Bad news.

The Tactics Alexander video *was* this year's April Fool's goof. http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/pr/blog/001990.html

Not to say that I'm disappointed that it wasn't a real thing, rather, it's a step down from last year's ChocoGo one.

check out my Youtube posted:

The only people doing the Midan fights are people who are either rushing through to get to the Alexandrian section (and will only do each fight once and never again) or people doing the brute justice fight to get a 230 weapon. I can't imagine either group of people is concerned with token drops but who knows? Dummies will roll on anything they're allowed to need roll on. vOv is right though and the queue times will probably be pretty bad.

Your best bet is to just get a premade group to take on each fight a couple times and let you take all the tokens. The fights are so easy at current gear level I doubt you'd even need the full 8 people and if you make good time you could probably get your full set in under an hour.

You do still need 8 people, unfortunately. You aren't allowed to undersize any of the HW duties.

I'm not disappointed though... that video is one of my favorite things to come out of Heavensward. v:shobon:v ChocoGo didn't thrill me as much as this.

So is there any option at all for actually getting to try Alexander Savage that isn't 'get together a group myself?'

The people I play with aren't overly interested in it and it seems like literally everyone else will dodge the second they see the new player bonus thing pop up which seems to defeat the point of doing it in duty finder anyway.

Which FC are you in? You might have luck just hollering in there. Otherwise, pf learning parties are really not going to go very far, but it'll let you get comfortable with individual mechanics while secure in the assurance that you're nowhere near the worst player in the party.

A friend is having an issue on PS4 where FFXIV is installed and up-to-date (she just played the other day) but now whenever she tries to start the game, it's trying to download ARR 2.0. Anyone heard of this or know of any solutions? Would prefer to not re-download it if it could be helped due to data caps, but this has me stumped and I can't seem to find any other reports of this happening.

So people like to talk about how the Diabolos fight in Dun Scaith is extremely anime. This is true, but "Nest Side Story" (the Vanu Vanu quest that gives you Sworn reputation) leaves it behind in the dust. The whole Vanu Vanu storyline has been ridiculously anime.

More anime than having a giant magical beam duel against a super demon before he absorbs a scantly-clad girl who looks like 12 to become a super saiyan demon? That's a hell of a claim and now I want to see this quest.

I mean, to be fair it's a very different subgenre of anime, but yes, I'll stand by that claim. You unleash the power of friendship to join with your friends in a giant synchronized dance fight to defeat the enemy and dance so passionately that you literally burst into flame.

The quest you get for all HW beast tribes at max rank is also total 'power of friendship' anime bullshit and as a bonus you get to see lots of dancing moogles, dragons, vanu, and gnath everywhere. :3:

I think what sets the Diabolos fight apart is that you, the player, get to do it. The Vanu thing is just a cutscene. A great cutscene with a great reward, but it still isn't you, it's just your avatar. Against Diabolos it's you doing your rotation, doing mechanics, etc., and that just feels inherently cooler.

Nest Side Story is great, but the CUL 60 quest (The Spirit of Hospitality) is even more anime still. Albeit in yet another subgenre.

If you've ever watched a cooking anime you can probably guess what happens.

And then there's Friends Forever, the finale of the combined 2.0 beast tribe quests. You aren't playing right if you haven't done that yet.

I still think that the SMN 30-50 questline is the most anime thing in the game. But it's been a while since i've seen those cutscenes so I might be wrong.

I remember the first few Scholasticate quests being extremely anime.
