That's never been the case? Every version of the game doesn't heal your HP/MP on job or ability switching?

You can survive Almagest at a lower level than you’d think if you use shell. Regen counteracts sap, so having someone sub time magic for haste and regen is a Big Brain Move.

Fun fact, apparently in Pixel Remaster Almagest ignores shell!

Here's a hot tip - give your Berserker the Dancing Dagger. When those Sword Dances come out it's silly. Basically worth it up until the Rune Axe.

Also Caves of Narshe has the wrong numbers apparently, it said that Thor's Hammer had 78 attack and the Titan's Axe has 88. The Final Fantasy Wiki has the correct numbers from a glance, which led me to learning something interesting: the Rune Axe and Titan's Axe have a hit rate of 90, compared to 80 for every other axe/hammer. That's neat and definitely boosts their usefulness.

I loving KNEW that the Rune Axe hit more often and it wasn't just confirmation bias!

Don’t foresee this being an issue as I’m in the Merry Olde U.K. … These have been some glowing goonly words for FF14 - it sounds great and I think that I will probably get involved & buy a PS4 for it and Monster Hunter World. Haven’t played an MMO in many moons!

Just the fact that you said "many moons" means you're in the exact right mindset to enjoy XIV.

I ran back and forth to get that Zodiac Spear for a long time. That place is deadly and it took like ten runs back and forth before monsters stopped spawning on the way there. I don't really think it was worth it. A rare chest in a postgame-leveled area like that was just pure awful. I don't know if I even ended up using it!

Second Gilgamesh is an unforgiving fight, yes. You can't overprepare for it enough. I can't give any specific advice since it's been a while, but I definitely did it while Reddas was still in the party, which helped a bunch if only to have someone extra throwing around Phoenix Downs.

I don't think I did the fishing in FF12 but I also hate fishing so that probably tracks. You can steal Wyrmhero Blades in trial mode, so I just did that.

As far as I can tell there's only been one PLAYABLE character. Females are part of the party and story, but like pre-patch XV it seems like they're just going to be AI buddies. I haven't looked too deeply into it though, someone can tell me if I'm wrong.

More or less correct. You can't be permanently locked out of anything. Some chests might still have low spawn rates though.

The performance issues are nixed now that the day 1 patch is available to previewers. This has been happening more and more lately, stay vigilant about issues that might only exist before games go out to all consumers.

It's all good. For people like me who can mostly only manage one run per fiesta, berserker risk is oddly limiting. I like not knowing what to expect, and having an inevitable Berserker kind of gets in the way of that.
