The ending of EW is like, on par with the 5.2-5.3 MSQ emotionally, imo. And you get some awesome character moments throughout.

It's my second favourite expansion for sure, after ShB. HW is a close third.


Unrelated houuuuugh god they really need to go back and re-dub ARR with the current voice cast if they're gonna insist on keeping Praetorium's cutscenes unskippable.

Even I, noted Endwalker Critic, don't think it is that bad. Still better than Stormblood at least.

Stormblood would have been better if the first four levels of it weren't this horrendous slog that felt more like a series of side quests than actual story progression.

Yeah, maaaaaybe 6.55 will have more than four quests in it, but there's a delicate balance needed to avoid a repeat of the absolute slog that 2.5 and 2.55 was.

Quick reminder that Square-Enix is too afraid to add "sack of nuts" into the auto-translation dictionary despite being an imperative part of hunts, and despite "Allied Seals" and "Centurio Seals" both existing in the diction. It has been four years since Shadowbringers was released.

guys if you don't want people using this out of context you should have just named it something else :mad:

Based on other classic FF translation hilarity I choose to believe that this is the squeenix US team flipping the best bird they can muster at the mothership by forcing them to try to come up with equivalent puns.

I wish the Emperor’s New Fists was an all class item but I know that would just absolutely break how the game’s job system works. All jobs should be able to be punch man jobs.

Punch the trees for wood. Punch the sword you’re forging. Fly a mile in the air and punch the boss like you’re Godbert.

I'm guessing 6.5 msq will conclude the current story while 6.55 msq will intro the next crisis

Yeah, that's where I think it's going to go. 6.5 trial will be Zeromus and sort out the last of the Thirteenth/voidsent plotline, 6.55 will be the breather episode where everyone finally gets around to reading those damned letters.

WHM is really fun once you get used to it. I mained it 1-90 on my first character through all the expansions and while some of the story stuff could be a bit of a slog with a relatively low damage output, it was a blast in dungeons and raids. I'm leveling it again on my current character as an alt job, and now that I'm mid-way through the 50s and have stuff like Assize and Afflatus Solace it's just so chill even when the content is getting harder.

The instant duty pops help a lot lol

i'll admit it, i hosed up on a few mechanics in Galatea Magna tonight and wiped the party as a result

my excuse is the last time I healed was when 6.0 was fresh content and i've only ever done the 6.x stuff as DRG

Kazinsal
Dec 13, 2011

I did 6.1-6.4 as a DRG and a couple days ago my FC fell apart due to RL issues and I had to abandon that char, so I returned to my original 6.0 WHM char on Excal in a goon FC and started going through it all again

it just happens that I've never healed those instances and I swear P8S is easier than the 6.3 instances

RDM is definitely my favourite magic DPS job. I will be a WHM main forever with DRG as a close second, but if you said you needed a non-melee DPS I would be signing up as RDM. The raw DPS numbers aren't necessarily as good as BRD or DNC but the utility makes the job wonderful to play.
