We also know that primals were a serious issue during Allag's time, and I think it's been strongly implied that the Garleans encountered a lot of Allagan magitek early on so they presumably know all about Allag's experiences with primals.

For that matter, I think it's likely that the Empire fought primals when securing its own continent. I don't recall hearing much about Garlemald itself, but it wouldn't surprise me if the Garleans encountered and fought primals summoned by locals on their home continent before the Garleans sought out other lands to conquer.

It’s not just implied - it’s how they went from being the most pathetic humanoid race on Hydaelyn to an unstoppable military juggernaut. Solus zos Galvus was really, really good at reverse-engineering Allagan magitek.

They probably had help from the Ascians to accomplish reverse-engineering Allagan tech anyway, if we're being honest. For instance, maybe a hundred years gamble by them to teach about Allag in the hopes that Garlemald will cause a Calamity just like Allag. And, well, Garlemald did with Nael van Darnus. A century is a drop in the bucket for them, after all.

Why is it needed to unlock the Ridorana Lighthouse?

After 3.0, it seems like all the bad writers got shuffled off to the 24 raid content.


It'sa goofy (and much faster) redo of the Titan questline in a bit of self deprecating humor and it ends early because Hancock shows up and just tells you the loving lie cause it's easier and faster. and it kind of owns.

It's also named after the best Seal song so 10/10 quests IMO.

During PAX last year, Koji went into Hancock's character. I believe he said something to the effect of him being "the foreigner" in Japan at first, saying and doing things foreigners would do that make indigenous peoples uncomfortable. But, since the localization team relates with the idea of people like Hancock, they didn't feel comfortable with Hancock being portrayed like that and asked if he could be a little less stereotypical in that respect. I don't know, I'll see if I can find the video.

Literally everybody comes out of that quest looking like an idiot. Except Hancock.

I also like how the game lets you attempt to ignore the quest and then pulls a "but thou must" and you have to talk to the historian anyway.

Hancock is amazing in that quest. Make sure you talk to Gegeruju again once you actually get the item you're looking for. Hancock set up this elaborate ruse just to sell Hingashi wines using you as a go-between. Sure, you got what you wanted, but he was just using you to eventually hock his own wares to Gegeruju.

Also, for anyone feeling bad about conning Gegeruju: he freely admits he intends to do the exact same ploy to someone else, using the same kind of wine no less. Hancock really knows the score.

I think they did a good job with him. He's not some touristy klutz constantly breaking rules of etiquette, but he is a huge dweeb who's collecting Far Eastern gewgaws and who waxes poetic about the various subtleties of Othardian languages.

There's one for the EU, I don't think there is an "official" one for NA as the linkshells themselves only hold 64 people and there's already a 3 FC split on there.

Third time now I had to abandon a 24 man because they just couldn't clear the 3rd boss.

It's not even that they fail simple math (although half the raid reliably does) , but they die by droves to the other mechanics too, so either the whole raid wipes on the 3 minibosses or its just a slow death by attrition with the boss at 70% hp.

Guess I'll just give up on getting a 370 upgrade token for a week or two, so the thickies can slowly get used to simple questions like 'what is 2+2' .
