Nah, it makes no sense. Undraw should also go away because it’s a trap.

Ultimately, they should prolly just rework minor arcana because it’s lame.

Make it a way to throw away an unwanted card again. :colbert:

There's really no reason to throw away a card with modern astro. Even the most suboptimal card set you can get should buff a dps more than astrodyne can provide for the caster.

iirc criminal girls was a psp game so notorious for being perverse and shady that even the vita thread on this forum disavowed it

i think the premise is basically torturing criminal anime girls in hell

Zoom out and look up, you have to see the top of the enemy where the nameplate is. That's what was giving me so much trouble for the first month.

Part of the issue is you can only draw your camera back so far. For example, Bonnacon (the West LaNos S rank) and the Lyuba in Zadnor are so enormous that if you're in melee range and de-target for whatever reason, you pretty much have to back away in order to see enough of them to target again using the X button.

I think you can get them again via enmity list targeting but this is a secret art on controllers that few seem to be aware of.

I heal a lot, but I went Thaliak. Which worked out, since my go-to healer ended up being Scholar.

I honestly can't remember why I picked my patron (Azeyma). I think I assumed it was like a zodiak sign dealie (which on reflection doesn't make sense since you pick your Name Day independently).

I picked Azeyma because “keeper of the sun and goddess of inquiry” sounded cool to me! Nowadays [end of ShB onward spoilers] I wonder how many people pick Azeyma just because of the possible/implied Azem connection. I’d guess the actual reason there’s so many Azeyma worshippers is that there’s tons of cat girls.

I think you just get their title or whatever, no sick-rear end Nophica or Halone art.

The Lover seemed appropriate for me since I generally play support and wanted to go in healing, and at a glance she seemed like Mara from Elder Scrolls. Definitely seemed more fitting than The Destroyer or The Fury, but 8 years in and the healing seems to move to the latter.

I went with Azeyma for my catgirl because it made sense to me that a Seeker of the Sun would be devoted to/blessed by the goddess of the sun.

I was heartbroken when I found out that the quest where you go pray at her monument in Eastern Thanalan was trimmed from the MSQ. I understand why it got cut, and the flow of the story is better for it, but it was still disappointing.

I think it's odd that there are still shrines to most of the 12 out there, but there's basically nothing to be done with them - not even a token visit quest. It's like some inherited baggage from 1.0 lore that they couldn't get rid of, but didn't want to use outside of a rare quest for some of them.

Sometimes things are just allowed to exist in the world. They remain as a silent nod to their role in the 1.0 lead up to Dalamud’s Fall. Those who know about them know what they represent and their history, everyone else probably doesn’t even notice them.

No sense removing them and maybe one day they’ll be pertinent again. A dusty tool in the box for the writers to draw on if they ever need it.

It literally is, the last MSQ of 1.0 was you going on a pilgrimage to visit and pray to all of the shrines of the 12.

Softcore BDSM porn isn’t “very Japanese”, it’s just softcore BDSM porn. Let’s not paint a whole group with a “they culturally like porn” brush.

That said yeah from what I looked up after that tweet, it’s a very Yikes™️ RPG.

Lyna doesn’t use closed position at all, you don’t get a damage boost from her. Estinien also doesn’t use Eyes of the Dragon.

"Doesn't trust anyone else with dragon power, only himself, because he is a very special boy" is completely in-character for Estinien, though. Dude should pop Eyes as a self-buff and just not pick a partner.

It seems that most, if not all, of the sidequests (Tataru, Role, Hildibrand, Omega) will come in the 6.1x patches. Apparently the MSQ is also longer than normal for a .1 update.

The Omega sidequests are "actually quite packed," so that's something to look forward to.

They're also showing off the Duty Support System, if you want to see gameplay of it.
