Yeah, the things I can teach are probably Rogue/Ninja, summoner, and healing with Scholar... and maybe Dragoon. Sunblade knows way more than I do about everything else, especially tanking because I don't really tank outside of using Dark Knight during FATEs. He can probably talk more about crafting and gathering since he has all of his gatherers at 60 somehow while I'm stuck in level 20 gatherer and level 30 crafter mediocrity.

But yeah, anything about Scholar/Ninja, I know pretty well. My understanding of Bard is pretty shaky even though I'm learning more about it while levelling it up recently, but my understanding of Black Mage is semi-passable. Pugilist/Monk is hilariously the one I'm weakest with even though it's the role I started the game with before swapping to rogue/ninja. Otherwise, I know most of the DPS roles and what they do.

Sunblade taught me how to Ninja, but I'm better than him at it now. I can beat him at that, at least.

Because he disconnected multiple times during our FF14 wedding, and I got mad and threw knives at him.

MMOs really need to figure out how to dispense with the fragmented shard worlds thing ... like imagine if you had to go around asking your friends "which facebook server are you on" and have to choose between which group of friends/stalking targets you liked better.

According to my Steam account I put in 52 hours during my free month of FFXIV, but at least a day or more of that was downloading patches. I signed up on the same server as my younger brother but I always felt bad having him do dungeons with me since most of his classes were so much higher. He wants me to play more but I haven't felt compelled to pay for any more time and its been like 2 weeks since my free month ended.

I was thinking about this awhile back, why no one has come up with a solution for this in 2015. Is the data load really that heavy? I don't know enough about databases to undestand why.

I'm nearly to the end of the base game content in FFXIV (Level 46, like 9 more Main Scenario Quests to go)

I've made it here in 2 months of casual play with a toddler; if you game like a boss I'm sure you can hit base cap (Level 50) in a month.

Definitely the best Final Fantasy game since the PlayStation 1 era. Full of fanservice that's not annoying, a decent (if not great) story, and it's just FUN.

You can play it as a solo game, more or less; Dungeon and Duty finder makes it easy-peasy to join up with others for dungeons when necessary.

In conclusion FUCK FINAL FANTASY XV

The Legend of Sunblade · « **Reply #1214 on:** November 02, 2015, 03:52:49 PM »

One of the things that makes XIV the most for me is the music. Masayoshi Soken is hands down the best music composer SE has under their wing, and letting him do the music in not just a main FF title, but a game that requires as much variety in music as an MMO does has allowed him to flex his muscle and compose some of the best music in the series, whether its original tracks like Hard to Miss, Ultima Weapon and silly stuff like Seasons to arrangements from earlier games like Battle on the Big Bridge, Labyrinth of the Ancients and Cloud of Darkness' theme. It just all does a really really good job of making you feel like you're playing a whimsical FF title from back in the day rather than the heavy-handed shit we deal with these days.

bluemax · « **Reply #1215 on:** November 02, 2015, 05:14:10 PM »

There were a couple of areas with music that sounded like it was out of Xenoblade. Not that that's a bad thing as the music was about all I liked from Xenoblade.

This is definitely one of the finest FF games ever. The main story in 2.0 (A Realm Reborn) was just ok. Part of what held it back was it's reliance on 1.0 characters which the majority of the player base wasn't familiar with. Frankly the best story in 2.0 was the Binding Coil of Bahamut story. An ancient advance race had locked Bahamut inside an artificial moon that was intentionally crashed into the planet. Bahamut was mysteriously defeated but now began regenerating himself and had to be stopped. THAT was a fucking cool story. But that was locked behind the hardcore cycle of raids. I think by the time 3.0 came out, only about 10% of the player base had finished the final raid to see the story. The coolest cutscene in the game (and indeed one of the coolest in all Final Fantasy ever) was locked behind the 12th raid in a 13 raid cycle.

However, the 3.0 (Heavensward) main story is largely self-contained and is probably my favorite Final Fantasy stories ever. The new raid-specific story content can be experienced in an easy mode raid setting now.

FFXIV can easily be solo'd if you just want to experience the story mode. The duty finder will automatically find three other players for you to clear any multiplayer dungeons you need to advance in the story.

The uncompressed CG cutscenes look great. I wish they'd rescan the original art for the 2D pre-rendered environments, but from that trailer they're still using the low res versions. IX has long been towards the top among FF games for me. It's safe to assume they'll provide a speed-up option and maybe an option to turn off random encounters. If so this version may confirm its spot as my favorite FF.

Pretty sure most of the original background art no longer exists. I think there was a blog post about that a year or so ago.

So I'm back into FFXIV. Starting a new character. I basically have a question, what's end game now like? Do you still have to get the special class armor where you payed with those "tokens" from the end game dungeons and your +1 weapon? Or can you skip that stuff and go into the expansion.

Positive Touch · « **Reply #1232 on:** December 31, 2015, 04:12:14 PM »

lol endgame is still the same with collecting those tokens. a lot of the level 50 multilayer stuff is hard to get in to bc a lot of players moved on to the expansion. you can't actually start the expansion tho until you finish the main quest AND the story of all five of the updates they released. it's annoying.

also I'm sure they'd update it like ten and redo a bunch of the old assets so it'd look a lot better than just a res bump

ok yeah I saw you mention that, but can I ignore the previous level 50 equipment and just go into that stuff with normal gear?

Positive Touch · « **Reply #1235 on:** December 31, 2015, 06:50:58 PM »

well you'll need SOME kind of gear that'll meet the item level requirements for missions, but no it won't have to be your job quest gear or the gear bought with special currency. hell, with how much money you have at the end of the game you might just be able to buy good enough gear from the market board.

The Legend of Sunblade · « **Reply #1236 on:** January 04, 2016, 06:45:16 AM »

The main scenario job quests in FF14 will straight up give you the gear to use at level 50 now. No need to go out of your way to get stuff.

I'd be so happy if I didn't have to use the fucking speed booster and the game comes with speed enhancements at release. There's no reason at all FFIX should have the load times and battle system speed it had in 2000.

I can't wait to replay it. FFIX was my favorite FF when it came out, and I have been unable to replay it to completion only once because the speeds are so fucking awful.

FFIX stands as the first game I tore open. I know it's an easy game, but I beat that game in a month with 100 hours clocked, and had 20 hours put in and was off disc 1 by the time Thanksgiving break was upon us. Thankfully Thanksgiving break was the week after it came out. I played the shit out of that game like no game I played before it. Good memories; even the awful strategy guide. I had never played a game with such ruthless abandon before FFIX.

Of course, the following year, I had 40 hours clocked in FFX before Christmas break was over.

I miss FF, but it's not the same anymore. I've accepted that. At least I have my memories.

demi · « **Reply #1247 on:** July 26, 2016, 01:44:16 PM »

Its a decent length game.

I'm not sure on grinding spots, but honestly the game is pretty simple enough to not concern yourself with advanced classes. Chemists are pretty fucking good, esp when they can use guns down the road. When you unlock more "story" characters (Orlandu the GAWD, Agrias the GAWD, etc.) you can drop your randos for them.

The only real roadblock is Velius, he will either be the easiest fight ever or he will make you drop the game right there.

Positive Touch · « **Reply #1248 on:** July 26, 2016, 01:47:32 PM »

it's like 30 - 40 hours iirc. grinding isn't really necessary; just do some of those Tavern jobs and fight some random battles if necessary. later on you'll get a character that's so good he can help you win every battle with ease.

also most important thing is MAKE RAMZA LEARN AUTO POTION ASAP. you will need it in a certain battle that takes place in a sequence of fights where you can permanently get stuck. LEARN AUTO POTION

I played PS1 version just after it came out; think I got stuck early on, after the first one-way boat journey. I wasn't powerful enough to deal with some swamp, and it was only two locations I could get random encounters in, to power up. I ended up losing steam, and then buying it one every subsequent version but never having played it. I should get back to the iOS version instead of wasting time with F2P garbage.
