    I was actually going for a bored super model look. But it falls apart as the other facial expressions are too genuine, lol. Oh well, they are tweaking the models so they can more easily add hair styles to the viera and hrothgar. Still waiting to see how the hat situation works out, but i'm...

    There is some cool mounts and gear to get from PVP. But wacky doesn't even begin to describe actually playing it.

    They look bored. The faces are well animated during emotes, but the resting face is very bored. But the other face options were too much for me.

    Quin69 is trying FF14 now. Zeitgeist is real. Unlike Asmon, I don't think he'll dig it. Benchmark is out, jeez the bunny boys are ... well the best i've been able to manage is bored and pretty.

    Best bet is the discord. Otherwise fun with regex is n your future.

    I'd wouldn't be shocked if the bunny boys are in the benchmark character creator- depending on how far along they are. So you can get your phantasia setup if you're leaning that way.

    I was generally undergeared while leveling alt jobs. Partly for some vague challenge, and partly cuz cheap and lazy, but unlike tanks and dps, being undergeared is really rough as a healer. The job quests were especially stark for scholar- all their larger throughput heals are on cooldowns...

    Act install is way easier now, don’t install anything manually- the plugins basically have all the standard overlays built in now.

    The birb sucks as a tank, I wouldn’t put points there til you max the other 2. The tank barding you get is also uggo. The dps and healer ones are pretty nice tho. Drg and whm

    Some of it sure, but a decent chunk you need the right weapon equipped.

    Rip. I finished my arr relic. Didn’t do the e teapot follow up but that’s a heck of a grind. Almost done with a hsw one now. Grinds ahoy.

    They're not gonna bother with another race admittedly- but it would be cool to have a more uhh "menacing" shorty race.

    Mini cactpot is fairly easy to win all things considered.

    YeH most of them are buyable. You can play in the inn, your apartment, or house/fc house.

    The odds of you using the relic for anything serious are low- but with very few exceptions most classes are crit > dhit > x.

    The fireja of heaven LS still has some folks in it, but looks like Kriptini and Jaen are the only one with invite rights. Likely easier to whip up another one for the FC

    Your're still in my friends list from I assume the ISIS days, lol. Ask away or hit me up, or get an invite the cwls. Bowlocke Valeroy is the char name. I'm on relatively less now, in the lul before the expac. Just grinding away at some relics and leveling alt jobs.

    Yeah that sounds right, i kept the 4 slot on my char and the 2? on my manservants.

    Might as well spend a couple hours knocking out the dungeons unlocks, or drop em and pick em later. Nothing worse than not having a free slot for the next msq branch.

    That questline is pretty good. Weird ff7 callback crossed with Skies of Arcadia.

    You can also just right click and glamor items. Still need the prisms.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Lol that is a bit inscrutable, true. It'd take a wall of text to explain the nitty gritty- they rejiggered the system and left the old version in too. So it's a bit wonky - but just buy or craft a stack of the prisms and go to town. https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Glamours

    I'm morally against goody two-shoes pallies, but they do have some great looking gear. Is the various stages of the ARR and HSW pally relics. For when you embrace the glam end game.

    Someone posted a reddit thread with suggestions to spend poetics on a couple pages back, but it's really going to depend on your server.

    You have to finagle the camera a bit, but it’ll select then interact with the closest interactble thing,npc, shrub whatever. If you have to actually use a second item the yeah mouse and right click- or for newer quests just click the item icon in the quest header.

    That questline plants seeds that you wont see bloom for QUITE some time. But the payoff is pretty good imo. The raids are eh at this point, but decent spectacle I suppose. And a decent intro to raid mechanics- tho they'll MOSTLY be ignored. Blast shield wipes happen more often than they...

    Mash 0 on numpad. it's the magic button for interacting basically. Or x on (ps) controller.

    Honestly, it's silly to skip any of the cinematics in the dungeons/raids, if its your first time there. Yeaah you can watch them later in the inn, but it's really not the same.

    A decent amount do overall. Generally the ones that are rarer or have a bit of a grind to them. Way too many don’t unfortunately. Nanamzu mount music ftw.

    Poetics drop from the sky once you start doing daily MSQ and Alliance duties. Old relic weapons will eat up a ton if you bother with them, as linked a few posts back, but otherwise- i'm capped for weeks at a time on them. Can't personally bother to convert them to cash most of the time. Even...

    It takes forever to level them. Put it all into healer is probably the play. You can respec them later for a relatively pricey item. But it’s not a big deal.

    Depends on the gear, but a ton can be de-synthed.
