I wonder if NG+ mode exists as a way for the devs to completely nuke the 2.0 story and re-do a less tedious version of it, while giving everyone access to it. I'm not too sure if I'd do a NG+ mode because I just don't want to slog through the tedium of 2.x to get to the good stuff. I'd like to experience it again, but god drat I do not need to do several hours worth of titan buffet again.

They'll offer some dumb minion and maybe a lovely mount as a reward for NG+ and I'll slam that button in seconds because I am a loving idiot.

Nessus posted:I think in-universe thus far any time you died in a fight, it's actually an alternate Echo scenario you newtyped out. The WoL is like the dude from Re:Zero; even though everyone perceives them as winning all the fights, in reality they get painfully killed constantly and repeat them until they win. Zenos knows this, which is why he spared the WoL in their first encounters.

M.c.P posted:Buttons to take off your PLD bars: Shield bash is only good to boop annoying enemies that are annoying enough to justify losing a GCD when you don't have a white mage. Tempered Will is useful to keep casting holy spirit when you know a knockback is happening. Cover someone else when you know a knockback is coming so they keep dpsing. Agreed, Intervention is not worth spending oath on when you could be sheltroning to shield swipe more. Clemency while screaming "HOLY!" at the white mage. Rare usage. Shirk is a raid tool. Anticipation is free mitigation. Ultimately I don't agree that any of these deserve to be removed from the bar as of now, but I won't miss Anticipation, Shield bash is irksomely kludgey and I really wish Total Eclipse would just replace Flash with itself and be blinding.

here's my weekly checkin on me complaining about honest healers: ran some level 50 content as whm and you still have so much loving time to do dps it's unreal just slap a regen on the tank they'll be fine, let them drop low who gives a poo poo hit them with benediction and go back to throwing whatever rocks you find on the ground, chain cast holy who needs the mp when all the enemies are stunned forever

Speaking of Crutch, if you decide to do T8 unsynced for some reason, bringing two melee DPS should let you completely ignore ballistic missile by Crutching the bound people

Freeze is the worst offender, because at least things like Fire 2 and Bliz 2 have some marginal use at low level and Crutch hasn't stubbornly existed since 2.0.

The DRK quest owns because it is one of the few (if only) times in the game where we get to actually have the WoL's thoughts. "Thus let me live, unseen, unknown; Thus unlamented let me die; Steal from the world, and not a stone Tell where I lie." Mordiceius fucked around with this message at 21:18 on Dec 4, 2018 |

Marathanes posted:Wars: The Invasion of Eorzea in 1.X, Dragonsong War, Liberation of Ala Mhigo, Liberation of Doma (the half war?) To be completely clear: Dragonsong, Ala Mhigo, Doma are the full wars. The half war stuff is basically everything big that happened in Eorzea proper. (Because that's not over yet.) The Serious poo poo(tm) moments: The Post-Archbishop Ishgard Coup and the lead up to the Final Steps of Faith, specifically what happens at the unveiling of the crest in Falcon's Nest for the Dragonsong war. For Ala Mhigo, you've got the Summoning of Shinryu and the whole Specula Imperatoris thing. To me it's not only that the WoL can't save everyone, but that the WoL can fail (usually through no fault of their own) and BOY HOWDY what happens when they do fail.

A lot of it is also the willingness of people to throw themselves in front of the WoL. The WoL is dangerous in and of themselves, but the cult of personality (ha!) is also a burden. As a beacon inspiration, the WoL inspires people to lay down their lives willingly.

Kaubocks posted:also the final DRK journal entry ending with "You are still a good person." is so simple and cliche but it still blows my rear end away One of my personal favorites is: He laments his fate, wishing he could go back and convince his former self not to place his trust in the Griffin...but if such things were possible, you wouldn't have a broken shield, now would you? All three Dark Knight arcs have been top loving tier. I know that for a lot of people, the 50-60 arc is their least favorite out of the three but it is still probably better than any other arc of any other class. And personally, I thought it was so loving badass at how it subverted my expectations. At the end when Sid has his blade ready to murder Rielle's mother and Rielle steps up. I immediately expected the cliche story of Rielle begging to save her mother's life and instead when she walked up and said something like, "I see this will never end. I hope you find peace in the next life." my jaw just about hit the loving floor. I hope the 70-80 arc is just as good as these.

So, I want to get the entire Sigmascape caster set, because it oozes FF6 and I love it. That includes the BLM staff, which means I need to do savage Kefka. I see that this is available in the duty finder. How much pain am I in for here?

You will not be able to clear savage kefka in the duty finder. Maybe after much struggling and deliberation in party finder. Maybe.

08S is considerably easier than it was half a year ago if everybody is at about i400, but you're still going to need to learn mechanics and deal with wipes caused by any one member loving up. You'll want to do this in PF, not DF, and don't go in with the expectation that you'll get what you want quickly unless you luck out and find a very good farm party that somehow doesn't already have what they want.

God Kefka is a very healer-centric fight. If you can find some pro healers to carry you through, the other mechanics are not that hard. After watching videos and reading about it for like 30 minutes I got super lucky, found a PF clear group, and cleared on my first time in the fight in about 40 minutes when it was current.

Hello I do not recommend you attempt to heal a dungeon while having steam downloading a game in the background full blast. While it's fun to have so much latency that casting swiftcast-holy-holy causes swiftcast apply to the second holy, it's not fun to have the tank die because benediction has a 3 second delay.

But this isn't real, so why should you care, kupo? (I might legitimately freak the gently caress out if the game started talking like that in DRK quest logs.)

If you want just dark and menacing, the Silvergrace rod, which uses the old lilith relic model, the Black Khan rod from the anima line, and the Scintillant staff are neat. My personal favorite is the Storm Captain's Rod.
