I realized that there is in-game "proof" that the Warrior of Light is not a man. If the WoL - silent and stoic as they are known to be - was a man, then it does not make sense for Alphinaud to form a unique "big brother" relationship with Estinien. WoL as a sort of "big sister" figure to the twins just feels like it fits more.

By the way, if you're new to Extreme raiding or haven't done it much in the past there's no better time to do it than now. The accessory trial can be done by just following the group while you're learning the mechanics, and while the weapon trial is a little spicier it mainly revolves around pairs of mechanics that are a decent toe dip into what to expect from future extremes /doing old extremes synced. Not to mention the first extreme fights of an expansion are usually under tuned to account for players learning new rotations and job mechanics.

Give it a shot!

several times now I've heard from people who encounter a 90 SMN for the first time in the final trial and wonder what mechanics the boss does that summons old primals

I turn on all effects at the beginning of an expansion, but by the time alliance raids come out I'll turn down everyone outside my party.

/petsize all small can also help with hiding summoner primals

Earlier this week I started blitzing Sage to 79 just because I was curious what their Mt. Gulg weapon looked like, and the most obvious solution was to just get sage to that point since I had almost all of the armor drops anyway and could guarantee the weapon in a couple runs (I kinda hated it when I did get it tbh). Since then I’ve ended up continuing to play sage. Up to 84 right now. It’s fun! I’m sure this is true for Scholar too, but I really like how fast shields can come out now. As I’ve gotten my feet wet with the job I’ve had a few instances where I had to clutch out some shields that I know for sure wouldn’t have caught the damage I was trying to mitigate in Shadowbringers, but now I put them up and a mere moment later the damage goes out and I see them wear off. It’s awesome.

I spent 45 mins in the 2nd trial helping a friend clear because the randos we got matched with just weren't picking up the mechanics, so there's deffo some harder skill checks being added to the game as times goes on. I do generally like that the game pushes you a bit as you move through the expansions, even if it leads to the rare "I keep explaining susano to these brand new healers but they're not getting it and we're two pulls away from timing out the instance" moments.

both of them in general have really lax timings for mechanics, imo. especially fond of the spread mechanic in the first half of EX2 cause it comes out seconds after its paired mechanic that I've seen some cold blooded murders happen from people closing in before the whole mechanic resolved.

I blitzed a set of trusts on Black Mage, spending my rested bonus on other jobs for roulette, and I found that with only the armory bonus running they ended up outpacing me slightly enough that I had to pop a few FATEs after the 85 and 87 dungeon.

Then just pass on the things you don’t want and then need the things you do without waiting. The competition reduction thing is such a strange solution to a really simple situation. Especially because some people use the exact same logic to just wait out timers to guarantee they get what they want.
