Hot take: it would be much better for everyone if the title came with surviving 300 rounds rather than getting 100 wins.
my opinion is that it should be 'come in first in a round 100 times' so you can also get real good at crystals or the starter rounds (and make whoever is furthest away from Typhon at the time of the 8th elimination also be "first" for progress there/a MGF bonus, which also incentivizes people to play risky)

but yours is good too

With complete sincerity, with my whole heart, I want a BLU Battle Royale.

48 players enter the zone with only Water Cannon. Monsters spawn randomly with various powerful blue mage spells. A magical barrier closes in on the zone. Last surviving blue mage wins.

I wish everyone would cheat at FFXIV so I wouldn't have to die from secondhand embarrassment every time I do an expert roulette with someone that has 1000 hours and is hardcasting verthunder or what the gently caress ever.

I saw one learn about it yesterday. I don’t know how, but they somehow lost track of people and sat there dancing with 15/16 people qualifying. Then didn’t make it in before the last one.

This would get me to both try BLU and also be quiet about Blitzball for an expansion at least.

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

Last card done, Aloalo complete.

Final count: a statue, a hedge, a bird, two lizards and three umbrellas. Marketboard is eating well even after I took some pets for my own.

Dang. After clearing all 12 paths I picked up exactly two pieces of furniture and that's it. And that was with picking the same path as Matsya most times.

I don't think I got anything from Matsya's chests except fireworks, all from the boss ones. I did have to loop through a few more times looking for exits or misclicking, and the 12th exit took three goes for the card to drop, so it was probably 18-20 runs total. But yeah, lucky.

I accidentally did this before tanking a duty finder dungeon. Didn't realize until I loaded in bottomless. It was certainly a look since the rest of the glam at that time involved big bulky armor.

There's just something fun about grabbing literally the first pants that drop to throw on something (can't remember which dungeon it was, but something ARR so just had to be anything disciple of war).

If I could I would, they just really hate the idea that somebody might flip MGP for gil. Also the Blackjack would be a top tier mount if it had the airship music from FF6 but unless you mod that in it is sadly less than it could have been.

I've got mount music turned off most of the time anyway. Ever since the Falcon didn't come with "Searching for Friends" I figured they wouldn't be doing Setzer's theme with the Blackjack.

Onean posted:

Yeah, I just triple checked, and across the three different trailers (teaser/cinematic, launch/in-game and benchmark) the only one I'm seeing that has StB stuff in it is the teaser/cinematic trailer.

We still saw it before it was actually playable, it's just the subject was about the in-game trailers and spoilers, and not the cinematic ones. (I think HW's cinematic trailer takes the cake for the biggest spoiler regarding the previous expansion on that topic though.)

Since I didn't want to link them, even through just their URL's, over there, here's each trailer I'm seeing.

Teaser/Cinematic

Launch/In-game

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxHSSRjFH14

Benchmark

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlOBnVv6byI

Is there another trailer I'm not seeing, or are people calling the cinematic trailer the in-game one because it's viewable from the start screen, while I'm calling the launch trailer the In-game one because it uses In-game cutscenes?

I suspect people refer to the first one you linked as the in-game one because it's the one that plays in the game when you idle on the main title for a minute or two.

It's an understandable confusion what with the phrase "in-game cutscene" also referring to stuff made in-engine. But I think that's part of the reason why some people have started using the phrase "in-engine" to refer to the latter.

I don't think in engine is a phrase people have recently started using. I think it is pretty old terminology

see this would never occur to me because i watch all the trailers on youtube. and some are CGI pre-rendered cinematics and some are recorded from the in-game cutscenes instead, which i call either launch trailers or patch trailers
