Per the sahagin beast tribe quests, the sahagin also constantly encroach on limsa since their spawning grounds were destroyed. Limsa's stuck between two grumpy beast tribes.

And it's always been pretty explicit that it wasn't Merlwyb ordering attacks on the kobolds, but just Limsans, mostly ex-pirates, doing it on their own and sparking wider conflicts. Merlwyb disapproves intensely and tries to rein in her people, but neither is she willing to stand by and let the sahagin and kobolds slaughter her people. Trying to exert the level of control over all the settlers on Vylbrand that it would take to prevent that sort of thing would turn Merlwyb into a tyrant, and given the nature of most Limsans they'd probably ignore her or spark a civil war if she tried. Merlwyb by all indications doesn't seem to actually have very much authority. She commands the loyalty of the Maelstrom, the Yellowjackets, the Knights of the Barracuda, and the Gentlemen Rogues, but it's not clear how much of that is legal authority and how much is force of personality on her part. People seem to be happy to follow Merlwyb because her policies and leadership have made Limsa Lominsa prosperous, but it's a recurring thing in quests around Limsa that many people think she's soft and naive with her talk of diplomacy and peace, especially with the kobolds.

That part isn't that difficult really, the Burn cast is very slow and if you quickly line him up you can hit both the boss and the spear with a drill cannon line.

Meicyn posted:My understanding is that the peace treaty didn't really establish clear lines of division either, just a fairly vague "you have the north and I have the south" which left the door wide open for future conflicts, especially with the food and resource constraints. The Cataclysm and the Sahuagin wiping out a settlement to claim for their replacement breeding ground probably didn't help much

The secret to Perfect Blue is skipping the second set of Angons with Final Sting. The real killer is Charybdis + Plaincracker. Also forgetting to sheathe your cane after the Repelling -> Spikes switch and then ruining everything because you punched the boss in the face.

Monathin posted:In conclusion Eorzea is a land of contrasts, thank you I like the lore of this game because it isn't a story where everybody is shades of gray so much as it's a story where conflicts often come down to both sides having a point. They may not always have a good point, but I can generally see where all the major villains are coming from. The Kobolds and Sahagin are in the wrong for summoning their planet-killing gods to slaughter people who quarrel with them, but there's a lot of pirates who aren't ready to come to heel in Limsa and they aren't improving things. The problem is that they need a bigger island and since the WoL can't fix that by collecting piles of dung, the story can't spend too much time on it.

Yeah, especially in Limsa's case both the Sahagin and the Kobold can be boiled down to "we want all of [the surrounding waters/the land] because our god demands such tribute", which you can at least see why Limsa is bristling against said declarations. But you're right, there's a lot of pirates who will take matters into their own hands because, y'know, they're pirates.

Umbreon posted:Are squadron dungeons worth more exp than non first LLDR of the day dungeons? If you're a DPS, most certainly. You can run a command mission just in the time it would take for your queue to fire otherwise, and it's less stressful. Tanks and healers it's probably less clear cut. Chances are the DF dungeon is better in terms of real EXP, but I'd say that over time the command missions might win since you can stop and have a drink or chat with friends without ruining everything, and you don't risk stupid pubbie drama; put it all together and you get a process you're less likely to burn out on.

Yeah there have been times while leveling tanks where I just haven't wanted to deal with real people and squad dungeons are the perfect solution to that. Stone Vigil is still good XP even in the low 50's.

Lolorito is a slimy piece of poo poo, but at least he's pretty open and honest about it. He doesn't really go around trying to convince everyone he's a good guy, he's just some dude who's all "yep, I like money. Sometimes getting more money helps other people out, whatevs"

Also, if you're just queueing leveling roulette without the once-per-day bonus, you can easily get Sastasha on your LV50+ job. Sure, it'll be easy, but the XP is going to be really underwhelming without the bonus. If you're a tank, you can solve that by queueing a high-level dungeon and it'll pop instantly anyway, because tank, but if you're DPS, that queue's going to be an eternity, so you're better off going squad.

It's hard to beat Gegejuru in a 'filthy capitalistic pig' race. Really hard.

Eureka shares more in common with the hunt than it does FFXI. If you like the hunt except it's in one zone, you will probably like Eureka.

I would love to be able to apply multiple dye colors to different parts of gear too, and the client can probably support it fairly easily from what I've learned on the modding discord (besides having to modify what parts of the gear color palettes get dyed with which slot, of course). The big problems for getting there would probably involve having to store the extra dye data for every piece of gear (and from live letters they're very stingy with how much data they'll throw around for anything because of how often they persist player data).

This game triggers FOMO in me worse than any social media or any other MMO. There's just so much I could be doing. Triple Triad! Fishing! Chocobo racing! Gold Saucer! Gardening! Cooking! All the jobs! Materia! Retainers! Logs! Leves! Raids! Trials! Fates! Dungeons! Treasure Hunts! PVP! Which is great! But drat. I guess if you have a normal life at all you just have to resign yourself to not experiencing certain parts and concentrate on really enjoying a few bits.

I decided to read up on Tactics.  I thought Argath was a major villain, but apparently he's just some bratty rear end in a top hat who dies in Chapter 1. I see now that all of his battle quotes are basically him spitting venom about peasants, though.

Hobgoblin2099 posted:I decided to read up on Tactics. The thing is that while he might only be in the first and shortest chapter of the game, he's highly memorable and his actions have immense repercussions (you can draw a direct line from Argath's actions to Delita becoming king). Also "bratty rear end in a top hat" is the understatement of the century. Tactics in general is great for memorable characters that don't actually stick around too long. Argath, Gafgarion, and Milleuda are all every bit as compelling as Delita, Wiegraf, and Alma.

FactsAreUseless posted:His name is Argus in the original US release, and he's a pretty memorable villain even though he dies early. He really underlines the class issues (that the story quickly abandons in favor of a complex fantasy plot because this is Final Fantasy, not Ogre Battle). Agreed, but he's Algus in the original release. I still can't get used to that "Argath" business.
