Solo Wing Pixy posted:Speaking of which, since I'm one of the few goons that stayed on Crystal, and since character creation on the other data centers is a crapshoot at best, would people be interested in a cross-world linkshell for Crystal goons? It's not quite as fancy as a Free Company, but if new players are going to be stuck on the non-cool worlds on our data center, we could at least help out with duty finder queues and such. I would be interested, Having a way to help more people is always nice, and while I cant help for ShB stuff I did level a healer just in case. If ya need my character , look for a Zokhan Kharlu on diabolos.

I'd be interested in joining up to a Crystal linkshell. That's where my main ended up because Excalibur was closed back when I first started playing. I'd be happy to help with queuing for things, too, since I'm maining WHM and get those nice healer queues.

VHGS posted:After you complete the story quest that's gated by finishing your role quest line, talk to that NPC again. Does it just work for all related jobs? Would clearing the magical DPS line as SMN let you instantly grab gear for BLM and RDM?

Yes, it explicitly says so after you do the role quest and talk to him again. Even better, if you lose your AF4 gear you can just talk to him again to get a new one, from the looks of it.

Vermain posted:It's because she's a villain with believably tragic motivations who is driven and determined to see her vision through. She's flawed - terribly flawed - and those flaws drive her deeper and deeper down the descent to Hell until she takes the final step. It's a pretty classic but compelling conceit, something that stands out moreso in a story where your other two villains share the same backstory of 'poo poo childhood turned them into a grinning anime psychopath'. There's only room for one Kefkaesque villain per FF title, please. The way I see it, by the end of their stories Fordola blames no one but herself for what she became, and Yotsuyu blames everyone except herself for what she became.

Well you still have to get accessories and belts. All the belts. Conveniently the EXDR dungeons only drop belts and accessories of the same level as the weathered AF (430, apparently we can't have nice  things)

Are you loving kidding me? He shows up out of the blue after the awesome end scene for Il Mheg and it's so he can reveal his actual name's loving Emet? That's the name my loving neighbor 5 doors down has. On the other hand his entire persona is still the perfect sort of smug dickhead I can't help but enjoy hating in these sorts of games. Seriously though I loving loved Il Mheg, the fey folk kick rear end when done right and the wide angle group shot with that line was loving amazing. Spoilers in that link obviously.

Asimo posted:Further red mage observations: Engagement has proved more useful than I anticipated, since even if it's 50 less potency than Displacement there's proving to be a lot of fights where it's just easier to park yourself on the boss' rear end and not eat a half-second animation lock. But I still can't figure out what the hell Reprise is supposed to be for. Enchanted Reprise is 220 potency melee... but costs 10 B/W mana so it keeps you from doing your finisher combo, and it's got a full-length GCD so it isn't even saving time over just casting jolt or dumping mana after a misfired combo or something. Is there something I'm missing, some sort of high end mana optimization thing that'd use it? Well, for one thing - it’s a ranged attack. You’re supposed to use it for movement phases where you can’t stop to cast. Also useful after you double-cast and something has just a bit of HP left.

I just got to Leviathan and feeling like I'm really missing out on this new expansion with everyone else  (I've been playing about 2 months). My entire FC keeps talking about how good it is and the new zones. I'm the sort of player that loves taking time too, so even when I get to HW I still wanna spend time in Ishgard, see the new zones and hear new music instead of rushing straight through. I'm never gonna see the end of this game

Just got into Stormblood, and I've been enjoying it. Maining SAM still, and finally broke into the traits where I'm both not starved for Kenki and have Shinten to dump into it. Changed my rotation pretty good, I think. I been playing Gunbreaker on and off for dungeons and stuff and really enjoy it. I do kind of wish the powder system had some mitigation tied to it as well. If they added a few more abilities that needed a cartridge, maybe it could have 6 cool little lights like a revolver, then.

As a sprout who primarily plays White Mage and is still halfway through Stormblood, DNC is really intuitive. It's not like when I had to learn an iron-clad rotation to play BLM, it's basically just playing whack a mole while zipping around with En Avant and that seems really fun. Note, I hate playing in melee unless I opt to Tank.

I made it to 80 on MCH, though I'm probably doing pretty poor at it as I'm mostly playing by ear. It's been fun though, sorry to all the old MCH likers but I'm glad they revamped it. I thought I would have a longer adjustment period to being a rabbit but I took to it almost right away.

Surprised more people haven't mentioned that we're a partly rejoined Ascian. Is the implication that we're the 14th member of the Conclave? Also placing money on that we're one of Mom's original summoners.

Firstborn posted:Let me also share how to get people in rando dungeons to say you are a good gunbreaker: Use Demon Slice and Demon Slaughter. ... and remember to turn on Royal Guard. You know, I've been thinking about trying to level gathering/crafting, but I haven't touched it since ARR and I think my highest level crafter is like, 25. At this point it just seems overwhelming, especially since I'm still running on the assumption that you're going to need to level most of the crafting classes a fair amount of the way for the cross skills for whatever your 'main' is and god help you if you go Omni. Aside from that, I'm at the point in Stormblood's MSQ that I've united the Steppe's people and beat up Garlean Team Rocket once again. I've not been super hot on the plot thus far, but that last dungeon and single player duty were both kind of rad set pieces, so I take back at least one bad thing I've said about the story. Kind of thinking what I'll level for alts once I get closer to being caught up, right now I'm kind of leaning towards Machinist or RDM for DPS and WHM for healer. I had a 60 SCH, but I'm not terribly hot on them. I leveled it at the time because it seemed more convenient to do that than to separately level a healer and DPS, but it turned out I didn't really like SCH nor SUM. I don't really know enough about AST to really say anything about it, my big concern is that I would constantly forget about cards and on paper it looks like their personal damage contribution looks to be the lowest of the three healers (though it sounds like the way ShB is balanced, there's not going to be as many GCDs to spare pitching out damage so... ) but I don't know how it actually pans out in practice.

I think in light of Shadowbringers SB is gonna look like the poor sister of the expansions, but they probably felt they had no choice, and they might not have felt there was enough compelling story content to do a full Othard expac. So, marry the two and get it out the door.

I liked Stormblood, but this was waaay better. Like, unbelievably so. I hope they can keep it up in the patch content over the next few years. Additional spoilers regarding the end of the MSQ: Following up on the assumption that we're one of crystalmom's original summoners, and noting that ol' man Emet freely admits the Ascians are tempered by Zodiark and we speculate we're tempered by Hydaelyn, are we permanently tempered? Given that we've presumably been born and reborn, and Ardbert was presumably also tempered by crystalmom. Is that a special power of stardad and crystalmom, or does it apply to other primals too? Because that would suuuuck.

So, I bought the $200 Whale Edition of SHB. I have 2 packages coming from SqEnix. A 6lb package coming today, and a ~1.2lb package coming on July 6th. I'm assuming that the 6lb package is the statue/physical goods, and the ~1lb package is the game box. The game box with my product code. So I can't activate my game til Saturday, while I have this whole week off from work for the holiday.
