It was years ago, but I thought it was pretty obvious from the MSQ that she was blind but pretending not to be. I don't remember exactly what made me think that, but it did.

Your Computer posted:IIRC it was explained during the Ivalice questline that literally everything is made up of aether, including intangible things like "thoughts" and "feelings" Well, real-world thoughts and feelings are bound by the physical characteristics that make up the brain. These same physical characteristics shared by everything in the known universe. So if the real world is entirely comprised of atoms and energy, FFXIV is made up of I guess atoms and aether. But aether is more anime, so the writers get to do cool things with it.

I can absolutely see some Garlean maniac trying to develop a device to destroy aether though it would probably be more like an evil ray.

The blind thing always confuses me because it's apparent she is, but then she has scenes looking at paintings in a cave and looking at the sky and such. It's implied she sees aether now instead of regular sight, but it's never been super clear how it works when she describes other things she sees normally that has nothing to do with aether.

FactsAreUseless posted:People who have gotten DNC to 80, what's the verdict? Kinda low damage that doesn't currently make up for the deficit with their current raid dps*, but fun as hell. Proc based, so their slow period can be a bit hmmm, but their burst window has a lot going on. Shellman posted:I don't have it at 80 but I like it when 3 dancers decide me, a Dragoon, is the perfect dance partner at the same time so please more dancers. Standard finish doesn't stack so that's not great. You get Devilment though. *Not saying they're bad by any stretch, but they're not a 100% raid slot like a lot of people were thinking.

FactsAreUseless posted:People who have gotten DNC to 80, what's the verdict? Its fun to play but probably didn't need a 7% dps hit between the media build and launch build. The biggest problem is that pugging on it is miserable since your contribution absolutely needs the other DPS in your group to be good or you're not really contributing enough (note: content right now obviously isn't hard enough for this to be a problem, but for those who care about their own performance a lot, its a downside).

There is probably also a range limitation on what she can see this way as well, or at the very least, some kind of inverse square law for detail going on.

FactsAreUseless posted:People who have gotten DNC to 80, what's the verdict? it's pretty great for learning fights since you can move and attack at the same time and get three dashes with a pretty short cooldown, there is practically zero excuse to get hit by any mechanic ever and even if you're completely out of position it's easy to just dash back to where you're supposed to be before an attack lands. I also like throwing out tiny heals and buffs but I'm sure those are sub-optimal

Your Computer posted:my perspective is a very casual one so I have no idea what sort of dps they're doing or anything, but I think it's a lot of fun! It was the class I went through ShB with and although it's very simple even at 80, it's a lot of fun to just dash around and press glowing buttons. The burst windows have a lot of button pressing, but even that is just pressing the normal buttons and weaving in feathers, and other than that I'm just kinda doing my 1-2 combo and pressing buttons as they light up. The buffs are all good so throw them out all the time. The healing is pretty much ineffectual, but it's an oGCD and free so hammer that too.

At this rate she'll be fine for however many expansions they want to run.

I've been playing SMN and SCH a bunch and I hate them so much that I seem to have flipped onto the other side of that wall, and now I like SCH despite doing way less damage and having a much harder time healing compared to WHM.

Your Computer posted:oh yeah I meant the heals, I'm obviously throwing out buffs at all times because I didn't play a dancer to not dance Unlike Red Mage you're not losing any dps by healing, so the heals are OK in my book. Shield Samba explicitly doesn't stack with the Bard or Mech version, Troubadour and Tactician I think. It will stack with stuff like Sacred Soil, Dark Missionary, Temperance, etc.
