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.

Chillgamesh posted: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. Cabbit fucked around with this message at 04:08 on May 14, 2023 |

Those robots quite literally did not know who they were dealing with. 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.

Cid mostly just has the most hardcore lines The gods will not be watching It would be funny if you had done Ivalice, there was a scene in Myths where the gods are like "oh no we were watching that poo poo was badass" Waffleman_ fucked around with this message at 06:16 on May 14, 2023 |

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.

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.

Remembering how Yoship was a Zangief main who trashed the devs during a playtest of one of the games so hard that they nerfed Zangief just because of him.

Sadly I'm pretty sure the assassin's identity is known, and its not Yoshi-P. Unless...

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.

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 e: i wonder if the QAs for XIV have to be like, actually good at it

iirc the explanation for p8s' original enrage tuning was that the team just got too drat good at it so when they tacked on the "actual raiders are n% better" tax and shipped it hilarity ensued
