They had a blog with some UI QOL:

Namely an altitude indicator for quest objectives and party finder links.

Fashion is not nothing. :colbert:

But yeah, there's probably some meaningful technical limitations. I definitely do wish I could wear glasses along with my wizard hats.

good choice.

The Yoichi Bow is the perfect bow and I've yet to find anything that comes close. The other relics are neat but they're all big and shiny while the Yoichi is so cool and elegant while still having enough shine to make it stand out. I love the targeting ring thing so so much.

You'll have to take me down. I'm quite partial to the Garuda katana, it's understated compared to the other particle effect katanas.

The Garuda spear is good too. Has the same windy effect around the spearhead.

I just use some random levelling katana that looks entirely plain.

The gordian katana has the best looking sheathe and has the best dye pallete of any weapon I've seen in this game. The really dim but noticeable glow that changes with the dye makes it work with anything. Truly a gift from the gods reserved for the perfect dps class. I don't have any images right now and I'm not going to post GIS stuff, but if you're ever considering a katana glamour this is the one.

:same: whatever one that has the purple cord wrapped around the sheathe. Gordian is really good if you wanna get fancy though. Also the closest to 2Bs.

I really love the sheathe on the SB pvp katana but hot drat does the blade look dumb with the pointy car spoiler looking stuff sticking out of the top.

Different aside- Turk suits for all when SE.

The Gordian katana is very very good and is usually what I end up using unless a specific other katana just fits perfectly with a given outfit. It's also got a nice understated humming noise when you draw it.

I like the Baldur Katana. It’s nice and simple.



The one in the right.

I’m glad SAM has an actual dyeable hakama and a haori so I can replace that outfit.

As Kaubocks said: if you're looking for a big katana, you won't find that on a SAM. You gotta go DRK to get Sephiroth-sized katanas, namely the Odenta/Odenta Kai.

All the Primal katanas are pretty good. I've been using the Ramuh one.

The best katana is the one from Gubal Library. It looks like an oversized officer's sabre, so it is really cool for my cavalry officer glamour.

E: I can't take screenshots right now, but the katana in question is called Kagehide.

I'm a huge fan of the Lost Allagan Katana, and I'm not even normally into that set. I'm not 70 on my SAM yet but I want to build a glam around it.

All your friends and foes,
they thought they knew ya,
but look who's in your heart now.
Almost done with a little over a week of hardcore doggo farming, I think I had around 50 susanoo/30 lakshmi/25 byakko totems when I started. I'm just resolved to buying the susanoo mount at this point but I've got the other six, I feel like I came in slightly under average if only for the stellar luck on the Suzaku mount. (The party I was in at the time disbanded two pulls later so I didn't even have to stick around helping them keep farming more drops afterwards :v: )



As a bonus I'll now have my pick of the litter for primal weapon glams when Gunbreaker/Dancer are out :getin:

Is there any difference in pre-ordering from the Square store vs Amazon for ShB? I'm still getting payment processing errors no matter the card and they keep sending me payment error emails (tho funny enough it said they were going to cancel last night but they still haven't). No response from support on it. Presumably if I cancel / order gets cancelled my ShB pre-order stuff vanishes but then I can just get another code from Amazon?

yup, shirking will still be useful in some scenarios but a simple provoke being all you need should make pugging any fight with two tanks much easier.
