The high-fiving is amazing. Pretty goofy but when your pawn saves your rear end and you instinctively walk up to them and they're like "hell yeah man" and dap you up that's just awesome.

How do you efficiently dodge or side-step in a game that doesn't have lock-on? Instead of side stepping, wouldn't you just turn the other way, do a leap or something, and then have to slowly turn back to the enemy who is now effectively behind you?

I should have tried it but the allure of being able to set myself on fire and then become untouchable was too much to turn down.

So do items you give to other people's pawns to hold as pack mules disappear if you dismiss them? I had a tent disappear from my party inventory at a pivotal moment - it wasn't destroyed so I figure the pawn that was carrying it just hosed off with it?

Speaking of Pawn AI. I had an incredibly tough encounter against a whole buttload of bandits that were outnumbering us 2-3 to 1 and I was VERY impressed at how responsive the Come Here! and Go! commands were. We were able to win simply by me making the pawns create a wall in front of me at the mouth of the cave, cast a spell to stagger some bantids, then order the pawns to take down a couple of staggered bandits while I set up Anodyne, then have them form a wall again inside the healing bubble, and repeating that a few times. It felt a lot more like commanding a small force, rather than herding a group of cats as it does in most games. Cool stuff.

Why did the character creator let me save multiple pawns, when the main game just used the last one saved? Can I find the other ones somewhere? Also, controversal I know, but this game runs like rear end

You have to go into the character creator demo and edit a different one, then when you save it will ask if you want to make this the new char the demo sends to the full game.

Forgotten Rift Stones are a cool gimmick. Go find them! Simple inclined pawns are great, they gather a lot and proactively hunt wildlife. They even found one of them gold trove beetles.

Oh, I'm playing and I feel deeply constrained so far. The theoretical future where I can use mage AND sorcerer spells makes me feel like I need 8 slots instead of 6, and those two extra are SORELY missed already. They gave us 2ND ED STONESKIN and a holy ball and firewall and a zap ball and how am I supposed to only have 4 of these

Unless they were straight up lying in an earlier interview to keep stuff hidden, no, the 10 vocations are the only ones in the game. When people are talking about hidden ones they are either A) pre-release speculation that was later debunked or B) referring to the hybrid vocations which are more obscure to unlock than the normal ones

Spent about 3 hours last night trying to create a rough approximation of my FFXIV character and still am very unsatisfied with. Will probably spend another hour or two tweaking this character further tonight. MAYBE I'll have a chance to start playing by the end of the weekend.   Despite the incredible amount of customization you can do with the character creator, I'm still intensely disappointed by the lack of moles. I tried to see if I could make a tattoo work, but unfortunately you can't make the tattoos small enough. The one tattoo that is a circle, when shrunk, is still the size of a bottlecap on the side of her face.

Man, I just limit it to 30 fps because my old eyes can barely see the difference mid-battle and the whole thing runs smooth. Maybe I'm too used to old games to care about 'sub-40 frame drops'. Admittedly I do tend to turn off the hyper fancy graphics options in most games because I don't care all for performance's sake.

How balanced are pawns compared to the arisen? In the first game I felt like you could easily get pawns early on that outclassed everything while you are just running around in a cloth with a rusty sword being useless and dying in one hit.

If you talk to Ser Geoffrey and tell him you're ready to go to the capital, does it skip time and take you there or something? I kind of want to keep exploring, just ignoring the main quest as much as possible, as is tradition.

One of the complaints I’ve seen is the lack of pawn voices and having them tied to inclination which *yes* I get but also I love how pawns will talk to each other now (so more lines involved) and I’ve kept a super chatty pawn who’s basically a golden retriever in my party forever because he and my calm pawn have developed some kind of father-son relationship. He’s always pointing out everything like a hyperactive child and my pawn is just trying to calm him down and stop him running off cliffs.

Should I keep toughing it out with the mage class until I get some beefier spells? The flamethrower locks your facing and feels terrible against lots of small guys, while the tiny magic bolts could feel a lot better. The lightning spell is cool but it doesn't appear to find other targets automatically for follow up strikes, so a lot of these goblin fights Kronk is just slicing them up while I plink away. Also fullscreen doesn't work for me unless I disable my second monitor  I'm going to look at that goon guide on graphical tweaks, since I 'optimized' my game into looking like rear end lmao
