The Ascians wanted for Thordan to become God Pope to cause a Calamity since that's what they want. The Garleans just wanted Allagan poo poo because that has never gone wrong for them, ever. Nidhogg is mad his sister was murdered.

FF14: I have now completed all the 1-30 story arcs for the base classes and I'm working on getting all my jobs. Which means it's the perfect time for another.... Rarity Ranking!  Story 1. Rogue - my found family, V'kebbe is bae 2. Arcanist - K'lyhia is also bae 3. Thaumaturge - the Cocos are heroes 4. Gladiator - Love Island: Eorzea 5. Pugilist - Rurukuta came good and even Hamon turned out ok 6. Archer - Leih shoulda just run off with Pawah 7. Conjurer - Sylvie was ok I guess 8. Lancer - #Justice4Foulques 9. Marauder - zzzzzzzzzzzzzz Gameplay 1. Archer - so mobile, tons of variety, really engaging 2. Arcanist - love the high burst damage 3. Pugilist - flitting from form to form is cool 4. Marauder - big beefy hits 5. Lancer - slightly more than a repetitive 3-hit combo 6. Rogue - a repetitive 3-hit combo but at least you look cool 7. Gladiator - a repetitive 3-hit combo but you're just a dork 8. Conjurer - one day I will get more than one attack spell... one day... 9. Thaumaturge - turns out I hosed up by removing Fire/Blizzard I from my action bars, oops

Rarity posted:9. Thaumaturge - turns out I hosed up by removing Fire/Blizzard I from my action bars, oops lol yep What's fun is that for most jobs, getting the II or III versions of spells are direct upgrades that outright replace previous spells, but not for Thaumaturge/Black Mage (or Conjurer/White Mage, where Cure III is not a replacement for Cure II). So it can be a little confusing. In general if the game lets you keep a spell, it's going to stay relevant. Again not strictly always (there's basically no use for Cure I after you get Cure II) but almost always. When Red Mage upgrades Jolt to Jolt II, Jolt II just outright replaces Jolt because you never need Jolt again. With Thaumaturge/Black Mage, you keep your lower-level spells, which means that they're all still integral parts of your kit.

Looking forward to Rogue either shooting to the top or plummeting to the bottom of that second list

GiantRockFromSpace posted:Thaumaturge is also the job whose rotation changes the most along levelling so it can be a mess. Yeah, that too. After 50 it goes through a pretty major shift every 10 levels or so. Well, 80 to 90 isn't that wild of a shift and feels more like smoothing out the 80 rotation, but yeah. Relax Or DIE posted:lol, lmao Well, she will, it's just... gonna be a bit.

I really didn't click with Black Mage in FFXIV until fairly recently. I used to be an all-caster all-the-time player in MMOs but while one of my favorite jobs is a caster (Red Mage) my main is a tank somehow (Gunbreaker). I decided I wanted to level every job to max in Endwalker and while I'm still fairly far from that, I did level Black Mage, and I hated it for a while until it finally clicked and I started to feel like a goddamn wizard. It does such a good job making you play like an irresponsible, power-mad sorcerer, taking risks for just a little more damage, just one more cast, and then when you get good at it you become even more wizardly as you start zipping around because walking is for mortals.

At least Bloodstained is holding up in terms of exploration and having things to do, the game is also a bit more challenging to me than Symphony or the GBAvanias, but that just might be the lack of good feedback on hits and my lack of time with the systems. I can't believe Iga didn't just say gently caress it and make Gebel Nosferatu tho

considering getting xenoblade chronicles 3, do you have to have played 1 and 2 to understand things or is it standalone?

I played trough FF7R Intergrade today and it was enjoyable for the most part. Yuffie's fighting style was fun and I beat that guy from Breaking Bad in Fort Condor. However, the two new characters that were introduced towards the end, Weiss and Nero were so extremely Kingdom Hearts it makes me a bit worried about the possible direction of the story.

Yeah, Weiss and Nero are just old Compilation characters brought back in the VR battles for fanservice.

The inclusion of Weiss and Nero in the FF7R series is one of the things that's kind of sending up "oh no the rest of this is going to be a trainwreck, isn't it" flags for me But there ain't no getting offa this train we're on, so here we go

Yeah, the music owned. I thought the music in the main game played it a bit safe, then the DLC hits you with some crazy jazz beat for its fight music. Good stuff.

Playing more of Dual Destinies, on trial day 1 of Turnabout Academy. Just revealed that Robin Newman is actually a woman who was raised by her parents as male and is just using a body brace to pass as a man and uhhh this whole thing feels absolutely awful

Oh, Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime is also a solid co-op game, though it's better with 4 people.
