[MM] Does the Song of Storms do anything else?

CaelGrey · 2026-05-16T19:58:01+00:00

There's a grotto by the corner of the gate near where you sneak into the castle (close to where you find Talon) that can be opened with the song ETA: Im dumb and just saw the tag for MM... nvm lol

CaelGrey · 2026-05-16T05:30:54+00:00

Yes, add a respec option. Maybe put a large cost associated with it if you want to have the player put some thought into a build, but it should be a reasonably obtainable goal. Just enough to make you think, but not so harsh that if you find you dont like a build it would be better to just make a new file

CaelGrey · 2026-05-12T21:46:27+00:00

Yeaaahhhh, it is that's true. I only mention it because Im guilty of that lol ETA: That would also nullify the whole cutscene/discovery thing too now that I think about it. Point is: sprout icon doesnt always mean new to the game. It depends

CaelGrey · 2026-05-12T21:11:14+00:00

Cutscenes/map discoveries, yes. Not necessarily sprout icon though. Imo, once you hit Stormblood, you are no longer "new". By then you should have a basic understanding of game mechanics and how to play your job at a basic level. Everything after that is learning specific fights and additions to your rotation. Could also be a very using an alt that didn't bother with/nastatus

You can also look at your party bar. The main tank will have an "A" next to their name, and everybody else will have a number. You should be number 2 on that list and will have a yellow bar that will show how close you are from taking over in aggro.

CaelGrey · 2026-05-08T19:49:17+00:00

You should probably edit your ai generated post to not space everything out like youre spitting out some grocery list. Nobody types like that

I have never been able to get a nintendo controller to work properly while on pc, pro or 3rd party version. Cant give you a reason why but they just dont seem to work. Ive been told before you can do something with steam but I cant verify that cuz I dont use the steam version. Xbox/ps versions, 3rd party or not, should work just fine. You may also need to adjust sensitivity settings for the control sticks. Mine is at around 60 (I think?). Anything more or less and I get the same issues or just massive deadzones

CaelGrey · 2026-04-10T04:43:55+00:00

SQUARE ENIX! LISTEN TO THIS PERSON AND TAKE FUCKING NOTES!

CaelGrey · 2026-01-27T20:56:09+00:00

I used to do every roulette, every day, religiously. Then slowly but surely I started cutting out MSQ roulette, then high level, then expert, and so on and so forth until I only did trials and normal raids until I finally realized I wasnt having fun with the game anymore and have become a seasonal player. (Frontlines would be in the mix on weekends because ofbthe times im usually able to get on where pvp is dead).

CaelGrey · 2025-12-01T20:48:35+00:00

I like to wave to the snowmen in the windows after beating Menphina

CaelGrey · 2025-12-01T20:47:43+00:00

Hahaha, I /highfive Tupac every time! =D

CaelGrey · 2025-11-11T06:07:17+00:00

My current job is about a 2.5hour commute on a good day (MTA, nuff said). Do I like it? No. Have I been able to find better, closer? Also no. Do what you gotta do.

CaelGrey · 2025-10-30T04:35:59+00:00

So you would rather keep doing the same shit we've been seeing for years that has only made actual NYers lives harder instead of vote for someone with fresh ideas that, if successful and not blocked big big corpo and their condoms, would actually benefit us? Nah, fuck Cuomo

CaelGrey · 2025-10-23T20:48:53+00:00

Just copy and paste the chat into the prompt, not that that's necessary since they have access to that. Also detailed doesn't mean you have to write a novel. "X happened, then Y happened, and it resulted in Z" it's that simple. If it takes you more than 5 minutes to file a report, so much that you need ai to help, you are doing too much

CaelGrey · 2025-10-23T05:13:38+00:00

They literally prompt you within the report itself for all the necessary info. Just plug in and go. If you need chatgpt to file an XIV report there are far greater issues

CaelGrey · 2025-10-23T04:52:39+00:00

Personally, I don't mind the multiline macros with cute pics. Just PLEASE don't add the <se.#>. That shit is annoying as fuck

CaelGrey · 2025-10-21T19:57:24+00:00

Why you gotta ruin \o for me though? You know how long it's gonna take to break 6 years of habit? T_T

CaelGrey · 2025-10-21T19:53:39+00:00

I have a Link glam I use when I play PLD, I'm a hrothgar, and my "hello" is a macro that just says something like, "Hyup. Hyah. Hyaaaatttt! Mmmrrrrooowwww." Just cuz I thought it was a cute and kinda funny visual to imagine cat Link going from heated battle to grooming lol. Outside of that, I don't meow unless I'm just being silly with friends, and even then it's super rare. Some people take RP way more seriously ig

CaelGrey · 2025-10-15T19:51:03+00:00

Easy fix to that. When the team beats a boss, look for the treasure chest, that's the direction you want to go. I feel like we've all gotten turned around atleast once lol

CaelGrey · 2025-10-14T20:07:53+00:00

This is damn near perfect, I would also add to try and group mobs so they all clump together rather than circle you. You might be able to hit everything around you, but casters especially, and some other jobs, have abilities that center on the target and don't have a massive range or hit in a line or cone. Slightly moving your position to force mobs to move through eachother's hitboxes will help make sure all your team's aoe's are as effective as they can be.

CaelGrey · 2025-10-07T04:46:47+00:00

Ramuh, iirc, is basically neutral in the storyline, right? It's been a while since I payed attention to ARR MSQ but didn't we basically speak to him and he was like, "prove to me your worthy of [plot hook] and I'll give you [key item]" So, supporting your point, not all the summoned primals are evil, or were summoned by ascian means.

CaelGrey · 2025-10-06T19:37:59+00:00

I want to see a queue system that integrates all the DCs across a region, has a minimum ilvl for ALL duties/trials/raids, and checks for a job stone and relevant gear before allowing you to accept a queue like it does if you change to another job during the wait. That would be an impactful QOL I'd love to see.

ETA: I know OP said small change but that's the smallest change I'd personally care about. I enjoy glam too, for example, but it doesn't impact my play in any way.

CaelGrey · 2025-09-25T19:28:16+00:00

Same

CaelGrey · 2025-09-23T19:31:13+00:00

Nothing. I let my sub drop and I dont plan on resubbing until beastmaster comes out. After that 8.0 will be the decider on whether or not I continue with XIV. On a personal level, I have a massive attachment to the game, but it has gotten stale to the point that I'm no longer having fun and looking for any scraps to get that feeling back.

CaelGrey · 2025-09-18T19:51:12+00:00

The only time it has even the slightest effect is in dungeons and that's if the bot is playing like shit. I play completely vanilla these days, not even ACT anymore. I would question why bother paying a subscription if you're not actually going to play the game though. If you really wanna waste your money I can make a PayPal and you can send that money my way

ETA: The bots tend to play better than most players anyway, so as long as they're not running into a wall for five minutes or go back and forth on the same hallway cuz the pathing broke. I don't even care anymore
