No, Yoshida's mentioned it as something he's aware people want a few times in the past, but that's about all.

He's said that Blitzball was something the team was planning, but at that point didn't have any concrete ideas on what the gameplay should be like within XIV.

It's been a while since they've mentioned it, and it was never an official confirmation. So the idea may have been dropped, or they might surprise us with it after it turns out people had been working on it in their spare time.

Blitzball seems potentially appropriate for the world we'll be visiting as something they invented. There's underwater sections again so hopefully there's more to do.

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.

Those are what I'm leveling, all having hit the I cannot solo anymore cap of about 160. What's the cheapest red scrip item to use? Since its Tuesday and customs just reset I'll have a ton of that.

Can't wait until one of our favourite NPCs sees what looks like a blitzball on the beach and runs to kick it, only to find it's a landmine, sending them to an early grave.

I'd play summoner more if they just let you use the primal form rather than terrible egi graphics. Final Fantasy XI style. Hell even let me do it after beating them. There's a mod for it but I'd way rather have a pokemon collection of primals that do different things.

Macys paid for this. Noodle Boy and Bonby are bad at video games and even worse friends.


Playing this on PS4(as I've said a few times, I guess) -- anyone have any tips and/or settings they use when playing with a controller? I'll be bouncing back and forth between those based on my laziness at the moment and I was wondering if there are any optimizations I should look into to make PS4 controller play easier/more intuitive.

Also, is there any way to switch the UI back and forth between the two without going into the options every time?

Thanks, y'all

This Google doc was really helpful for me when I was trying to set up controller stuff. It goes over all of the different settings that are available and section 13 has suggested crossbar setups for each job.

Offensive abilities on right trigger. Abilities that don't have cast times should be on face buttons as much as possible so you can move while also pushing them without extra gymnastics.
If you're right-hand dominant, combo buttons flow clockwise, otherwise vice versa (this one is a bit less grounded though)

Party support abilities on left trigger, preferably also on dpad, that way you can just hit the trigger+button again after selecting somebody on the party list.

E: Some of this is job dependent though. Red Mage you can do some cool stuff with trigger swapping/jolt clone buttons, Black Mage is going to be an utter mess come 5.0 though :negative:

Change this assignment to whatever the hell you want. "Assist Target" is good, or you can unassign it and use it as a PTT key for discord.

It's probably a fairly significant plot point. Recall that the last time we spoke to her, she jetted off to the First. There's a bunch of weird poo poo happening , at any rate, so I doubt we'll get a full picture until we can actually play it.

there's a couple instances of weirdness meant to be a kind of hook. minfilia's young, thancred looks younger again, urianger isn't wearing his treasured volcel robe, and yshtola has either taken on matoya's name or is somehow possessed by her or something

Nearly every PLD I see who is casting Clemency is one who has Excog on them. Which isn't nearly as annoying as back in 4.0/4.1 where Excog just wouldn't pop if you did that, but still.

So, GSM is super easy since 25 red scrips -> 1 blue scrip token -> 1 landmaster ring. They are ilvl 200 I think, so as long as you use the careful desynth consumables you can get a decent number of levels off them. I think one of the other accessories might be LTW, don't remember exactly, but those cost 2 tokens each.

WVR is a pain since you need armor and those are more (4-6 i think?).

The FC3 rate on Landmaster's Rings is about 45-50%, which is useful if they sell on your server.

I'm pretty sure the crafting rings are equivalent but I'd need to check.

That base rotation never changes, but you get a collection of oGCDs based off of a new resource gauge. They play really smooth at 70.
