Sorry new construction would simply fill the pockets of developers and would ruin the Neighborhood Character of *checks notes* the badlands of Thanalan.

Basically for a good chunk of the game, Tanking consists more-or-less entirely of "turn stance on, spam AOE for trash mobs/do damage to boss, rinse and repeat until one of you is dead". If you can do that no one is really going to care about anything else you do.

Currently debating which Triple Triad rules are worse: Plus/Same or Chaos.

I will say that I've never lost on the last card and had all my cards flipped when the rule was Chaos.

In the 50-60 SAM questline you play as the Kampeitei trying to stop the Kwangtung Army from restarting the Sengoku Era but with more fascism, where does that fit in the cop scale.

There's a flashback cutscene in the quest before you unlock Orbonne that goes on for like 15 minutes and is completely impenetrable if you didn't play FFT.

I like to keep my role actions and equivalent actions on the same hotbar between jobs. Bloodletting is always in the same place, Swiftcast is always in the same place, etc. and apply that to buttons that do the same/similar things but are named different like all the various mitigations Tanks have.

I don't know anything about the economics of the club scene, but I really hope it's mostly the hyper-rich running at a loss just to have fun, because the concept of running an MMO gambling den/dance club/brothel to make a profit is unspeakably sad to me

TATARU: They had so much fuckin' money in there you could build a housing plot out of Allagan Gold Pieces. And the best part was that the developers upstairs didn't know what the gently caress was going on. I mean, to them, everything looked on the up and up, right? Wrong. The players inside the manor were all slipped in there to skim the joint dry. They'd do short counts, they'd lose fill slips, they'd even take cash right out of the retainers. And it was up to this lalafell right here standing in front of about two million gil to skim the gold off the top without anybody getting wise, the developers or anybody. Now notice in a player house nobody seems to see anything. Somehow somebody's always looking the other way. Now look at these players, they look busy, right? They're counting gil, who wants to bother them? I mean, Twelve forbid they should make a mistake or forget to steal. Meanwhile, you're in, and you're out. Pass the jagoff miqo'te RPer who gets an extra Thavnairian Onion a week just to watch the housing raffle, I mean, it's routine. Business as usual. In, out, hello, goodbye, and that's all there is to it. Just another lalafell gently caress walking out of The Mists in his underwear.
