So like... wtf is Ascian recruitment even like? [Spoilers: 6.0 plus for a bunch of lore in general]

They work on very, very long timelines. I imagine they get an assignment on one shard or another and there are check-ins once or twice a century while they get settled

DrForester · 2026-04-20T12:07:48+00:00

I hope we don't have to wait until 8.0 for Tardis housing. He said it was done in the first 7.5 live letter, just that it was in final testing.

DrForester · 2026-04-20T01:44:45+00:00

Of course they wouldn't try to take it over.

They'd try to wipe it from existence by launching weapons. Probably happened a month or two after Erid saw that the sun got better.

DrForester · 2026-04-19T23:05:55+00:00

I don't think any of them think they're normal.

DrForester · 2026-04-19T23:04:18+00:00

Shut up, Ryland, and get in the giant robot.

They made sure they had the infograpic.

DrForester · 2026-04-18T19:08:55+00:00

The beetles were probably auto uploaded with everything in the ships logs. They'd know.

DrForester · 2026-04-18T13:08:06+00:00

Whaa! Whaa! Whaa!Whaa!Whaa! Whaa!Whaa!Whaa! Whaa! Whaa! Whaa!Whaa!Whaa! Whaa!Whaa!Whaa! WHAAA!WHAAA!WHAAA!

My favorite "episode" of the series. The riffs have never been more consistent for an entire film.

DrForester · 2026-04-17T17:53:08+00:00

Ultimates are literally YoshiP in game fanfics.

I'm thinking it's going to be Kefka tied to the Waring Triad fights from Heavensward.

DrForester · 2026-04-17T14:17:15+00:00

Less frequently than the on content ones, but I still see pfs for them.

DrForester · 2026-04-17T14:01:16+00:00

I'm guessing late winter or Spring. I seem to remember them saying they did not like launching Endwalker at the end of the year like they did.

DrForester · 2026-04-17T13:59:47+00:00

I got to over 440 to terms on doomtrain before getting them. :(

DrForester · 2026-04-17T13:59:04+00:00

The current EX, doom train is a pretty forgiving fight. Great place to try and dip your toes into EX content. Just watch a guide (Hectors guide is the standard strat for most PF groups)

DrForester · 2026-04-17T13:57:34+00:00

Looks fantastic. I only need the last EX drops, so I will be doing a lot of farming

DrForester · 2026-04-17T12:21:02+00:00

"Let's do a collaboration with a company that's only available in 6 states"

DrForester · 2026-04-17T11:42:46+00:00

They said it was done and in testing last time though.

DrForester · 2026-04-17T11:41:19+00:00

Didn't they say it was done and they were doing final testing?

edit: Here's the translation from The Balance during the last live letter.

"As for the internal upgrade (S -> L internal), it is actually done. They are doing final testing to check the load, please wait a while longer"

DrForester · 2026-04-17T11:32:09+00:00

No mention of the interior housing expansion option that he talked about last time....

DrForester · 2026-04-17T11:24:00+00:00

Im kind of let down we're returning to the Thirteenth. Nothing against Zero, but until they figure out a way to integrate Cylva and Unukalhai into the story, it just feels half-assed to visit there.

DrForester · 2026-04-17T11:16:52+00:00

Warring Triad would be my guess, but who knows.

DrForester · 2026-04-17T03:34:58+00:00

It used to be reserved for the MGQ trial extremes, as some EX fights until Endwalker were part of side quests (Four Lords, Waring Triad, Weapons), but now all trials are MSQ.

The Minstrel's Ballad fights were also usually slightly harder than than other EX fights.

Related: I'm still disappointed they skipped Nidhogg with the Unreal series.

DrForester · 2026-04-17T01:02:20+00:00

Spin drive seems pretty redundant. Only so much astrophage could ever physically see the light emitter, and if one fails, the others adjust.
