ZenMasterBullshit posted: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. Argas posted:It's this. Ah, that all makes a lot more sense, then. I'm guessing it's just a significantly larger one-to-one reference this time, so it's easy to read it as literally the same world. With most references in FFXIV, it's one character, one place, things like that, isolated and worked into FFXIV's world in a way that's recognizable but unique. Even something like Doma is pretty distinct from its FFVI incarnation--yeah, they both get conquered by a magitek empire and both have samurai, but they're aesthetically very different, as are their histories beyond that imperial thing. But Ivalice is way more recognizable as the Ivalice, it seems like.

Renegret posted:I loving love patch day raids when nobody knows what the gently caress. It's a fun mechanic, and hopefully since it only lasts for a few seconds at a time it won't outstay it's welcome. (I too stumbled around like a drunken idiot the first time). Also the fight lets you beat the poo poo out of Algus so it's good for that reason too.

Isn't the Glabados ruins in FF12 Mullonde? I never played 12 so I don't really know the overlap of the story. Like FFT lore has St. Ajora living in a time of airships and magic 1200 years before FFT. Is that the FF12 world?

Think so, yeah There's basically no overlap with FFT in XII outside the Espers and names of places/people though.

Lol I figured out right before the vote abandon on what would have been my second raid clear yesterday that using Collective Unconscious on Hashmal's Hammer Drop is a bad idea, because you get targeted AoEs right after that and eating two will kill you, and bunching people up makes them impossible to avoid, whoops!

I've actually had better luck with groups that do stack on the edge, as long as you know to get the gently caress out of there as soon as the AoE hits. Otherwise all the targeted AoEs are spread out and it's harder to dodge. Of course, coordinating that is impossible with pubbies so you just kind of have to wing it.

One thing that stuck out to me is that Ramza describes Rabanastre as "antediluvian," a term which literally means "pre-flood." Since the Great Flood occurred after the War of the Magi (and was the event that signaled the beginning of the Sixth Umbral Era) that would make the city at least 1600 years old, and likely older. I do believe the raid content is meant to be an oblique reference to Ivalice rather than stating that this world is Ivalice itself. They've always done it that way before, why stop now?

The Electronaut posted:Did the Born Again Anima light values get tweaked? Don't recall seeing it in the notes but sanity checking. "The rate at which weapons gain aetheric condensation has been increased for certain duties. More duties will contribute to aetheric condensation." Are the the changes to anima weapons this patch. I wish they had said what the changes actually were so I could know what else I can do finish mine out.

Because i've barely had a chance to play: the squadron dungeons are for leveling your own jobs up right? There's no special loot available or anything like that, it's just some good xp without waiting around for DF?

GreenBuckanneer posted:I probably shouldn't but: This is a pretty good chart, I'll have to follow it. I finished Manjimutt and most of the 'nyans (halfway through Shogunyan) so I still have a ways to go. They suggest avoiding Central Thanalan but IMO it's not a bad area since all the FATEs are low-level, the spawn rates are good, and you can tear through them fairly quickly with a chocobro (maybe the guide hasn't taken that into account though). The only real downside is the zone is fairly large. Renegret posted:I loving love patch day raids when nobody knows what the gently caress.  My first raid party kept doing this too.The mechanic is literally just the second half of Ravana's Swift Slaughter. Get in the circle, then spread again to avoid the incoming AoE. This is nothing new. And what gets me is the same players kept dying to it over and over again!

And what gets me is the same players kept dying to it over and over again! It's kind of better than that since the safe spot is so obvious but the hand mechanic affecting your movement prevents you from getting there if you don't understand how to deal with it. Literally Algus mocking you for not being able to move forward because he's got his hand on your forehead. The schoolyard bully-est attack.

Im an idiot who did the yokai grind (I did half of it last time so I was convinced it wasn't going to be terrible this time). Just so you know what you're in for, the last 2 weapons in outer la noscea took me something 250 fates just running back and forth between the 2 boss fates in the mines next to each other that spawn repeatedly.

yeah the hand mechanic takes a little getting used to, especially when you're not expecting it. confession time: that clip I posted? Dumb loving luck I went straight to the safe spot. I didn't even realize what was going on, I just happened to choose the right moment to start moving.

I wasn't crazy about the detour to Ul'dah, but the MSQ in this patch has actually been really cool. The instances in this expansion all around have been very good. Square's getting just a little more ambitious. So if Raubahn is The Bull, is Pipin The Calf?

I've been a good boy all expansion and not skipped the story even when it dips into bad but all of the section involving Nanamo almost got me to break and start skipping cutscenes. It was really, really bad. The setpiece battle overstays its welcome too. The stinger over in Kugane at the end was the most interesting part of the story quests because it involves two characters who are either funny or interesting or a character i want to step on me

Ohh, I didn't even realize there was a movement-fuckery mechanic involved. Every time the AoE came up, I didn't have any movement problems. Does it not hit the entire raid and I just got super-lucky or something?
