So what you're saying is we'll have to run O7S and abandon multiple times before the boss is finally not invincible?

I bet it would have significant invincibility periods (rip MCH) but that would also explain the trailer bit with the screens showing the Air Force, Dadaluma and Ultros sprites (and then also that one that looks like the boss from Gubal). Changing (possibly random?) attack patterns.

There is. I can only make out 4 people running around, so I'm guessing Fractal..

This is the most likely thing, but it'd be fun if one of the tiers was two simultaneous 4man fights.

e: actually what if this is the roulette mechanic in what looked like Kefka's Tower? It did have two screens, maybe theres two platforms?

If you're going into gavel unsynced it can get wonky. I can't remember how we changed up the strat we used to use, but it's different than doing it synced.

This part is silly since the whole point of you doing any relic quest was so they could be mass produced.

Yeah our min HP tank ate all the balls because that was the only way to drop his HP enough, iirc.

Noz had also suggested having the MT turn around to lower avoidance but I'm not sure if that worked or not. Gavel phase gets wierd unsynced.

Hey. Just letting everyone know that I dunno if I'll be around here much anymore. I'm gonna still be playing the game, but I've got a lot of real life stuff going on. Not all of it is great. That doesn't leave much time for message boards and fandom stuff. Gonna be mostly focused on stuff with friends.

I'm really thankful for all the advice you folks gave me. Posting about FF14 is probably the best time I've had on Something Awful.

Your posts were fantastic. Thanks for sharing them. Hope you get everything worked out.

I think what we heard of both the phantom train and dancing mad in the trailer were as far as I can tell new arrangements (if rather faithful to the original).

unlike wow this game doesn't care which way you face wrt avoidance. You can block dodge with your back to a mob and I am pretty sure parry as well.

I think I'll give the art team a pass for reusing things for the dungeon and crafting sets, when we're getting a new Feast arena in addition to Feast team customization options and a interface rework to accommodate them, Eureka, a Perform interface, and Duty Recorder interface. Is it lazy? Sure. But they clearly had a lot on their table. While Eurekas been a thing that was kept in the oven for a while, there's still a lot of texture and interface work going on for things that haven't really been that old, publicly.

Also if this new emote isn't a god drat high five........

it mattered in HW but not sure if they changed it in stormblood. take sephirot's or any towers that pop up with a big aoe marker and tower in the middle for example. If you're facing the center of the tower you can block, parry, and dodge the physical explosion. If you had your back to it, you could not.

This is how you solo tanked sephex in HW because a dragoon at 270 could just keen flurry and/or foresight one of the tank towers and survive.

Yea also 99% sure it was a SB change. The reason being is in SB they now let you block magic damage to make plds better as well.

It's along the same note of auto-attacks, iirc.

But yeah, basically gavel is funky unsynced so I can't blame someone for not figuring it out with guides designed for i240 at best.

I'd actually assume BRD to be the one third from the left, with the cover over one eye. For some reason that tends to be a style when it comes to ranged classes because I guess people close one eye to shoot and it helps accuracy. So that would be my guess as to the BRD set.

That's the scouting set.

gently caress yes, ranged gets a full-face metal helmet. Now I just need a caster/healer alternative to the helm of the white/black griffin and ARMORBOI will be able to play all the jobs.

I was thinking casting, scouting, striking, fending, healing, aiming, maiming.

It's also very possible the catgirl is ninja and one of the helmets is sam/mnk, but I definitely feel like the far right guy is dragoon because they frequently have models similar to tanks.

Also, is it just me or are tanks getting fewer big helmets these days? A lot of circlets and face guards but no big old tin can on the head.
