Not sure how they're planning on getting a 24-man solo set-up when the 8-man setups are already a lot more AI work than light parties, but at the very least I imagine they'll probably rejigger things to ease the scripting burden, at least, like they've done for the dungeons and trials they've reworked.

I suspect they'll turn it into an 8-man when they rework it. They'd need to take it out of the alliance roulette then, but depending on how long it ended up it could be lumped in with the new MSQ roulette.

There are 3 alliances, 3 grand companies, which would work for the CT raids at least. Dunno what they'd do for the others.

Booo this is like the time I purposely tanked a hit on Smileton's second boss and found that yes this boss is complete trash.

Did the game give you some kind of achievement for being the first player ever to be hit by that boss?

It'd be a weird one for sure since the actual story is very "side story." There's no real reason for the other scions to show up, so it's like the NOAH team plus... the Sons of Saint Coinach? A bunch of archeologists getting murdered by voidsent while Cid, Biggs, Wedge, and eventually Nero pull most of the NPC weight?

It would be neat if they did something similar to the expedition team in Endwalker and just threw a bunch of named NPCs you may or may not know in there from other quests.

I suppose G'raha, Unei and Doga could get in on it. Give the clones some weird Allagan weapons, I think both of their FF3 namesakes used staves.

Ignore my posts!
I'm aggressively wrong about everything!
So, a neat little dorky fact on the new item shop update: The ochestrion rolls that just got added, for Painted Foothills and Moebius' orchestral versions, have been sitting in the game's files since 4.5!

Moebius' orchestral version is the song for the final phase of TEA, and as a result was in the Death Unto Dawn soundtrack, but I believe Painted Foothills' orchestral version has just been sitting around completely unreleased for years until now.

You can right click an umbrella from the fashion accessory menu to set it as auto use, and you'll automatically use it in compatible areas when it rains.

Freestyle SAM is a classic example of people just not reading their buttons. Just don't try to parse roulette content and you'll hopefully keep your sanity.

It was more like... why is this taking so long? I was tanking.

Edit: Other DPS, archer, ended up doing the LBs at the end. The SAM was in ironworks gear, so presumably pretty new to the class, but also wasn't their first time in there.

Sometimes people in NN don't believe me when I tell them I play DPS in ex roulette specifically to avoid getting two of these people in a party. But they're really out there, waiting to strike (or not strike, I guess).

What about the BLM I had one time who was hiding AOE on bosses and single target on mobs and appeared to be switching between ice and fire whenever the hell they felt like it.

And also I was also playing BLM.

And also it was EX roulette.

they were an obvious pair with the other dps - same last name - and that dps wasn't good but they were doing their combos and so on - so I halfway wondered if they were like a younger sibling or child playing for the first time. of course I didn't say anything because I piously fear yoship's wrath so idk, but at least I got to make a post whining about it
