I know someone who's Oceania region playing on NA Data Center because of how congested it is on Tonberry (unofficial English-speaking server on Japan DC). Aside from the few hiccups on ping, he's more or less learned his own special timing on AOEs and attacks so it's pretty doable especially if you're coming from the UK!

Neo-noir cyberpunk, with a dash of government dictatorship and rebellious uprisings!

A DnD/Goblin Slayer fantasy RP! Goblin Slayer did a pretty good, loose rendition on how the setup works. Less on stats, but more on player choices. Each choice you make could be your last...

I don't know why someone thought it was appropriate to provoke me into an argument this morning. This Monday morning. Now I'm coming into work all riled up and anxious and I hate it.

Also I was so angry I left my phone behind at home because I needed to disconnect that badly from this person still begging me to continue the conversation so it could feed into the argument even further.

iirc you learn skills and then you decide which skills to take with you into battle, so BLU was very much a moveset sort of Job in FF11. So it's not entirely undoable in FFXIV, I just sort of expected them to follow the SMN path; job quests have you learning moves from mobs, and then you keep those skills in your repertoire for use. 

Also, FF11 BLU was very Thavnarian themed!

BLU being DPS didn't bother me. BLU being basically "Diadem: The Job" was what really ruined it for me. 

Note: It's far easier to implement DPS classes because the tank jobs we have right now are still imbalanced, and let's not talk about how it's going to take quite a few reworks on making new healer jobs feel "different" but still "the same"... it's not that i don't like tanks or healers but I understand that it's just sooooo so so much easier to balance a DPS job than those other roles...

I think they're doing this deliberately by veiling it as an "intentional" decision; it's anything but. I highly suspect they're releasing it this coming patch 4.5 to test out how well it would perform. Honestly, I don't have high hopes for it. BLU is dead on arrival to me. I don't think I would even consider leveling it.

I'm going to be the odd one out and say, visual/aesthetics-wise, I hate the artifact armour. It looks too foppish for me. Give me back FF11 BLU.

I mean, most of the lore is already there to be begin with. we could learn more about the sub-races of what's already here. apart from miquo'te, hyurs and au'ra, can anyone tell me any major lore points involving say, lala, roe or elezen sub races? I personally can't and lore for them is scant at best because of it?? a lot of the lore out there is player made, not from squeenix mouth. so idk why more sub-races is a good idea when we don't even have stuff on the ones we do have. and if we have, then where I must consume!

I'm all for more sub-races, but I feel we need to expand on what we already have first? that's just me tho. XD


I feel like thereโ€™s a bit more in the lore book but like... again itโ€™s locked behind a $30 purchase so itโ€™s not like itโ€™s readily accessible...

Iโ€™m sure thereโ€™s more information regarding the sub races but itโ€™s not by much of a large margin. Then again itโ€™s not important (to SE) bc itโ€™s not seen as dev work being allotted towards actual game content so I highly doubt we would get more in a reasonable amount of time... maybe one day Koji Fox would pen down more details for us!

, the artwork in your gallery. The WOL; the au'ra with the blue hair ferociously shipped with the WOD. Are you the artist? Are you Moestral?



You got me there! /shock/

ffxiv 5.0 is a fucking dream come true that fucking trailer was hype as fuck i cant believe it ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Your mood is my mood right now. I was like a little boy on Christmas day.

Except for one thing.

Enough hints, Yoshi-P! We all know what it is so show us already! Please! I need to see!
I just want the goddamn trailer music by itself. That sweet, sweet, guitar riff is making me have the trailer on loop.
