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

We don't have any info (positive or negative) on whether Another Criterion's reward structure will change for the new one? Double doorboss for any rewards is rough.

On that note, two of us going in semi-blind (stress-testing an injured guildy's ability to sit for long enough to do static stuff, he seems to be all right) we got Silkie down and ~halfway through the second one in one 90-minute run that included a power outage. The other two party members have farmed it enough to get chairs, so we had good guides.

The XIV world was a hair's-breadth away from turning into a hosed up disaster world like NieR's

In as much as the WoL being on the First at all required several bits of time travel bullshit to line up right, maybe. Those robots quite literally did not know who they were dealing with.

Edit: Though I guess those robots would have been hosed anyway if the Eighth Umbral Calamity had happened and the First got rejoined.

I mean, technically the robots didn't turn up until after that point, so it's possible they would've lodged themselves in a different shard.

I'll still fight anyone who thinks that Thunder God Cid is the best voice acting in Orbonne. He's fine, but he's pretty flat, especially compared to Agrias.

6.5 hits and the last alliance raid drops. Hit the final trash pull and it's Agrias and Cid at the same time. Turns out the gods were watching and they deemed them badass.

Well, Monster Hunter World crossed over with Eorzea, and Geralt had a crossover in MHW, so in a sense, they're all related.

I think the presence of 2B / 2P in XIV is meant to have about the same narrative weight as their appearance in SoulCalibur 6. They're here to draw eyes to the story Yoko Taro wanted to tell about some sad dwarves.

I remain 100% convinced that Yoko Taro created 2P specifically as a diegetic explanation for 2B's palette swap in SoulCalibur 6, and extrapolated the rest of the alliance raid storyline backwards from there.

Yeah the assassin is known and it's not Yoshida. I do believe him when he says he was there, it was a sizable crowd and most of the early UO players were there, Lord British appearances were A Whole Thing. The guy who did it didn't even intend to kill Lord British, he was just doing a "what would happen if I do this" and he thought LB would have protections against ganking.

I wonder if Yoship plays CC.

He does, people have posted pictures of him in their matches. Lalafell BLM named Yoshi'p Sampo, which is a reserved name for him on all servers. From what I've heard he hit crystal on JP servers.

Do you think the QA characters get to have nice special glamours? I always ended up defaulting to whatever character's the fastest to make while testing poo poo, given that they get nuked at the end of the day, but MMOs have this whole persistency infrastructure that makes me really curious as to how it'd work
