Bit of a specific technical question about buying the expansions.

"FINAL FANTASY® XIV: SHADOWBRINGERS expansion pack also includes FINAL FANTASY® XIV: HEAVENSWARD & FINAL FANTASY® XIV: STORMBLOOD, which will be provided at release on July 2, 2019"

If I buy Shadowbringers now would the first two expansions be added to my account immediately or would I not get them until July 2nd? In our modern age I would assume I get them right away but square's online services seem a bit antiquated and the wording of that line makes it sound like they make you wait.

It probably doesn't matter since I have the free heavensward code anyway and July 2nd isn't that far way.

The store you buy the expansion from is not directly linked to mogstation or your account, so you don't get any of the expansions until the Shadowbringers CD keys gets sent out on July 2nd.

For early access, the store gives you a different pre-order key. You then input that on the early access redemption site, which then provides you with a different key to put into Mogstation. Square's online account management is nuts.

Do you want to know what we do to artists?
I really wish you could just buy the new expansion from the Mog Station instead of having to go through a separate store and having to wait to put in the product key and all that.

People like the storyline and want to replay pivotal moments to re-experience it without having to go through the entire game again.

Some, yes. It also further incentivizes boost potions, to where folks can experience those quests at their own pace / without blocking progression in current content.

But would you do the 60 quest doldrums of the 100 quest demarcation between ARR and HW? That's the real metric here.

Unequivocally yes.

A while back they said they were looking into special 'class emotes' which would involve redoing old dungeons. I would not be entirely surprised if there's some kind of cosmetic reward for a NG+ or something.

Every FFXIV wedding I've been to/seen screenshots of has at least one person wearing Amon's Hat.

I think you technically can't have the ceremony unless you've invited someone who has and will wear the hat.

I've been to a wedding or two where I haven't see anyone wearing it.

It's kind of hard to see other hats beyond it, true :v:

I think the "The Luckiest of Lords" currently takes the cake as the most bullshit title in the game, being absurdly grindy and absurdly random. Not sure if anyone actually has it yet, but if they do they're a big dumb idiot and I pity them.

The Omega story was no more fanservice than Ivalice and the Omega story was more enjoyable

As someone who never even finished Omega and is a huge FFT fanboy, I have to say that the Ivalice stuff was really boring and I am far more attached to the character of Omega, the evil killer robot, than anyone from the Ivalice storyline.

I've skipped every cutscene I possibly can, clicked rapidly through all dialogue and play the game muted 99.9% of the time. I would do new game plus if it awarded something nice, but it definitely won't.

You should finish Omega normal at least because the story gets pretty solid right in the last couple fights. Also the fights are good.
