Alliance raids seem to have weaker stories in general for some reason. Think I'd say the worst 8-man raid has a better story than the best alliance raid.

Speaking of which, is it worth doing the Komra weekly quests?

My stance is that most of the Alliance Raids have great storytelling INSIDE the raid itself but are really lame outside of it.

As for Komra.

Haha.

I mean no, but it's effortless so just do it for the 6 weeks you need to get the epilogue.

Crystal Tower's definitely solid and has some good ideas, but suffers a bit from ARR syndrome where those ideas are undeveloped and could've been executed better. It might still be the best alliance raid storywise though? Let's see, a ranking of pure story...

Crystal Tower > Sky Pirates > Nier > Ivalice?

Naw unless it's Syrcus this is boring as hell. Labyrinth in particular I hate. Level 50 Reaper also sucks.
Labyrinth is the only one I get enjoyment from because its funny to try to get people to skip the second Ancient Flare from the final boss. "Stay in on 2nd Ancient Flare or no balls".

You either do it because enough people stay in and its really easy to do, or you get some coward dissenters and cause a wipe which usually starts an argument and its fun to watch the world burn.

Otherwise if I never saw another Crystal Tower raid again in ADR I'd be over the moon (giggity Endwalker pun)

i woke up early today, logged in instant queue at 10:30am, did some roulettes, realized i needed more sleep, so went back to bed with my controller setting an alarm to press a button every 25 minutes

woke up again a couple hours later, did one roulette, and then got d/ced. now in a primetime saturday queue of 4000.

so worth it.

its okay though i've pretty much done everything i want to do, i've got SMN/SCH, GNB, DNC 90, cleared both ex trials on all of them, with full set of ex trial weapons and accessories on all of them

so i don't really need to play more atm other than leveling a few more jobs for the future. mostly i want to get a crafter to 90 so i can self-meld, it's annoying not being able to

I don't know if this is a late ShB thing or an EW thing but these updated unsheath/sheath animations (at least for DRG?) for cutscenes are great. Wish we had them in regular gameplay. D:

It's really weird they did this because it literally doesn't fit the mood at all. I mean I sort of get what they were going for, but it just is so 'off'.

yeah, i legit thought this was a glitch, i tried to zone out and zone back to get the track to update properly. and.. it didn't. it was actually driving me insane, it was so annoying. didn't help that this was at like 6am after staying up all night playing.

89/90 MSQ: perhaps it's the sleep deprivation but I ugly-cried a bit when the music hit the vocal layer. I mean, yeah, they've done this "deprive you of party" thing to the point where I saw it coming a mile away, but then you do the slow walk to a theme that started as ambient dreadful droning and became... that.

I'm no trained musician but it was just gorgeous.

even without customs just do a few more rounds and you'll be fine, I got them super easy and am content with that until I actually need more

same for crafting gear, even. Nothing is challenging in the game yet that I am loking at (note: I am not an expert but even in mostly 80 gear my crafters have been unchallenged, the new abilities are nice)

I mean I hope they do too just cuz it would be nice to get

But there's going to be a limit to how much they can give. 7 days of game time for all of the active subscriptions is... like literally hundreds of millions of dollars they're throwing away for a gesture of good will/good PR.

I'm kind of expecting more myself but probably not more than a few more days.

Hundreds of millions...? How many subscriptions do you think they have? 7 days is $3 worth, so that would mean 66 million subs when they only just hit 25 million total accounts a week or two ago

I think I've heard they have around 2 million paying subscribers currently but I dunno if that's accurate

What is the typical method for getting Endwalker Clusters for Hand/Land Materia? I had one of each type for them before but don't know where they came from. I have plenty of combat ones from running roulettes.

I also have over 100 of each of the old ones, not that there's any use lol.

Last(?) 88 quest question:

So in the harbor scene there are a ton of people that show up from the various raid sidequests etc. Was there anything specific to Eureka beyond one casual mention of the place by Hancock if you've finished BA? I think that's the only piece of content I haven't done other than a bunch of savages (and delubrum savage) so I was wondering if I missed out on a scene because of that.

The only other reference to Eureka I remember is are some lines at the start that the receptionist at Baldesion Annex is related to Ejika.
