Emet-Selch epitomizes the FFXIV villain: Enters the story at "Who is this rear end in a top hat? What a bastard! Talks too much too. I can't wait to murder him several times over." By the end: "Goodnight, sweet prince! May you find rest and comfort in the aetherial sea!"

It also helps to know what kind of fight you're looking at e.g. high/low uptime because that can really change rankings.

I would be loath to pursue this point except in the current depths of the content drought, but it's a pretty fundamental misunderstanding of princess mononoke to call lady eboshi the villain

So I think I've worked out a pretty decent system for tackling my fishing journey. It's certainly not the most efficient, but it works for me and that's all that matters. I start by having a notepad document with a full list of every fishing hole, listed by zone. Starting at the top of the list, I punch the fishing hole name into Teamcraft. From there, I go to the fishing hole and catch every non-timer fish. Then, I pin the timer fish in Carbuncleplushy's fish tracker. At that point, I remove the fishing hole from the notepad document and move on to the next fishing hole. Whenever I can, I check Carbuncleplushy and hit fish that are in their timer. That's a very long term goal, so I'm only working on the fish that I have pinned. I'm sure I'll get the resplendent rod long long long before I get <Big Fish>, but <Big Fish> is my pre-7.0 goal, so I'm taking this at a fairly casual, chill pace. As fishing should be.

Oneiros posted:the people who get murder boners for the elementals are hilarious because they're basically real life ghibli movie villains and they seem completely unaware of it My favorite part of every Ghibli movie is when the spirit of nature tells a local doctor they can't treat a dying child. I really think you should actually look at the text as written in the game instead of hearing "entity related to trees" and just then filling in whats happening with every other bit of media you can kind of tie to it.

On the subject of Field Notes, do you have to clear every critical engagement/duel, or are there some that you can ignore? (This is all putting aside the fact that I've not yet managed to get into a duel even on the rare occasion I qualify for one)

I'm pretty sure every note that's available from a duel is available with atrocious drop rates elsewhere.

Shinjobi posted: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. To be fair, only a few of the NPCs have the typical FF player's encyclopedic knowledge of nearly-naked ice ladies. The general thread for all the primal fights (At least through Heavensward) is: Hear about a dude that is very clearly an old FF summon, do some research to discover oh poo poo it's an old legendary hero/god, welp gotta beat it up, how do we beat up a god, I know let's hit it with swords.

So today I learned that the carbuncle as a vaguely-doggish glowing thing with a gem on its head is actually mythologically accurate. I honestly didn't expect the particular region the myth came from, either.

Yeah it's this. There are some Field Notes that have a 100% drop rate from duels that have absolutely foul droprates from FATEs or CEs but you don't need to win any duels to get the bike. I should go back and try to get Sartauvoir's notes again, it's the last one I need. Has anyone been in Southern Front lately that can talk about the activity there?

I feel like I'm the only one who didn't fall in love with that character. They were well-written for sure, I don't deny that. I wanted to murder the genocidal madman right up until the moment I murdered the genocidal madman, though. I did feel bad for Zenos by the end of EW though, so maybe my tastes just run differently.

I wanted to murder the genocidal madman so much that by the time we finally did I felt like we didn't do it hard enough. Unfortunately, I feel like the game wanted so hard for us to like them that the story kinda breaks if you keep giving them the scrutiny that their history suggests you should. Pretty much everything we learn about the Ancients and their story is explicitly from Emet's perspective--a perspective of both a known twister of truths and outright liar, who has literally built empires on deceit, and whose perspective even in his own story is from the top. By all rights we shouldn't believe a lick of it, and the Scions imply that's the right idea by visiting Anamnesis to see other perspectives, but Emet and his fake Amaurot are treated as statements of fact despite that. It'd be like if our main source on Ishgard was Archbishop Thordan. I kept waiting for us to learn that he omitted some horrifying fact about Ancient life, because he absolutely would have!
