Is there a version of that with larger text? Even at full size that's difficult to read.

it's kind of funny to me that people talk about how much better the brand-new stuff looks over other ARR gear cause the caster and dow one are both just recolors of the first dungeon set anyways
at least the tanking set is borrowing from an i70 model so it would technically take longer to get that equivalent

I don't think I collected a single full dungeon set in my entire time leveling. The brand new set is super quick and easy to get a nice looking coordinated set.

Healers tend to enjoy the game of tank hp limbo, especially if they think you're not going to get pasted immediately.

I've been stuffing every materia I get into a retainer, and tried combining them with Mutamix a few times, but unless there's a faster way to get better ones out of crap, it looks like I should just sell everything below IV or V. Well, put certain IIIs on the MB, crafter quests need those.

I'm thinking Lahabrea? *checks* Yeah, Escape from Castrum Centri.

Ah yeah I forgot about that whole thing.

I for one am glad that raids are not multi-hour affairs like they were in WoW and such. I don't have the energy for that sort of thing anymore and it's nice that the endgame group content is relatively accessible.

Incidentally my biggest ARR quest disappointment is that Archer leads to bard. The final quests for archer are very well staged, in terms of cinematography, and come off as a component episode from an action tv show. And then I'll be a performer, a minstrel? I didn't really mentally sign on to become a Bard, so I'm just going to let the class go..

This is my biggest gripe about ARC/BRD too. I have very little interest in the performance/song stuff, I just wanna shoot arrows at things.

I should specify that I say this as someone who has BRD up in the 80s. I like archery, still not super sold on the song stuff.

Jack B Nimble posted:

It's not about the mechanics, I have no idea how Bard plays because I ended the Archer quest line and said "Nah I don't want my WoL to be a bard for RP reasons." I personally navigate a little head cannon for all the jobs I go into, and why, and Archer fit for me in a way Bard doesn't. It's 100% subjective and personal and someone else could have made the transition with zero problem.

This is basically my take on it, but I powered through it anyway. Will definitely not be sticking with it for entirely subjective reasons.

I'd like to once again shill this hotbar preset - https://www.nexusmods.com/finalfantasy14/mods/1054 - Has both controller and keyboard layouts and the creator made sure things are always in the same spots for each job. It drastically simplified things for me since my hotbars would've been a hideous mess otherwise.

Personally mine is all over Ozma's platform in Weeping City, I haven't had much problem with Dun Scaith.

Most recently, I was in the middle of the reviving animation when it did the whole "eat and teleport you" mechanic, leaving me alone. So I jumped into the visual effect it sucks you into. And spawned in the submap dead.

I still cannot for the life of me remember any of Ozma's mechanics

There are two big things XIV has going for it that kept me from going back to WoW like every other MMO did. Being able to do every single thing on one character and basically zero content rot. Level sync is inspired and having the leveling dungeons always there for you to queue into instead of never seeing them again once you've leveled past them is so good.

Machinist is very enjoyable. Minor lore spoiler: Canonically you're one of the first ever machinists so all the flippy bullshit you do during your attacks is entirely of your own creation.

Thank you for the suggestions all!

I will probably keep leveling blue mage for a bit till I get bored then go back to pushing through the main quest.

If you can find someone willing to spend an hour or so with you, it's worth getting BLU powerleveled up to max. It's dreadfully boring, otherwise.
