Because.

Really though DRK benefits from having one of the mostly tightly integrated into the main story’s various narratives all the way through.

Also you get the benefit of short queue times as you move into more current stuff. Better chances to collect clusters.

Why the balls do the tank feet have the *least* amount of material?

Inverse armor rule. It's how the Shisui set works in the first place.

Tanks have no shame and will show off their ankles like the harlots they are. Healers and DPS adhere to the social norms.

Wow what an overdesigned piece of poo poo. Like someone looked at Ultima and said "NO, NOT ENOUGH SURFACE! And gently caress up the proportions even more!"
The primals slash big raid bosses hae always gone in that direction design-wise, but they really managed to top themselves here.

Unless they change things up that won't happen because Nero is a part of the Crystal Tower storyline, including IIRC a quest NPC, and thus can't die.

If a character mysteriously doesn't appear outside of anything but MSQ or a specific plotline then you worry about them.

He doesn't need to stand around to initiate any quests, so I'm not sure he's safe. It could be like other instances where seeing npcs doesn't make sense (50 cul), so you're actually just remembering something that happened earlier.

Based on what hes done so far I have a feeling his end game is to cause Axis Omega to crash into Earth Eorzea from orbit, killing all life. Amuro Cid will try to stop him and they'll both end up dissipating into a psycho-field aether, saving the day but giving their lives in the process.

question for high end crafters: what rotations do you use for the lv 70 2star stuff? the beginning of the old raths rotation (makers mark, piece by piece, a million flawless synths) gets the progress where i need it but the quality part of cashing in a buffed 11 inner quiet byregots doesn't get the quality even close. Any new rotations for this?

edit i guess its this https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/6oeaqj/evians_2star_macro_94_hq_from_all_nq_materials/

Nero's too much of a likeable character at this point for them to randomly axe him, especially since he provides a nice foil to everyone else's starry-eyed optimism. Someone else in this thread said it, but it's a genuine shame he isn't included more in Stormblood's MSQ, because I think it really could've used a voice of sincere skepticism prodding at everyone's plans.

That looks like a rotation for the easier 2* recipes, but not the Ala Mhigan gear. The recipe for that is the same concept as Rath's (unless you have the stats to use Initial Preparations - Specialty: Reflect), but you want to buff the touches as much as possible too. For example, the rotation I use is:

Macro 1
Maker's Mark - Comfort Zone - Inner Quiet - Steady Hand II - 3x Piece by Piece - 2x Prudent Touch - 3x Flawless Synthesis

Macros 2-5
Comfort Zone - 10x Flawless Synthesis

Macro 6
Comfort Zone - 4x Flawless Synthesis - Manipulation II - Steady Hand II - 4x Prudent Touch

Macro 7
Comfort Zone - Steady Hand II - Ingenuity II - 3x Prudent Touch - Observe - Focused Touch - Steady Hand - Ingenuity II - Great Strides

Then manually Innovation (so I can skip it on an Excellent) - Byregot's Blessing - Careful Synthesis II

I still need like 8k starting quality to make sure I HQ though.

That looks awful. I'm sitting at 70 in all the crafting/gathering classes and can easily afford the melds, but between those rotations and the busywork required to do the specialist shuffle I have absolutely no motivation to actually do any 2 star gearing/crafting.

There's a lot of content between the end of the bit you are on and the start of the first expac, there were a lot of story patches

2.0 can drag in the middle but I'd never recommend to anyone to get a skip pot. The game does a really good job of easing you into all the mechanics as you level up for the game itself and your jobs, despite me thinking some classes get certain abilities later than they should.
