IcePhoenix posted:personal gut feeling is that we'll be doing stuff with Graha/Krile and Estinien since we know they're going to be in the hub cities for at least the first couple content patches Split the difference. We know Corvus got hosed up by the Terminus Beasts, the worst of ANYWHERE, it's also the original Garlean homeland. There's a non-zero chance that both Island Sanctuary will be there and an ongoing plot of 'Where do we house the tiny fraction of Garleans who actually SURVIVED?'

Wingnut Ninja posted:It seems like it's exactly the same as the ST rotation. Every ST attack has an equivalent AOE attack so you just press that button instead. The main difference is in the Astral Flows. Titan's Astral Flow is single target, but can be spammed after each use of the ST or AoE ability. Ifrit's Astral Flow can be used twice, once for a single target dash attack and once again immediately after for a short range AoE attack. Garuda's is a single use AoE with a castbar where her ST and AoE attacks are instant.

queeb posted:titans astral flow is AOE as well, though its only like 45 potency each for the additional targets Another thing I forgot, Garuda's Astral Flow AoE is a ground-based DoT patch. There's going to be a certain amount of system mastery that comes from when to use a given Astral Flow or member of the Three Amigos on a given encounter. Garuda gives you a lot of instant ability charges, but her attacks are the weakest. Ifrit gives you only two charges and they have cast times, but boy do they hurt. Titan's are instant and somewhere between the two in damage, but also have a medium number of ability charges. Which ones you use when are going to depend on how your tank is pulling, how well enemies are clumping together and how fast everything is melting.

Nodosaur posted:also We already know the answer to this: After the Allag unlocked the secret of growth magic from Sephirot, it became trendy to be huge. This is actually where Gigas come from, people who were stuck as gigantic after the empire fell and the tech to reverse it collapsed. Subsequent generations mutated.

CharlieFoxtrot posted:I thought that moment was rather anticlimactic after what had just come before lol, almost comedic My take on it was: Asahi was an rear end in a top hat, but he was also wronged at least a little in all this. Having him be the one to drag Hermes off to Hell was a nice touch.

Thundarr posted:Sometimes she gets drunk on bean beer. She's also kind of self conscious about being taken seriously by non-Padjal and uses makeup to make herself look older. And her bodyguard has a massive crush on her, but is so intimidated by her that he can't work up the nerve to spit it out. There's a lot of low key stuff about her that's pretty interesting, but her trials are less nation-shaking and more the personal trials and tribulations of being a weird hybrid of Hyur and Elemental.

Begemot posted:They just do a shitload of damage. It's 1300 potency for Akh Morn/Revelation now, when it used to be 600, because you only get one cast each time you summon them instead of two. There is a bit of a taunt on the Demis as well, to offset the damage.

Pharohman777 posted:There is a lot of good stuff they can reference or allude to. Endorph posted:All we really know about the New World is tapirs and mamool ja. The Mamool Ja homeland in FF11 was a rainforest. So I'd expect more of a South American or Amazonian theme if we do ever go there, not a North American or Aztec theme. We don't know a huge amount about the New World other than that there's a reverence towards a Moon God there, and that a Voidsent got curbstomped for trying to impersonate them. And that there are multiple places where Ceruleum can be accessed from near surface deposits. cheetah7071 posted:Dragons own let's go to dragonland I feel like, one way or another, upcoming content will involve dragons, though.

Kerrzhe posted:Akasa/dynamis made perfect sense to me as soon as it was brought up. you know why? because think of the 2 things you need to summon a primal: 1) a bucket of aether crystals and 2) raw emotion. emotion and prayer have always had an inexplicable power in FFXIV and now there's something to finally explain it a bit. i think it works really well. I wonder how many people did the Dancer job quests in Shadowbringers and were just  throughout the entire latter half of this launch.

Professor Beetus posted:LMAO I didn't even think of that. I should have leveled dancer to 90 and done the MSQ on that instead of switching out for machinist. I swapped from MCH to the other during late ShB and liked to rotation so much that I just stayed with it as my main. The MSQ has me jumping at SHADOWS right now regarding that Job.

Xerophyte posted:Alternatively, (EW endgame) 108 stars means that 7.0 will in fact be the start of an extended Suikoden arc. It'll culminate in the world's most fully featured pachinko simulator being added to the Gold Saucer, furthering FF14's hold on the critical Japanese gambler demographic. Julyan Manderville hears about what the Sharlayans are doing to food and establishes Kitchen Stadium.

MechanicalTomPetty posted:I know its unlikely, but I really hope one or more of the remaining Ascians just said "gently caress all this taking over the world poo poo" and settled down somewhere quiet to become a fisherman or w/e. I would be extremely amused if the remaining Red Masks show up and are like 'Azem, we need your help. It's the hired help we brought on. Without Lahabrea, Elidibus and Emet-Selch to keep them in line they've all run off to go into business for THEMSELVES.' And we're just up to our hips in people who treat going Black Mask like lichdom in D&D. Bonus points if Nybeth gets offended at all these people who figure out how to be immortal without dying first.

Tamba posted:The 'flowerpot had as many polygons as a character' was from their own presentation at GDC, not something people made up Some people have argued about how accurate the statement was, but the presentation also talked about the various shaders and so on involved, not just the polycount. After you factor in the code, the flower pot very well may have had as many resources devoted to it as a player character.

CJ posted:The game definitely has a pattern of setting stuff up for the expansion after in the post patches. Yugiri and the Doma stuff is in 2.x, WoD is 3.4, i can't remember if there's anything Endwalker in the 4.x though. I feel like the Seat of Azem reveal in 5.x is a gift that will just keep on giving in this story. I'm still finding little Easter eggs they seem to have put in the environment from the very start tracing back to that. The big thing about 4.x was probably the Light = Stasis and 'stagnant aether' plot, setting up a change in how we saw the cosmology of the setting.

Blueberry Pancakes posted:Speaking of pixies, I know it's mentioned they're made from the souls of children or whatever, but they're not viewed as children, right? Because there's a dwarf thing where you give Tyr Beq some booze and that's really weird otherwise! They aren't children anymore, they're capricious dream creatures. FuturePastNow posted:Aren't Viera supposed be like 90% female because they send their males off to live alone in the wilderness where most of them die? Viera have weird birth rates, the same Mi'qote do, coupled with primary sex characteristics not appearing until after puberty starts.

Hogama posted:It's not like a 1:1 with Lakeland at all but it might help visualization of space to see what 1.0's Mor Dhona looked like outside of cinematics, too. I was misremembering my layout. This has the maps for 1.0 and ARR, we have access to less of Mor Dhona in ARR than we do in 1.0. https://www.ffxivinfo.com/maps/mor-dhona The fun bit is that there was an open world dungeon on the south side of 1.0's Mor Dhona that was labelled as Xande's Tomb. I'm curious about what happened to that, or if there might have been anything interesting to find there. Maybe we'll go back one day? Maybe not.

Gruckles posted:Both zones are west of the crystal tower. I believe The Ostall Imperative is roughly where Revenant's Toll is, and the most western part where the tangle and castrum would be are cut off. Instead the area on the northern shore of the lake is expanded greatly rather than just being a big pit. I somehow got turned around. The Source is further south than Silvertear Lake is, but the collision of the Agrius with the surface may have just flatout moved the lake north.

Gobbeldygook posted:another thing I never bothered using for a long time was focus-target. I finally started using it when I was working my way through the Alexander raids because I kept dying because I was healing people instead of monitoring the boss's cast bar. Focus targeting is something I think everyone can find some kind of use for.
