The Grimace posted:if you can't come to terms with this, I don't know what to tell you. Estinien was the first character they turned into an action figure, and Alisaie was added to Final Fantasy Dissidia Opera Omni due to her popularity. that's a stupid metric and has no bearing the fact that it would be more interesting for spooky crystal guy to be someone of more significance or a new character because theyre clearly going to great lengths to conceal and tease who it is and it would be very anti-climactic for it to just be Generic Cat Guy from side content that lots of people never did johnny park fucked around with this message at 06:25 on Mar 25, 2019 |

Basically you are making poo poo up. Though I agree regardless, because Graha'tia and his dumbass naruto eye weren't great to begin with.

homeless snail posted:You know when they say "hard mode" its actually a brand new dungeon and not just a difficulty level, right? well when i hit level 50 and finally finished the ARR MSQ my choice at the time was either continue with the MSQ into HW or keep farting around in mor dhona unlocking tons of obsolete endgame content i just chose the former and never went back to clean up the mess of quest markers in revenant's toll.

Rastan Beeza posted:On the Fanfest Stream after the reveals, Ishikawa herself mentioned that everyone should play the CT raid, or at least re-watch the cutscenes. Oddly enough the game that the basic outline most resembles is Lightning Returns. A decaying world that is about to be destroyed where only a few places remain, one of which is a hedonistic party town where people party away the last days of their life.

B) lets your less lore knowledgeable userbase get an extra peek at what's going on in the side content C) makes people go "whats this persons backstory", play the old content (thus spending more time in your month to month subscription game) and maybe get them to go "I wonder what else is in all these side quests I walk by" and spend even more time Doing poo poo. This is all providing that the character introduction is well written, like "hey so I've been busy at the crystal tower doing experiments. what? what experiments? you don't remember? ah geez, well, lemme walk you through it" and not "hey im some poo poo head from a one off sentence mention in the lore book and i'm here to make you really loving confused for the next hour". XIV has already done this before by (DRK 60-70 spoiler)having you rescue the lady who poisoned you as part of the questline at one point and it was an exceptionally well written quest.

Luna Was Here posted:actually having well written plot that introduces old characters many dismissed as side, one offs is really good... Much like how Conservation of Detail is a thing, there's also such a thing as Conservation of Cast. If given the choice between re-using a character or introducing a new one it's usually better to do the former. Not only are re-introductions way shorter to do you'll also get a more developed side-character out of it as well. It's doing multiple things at the same time efficiently.

Cutter's Open Sobbing Also I can't believe I managed to get away from this game for a whole year before they decided that was that and they were going to drop bunny girls and gunblades in the expansion to force my hand. Now I have to figure out what the hell I've missed between 4.2 and now. so many goddamn beast tribes I bet

The Bhunivelze side of the plot was kinda lame though, looking back on it. Lightning Returns kicks rear end and saved the FFXIII 'series' for me, and as they were showing all of the new areas, I also got a heavy feeling that they're taking inspiration from it.

Is your gear more than 5 levels behind your exp level? If your weapon is way behind, even a vendor sword and shield will make a big difference. Tanks don't deal much damage compared to like DPS, but there isn't much difference between the tank classes themselves. Damage will also pick up once you actually get your combo finisher, which for some reason isn't until like 26.
