That was the turning point for me as well, it's loving spectacular.

Ciaphas posted:Heh. I'd already gotten the impression that they weren't able to actually use all the power they'd ginned up, but I didn't realize they'd essentially hosed themselves with Magical Climate Change The Allagans had green energy. The crystal tower is canonically a giant solar panel  .But then they created Dalamud to harness the power of darkness, because the crystal tower's energy on its own wasn't enough to fuel Emperor Xande's ambitions to conquer the world, and the calamity was caused when Xande tried to put down an Allagan anti-war rebellion, and in doing so beamed down more power down from Dalamud than the tower could handle at once. This is all in the Crystal Tower raids in ARR.

You’re never going to find out what happened to the Allagan in the main story because we already found out in CT back in 2.xx Next weekend! I’ve been convincing friends to go through old raids on the weekends. ...although we’ll finish that pretty quickly since I didn’t start Stormblood yet (Also I really love FFT so that’s killing me)

I must not have been paying as much attention in Shadowbringers to when in the beginning they explained how the flood so drastically changed Norvandt, including causing cities to be submerged, and the land to become less fertile Can anyone give me an explanation again?

The kingdom of Voeburt, for instance, got flooded because the Light drove the Fuath out of their old homes, and the Fuath are right bastards.

This manifested as a flood of umbral light, because "light" in this sense is passivity and stagnation.

Its an easy craft, ask someone if you're in a FC. You just gotta get one of the mats for it from a dungeon if that's not on the MB either.

Going back through the final dungeon of the original ARR and having to watch the cutscenes for duty roulette sure shows how much the game has improved Dear god Gaius’s VA in the original is so bad, and the dialog so cheesy

The worst of the old VA's is, and will always be, Minfillia. Dear god I don't think voice acting has actively made me dislike a character before. Thancred, nooooooooo.

At least Raubahn calmed down somewhat. Guy used to sound like he took up being a Gladiator because he couldn't get hired with his Bachelor's in Dramatic Arts but he was determined to use his skills anyway no matter what the circumstances.

IIRC the studio they switched to was the same studio doing the VA for all the Ishgard stuff in 2.x so Aymeric and co. still sound the same.

They didn't just change studio, they changed country too. They moved the dub to the UK so they had to change the cast out entirely, most if not all of the actors are British now. Fun fact: due to how small the actor pool in the UK is, most of the cast have done TV, movies and theatre work. I think Shadowbringers has at least three people who were in Game of Thrones Veotax fucked around with this message at 20:42 on Sep 1, 2019 |

Nessus posted:They changed studios so I believe it's a complete re-cast for the voiced NPCs, yeah. There was also a tragedy with Yugiri's actress at some point, which is a lot of why she just totally disappears in Heavensward despite being alive and not otherwise engaged. This isn't true at all, they didn't' change the story one bit. They don't record the patches every three months, I'm pretty sure, for example, all the dialogue for the rest of the 5.0 series is in the can already. They are not going to rewrite the plot because a dub actor can no longer perform. Stormblood spoilers Its also not true that Yugiri was originally going to die in Stormblood, but due to the murder they rewrote it. this is another rumor that they've directly debunked.

I went back to rewatch certain 3.x cutscenes and Joe Dempsie (Ar(d)bert)'s voice acting was fantastic back then too We did everything right, everything that was asked of us, and still, still it came to this!

  Speaking of the Astro quest chain, I feel like Leveva has the most Fire Emblemish design I've seen in this game so far. It's the pink twintails that give me that impression, I think.

So I just had my first ever abandoned trial. This group kept failing against Titania. I don't think I was doing anything wrong...a bunch of people died during the big trees section (but not during the end DPS check part, people just gradually died in the process of fighting the trees which then caused the last handful to die from the DPS check). I don't think I was loving up, though I wasn't paying attention to what other people were doing.

What happened to the VA was terrible, but SE isn't going to suddenly remove a character from the story because one of the VAs for her died. They routinely leave out major characters for long periods of time anyway, so it's not anything unusual.

I finally got to what I'm pretty sure is the final boss. The dungeon leading up to it was... quite something. I had to stop before actually doing the final boss, though, because it was not a good idea to play this portion of the game when my mood was in the pits. My WoL has one of the youngest faces, so it was super uncomfortable to watch him have those sin eater related strokes and looking scared out of his mind. Puking his guts out or whatever towards the end was too much, I couldn't properly enjoy the rest of the scene, not even when Ardbert showed up to save the day and the title screen theme kicked in. I'll re-watch it later, probably, so I can give the direction, voice acting, expressions and sound effects the attention they deserve.That said, is it still hip and cool to post The Screenshot?

Oh I’m aware I need to beat stormblood to do Ivalice. Just I really want to see Ivalice but I’m a bit burned out on the msq at the moment so it might take a while. I’ve also taken to leveling GNB and BRD sort of side by side to break it up as well. I kind of like tanking, but I hate the party following you to see where to go next. I have no idea guys i used to just follow the tank. I also made a CNJ which is like level 5. How do I level this dumb thing
