So, I missed this entirely in my playthrough, by my wife noticed something in the final two zones. The adventurous ambystoma (the axolotl from Elpis) is in Sharlayan Hamlet in the lower circle of Labyrinthos, but it shows up in Ultima Thule at Base Omicron when you need to scan for the malfunctioning Omicron. You can click on it and you get a little cutscene and everything.

Only thing I'm not crazy about (MCH AF gear) is The white shirt/bright red ascot on the chest piece. The rest of the ensemble has a real gritty feel and I think the fancy Dan aesthetic is already served well enough by the level 80 gear.

So I had weird dungeon where the Black Mage was just doing Blizzard 3 -> Paradox -> Fire 3 -> Paradox over and over with some xenoglossy tossed in. Is there any actual reason for this or was it just for fun?

Barreft posted:I've had this drat song in my head everyday since Endwalker came out The EW soundtrack is insanely good. There were a few tracks in particular I remembered from the promotional material that took a bit while to show up, and they delivered. I'm no music major or anything but it's absolutely amazing to me how Soken can turn one motif into a dozen different songs ranging from chill diner tunes to melancholic retrospections, while still managing to include homages to franchise staples and XIV themes.

which expansion was it that buffed crafter experience from quests because I just chained alchemist straight from 60 to 69 with the hw quests (never touched because I leveled it solely by moogles back in the day), namazu, custom deliveries, and the stormblood quests I qualified for e: considered grinding out the last level in ishgard resoration and seeing how far I could chain with the sb level 70 quest, crystarium, and dwarves, but I couldn't figure out where you get all the skybuilder's ingredients and decided I ddn't care enough when a day with the namazu is a full levelup or more

A small money-saving tidbit for people at 90: Centurio Seals and Allied Seals can both be converted into Aetheryte Tickets at a rate of 5 seals per. Even if you just do the weekly elite hunts, that'll get you 60 free tickets. If you set your teleport gil threshhold to something reasonable like 1.3-1.4k, that'll save you close to 80-85k gil per week on teleports if you do a lot of hopping around. It adds up!

I love my Roegadyn and always back out of race changing whenever I want to play as something else, but yeah, there's definitely drawbacks to being a dramatically different bodyshape than the one 99% of the items in the game are designed for.

I hopped around a few times but I'm back to being a big roe dude and it's the best. My favorite moment is still that scene from Stormblood with Asahi where he's trying to threaten you. Except because I'm a giant man and he's a tiny manlet he's practically breaking his neck to look up at me while trying to look menacing. I promptly started calling him an Angry Hamster because no matter how sinister he was trying to be I couldn't take him seriously when he had to look up so hard at me. As far as fashion goes there's a lot of stuff that looks awkward or stretched out on me but on the flipside a lot of the bulkier stuff like robes tend to look fantastic. Here's some of my recent glamours:

Xerophyte posted:If you're targeting a specific piece then it's also a good idea to also wait a short while after you pass on the tokens that you do not want before you need on the tokens that you do want. Letting some other rolls resolve first removes people from the pool of rolls on the stuff you want. That's basically what I do and yet some of my friends tried to argue that it's an rear end in a top hat thing to do to wait at all. For me, I don't wait more than 30 seconds after the boss dies. As soon as we hit a point when everyone has clearly finished casting lots, I roll. I pass on every piece I don't want and then wait until I see everyone else has finished rolling and then finally roll on the one item I'm seeking. By this time, usually 5-6 items have resolved.

In that case, not waiting is then a losing strategy at obtaining what you want while the person who did wait will likely get what they do. The rear end in a top hat is whoever decided turning the prisoner's dilemma into a loot system was a good idea.

Just press Need on the things you want and Pass on the things you don't as fast as you can, if you don't get anything do the fight again it's not like they're hard or boring to do.

Arist posted:I don't actually have an opinion on this but the lesson of the prisoner's dilemma is not "being an rear end in a top hat is a good idea" The prisoner's dilemma doesn't have a lesson. It's an illustrative example showing why two people might not cooperate despite it being in their best interests to do so. I'm not sure why they haven't gotten rid of the specific item drops yet and replaced them with universal tokens. They upped the number from 4 to 8 in Shadowbringers, so it at least seems the intent that people come out of it with something. Lord_Magmar posted:Just press Need on the things you want and Pass on the things you don't as fast as you can, if you don't get anything do the fight again it's not like they're hard or boring to do. It's not the difficulty for most, I'd wager. It's the time invested, since a single fight can go on for 10+ minutes.

Ironslave posted:It's not the difficulty for most, I'd wager. It's the time invested, since a single fight can go on for 10+ minutes. For me, it is that just mashing need on the item I want is just strictly inefficient. If everyone only got one "need" roll across all 8 items, I'd mash my need immediately. But people go in with different strategies. I target the items I want. Week 1, I wanted chest tokens, so I passed on everything that isn't chest tokens. Meanwhile, there are others out there that will just roll need on every item. They're just as happy with an accessory token as they are a chest token. If the chest token resolves first and they win it, then only one of us has won loot. If I hold my roll on the chest token just slightly (I'm not making people wait the full timer, I wait like 30 seconds after loot is revealed, so usually about 10-15 seconds after cutscene watchers get out of the cutscene) then the person who rolled on everything and is still happy with an accessory token gets their accessory token, and I have less (or perhaps no) competition on the chest token. "Just press Need on the things you want" only works if everyone is approaching the loot drops the same way.

Every once in a while I consider changing races from femroe (I've been thinking about it pretty recently, actually), but then I realize I'm dropping nearly 1/10th of my height and it really puts me off. Playing an extremely tall character is one of the funniest things about this game.

It is possible for literally everyone to get something every single time so it only matters if you're trying to be super-de-duper hyper optimal for gear that is going to be outdated in two weeks anyway and even then which is only relevant if you're doing Savage in the first place. Edit: And if you're doing Savage then you're probably doing it with your static anyway and can divide up the things without waiting since you've probably planned it out in advance.

Calling it the prisoner's dilemma is a joke, but this entire thing does invite game theory bullshit into it for the reasons Mordiceius mentioned. Something it was even worse about prior to Shadowbringers because it only dropped enough tokens for half the raid.
