Vermain posted:He thinks, essentially, that you've been spoiled rotten by your gifts and haven't really accomplished anything on your own. He makes a deal with Hydaelyn to strip you of your blessing of Light (the thing that protects you from the power of the Ascians) and turn its aether into a new, physical form that he can follow you around with. After your meeting with Tiamat, he becomes convinced you're the real deal, and you regain the blessing. I thought we were regaining the blessing on our own. It was just an excuse to kill off Moenbryda and had no actual bearing on anything else in the game.

MechaCrash posted:One of the cool things is that the Paladin quests can acknowledge "yeah you met this guys before." For example, one of the NPCs is a guy who asked you to make him a sword in the Blacksmith quests, and when you run into him he says "hey you made me a rad sword, but I won't dishonor it or you by going easy!". And I thought that was neat. Unfortunately, I doubt the recognition would go the other way, because that would require touching old content, and old content has cooties. That was a great callback and I'm glad I took the time to level the crafting classes before Stormblood. Though when Nanamo mentioned founding an Ala Mhigan jewelers' school in the MSQ, I felt guilty for not having done the Stormblood Goldsmith quests yet. Biggest disappointment of the expansion is that they didn't feature Widargelt as a main character like Heavensward did Estinien.

Vanderdeath posted:I did the HW PLD storyline just a few months ago and I'm struggling to recall any of it. That's because nothing happened. What's his name from the ARR story faked his death and you follow the trail. There's a stolen sword he's retrieving, he gets it and you fight him to draw out its power. Debated spoiling that because it doesn't feel like there's anything to spoil. Not like DRK's, which was awesome.

Aside from the PLD skill, has this game had any nods to the disaster of a movie?Safeword posted:Just finished the Sylph area and gained a massive speed boost to my Chocobo, promptly zoomed off a cliff. Healbo. Birb works best as a health bump when you start taking bounties and doing beast tribes, even if you're healer it lets you focus more on killing enemies. As a bonus, the WHM barding you get at level 10 looks cute. Kaubocks posted:so you can watch videos on the side duh Yeah, ambient music makes it harder to listen to ebooks and podcasts while fishing.

Alder posted:Anyone else conflicted with fantasia just for glams? I've switched a few times but every time I see a new female glam I'm like this close to changing back but money. Somedays I just feel like wearing a pretty dress but player limitations. Now that squad glams are a thing there's another way to display your gender-locked gear and actually take it out into the field with command missions. It's given me an excuse to buy the old seasonal gear I couldn't equip myself and shove it into the armoire. Though I don't actually use it since I put my squad in Maelstrom gear. I've doubled down on ARR hunts because I must needs having my crew running around in the elite set.

Thinking about what happened to Zenos' body. We know it's an Ascian, but which is it? My stupid guess: Zenos had merged with Shinryu, who was created using the eyes of Nidhogg, which were previously used by Thordan to devour Lahabrea's aether. I really hope it's him somehow, I want to see how much of a joke he still is with Zenos' strength.

The Grimace posted:...the original director of 1.0 before he got shoved to the side for being terrible? That explains a lot. An open world group monster hunting area would be a fun thing to do if it was done right, Eureka hasn't been that at all. Giving it its own level system, complete with deleveling, which hasn't been a thing in MMOs for over a decade, was the base mistake everything else has been built upon. I thought ARR and HW relics were a bit too grindy in places and maybe aside from books, Eureka has them beat.

I like how there's nothing of value in the app worth paying for. A retainer costs $2 a month on the mog station, so they're basically saying that having more bird bagspace and the ability to manage retainer inventories offline is worth $3 more than that. Paying real money every time you want to make or change a single MB listing is even worse. It feels like there was a mandate from Squenix to push a tie-in app with microtransactions and they just rushed out something only the world's biggest idiots would pay money for. Hobgoblin2099 posted:I'm honestly amazed that Onokoro is so dead. I thought it'd be the new Quarrymill. If they give it a Kinna equivalent, people will be back. Everyone who had at least 100 tomestones in the currency tab by Monday night reset could be able to buy an i370 by the end of next week with a little effort so there's not much demand for the current HoH weapon. Also, the 60-70 grind isn't very hard on alt jobs. super sweet best pal fucked around with this message at 12:33 on Aug 15, 2018 |

CYBEReris posted:I think one of the things that plays into tanxiety is the uncertainty of whether your gear will be sufficient, especially after the awkward halfway-point of an expansion where your tomestone gear starts to fall off, and at cap before you've farmed the literally 100 ilvls between starter and relevant gear. I know I'm way behind at this point. I'll probably beg in DGKK for a few carries later.

Boogalo posted:ARR was a mess of one marker doing different things in different fights so thank god they cut that poo poo out. I like having AoE markers that say things like "stack up to split damage", "put someone on the point so the damage doesn't hit the entire party" or "don't look at this when it goes off". Gives the battles depth.
