Is fat cat real? I thought it was a void sent. If so yes.

Nagxian cat, purchasable for nutsacks in EW cities.

Outside of this, not as far as I know. Just tiny coeurls that look like housecats, kinda.

Dumb question, if I wanted to replay the story but on a different job, is there any way to do that in tandem with NG+ or is it best to just roll a new character?

You can still do NG+ on a different job, but you will need to get the experience to level said job elsewhere.

Rolling a new character removes a lot of QOL stuff that makes it annoying - glamours and dyes for a while, mounts, and even gc ranks. It's a lot of little stuff, but as someone who did just play though ARR on a new fresh character, it's a lot of stuff I take for granted.

The fat cat minion is a perfectly normal cat.
"Fatter Cat" mount's description alleges that since its able to fly, it must be the corpse of a pet revived by a necromancer or voidsent.

No matter how one loves, there are always different aims. Love can take a great many forms, whatever the era.
When I finally got to the top, there was a stranger up there waiting, who immediately gave me very specific instructions on how to make the jump. Thanks to those instructions, I landed it the first try. Bless that person.

Targeting yourself can help with these. As long as any part of your hitbox circle is touching a platform it counts as standing on it.

Also if you have Self-Destruct on Blue Mage, you can have a friend drag you up the tower by going into a duty to reset the death timer. Self-Destruct -> friend rezzes you as high as they can -> you enter duty unsynced or go to the Gold Saucer Battlehall -> leave -> Self-Destruct, etc

What really helped for me was putting the camera to my back and going straight forward for each jump. Made it way easier to control/gauge my momentum.

The tools of a hero mean nothing without a solid core.

Something odd I've been seeing for FATEs... for collection ones, I'll start killing guys, someone else joins in. Once I hit 10 or so I turn in and leave to let them farm. Sometimes they follow me, sometimes they keep killing groups there without turning in. Never respond to saying anything. Is this some odd bot loop? A newbie who doesn't know how those FATEs work and too embarassed (or just a kid, or doesn't speak the language) to say anything?

I don't see it all the time, but often enough to make a note of it. Every couple of weeks or so.

I just realized that the official ePub version of Chronicles of Light handles paragraph indents by manually having two non-breaking spaces at the front of each indented paragraph.

I think I'm going to be ill.

When their names are nonsense characters I assume they're bots, but the botters are probably smart enough to not engage with those fates. Probably just confused noobs tbh

Literally just that one dungeon. I wanna say like, 90% of the gimmicks you see in A Realm Reborn dungeons are exclusive to A Realm Reborn dungeons.

What dungon is this?

I assume Dzemael Darkhold, with the crystals you have to stay near for the defense buff and to kill the first boss.

Edit: vv Yup, that's the one.

When you see it, you'll shit yourself.


Darkhold is pretty good actually because you can just wall to wall the first pull thanks to the crystals. The boss is annoying but it's the only one that you need to worry about with that mechanism.

And it's dark and there is nobody driving And something has got to give

Yeah, nothing you see in Darkhold will ever come up again, which is probably for the best because it's technically optional and you don't want to teach recurring mechanics in something players can totally miss.

The crystal mechanic would be annoying if it came up again, but as has been previously said a lot of people like it for that one dungeon because you can pull all the trash before the first boss and tank it without taking any damage and that owns.

This used to be (before they started just giving exp for boss clears) a speed level strat. You'd kite all the mobs to the room right in front of the first boss, burn them down, quit the dungeon, repeat. People would do anything to avoid having to grind Fates.

The actual killer mechanic of Dzemael Darkhold is that it's the only dungeon where trash pulls can launch you off a ledge to your likely death.

They can't do that anymore, the lower level is not accessible since the revamp in 6.1 (?) so the worst they will do is punt you into the next pack.

The only remaining janky dungeon in the basic 1-49 pack is Aurum Vale, really. I suppose Cutter's Cry is maybe a little weird with some of the rooms past the first boss, but Aurum's the only one where not getting overwhelmed by patrols or dragged by frogs into hell is a major mechanic.
