Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.

i started a new character on brunhyldr. that xp bonus is a bit nuts, i got to level 20 after a few hours of play. pretty fun so far, just playing a lancer at the moment. It doesn't seem like the xp bonus from the hall of the novice quest line works with the server bonus. at least it doesn't for quests.

anyway, gonna try to get to 30 and try out dragoon before leveling something else i guess. any tips anyone can throw me? i'm finding it odd that so much of the UI/systems are still locked off for me like duty finder and others.

I rolled on Brynhildr like 6 years ago because it was preferred, and it's still preferred. I find that funny.

About to hit level 50, so I finally purchased Shadowbringers. Something tells me I have a looong ways to go before I reach its content though.

You have a very long but very fun journey ahead. The 2.X quests can be a bit tedious but end on a very high note and then HW is the second best expansion after the newest one.

Definitely looking forward to when the MSQ get interesting. Just took a quick glance at a list of all quests up through Shadowbringers and holy poo poo yeah I've got a long way to go!

if the duty finder isn't unlocked then you haven't unlocked any dungeons. do the msq

What's the classic FF song they play over the some of the ending scenes? "Eternal Wind" from FF3? I can't quite place it but it's an NES song.

Eternal Wind from FF3 does, in fact, play rather prominently in this expansion.

Ah, I had it. I thought there were further developments and am bad at checking titles (b/c Annihilator is perfect).

I'm pretty happy with how each Scion was developed through HW. Fighting the dragons etc. was very cool, but the development of your buddies makes the whole narrative have a nice warm fuzzy feeling sprinkled throughout. It's really well plotted relative to basically every other MMO. It's also pretty deep as far as FF games.

I’m a scrub because I’m on PS4 and taking screenshots at the exact right moment is hard! I could edit a video but that’s way to much work.

If you haven't already, change the system's sharing settings so that tapping Share immediately takes a screenshot instead of bringing up the share menu

I have no idea why this isn't default

Clicking the share button takes a screenshot immediately and clips the last 15 minutes of video, you then have the option of saving the screenshot and/or the video.

I'm kinda wondering how many people arguing for the last few pages did the post-story dungeon in the Academia, cause that sorta painted the Amaurotians as a bunch of gently caress-ups too that could have definitely caused their own doom. Also Lahabrea's a goddamned nerd!

Well that's not quite as bad, just..clunky with the menu coming up I guess. Tap for screenshot/hold for DVR/double tap to start-stop recording is much better imho

So uh, not even to HW yet but the Domans have shown up, and I gotta ask, is there anything that connects this Doma with FF6 or is it just a straight up reuse of the name?

While it's not literally the same Doma, its story has strong similarities and is a major focus of the Stormblood expansion.

Lots of things, though it's more noticeable once you get to SB. There'll be a subtle references to Cyan in SB too that's not obvious mostly cause they use the Japanese pronunciation of his name

I thought for sure his dad was gonna be revealed to be a version of Cyan, and Cyan mistakenly thought Hien and Hien's mom were killed by Garleans, spurring him to rebel and Yotsuyu takes his place because of a failed rebellion or something.

I thought I had it allllll figured out.

e: Because in FF6, Cyan was certainly going to die without the intervention of other FF6 characters.

He is. Cyan's original name in the Japanese was "Cayenne" (like the pepper), which is occasionally rendered as "Kaien."
