    Man Baldesion is something. It's a really specific thing though, it's not a regular type of content.

    Just turn them in, their point is just to unlock the dungeon. And, uh, every healer point is to balance DPS and healing.

    Leveling roulette gets you the bonus only once daily. If you're leveling a healer, highest level dungeon you can run works well and gives you practice. Otherwise, it's POTD leveling to make you want to kill yourself. Not that the dumb groups you'll get in DF won't make you want that too.

    Every job quests giving skills for HW/pre-HW jobs is a design they changed later on. Past lvl60 for old jobs and new jobs don't get any skills from job quests aside from the lvl70 capstone skill.

    Avoiding the French from Moogle is worth the 20 bucks or so. :D I was so glad when they split Light and Chaos and Moogle ended on the other side from me.

    If they are Roegadyns and it's not something incredibly 4th wall breaking, the adjective noun names are actually lore accurate. https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Roegadyn/Naming

    It's kinda been an issue, they've been trying to keep the same numbers of buttons for jobs from expansions to expansions (some jobs being already bloated enough), and it's mainly the below 50 levels that suffered from the pruning. Though boosting won't change shit when you're running dungeons...

    XIV always did it like this. Flying in the old ARR zones was only added in 5.3, couldn't fly there until recently. Flying in expansions has always been locked behind Aether currents and quest completion for the zone. But at least, you can fly there as soon as you are done with the zone. It's...

    Also for trials there are always two tanks, one of them twiddling his thumbs because barely any of them need an offtank. You can hope the other will MT.

    Nero is an antagonist until Crystal Tower. After you defeat the Empire at the Praetorium, he kinda goes on to do his own thing in search of Allagan technology. He was in the same class as Cid in the academy and is kinda jealous/looks up to Cid. He doesn't really follow the Imperial "ideals", he...

Tanks running away to kill stray mobs when we get to shifting sands to go to the next part of the dungeon, stuff like that...

    Uematsu only did main themes (up to SB) and a few tracks once ARR released (1.0 was lot of his music though). The main genius at work here is Soken. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_of_Final_Fantasy_XIV

    You'll have like a 45+ minutes cutscene at the end of 2.55, but they'll warn you beforehand. Oh and yeah, if you just did Keeper of the Lake, you still in fact have 2 trials left before the end.

    FFXIV can kinda have a "casual toxicity" to it. Bads are not pushed to improve, in most content they are fully expected to be carried by competent players. So you end up with freestyle samurais or dumb as bricks tanks. The sad part is that some people could actually and would accept advice, but...

    I always loved Keeper of the Lake. You have one more patch including a trial ( and a ridiculous fetch quest or two I'll admit) . I'd suggest to not skip from here on.

    Reading popsicle kinda feel like reading Utnayan during his halcyon days in the forums. Very high level sperging. I wonder if he also has "notes" to check.

    It's crazy when you contrast this to Blizzard's dev cycle. FFXIV team managed to release content like clockwork for ARR and two followup expansions until COVID hit around patch 5.2.

    You have to remember that the game is built upon the jank that was 1.0. To this day, the developpers still struggle with some of the shitty code and other weird database decisions that were made before them (which is also why inventory management is such a mess). I still get annoyed that you...

    That's the difference between WoW and FFXIV : WoW devs will do EVERYTHING in their power to make you go through the content they created repeatedly. Meanwhile, FFXIV devs are like "Here's a new system/type of content, do it if you'd like". They make different and varied types of content...

    What I'd recommend to do if you want to push a tank/healer job is what i'm currently doing leveling WHM : alternate between the highest dungeon you can do and some POTD. I usually end up running each dungeon two times plus a serie or two of 10 floors in POTD before I get to the next dungeon...

    "Mix of melee and range" is a bit overstating it. You have one melee phase consisting of a 3 hit combo everytime you're done building black/white mana and it's not flexible at all. Most of the time you'll be casting. At least the casting rotation is not too rigid since it's proc based.

    Then again applying Storm's Eye has diminishing return depending on the number of targets in AOE situation, even more so as long as you don''t have the second part of the AOE combo that refreshes it. But yeah, the number of tanks I see hitting one AOE and then switching to single target...

    Macros are terrible. No queuing and wonky as fuck. Good god please don't macro your combos. Also, that GNB combo is 2 skills, and one AOE finisher. And you should only be using your AOE OGCD (Bow Shock) in your No Mercy window.
