Finally getting around to doing the new set of Tataru quests, because I needed to do the Void Ark series and have been too lazy to do them for years. This game REALLY wants to shove this elf character down my throat. Emellelioan or whatever his name is. I have felt this way every time him and Sicard have been brought up in Endwalker. The devs seem to think I care way more about this character way more than I ever have. I don't even want to say I hate him because that implies some level of passion, I feel nothing for this character. Why do the devs insist on having him show up. He's more or less the only character where I'm just like "I don't get it".

Probably because Count Edmont's VA died but they still want House Fortemps character in the game so you get this guy being a heel in every scene. I'm not too keen on him either but he's bearable

I enjoy him being there as the obvious failson who was put in a position that sounds important on paper but practically speaking minimizes the damage he can do while "saving face" for the family. His actually competent brother (Honoroit?) is the forgettable one. "Does his job" just isn't a memorable trait.

Honoroit is Emmanelain's page and it's a shame he isn't in this quest as the straight man to be honest. Emmanelain is basically a stock jackass character that everybody recognizes as a jackass and treats accordingly. He at least has made a token effort to become better since he got deservedly knocked on his rear end by Thancred, so he's kind of got a lesser Alphinaud arc going on where he's still a jackass, but one people roll their eyes at rather than getting truly angry at him.

Emmanellain isn’t necessarily a failson, he is just bad at the family business (combat), the Ishgard restoration quests show that he is actually quite competent at foreign business relations, something that until quite recently Ishgard had no need for but now does. Given that the quest deals with business and Heavensward he was bound to show up sooner or later. Spoiler Alert I wouldn’t be too surprised to see Soroban and Hancock in a future quest, so if you haven’t done the four lords trials you may want to get on that.

Emmanellain is my friend and should be in more things. He should be written as more than just a joke, though, which is all he seems to be in Endwalker. Shame.

Hellioning posted:Emmanellain is my friend and should be in more things. He's definitely the story punching bag, but he's also Tataru's go-between with the sky pirates and Ishgard's military, which honestly if Tataru trusts him to do the job we probably should too. Me calling him a "failson" was a bit too harsh. Just let him, Sicard, Soroban, and Hancock go have B-team money making adventures. I'd read it.

So how sweaty are Extremes (And the Unreals, while I am at it)? I haven't really done them since Heavensward. I know Savages are right out. Also Hail Satan.

Depends on the Extreme. I'd say not too bad but some of them are a bit obtuse and I'd suggest reading up on any of them because they have more "you can screw everyone else over" than normals do.

I have a lot of sympathy for Emmanellain as somebody who keeps being set up to fail. I had a fairly similar experience working in a large family business, where I was too important to be fired or meaningfully supervised, but not important enough to be trained for an important job, so I spent a lot of time just twisting in the wind.

Some ex fights are not bad at all, or require only a little bit of dance learning that you can just follow somebody else around and survive it. Others, like the current ex, can get very sweaty with plenty of opportunities to blow other people up if you're out of place for a moment. It's worth noting that basically every ex is a very formulaic fight that you can basically run on autopilot with an occasional binary choice to be made one you learn the whole fight. Savages are similar, just with more complex mechanics to figure out and more likely to give you decision making more involved than go to A / go to B.

the first savage floor is either a small step up or down from its associated extreme, dependent on patch. the second is often about the same, if the first was harder

this tier I think P5S is a lot harder than the trial. P6S is a bit easier than P5S mechanically, but has a tighter enrage so there's less room for error. Once everybody is rocking i620 it'll be the easiest fight of the tier imo.

There’s some variance in how exactly hard each one is but theyre all meant to be introductory to high end content. So it’s always designed to be cleared by a real wide variety of skill levels, but will still take some dedicated amount of time/effort to do so. Mechanics will be punishing but not ruinous and you can often res wide swathes of the party, the dps check exists but is extremely lenient and is more for pruning fights that have zombied into the end as a cutoff point rather than looping ad infinitum. Certain parts will feel faster and be more complex, along with having less outright guidance and sometimes requiring you to read a cast bar or a boss pose to determine safe zones. On the flip side there will always be a deterministic way to sort out positions and the level of randomness is usually pretty restrained and often role based so you’ll get used to rules/patterns just from exposure

Emmanellain mostly just makes me think of other higher nobles we've met who don't give a gently caress about their Great Houses: Caravallain, Jandelaine, and maybe Jannequinard and Stephanivien. The main difference being that they all found reasons to walk away, life goals to pursue outside of the nobility, and Emman hasn't, but he's also younger than they are. He's also still trapped by not wanting to disappoint his father. If he finds something he's actually good at and wants to do with his life, he might take off after it, and will probably be better for it.

I’ll be honest while I agree the gap between EX and the first floor of a tier is usually pretty small the only time I would say the first floor was easier than EX Fights outright was o1s, which was a notoriously easy fight for a savage. Then again lakshimi was a super easy EX so it was really just competing against susano (love Susan’s ex btw). This is discounting weird situations that arise when both get outgeared cause it has a smushing effect when that happens; it’s not really an honest comparison at that point

I try not to RP-shame aside from throwing meteors at people standing way too close to each other and staring into each others' eyes, but I can't help but roll my eyes a little at player catboys with Nunh surnames. Like, really? You're claiming to get all the sex. With that glam. Fake e: 26 Catboys Get All The Sex sounds like the title to a Fall Out Boy song.
