For real though for me at least Revenge Twofold, Triumph, Indomitable, and Finality are all really close in terms of how good they are.

On Blade's Edge goes hard, but props to Revenge Twofold for making fighting a boss called "Lava Scorpion" seem like the most bad rear end struggle in the universe

That boss cracked me up the first time I fought him because he's such a little guy. Towards the end of the fight he charges up a move called REALM SHAKER where he hops in place and there's a little poof of dust

SE actually recently put up a YT channel with shittons of music from their games, including the Final Fantasies, its got everything from FFXIV up to Shadowbringers (but not the 5.1-5.5 Album "Death Unto Dawn" or the Endwalker album). Only problem is all the track names are in Japanese.

I'm a bit puzzled why they selected Sastasha as FFXIV's representation in Stranger of Paradise, because it's not iconic in the same way Crystal Tower, Figaro Castle or the Mako Reactor are for their respective games. Should have gone with something like Binding Coils or the Vault or Amarout imo.

Satasha is the first dungeon in the game and thus not really a spoiler and something people who just played a tiny bit of the game would be familiar with.

Each area matches one in FF1. Satasha is one of like two areas in a FF game focused around pirates.

Sastasha gives them a pirate cave filled with luminescent coral to play in. It's a decently unique visual theme as Final Fantasy caves go, even if it's not XIV's most iconic setpiece.

I just managed to convince my best friend to try out the trial but his laptop has integrated graphics so it was running at sub 20 FPS and heating up like crazy.

Maybe it was a good thing though, since he made a male Highlander cosplaying an Eurovision candidate and started shouting "WHY ARE YOU SO AFRAID OF BOOBS" on Limsa.

I absolutely love that effort post and that you landed on similar work arounds/solutions that I did with the error. I experienced the 11000002 error for the first time back when I first upgraded from an NVIDIA 980 to an NVIDIA 1080 Ti (factory overclocked by Gigabyte) and got around it (for the most part) by underclocking the card by exactly 212 Mhz so it would match factory stock clock speeds. I would still get the occasional crash but they were extremely rare after applying the underclock. Upgrading to an NVIDIA 3080 stopped the crash from happening entirely and its been smooth sailing since.

There was also a brief period in time between the 1080 Ti and 3080 where I was rolling with a Titan V and it turns out that card actually made the problem worse. Then the watercooling loop I was using to cool it died in the middle of gameplay, the card cooked itself and it was back to the 1080 Ti. :shepface:

Yeah, it feels like the Nier stuff might cleave a little too closely to the source. It's fun to do, but there's a LOT of story going on between raids and the fights themselves are a bit of a chore. Fun, and I prefer "too much to do" to too little as long as nothing raid-wipes like original Orbonne, but I feel knackered after a run.

Fun as heck though, and in terms of adapting Nier bosses to a raid setup they did a great job. I look forward to seeing how they build on that sort of design in the upcoming Endwalker raids.
