MSQ spoilers: With the prisoner exchange obviously being a bad thing for Doma and the talk about having to change empires from within, I'm thinking Doma is about to receive a whole bunch of Manchurian candidates. I wish there was a speech option when Asahi was pouting at you about dumpstering his boycrush. The chuckle emote would have been way funnier than standing there with a stupid look on your face.

Why gently caress when he could stroke his ego?

The best outcome would have been telling Asahi that you and xenos were better friends than they ever was, and those moments in the garden atop the ala mhigo palace transported you to a different world.

Tried out MSQ roulette for fun and I don't think I'm ever going to try it again. I did learn that if you have a fast PC your cutscenes will advance faster than others which results in you getting aggro'd by every enemy in the room and dying before the tanks or healers can help you out.

I think it's weaker ascians have to use corpses, but the stronger ones can also hijack living folks. It came up in the SMN quests iirc.

The giant question marks and changed casting sounds were kind of a giveaway regarding what you're supposed to do. Though it does give me hope that O8S is a fun fight that will combine attacks in weird ways.

i'm finding this quite easy, i guess in part because i'm a fast type but also because i have a coherent mental model of the world
There’s a bit in 4.2 where a character leans in close to talk to you and I almost didn’t realize they were specifically leaning down to be face to face with my lalafell PC. It was really well done, and I have to wonder what the tenor of that scene is like if they have to stand on their toes for a roegadyn’s sake instead.

As someone who has played max-height femroe since I was able to, I can't imagine how ridiculous how some of the MSQ scenes have to be as a potato. It always seems like I'm addressing a gaggle of children (which in Alphinaud's/Alisae's sake, it practically is) unless someone like Gotetsu or Urianger is there to break up the size discrepancy, and I just can't imagine staring down Zenos while being the size of his boot. Heavensward had a way different feel because over half the people I talked to were either dragons or Elezen.

As for that scene, it was a mixed feeling of "WHY ARE YOU INVADING MY PERSONAL SPACE" and "drat don't crane your neck that hard, you'll hurt yourself."

I came back to post that it had just occurred to me they could have reversed the characters’ positions on the slope they were standing on to allow for the NPC to still lean in/down at you, but I’m glad they didn’t.

My favorite thing is still an HW scene in which Alphinaud is talking and, next to him, the lala WoL’s eyes and hair are just peeking over the bottom edge of the frame.

Yeah it definitely front loads the tricky parts. The only one that seems to get people toward the end is when he teleports then uses the knockback instead of the frontal blast, but you're given a few seconds to reposition so it's not that bad.

Have boots and one (1) glamour prism. Open the dresser, shove boots inside. Click on the boot slot of the paperdoll on the left and select the boots you just put in, then save the plate. You can then apply this next to the gearset button and it will slap those boots over anything that can wear them.

A Glamour Plate is just a total glamour overwrite. It will remove any current glamours and replace them with whatevers on the Plate.

Once the restrictions on where you can use plates is lifted, the system is going to be so much better. It's already really good in it's current state as long as you're not one of those people who need a RP outfit for everything while not in a city. Getting new gear and just immediately being able to set your glamour back without going to your retainers is amazing.

Or keeping a bunch of glamour gear on you, because you gotta look right. Not that I'd do that.
