YOU WILL TREAT TG CID WITH THE PROPER FEAR AND HUMILITY HE IS OWED.

alternate alternate post: Found the loser who never played FFT!

I owned an original PS1 copy of FFT, the one that went for like $100 on secondary markets for a long time because they didn't press enough copies. I played the poo poo out of it. :colbert:

Nevertheless, FFXIV's treatment makes his personality a bit more, uh, grandiose than I originally pictured him. Butt I don't mean that in a bad way, fight is fun and the constant give commentary just adds to it.

It's it Acamedician or Academician? Because the second is actually a word that exists but I've seen the former used a couple of times now.

Oracle of Light is a badass job name for Minifilia. She'll foretel your destiny using the light that shines through you after she pokes you full of holes.

You'll never guess what your destiny is!

actually no, Academician is hilarious for other reasons, because it's Alphi calling himself not just smart, but also a special kind of smart

Yeah that's basically saying he's a Super Extra Scholar.

Agreed, the ending was quite touching.

Come to think of it, I haven't seen Alpha and OMG out in the wild lately. Are they still around?

Pretty sure they are, but unless you spend a lot of time roaming around in the wilderness (which not a lot of people at level cap do unless you're running hunts for some reason) you aren't going to see them much.

Actually they'd show up while you're doing other jobs won't they. I just don't see them because I have maxed everything out already. :(

As someone who never even finished Omega and is a huge FFT fanboy, I have to say that the Ivalice stuff was really boring and I am far more attached to the character of Omega, the evil killer robot, than anyone from the Ivalice storyline.

You should finish Omega normal at least because the story gets pretty solid right in the last couple fights. Also the fights are good.

It turns out MCU Peter Parker plays FFXIV and he's mad that he came back after the snap to find that they'd demolished his beach mansion.

Just handing you the i90 gear is kind of an apology for the upcoming post-Praetorium msq grind, so you don't have to spend time obtaining equipment in dungeons if you don't have a sugar daddy to craft stuff for you.

On the other hand just imagine how much longer MSDR would take if half the party was i45-50 on top of the unskippable cutscenes.

Given the stinger at the end of the Return to Ivalice quests, we will definitely see a Math (Savage) boss at some point in the future.

I'm down for more puzzle fights as long as they're interesting and have at least some variability. Bardam sub boss 2 and Haley Normal's sand trap are both neat but suffer for being exactly the same every time you do them.

Can we all at least agree that players who refuse to AOE because "the attacks do less damage" should be sterilized?

Look if those players were able to math, there would have been a lot fewer Ridorania wipes.

For the first time ever playing this game I have no main quest in my upper left. I am caught up.

Now I have a week to hem and haw over which job to start in the xpack. I think it comes down to transmog. Anyone know of a Red Mage rapier that is just a nice normal sized fancy rapier and nothing too huge or glowy?

The diamond tuck from o8s is pretty fancy without being too gaudy.

It's always at least three days (I think? Unless they reduced it) after he's defeated before he appears again. Usually when he does somebody will mention in hunt LS / novice chat / FC / whatever that Tension weather is up, so no need to spend every waking minute in the Shroud waiting for him.

His weather status was originally called Oppression but they changed it for some reason.

Not sure if you're just now getting to this point in the MSQ but... this is not the good kind of horny.

the far east is better because azim steppe is the best zone in the game

It would have been if they let you cross the bridge into the open plains instead of keeping you in a boxed off valley dominated by a giant goatse bowl.

The NPCs in the steppe and the music are both solid at least.

If you play with Japanese audio he's incredibly gay coded and it was really gross. I have no idea what he sounds like in English so they probably dropped that part of his character.

Edit: gross as in let's make him a gay villain for laughs, not that he is gay, just to clarify.

In English he's fairly bombastic but pretty much his entire characterization is "ooooh that darn WoL, I'll show them!".

If you didn't pre-order ShB, any system updates marked as 2.0/3.0/4.0 will still apply to your game on Friday (up to the highest expansion you actually own), but you won't be able to level past 70, enter ShB zones, or do any content marked 5.0-only. In practice this means your jobs will work differently but you'll still be limited to playing in older content areas.

If you pre order during early access my guess is everything will open up for you immediately.
