Started this game years ago. Picked it back up again in July following a miserable breakup. Found a great community and took myself off the copium that World of Warcraft has become. Now we venture forth, into the unknown... a fate beyond the horizon that cannot be divined.

...

LET'S FUCKING GO.

Mark your spoilers, and make sure it is clear where you are at in MSQ once EW pops!

My Hien takes will rest for now but they will only return more powerful than before when Endwalker forces me to stop doing MSQ to pretend to be his friend.

Wait really? I must have missed that. The patch notes say they're needed to dye artifact gear and I just assumed to get it as well like in 5.0.

I mean I'll still do them all eventually for the lore but if I can leave them on read for a bit that's great.

In a bit of underrated news from the patch notes, FF14 is joining the extremely short list of PC games that currently offer full native support for the unique features of the DualSense, including haptics and adaptive triggers.

okay, i got curious so i watched some cutscenes on youtube

yeah, okay, i was wrong, fandaniel is NOT just a generic evil villain whose motive is to destroy the world because he's crazy.

he's clearly acting. it's too over-the-top. there's gotta be something else going on!

I'm down to 10 items in my current inventory and it feels great. Armory chest slimmed down to just immediate use equips. Retainers are loaded with crap, but oh well.

Goodbye 110k HP, I will miss you.

Got to the end of 5.0 tonight. I wasn't connecting too much with the earlier expansions, but Shadowbringers completely blew me away. Fantastic setting and features possibly my favorite FF villain.

This is pretty much exactly how I left myself.

Did the great belt purge, stored a whole bunch of gear in the dresser, and then dumped all my loose mats on my retainers.

I hate how the stat squish potency changes means every single damage ability is listed as updated. Only list updated if it's ACTUALLY changing dammit.

How.

HOW.

HOW IS IT STILL GLARE III AND HOLY III.

There's other examples in the series of spells going straight from the first stage naming convention to the third stage (Haste > Hastega, Slow > Slowga) so it's not that much of a stretch. As far as I'm aware, Glare is an original creation as a playable spell, so they can do what they like with it. Skipping Holyra when it already exists is more of a question, I suppose. Maybe it's just so WHM doesn't feel like it's as behind compared to SCH and AST (who are getting Broil IV and Fall Malefic) in some kind of Xbox 360 style slant? I don't know. Maybe they just think Glare III and Holy III fit the spells themselves better than II would.

On an unrelated note, I wonder what kind of viewing figures Endwalker will be getting on Twitch and Youtube tomorrow? A lot of the recent surge of interest comes from existing players watching streamers pick up the game, and I can't imagine they'd rather watch tomorrow than play themselves. I guess concurrent Steam numbers will probably be the best indication we'll get of that if viewing figures fall short of equivalent big releases.

I think its far more egregious that going straight to -GA since it's just a raw number.

Live stream numbers will tank for sure, can't imagine anyone who play will be watching Endwalker streams.

The ARCHIVE views of streams are going to be crazy high, though.

I can legitimately imagine a scenario where sodapoppin is one of, if not the top streamer tomorrow, simply because him and his community are in their own little bubble compared to the cross-pollination of all the veteran XIV streamers, other big MMO streamers and big variety streamers. He's only playing it right now to bandwagon on the launch excitement, so it'd be a little sad to that effect.

Oooof apparently on the Patch Notes Reading stream they said the preload will go up in the afternoon JST. That's around 10PM EDT, aka approximately 6 hours before the servers go up.

That's a bit annoying for people planning to play immediately like me, gonna have to wake myself up to start the patch and then go back to sleep to get enough sleep tonight.

Also RIP anyone living in Australia or just has bad internet in general

Lucky for me that's shortly before I go to bed, so I can make sure my PS4 and PS5 are getting the update before I sleep and be good to get my initial login going before work.

Hmm...Bard got a lot of changes from the media tour which is a bit unnerving because the media tour build looked basically perfect to me. MB got nerfed in exchange for a third bloodletter stack (really don't understand the logic to this) and the tooltip for procs is extremely vague. The internet is doomsaying and interpreting this to mean procs are no longer based on dots which would be TERRIBLE but...I'll believe that when I see it.



WHEN do I get the 80% chance, yoshi-p??? what does this MEAN???
