Was the pizza emote a limited supply thing for some insane reason? It doesn't appear to have applied the code to my order. Was the 20,000 seriously the limit for the emote itself and not just the free delivery? If there was actually a limit on this digital item they can make infinite of then that is just insane

Endwalker is good, imo.

I'm really curious about (MSQ end) where it goes from here, though. Like literally what even the first patch is gonna be. Maybe just touring around to see what each of the Scions are up to? But that would be weird since we just said goodbye. I can't wait to find out!

I mean Emet literally all but looked directly at the camera and listed off like 20 things that will make for good expansion content in the future

edit: I see your next post. There's that Pandamonium place we'll be going to!

Literally on the last boss of a dungeon, and my FC announced that Chi had just spawned. Then one second later got disconnected. Not having work on a Sunday and being able to get on at like 8 sure didn't help me here :( And of course the queue is moving so slow it might as well not be moving at all.

Unrelated, my gear is currently a mix of the gear Tataru makes you and the newest tomestone gear. I noticed a few pieces, specifically the chest and the and weapon for RDM, has SIGNIFICANTLY less crit than the Tataru gear. In fact the chestpiece goes from having 224 to... 0. Do I want to find a mix of the tomestone gear and crafted gear? Throughout ShB I just grabbed the highest tomestone gear and went with the recommended gear button. But this time I looked more closely and noticed the massive loss in crit and wondering now if I should be not just going by the recommended gear button. I like that button because it saves me any real work, but that kind of stat loss seems pretty significant. Is the idea that you're expected to make up that lost crit with materia?

For me, the power in Endwalker hasn't necessarily been (full game spoilers) the cosmic battle vs nihilism (though that is v. good), but it has instead been the little character moments. There is so much in this expansion but we've still had plenty of time to just sit with characters and just have moments. Seeing all my friends from the last 8 years reach the culmination of their personal arcs is incredibly powerful and inspiring.

I absolutely loved the part where all your friends come into your room with a bunch of food and your WoL and all their friends are talking and eating. I loved the little bit with Graha and Alisae with their burgers

The (83 trial) Zodiark fight is cool BECAUSE it's not the final boss of the patch!! In fact neither Zodiark or Hydalen is the final boss. I think that rules.

The idea of splitting up this story into multiple patches or even multiple expansion is insane to me. I thought it all flowed very well outside of the very small amount of times when the "between action" parts went a little too slowly

I think the only 4 man boss that really gave my groups trouble was Vanaspati. The last boss is just sensory overload and I think a lot of players, even myself included, had a hard time paying attention to all the mechanics when they would happen at once. Maybe I just got lucky in all my groups but I never really had an issue. The last boss of Smileton can be a bit tricky and that's only because it's easy to miss which side his laser blast is gonna be. I literally didn't realize it just... said it on his cast bar.

I didn't even have a rough group in the first trial. The second trial was the only dungeon that has several wipes to try and understand it. Even the last boss we only wiped once and the second go around we figured out what we had done wrong. Although the planets spinning in the last trial is one of those mechanics that goes a little TOO fast I think

The last MSQ dungeon the first boss all three of my party members were like "oof this is a rough one" "I wiped 4 times to this XD" etc. We one shot it. Feelsgoodman

People sitting for hours in Chi party finders called the "hellwait" or "the waiting room" really fuckin weird me out. You'll get that poo poo easily, stop abusing yourselves

The problem is it's probably gonna be quite a while before it gets to the point where the boss will spawn and then everyone will wait while a call is sent out so everyone interested can come kill it. Right now there's three separate instances of that zone, and the spawn is different on all of them. And there's only so much room for an instance so even if folks did wait and a call went out, the instance would fill up and then folks wouldn't be able to get in. So now everyone has resorted to just camping and killing it the moment it spawns. I almost think it would've been better to hold off even allowing those two bosses to spawn at all until after things have died down a lot. It also kind of sucks there's a huge segment of the playerbase that is in the game but effectively doing nothing but AFKing on a platform while thousands of players are struggling to get in.

Anyway I have 6 bolts, I just need one more kill.

Friendly advice to people just now getting to 89-90 in the story:

When you get to the final zone, turn off shout chat entirely if you care even a little bit about story or ambiance. All the people with terminal gamer brains waiting on a world FATE may sour the experience for your otherwise.

100%. I mean I'd do this even before that, but zone 6 is especially bad because there's a boss fate there and so everyone is hanging out there idling with nothing else to do and will just casually say spoilers in shout chat. It's pretty lovely.

Why on earth isn't there a checkbox I can click so that when I auto-sort things in the armory chest, it will push all the items that are part of gear sets to the front? Why is very simple stuff that should've been there in the first place so hard for them to do when it comes to the UI?

Does anyone here have the Thavnair barding that can take a picture of it in a well lit area/during the day? The only picture I can seem to find of it that isn't taken at night is the one from the patch notes, and I want to see if it's as pink as that screenshot. I'm debating on the pet or the barding, but if it's as pink as the patch notes trailer I'm 100% going the barding

You can also go to the Coeurl Discord server and specifically track Formidable as a FATE and they'll ping you whenever it spawns on any server.

Spoilering just in case, but in the cutscene where you are waiting to get your endwalker artifact armor the camera keeps panning over to a roe lady standing over a kneeling knight in distinctive armor. Was that a reference to something? Here's a bad screenshot I grabbed. I kept expecting it to change each time it panned back.




Those two just happened to be placed there. Out of the cutscene if you go over to them there's some dialogue where the dude can't stand up cause the armor is so heavy

Endwalker really is a story that expects you to be as excited about all the characters it hauled out for the curtain call as it is, and if someone can't get past their dislike of so-and-so to get to the underlying thematic effort underneath, it is probably going to fall flat. Shadowbringers was sentimental within the confines of a tighter story, Endwalker is sentimental with all the limits ripped off and the Final Fantasy poo poo dial cranked to 11, and that sort of is what it is.

I am fortunate that I generally like all the characters in the story, and a lot of the negative perspectives I've seen on Endwalker have at least been in part "the story made me spend time with Character I Hate, so gently caress it", but the story was probably always gonna do that, so welp.

The only character who outright fell flat for me was elfboy whats his name from Heavensward. He didn't leave a lasting impression on me from Heavensward, and he certainly didn't either in Endwalker. His rivalry with the pirate boy fell flat for me as well cause I just didn't care. But that whole thing is pretty minor compared to every single other character thing that I loved

I'm working on leveling up crafting. I'm using a guide to power level with the firmament. But now I need to craft a 40 HQ set before moving forward. I have all the mats listed to gather, but does anyone have low level macros to ensure that I 100% get the HQ version when I'm crafting the pieces? I don't want to waste my time and then try and fumble my way through this rotation nonsense and not make an HQ one or fail it completely.

Earlier today as DPS I roulette'd into Dun Scaith because some giant babies had apparently just left.

It was very silly, they were already up to the second-last boss. And that's the hard one, the final boss of Dun Scaith is pretty easy as long as your brain can put together "stack + look away". The prior boss almost had a wipe, the final one was just funny goodtimes.
