Queued up for the final boss now and drat this expansion is sick as hell. I appreciate that the dialogue choices in response to Zenos showing up were "gently caress Off" and "Fine but also gently caress Off".

Fister Roboto posted:Endwalker is good. Not quite as good as Shadowbringers, but that's a ridiculously high bar to clear. I think SHB had a more nuanced and personal storyline, while EW really blasts you with raw emotional scenes. Which, to be fair, is thematically appropriate for EW. Ah right, I also snapped The Important Screenshot of Endwalker. It's cheesy but it made me do a little fist pump anyways.

For those that have finished the MSQ I have a couple of questions I'd love to pose. What is your favorite new dungeon? What is your favorite new map? For Myself (Various Large Spoilers All Across The Expansion, including towards the end) Dungeon: Ktisis Hyperboreia is gorgeous and I'm still listening to the music from there on repeat. I think some other dungeons probably have more interesting fights & mechanics but this one felt special. Doing it with Trusts was an A+ experience. Map: This one is harder. I love Thavnair & Radz-at-Han for being gorgeous and interesting and also just because I'm a Dancer main. But objectively I think either Elpis or Ultima Thule probably win. Both are extremely gorgeous with a lot of amazing plot beats and great music.

(Overall Story Spoilers) Hermes was also dealing with major anxiety and depression as a result of the rift between his views on life compared to the rest of his kin. When it was decided that they'd take Meteion to the city for investigation he probably assumed it'd inevitably end up with the concept shelved and Meteion scrapped. We already saw how horribly it affected him when a random creature had to be killed so imagine what the thought of his closest companion being discarded would do to him. He wanted her to have fulfilled her purpose at the very least so as to not have had a pointless existence.

My Sage testimony is that I was in Dalmasca last night and couldn't get myself to run in the right direction through confusion to get out of an AoE on the last boss. So I just flew to my tank with Icarus and was safe at the last second. It will be hard to play a healer without a dash now.

Mystic Knight would be rad as hell for a DPS job. Having a melee fighter that imbues their weapon with various elements to do different things is a cool aesthetic to work with, although I suppose Red Mage somewhat does a little of that. We've seen Mystic Knight shenanigans in the game before though, from Warrior of Light EX where he'll imbue his sword with an element and it changes how the next attack behaves. Dunno what they'd do for weapon though since they typically just use swords. Corsair has been tossed around a lot from FFXI fans. Could use a cutlass with offhand pistol and have some gambling flavor skills, otherwise maybe they work as the inverse of Red Mage and stay in melee but get a mobile ranged DPS burst window or something. Geomancer is still on the top of my list of wants though. WHM has largely abandoned its roots in nature magic the past few expansions and there's certainly a gap in the job roster for that Druid archetype kind of thing. XI Geomancer was pretty interesting in that they had a lot of spells that could either be cast normally as single target affairs or be placed on the ground as AoEs that would pulse the effect. Either way though it's one of the last few holdouts of super classic FF jobs we don't have yet.

It's also one of your only options for when you need to move in the middle of DPSing a boss, except it's still awkward for that with it being melee range. So yeah just dump it for damage.

The best way to enjoy MSQ Roulette is to use the Personal Orchestrion mod and play Papaya for the entire run. Really sets the mod for Gaius' fascism speech in particular.

Begemot posted:Finished the new raids! They were pretty good. Lord_Magmar posted:To answer a question depending on the board game, he either gives you a fire or ice debuff and then explodes the crystals in the quadrants from the bottom up. So if you have fire debuff you need to be hit by an ice spell and vice versa. Being hit by a spell gives you a matching debuff so you have to alternate ice and fire. The other board game he either will explode all the orange/red or green/white sections of the floor, based on the colour of the swirly magic around him (if the swirly is orange it's the orange floor, if the swirly is green it's the other one). And to add to that: He'll start doing his Larboard/Starboard chain swipes during/shortly after both mechanics so you gotta watch for what side is safe on top of doing the floor mechanic correctly.

Next time y'all have meltdowns can you at least not completely gently caress the mobile experience. If I'm gonna scroll for 10 minutes at least write me an essay. Also Fordola is cool.

In the process of getting Sage to 90 as my healer so I've been trying to decide what Tank I want to level. And the perpetual cycle of indecision begins again because tanking is the role I play least and I've never settled on any of them to play consistently.

I hopped around a few times but I'm back to being a big roe dude and it's the best. My favorite moment is still that scene from Stormblood with Asahi where he's trying to threaten you. Except because I'm a giant man and he's a tiny manlet he's practically breaking his neck to look up at me while trying to look menacing. I promptly started calling him an Angry Hamster because no matter how sinister he was trying to be I couldn't take him seriously when he had to look up so hard at me. As far as fashion goes there's a lot of stuff that looks awkward or stretched out on me but on the flipside a lot of the bulkier stuff like robes tend to look fantastic. Here's some of my recent glamours:

So after having just posted about being a male roe and some glamours I made a spur of the moment decision for New Year's. No idea if it'll stick but... I enjoy the irony of looking at the Twink Race and making the least possible twink bunny boy I could.

Holminster is just spicy, especially if they decide to big pull the first and second legs. Sage can also have a bit of a rough time managing that amount of incoming damage at that level because a lot of their good tools unlock pretty late.

I fantasia'd to male viera on New Year's as a spur of the moment "gently caress it, it's new year's" thing and while I'm still undecided on if I'll stay with it long term I'm pretty drat happy with my WAR glamour.

Eureka is a massive slog of an undertaking that took forever and was incredibly tedious to deal with. At the same time though it had the most positive community of people to interact with throughout the experience and even though it took me 3 tries to get my BA clear all the runs lead by the Aether people were pretty smooth and entertaining. Place still sucks but at least you're suffering in good company the whole time.

Unlucky7 posted:Questions about Pandaemonium 4: During the attack where everyone is teathered to an orb, I get that someone else that isn't the marked role on it must eat the ball. Fun fact, the orbs always spawn in that standard set so if you're doing Solo Tank/Solo Healer shenanigans poo poo goes really sideways and you end up just having to sacrifice a DPS to the mechanic.

The jury is still out on if Summoner is good in terms of DPS and stuff right now. Pretty much everyone agrees that the job is way more rad now and finally plays to the power fantasy of summoning big fuckers to smite your enemies.

DPS leveling also has the option of trusts. It'll take a bit longer than the average pubbie run but you bypass the queue times.

Goons continue to be stubbornly weird in their opinions I see. The horny pics don't particularly bother me but it's not hard to see how they would bother someone else for a large variety of reasons. Some of y'all need to practice learning a little bit of empathy.

My own personal desire will always be Alexander Housing. The interior you go through in A10 before fighting Lamebrix is just this big steampunk city looking place and it looks rad as hell.

Warmachine posted:The fact that they apparently have combos on one button in PvP really makes me hope they port that into PvE at some point. I like button economy and right now SAM pisses me off that I have to dedicate 6 buttons to my builder combo. They could cut that in half by making each combo path one context-sensitive button GNB-style. The devs are adamant about not doing that but there's a third party plugin available through XIV Launcher that does it. Definitely a game changer for some of the jobs that are button heavy.

Dancer has a potentially really impactful LB but then feels like they aren't doing a whole lot outside of that. I suppose the AoE damage from their spin dance is fairly high if you can actually catch people in the whole thing. I've very much been preferring Bard though.
