super-redguy posted:Job trainers in EW: There's a cutscene where the DRK 50-60 gang cameo, next to a cutscene where the RDM trainer shows up. That's pretty neat. When should we be looking out for them? Also curious about RDM because that was my magic class for ShB before I picked up New Summoner and started leveling the heck out of it. Oneiros posted:i mean, the og dark trainer doesn't actually exist and everyone would rather forget that pld existed at all Yeah, I should have clarified that I meant Sidurgu and... whatever the kid's name is. idk, i'm not actually DRK I just know all the info secondhand. Also having leveled PLD through HW I agree with that last statement.

In this case I absolutely cannot fathom how anyone would be able to do it without a guide so I'll second the fear and admiration. To show my thought process: Towards wisdom aspiring, a keeper doth gaze, By young minds inquiring and new trails blazed. Yet the mind is a muscle, in rest it doth grow, So let all embrace slumber, the better to know. For this one, Thaliak is repeatedly mentioned as a keeper of wisdom, and the last three lines are about a student and how sleeping's good for you. So, I ran around the harbor near Thaliak's statue looking for a sleeping or tired student. When I didn't find anyone, I checked out the cliffs that overlook the harbor, towards the statue. When I found the tired student, I tried talking to them and there was a very conspicuous daze in the description, which /daze is stuck in my mind because FFXIV doesn't have a /sleep and I keep trying to use it. By life ever-flowing, a keeper doth wait, Clutching a prize, his hunger to sate. Yet no prize is so coveted as one golden-hued, The mention of which is never thought rude. "Flowing life" is often used to refer to rivers, because clean water is insanely important for civilization. There's two rivers in Old Sharlayan, so I just wandered up and down the banks looking for anything that stood out. I'll admit I didn't see anything and did the third objective first. Blessed by the nymphai, a keeper doth stand, Enthralled in a tale, a book in his hand. Yet evocative as letters on parchment may be, 'Tis words said and heard which impel destiny. I had no idea where to start for this one, since I didn't know what they meant by "nymphai." Before looking up what that could mean, I decided to check the location names on the map since they've referenced them in the past. Sure enough, there's "The Nymphaeum" sitting there, so I walked around looking for someone holding a book. Expecting I'd have to put something in /say since "words said and heard impel destiny," I tried talking to them for another hint on what to do, but nope, that was all that needed to be done. So I went back to the rivers and noticed the nutkin. Remembering they're almost always shown holding an acorn, I tried talking to them. With no extra hints from that, and already remembering /say from the third clue that didn't use it, I decided to try various things, like gold, golden, acorn, nut and so on, but nothing worked so I eventually looked it up and felt a bit silly. Oneiros posted:i mean, the og dark trainer doesn't actually exist and everyone would rather forget that pld existed at all Yeah, but I wanted the GLD trainers to show up.

Also regarding trainer cameos, SAM and RGE get representation at the very start in the cutscene where you're first getting in the ship to Old Sharlayan. The main SAM character walks right by the RGE antagonist that's a captain of the Yellowjackets.

Endwalker Job Trainers: I was REALLY hoping for some BLU representation, maybe seeing Martyn show up somewhere. But I think the closes thing to BLU reps were that Zinberk and his dad showing up in the cutscene with Nanamo in Uldah.

I just felt a little disappointed with the reward, even if I understand why it was displayed the way it was.

WrightOfWay posted:I think with bosses that auto center it can still be a good idea to move them back manually because the boss suddenly teleporting a long way will lose more uptime than manual movement. But obviously this depends on how far the boss needs to move and how long you have before it auto centers. I'm also generally a proponent of leaving the boss whatever direction they're facing instead of facing them north unless you have a good reason not to. But some people seem to really struggle with boss relative positioning for mechanics somehow and it's easier to just take the path of least resistance in PF sometimes even when it's not ideal. It seems to be the people who turn their camera to be facing the same way every time, vs the people who just let it fly around wherever it wants If your camera positioning is consistent relative to the boss (which tends to be true for melees who need to hit positionals, at least), boss-relative is much easier because, to you, it's the same thing every time. If you don't fix the camera after every mechanic, using waymarks as an absolute position is going to be easier becase, in your world, that's what it means to be the same thing every time. IT's all very frustrating when your party is split down the middle on which is easier for them

It's worth noting that the yields on crafting material ventures, especially for lower-level stuff, got buffs with the removal of HQ materials. The new potions require lavender from level 80 nodes? My level 90 botanist retainer gets them 50 at a time now. Nice way to stock up while I'm doing roulettes or whatever.

I did manage to solve most of the Sharlayan treasure hunt puzzle on my own. The only part I didn't figure out on my own was the /say golden acorn part; that one I got by watching another player run up and do it while I was experimenting with various emotes at the nutkin. Everything else I got on my own though, including figuring out where the third guy would be because I had talked to an NPC in that area back around when I first arrived in Old Sharlayan, and knew that those fountains were dedicated to the water spirits the poem mentioned.

FuturePastNow posted:Isn't ultima thule also the closest you can get to "final fantasy" in Latin? While I can't answer that question since I don't understand Latin, I do understand Japanese and the Japanese name for the lvl 90 dungeon is literally 【最終幻想 レムナント】 or Saishuu Gensou Remunanto which if you wanted to could be translated as "Final Fantasy: Remnant(s)". By the looks of it 最終幻想 or 最终幻想 is even the official Chinese name of the series. Kanfy fucked around with this message at 20:47 on Dec 28, 2021 |

I think it's the closest you get to "Final Fantasy" in Latin while also preserving the Greek/Roman conception of "Ultima Thule" as the furthest place out in (known) existence, as well as being a general term for something impossible or remote.

I don't know the Reaper rotation very well but wouldn't you just keep your debuff lined up with Soul Slice / Scythe and use that timer to keep track in your head? It goes up to a max of 60s so it seems like you can kind of just re-up it whenever it's vaguely convenient even if there's like 15s left on the effect
