    World visit is coming though. I'd expect the best way to enjoy the expansion will be to just fuck off to another world with less people and solo that shit with your Trusts so you don't have to deal with absolute fucking retards. That said a lot of people might also world visit somewhere else and...

    PLD will always feel kinda slow though even when you have the oGCDs. It's the more relaxed simple tank. WAR isn't much better imo, you do the big damage phases and shit but these mostly involve pressing one button repeatedly and weaving a couple of oGCDs in them. DRK is the only tank that kinda...

    I do think it'd be better if they would just let people pay for it now(which you can do already, there's an option for it if you prefer paying now so you know your finances and what not) and have access to the expansions though. With a caveat that they can't get a refund anymore. If they...

    You just make a new account with the code from twitch, then on your main account mogstation, find the refer a friend thing, click on it for your RAF code, then enter that on your other account and that's it. Log off if you're ingame to get the chocobo feathers. There's not much else to do, you...

    I wonder if they'll change the whale to 4seater, since it looks like there'd be enough room for 4 people on that big ass mount.

    Eureka, although it's kinda late for that. If the reworked Diadem shit they're planning uses similar Eureka leveling system or whatever though it'd be useful. Otherwise it's mostly glamour and what not. There's some fringe cases where you're running people through aether currents and say they're...

    I don't know the Yoko Taro and Yosuke Saito interview was pretty funny too. Anyway also forgot to mention in case people haven't watched or whatever or want to test the game out. They'll have the Starter edition(base ARR game) free with Twitch Prime at some point in the future, march I think...

    That's why the music is great in this game, it's not all your standard stuff, it goes kinda all over the place, from J-rock Shiva and J-Pop Suzaku to Techno Alexander, the epic chorus into opener song Bahamut and the Indian themed Lakshmi, the orchestral big FATE music and the jazzy Gubal...

    Also worth noting, if you preorder the expansion, on the 1st of march, you'll receive the preorder ingame bonus items(instead of having to wait until release), and these include the Aetheryte earrings, which gives +30% xp up to lvl 70(so all current content) and have stats that scale with your...

    Already see a bunch of whining because it's a tank and not a DPS though, as expected. Same would have happened if the situation was reversed too. I4ll probably give it a try, although I'm not super excited about it. Anyway fanfest was basically what was expected. I guess the extended trailer is...

    They said they're reworking DRK, sais that in 4.3 or whatever already, but who knows how it'll end up. I don't think it's THAT bad currently, it's just, if you want the super defensive tank and best offtank due to utility, then it's PLD, and if you want the monster of damage, threat and main...

    Fanfest keynote in less than 24hours now, 9AM GMT, which is I believe 4AM EST/1AM PST, so pretty late for the US. Excited about the reveals.

    Yeah crafted is definitely the best if you can afford one. Especially since it's upgradeable to 390 with 700mendacity. Other choices for endgame would be, run Sigmascape V4.0 4times(need to clear all of deltascape and sigmascape first, as well as have 325ilvl to enter), then get 1000 mendacity...

    Epic Games Storefront - A Good Incentive for Piracy

    That's a terrible fucking argument. That's the exact same argument as people defending shitty mmos because wow launched the same way forever and a half ago. "Well you can't expect to make a product that's as good as their direct current competition, but you have to remember that 15years ago...

    Epic Games Storefront - A Good Incentive for Piracy

    There would probably be less people angry about this new exclusivity if it didn't happen 2weeks before release, was marketed on Steam and then people got told that instead they're getting Epic store versions of the game(minus some, digital preorders I believe?), and apparently only after cdkeys...

    I'd do the roulettes for xp, just use 70 dungeons and expert(once unlocked) for tomes. The other roulettes do give tomes for completion but not for the actual run, so it's not that much. I mean you get like 40 just doing a 70 dungeon without a 1st time bonus(which happens relatively often even...

    Only O4N had a tank swap though, and with enough DPS you can ignore it due to the debuff wearing off during transition, even back in 4.0 you could not bother tank swapping for it with decent players, kinda like Susanoo EX. Kefka doesn't have anything that would force a swap on normal and O12N...

    Extremes/savage(and the original coil), generally. They don't do tank swaps in more casual content because people are fucking retarded or something. There's some casual fights that require 2 tanks but they're pretty rare(O12N recently for example). Generally what happens is in normal mode, the...

    I mean gunblade is the weapon I don't think the class will be called gunblade, that sounds kinda dumb. People were saying it'd be Soldier and it could definitely be something military sounding if the lore is basically "here's some Empire defectors, they're gonna teach you how they train for war...

    Next weekend, february 2nd. If they follow the usual pattern, they'll announce whatever the Gunblade class is, as well as show some slides on how it works(magitek cartridges, mostly melee but ranged potential or whatever, is a tank etc, just some ideas), show a short 40-50secs video of some of...

    No, the combat beast tribe quests are level dependant. 41+ iirc for the lowest. ARR tribes are kinda meh, but HW ones start right away at 50(maybe 51?) and give good xp all the way to 60, where you can do SB ones.

    Pagos is mostly fine now. The aetheryte levels being so much lower mean you can access all NMs early(although at 32 you could anyway), NMs drop a ton of crystals so you don't have to do Louhi and you also get like half a light bar per NM so light builds relatively fast. It still takes a little...

    I played with legacy today and didn't make too much of a difference, but didn't get the annoying shit where it makes you fucking turn sometimes when using a skill so that's better. I got surprised a couple of times when I was trying to make a small adjustment by backpedalling, and instead...

    Oh does it fix the thing with autoface where it'll make you run the wrong way for half a second if you're using mouse look sometimes? I've changed to autoface since I was tired of having to do jump spin casts but once in a while it shits itself and I run the wrong fucking way for a split second...

    If you've done the normal primal, you can take the quest for extreme unlock, regardless of what you did with other extremes. They're all in Kugane near the marketboard iirc, so you can just pick them all up and open everything. Rathalos is its own thing however, quest is at the Inn in Kugane...

    This isn't SJW faggotry. Chinese are ultra nationalists and making fun of them with racist shit, even though they themselves are racists as fuck, will get you a lot of hate. It's like trolling about Taiwan/Tibet/whatever, that shit triggers them real hard, because a lot of them won't ever think...

    I think all the casting/combat animations are the same, same for emotes, the only difference are running animations and autoattack animations maybe? Not too sure. I spent some time making chars and making sure I had stuff right, but most races I wasn't interested in from the start anyway. You...

    Really depends on how many keys you want to bind. I bind everything or close to personally. I try to keep consistency between classes too so that helps. Here's a full list of my PLD bind, spoiler because long: Ymmv but personally I hate having to click anything in the middle of combat, it...

    If you try again during the day or whatever, it'll generally go in. They have char creation restrictions based on server pop updated every few hours, so at prime time generally a lot of servers are blocked. Otherwise as mentionned you could make a char on any server on the same datacenter and...

    Honestly based on my anecdotical experience, I'd say there's no penalty, it's just pure RNG. I've taken 10+runs to learn dungeon stuff in full BLU groups, and 1-3runs to learn other stuff with a 70unsync. I've also learned all my primals shit unsynced obviously. And again, super RNG. Garuda was...

    I don't think the switch job exploit is necessary at all. I leveled the normal way and it was just fine? I mean yeah you have to do some water canoning for a whooping 5mins at the start, which is exactly what every other class has to do too while you do the hunting log to get started and can...

    On the flipside BLU is amazing for the turtle boss, since you can Tail Srew/Doom/Missile it down in like 3secs after it casts Diamondback. I'm not sure how or why they decided to make these inconsistent. I can get trials not being vulnerable but I feel all normal dungeons bosses should be...

    Ah I only tried turn 1 and it didn't work so I did a grp thing. Only took like 5runs anyway so no big deal I guess. Point of the class is more like a minigame kinda thing. You have some leveling with a unique class with unique conditions like paralyze and stun/freeze, then you have some...

    Note that there's a lot of skills you can learn in other places, much more easily. Here's a few I found(either myself or on reddit): Aqua Breath/Snort: Can be obtained in the Carnivale fighting those two there, much easier to farm since it's solo and can be done in a couple of minutes. Think...

    Completely shit at it pretty much. The class is broken in a few ways, but it's not like so broken it can do crazy things. It's probably not that much better at soloing than say PLD, as far as I've seen atm. I mean PLD at 50 would be shit but like PLD skills at 70 with the self healing and such...

    I did grind but it's really fast tbh. Was like, 8hours total, and I spent some time grabbing skills too on the way, I hit 50 with 25skills, all the overworld skills and a couple of dungeon ones. Some people hit 50 like 2hours in though, having someone kill shit for them. Tag a mob, have it...
