Job quests gave us an excuse to break up the MSQ every two levels and I can't help but think that would have helped with the pacing of DT MSQ.
Similarly, trial quests sometimes carried patches when the MSQ was a little slower.
I hated PLD quests but I do reflect fondly on characters like Oboro, Curious Gorge, etc
Questions maybe answered:
Where is Estinien and how does he get into the trailer? Will there be any mysterious new NPCs introduced this patch? Will the B-team be joining us or shipping out on another mission? How and why are we going to the 4th?
OK I know a lot of you haven't played the most recent Variant Advanced or the Criterion.
Honestly you should, helping Y'shtola's sister get some tail is both a fun sidestory and great battle content, but I'm not here to talk about that.
I farmed the coins to get the carpet mount from Variant Advanced.
Although being a series of extremish fights I did a number of clears via DF and some via PF.
In the first week, DF was just as good and as fast as PF.
More importantly, once I finished farming VA and stepped into criterion, I was already familiar and comfortable with the base forms of most of the boss mechanics.
So once I stepped into AMT (criterion), even though all the mechs are faster and more complex, they didn't feel overwhelming and I was able to clear much much faster due to my past experience.
I don't claim to know if the extra tier will justify the rewards, but as a practice mode for players who struggle getting into savage, or as a separate mode for players who prefer DF over PF, would you similarly speculate the community will see a lot of merit and use out of this mode?
Maybe a bit casual a topic for this sub but I'll give it a shot.
So far, so good, we've got the rising this week and then another patch's worth of story in a few weeks, I know enough about 8.0 to be hyped but not enough to have a clear picture.
I'd be ecstatic if Tokyo Fanfest focused solely on evolved jobs and upcoming content.
I don't need anything story-wise to entice me further.
Doubly so for anything related to the benchmark, the launch trailer and the media tour...
DT revealed too much in its promo stuff. Even the red herrings like "the scions divided" left us with weird expectations...
Do people still feel the same or is everyone hungry for more hints and discussion points?
(Edit: 8.0 not 7.0, fixed)
Pls forgive pixels, both me and my computer are potatoes
Yeah what should I say: I got 3 tickets (two from 33 and the one free) and pulled 3x Gaia…thanks for nothing (except the Gaia Outfit).
Wolves hunting in packs and running circles around their territory, behemoths fighting each other, birds flying overhead and swooping in from the sky, absolutely humungous adamantoises roaming the wilderness that are passive normally but a powerhouse if trifled with...
Anyone who has played FFXIII will remember the moment the world opened up and became alive.
In contrast, when you stop and look at FFXIV's world, the first thing you notice is that every single creature is grazing back and forth in a small localized zone. It feels dead.
Especially in wide open zones like Occult Crescent, why not have a few animals running around? Doing different foraging activities? Drinking water or basking in the sun? Showing their bellies? You could even have some cute ones doing various cutesy things?
FFXIV has already done simulated battles in Stormblood, do you think they might try to rehash the same concept in Evercold?
Or considering that the theme is "Beyond the Lifestream" will it take on more of an isekai twist similar to FFXI, FFXV, FFXVI collabs?
Its a shame, the content had amazing rewards and was fun to do when you had a team you could rely on.
Chaotic had a similar problem to Forked Tower Blood where 1-2 weak links could wipe the raid.
Instead of fixing a few small problematic pain points, (towers in Chaotic and snowballs in FTB) they opened up Chaotic to unsync and offered a bypass of FTB rewards, making the rewards effectively worthless long-term.
Chaotic could have been repeatable group content similar to BA, now its just unsync that will get easier every expansion....
What will be her main business if tomestones are gone?
