Speaking of XI, I've never played it, and it's currently on sale. I might check it out, but I don't think I really have time to play both XIV and XI. >.> But also, doesn't it still require a sub? That's kinda crazy for such an old game that barely anyone plays anymore.

There's 2000 people online at any one time on the server I play on, even in the dead of night. The game is a lot less dead than you probably think it is. They also need to make money to keep the servers afloat somehow.

All that said, it's still a solid Final Fantasy game. Chains of Promathia is still one of the best stories in Final Fantasy.

I would have liked CoP a lot more if it wasn't for motherfucking Three Paths. My god it was jarring having to spend days on that shit.

Okay so the crafter FATE is stupid easy. you go to the supply pile. click it. go to the workbench. 5 feet away. click it. and go to the house under construction and click it. there were so many people doing that that I only managed like 4 contributions. but I was in a party so even then we got gold credit and 500 Firmament scrip. And,yes, there's a new scrip currency for The Firmament. There's crafting stuff and materia available. Plus mounts, minions, orchestrion rolls, etc. This is gonna be a nice thing to farm every day after I finish leveling everything.

Also there's going to be another FATE in 8 hours, and step 2 progress didn't begin yet, so idk how that's gonna work.

Okay, so, dataminers. Love them or hate them, they've pretty much confirmed The Firmament is going to be a housing ward. I know that when you get there, Count Fortemps asks you what you know about player housing, and you can tell him "I own a house." very VERY heavily implying that the zone you're in that looks like a housing ward is a housing ward. But, also you can teleport to The Firmament through the Ishgard aetheryte menu, just like a normal housing ward. But, dataminers found even more. The zone is flagged as a 2.0 zone. So it's connected to Ishgard, but you could in theory teleport there if there was an aetheryte. Just like every other housing ward, including Shirogane. Even if you don't have access to 4.0+ you can still teleport to Shirogane houses. And, it even shares file pathing with other housing wards.

Now, when these houses will become available, nobody is sure. I would be surprised if it opens up before 5.5. I could even see it opening up in 6.0 or 6.1. But 2 whole years is such a tease. I really hope it opens up before that, I'm a DRG at heart, I need to live in Ishgard.

Edit: But, also, I love that Squenix is just like "you want more housing? build it yourself!". It's like they're giving you the illusion that you the player are solving the housing crisis.

Materia is so confusing now. Grade VIIs are worth less than Grade VIs in terms of stat gains. It's really odd. What they should have done was like switch the stat values for VIs and VIIs, and just turn all the VIs you have into VIIs. Would have been weird but it wouldn't mean values rise and rise then dip dramatically then rise dramatically.

Yeah, I think VIIs were set up to be the overmeld materia since VI and VIII cannot be done past that first overmeld slot.

But my plan is to use concerts to get my crafters to 75-76, and coordinate with the crafting leves I haven't done yet so that each crafter hits 80 with the 110th unique leve. I want to get them all to 80 in one sitting too, and have someone broadcast it on Twitch or something for the added lulz. If done right, that will be 140 points worth of achievements, or more, popping in under five minutes.

Too bad Recent only shows the last five.

My game itinerary for tonight:

- Run Kojin and Ananta quests for Dancer so the class comes closer to 61 (yes, I ran pixies with Bard this morning).
- Replenish aetheryte tickets real fast with third rank clan marks in Ishgard, and again with Dnc.
- Maybe Alliance Raids with Bard or White Mage, depending on AiN.
- If Concert happens, hop in with lv70 crafter.
- Continue msq from lv77 in Amh Araeng, and get flying and sightseeing vistas while I am at it. Reaching Kolusia would be a good stopping point for the night.

Away from the game, I will need dinner, a shower, and to move some boxes around to emulate the bookcases and DVD racks I don't yet have. In the morning, my folks are dropping by with some things for my apartment. So I might not be able to hop online again until tomorrow night after work.

I wish I had the money to retire already. lol

Alternatively, I can grab third rank hunt bills from Reach or Kugane if someone wants to kill the things for me for a little more exp for Dnc. I'm not counting on this happening, but it would mean hitching a ride with me on a two-seater and my free-ish teleports. We'll see what happens when I get to this point.

So I totes kicked butt at what I had planned last night. Tonight, instead of moving boxes around, I need to set up an air filter, which will be easy. Then I'll hop online to:

- Turn in rank-up quest with Pixies and do another round of their quests (Bard).
- Kojin and Ananta again on Dnc. Maybe daily hunts from Ishgard as well, but I'm flexible.
- Finish daily roulettes for War, plus Alliance for either Whm or Brd.
- Progress more with msq, and hopefully get Mt. Gulg done (we'll see as far as level goes, and time).
- Five Kholusia FATEs on War to top off first rank in the area and afford riding map before flight can happen.
- Get help with Kholusia currents.

Nice.

Last night. I got further than planned a little bit, but then the slightly aggravating thing happened where I disconnected while flying towards the last spot in Tempest/Amaurot. I was s tone's throw away, too. The reason I disconnected was because my sub ran out from when I had Rioka hop on to do the All Saint's Wake event on Aster and Lyra for me.

Another thing I did was pick up the i450 crafted gear from the mb. I visited Siren server to buy most of it, which saved me about a million gil or more in total. The jump from i412 was nice. I made sure to glam the axe to the Eureka one, and the left ring to my Eternal Ring. I'll have to do the rest later when I have time for it, but I'm thinking of changing my tank glam over to something else, including the top from this year's Moonfire Faire.

I'll resub tonight, as said, but someone on the achievement hunting linkshell said they want to finally try out HoH, so I'll probably help take them through that.

Gods, it's Monday, so it'll be one of the more exhausting days at work. @_@

dunno if you knew, but you can also augment that crafted gear now to 460 using goetia tomestones (the infinitely-farmable tome)

if it works the same way that it did in previous expansions, you trade either NQ or HQ gear for certificates (hq gives more), then you trade those certificates plus something obtained with goetia tomes for the 460 gear

you don't even have to trade in the item you intend to upgrade; the certificates can buy *any* gear... so if you stumble upon an upgrade for your chest and you already have a crafted chest, you could turn that chest into certificates and instead buy some upgraded 460 legs

I'm aware, but I only need this set to last me the next few months until it's time to make i480 gear for my main jobs. I will utilize 5.2's weekly tomes to get i490 (and eventually 500) gear for the few BiS available to my mains that way. Maybe all will go well, and I can get a few BiS accessories or belt(s) from Savage 5 and 6. I won't over-exert myself on that, though, since I'm not huge on the raiding scene.

Besides, it's not until 5.4 and 5.5 that I will put more effort into BiS or close-to-it.

So having only gotten Grand Cosmos from expert roulette like once since the dungeon released, I finally got it again today. So apparently when the boss does his rush and big swing, he can destroy all the unused furniture. And had I known that I wouldn't have made that mistake. Thanks for giving me Amaurot literally every single day for the past 3 weeks.

you get goetia for free anyways and there's nothing better to spend it on, at least

goetia crafted mats r poop money, and goetia gear itself is obsolesced almost completely already by gear that's higher ilvl and easier to get

no reason to not at least turn those tokens into a weapon, at least

At the very least I think it's going to win Community Support. Hopefully it wins the other 2 also!

Oh and they are working on a PS5 version of the game to nobody's surprise. And it's pretty much all but officially confirmed for Xbox.
I would post the twitter link but it has a word that looks like "fuck" in the account name(it's an abbreviation of FF and UK) so GFAQs won't let me post it XD

I looked at the lv 60, endgame gear, for casters, and I am less than impressed by most of it. Three pieces of gear I will want to run DS for before BLU's cap rises to that level, I'll be doing tome accessories, and then I will have to wait and see what BLU's lv60 gear looks like if we get some.

I am working to get Ast to 71 so it can do dungeons alongside Sch after Whm is done. Mnk is almost there as well, so I can run trusts with two groups of NPCs; Mnk and Sam for one and Drk and Pld for the other. Brd is still doing quests and FATEs, but Drg and Rdm may follow in time. I need to grind HoH with Dnc and Gnb at some point, though I've yet to touch Gnb since unlocking it.

I'd rather do Verminion for a day than play VIII. Gnb? I've had better things to do with my time than level a reminder of VIII. Hahaha

yeah, arr pld was by far the simplest

they're about equal to the other tanks now, if a bit more punishing but easier

their rotation, unlike every god damn other in the game, is on a 63 second cycle, so they just drift further and further away from raid buffs no matter how well they play

now you have physical burst phase and magical burst phase along with downtime filler

Whm was ready, but I ended up tanking anyways. Four doggos dropped the whole night, and I didn't get a single one. Next week is Shinryu, for which my Brd should be ready; we'll see.

I'm thinking I should slap some skill speed on my War so I can slip in the one last attack in so many instances where I need a tenth of a second. A tenth of a second spread across six or seven attacks is doable; in fact, I might be able to do more than that easily without making the other tanks suffer once they hit 80.

Pre-grats!

For me, I will be getting Gnb to 61 tomorrow via Kojin and Ananta dailies. Blm and Nin still are going to do Pixie dailies to get to 71 once I have geared them up as necessary. Brd needs a bow to last from 77 to 80 while doing FATEs and Tempest quests. I am using roulettes to get Sch/Smn up slowly, but may start doing dungeons in earnest soon.

I also need to cap tomes this week and finish my first time through Eden normal (3 and 4 remain).

Once Eden and Tempest are done, my side quests will be cleaned out, leaving dailies, dungeons, and FATEs. I am working also on Shared FATEs for ShB areas, and noticed that I am at around 8500/10k on the big FATE achievement. Some small part of me wants to line up my last class with the 10k mark and the last Rank 3 area. Pop so many achievements at once if I were to do that. lol

Ooooh. It's probably a sneak peek of an animation they'll play during the 14-hour broadcast.

But, interestingly enough, the 14-hour broadcast is 4 days away from FF's 32nd anniversary.

I lost count of how many of those were doing FATEs for ARR relics (both Brd and Whm) and doing the Animas in HW (for 11 of the 13 weapons since Zetas allowed for a couple skips). Then I did some FATEs while recruiting for my squadron because I wanted the specific Miqo girl from it via the challenge log. That's not counting all the FATEs I used to level in ARR, the grinding I did for the Yokai thing, or the trips through Diadem.
