Anybody who's fantasia'd into a man bun and liking it? I've messed around a bit in the character creator but I haven't found a design that really grabbed me, and I'm apprehensive about potential hat impairment.
bunny boys look best if you make them look like bad boys from a romance anime i think. like someone that'd try to steal sailor moon from tuxedo mask. thats the design inspiration you should be taking.

I imagine that a lot of 'hype for the story don't care about anything else much' players like me are pretty much done until more content drops but I dunno what percentage of players that accounts for.

If you're done the story there's less pressure for the game to take up your entire day, especially because of how the queue made it consume most of your day in the first place.

There's two big spikes coming:

1) Christmas.
2) When Squeenix says the queue issues are over and reopens the flood gates, ironically that will lead to longer queues as people try and get back in and such.

That said, I'd expect it to be over by January.

Post-game rewards question: Argos seems to haul rear end across Mor Dhona. Is he bugged or something? Did they increase flight speed in the old world ARR zones?


Flight in ARR zones is at max mount speed. Its similar in SB areas. In ShB and EW zones, though, terrestrial mounts stay at 1 star vs 2 star and flight is at the base speed instead of the fast speed.

Morning queues haven't been that bad the past week or so, but I've been surprised when I find queues ~200 when I get home from work at 3pm this week. Things are somewhat calming down it seems.

From the people I know, mostly for roleplaying purposes. Chugging fantasias and name changes can get expensive.

because you can't have a different race/hairstyle per-class and I wanted a monk with a pompadour and a black mage that can actually wear hats

my main is a viera, and they don't get pompadours OR hats!!!

also they're on a different DC anyways

Go fly in any ARR zone and then go fly in any EW zone. You have deliberately faster mount speed in the former.

Similarly you can get two star terrestrial movement by purchasing maps in ARR-SB zones but not in ShB and EW. You can view your land mount speed under travel-mount speed.

I have the motorcycle and people in EW seem to fly faster than I drive, from what I’ve noticed.

The riding maps in ShB-EW come from doing FATEs, and the only one you can get is equivalent to the two-star movement in StB and earlier. Flight has always been slightly faster than two-star movement, ARR maps are just tiny so you feel faster when flying.

You can buy riding maps in ShB and EW zones for bicolor gems when the zone hits rank 2

Riding maps only take you to 1 star mount speed for those zones, but yeah I'm pretty sure flying is faster than 1 star speed in ShB and EW zones.

I have always heard that flight speed is unaffected by riding maps. I can't test this supposed faster flight speed right now but I never noticed such a phenomenon before.

You can just be heading the same way as someone on a different mode of transport, which is how I learned that flight > motorcycle in EW zone 5 at least.

Sadly not. I say hi to my buddy Festus every once in a while to see if he ever has anything new to say, and they never update him. Seems like an oversight.

You can trade in white scrip for the level 80 landsaint gear. It works just fine for doing Studium quests and gathering leves all the way up to 90.

I'm doing the level 87 melee role quest and got up to the part where the Company of Heroes gets back together. The song that's playing is very very cool and I can't recall hearing it before? If anybody knows what track this is I'd really appreciate some info on it.

You don't fly faster in ARR zones it's just that ARR are tiny tiny little hallways that were designed for the normal run speed and not the massive open air nightmare fields laters zones are so it feels faster.

Seriously I think you can fit all the La Noscea maps into the Sea of Clouds zone.
