In Final Fantasy XIV, your class is determined by your equipped weapon, and you can change your weapon anywhere in the overworld. When a combat class reaches level 30, completing the associated job quest gives you a soul crystal that turns that class into a job. Every job has its own unique abilities and gear, as well as a selection of role abilities shared among all jobs of a certain type. Some jobs are available at character creation, while some require meeting certain story milestones to unlock. For information about each class's abilities and play styles, visit the Job Guide.

At this point I've just shrugged and written it off as a lost weekend. I'm peeved at getting stuck at the wall but I'm going to just do something else until either the camel successfully squeezes through the eye of the needle or they implement actual fixes, no point in staring down the instance entrances in the meantime

TheHeadSage posted:I suspect the empire will launch the counter attack on Doma, and we'll see Ala Mhigo descend into a rather nasty civil war because Lyse will discover that while passion, idealism and fighting skills will help liberate your nation, they are going to do gently caress all when the population decides that now is the time to work out some old grievances and resume the original conflict that the empire interrupted That'd be tough to resume because the previous civil war was the monarchy vs. the monks, and neither really exist any more

In re Haurchefant His death is arguably affecting in a way that other significant characters' weren't. Many of the allies the Warrior of Light has lost along the way gave their lives to achieve an important goal, like Moenbryda setting up the destruction of Nabriales, Papalymo sealing Omega or Gosetsu allowing the revolutionaries to escape, Haurchefant was the victim of a vindictive pot shot from a retreating enemy and died unnecessarily. He was willing to put his and his family's reputation on the line to help the WoL, and paid his life for it.

vOv posted:That made me realize: this is probably a dumb question, but is the 'orchestral-sounding' for this game like Moebius actually recorded or is it all made on computers? Except for Answers/Dragonsong/Revolutions, all the orchestrations in FFXIV are synthesized. They're very high-quality synthesis, but still synthesis nonetheless.

The amount of new content per patch has decreased since ARR but that's because they're trying to find a sustainable development pace that doesn't utterly burn out the studio. The reason 3.1 was a month later than usual was because everybody in the office was completely frazzled after months of pushing out 2.x series patches while trying to get Heavensward out the door. They've decided to maintain the quarterly patch pace, but creating less art assets per patch.

There's a quest you need to do before you can craft prisms. If you've already done it, the recipe book you need to buy is available from Goberin in Western Thanalan. Quit being a jerk if you don't actually know the answer to the question.

Rhjamiz posted:So I just started a free trial and chose Lancer so I could eventually jump everywhere. I've heard good things about this game but so far it feels very... well, I don't see what sets it apart yet. Level 15 currently. Is there a place where it really picks up? The game is designed to be a very gentle introduction to MMOs, so it has a slow build-up. Dungeons start getting more difficult and you start getting more of your combat abilities around lv.30~35 or so.

Cythereal posted:My God I've wanted to kill that brat since ARR. What part of "Everything you touch turns to poo poo, gently caress off you insufferable brat" is so hard for the game to understand about the moron? Have you actually played the game since ARR? He spends all of Heavensward atoning for letting someone take advantage of his inexperience and acquits himself pretty well throughout the whole resolution of the Dragonsong War.

Cythereal posted:Yes, and I still loathe him. He's not as terrible now as he used to be, but I'd much rather spend time with characters I actually like, like Y'shtola, Alisae, Lyse, Hien, and Yugiri. How do you find Alphinaud completely terrible but think Hien is effective or good?

I've decided to leave the offsite forum offline for now because it costs money, but it is very rarely actually used by anyone, and gives newbies the impression that nobody plays this game any more. I'll probably put it back online in preparation for Shadowbringers if there's a need for it

Samuringa posted:Yea, that all sounds terrible, I'll just pass on this altogether. It really just boils down to that you're going to have a much easier time playing this game if you just use your abilities from the toolbar and gradually learn the job, rather than trying to figure out how to wrangle the bare-bones macro system into playing for you, then reaching a point where you can't do that any more and having to completely learn your job from scratch. People aren't telling you not to use macros for reasons of elitism or gatekeeping. They're telling you not to use macros because they're unreliable and inflexible, and you're paradoxically making things harder for yourself by trying to make it easier.

rantmo posted:Oh I'm sure it's easy, I just don't want to have to go and do a whole new thing. It's pure sloth. Part of the reason I set up the auth process is as a basic screening for whether people can follow simple directions and understand rules so that they are less likely to cause problems in the future, and I’m not especially sympathetic to people who can’t manage that...
