Mr. Trampoline posted:Like yeah these side quests would be fine if I was doing them in FFXIV. There are occasionally interesting bits in there. But this is a single player, offline RPG, so I'm going to be comparing them to stuff like the Hero Quests and Ascension Quests in Xenoblade 3, which have a whole different level of presentation and reward to them Side-quests fill a completely different role in this, though. In XC3 they were basically necessary if you wanted to incorporate those classes into your gameplay, while FF16 instead just chooses to keep most of its substantive content in its main quest. I don't think it would be good if this game had Eikon skills locked behind optional side-quests in the same way, because it doesn't fit the structure of the game. Probably my only significant gripe with the side quests is that they don't do as good a job as the FF14 side-quests at giving towns character. In FF14, a town's side quests (and particularly the bigger one with the chain of multiple quests) would give you a good idea of a town's citcumstances/character. In FF16, they mostly seem to just give broader world-building.

I didn't say side quests had to reward optional Eikon skills (though I think that'd be pretty cool and would be a great reward!) I said there was a gulf in difference between presentation and reward of side quests in this, and Xenoblade 3 for example. I could also make the comparison with Witcher 3. I only just did a sidequest that did have a little presentation value, 30 hours in - a sidequest where you have to settle the Hideaway's debts - and that was pretty good because it had some actual mocapped cutscenes! More of that, please!

also titan's moveset has taken a sledgehammer to what remains of the difficulty curve, though i can't say i'm complaining. i've been just-guarding and dodging whenever possible so i have the timings of everything more or less worked out, and while the shield is just so-so, the upgraded thousand arms skill is disgusting and the windup punch does nearly as much damage as judgment bolt. thousand arms+rook can wipe out half a stagger bar by themselves if properly timed

So I’m a bit confused. (Somewhat after fifth Eikon spoilers) what did the empire council think Prince Olivier had done to get the Republic to want an armistice with the Empire?

Just unlocked the limit break, and god drat that so loving cool. This game is really something when it's firing on all cylinders. Also there were a ton of FFXIV references in that Ifrit fight, it uses a lot of the same attacks (but faster, that Ifrit is the very first primal you fight, so it's very easy). Glad that Clive has finally come around to fully joining up with fantasy John Brown. All the foot dragging on that has been a bit annoying.

I am very tempted to go find a farming spot and slam a bunch of AP down my gullet so I can finally liberate Judgement Bolt from Ramuh’s otherwise unimpressive moveset. The final 5500 to master is taunting me

The spears you jab into the ground are also incredibly good for raising the combo damage during stagger, just place one next to them at the start and you're doubling the amount of hits you do. I thought I'd swap out Ramuh when I got Titan but ended up replacing Garuda instead which I was only really keeping around for the half will stagger special.

I just got the fifth element set. I think I'll drop judgement bolt into that one and make it my blasting set. Tbh the single target lightning attack absolutely shits out damage and I use it a lot. It seems like a lot of ap on masteries but respec is easy so I'll see if it works.
