Godbert goes AFK at the starting point for the whole dungeon, only to port into the boss room and one-shot it with a suplex

He also sets clear time records for Sigmascape 1.0.

It's his Stone Sky Sea.

If you bring Raubahn to Baelsar's Wall, Ilberd uses Arm Graze to stun him at the start of the fight.

Yotsuyu uses powerful versions of SMN AOE spells, but they damage the party as well.

You think that's bad? Khloe summons more enemies in dungeons so that it'll be a more exciting story.

In order to unlock the new Extreme fights, you have to bring the Wandering Minstrel with you to the regular primal fights. He just sits to the side narrating the new mechanics as they come out.

I would gladly sacrifice a party spot if it meant the god drat Dragoon might move out of the AoE thanks.

I recently saw the video that showed that Haurchefant in the original Japanese script is like, moments away from cumming in his pants anytime the WoL shows up and is all around basically an entirely different character.

Are there more examples of stuff like that? I know that the script is "punched up" alot in English but that seems like the biggest change I've seen.

I play with English text and the German dub to brush up on German. The German is usually much more plain and boring than the English text. Sometimes you'll get a whole paragraph of flavor in English and the German is a single line.

Yeah, actually understanding a good chunk of what they are saying while reading the translation and going "Oh poo poo why is it so different?" messes me up every time. People can complain about flowery script all they want, but its infinitely better than the drab japanese one.

IIRC, during ARR, Japanese players asked for their version to be made more like the English one after they learned about the differences. Lots of requests for puns

lol if you think Rowena would give up a penny more than she absolutely needed to.

Alternately: she'll one shot the boss for you but in return you have to stand around in Idylshire for a week selling poo poo for her.

Don't have any specific examples but apparently the JP 50-60 DRK quests comes off as more sad than the resentful and angry ones we got.

Reducing DoT tracking is one of the things I actually like about nu-Scholar, it was the last job that had multiple ones of different durations I think?

I'm still not happy about the healer changes in general, but the SCH healing toolkit is stronger than I gave it credit for at first glance. It will actually be able to clear content. It still feels like all the healers are going to be weaker and less dynamic at 80 than they are right now though, and synced content is going to be an excuse to take a nap. A lot of it seems like a weird half-step to convert to WoW healspam.

Not that anyone is going to care (the thread and discord have both made that very clear) but I do apologise for getting wound up and snippy yesterday. It's just kind of annoying to see a job you've probably spent a thousand hours playing get worse while a bunch of people mansplain it to you or troll away

Which is amazing, I just hope we get more trust characters added. Especially some of the non-main Scions who have been around the whole game: Hoary Boulder, Coultenet, Arenvald. Other NPCs would be cool too. Running dungeons with the First's versions of the three city-state leaders could be a great way to develop them more, especially Merlwyb and Kan-e-Senna.

Honestly I just hope they have party banter for earlier dungeons with later trusts, although I would be barely disappointed if they didn't have it. Considering the banter is just text though, it feels pretty likely they will do that.
