Cythereal posted:The Garleans may be asshat Romans, but one thing I have to give them is their loving style. I'd probably play as one given the option just because they tend to look so much cooler than the Alliance. That's the real reason everyone is waiting for the Garlean expansion. We finally get a whole lot of access to their duds and fancy super-carbon fiber threads and galvanized titanium plates and whatnot.

SwissArmyDruid posted:SAM question: It's another oGCD but really you don't need to work much for Third Eye. It has a stupidly short CD and Merciful eyes, while weaker than Second Wind, is pretty much always up (same issue with Bloodbath, you can theoretically get 4x Merciful Eyes per Bloodbath.) Seigen has a Kenki cost because otherwise it'd be a free 200 potency attack every 15 second spaced roomwide AoE's a boss has.

Past 60 you'll probably want to do more PVP although I've been getting a level a day just running the highest dungeon (using roulettes to get classes to 61 beforehand) even with long wait times (which I use for gathering/crafting xp.) POTD experience tapers off at 60.

Flames have a muted blue coloration going which isn't great (tied with their muted green hats and etc. which is even worse.) Black however, is always stylish.

Leveling DRG I wish other people would goad me. First I'd have to actually get an instance with another non-caster DPS though. I'd even settle for caster DPS that know how to AoE properly!

The armoury bonus kicks in for anything you level that's not at your max level (IE, you're at 46 so anything up to that gets the bonus) so you can try out classes whenever you want. Serious leveling of another class should wait until you've gotten your main up until at least 61 at the earliest. With the glut of sidequests and having instant queues though you can very easily get to 70 and go from there.

SwissArmyDruid posted:I would not attribute the X-attack to a matter of ownership. Turns out a lot of people use that X-attack. There's an antagonist's lieutenant in the SAM quests who also uses it. The Garlean Gunblades are standard issue and everyone who uses them seems to have Innocence and the delayed X slash. Also it can't be van Hydrus' because remember, he used a Gun-claymore

Touchfuzzy posted:Yeah, but. Two more notches against that theory are that both died where it could be reasonable to assume that their blades couldn't be recovered and Zenos specifically said 'give your blade to the Butcher,' meaning said Garlean mauve shirt was being demoted in addition to giving her a Gunblade. SwissArmyDruid posted:The person who used it in the SAM quests was a Hyur, and was using a plain ol' katana. Oh right, that battle. Pretty sure he was using crazy Hissatsu that we don't learn (although the second similar fight also has them and they're a rather close Guren analogue.)

Bell_ posted:My potato's defeats against the big guy were unwelcome at first, but built in my mind my character must be obsessed with fighting that guy. She might have dumpstered gods, but his power injected humility and a terrible hunger into her. When 4.0 ended, I knew I'd have to take up a katana because he "got her" or at least what she's become. The neatest part of that section is how they tied gameplay with the story. As soon as I saw Zenos was level 70 to my 61 I knew it wouldn't end well. And they kept that consistent too!

Also as someone who mains dungeons for leveling having one every 2 levels is good. Keeps things moving even when the last dungeon gets a bit of the short stick (which is a further motivator to actually getting there for another class.)Harrow posted:I'm not sure why "random drops with bad luck protection" is something nobody ever seems to do. Something like: The two glaring flaws (aside from it already being implemented) that you're not seeing is the 'reasonable amount of runs' thing. Invariably that number is going to be larger than a player wants and yet smaller than the design team intends for content longevity, having the bad luck protection being currency in a dungeon's case also future-proofs that dungeon for inclusion into content designed to get people to run old stuff. Prime example: 99 tokens to get a primal mount guaranteed is ideal for content longevity but horrid in a 'reasonable amount of runs' perspective. The other glaring flaw is that such a system depends on the content it's designed around, both in a player fun factor and in a 'time spent doing this content' factor. Invariably people will get bored of running stuff no matter how much they love it which leads to the Brayflox Hard problem of people blitzing the content and burning out on it (and the whole game in general.) Both of these aren't problems that any system can 100% solve. It's up to the designers to pick their philosophy, stick to it and adjust it with feedback from the playerbase.

Yoshi's also said to some effect that the 1.0 code actively prevents them from doing so (because apparently all of our inventories travel with us on every zone in.)

Argas posted:I've a lot of issues with that arc but its overall its length felt right. You got to do the right amount of stuff (not necessarily in each zone) and it felt like it ended when it should've. I agree with this. Also I feel that Doma is more a 'proof of concept' type endeavor coupled with getting stronger via experience. Fundamentally it's main point is 'ok we were on the right track with this revolution thing and what we were doing and now we can properly challenge the one thing that screwed us over.' The other point is the excellent Doma Theme

Concerning all the downed Imperial Aircraft you find strewn about the SB zones: They're much like real world aircraft in that the main thing that keeps them afloat is not getting hit in the first place. Most are assault crafts which took all of 5-6 shots from a dinky Anti-Air battery in Castrum Meriandum. Fact of the matter is we haven't seen much of the one size larger than that outside of shots from cutscenes, heck the main one I remember is Gaius doing his grand ol' 'Emperor arrives at the Death Star' scene in 2.0. We've gotten more exposure to the Big Huge ships (the Agrias and the Gration) than we have the bigger-than-assault craft ships despite there only being 2 of those huge ones in existence I'm pretty sure the Alliance hasn't shot down any of those and we saw what it took to give the Gration some trouble (RIP Ysayle) EponymousMrYar fucked around with this message at 09:02 on Jul 13, 2017 |

This is at least the fourth or fifth time the WoL has been tasked with picking literal poo poo up off the ground, it's practically our hobby at this point. Even then people here haven't focused on it nearly enough as much as the requisite quests in WoW. Probably because FFXIV knows how to frame it's quests properly: you're not just doing it for them you're doing it

At the bottom of Aquapolis, occasionally the chest will contain 65 green cherries that rot upon leaving the instance. There may also be a non-hostile yeti there doing the moogle dance. There have been no instances where they have both existed in that room at the same time.

SKULL.GIF posted:I also think the postgame Pool of Tribute / Emanation should have been classified as (Hard), not (Extreme). They feel way more like Garuda/Titan/Ifrit Hard than G/T/I EX. It's a shame that we won't get to see a proper Extreme version of Susano and Lakshmi where the fight is pushed to its limits. One of the main reasons every Primal fight past the first three only has Hard and Extreme modes is because they're 8 man parties only. Normal modes are for 4 people

SonicRulez posted:It sort've bothers me. If I ran it a few times I'd just memorize which ones do which, but I don't play it enough. It bothers me because it's one of the very few mechanics that I feel you can only get after you've been hit by it. In the early game you get introduced to a fair number of markers, so they're easy to recognize by Stormblood. That one is one where you either know or get smacked though. And then the bitchy NPC tells you how poo poo you were After looking at the boss and seeing one of those abilities pop up my only question was, and I quote 'Is that where he's gonna swing or is that where I've gotta stand? It's probably where he's gonna swing, yeah he swung that way. Wow this dude right next to me got hit this thing has a crazy wide range to it.'

Reiterpallasch posted:as someone who mained a class that was colossally overpowered through all of 3.x: people who main an overpowered class then bleat that "the other classes should be brought up to this level" are actual retards. classes aren't just balanced against each other. the three points of the trinity are balanced against each other. As someone who mained a class that caused people to drop out of groups (or were kicked out of groups because 'lolpld') because it increased their clear time by ~20 seconds (those A1S light farming idiots  ) Squeenix's take on buffing instead of nerfing is a refreshing change, both because it takes more effort and that said effort is noticeable. Lopping potency off of overpowered things is the easy way out and usually doesn't fix the fundamental problems that are actually happening (Pet jankyness with SMN/SCH, WAR&DRK having useless/counterintuitive buttons, DRG having to stick to a battle buddy in addition to a really long lead-up time on their SICK RED DRAGON LASER button etc.)Reiterpallasch posted:the devs gently caress up catastrophically whenever asked to do a lot of design work If new PLD, AST, BRD etc. are catastrophic fuckups they need to catastrophically gently caress up that way some more with everyone else

Generally I like to hold onto LB3 until a boss is around 15%, by that point it's pretty clear whether we'll need it for Healer LB3 to save us from the purgatory of doing the fight again. If we're at 15% and I have not hit that button it's because I'm dead, the boss is doing a move that will make the LB wasted, or we might need it (in which case I'll hit it at 10%.) Only time I'll burn it before then is with bosses that have gimmicks that boost your LB gauge, like the last boss in Sohr Kai or Halicarnassus. There's also a few cool thresholds where you can skip some end boss phases in the dungeons if you do your LB's right, the main ones I know like the back of my hand are: Last Boss of Ruby tide, if she's <20% when she summons the adds to go into her third Thick Fog phase, ignore the adds and LB2 her, that combined with your other DPS will kill her before she wastes a minute of your time. Last boss of Bardam's Mettle: Melee LB2 at 16-17% and you'll skip the Wings phase of the fight (it transitions at 13% after casting Unbound Winds once more. Timing's a bit tight here, if the LB goes off as it jumps that's a wasted LB.) Notably you can't skip the last boss of the Ala Mhigo's final phase. He transitions super-quick at 13% and LB2 only does 8% of his health.
