So is there any point in sitting in The Fringes trying to get into the Raubahn instance? Or should I just give up and go play another game for a while?

So the Stormblood MSQ has a few mentions of a Hyur and a Lalafell pair following you, e.g. here and here, and I don't think it ever got resolved who they were or why they were following us. I suppose it could be Raubahn and Pipin from the description but that doesn't make sense to me. Anyone able to shed some light on this?

MotU posted:every single fight i can fall off a thing i do so this was probably the most stressful fight for me ever Is this a general problem with failing to get out of AoEs in time? If so you might want to turn on "legacy movement" in your character settings - I didn't discover this until several months after I started playing and it made things enormously easier.

So I'm a SMN main who hasn't even bothered doing the quest to unlock SCH yet, but these DPS queue times are tempting me to pick it up. What are the best things to run to get the hang of healing in this game? Obviously I'd start with Hall of the Novice and then Sastasha, but what should I do after that to make sure I'm ready to do Expert Roulette, Trials, etc?

Die Sexmonster! posted:Just keep doing story and job quests. Be sure to check out the 50 and 60 dungeons! To clarify: because I have SMN at 70 I already will have SCH at 70 the moment it's unlocked. That means I won't pick up experience as I level, because there's no leveling to do. So I'm looking for advice on what to do to substitute for that.

Deltascape was solid (and screw all the FFV crap, the story was excellent because it remembered Midgardsormr existed). V3 was by far my favorite fight, and it'll be exciting to see all the ways PUGs can screw it up!

Renegret posted:The time part isn't that big a deal because of swiftcast, but it also means no fast rezes for a full minute. A single raise isn't too bad on MP either, the problem comes when you have to do it repeatedly. As a SMN I'll usually toss a swiftraise at someone if I don't see the healers do it in a few seconds and I've got MP to spare. Not like I have anything else worth using swiftcast for.

Healers, not tanks, have been the bottleneck in most of the PF parties I've been in since Stormblood came out, especially the extreme primals. Not sure how to square this with tanks getting the In Need bonus in roulettes but it's definitely been the case.

Has anyone found Y'shtola or Krile in the world somewhere after the Stormblood MSQ? I found Alphinaud and Alisaie in The Barber in Rhalgr's Reach (and Alisaie has an excellent line of dialogue there), and Lyse is in the command tent in NE Rhalgr's Reach.

Nicaden posted:After a few runs at Susano EX, I heard my party members talking about the enrage timer and how close we were cutting it each attempt. I was wondering if there was a way to keep track of when a boss will enrage? My teammates seem to know exactly when the boss will enrage, and I was hoping to find out how they know. All of the mechanics in Susano happen based on time, not HP. The enrage happens just after the third Gaol phase. So it's pretty easy to judge how close you were.

I also only bothered to unlock the Gold Saucer in the last week before Stormblood. I really regret doing it because now my chat is constantly spammed with messages about where I can or can't play Triple Triad.

Magil Zeal posted:There is at least one thing that is important for gear that you can't buy with tomestones and that's grade VI materia. The current system of only really being able to get it via hunts isn't great but it's not from tomestones. The expert roulette dungeons seem to be dropping grade V and VI materia like candy though. Isn't that how most people do the weekly tomestone grind? So it's not like you're really doing anything different to get materia than you are to get tomestones. (That said, randomly doing hunts to break up my crafting/gathering leveling grind has been a lot of fun over the last week or so. Glad I joined that hunt linkshell.) jalapeno_dude fucked around with this message at 00:16 on Jul 12, 2017 |

Yeah. The problem is that the triple turn-in leves give 50% more xp then others of the same level, but the gain in XP from doing higher-level leves is much less than that (maybe like 5-10% more XP for a 62 leve than for a 60 leve, for example). So you still win by doing the triple turn-ins. Also most/all of the crafting classes have a triple turn-in leve that requires an intermediate material rather than a finished product (wood or thread or leather vs. a finished product), so not only does it give better XP it's actually significantly less work to make. Yes you get more XP for making all the intermediate mats in the process of crafting the finished product, but not nearly enough to make it worth it.

A 50S RAYGUN posted:this isn't even true, though. the mol are the leader of the steppe warriors now. you simply leverage hien's relationship with them into having them help with doma. This doesn't contradict the post you quoted. Leader != leading tribe (or more precisely you're an honorary member of the Mol after doing Bardam's Mettle and so your tribe = the ruling tribe = the Mol). Go back and talk to the various tribe leaders--it's pretty explicit in their dialogue.

Poops Mcgoots posted:Yeah, that's wrong. You were acting as a warrior fighting in the name of the Mol. Just cause you were the one that ultimately claimed the territory doesn't make you head of the Mol. Did you miss the many many times in the MSQ after that point you're addressed as khagan? e.g. Magnai's dialogue after the end of the MSQ: ...for you are the khagan...for now. I don't think this is supposed to be confusing. EDIT: It's true that you're not the head of the Mol, but you *are* the khagan.

SKULL.GIF posted:It is very amusing to me that all everyone discusses is the Azim Steppes. Fringes, Peaks, Ruby Sea, Yanxia, Lochs? Nope. It's all the Steppes. Square-Enix did something very right with the Steppes and something very wrong with the other regions. IMO a lot of it is about the music. In the Azim Steppes it's *amazing*; that choral action gives me chills. The Ala Mhigo music is nothing special (except for the national anthem motif which is nice but not really actively present in the zone music) and Yanxia's music was actively grating to me.

Everyone else is a 1 note trope that hasn't developed at all in the now 4 years of playing this game, including the one who just starred throughout an entire expansion.

Their grandfather was not just a big deal in general, but was the founder of the Scions (back when they were called the Archons or something like that, never actually played 1.0). So the twins are benefiting big time from nepotism.

Like yeah, I like Alisaie, she is a likable character and Alphinaud isn't as affable but being likable doesn't make her a good character at loving all. She is, "The brash youth who wants to cut through the bullshit to get poo poo done." and has absolutely no other aspects to her character. None. 0. That is her entire existence. She functions as a tool to throw at a plotpoint when cutting through the bullshit is what's needed and otherwise has no relevance. jalapeno_dude fucked around with this message at 07:41 on Jul 13, 2017 |

Countblanc posted:urianger calls her "my lady" but he calls literally all the female characters that Hmm, maybe it's just this. Definitely parsed their interactions in 3.x (where Urianger seemed more ashamed of deceiving Alisaie than the rest of the Scions re the Warriors of Darkness stuff) and when he shows up abruptly to hand over the aetherial siphon in Stormblood that way. But hiking back to the Waking Sands I see that it's Moenbryda he refers to as "my dearest", so maybe not.

It was a good way to get an efficient stream of crafting and gathering scrips in 3.x. Haven't leveled a DoH or DoL to 70 yet, so not sure if it gives yellow scrips once you do; if it stays with red scrips though once it's basically useless at this point.
