Mordiceius posted:It's going to suck if Wuk is exclusively a tank role and can't pull double duty in another role. Because I do all MSQ as tank so it'll mean I'll never see her in a dungeon. I think as one of the primary characters in the expansion, they'll probably at least make her dual Tank/DPS just so you can guarantee her being around

So what's Erenville's dps class going to be? Think he'll pull twin blades out of his backpack?

Erenville is exclusively a gatherer.

erenville will pull a krile in 8.0 and undergo an offscreen training arc before showing up as the new dps job

Erenville will be a beastmaster that's how he's able to get specimens back to the archive. Just herd em across the world.

Blockhouse posted:I'm mainly curious [spoiler]where Alphinaud is going for most of the expansion He's on a ten level long date with a nice Turalian girl and the MSQ has a B plot where we occasionally repeat silly anime romance tropes like stalking Alphinaud to make sure he's okay. Also, the one weird girl from Sharlayan who is 100% into Alisaie is there because she mistook Alphinaud for Alisaie so catastrophiclaly that she refuses to believe he's his twin sister and no one is sure if she's catastrophically doubling down or just so unable to tell that it actually borders on the farcical.

I didn't go digging myself but I thought I'd mention it here for anytime interested - there's an extremely thorough data mining thread in The Balance's Dawntrail waiting room channel. Like, they've figured out the location and teleport cost of the Dawntrail aetherytes levels of thorough. The big stuff is still behind spoiler bars but it looks pretty intense so fair warning to tread carefully.

The big stuff is still behind spoiler bars but it looks pretty intense so fair warning to tread carefully. Here's an example coordinate overlay using only zones up to Stormblood: The dots are just the coordinate data for some of the teleportation centers. Not everything might map perfectly to the map features (note that Ishgard is well southwest of the city, for instance), but it's what is used to determine teleport prices between zones. Anyway, there's a few oddities on the Tural map that might either point to incomplete/wip data or unexpectedly shared costs, but there's also some tidbits that are definitely plot spoilers.

This reminds me that YoshiP had talked in a stream about how they had a well-hidden clue to the direction of 7.0 in patch 6.4 that people hadn't really found yet. The Letter that Krile put off investigating until she finished her work had the Galuf Baldesion/Gulool Ja Ja connection on the front of the envelope and I don't believe we ever see that side on-camera even when Krile brings it up with Wuk Lamat in 6.55. So the only way to know about it is to datamine - and it was pretty late in the 6.4x patch cycle when that texture started gaining wide recognition, too.

eh, there's some magic that's lost with such extreme data mining, like picking the benchmark apart to get actual models of new gear instead of point low res screenshots from the demo

# ? May 5, 2024 01:56 |

that's why they keep the magic alive with paper printouts held up to the camera for the live letter for non-dataminers

I mean sure but that 'magic' was always doomed to be lost pretty soon anyway. I can sympathize but it isn't any worse than expecting people to thottbot/wowhead quest locations and the like.

I wanna know who the woman in white is. Who is she. What is her deal Although it's kind of funny looking back at other expansion posters and seeing that both Shadowbringers and Endwalker had anomalous women in white at the top as well.

It's the Radz-at-Han/Rhalger/Idyllshire equivalent, right? I'm really curious to see how stuff develops. On one hand, I wasn't expecting zone 6 to be Amarot/Ultima Thule levels of surprise, but Solution Nine has me second guessing that.

The final zone is Solution 9 (post-outbreak). End boss is Shodan.
