Fister Roboto posted:What I don't get is that I thought FF12 was supposed to be long before FFT, and that a cataclysm happened between them that wiped out all the moogles, viera, and other non-human people. Everyone thought that, I think, which means that either we were wrong or this depiction of Ivalice isn't actually the "real" one, which is what I'm still leaning towards because there's so much poo poo that needs explaining, dear lord Or they're just loving with the timeline.

SpaceDrake posted:(Actual rear end spoilers) Oh drat, that's a lot more than I thought. Though my confusion is the same as Fister Roboto's: a lot of aspects of FFXII are perfectly situation to have been far in the past of FFT, so the idea that it was actually far after FFT throws the whole Ivalice timeline into question. Still, that's kind of a cool approach, and now I'm gonna have to go do it because I'm a huge sucker for Ivalice.

I've been getting a really weird bug since update, where random UI elements will turn off for me and I have to manually go back in to turn them back on, like my exp bar, my party list, my hp, my gil, my buffs and debuffs, etc. Anyone else having this issue?

This hasn't happened to me, but happened to someone in my FC while we were running Rabanastre. His client was glitching out during the fight, and then yeah the HUD started switching itself off.

We did Shinryu EX blind tonight! And died a whole lot! Spoilers on mechanics that we were able to figure out, I'm sure there's more detailed stuff on Reddit but it was neat trying to learn a fight with no outside assistance: Heart of the Worm hypercharges his aetherial attacks. It has to die before he gets the 100-Aether attack off. Earthen Fury: raid buster. Cracks about four panels. Burning Chains: Run away to break the chains, does periodic damage and debuffs. Tidal Wave: Same as usual. After Chains-Wave, someone will get a Green Marker. When the marker disappears, the tail will smash that tile. Run to a safe tile (not the center!) and drop it, then get out and get ready to kill the tail. Left Wing, Blue Circle: Icicles to the back round that shoot forward and knock you back. Dodge the icicles. Left Wing, Gray Circle: Ice Storm, moderate-damage raid buster. Right Wing, Purple Circle: Levinbolt. Spread out. Right Wing, Red Circle: Hypernova. I haven't been able to figure out exactly how it targets, but it picks a player and blows them up. Go into the water pools for this, I guess? Akh Morn: Either immunity through this or stack with the other tank and hit a defensive cooldown. Dragon Punch: Get out of the center black circle. Earth Breath: Cone AOE. Run to the shoulder. Hellfire: Stand in the water. Judgement Bolt: Don't be in the water, be topped off. We didn't make it past the third corrupted aether tonight but I'm pleased with the fight thus far. Looking forward to the next couple phases.

I ran the Ivalice raid a second time (I don't know why, I already suffered through an alliance of mostly clueless newbies earlier in the day) and at least now I know how the last boss's signature mechanic works and it's kind of neat. The white mask tells the truth, follow its instructions. The black mask lies, disobey it. It's still undermined by the fact that if you have no idea what you're doing and ignore it you've got about a 50/50 shot at passing the check anyway, and it takes three stacks of the failure debuff to really screw you.

SpaceDrake posted:(Actual rear end spoilers) It's not The same Ivalice as FFXII at all. Cid and Alma talk about Rabanastre trying to remain neutral in the war until it was Crushed by the Garlean Empire. Rabanastre in XII eventually overcame a totally different empire and built an alliance between that Empire and its major rival. It's all just a reference and not actually the thing. It's why FFXII some how happens after the mudhole world where magic is dying in FFT in FF14's version even though the original Ivalice has it the other way because Ashe's destruction of the Sun Cryst cuts the Magic Source Illuminati off from the world. And it's also why Ba'gamnan is there somehow 1000 years after Rabanastre's destruction.

Not even close. It sounds like libertarian bootstrapping because he says that charity makes people lazy. Like, straight up says that. Ivalice raid was sweet, third boss going Dukes of Hazzard on us was the funniest loving thing. Also we got the last guy down with 9 minutes left because we had like 8 red mages and 4 people were real trigger happy with the release button, so we limped by for 15 minutes in an endless chain of red mages and healers scraping each other up before we killed him. Patch is real good.

Rabanastre in XII eventually overcame a totally different empire and built an alliance between that Empire and its major rival. It's this. The Ivalice stuff isn't Ivalice of FFT or Rabanastre of FF12. It's a reference, imported into XIV and naturalized to be part of its world, with the necessary editing and "retcons" to make it work/do what the writers want it to do. The Ivalice timeline places FFT as being after XII, but that's not the case in XIV's version. Ivalice is an ancient kingdom and mostly a myth in the modern age. Rabanastre is a city that has existed for some time and was an active city until recently. The Dalmasca desert is described to be in southern central Othard, close to Nagxia, which is south of Doma in the Othard map. Given that Othard extends beyond the confines of the in-game map, it's probably in the clouded region.

I know there's an option that makes it only display the debuffs that you've personally applied to the enemy (somewhere under the target menu in character customization IIRC), but that's not ideal either for obvious reasons. If anyone knows a way to change the color for the debuffs that you've applied so it's actually noticeable, that would be amazing and I'd love you forever. Also, as promised in the patch notes, you can in fact have your whole dumb family out at once. I was half-expecting that I'd crash the whole game server by having a chocobo + a minion + an egi out at the same time.

The Ivalice raid definitely seems structured in such a way that in the third one they can just pull back for a complete fake out one way or the other. The concept of it being a theater troop trying to discern fact from fiction lends itself to that pretty strongly, it's all artifice. Right now it's hard to say whether it's contradictory or coincidental.

There's been so many different Ivalices that trying to genuinely map out what's what doesn't really work so gently caress it, have timelines cross over if it means we get some good and fun fanservice. I can only really see it being a case of where it's not the genuine Ivalice of 12/FFT but they story is so well loved that it's brought into existence just like an Eikon or whatever with Auracite as the catalyst.

I'm still only halfway through the 4.1 msq but (spoilers) the scene where you talk with Fordola in the prison cell and she sees your past might be my favourite voiced scene in the game. Also my favourite part of the new raid was when you get hit by Trample for the first time. It was worth it for the unique animation.
