I don't think Estinien skips cutscenes but he does have them on auto-advance so he's probably missed half the exposition when he left to make a grilled cheese.

Cleretic posted:So who wants a weird little bit of trivia a friend and I dug up? Because we found a population snapshot as of a couple days after the launch of 1.0. If you group that chart by roles, it's a lot more reasonable with 10k tanks, and 17.5k DPS vs 8k CNJ players

Typically you'll be wearing Ironworks when you get into HW so you don't need stats for like five levels, if you're crafting you've quickly discovered crafting is bullshit in HW, and they don't start having npcs wear it until mid Stormblood.

Tamba posted:I'm sure the 2.0 launch looked similar, with tanks and DPS being split among multiple classes, but most healer players going to CNJ because it's the only healer available at lvl 1. My personal suspicion is that CNJ picked up both the healer players, and the people trying to metagame that early in: they were full of cross-class skills that looked really good, like Stoneskin, a magic damage buff, a number of healing spells,and all the elemental damage spells. Granted, a bunch of those probably weren't nearly as good as they looked like they were, and anecdotal evidence from later in the game (I don't think quantitative data exists) says that Thaumaturge became the meta because once people understood the game better, people realized they could just do everything. But at launch things were still being figured out.

Just wondering: are there any small housing exteriors that would make the place look like a mad scientist’s abode? I’m in the middle of actually getting into decorating the interior, with the top floor looking like a perfectly normal library/bedroom/lounge with books strewn all over the place… and the bottom floor is a dungeon with a mix of forbidden magical instruments and non-Allagan technology

Finished up the Sorrow of Werlyt today. They are going to have to try really hard to make any future deaths top Valens' for both "over the top" and "karmically appropriate." Asahi's definitely up there on the karmic scale, but Valens tops it for how well it was represented.

Yeah it rules.  Regalingualius posted:Just wondering: are there any small housing exteriors that would make the place look like a mad scientist’s abode? Mad Lab! By the comments the plating look probably involves layering a lot of objects into the walls. I do the same myself with halfways because I think rooms look goofy with their walls at their most open but they won't allow most objects to be adjacent to them by an inch or two. There's a few interiors that are more utilitarian/grungy iron works than the others, as well as items like the Garlaean steam pipes. With creative hiding of objects in objects I think you could represent some good non-Allagan tech pieces too.

They still call Thancred “old man” when he still looks maybe 20 at the oldest.

I thought Thancred was in his 30s due to the ARR timeskip from 1.0. That five year gap really gave all the main players more reasonable ages.

Is there an efficient way to level dps jobs outside of leveling/duty roulette? Leveling isn’t too bad but queues are otherwise pretty long…is there a new version of POTD to use?

VanillaGorilla posted:Is there an efficient way to level dps jobs outside of leveling/duty roulette? Leveling isn’t too bad but queues are otherwise pretty long…is there a new version of POTD to use? Frontline roulette is just as much XP as leveling roulette every day. You don't even have to play the job inside. You can switch inside and whatever you queued with gets the XP. And don't forget the Wondrous Tails, which is exactly half a level for any job each weak (so use it on your high level ones)

VanillaGorilla posted:Is there an efficient way to level dps jobs outside of leveling/duty roulette? Leveling isn’t too bad but queues are otherwise pretty long…is there a new version of POTD to use? Sort of? Roulettes are good. Rough order of value, things with queues will depend: 1. First Leveling, Trials, Alliance Raid, Main Scenario and Frontline roulette of the day. 2. Role quests, highest level dungeon available to you, first 5678 and Normal Raid roulette of the day, daily beast tribe quests in Shadowbringers and later. 3. Highest level dungeon with trusts or squadrons, Palace of the Dead, Heaven on High & Bozja, Crystalline Conflict, levequests. Guildhests you haven't done on that class yet, if sub-L40. 4. FATEs, hunts/hunting log, leftover side quests, and beast tribe quests before Shadowbringers made them rewarding. Repeat roulettes are not generally efficient. The value of dungeon spam will depend on the queue. It's usually better to chain-queue the highest non-X0 dungeon available and do job quests, FATEs, hunting log and beast tribe things while in queue than run Palace of the Dead-likes or do dungeons with trusts/squadrons, but if the dungeon queue is very long for your role/level this might not be true. The completion XP for a roulette (or other activity) tends to be a proportionally larger portion of the total XP at higher levels. Level 50, 60, 70 and 80 dungeons themselves give very little XP, although the daily roulette bonus is reasonable given how quick they are on average. Don't feel compelled to do something you dislike (e.g. pvp or MSQ roulette) because it's ~efficient~, there's plenty of alternatives.

yeah tbh once you get to 71 you can palm slam Bozja all the way to 90 if you want, it's surprisingly quick for what it asks of you and you don't even need to do anything difficult to unlock all of Southern Front.

Bozja is also where you get this crazy thing: I don't actually recommend trying to get it, the grind is a nightmare (collect all field notes) if you don't want to mess with duels. Even if it is the most stylish way to taxi someone around.

Yeah most of the cast that was present in 1.0, so the scions, are in their mid 20's or early 30's. Thancred is 32. Papalymo is 42 and the oldest scion in ARR, and Y'shtola is probably as old or maybe a bit older than Thancred. F'lhammin is another weird one. She's only 37 in ARR. She's only 10 years older than Minfilia.

Estinien and Aymeric are also 32. Tataru is 21. Krile is 22. G’raha is 24 or 324, or 124, depending on how you want to look at it. The twins are, of course, 16.
