It's probably too soon to ask, but does anyone have some nice gunbreaker ability layouts? Hotbars that is.

Someone in FC chat compared what they'd seen of the story to Yoko Taro a few hours ago, and I kinda side-eyed that because I didn't think it was a descriptor to throw around so lightly.

I, uh, was wrong about that. There's a sequence in here straight out of one of the endings of Drakengard.

Not only was it incredibly effective but just holy poo poo at the direction and animation of cutscenes in this thing. That scene right there puts entire other games to shame, including FFXV

GOTTA GO FIST
Too terrified to come even close to looking at black bars. Having a ton of fun so far. Just wanna type this up now so I can revisit it in 2 years and see what's changed.

Expansion Goals:

- Clear my first raid tier.
- Get better at taking screenshots.
- Get closer to having every class at cap.
- Learn Gunbreaker well enough to consider changing mains.
- Come to terms with the fact that as I grow older and my life grows more complex, I'll probably have less time to play video games. Video gaming will always be my hobby and one of my passions, but I can't deny that I have a lot of changes planned in the next year and may not always have the time to raid and farm tomestones for hours on end every day.
- Change my hair to something better than Rainmaker.

So I know the current tanks have heavy armor, but gun blades shop at hot topic. Do they have a new type of armor aside from aiming, striking, fending, etc.? I'm new. No level 70s or anything so I'm just curious how this works. Dancers wear bars armor right? Aiming?

They wear the same gear as the other tanks, though the set you get from the coffer for unlocking the job looks like an edgier squall.

there's no new armor type which is a shame especially for dancer, since roughly 0% of bard or machinist armor looks good on them. I have a feeling 90% of all dancers are gonna be wearing the thavnairian clothes or dancer relic armor :sigh:

New MCH is :krad:. It's gonna take some time to readjust thanks to muscle memory but so far I'm really liking it.

They've successfully uncoupled the rigid Wildfire/Overheat rotation from your abilities and your damage output, so you really only have to be concerned with making sure you have 50+ heat in the tank before you WF, and then seeing how fast you can mash Heat Blast or Auto Crossbow. It'll also be important to make sure your charged shots and your tools are always on cooldown so you're using them as often as possible and you can benefit from HB's additional recharging effect. Then you do your 1-2-3 while everything else is on cooldown, and summon the Rook at 100 battery.

And man oh man, I love being able to use Spread Shot for free now. Rip in peace, TP.

Also I like how I'm not even out of the level 70 quests (finished the second of the split zones, partway through the first), and two NPCs have already been brutally murdered.

Yeah, it sure is the most FFXIV it's ever been.

Also it can not be stressed enough how rad the song Shadowbringers is and how profoundly hype the point they took for the intro screen is. It's like we start 3/4ths of the way into our traditional "Let's loving go!" death march to victory.

My first feeling so far is They've done a really effective job in making Sin Eaters feel terrifying. Not just That Scene but even in the first dungeon you just seem them swooping down and cocooning anything they find, from which emerges horrible distorted broken versions of them seeking only to devour flesh and souls. Even if they don't kill you they can infect you. They're basically uberzombies

If we were gambling it's what I'd put my money on. Happened with Stormblood, has been happening with WoW, I'm anticipating it now. At a point where I assume major expansion releases will be accompanied by DDoS attacks.

Thinking of running story dungeons with trusts first time around just to see the NPCs, and to avoid any and all queue issues.
