The Ala Mhigan's have been refugee's for 20 years, their need for immediate charity has long since passed (and the lack of 'sufficient aid' has been an ongoing plot point ever since 2.0.)

It's almost like there are lots of problems in Ala Mhigo and all of them need to be addressed before the country can stand on its own. Crazy poo poo right?

Metal, Metal (Brute Justice), Locus, and Rise are all awesome. Nothing has come close to answers at level 50, though, as far as epic music goes.

Answers is definitely the most mood-appropriate but I like how experimental a lot of the fight music is in FFIXV, and Alexander is a good example. Same with stuff like Ramuh's theme, where you wouldn't have thought of it as like a big boss showdown song but they went there anyway and it works.

I think part of why I have such a hard on for answers is because I was tanking and the second (I think) ahk morn is right after gigaflare and I would provoke and holmgang through it while the music was in full crescendo. It was really sick. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UvomZ9-E44&t=608s It still gives me chills. I know that's stupid to say about a video game, but it was really loving cool. Note - this is not my video just a random war perspective video. Same feel.

Ironically, Lolorito has done more to prove he can be trusted than he has to prove that he can't. We know his motivation (profit) and we also know that he won't pull the rug out from under everybody in the idiot pursuit of short-term profit, because he had the chance to try for all the marbles and didn't take it.

Metal Brute Justice has some lines from Exponential Entropy in it, making it about 20% Exponential Entropy which is better than most songs which are 0%.

If i'm being completely honest, I kind of forgot which one lolorito was and got him confused with the lala who tried to kill the sultana (do I need to use spoiler tags for something that happened in 2.5?). What was lolorito's deal again?

What was lolorito's deal again? Teledji is the one that tried to do that. Lolorito owns the East Aldenard Trading company, is filthy rich, and actually smart about doing his thing. He had the poison to be used in the assassination switched with a sleeping draught and had agents in place so he could sweep up Teledji's fortune while minimizing the chaos caused by the whole deal. Or in other words, Lolorito is probably the most dangerous person in Ul'dah because he has resources and knows how to use them properly without tipping his hand unknowingly.

Did you know the second Ivalice boss is not the time to not know where your limit break is as healer and then you open up the actions and traits window only to find that's all moved around?

Indeed, the best time for that is when you're an SCH in WoD and 80% of the raid (and all of the other healers) are dead because someone dragged a Particle Beam through the crowd. Bonus points if you finally find the button for it, but forget that healer LB3s have a limited radius and so you wind up reviving nothing but a couple of BRDs.

Well it's not like he said DON'T give aid to the sick, the hungry, the suffering. He was just giving on advice on what he thinks would be the best way to help Ala Mhigo as a whole, on the long term.

I feel like the fact that Ala Mhigo has a giant horde of treasure at their disposal should've come up more in the discussions of needed aid that happened between "we need a plan on how to use it other than giving out bags of gold bars to people" and "we should use some of it so Ul'dah doesn't pay as much"

i hate map owner only needs groups. if you are participating in dps, and contributing maps for the group, you fuckin need on everything. just cause one dude got the one map where good drops appear that night doesn't mean he gets all the drops when he wouldn't be there without the group.

The map owner is the only one who can need on items in Lost/Hidden canals. Everyone else has to greed. Which is hosed since no one has control over which maps spawn the portals. I've run groups where people show up and bring maps for a week and don't get a single portal spawn. Plus, it's going to make things less friendly. Because if you're in someone else's portal, you'll be hoping they fail so you can get out and get your own portal

Its okay as long as long as everyone gets a chance to do a map, and means everyone will get at least something. some of the hosed up PF map groups are like lootmaster pony farming groups though, big scam

More newbie questions. What stats should I be looking for on gear as a Dragoon? I just finished the level 45 quest which gave me most of the level 45 Drachen set. It has less Defensive stats than the nice HQ level 46/47 set I crafted for myself while leveling armorer and leatherworker, but more of the offensive ones. To be specific, the five Drachen pieces (including the level 50 chestpiece I'll get eventually) have 145 less Defense, 268 less Magic Defense, 6 more Strength, Vitality, and Direct Hit Rate, 24 more Determination, 20 more Crit, and 35 more Skill Speed. It also lacks the 11 Materia slots the L46/47 set has. Based on that I'd go with the L46/47 set and maybe slot it with some cheap materia, because that sounds like a lot of defense to me, but it occurs to me that I actually have no idea how effective/useful the Defense stat is, or whether or not I should be trying to get it high. Bonus glamour question: the wiki tells me that if I take the appearance of one item and put it on another item, I don't lose the item that had it's appearance copied, unlike every other MMO I've ever played that had this sort of dress-up system. That's pretty great. It also means I can repeatedly copy one item's appearance onto other gear, yes?

It has less Defensive stats than the nice HQ level 46/47 set I crafted for myself while leveling armorer and leatherworker, but more of the offensive ones. Below level 50, there's some (tank + DRG) gear that's got tank-level defense stats in some cases and DRG-level defense stats in other cases. Ultimately as a DRG you're going to end up with DRG-level defenses from level 50+, so while there may be a few times you have tank-level defenses pre-50, don't get terribly used to it. Just go with whatever's higher ilvl and/or higher strength. The more important thing is the flip side - if you're playing a tank and considering some of those tank + DRG gear sets, make sure they've actually got tank-level defense stats on them. Defense stats aren't really make-or-break for a DRG (or anyone else), but they have a very noticeable impact on incoming damage as a tank. Related: tanks should upgrade left-side armor more frequently than other jobs, and getting that left-side armor to be HQ - or a dungeon drop - matters more for them as well. Out of date armor, non-HQ crafted armor (aka vendor whites), and armor that isn't even intended for tanks, each comes with a consequence of shittier defense. Even one of those things is noticeable; doing multiple will make your healers (rightly) start commenting about having to carry you. Everyone else really only needs to care about frequent upgrades and HQ for their weapon (tanks care about weapons too, mind you, because damage and threat), and non-tanks' armor can safely slide to a fair extent. Most everyone can let their accessories slide for long stretches. Vil fucked around with this message at 05:49 on Oct 14, 2017 |
