Treasure your first time corps-a-corpsing/displacementing directly into an AOE death too. Everyone will do it at least once.

First thing I did after unlocking RDM was trials DR into Titan where I immediately backflipped off the edge.

The spoiler thread on EW release was an endlessly cycling argument about who among the major characters and the writers were right or wrong about various actions and philosophical positions. Every time someone finished the MSQ they joined in and it went back to the start.

And the best part is that it was still 100x times better than the OF!

(Do not look into the official forums, I'm pretty sure it's an eldritch abomination in the form of a forum)

My first backflip mistake was leaping off the Atomos platform in WoD, which was really the gentlest possible option while still being really stupid

Didn't you mean to ask about flowers?
Yesterday at level 83 RDM is when I realized I should use AoE Spell + Scatter/Impact instead of exclusively using AoE Spells to raise the mana type I wanted and only using Scatter/Impact when Acceleration was up.

Tooltips should be read often, I suppose.

The worst part of doing Titan as RDM is, you will inevitably backflip off the edge of the platform.

The best part of doing Titan as RDM is, if you're paying attention, hitting Corps-a-Corps at the right time will save you from the shockwave knocking you off the platform.

See, that explains it. I took my time through Endwalker, so by the time I was done the hot takes had cooled off.

I think a few people felt real deeply betrayed by the themes and story beats in Endwalker and I also think those people have at this point moved on to their future endeavors, in which the Warrior of Light Federation wish them well.

This cycle will probably repeat itself in FFXIV 7.0: Pay Pig Panic, in which the game goes full tilt Manderville.

I will always love the cutscene in mid-3.0 where Alphinaud is like "I'll go with you to the Aery to fight Nidhogg!" and Estinien is like "you absolutely will not, you literal tiny child."

Looking through Logos, and I’m curious: is the Doom from using Sacrifice dispellable or otherwise able to be removed? Because otherwise it seems like it’s net-zero at best.

I did genuinely think Alphinaud was gonna be an early villain because he's so goddamn annoying.

Here's to the new us.
There's definitely a (worse) version of the story where ARR Alphinaud gets mad that people aren't dancing on his strings like he wants them to and becomes the boss of a level 79 trial or whatever.

Instead we got the adventures of Alphinaud, world-class swimmer so there's still some good left in this sin-cursed reality.

as a sprout, the whole "yeah my sibling peaced the gently caress out around your level 40 and no i wont talk about it yet" thing is intriguing. I'm sure it'll wrap around.

On that note I was annoyed that when i subbed this week, the login screen video did minor spoilers on that but its fine its whatever
