Final Fantasy XIV

The primals and beastmen section on the character page is getting mighty huge. Methinks we need to break them apart into their own sections, such as Primals getting their spot, then hostile/general beastmen, then the friendly beastmen.

or maybe by expansion

ARR primals/beastmen in one, expansions in another

I'm not so sure since the expansions don't always have the same amount of primals and beastmen.

maybe, but we dont want to spread them too thin either

most of the bloat is coming from the primal folders themselves, so putting them in their own page will be pretty temporary i think, until they'd get split into two pages themselves

Might just need a primals 1 and primals 2 page, then a beastmen page, nip the problem in the bud. I'd say probably cut it from ARR Primals for 1 and then HW onward for 2, since the original primals can have some pretty bulky descriptions.

The worst offenders are the spoiler bosses though like Bahamut, Alexander, SB's final boss, and the 4.3 trial, because they have a lot of story relevance to them.

Full patch notes are now out.

Apparently something on Blue Mage that wasn't mentioned is you can earn and spend something called "Whalaqee totems" that teach you spells. Presumably it'll be where spells that don't fit on ARR mobs are learned from like Mighty Guard and White Wind.

Also, the new SB meta-mount is revealed, it's the nine-tailed fox that's from the Foxy Lady World FATE. So tempting to start dog farming

Tamamo was revealed back when Blue Mage was announced, as I recall.

WHM got some ok buffs.

PRIMAL PONIES CAN FLY

FUCKING FINALLY

Merlwyb: I've been waiting multiple patches to have a chance to speak and I'm going to give the Empire a piece of my mind about their stealing land and territories from other people!

Varis: How are those Kobolds holding up?

God DAMN.

Everything Varis said was "The Reason You Suck" Speech with a dash of No, You. But once he started going full on Large Ham, I could sense that he's desperate enough to believe the cause of the Ascians to the bitter end. Also, all scions are in magic comas now, exception being Krile cause she's basically rotting in Eureka and is needed for the next one coming.

The only way to be safe from The Voice™ is clearly to become/be a Lalafell.

Or a busty Highlander. *clenches fist*

You know, i'm getting the sense from his big speech that Varis has gone mad from the revelation. Off course having a granddad like Solus wouldn't help. It's still interesting to note, that even in the middle of his ALL RACES AS ONE speech, he still talks about opposing the Ascians.

It's kinda like Mateus in Dissidia talking about being free from the gods, only so that he can be the absolute ruler instead.

First dip into the new 24 man, 1 wipe on first boss, 2 on the second, had to leave on the third to go to work

I appreciate how the three I did feel, it makes a lot more sense than the other two raids to me, I don't like the shield mechanics on the second boss though, it wants you block "instantly" when the spellcast finishes, but with the server ticks being how they are, "Instantly" still results in getting hit 75% of the time.

Gonna drag my gaming partner and do the story tonight after work.

I have a theory about the whole coma thing. If you notice, it's hit literally everyone who fought against the Warriors of Darkness. Who wasn't there? Krile and Lyse. If Papalymo wasn't already dead I'm sure he would be equally unaffected.

Combined with the imagery the Garleans have invoked in the past a MASTER Race to counter the Ascians by doing everything the Ascians wants is both in character and completely off the rocker. I expect should he die Varis will think he'll be free of the Ascians in the afterlife and then they'll reveal they own him in the afterlife too.

i can't even say gor sure if he's actually tryng to subvert them because he actually shows he would find being a Unwitting Pawn of Ascians easier to accept than having to carry the legacy of one.

@Nara

From what I learned, the shield goes away if you do ANYTHING, so you gotta stay still and face the boss. Speaking of the raid. The ending. I almost was in tears of joy. Ramza and Delita finally make up and you get to see Ramza's party before they depart, including the two female knights.

I love how Varis is surprised Solus did that succession civil war on purpose while Solus is like "Come on, man. You know what I'm about."

Varis going Large Ham makes him look creepy and not for the right reasons; when he smiles or makes his mouth go wide, his cheeks look puffy.

x2 Solus even thanks him for being sick enough to clone his own family for science, letting him have a body whenever he needs one.

Now assuming that Shadowbringers will incorporate time travel, does any remember right before Varis goes on his rant, we can see black butterflies near the flickering light? Either that's a sign Varis got body jacked or it's a sign of the timeline changing. Butterflies do represent change after all and could go either way.

I thought it was a low poly bat

I really loved this pic showing Ramza's party. It has those two female knights I recognized right away. To the right I THINK I can see Rafa and the other sibling?
