Who needs a house out in Hackensack? Is that all you get for your money?
I'm kicking myself for not submitting a Sage weapon design where it's the Wind-Up Cursor but four of them.

Ages ago I played thorugh the main plotline of ARR on my computer. Now I want to continue the game on my PS5. Do I just buy the full set with all the expansions on the PS5 and when I log in it'll be like, "oh yeah it's you" or do I need to do anything special?

You’ll have to re-set up your hotbars, options, and UI, but otherwise, yes, just log in after purchasing and adding the new copies to your service account and you’ll be fine.

Some past art contest stuff has taken years to get into the game, so temper expectations.

It was about a year between when they announced the winners of the first gear design contests and items got in the game.

Lost Allagan was announced as the tank set winner in August 2016 and was implemented in 4.05 in July 2017. The healer winner was announced in April 2017 and was in Skalla that October, but the caster set, Bonewicca, wouldn't get into Swallow's Compass until May 2018. The catsuit won in September 2018 as the melee DPS winner and was in the game by October 2019 as the Late Allagan set, and it would take until February 2020 for the ranged winner to be implemented as Neo-Ishgardian.

They made sets for every role based on the winning entry, so that probably ate up some time. For the weapons, it's two of each, but they'll probably want to get them all in at once, I would imagine, so it might take a bit to do every weapon type minus Sage and Reaper which aren't done yet, afaik. Maybe they'll wait for those contests? If they're not relics, I'd guess 6.3.

Housing stuff has been implemented every patch for a long time, though. They got so many entries for housing stuff and I think they're literally doing all of it.

Good news, Sage and Reaper weapons weren't included in the contest. They're supposed to have a separate contest for those designs at some point.

Don't ask me when "some point" is.

Hella congrats.

What is the best strategy for starting on this? I figure since my Shadowbringers project was collecting all the triple triad cards, my Endwalker project will be catching the fish.

Is there a good way to plan the attack on that? I'm sitting at 504/1140 fish for the resplendent rod and 29/204 (0/45 for ShB) toward Big Fish.

Get to know https://ff14fish.carbuncleplushy.com/ really really well. I also used https://www.lalachievements.com/ to go through my fishing log and check off what I already had but honestly CP (and its included links to Teamcraft) is all you really need.

My plan of attack was to just start on the list of zones and just go zone by zone. And catch everything I can. If the rare fish aren't up for that zone, I'd go and add it to the list and then move on to the next zone, back tracking whenever there's uptime. I'll worry about the really rare fish eventually. Just got a lot of junk fish to go through first. So I just figure I'll kinda "build" my rare list while crawling through zones. Is this a decent strategy?

I'm not trying to sprint to get this done. If I get it done before the next expansion, I'll be happy. So that gives me an 18 month goal.

You get a free phantasia for completing the 2.0 MSQ (basically after the first credits roll). It will be in-game mailed to you by the system.

For me when you get to fight shiva was the moment the game actually started to show signs of life. It still takes a while for the ecg to stabilize afterwards, but it was mostly a flatline before that

What is happening is interesting. There is still a ton of busy work though, when as soon as you hear the rumblings of Iceheart and etc it's pretty obvious where the quests will take you. The destination has never been more obvious, I am embarrassed for my supporting cast.

I'm willing to accept this. What they do with Iceheart afterwards is super cool, and the fight itself is rad, but you have to get there first, and the most interesting thing about it in the mean time is that Minfilia actually puts on some normal people clothes for a single scene.

It can be slow at times and but all that 2.0 and 2.X stuff is laying the foundation of characters, concepts, and plot that all the expansions people gush about are built on.

Yeah, the Iceheart stuff and what it's establishing all has payoff; it's not another "gather the goblin cheese"/"get some sand oops wrong sand" chain. I know it's frustrating when you know what's coming and want to get to the fight, but it's worth paying attention.

Enough of this nonsense. You are an important mayor and this absurd contraption has wasted enough of your time.
Been doing frontlines since I've been wanting to get one of my alts jobs to 90 just for low end solo clears and it's been a lot more fun than I was expecting. I figured the pvp changes would make it kinda suck with the much lower time to kill but it's still mostly fun. Really been liking Sage. Didn't think much of them back when I was grinding CC but I think they shine in frontlines. The LB in particular is lackluster in CC but completely rules on seal rock and nadaam.

I don't really have the artistic chops of many of the winning designs and I lacked any decent photo editing software at the time to just use screenshots. I could have tried harder, I suppose. It's just one of those things.

I'm still waiting for a barding design contest. I don't think they've ever done one and I just want basically the stuff on the back of the t-rex or in that adventurer kit housing item as chocobo barding.
