(+) Yeah! (+)

Rabanastre was fun

I remember FFXII pretty well, but it's probably been over 15 years since I played FFT so I'm not sure I'm seeing all of those references

---

the finger mechanic is the best mechanic in the game and i'm really sad the fight ends before you get to see it used again

---

The spinning finger?

I was totally failing at that and someone had to pull me into the safe zone

---

oh, maybe your alliance took long enough to see it again

1st time they just introduce the mechanic, 2nd time they have you dodge like 2 aoes with it

Don't worry, both tarchia and the forgiven rebellion use it!

You can watch 50 people die at once to rebellion due to it, it's great!

---

sorry but the best mechanic in the game is MATH in Lighthouse because it resulted in this



and also because it was pretty hilarious to watch people die to math (until the raid wiped)

---

The first time I ever did lighthouse, I was close to blackout drunk

The only thing I really remember from the entire raid is GUYS I GOT THIS IM AN ENGINEER I KNOW MATH

I'm pretty sure I did it right but really who can say

---

I did Ridorana Lighthouse for the first time once Shadowbringers was already out, and was the only person doing the raid for the first time. Despite having no advance warning of any mechanics, I was able to figure out what the maths boss was requiring you to do. It was funny but also really sad to witness half of the raid seemingly incapable of basic maths.

I just read up on that mechanic last night and lmao

...though if I were to ever fuck it up as a physics grad student that would be extremely embarrassing...!

---

if you zone in too much on your rotation it's perfectly understandable if react late, or don't pay enough attention to your surroundings, or if you brainfart on what "indivisible" is trying to imply

but some people just give up from the beginning cuz heh heh pew pew alliance raids

also: you don't want to know how many discussions of "IS ONE A PRIME NUMBER" this fight has triggered

---

Update: I can do math

---

Finished the Ivalice raids

Those were great!

---

getting sucked into glamour fantasy 14 and it's horrible

who has some cloth-softening powder for sale

---

my glamour is just assorted individual pieces i liked over the past few raid tiers, mostly around the time of stormblood third tier

omega coat of healing and augmented scaevan healing mask are sick

---

Head gear always turned off here.

---

I often have my head gear turned off. Haven't bothered with glamour yet, though.

Finally got around to getting my ARR artifact weapon last night! Glad I could solo the chimera/hydra... I can't imagine the queues for those would have been fun.

I just got four from a map, I can craft the glams that need it if you want those straight-up

They're part of Trial roulette so it's the same as any other ARR Trial.

---

Oh, I can craft the glams, I just can't afford the powder right now given what it's going for on the market


---

not only are they part of trial roulette, they're awesome to get in trial roulette!

---

Ah good to know, guess I'll do them legitimately next time

Got my weapon to 100. 100->110 looks terrible, though!

---

Any point in taking your Grand Company squadron past 50?

---

I don't recall there being an real reason. You get emotes after 10 command missions, and you can rank up with the regular stuff, and I believe that's it.

I used my squadron mostly to level random dps classes in the laziest way possible: by ordering them to attack a mob, alt tabbing, and coming back 10 minutes later to move to the next one

I've done like 2.5 of the books and want to die

In better content news

Sigmascape V1.0: Oh my god phantom train
Too bad you can't suplex it here!

Hey so apparently starting with the patch story for 5.3, you're going to need to have the Crystal Tower raid series completed to do the MSQ. It was recommended to do it before Shadowbringers, but now they're actually making it mandatory.

To clarify for anyone not there yet, it will be mandatory for the Shadowbringers postgame, the expansion story up to that point will still be accessible (though you'll have to do it later anyways).

---

I was on the book phase for months. It helps if you have a friend willing to plow through the hard dungeons for you (since you need the weapon equipped on the last boss augh)

Although I guess with 80 gear it's probably easier. Weapon is a lot of stats though

---

Crystal Tower??? But I dont wanna!!

---

With 70 gear and the forced zodiac weapon all of the dungeons have still been easy to solo thankfully

What sucks is camping specific fates (and just the pure volume of stuff per book)

---

Alphascape V1.0: Garland status: knocked down

---

alphascape good tier

---

Omfg

Shadowhunter is Gaius

Voice actor changes strike again!

---

Alphascape V4.0 beated!

That was a really cool fight! Also omg sad Alpha and Alpha's rescue mission were so cute

---

Flying in ARR zones coming in 5.3 (confirmed via live letter). I never thought I'd see the day.

---

Now when is NG+ for ARR

---

My Little Chocobo is also required now. Funny, I actually didnt even get my chocobo until completing Shadowbringers!

Same patch, probably! They most likely only delayed it this long so they could do it and the ARR revamp at the same time.

---

Is it finally time for the long awaited revenge of Unreal Rihtahtyn sas Arvina?

---

Finally soloed Final Coil of Bahamut. Man, original Alisaie VA was bad. 20 ilvls on Paladin did the trick to get past the adds in T11.

---

been jp voices since somewhere around leviathan

early arr eng voices were definitely questionable at times

holy shit how could you stand traversing expansion zones with no mount access

---

pretty sure you can mount up immediately upon joining a GC in msq, maybe even earlier

you're unlikely to have another mount but it's not impossible, pretty sure i put off getting mine for a month or two for some reason

---

Yeah Ive been able to use mounts for a long time.

---

Huh, I could have sworn that quest used to be required for mounts even if you already had one from an event or account-wide thing like the veteran rewards

---

Finally made it to Shadowbringers

Hype

Eulmore: omg Zorn and Thorn
.I'm defintely feeling like Eulmore is gonna be doing something fucked up to the people accepted into the city and this random miqo'te (or whatever the fuck they're called here) dude Alphinaud is letting get in instead of him is totally screwed
