My authenticator app seems to have forgotten who I am and is asking me to re-authenticate, which I can't do without being able to use it to generate a password to get into MogStation to generate a password to attach to my account. It's not a huge issue, just... how does that even happen? Get your poo poo together, my phone. Or maybe SE.

At that point, you should ask them to equip a better weapon, and if they don't comply, votekick them for harassment and beg someone in your FC to join in-progress as a tank.

Honestly, the idea of creating a single player FFXI game for those who didn't get to experience it when it came out isn't a bad idea, provided that they make the play style not awful from a single player perspective. But the fact that they're keeping it mobile only with a less than reputable dev as opposed to SE's usual strategy of releasing it on PSN / steam / mobile devices shows they're probably going to gently caress it up.

All of the ascians are actually named after the scions of light that supposedly opposed the espers that you can summon in 12. Nabriales is the opposition to Cuchulainn.

Everyone says they wish they could experience the story single player but I feel like the reality is the novelty of an MMO with a story wouldn't shine as bright since it's a lot more common now. Additionally I think the fact that it could be weeks between cutscenes made it feel more powerful because it took a lot of work and it was an accomplishment. If you could barrel through it it'd feel a lot less impressive.

SL the Pyro posted:Not strictly XIV-related but "Hel-lo everyone, Mister Happy here, and welcome to Final Fan-" nope On a linked topic, I've been playing XI over the past month to join a friend in some playtime after they closed the PS2 and X360 logins. I hadn't played in roughly 4-5 years due to a very annoying payment issue on SE's end, so there's quite a bit for me to catch up on. It's amazing but like 95% of the game is soloable now using Trusts. It's still a 2001 MMO with updates stuck in TYOOL 2016, but it's worth acknowledging how much they're trying to continue supporting the game despite its obvious hardware limitations. That said, there's still a very vocal part of the playerbase that actively blames XIV for sucking subscribers and development seed money away from XI. The amount of unreasonable vitriol some XI players have towards XIV is extremely strange to me. There are many people intent to keep XI in the dark ages as much as possible, who legitimately think that content that takes maybe a few hours in XIV should take literally months to complete in XI. They like that weird "challenge." I think that some long-term goals are good, but many of the arguments I've seen are just time wasters. XI has done a good job veering away from that strategy and should continue to do so, not hearken back to the old crazy grind from before. If you're willing to farm diligently, nearly anyone can get a normal 75 relic in XI. It still takes months to grind the literally hundreds of 100-bill currency required. Upon simply saying I play XIV, one XI relic owner I spoke with said he would never be interested in doing the annoying FATEs in XIV to get crystals for the first phase of the Animus relic. I mean, grinding crystals wasn't fun, but I did it in two days. I didn't say anything to him because I assumed he was just being willfully ignorant. Maybe I should've, but I don't think it would have lead anywhere.

I don't doubt there are actually people out there who are that bullheaded, but I still hope I never meet one. Stufoo posted:It's not like we benefit from it with XV stealing all of XIV's cash shop money for aaron paul anime and cars I didn't start off expecting people in XI to be like this, but my experiences have been pretty similar. Many of them are insatiable, but I don't think I'm overly biased and I can see that SE is trying to continue bringing life to XI. FFXI recently got a new "Battle system" in Ambuscade, and it doesn't appeal to me very much (though the rewards are really drat good), but it shows that XI's development team is still trying to think of new ways to engage their playerbase with what benefits they have been gifted. XI is still the most profitable venture Square-Enix has ever seen, and they definitely acknowledge that and still try to throw bones to its subscribers. I think that we can all agree that XIV has seen setbacks to its development teams. I think they do a good job adjusting. My only complaint is that we now only get 2 expert dungeons per HW update instead of the 3 we would get with each ARR content patch. The dungeons are still good, and there's plenty of other content to experience, so it's manageable. I mean, it's totally disappointing that XIV isn't receiving all of the benefits we as subscribers pay into it, but the development team's allocation works very well despite Square-Enix's skeleton crew management style. XV is definitely the cash cow for SE now. They famously have been quoted saying that they want to make sure they sell atleast 10 million copies of XV or they won't be "satisfied," and so they're pumping lots of money into its subsidiaries and advertising to make sure it happens. It will be interesting to see how it all plays out- I wasn't a fan of the recent Platinum Demo, but I thought the demo that came with Type-0 was lots of fun, so I'm confident XV will be a success.

BobbyK posted:What's the easiest way to build a Triple Triad deck for beating the imperial dude in Mor Dhona? I wanna grind the Fenrir mount. He uses Ascension rules, so I recommend a deck heavy in Primals. Back in the day, I would use Ifrit, Garuda, Titan. They are each 3-Star Cards. Bahamut is the best choice to use as your 5-Star Card. You'll also have space for one more card, and I don't know if they've added anymore 3-Star Primal cards since then, so you might just want to think about grabbing something fairly strong on ~2 Sides like a Behemoth. Alternatively, you could use Imperial cards yourself. Livia and Rhitahtyn are 2-Stars but will get stronger faster since the Indolent Imperial is also using a deck based primarily in Imperials. Nero's 3 stars I think, and if you have Gaius, he's 5-Stars. I personally feel safer with the Primal setup though. All this said, if you're really thinking of grinding this out Celes Reinhardt style, I feel like you should reconsider. I mean, it's totally viable, but I personally think it's just boring as poo poo doing the same thing over and over. Make sure you atleast pay attention to the rest of the challenge log. I feel like chocobo racing may be way more interesting for grinding than TT grinding these days.

Doing Chocobo Racing on a regular basis is also a start on getting the Racing Chocobo Mask through the Covering Achievement. I don't think I have any glamours I really want to use with it, but it's so silly when paired with the Chocobo Suit that I can't help but want it for my collection regardless.

How quickly do you want Fenrir? You can get like 40-50K or so each week from the challenge log and that doesn't count TT tourney winnings, mini Cactpot, Jumbo Cactpot or upgraded GATE rewards, or the one time Chocobo challenges. I would agree that if you put the time into Chocobo racing and stretch the timeline to like a 2-3 month window you'll get there with a lot less stress and probably not that much more time on the calendar.

Chocobo racing can be frustrating at times but it is infinitely more fun than Triple Triad, especially if you are picking one thing to farm after challenge logs are done for the week. Now give me chocobo boots like the trainer at Gold Saucer and hide the catgirl tail in the chocobo costume and everything will be perfect.

They give you something called Trusts (summon able NPC characters that level with you and don't need gear) so you're bascially a walking party. I'm not saying it's a better game than a current MMO but if you're looking to walk down memory land and genuinely enjoyed FFXI, this is as good a time to hop back on as any.

FFXI as it currently stands with its mechanics would be a fun game if the gameplay was like 10 times faster The main problem the game has at this point is just that it takes forever to get anything done at all because the gameplay/combat is slow as molasses. I'm looking at you, altepa gate

I've managed to get my Ranger to level 50 in about a week and a half (and if you're super hardcore you can get to 99 in less than that).

I was bored and didn't feel like continuing with main story, so I did the Atma weapon quest. Only took ~2.5 - 3 hours to find all 12. The hardest one was Eastern La Noscea, because it turns out there isn't an atma in Eastern La Noscean.  Probably not going to bother with the other steps for a while though. I have better uses for all the poetics.
