Goddamn. Nice!!

By the way, for all three and a half of us that are curious about this, I raised the question of 'hardest expansion for legendary fish' to the big fishing discord. And it turns out each expansion has different people arguing entirely different reasons you could say they had the hardest legendary fish, which is neat!

HW definitely has the most complex fish. SeaButt, Chari, and Reim end up being incredibly frustrating. For me, Chari was the worse for me. A whole lot of "spend way too much time to trigger intuition and then hope you get it in the 45 seconds available to you."

Stormblood, like most things in this game, I feel ended up being the most balanced. A nice mix of complexity and availability.

For me, Shadowbringers fish have been the most frustrating. Not because they're complicated but because the availability windows are complete bullshit. The Heavensward fish are actually preferable to Shadowbringers fish, to me. Sure, SeaButt may be a pain in the rear end, but you'll usually have the fish window available once (or multiple times) a day. For Shadowbringers, Cinder Surprise just came off a two week break. There was a period last year where Cinder went unavailable for forty days. That's just loving annoying. It is super fun to see that the fish is going to be unavailable for two weeks, then the next window is a 4 am, followed by another 2 weeks of unavailability.

StB > HW > ShB

I will take an annoying to catch fish that is regularly available over a mechanically easy fish that you get one shot at per month.

That being said, I'm closing in on the end of fishing for me. Out in the world, all I have left is Cinder Surprise and Lancetfish. I've put very few attempts on the latter and would have probably had it if I'd focused on it, but it's frequently available so I haven't felt the pressure.

Also about to tie a bow on Ocean Fishing. Only need 50k more points for World-Class Troller. Only missing Placodus from the Indigo route and Hells Claw from the Ruby Route.

My 6.0 goal, having only casually fished (did the dragons deep quest and a bunch of ocean fishing) prior, was to have a complete fishing log by 7.0 and I feel pretty confident in getting that done.

Zero loses her hat and becomes the only scion you can apply a glamour to, specifically to the head slot and the head slot only.

ST will continue to be the only raid that appears in alliance duty roulette as everyone queues to farm an Amon's Hat for Zero.

Enough of this nonsense. You are an important mayor and this absurd contraption has wasted enough of your time.
My hot take is that while they should definitely remove the job glamour restrictions from everything that isn't AF gear, it wouldn't matter to me because non-maiming gear sucks. Back before EW I took stock of my sam glams and was surprised to learn that I had almost 0 glams requiring striking only gear. After the fanfest I took a look at Eorzean Collection for scouting gear and found that I wouldn't really use any of it either.

I mean, yeah, it's probably a bad choice of word. But I just don't like how much G'raha Tia is obsessed with the WoL. It creeps me out.

What's a better single word that means "someone who without you asking and without you reciprocating acts overly obsessed with you, worships the ground you walk on, squeals when they hear your voice, wants to spend every waking moment around you, and will literally drop anything at any moment to do anything you ask of them"?

Just look at the quest to unlock Eureka Orthos. He's literally tripping over himself to drop everything he's doing just because he gets so excited to hear the WoL's voice.

I liked the Crystal Exarch. I loving hate G'raha Tia.

Yeah, and I don't want to be followed around by a fanboy. It's incredibly off-putting.

Like, I fully accept that I'm a minority in this opinion. Most people seem to be as enthusiastic about G'raha Tia as he is about the WoL. For me, I just don't find his behavior endearing - I find it exhausting.

I kinda agree with Mord here. G'raha always came off as...extra clingy to me and insistant on adventuring with us. He hasn't been bad lately!

The "worst" example of it, to me, was the quest to open Eureka Orthos. I wish I could find the actual lines from the quest, but I'm pretty sure he actually squeals in surprise when we linkshell him and is panting when he arrives because he literally dropped everything and took off running to meet us.

The dude had more than the average lifetime to build up the WoL as a hero in his head, and the WoL *is* a hero. So I don’t see it like some annoying celebrity idolization or anything. It makes sense considering his circumstances and is one of the rare times I see that kind of admiration as justified in the writing of his character.

And now G’raha gets to work with that person when he thought he would be dead. I can’t really say if I were in his shoes that I wouldn’t act the same way - must feel pretty good to be alive and doing exactly what you want to be doing along side the person who essentially made you what you are (in his eyes).
