My first feeling so far is They've done a really effective job in making Sin Eaters feel terrifying. Not just That Scene but even in the first dungeon you just seem them swooping down and cocooning anything they find, from which emerges horrible distorted broken versions of them seeking only to devour flesh and souls. Even if they don't kill you they can infect you. They're basically uberzombies

Man. I just finished Shadowbringers and I gotta say, that kicked Stormblood's poo poo up and down the curve. They *nailed* this expansion. The mere fact they made me care about Minfilia and the Warrior of Darkness as characters is loving bonkers.

Fister Roboto posted:I have to say the conclusion to Eulmore's story felt really unsatisfying to me. Their whole society is based top to bottom on the exploitation of the lower class in order to sustain their hedonistic euphoria (hey, that's the name of the city!) while the world crumbles around them. But I guess all you have to do is take out the guy in charge of everything, maybe have a really smart guy lecture them about how bad they've been, and suddenly they all come to their senses and become really nice people? Humans just don't work like that. I guess this really is a fantasy story. It's worth remembering that a lot of them genuinely did not know how awful they were being. Which does not excuse their behavior, as Alphanerd said, it does recontextualize it. They thought they were helping people a lot of the time and unfortunately bought fully into the crazy death cult that suggested they were in the right. Once they get it thrown in their face they realize how awful they have been while they were trying to be nice. We see the other part in guys like the general and the leader who were both pretty much "gently caress you all." In reality there should have been a lot more gently caress You Alls but on the other hand they don't really have the power to say go gently caress yourself without Sin Eaters backing them up.

The music was so, so, so on point this expansion. Like yeah, FFXIV having good music is no shock, but the music was off the loving charts in Shadowbringers. (spoilers in this song link) https://www.yout ube.com/watch?v=NBIRYjP1NNM Like this loving song right here is just used for a bonus dungeon after you finish the MSQ and it I can't stop listening to it

Kanfy posted:Doing 6 FATEs per zone is also worth it to unlock the riding maps from the gem vendors, at least if you haven't learned to fly in the zone yet since it also makes doing the main quest easier. You end up with a decent chunk of experience from it too. Note that if you have the motorcycle mount it automatically has increased movement speed.

Mormon Mother posted:In my experience, one defiance overpower was enough to hold aggro during a wall pull all through stormblood (I didn't play warrior in ARR or HW so I can't speak for that), barring the very rare few times. It seems like it happens at least once per dungeon now. Even when running with pubs or the group of friends that I play with. Like I said, it's not a big deal or anything, just an observation. I can say at least in SB when I went Full Black Mage at the start of a pull it would be hard for a lot of tanks to keep off me unless I used diversion

Vermain posted:I don't think anyone except lunatics are expecting people to be doing mass pulls in leveling dungeons in the first week of an expansion's lifecycle. I'd rather people act in a way that's predictable enough for me to be able to plan around cooldown usage instead of doing single pack pulls until they decide to suddenly pull everything in an entire corridor at once. I had a tank demand I do wall-to-wall healing pulls my very first time in the level 69 dungeon.

Cao Ni Ma posted:SMN definitely feels like it could use one less mechanic in it, either the aetherflow system or the pet control one. I'm thinking fester isnt long for this world if they expand further on the pet aspect next expansion. Yeah, to be honest, it's such a weird mishmash. I honestly think they should just dump the aetherflow system and focus more on pet attack weaving. I know it's a legacy thing but it really doesn't fit the class. As it stands you could just put Fester/Pain on a cooldown/charge system and nothing would change.

Edmond Dantes posted:Re: macros, from my last post. I do have to wonder what the total loss over the course of a fight is versus the average loss from mis-presses or missed cooldowns. While obviously the ideal is building the muscle memory not to make those mistakes, I wonder if there is a point for jobs like Bard where it's easier to just macro the gently caress out of it and eat lost cooldowns for more reliability.

It's just something I was wondering since I've seen a lot of Bard players in the new dungeons who I know are leaving Bloodletter/Barrage/etc unused for longer than they need to and I was wondering if the DPS loss from that was worse than the creeping loss from a macro.

Vermain posted:I think the 71 and 73 dungeons might be slightly overtuned for your average person's ilvl, to be honest. Holminster is loving miserable as AST due to the loss of Celestial Opposition's stun and fewer strong, long duration HoT options, and while it's better on WHM, your average tank is still going to get clobbered by even single pulls. The 75 dungeon onwards feels much better, even if your tank decides to Rambo down an entire hallway. I think people are just not using their tools. I've done it as both healers and tank and as a Warrior I have tons of options. Raw Intuition is a 20% defense buff for 6 seconds on a 25 second cooldown which is really bonkers when you think about it. They also have a massive self heal.

Fordola's new life of being kept imprisoned and only trotted out to put down primals sounds frankly shittier than what happened to Yotsuyu, so I'm not sure death was the worst possible outcome there. At least she has a sorta-boyfriend now?
