Poll of the Day > Final Fantasy XIV: Stormthread

(+) Yeah! (+)

HoH cleared! Just 2 more for my mount! We got super lucky and cleared 91-99 in like 20 minutes. It was nuts. just popping everything on the last 6 floors.

---

Another relic completed, this time for War and finishing the tanks. I don't even remember how many more total I have left to do, though it would be some easy math by looking at the Raw Emotions I have in my inventory.

I haven't been playing a whole lot of XIV the past month because I've been playing a file of Persona 5 Royal, which I'm almost done with.

---

Lyon, please. ;-;

RNG will not take things Lyon down.

---

Still trying for Lyon's note. Been busy this weekend though with family. Will probably try the duel in the next couple days.

---

I'm busy this week too for multiple reasons, including my older sister coming up here to visit.

Anywho, I have requested the early access weekend off from work, so hopefully I shall get it. I want to enjoy Endwalker and get to the end of the msq before the actual launch date. I'm still unsure which job I'm rolling with first, though. I'm tempted to go with a tank for the queue times since there will be a new healer and dps. We'll see.

I still need more mettle as well, being at 6/10/6 with a few million mettle on me at the moment. I also still need another 101 Artifacts from DR.

And to clear DRS.

As well finish my gwiber grind.

Also E4s for the mount.

If I can set aside the time to do all these things--dammit, work-- plus the Firmament grind for mounts and a couple items (including Casual Attire for Lyra's Drk), I'd be content at this point.

Just 2 days to the Job and Combat changes live letter!

Oh yeah doing masked carnivale weeklies is a REALLY good way to get hunt seals, which will become super valuable since I hear in Endwalker they plan to increase teleport fees by about 10x.

Yeah I have hundreds of tickets, but I'm gonna need more lol

---

Hundreds? How quaint. xD

So I got lucky with my platinum pack from the last tournament and got the Firion card which was the last one I didnt have.

Congrats! So you're 326/326?

Yes! Meta wise its not even as amazing if a card as other platinums, but still took me over a year to get because order same is such a bad ruleset.

Just need to get tournament leader title (40/50 wins) and grind out roulette matches at forgotten knight for trinity title (467/1000...) and ill have every card, reward, and achievement related to TT!

Im hoping endwalker addresses the issue of double horizontal 8 cards being unable to flip from the bottom, or give us some cards that can synergies better in defensive plus/same decks.

Live Letter in 12 hours!

---

Just hit 30 on my BLM last night. I got burnt out playing MSQ with my Bard. I'm going to get each class to 60 then finish the MSQ with whoever is the most fun.

Edit: nice.

Live Letter in 39 minutes!

---

I'm . . . growing tired of how they handle Bard. I see also that they are eliminating HQ raw mats as far as gatherers go, which takes a layer off the game for me while also inching it closer to XI's crafting system, which I hated. Will I still be playing XIV after 6.1? I don't even know how likely that is anymore...

i mean, it'll still be really nice for savage content where multiple people have to reposition at once, but it's so BORING and unflashy

and ultimately every mechanic is still gonna be doable without it

and sage is gonna be taken anyways instead...........

---

I can't wait for every Sage to buff themself then never do any dps.

Got the 20 million gil achievement from leves \o/

FFXIV was the fastest growing game on Twitch this summer. Will be interesting to see if this Trend continues when EW launches!

We shall see. Meanwhile, I'm looking at ActiBlizz and wondering how else they can take some hits in the next few weeks. All of these WoW players coming to XIV is good for XIV, but hmm.

bald man has said he doesn't really like streaming on twitch as a platform, so if he ends up moving to youtube, that's gonna put a dent in the numbers

My group beat our final of four master trials in FFXI today for our last glowy lockstyle/glamour weapons! wooo!

The fight: https://www.bg-wiki.com/ffxi/Sealed_Fate



edit: it was a 60min fight and we won with 47 seconds on the clock <_<

Congrats!

Final Fantasy series creator Hironobu Sakaguchi is playing XIV for the first time
https://www.siliconera.com/final-fantasy-creator-hironobu-sakaguchi-started-playing-ffxiv/

Also, he and Yoshi-P are doing a joint broadcast together at TGS this weekend!

---

man, i need to at least finish the CP farm for at least one class in FFXI eventually, but my reluctance to do groups kind of kills my attempts lol

i'm just not social enough of a gamer to really do anything substantial in 11. most i ever did was attempt some whming to help someone else unlock the ark angel trusts

---

So I am done until next expansion, at the earliest, for doing any more NieR raids. I got my last coin I'll need for the gear upgrades to i530 on some alt jobs. My main thing now is to finish the Resistance relics, and hopefully get my remaining gwibers over the next month or so (despite my wonky-af work hours).

Do you like playing the game to have fun? Try out the blue mage to pass the time! :D Did you do any cool side stories like Hildebrand quests? How about collecting cards or trying our eureka (idk how long you have been playing, but eureka is popping off lately)

Buddy, I have done these things, though on BLU I still need to beat Stage 31. If I have the time after relics are done, I may slip into Pyros to work on the remaining eight or nine weapons on that step, but I am in no hurry since I loathe and despise Eureka in general.

So apparently Hironobu Sakaguchi might design a glamour set or something for XIV which would be awesome

That would be awesome. Too bad all 14 of my glamour plates are already in use (and still not enough)!

So I've seen the possible leak of abilities. Lv84 for Bard is nice, though we could totally have used it by 50. 90 might be good? We'll see.

---

Ooh I'll have to see these leaked abilities.

Also I've been playing FF7R. I really hope XIV gets a Li'l Stamp minion. D:

Sadly no Drg listed. Still no buffs for spending time tanking the floor, I guess? =p

Please look forward to Yoshi's Stamp of approval.

So the Media Tour embargo lifts on Wednesday, so we should find out a lot more about the combat changes this week. And, we're only 39 days from Endwalker early access!
