Sorry, not allowed, which is why MCH is now BRD with a gun glamoured over the bow. Exact same gameplay otherwise.

man, i was leveling a marksman hunter in wow back in legion and absolutely loved the class. i was transmogging all my weapons into guns

then i got the artifact weapon, which was a bow. no big deal, i thought, i can just transmog over it. but like... all the abilities were clearly designed with a bow in mind, aesthetically. so even though i was having fun with the class i dropped it because i wasn't enjoying the aesthetic anymore :smith:

anyway that's only tangentially related just this post made me remember it and made me sad again

Dia was in the very first FF (the English version called it Harm) It was also in 1.0 but it was a Thaum spell, not a WHM spell.

I STILL think they missed a huge opportunity to use these old SNES Era translation names for the Red Mage spells. Verholy should have been Pearl and Verflare should have been Nuke.

Uhhh. Don't oaths show up in the skill screen? (That lvl 10 Iron Will is using Shield Oath's icon?) Also no Total eclipse? No shield bash or swipe? hrm.

They're probably giving both MRD and GLD their tanking stances earlier, since new tanks genuinely struggle to hold aggro in lower level dungeons if they get synced DPS (especially bursty DPS like RDM). The only use Bash had left was if you were doing unsynced Leviathan Extreme for some bizarre reason, and Swipe's a completely forgettable skill on a class that's already got a good number of OGCDs to pump out.

I am hardly an expert on the history, but supposedly the reason is something to do with the licensing of Toriyama's artwork and character design.

It makes me real sad, because CT is my favorite game ever, and it may as well never exist to SE because of weird legalities :(

Its probably this to a large extent when it comes to actual sequel or remake talk, plus I'd thought that there was still some bad blood between SE and Mitsuda as well. Just making references or having cameos in another game (with that game's style) shouldn't be verboten but somehow feels like it is.

hello I hope i'm not too late for the character yearbook, I even went waaaay way back and dug up a screenshot of my very first character in ARR:



she was a good catte, but when I finally came back to the game about midway through HW I decided I wanted to try something different, so I rolled a totally new character -- buff lizard, big heals!!



and this is one of the last few screenshots I took just before Stormblood's launch:



and now here we are waiting for Shadowbringers, living the DPS life and much wiser in the ways of gpose and reshade...



:ssh: my white mage glamour is pretty much the same now as it was back then, it's changed a few times but I keep going back because that chest piece is too good

I played way back pre-HW, but never got further than 43 MNK. I rejoined a couple weeks ago, but have gotten through all the ARR content and unlocked all the jobs since then. Currently rocking SAM. So I don't have old screenshots, but I have recent.. Been working on my Ironworks gear cause it looks awesome. Also my first time using /gpose I really don't get how it works.

Dia was a white magic spell in FF11 that did damage over time.

Dia was the undead damage spell. And the first AoE you got in FF1. It was only useful in some situations but being able to burn a group of undead at low levels is really really handy.


ETA: I misread 11 as 1. Don't get high before going to work and reading the forums kids.

These exchange rates are loving ridiculous. Only 34 Praetorium runs to get the earring, lol. People are just gonna end up doing preformed party Tam-Tara or LOTA speedruns to grind out the earring and maybe the unMBable diadem stuff, they'll be miserable about it the whole time, and the queue time for the low level duties won't actually get any better.
