So I have a question that has popped up in a few different people's reviews of the MSQ and I am interested in what you all think. Who do you think the target audience for the MSQ is? What age/demographic? FFXIV is now over 10 years old, and even if you were 13 at the start you are now 23 and...

If the 4th is the 'Cowboy Western' zone than yeah. I enjoyed it cause your tagalong chatterbox is gone, but not much really happens. The story there has very minor relevance as they talk about Eren's history a little bit, but its all pretty much repeated again later so you can skip it. I did...

I didn't bother trying to remember her whole sequence. Just focused on 2 or 3 spots and watched those so I could just step back and forth between them. You should be able to see an order in a much more local spot like that. Move to this one, than this one, and if needed either back or to a...

I thought the raids weren't bad. There were some new mechanics introduced that hadn't been seen in any other raids that were interesting, but they weren't particularly difficult to figure out if you paid attention (That latter part is important). Overall mechanics I would say were enjoyable...

Is there any server us old folks are gathering on, since we can't move around easily and I'd rather play shitty survival games with friends than solo.

Sorry, think I wasn't clear enough. EX Roulette, or EXDR is what we call the expert duty roulette in my FC. The end game dungeons. Yeah, the extremes won't be on the roulette for the common person, but the expert dungeons will be. And that is what I question about. When we start seeing more...

I realize I should have been more concise, and my 3am ramblings prolly should have waited till I slept. She does say she is proud of him, but in a more oblique passive way. People have commented that they hate her character, and I wanted to get at that and how different she is in the other...

So I will not claim she is the overall director of the story path. I think there are other issues underneath, but I do think Kate is a part of the problem. I understand that there is a bit of a collaborative approach as they want the story to be relevant to all languages so the EN localization...

This has nothing to do with Grummz, and until you mentioned it I was unaware he was trying to insert himself into the conversation. This is poor writing and I am going to guess a self insert or at least a character she identifies with. She /is/ a writer, despite being a 'localization team' on...

Maybe...

Wuk's VA isn't good. She's prolly bad, but we've had other bad VAs and stuff before. What we haven't had is a bad VA who speaks more than twice any other VA and is the sole focus of the entire MSQ. Even conversations between other characters, she butts in and is sucking all the air out of the...

I don't really think this game is, technically speaking, good. However, I am having a lot of fun with it. Story and itemization etc are all just kinda meh, but I can't help but have fun grappling around and killing stuff. Its... fulfilling.

So I've given this some thought as I keep logging out to take breaks cause holy fuck this game, but. I'll try to give you a short version here. I'll do a long version later if you all want to explore it further. This story is written by technicians, not artists. These are people who have...

Question, do you learn weapons proficiencies by type, or do you learn them by individual weapon? Cause I thought it was the former, but it looks like its the latter...

So apparently a newer Asus motherboard and a a 4070ti super is a bad combo. Updated graphics drivers and motherboard, and I still can't get this thing to make it past compiling shaders. Nevermind. Asus and other motherboard manufacturers keep overclocking their shit past Intel's specs...
