I love tropes. Tropes rule

Is your refrigerator running?
Tropes are just another product of the human brain's desire to sort things into little piles and pattern recognition. Nothing inherently bad about using some if they work for what you want to write

Zero is in the tough spot of the writers having to be sure she hits with the crowd prior to 7.0 if she is gonna be our first totally new Not-Scion. Some tropes help get her general stuff across before diving into the nuance and being sure people actually like her being around before she's cemented into the cast.

Waiting 115mins+ as a tank for Royal City of Rabanastre to unlock Bozjan for a glamor weapon. There must be a better way YoshiP!

Queues for alliance raids are usually much better on DPS as there's 15 slots for DPS vs 3 for tanks. Your prior posts only mention Gunbreaker so I don't know what other jobs you have leveled, but if you don't have anything else at 70+ you can unlock Reaper which starts at 70 already so you can hop into the Ivalice raids with it.

I only do alliance raids as DPS but I don't think I've ever waited more than 15 minutes for one. Usually it's less than 10.

I get 30+ minute queues pretty much every time unless it's Aglaia. Presumably ct raids would also be near instant but I never queue for them or ADR, it's always a specific cool raid for cat book. Last week I was in queue for paradigms breach for 90 minutes.

Yeaaaaaah. I think we're going to discover something horrible in Zero's backstory. Her half-voidsent origin is too similar to Vauthry. And before she tells you about the Contramemoria and the fall of the 13th to darkness, she gives an odd disclaimer: "While I remember some few tales of the past, I cannot speak to their authenticity." It's awfully convenient that she spent thousands of years trapped in a rift between worlds, too.

I'm honestly surprised and kinda disappointed that the Moogle Treasure Trove doesn't have any hairstyles to get since they were my main priority when they start. So I might just get what I need which is the Falcon mount and probably the emotes.

Sheesh, I "need" 233 tomes this time, not counting the neck.

A lot of those are ones I happen to need to do for ARR relic so I took some notes:
Quarn --3: 14 minutes
Dzemael --3: 14 minutes
Halatali (Hard) --4: 12 minutes

Big Bridge --2: 3 minutes

...I was going to see how long it took to do Frontline, but that seems pretty definitive. If you aren't BLU blitzing and can stand the repetition (I go crosseyed after about three runs that fast and prefer to vary things), do the trials.

This is a secret crossover promotion for the Stranger of Paradise DLC, in that we’re going to beat Greg over and over until loot falls out.

To a certain extent being cold and without much personality is kind of Zero’s entire thing because she has literally had everything driven out of her and she’s just now learning to, like, live.

Then again I also liked Minfillia so that may say something about me.

I also think that judging Zero's personality when she's had one whole patch of existence is a little early.

Ignore my posts!
I'm aggressively wrong about everything!
I think it's a little more reasonable to judge her here because, with this game, usually someone who's been around for one patch is a villain who's gotten like two scenes and is usually hiding something. Zero was like, the protagonist of 6.2, and is remarkably honest about most of what she says and a really bad liar about the rest.

It would've been dumb to judge Emet-Selch based on 4.4 (I think that was when he first turned up), but I feel like 6.2 gives a pretty accurate view of Zero.

I spent a few hours loving around in rival wings last night, working on titles, and got 81 tomes. It doesn't feel like the dungeon/raid grinds cause PVP matches have inherent chaos to them, can't suggest it enough for tome accumulation.

Yeah it's either that or a part of her was taken/pushed out, given a twisted form in the shape of zeromus.

Considering I'm a bit stingy on spending Gil. I might actually just get enough for the Falcon and the Albino Karakul since Emotes are a pretty low priority.

I spent long enough on the Doma part of Stormblood that I completely forgot Ala Mhigo was on Eorzea and we were trying to make a continent-spanning pincer attack work with like five dudes. Got a little confused about why they were sending me back to Limsa.

The winners of the weapon design contest got announced, and we're getting some cutlery nouliths:

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/34331314b6be44003de2c7853fa0bdd6bafcbe91

I'm kind of curious how that BUG KILLER scythe would have looked in game, but it was not meant to be.

Somebody also had the brilliant idea of a punchghost sage weapon but we aren't getting that either, sadly.
