I'm using a controller and I have a question about O2S (and I guess every other fight with a don't face the boss gimmick). Is it worth learning Legacy camera? Being able to not spend an entire cast bar spinning the camera around to avoid "look or die" would be nice. I'm playing an RDM so I don't need to worry about loving up positionals.

No I'm not swapping back to KB+M.

Abolutely use legacy camera. I never played without it. Been using controller since day 1 also.

So if i use a fantasia, am i able to mess around with what my character looks like and then decide against it? Or am i pretty much stuck into changing once i use it? Still kinda on the fence of changing to either catgirl or maybe High lady after seeing all these beautiful glamors in the thread :v: going from a midlander btw

If you want to preview a different race/appearance you can always use a retainer fantasia on one of your retainers. You even have the option of decking your retainers out in your outfits/glamours to see how they look.

A friend told me casually that he got 3 lines last week and he wasn't sure which 3rd tier reward to pick so he went with the 60 crafter chestpiece over the 70 nin chestpiece.

The 70 nin chest was selling for 5.7 mill at the time

The first scholasticate quest was pretty good as an introduction, but all of the ones after that were just incredibly boring. I had zero interest in any of the characters and tbh I still can't even remember what they were about. A murder? A kidnapping? Too disinterested to look it up.

"Actually let me tell you why crafting in this game is bad"

(Not calling out anyone in this thread, but these guys do seem to be becoming more common since ARR)

Not me! I levelled the hard way (my poor e-wallet) and came up with my own rotation along the way which I used right up to level 60 until I did some research and realised I was doing it all completely wrong! :haw:

Oh hey, looks like they're adding compact versions of the Job UI elements. There's only the JP Blog, but the images speak for themselves.

This looks really good. Also they added a countdown for the Hotshot buff to the MCH guage so they might be doing something similar for other jobs.

Still lolling at the MCH "buff". At this point i'm just gonna accept that adding a hot shot meter to the job guage is this patches real mch buff.

Oxygen Deficiency
May 19, 2008



Mainly it's that the heat mechanic is confusing as hell and hard to work into rotations. That plus MCH's already random-focused 1-2-3 combo means that pumping out your max dps is harder than ever.

I read a post on reddit that described that to get the most out of MCH's dps in single-target fights, overheating for every time wildfire is off cooldown is actually worse than overheating for every 2nd or third one. It's kinda bonkers really.

Also flamethrower, while awesome looking, doesn't have a lot of utility.

We have a summoner in our static right now and take him into O4S. Bahamut can be janky and hopefully they adjusted it some. He's just hoping the size slider will allow him to make bahamut bigger.

His size is based on your own Bahamut-slider setting iirc. So you can set it to be as big/small as you like but other people won't necessarily see it the same.

Oxygen Deficiency

I don't know if it was coincedence or not, but by making the heated shots so loving amazing looking it really makes you try your best to stay in-between 50-95 heat. That hollow feeling when you overheat and lose your loving sick Bayonetta-style kicks and flips....shameful.

I'm still only halfway through the 4.1 msq but (spoilers) the scene where you talk with Fordola in the prison cell and she sees your past might be my favourite voiced scene in the game.

Also my favourite part of the new raid was when you get hit by Trample for the first time. It was worth it for the unique animation.

Right. Very newbish housing question as i've never touched it before. I have a cottage in Mist and I want to make it look like a hingan cottage. Is this possible? Will I need to purchase a hingan cottage permit to do that? Also if this is the case, as I suspect, will I need to remove the existing house and/or the stuff inside?

They hosed up a couple of mechanics translations in this patch actually, what with Kelpie doing the opposite of what he says.

I actually think this was a pretty great idea. Keeps you focused on the whole fight. The actual poo poo boss of Skalla is poisontongue. "Okay so I managed to successfully aviod killling the party with the donut, sure my dps suffered a little but I can make it up late- THAT loving TAIL SWEEP"

DRK 30-50 is really bad and dumb and forces a ton of characterization upon the WoL that the rest of the game wisely avoids doing. The 50-60 questline is much better and actually tells a nice little story and is one of the better HW ones. I haven't touched DRK in SB but since everyone keeps saying it follows from 30-50 I imagine it has to be bad as well.

You are entitles to your opinions. I am also entitled to my opinion that your are wrong and bad.

Lots of people have died for you in this game. You don't know their names or mourn them to the same degree. People more recently have died for the Warrior of Light. It doesn't get into the same hamfisted hero worship for anyone but him. There wasn't any of this for Gosetsu, who the WoL should have no idea is actually alive.

It goes beyond the scope of the the character when it defines what your reaction to events are so strictly and attached presumptions of a players feelings towards a character is terrible, inconsistent writing. The game's more than happy to let you go your own way about things but all WoL's are obsessed with the fact Hboy died. To drag it out far and beyond its original scope is crap.


It's possible that the game devs picked up on how popular Haurchefant was in the fanbase and injected him into most of the msq stuff. I can definitely picture them thinking "we need to have the wol remember a dead friend here who should we pick? let's go with the popular dude".

Actually (DRK SB quests spoilers), when SB dropped, I was doing the DRK quests and remember some people predicting that the 70 quest would involve Haurchefant which I think would have been a really bad idea for several reasons and I don't even hate the character all that much. I'm really glad they didn't go that route, not that they had any reason to.
