My queue popped a few seconds into a cutscene that wound up running out the timer and I got a penalty of some kind. I couldn't find the penalty anywhere or any mention of them in in-game help. I presume it's not an issue unless I get a bunch of them or several in succession, but so I know in future, what gives?

Also it feels weird to be penalized for favoring the critically-acclaimed story (Well, I'm still in 2.X, I'm not really to the critically acclaimed part yet) instead of re-punching someone I've beat up at least twice by now.

If you do it three times in a day there is a penalty, and all of that resets tomorrow.

If you are the same class you queued for, you can join the duty pop. You will get to start the cutscene again from the beginning next time.

Otherwise, don't skip the cutscene for the duty pop if you're into that quest's storyline. You won't be able to watch it in the inn until that quest is finished. Your options at that point are to be a bit lost on the story or watch someone else do it on YouTube.

For future reference if you accept a queue mid cutscene you'll be sent back to before the cutscene when you finish, so you won't miss anything. This only becomes and issue if you're viewing the cutscene as a different job as you can't switch jobs mid cutscene, so then you so need to decide between a cutscene skip and a queue penalty.

The correct answer is always queue penalty.

Realistically you are never gonna get 3 queue penalties built up unless you are doing it deliberately, which is the exact reason the system is how it is - to prevent that.

It's also an issue if the cutscene triggers from talking to an area-entry npc/object, such as entering the waking sands, as then your character is "occupied" and the game won't let you confirm the duty finder prompt.

I always just skip the cut scene and look it up on YouTube later if I'm on a dps job. The queue times are long enough that if I'm focusing on story I'll almost certainly be in another cut scene the next time it pops

He's such a dipshit. I used to recommend the Ul'dah city start but honestly it makes every faction there look so bad it kind of ruins the game when you have to take them seriously/find them sympathetic later on.

His tantrum at Carteneau in the Echo flashback sums him up as a leader.

Being hoisted by your manservant is a power move that Gaius uses later on with Ultima Weapon.

The bit to crack up about is Nanamo telling the masses that "those who measure wealth in carats and coins are greatly deceived" when she's sat there all blinged out, and the entire monarchist crisis of the Ul'dah start was that someone stole some of her jewellery and they feel like that delegitimises her position.

Apart from Momodi and maybe the Goldsmith guild leader no one in Ul'dah is worth a drat.

The expansion, as in I beat grandpa hades and saw the first set of credits. I'll check that out next, I tend to play at odd hours so I've left a bunch of blue quests (which I've learned usually lead to dungeons and such) around in general that I need to get around to checking out. Although I still have to get around to leveling botanist/miner so I'm not relying on fisher for maps of course. Plus I've been meaning to check out black mage since after getting to test drive it in the role quest it seems interesting. Plus the couple dozen side quests I ignored. Plus leveling astro and dark knight when I get the chance.

So, you know. Soon.

Hot take possibly but I'm looking forward to it because the downtime bits of the story are consistently some of the best content flavor-wise. The rewards are rear end most of the time but this game has some surprisingly good stories hidden behind the most unassuming side quests.

I do recommend speaking to F’lahminn in Mor Dhona if you haven’t. The quest doesn’t have much of a tangible rewards but it does a nice job providing closure on a story element that kinda bugged me before.

You think you have the wherewithal to figure out my puzzle vagina?
I'm still a sprout myself, but I'm in that funny in-between area where the real sprouts see me as someone who knows what she's doing. It's like I'm in my early 20s again! Anyways, I spent like 100k buying Hedgehoglets on the market board to give to sprouts. They're dirt-cheap right now because of the event but still rare enough that a new player isn't likely to get a legitimate opportunity to grab one (or even think to) for a long time. Plus, hedgehogs are adorable.

Realistically, most of them will probably still be F2P and unable to trade and the things will sit in my saddlebags for months, but y'know.

they establish that the threat of primal summonings isn't completely taken care of and that neither the grand companies nor the scions alone are going to be able to handle them in perpetuity, which is part of the impetus for forming the Crystal Braves

I think (re)doing Titan (Hard) is part of the MSQ later on (HW or StB postgae?) so you have to go through the series unlocking them all before those plot characters move around.

HW post-game, and it finally contextualizes Titan's lines during the hard fight, because it was summoned by the grief of a baby kobold mourning its dead parents.

Also, it unlocks coils and everyone should get a 90 friend to run them through Coils.

Minor spoiler for how that fight works: ARR Titan Hard would normally have the same voice lines as Titan Normal, but the lines change based on whether anyone has queued in with the Ga Bu quest active, which will change Titan's lines for everybody. If you're seeing Titan speak as Ga Bu doing the regular ARR clear, you've gotten slightly unstuck in time because someone in your group needed it for post-HW and the devs just tied both quests to the same trial for queue management reasons.

Use the quick launcher and get the burning down the house plugin. I think it might not be in the default plugin list you might have to google a link for it to download, but it works very well.
