As someone whose trying to make it to zones 5 and 6 without spoilers due to how I see goons hyping it up, can anyone tell me without spoilers why it's so :holkyfuck: for people? I feel like based on the goon reactions so far I'm going to go into it with the same kinds of unrealistic expectations that Marvel fans have going into the Spider-Man.

Thanks for the replies. I will assume that I am going to Midgar to be Clouds best friend and if it's anything less I will be disappointed.

I had to finish ShB when EW dropped so I'm a bit behind but holy gently caress that level 83 duty. I did it in one go so it wasn't frustrating but I'm still a bit gobsmacked. That body check animation at the end was so good it almost had me out of my seat, god drat.

Oxyclean posted:I think if there's any time to revamp things for the sake of new players, 6.x/7.0 seems like the time. With all the talk of 6.x being the set up for a new story arc, I have to wonder if they might just give new players the option to start there, and then have 2.0->6.0 served by NG+ For story in 6.x and 7 I do kinda hope they do a reset at least of scope and scale. Once you finish the huge thing in EW, it seems like it might be a good time for a little classic adventuring with maybe some minor political intrigue, and then they can build up to another Big Deal over time. Give us some new characters and areas but let the story breathe a little bit, maybe an ARR 2.0 but ya know, less tedious from the get go. I just think it would be a mistake to try and go even bigger with the scope and (level 90 EW spoilers) our good friend Emet-Selch gave us plenty of ideas for things to see and do. We don't have to jump right into a big existential threat, this isn't Star Trek: Discovery.

cheetah7071 posted:The limited job I want to see is Azem. Mechanic is summoning shades of NPCs you've met over the course of the game using the Azem job crystal, gathered and compiled similar to how blue mage works I will say (level 87-90 EW spoilers) I was actually slightly disappointed we didn't get to meet Azem in the storyline (not sure if she shows up in a sidequest or anything, I haven't gone back to do any yet). It would be kind of awkward I guess but I trust they could have pulled it off reasonably well.

Discussing the 87 spoilers above, I really was floored that the universe was apparently just that bleak. Like fuuuuuck, everywhere else in the galaxy/universe just dead except for Etheryis? jfc also lmao that he sent her out with that question rather than perhaps something more reasonable like "is there other life in the universe?" I think the original inhabitants of Etheryis were just kinda dumbasses tbh.

Jetrauben posted:It's not clear if the universe is empty or just the areas Meteion observed. A sample size of 108 worlds is still pretty small. Ohhhhh okay, I was burning through plot quickly and didn't notice there was a number given. That makes it a little less bleak I guess. At some point I'm probably going to go back and do some new game + to take the plot at a slower pace and read things more closely.

I was gonna look myself up on fflogs for curiosity's sake because I am sure I'm real bad, but on there my character is still showing up as being on Lamia and has zero stats available, when I transferred to Excal well over a month ago to join a goon FC.

Deathlove posted:Oh, I wasn't trying to be snarky, I main DNC and have been thinking of what I want to mess around with next and people do be liking that Reaper, and if it's similar, all the better! I play DNC and have been dabbling in RPR and I essentially have my single target/aoe rotations mapped out the same and it's pretty easy to bounce back and forth between the two. Beyond that though it's pretty different imo but I haven't leveled RPR up to 90 yet so not sure if it changes much.

Clarste posted:Ninja is funny to me since it's basically half ranged class except for some reason your basic combo requires you to be in melee. They took out the standard melee dot and added in some new buttons to press (that are also ranged) but they don't feel amazingly powerful to me, they just kinda interrupt your basic rotation with slightly more powerful GCDs. Which I'm fine with (except for the Raiju awkwardness) I just find it funny that melee attacks are slowly being replaced with ranged attacks. Maybe the endgame is to convert them into a ranged dps and solve the Scouting gear problem once and for all. This is kinda how dancer is too, except flipped. The single target attacks are ranged but doing AOE rotation requires you to be in melee range. The dances which hit multiple targets can still be used at range though.

Bruceski posted:All the AF had a lot of love given to it this time. Usually does, but they went above and beyond. Only thing I'm not crazy about (MCH AF gear) is The white shirt/bright red ascot on the chest piece. The rest of the ensemble has a real gritty feel and I think the fancy Dan aesthetic is already served well enough by the level 80 gear.

The important thing imo would be enabling haircuts in glamour plates. I would happily eat 2000 gil every time I swapped to be able to have my hair change, especially because of hair clipping issues with certain outfits.

I don't think I've had more than one wipe per run on any of those bosses. Did wipe to trash once with a really bad healer who quit out of shame and got replaced right before the final boss which was a little lol.e: Also got the orchestrion roll for that dungeon on a run last week, it's great.

Was there any word from the Mog Radio thing about when they might resume sales/free trial account signups again? I have a couple friends I think would love to play and now that queues have been dying down, especially outside of peak hours, I was hoping we would have heard at least rumblings about it by now. I would imagine SE would like to keep selling the game.aers posted:The sheer number of people spiritbonding (based on materia sales volume) is kinda wild tbh. 99% of those people aren't making any return on that investment. I've been selling pretty much every piece of materia I get below IX/X at market price and it's helping me afford all kinds of glam pieces I've wanted, plus I ended up just ponying up for Fat Cat. Gil well spent, imo.

drat Dirty Ape posted:I actually found DNC to be a hard class for me because I end up spending my time staring at my ability buttons looking for procs and miss mechanics. Same, I just have a hard time keeping track of mechanics while maintaining DPS. My dancer is definitely still the go to fun class, but MCH is my other level 90 job and the parses are night and day. MCH has a really solid standard rotation and despite being a little underpowered right now, it's a lot easier to be "good" at it. Ymmv
