Yeah. I'm hella into the idea of a Blitzball Manager game. Those Football Manager games are always fuckin hella popular on Steam. Just copy those but rename it to Blitzball.
Wasn't FFX-2's take on Blitzball pretty much this?

Yes. I think it would work, or even an actual Blitzball minigame. Being able to travel the world and recruit NPCs into your team FFX-style would be fun, and a great way to have players interact with some of the town flavor NPCs or one-time quest steps or givers.

My number one hope for Ishgard recon is to get some dragons chilling out scattered around like the knights chilling at Zenith from Moogle beast tribe stuff.

Speaking of HW beast tribes they should add Vath Deftarm to the trust system.

Having one rep from each of the beast tribes would be fantastic. Maybe you earn them when you reach max rank: Linu Vanu for the Zundu, Kabuto for the Kojin.

Also Ga Bu, just for fun.

edit: Ga Bu won't speak or act in the dungeon unless a party member is KO'd, at which point he goes berserk and deals high damage to whichever enemy or boss KO'd the character.

Linu Vanu as DNC rep.

She does nothing but Sundrop Dance the entire time, which gives the entire party a permanent max dance buff.

It requires you to level crafting a little bit, but desynthesis is really good for making money. Armorcrafting desynth is particularly good, because it lets you turn GC seals into artisan frypans which desynth into fieldcraft and mastercraft demimateria, and poetics into shields which desynth into battlecraft demimateria (plus clear demimateria, crystals, and other materials). All of those sell very well.

It’s the same folks who get mad at healers for dps’ing while they are tanking/dps’ing because that is not “respecting their role”. I’ve only ran into it like once or twice but man are there some people who get really angry over weird stuff sometimes.

Nah. The people who get mad at plds using clemency are actually good at the game. Your example are all bad players.

For other noobs who are broke: you can save a lot of money jumping worlds on the market board. Use this site to check the prices on neighbor worlds. I was gonna buy some gear and I saved like 500k. Presumably you could also make money moving things from a cheaper server to yours if no one else is paying attention to it.

Clemency is an emergency button because sometimes things go wrong and also solo content is a thing.

Is this worth it with how many seals Artisan gear costs?

I'm hoping the first tier of crafting/gathering gear uses FC3s again in the expac because I have hundreds of them saved up ~just in case~.

I still can’t decide if I’d want it to be playable blitz ball where a party plays themselves or basically Blitzball Manager where you recruit various NPCs, train em, make tactics and basically just a simplistic Blitzball version of Football manager except your star Striker is Tataru.

Isn't one of the main reasons they haven't included Blitz Ball in FF14 yet is because they haven't found a way to make it fun because it was never good in the first place :greenangel:

The thing to make it fun would have it actually be a multiplayer minigame. Basic swimming movement plus PVP-style commands. Wasn't Blitzball four on four already?

Primarily steel production, which just makes it more baffling since you can buy steel off the amaljaa at a pretty low rep. But then if people don't know you can buy bomb ash, they won't know about steel either.

It also sucks rear end to level. It was tedious but not awful until I finished the HW stuff I could solo. Then the only option is like tank queue for level 60 dungeons and grind them and hope you win greed rolls. :negative:

Which are you trying to level/what level are they? I have LTW WVR and GSM desynth at 300+ and did a lot of it off turning in crafting/gathering scrips for gear, both during HW and now.

I stopped playing this game just after Stormblood released. I just resubbed and have no interest in taking my AST up to 70 to finish Stormblood content. By not doing this, am I going to screw myself out of being able to play DNC when Shadowbringers releases? I figured while I wait for Shadowbringers I'd just level my crafting / gathering classes. I also have a newborn, so my time is very limited / sporadic and I don't feel like I could do dungeons right now to level anything anyway.

I think as long as you had a job/class at the starting level for the new one you're able to start it.

Sam started at level 50, which is why you were able to start it when you had a monk at 50
