All right! I'm glad to see your doing the LP again Crash. I started playing through ARR again on a new character and I'm enjoying it. Once you get into dungeons, I'll send you a PM about helping you out covering other classes.

HenryEx posted:Lemme just say i will be extremely miffed if we don't get video footage of the first queue primal trials. It will be random queue, right? It's just not the same otherwise. Nothing will ever beat six months after release where the server that was responsible for placing people in primal fights was broken. For a solid month, everyone was experience horrible lag during these fights. Me and my brother were stuck on the second primal because we could not do it due to how movement heavy it was.

SSNeoman posted:That MP limit really, really hurts this early on, especially given how effective Flash is compare to your combo. I think, prior to you getting your complete enmity generation combo, you should be able to hold enmity easily with just two flashes per mob. After that, it's just Fast Blade -> Savage Blade on the primary target.

I would agree that 3.1 wasn't the best but 3.2 was a step up and 3.3 was a huge content dump. I still say the fights that came in 3.3 are some of the best in the game.

People seem to forget this happened during both of patch 2.4 and 2.41s trials and during the 24 man raid that was concluded that patch. I'm pretty sure this is just something that happens in every mmo.

SSNeoman posted:It's 24 man in the sense that it's 3 groups of 8 right? Yeah. With the exception of the older content, its three groups consisting of one tank, two healers and five dps.

Gloomy Rube posted:The more I hear about this stuff, the more I think Fantasy Life was meant to actually be single player FFXIV. They have all the class swapping, the main story is completely playable as a crafting class, and the music's by Nobuo Uematsu. Huh...that actually makes a lot of sense. I should really give that game another shot, I stopped playing it way too early.

This is actually one of my favorite parts of the game because now it completely opens up. In theory, you can walk to Gridania from Ul'dah and take a boat to Limsa but now the game throws access to all the classes at you and says, "go nuts". Also World Apart is a great rendition of the main theme. It's one of my favorites.

You will notice, at least with the first three dungeons you get access to, that they're easily streamrolled. A lot of people say their poorly designed (these people are usually maxed level / geared) but the dungeons are made to teach you mechanics that you'll deal with throughout the MSQ, which people seem to forget three years after they were introduced. Specifically, in this one you deal with working as a party at the basic level, dealing with additional mobs spawning during a fight and using certain mechanics in a fight to prevent excess damage.

Fister Roboto posted:That's what it's supposed to teach you, yes. But what it really teaches you is to ignore the mechanics, ignore the adds, and just burn down the boss ASAP. That's why it's poorly designed. The bubbles spawn when the boss hits certain points and only the initial set spawn, it's a mechanic that's built for people who are around that item level / do not have a job crystal yet. Obviously its going to be easy to blow through with even one person who's maxed item level.

SonicRulez posted:Is there any particular reason you still need to unlock Rogue instead of having it from the jump? They also never created a cutscene that shows the PC as a Rogue in the beginning of the game and believed it was a waste of resources to go back and create one.

Her personality is annoying in the beginning but towards the end of the Arcanist questline, when it starts getting really dark, I got over it really fast.

The Rising is still my favorite event that XIV does. The music, the nostalgia, everyone in the player base seems to mellow out and celebrate. It's just nice all around.

Energy Drain is such a good ability. Since it doesn't have a cast time, you can use it while moving. It's extremely useful when your dodging a ground targeted move and you want to keeping DPSing.

The instance here is one of my favorites in the game and the FF 2 remix is great. It's fits perfectly with this being a joke fight.

There is only one acceptable answer and that is the Maelstrom. We have to go with the GC who has the best looking gear.

The interview between Masayoshi Soken and Nobuo Uematsu is an absolute treat, not only because they're two great composers but because they have a lot of history with the company. I'll link it here if you guys are interested.

I must have blocked this part out of my memory because I think the part that follows afterwards is one of the worst parts of the 2.0 story.

For any who is curious or on the fence about trying Final Fantasy 14, now is the BEST time to give it a shot! The game is so much more user-friendly and what Crash showed is only a small percentage of the quality of life changes that were made. You do not have to have purchased Stormblood to get access to these changes, they exist for everyone!

Yeah I agree. Brayfolk definitely is a huge step up compared to all the dungeons up to this point. It just sucks that the quest line surrounding it is a little ridiculous. Fun fact, when I first started playing this game about six months after release, the servers that were charged with handling dungeon / primal instances were plagued with problems. Constant disconnects were a thing and this whole section took a solid month to beat because running through Brayfolk was like playing with 1000 ping. It was a nightmare.

This part of the MSQ was surprisingly painless for me, unlike

So a little story but around the time I started playing Final Fantasy 14, the game was plagued with server problems for about two or three weeks (this was during the 2.2 patch). Because of this, the servers that specifically handled instanced boss fights like Titan and Ifrit were filled with horrible lag and made most fights difficult. Well, right when the server problems started is when me and my brother just got to Titan. We spent the next two weeks trying to get a clear while dealing with horrible lag in the fight, which meant we would be knocked off the stage almost every run. My brother ended up quitting because of it and to this day, still hasn't come back because of it. So yeah, Titan is pretty rough with lag. This is the point where the game stops loving around in terms of difficulty.

Elentor posted:Re: Music, I think the entire sequence with Shiva, from the intro cutscene to the phase 1 music to the transition to the phase 2 music is probably the coolest boss fight presentation I had ever seen until then and the only way I could describe it is "this poo poo loving owns". This is definitely one of my favorite transitions but the final boss in the newest expansion has one that blew it out of the water. That's still my favorite boss fight in any MMO and probably a contender in the top 5 of all games.
