    SWTOR

    Maybe they fixed SWTOR combat then since I last played. Always felt a bit janky to me. FF's is slower for sure, especially before you are leveled and don't have any off global stuff, but overall they felt about the same to me (not as good as WoW combat feels, but not bad overall).

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I didn't get to see the actual strat, but seemed like it's a pretty broken thing to be able to despawn whatever add it is with a trinket

    How many poetics does it take to do a full one? Been forever since I did it. Just join some hunt trains and you can stack poetics pretty quick.

    Quin guy seems like normal bad mmo player watching the clips of him just running into circles. Not everyone is going to like the game, shouldn't be a thing at all.

    So apparently on KT you can despawn a tank add using a trinket off heroic KT/fatescribe, let Echo kill Mythic KT in like 20 pulls. That's some pro strats (also great design Blizz)

    Guess we'll get to see where the real wall is soon, Limit 8/10 now while Echo is 7/10 doing splits that Limit already got done.

    Yeah I remember killing it with the first group I got just queueing for it, took like 5 or 6 pulls, but I must have had some decent people b/c we cleared it.

    2021 NFL Offseason: QB Carousel Imminent -- Retirement Boogaloo

    Obviously Brady probably moves around less than any other QB in the NFL, and goes down instantly if he feels too much pressure...but playing on that for a full season is crazy.

    I think 6 has eclipsed 7 and has for awhile now for most noise about it. I never really hear 4 being the best, not that it isn't good, it's just kind of so far back other games clearly surpassed it.

    Thought the story had some slow points, too, but it was one of the better ones. If Soken even matches some of the heights from ShB for EW, I'll be amazed.

    Are they getting creamed? Obviously they end up beta testing the first go through and EU guilds get to watch all their strats for early bosses to clear more efficiently.

    Feel like 9 doesn't get lost at all. After 6 and 7, it's probably picked as "the best" the 3rd most.

    Yeah I've always thought the triple leves were the quickest, but I know the Ishgard stuff was big for awhile and people still use it to level (I never really participated outside of relic tools stuff in Diadem). GC Turn ins and Beast tribe for whatever level range just nice quick stuff can do...

    This varies server to server, and remember that you can travel to any other server on your datacenter and still buy from there (but not sell). I will say a lot of older mats that I had random stockpiles of were spiking in prices a little this past week. Made a few mil selling stuff. Usually...

    Yeah it was kind of crazy when Nomura revealed that and Nojima was like, oh yeah, we were going to do that. Definitely would have changed the dynamic completely. I don't know if that meant they still would have killed Aeris/Aerith off earlier in the game, too, or if that's what they ended up...

    2021 NFL Offseason: QB Carousel Imminent -- Retirement Boogaloo

    What if their scheme was supposed to be press man on that play, though? Would be more on the D coordinator for making him play a way he isn't comfortable doing/not capable of anymore. I mean every CB is going to get beat like that over the course of the year more than a few times. I'm...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    It's ironic, because with 7 Remake details came out that Nojima literally wanted to kill off most of the party in 7 when you come back to Midgar late in the game, only having the 3 main party members (either that you chose or that the game picked, not sure which) surviving while everyone else...

    Well one, I never really gave a shit about Edward, he was kind of whatever as a character. The twins were actively spying on you at first when they join your party, and aren't with you long enough to make you care about them all THAT much, or at least I didn't. Yang/Cid cared about a little...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    It's funny b/c Tellah is really the only one that dies in 4, Edward, Yang, Palom/Porom all survive in the end, so I never got that "higher stakes" feel, really. Better story is debatable, although I kind of feel you on the size of the cast being a thing. I think 6 does a great job at giving...

    Yeah obviously 1 isn't mine, either. 6 was also the 3rd I played, and it's my 2nd favorite behind 7, those 2 have a bit of a gap between them and other FF's aside from maybe ShB in XIV

    Out of curiosity, when was it better?

    I find that if people really like 4 and 6, they tend to like 9 a lot, too. More high fantasy versus the steampunk feel. 8 has a passionate group that praises it, always was a big disappointment for me.

    They always say most people's first FF is their favorite. Unless you're old like me and played FF1 on the NES. But all the good ones like 7, 6, 10, Tactics, 9/4/12 all hit well.

    Question is can that actor pull off badass Kang (assuming they use the same guy).

    This is definitely the best way I've seen it put. A lot of people rave about 5.3 MSQ and how it ends, which I get, to a degree...but I still argue the climax of 5.0 is the high point, for the very reason you point out. That is still present in 5.1-5.3, but not to the same degree for me. 5.0...

    Loki

    This one thing I think they could have done better, have He Who Remains do a better job of explaining the relative power/big bad levels by discussing Thanos as some "local" issue to this one timeline, while pointing out how much bigger in scope variants of someone like he who is controlling...

    Honestly pretty satisfying, if leaving a whole bunch of questions still.

    The telling well is the main thing, and the actual story gets better beyond ARR for sure. Your level of tolerance for ARR suggests you will enjoy expansion story more.

    Rashford did what he wanted, sending keeper wrong way, he just trimmed it too close and hit the post. Guys like Sterling just watching a 19 year old have to step up as the 5th shooter in the Euro Final is just ridiculous, though.

    Right, who would want to watch a sport where you can actually see the best 3 players of all time play in a single era against one another. "Boring".

    SWTOR

    Actually useful the individual story instances they can't actually follow him into. I still remember good times leveling in this game, and some of the later story was actually pretty good shit. They really dropped the ball with this game, even if it has kinda had an extended lifespan by going FTP
