I mentioned it in the other thread but the Convocation crystals looked suspiciously like soul crystals, wonder if that'll be anything. Also, lmao, after 5.0 I posted that I couldn't believe they made me care about the Ascian plot, but that I was worried about it going forward because Elidibus is boring. Egg on my face, that's for sure. Wasn't quite sure if I got the details right on his story, though: basically, he was supposed to be part of Zodiark, but he had to withdraw at the last second because there was internal disagreement, so he got left behind by all his Convocation buddies, leading to his obsession with the Rejoining? Is that the gist of it?

See, I guess I missed the bit where it was implied (or stated outright) that Elidibus is a primal. Where was that?

Do we know enough about the writing structure of the FFXIV expansion cycle to say Ishikawa would even be on the next one? My assumption is: they laid the scene out for this expac back in HW, so she was a part of that process and maybe was even planning the broad strokes of the story then and during Stormblood. If that was the case (and it very well might not be, I am talking completely out of my rear end), it would make sense for another writer to take the lead on the next expansion because they were doing their own work during Shadowbringers.

Also I love that scene with Zenos and Fandaniel because Fandaniel is just loving hamming it up for an audience of no one, clearly loving this poo poo just for its own sake, and Zenos is completely loving stonefaced the entire time. Just does not give one single poo poo about any of it.

My completely unscientific maximum potency MCH can possibly fit into eight seconds ignoring raid buffs (the last three or so Heat Blasts of a Hypercharge (240x3 so 720) + Wildfire (six hits with 200 per hit, 1200) used before the invuln would have started, plus five uses of Gauss Barrel/Ricochet (750), plus Reassembled Drill (critical direct hit 700, which we'll just round up to 1000?), plus Air Anchor (700), plus Queen's punches and Pile Bunker (let's say just used at 50 battery so around 800 potency if we assume three punches get blocked), based on some sketchy math I did in my head, resulted in a little under 5000 potency. So yeah. Making it 10 seconds probably adds at least another punch, another Heat Blast, and another Gauss Barrel or Ricochet, which would be about 540 potency. Man, MCH's burst windows are loving nuts lmao Arist fucked around with this message at 20:39 on Aug 17, 2020 |

Rand Brittain posted:I mean, I feel like "the original writer specifically used a word for young adults and not children" does in fact wrap it up. Not only do we not know that the story was Japanese, as mentioned above, "seinen" does not actually have the exact same connotations as "young adult" does in English. It could very easily mean "teenager."

Yotsuyu is the product of several oppressive systems working in sequence and writing her off as Pure Evil Just Because ignores the roles those systems had and casts her as uniquely evil instead of actually addressing the Doman and colonial structures that turned her into that.

The Exarch's plan to save us was to kill himself, which the WoL would never have allowed to happen, so it was absolutely not about saving us.

My worry about anything involving Unukalhai and Cylva is that I don't think they'll want to lock an entire expac behind having done the Warring Triad and all of the ShB role quests.

I don't feel like disowning them really fits into this though. If it's going to turn out that he's secretly not an rear end in a top hat, my guess is that Sharlayan is up to something and he doesn't want them to come home.

A quick google is giving the most likely answers as "Vach" (like "Bach") or "Ma-ha". I'm seeing people say that the latter is used in certain streams and is the way the katakana would be pronounced, but I can't confirm it myself.

WrightOfWay posted:Bard's Radiant Finale seems kinda dumb. Every time you use a song you get a Coda, and with 3 Codas you get the maximum buff for Radiant Finale. Except it has a 90 second cooldown while your songs have 120, so you won't ever actually get 3 Codas with it unless you hold it. On top of that, there is going to be some very cursed fight and kill time specific optimization on when you are supposed to use the first Radiant Finale. If you use Radiant Finale right when you start your third song in the chain, wouldn't that be 90 seconds? e: though when you use RF I guess you lose the Coda for the song you were already in, so... huh. Considering that it's 2%/4%/5%, I'm guessing using RF at 2 Codas is probably optimal anyway. Arist fucked around with this message at 16:30 on Oct 13, 2021 |

Onean posted:It would, but it does go onto cooldown during the 30 seconds that last song plays, which puts it out of sync for your next cycle of songs. That said, there's only a 1% difference between 2 and 3 codas, so (doing zero math so I'm probably wrong) I think using it on CD is going to be better than waiting for 3 codas every time. Yeah, I edited my post with the same thing, I'm guessing 2 codas is optimal and 3 is more for "the boss just came back from a phase transition" or something like that. Also worth noting that songs are 45 seconds now instead of 30.

I don't find the prospect of Zodiark being some ultimate big bad force for us to defeat with zero nuance all that interesting, and given that Fandaniel doesn't give a solitary gently caress about Big Z I don't know why people are so fixated on that idea. Maybe it's that Amano artwork, idk. I don't think Zodiark will likely survive, either way.
