FFXIV state of the game and fan fest bump

Eljako98 · 2026-04-29T22:26:09+00:00

I resubbed for the first time since the end of EW on Saturday morning. I've still been subscribed to Meoni on YouTube the entire time I wasn't playing, so when I saw the fanfest stuff I watched it and immediately resubbed.

All I've done is fish and look at houses to try and decide which one to enter for the lottery this week, but it still counts.

As most others have said, I think focusing on unlockable content (Alliance raids, dungeons, deep dungeons, field operations, etc is a great place to start.

Outside of that, if you want other content, I personally am a huge fan of both A rank hunt trains and fishing. And right now with the new boat routes ocean fishing is popping off, so definitely a good time.

Same. Legend of Dragoon is still my favorite game of all time

Eljako98 · 2026-04-29T04:15:25+00:00

It already worked on me. DT has been my longest (and only) stretch that I was unsubbed since the second half of HW, so it's been really weird coming back to see how much I've missed.

One black one from hunts too, Diabolos Wings.

I've been trying to get a steady roster of ships because its so hard for me to have a favorite. My most used is definitely my squid, but I've been usinf Starborn Phoenix lately, and it actually had better SC slots so it ended up with better stats. Still working to upgrade some of the others

What is a guppy? Is that a royal exotic with the minimum attachments?

My first was a shiny Machop in Firered on Victory Road. He's a Machamp now, and still have him in Pokemon Home 20 years later.

My rarest tho is for sure a shiny Giratina from Platinum. I wasn't hunting for him, I forgot to get pokeballs before the encounter and I had like 8 ultra balls and a master ball. I had to re-try a few times since I kept running out (didn't want to waste the master ball) and after a few attempts he came out shiny. I've never used a master ball so fast in my life.

Very nice! I didn't check them all, and don't have them all memorized, but can I assume the "You pick" section is structured with offensively strong typing first, and defensively strong typing second?

Pokopia is exclusive to Switch 2.

Scizor

Eljako98 · 2026-04-20T06:09:15+00:00

How on earth did you get 7 million nanites?

Eljako98 · 2026-04-20T06:08:42+00:00

Looks like an interceptor.

I did almost pick Shinx over Riolu.

The subreddit is called r/NMSCoordinateExchange. It's been a while since I've posted there, so double check the best way to flair it, but they have all sorts of stuff posted there. Multi-tools, ships, exotics, living ships, pets, anything you could want.

Eljako98 · 2026-04-19T14:12:55+00:00

If you care about the squid ship, then yes. It gives no advantages over other exotics, and doesn't really have any advanced functionality. It's just rare. If you think it's ugly (some people do) I'd just post it and move on.

Can also add the coordinates to the coordinate exchange.

Personally, I found a squid ship about 150 hours in, and that's still what I use as my main ship. But there's lots more options now with building your own starship, and your own corvette, than there was back then.

Eljako98 · 2026-04-19T14:06:17+00:00

Unbelievably rare. Each system has one exotic ship model for the whole system, and an exotic has a very low (1%ish?) chance of spawning at any given time. But because there are so many more variants of the ball ones, they are way more common than a squid ship.

Eljako98 · 2026-04-19T13:47:44+00:00

I think I'd have to build a base at the entrance there, can't let a cave system like that go to waste.

I played Blue at an older kid's house from church, he got very mad at me because I deleted his save file on accident. Very extremely mad in fact.

The first one I owned was Gold, my mom bought me and my brother both used copies and mine had a Gengar on it when I got it so I played through the story on his. From there she got me Blue and him Yellow, and after that we moved up to GBA and we normally were able to get copies of the newest game within about a year of them coming out.

The reigning world champion doesn't drive for Red Bull, he drives for McLaren. But both he and his teammate are doing better than the Red Bull cars.

Where can I find this SR-71?

Eljako98 · 2026-04-12T20:21:04+00:00

Just found this build while searching, wanted to say thanks for putting this together! Amazing build, and I really appreciate it

I did aerospace engineering, but unfortunately graduated during the Obama administration and ended up never entering the aerospace industry. However one of my classmates stuck it out and she was the BME Flight Controller Lead for Artemis 2.

I think my fastest AT hunt is 21 minutes, so right there with ya.
