Thundarr posted:I'll probably break down and do this, since as time goes by it becomes increasingly unlikely that combat materia 6 or lower will be useful for edge case overmelds. And they're eating a lot of space on a retainer. Yeah, this. You can still find a use for the old Green/Blue materia, but the old combat materia is pretty much a waste.

I spent close to two weeks chasing this loving thing, had a crack-ping moment when I triggered the Intuition buff, and when I tried to cast, began getting the "The fish are onto you, go somewhere else" message. When the howling and gibbering screams faded and I was myself again, I decided I had had enough and just bought one off the marketboard.

LTW holds a special place in my memory because it's the only one where the guildmaster actually criticizes your work and isn't constantly blowing smoke up your rear end about how you singlehandedly saved the business by crafting 5 pieces of starter gear with your amazing natural talent.

cheetah7071 posted:I just finished a NG+ of 2.0 and, after the 5.3 and 6.1 changes, I think the only part of it that doesn't really hold up is Hydaelyn and Lahabrea. Unfortunately, a low-ambition rewrite isn't really capable of fixing them either because both of them are >50% voiced lines I think Lahabrea is kind of like Minfilia in that they're victims of 1.0 carryover. There wasn't really a plan for the Ascians at that point other than "mysterious bad guys who gently caress poo poo up for no apparent reason." That was why they had to make mention of the fact that Lahabrea had huffed too many bodyswap fumes and that's why he was such a dumbass compared to the others in light of their stated goals, because it was the only way to make him "work" once YoshiP and co. had gotten their footing.

FuturePastNow posted:While the average alliance raid goes very smoothly, the Ivalice and Nier raids can still regularly turn into mass casualty events and frankly seeing that happen and players deal with it is half the fun of doing them I once got like 6 comms from the first Ivalice raid back when everyone was farming it for Bozja. We were at the Chariot boss, I had already been dead to something I didn't dodge in time and the "Arena goes dark, gotta click the objects on the ground to make it light and find the safe spot" mechanic was happening. The groups whiff it and it would have been a full wipe, except that I was in the middle of Rez animations, so as everyone else dies, I pop up and manage to Doublecast Verraise a healer in time for them to LB3 and Salvage the whole thing.

They teach you all kinds of useless stuff like dodging bombs thrown by goblins behind barricades. They should give realistic tutorials like how to pull 2 packs then hit a wall. Yeah, that was a rude awakening for me when I was working on unlocking Mentor roulette. Speaking of stuff they gave up on, I wish they'd add more rank-ups for the Grand Companies. Pretty weird that despite being the literal multi-time savior of the star and all life on it that I'm only a lieutenant in the local military.

Maxwell Lord posted:Doing the level 50 Culinarian quest after ARR is especially amusing. Yeah, that one always stuck out like a bit of a sore thumb to me. Honestly, I think the most "realistic" one is the Leatherworkers Guild, because she is the only one who will actually tell you early on that your work is poo poo and you should feel bad, which makes sense because you're literally brand new to the profession and should not be an instant master. All of the others, it's "Hey, wow, these basic ham sandwiches you made are so good that I am now willing to reconcile with my estranged family whom I haven't talked to in 15 years!" Leatherworkers, it's "Ok, so this wasn't completely godawful, but you still need to git gud." Always feels more earned when she actually starts trusting you with the real work.

sassassin posted:There's plenty of trashing your work in the goldsmith quests as well, and the level 50 quest ends with a gag about how you don't actually know what you're doing (which saves the day as Gigi becomes too mad about it to die) With the GSM quests though, it's easy to discount the criticism because it's coming from an old, buggy, possibly the prototypical mammet and not the actual guild master. It feels less like criticism and more like a comedy relief bit. "Ha ha, look at the grumpy robot who is never happy."

That's something I could improve upon were my stitching not a canned animation and a particle effect. My silver bar making Gigi want to commit suicide? Overdramatic and provides me no approach to improve.  That's also a good point that I didn't consider.

I know the data mining isn't as prevalent as it is in other games, but is there anywhere to figure out ahead of time which currently accessible crafting mats will be useful for the next tier of recipes? I wouldn't mind trying to stock up ahead of time if I know that Integral Logs are going to be relevant again, for example.

My problem in pvp has always been that I swear I'm not ever actually doing any damage. No matter how many buttons I push, even when it's 1v1 for a brief moment before 25 members of their team shows up to annihilate me, the other person never loses a single point of HP. At this point, I'm pretty sure I would lose against someone who was AFK

I found it so incredibly dry and boring. My biggest beef was just that Bozja itself is so ugly. I mean, I get it, it's a gritty warzone in a geographic area that probably doesn't do itself any favors aesthetically speaking anyways, but yeah, an ugly place with crap scenery makes the grind hit that much harder. Plus, like someone else mentioned, killing trash mobs is all but useless.

Yeah, with a good WAR tank, my static can 1 tank/1 heal the EX2 fight.
