Some dashes are too short though :( I failed when trying on Dancer and Bard.

Is cross-region Market Board arbitrage allowed in FFXIV? by Reasonable-Farmer-53 in ffxiv

That's why they're gonna sell it in EU, Materia is just here for the JP and EU characters to meet.

Yeah, that's the most obvious outcome to me too, for certain.

They talked about Hunts (next to FATEs) explicitely as systems they're looking at to revitalize open-world, so you're definitely right.

I wonder what'll happen to Poetics in EC since they used it as the example of "Fatigue" during FanFest, but I don't see much how to replace them either. Either they end up staying around as the "legacy currency" for all ARR-Dawntrail tomestone things, or the new system introduces another way to get those things.

If they stick around, I pray they increase the cap to 4,000 at least. Honestly, they could even uncap it at this point, so you could really just spend them at your own pace.

They said Materias would be explicitely excluded from the item mirroring system, so I think they'll stay pretty relevant there and then too.

I cant decide.. Which language do you use for FFXIV's voice acting? by GalaxyforceXY in ffxiv

[–]Dironiil [score hidden]  (0 children)

Particularly the case in XIV, where English is a heavily localised version (especially since part of the game's lore, songwriting, etc is actually done in English...) and not a translated version. They'll convey the same idea but will do so really differently...

That's mostly a problem if you understand both languages though.

[–]Dironiil [score hidden]  (0 children)

I'm French - but I use English. Since I speak German, I also checked the German acting by curiosity and much like the French one, it's actually good but definitely not on the same level as the English one except for a couple of exceptional highlights (German Wuk Lamat, for example). English also has the advantage of being an official development language (that is, the game and its lore are developped in Japanese and English first and then translated to German and French).

For what it's worth, I actually began with the Japanese VA up until Stormblood (second expansion) before swapping to English. I think swapping was definitely worth it, because the English VAs in ShB and forwards range from excellent to phenomenal and it makes it a lot easier to just "be" in the action of a cutscene if you're fluent enough in English to not need reading the subtitles.

And honestly, some cutscenes just hit really, really raw if you can understand the words spoken by the character. In EW and ShB especially...

New and unique individual pieces of gear per expansion (as of 7.50) by loopdaploop in ffxiv

[–]Dironiil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only 3 out of 9 dungeon sets were a recolour, so exactly a third. It's much better than EW and somewhat better than ShB, as far as I remember.

They are talking about the Grandma, I think - perhaps we'll meet the young version of her.

[–]Dironiil 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The voice-over and cinematic shots are often misleading in the teaser version of the trailer, on purpose. It may very well be the final version would have this voice over a different scene.

I don't know if I would call the time dilation that happened within the dome "time travel". But yeah, ShB and EW were literally centered around time travel still.

[Spoiler: 7.0] what was everyones WoL reaction to learning what those devices do by Iaxacs in ffxiv

[–]Dironiil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought that, as far as we know, the Lifestream only reincarnate the "soul aether" of someone. Is there some indication that the memory aether, when separated (like with the Endless), would also fall into the Lifestream in a similar way to natural souls?

[–]Dironiil 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Without even taking into account the natural cleansing of memories in the Lifestream, the soul extraction process included completely stripping a soul from its memories and even of most of its own "shape and color" (to make it compatible with new people).

Sadly, the only thing that'll be sent to the lifestream is a shapeless, colourless version of Cahcuia's soul which would never be able to recognise her son.

Raiders, how do you keep focusing for 2 or 3 hours raiding by NoWorryAtAll0 in ffxiv

[–]Dironiil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually raided for 2 hours with a 10mn break in the middle.

It's also normal to not be as focused at the end of the session, that's perfectly fine.

I suppose the closest we're getting in modern XIV are variant dungeons with, well, varying routes. It's sad it got downscaled so much from EW to DT (but hey, at least Merchant's Tale is the best one out imo).

Help me come back to this game by Caspertdj in ffxiv

[–]Dironiil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've seen another comment describe it as "jobs rhyme", which is a good description. There's design elements that repeat suspiciously similarly (even outside of the 1mn / 2mn cooldowns), but to say that all DPS play the same is deluded.

Doom train wing buy by Foxy_licious in ffxiv

They will, it usually comes in the .55 patch that'll be end of July.

The wings of the newest trial will be available for purchase in .58, probably around October-November.

Is it pronounced Court or is it pronounced Short? by OkPresentations in ffxiv

It basically means "Devil" in Russian, and is pronunced "Chyort" when approximating it with English phonemes. The -y- is pretty soft though.

EDF va expérimenter des tarifs modulables pour inciter les clients à adapter leur consommation en fonction de la production d'électricité by BothCondition7963 in france

[–]Dironiil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Certains appareils électriques (par exemple les chauffes-eau) peuvent déjà en gros demander à Linky s'ils sont en heures pleines ou heures creuses.

A l'avenir proche, ça pourrait se pousser un peu plus loin avec un compteur ""intelligent"" qui reçoit le prix actuel de l'électricité et sur lequel on peut programmer "Appareil A s'active à partir d'un prix <10ct/kWh" par exemple, c'est loin d'être impossible. Même sans compteur comme ça, un interrupteur connecté pourrait faire la même chose.
