FactsAreUseless posted:I know WHM is generally considered better than AST right now but which does everyone find more fun to play? I like the flavor of AST more but I love the weapons and outfits for WHM. I've running both at max level right now. AST is super busy and you're always hitting poo poo between your cds and cards. More fun when I'm in the mood for that, but feels less potent.

I loved this scene as well. I switched to longer hair specifically for Shadowbringers and I think it turned out well, though I don't have a great setup for taking screenshots.

Hopping on the bandwagon: Now that I've finished the MSQ I'm probably planning on levelling SMN next. How is SMN after the ShB changes?

There's probably a rhythm to settle into after you've been playing it for a while, but there's a lot of buttons to mash. Personally I don't find Egi Assaults satisfying to press; Egi damage is extremely low right now. I imagine it balances out well enough with all the other toys we have now, but it still doesn't feel great to press Egi Assault and see your pet slap an enemy for pitiful damage.

Caidin posted:Is filling your Hunting Log something you should actively pursue or is it more of an if your in the area thing? Fairly late, but Hunting Logs are pretty much something you use for quick shot of XP in between combat levequests while getting a new class to 16, at that point you can start running LDR instead. Autodrop Monteur posted:Hopping on the bandwagon: At the start of a fight you have the following oGCDs you have to weave in: Tri-Disaster, Bane (vs trash), Egi Assault 1, Egi Assault 2, Enkindle, Energy Drain/Syphon, Fester/Painflare, Devotion, Addle, Dreadwyrm Trance Basically you start double weaving and you don't stop until you're partway through Bahamut.

So my chocobo hit rank 10 and I see from googling that I need to buy Thavnairian Onion to get him to the next rank. However, those are a whopping 600k a piece on my server! Is that normal? Is that worth it? (I guess that's a personal opinion question.) Am I able to use the world visit feature to buy from other servers' auction houses? Or is the whole data center on the same AH anyway?

Alright I guess I'll bandwagon too - though poo poo I need a new computer to get fancier screenshots. MSQ spoilers below! Honestly Shadowbringers is easily my favorite expansion of the lot. Heavensward comes in second, then Stormblood. Need to figure out what to level for my DPS alt, I guess my SAM since it's already at 70.

queef anxiety posted:yeah im worried about doing this soon. spamming dungeons does not sound fun. Uh, yeah, don't spam. Do daily leveling at minimum. Beyond that, you have the other roulettes that can give a decent slice of exp, or else loot/glams/FC seals. Beyond that, beast tribes. I mean, you can totally spam dungeons but why would you.

I did really like SMN in Stormblood. From what I read here it sounds really frontloaded now and very piano-y without the payoff to match for it. I should just play around a bit myself and see if I like it. I'm just really enjoying the new MCH as is.

Haha SCH and AST  I what do people dislike about WAR? I like 5.0 SMN better than 4.0 SMN but that's a super low bar, it's still not fun to play for me. Aetherflow is the biggest issue IMO, but all the egi actions that seem to only have a tiny effect don't help. A lot of busywork for little gain.

It doesn't help that Energy Drain is a button you also need to press every 30s for optimal performance and has very low potency attached to it. I have the same issue with it as Egi Assaults. At this point I'd rather they ditched the whole aetherflow mechanic for SMNs, along with Fester/Painflare, beef up the egis to do a lot more damage and maybe give them back a third ability. With the removal of Aethertrail it no longer really fits into the cycle as cleanly and feels a bit tacked onto the "summoner" concept. Or do something to make the whole thing feel better.

WAR doesn't get much new tools really. The self healing on Steel Cyclone and Inner Beast got removed. As a replacement you get a level 76 ability that restores your health as you do damage. Its update just isn't as exciting compared to other classes and I imagine some people missing the stance dancing + big WAR HP numbers.

Ok so from around the time you fight Shiva the MSQ really picks up huh? Suddenly good voice acting, the story seems to be picking up and leading into HW, the fights get really cool and intricate. The missile spam Midgard fight was awesome, and the shiva fight when she froze the whole party then did her signature snap and the anime theme song kicked in - this game seems good guys

So I didn't take that screenshot, but I did take a really good one while I was in awe of the final story dungeon. Spoiler tags don't actually seem to hide images for me, presumably because of CSS fuckery I'm employing to make the forums not look like hot garbage, so on the off chance anyone else is doing that same poo poo I am I'm going to link the actual screenshot in question like so to be on the safe side. MSQ was a wild fuckin' ride.

A general thought about the story so far. Which I'm spoilering mostly out of courtesy even if it's mostly about how the First gets presented. I appreciate that despite being an enormous mega-apocalypse that beggars the imagination, it was clear that the people in Norvrandt didn't just sit in the ruins and feel sorry for themselves. While obviously some did, society seemed to vaguely scrape itself together; we see colorful media products intended to help teach children, Eulmore apparently was a major city until Vauthry took over and took a fat dump, etc. While perhaps the Crystarium was the nucleus of this, it seems clear that they weren't the only thing going on; people were actually attempting to live, and it seems like it took generations, and possibly literal evil magic, for people to actually fully give up rather than attempting to live.
