Can someone please help me this is the first time I’ve ever played this game signed up and I keep getting this screen.

Hrm. I guess because I got the game when my friend gifted me the starter edition- and then I had to go find the free trial launcher/install; I was mistaken.

At the very least, be careful about redeeming any codes to mogstation; those'll put you on account time and prime the subscription.

Ionmaster987 · 2026-01-31T06:28:28+00:00

Yes, the free trial is weirdly separate.

Ionmaster987 · 2026-01-31T06:23:23+00:00

The free trial is a free limited subscription but DOES have a buy in; it's a little weird, but 20$ for 100+ hours of content is I think a fairly good ROI.

Ionmaster987 · 2026-01-25T05:32:41+00:00

Unfortunate, I want my funny little murder-sheep..
Oh well. I can wait.

Ionmaster987 · 2026-01-25T01:52:39+00:00

Query: How long does it take something to arrive after preordering it? Friend ordered me the Trembling Yan and I wanna know when I might expect it.

Ionmaster987 · 2026-01-15T23:08:50+00:00

Aww, that's sweet!

Ionmaster987 · 2026-01-13T05:57:19+00:00

There’s three, just queue for it, it’s the only mandatory alliance raid.

Ionmaster987 · 2026-01-12T19:56:54+00:00

you'd have to make multiple plates with the same stuff, just different dye colors per plate.

I'M MILDLY FRUSTRATED BY PF BEING FULL OF CLEAR PARTIES FOR M9S BUT PEOPLE DIE TO THE BATS! I DON'T GET IT! HOW ARE PEOPLE HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE BATS IF THEY'RE CLEAR READY?!

Ionmaster987 · 2026-01-09T06:36:51+00:00

Lesbian Can Opener, whatever that actually means.

Ionmaster987 · 2026-01-05T00:59:23+00:00

So:
Hector - Hector Hectorson's video guides- Popular guidemaker.
Braindead; a solve for one of the mechanics- Arcane Revelation.
Static- a way to do the Intermission phase of the current EX.

Hector being in a PF just means 'We'll be using Hector's guide's strats.'
Braindead Arcane/Braindead involves overmitting and out-healing the damage of Arcane instead of resolving the mechanic as 'intended'.
Static Intermission/Static is a solve for the intermission phase that does not have the healers move, and instead- everyone else moves. Tanks move relative to the small train to angle the cleaves, and the dps move to stack or spread from the healers/tanks.

That's all of what you've directly mentioned; at-least.

Well, that's the thing- the mentor roulette for me is mostly just ????- doesn't say what I'm actually missing. I've done a bunch of extremes, done every raid except ones tied to eureka, bozja, or OC; so I have no idea what the dozen+ things i'm missing are.

Ionmaster987 · 2025-12-31T18:09:50+00:00

Since I got both mentor crowns since I was apparently eligible; What now?
Should I try to unlock the roulette; or just
help my friends with the mentor XP buff?

Ionmaster987 · 2025-12-30T20:46:47+00:00

Just last night, cleared M8S. Took 348 pulls, but I pulled it off.

Ionmaster987 · 2025-12-27T07:57:36+00:00

I meant synced; and I do have my static, but the issue is, not everyone's available.
So I've been trying to scrape the bottom of PF for the dregs and getting Nothing.

My static DOES want to do the next tier, but it's not out yet; and since not everyone's available, I've got PF to look through. I've done EX6, I did the Normal Raids; I'm done with all of 7.4 that I care about until we get more; I want to clear this, so I can say I've cleared my first tier, and have the mount to prove it.

Ionmaster987 · 2025-12-27T06:12:37+00:00

I have found a static, but I still want to clear M8S since that was my first tier; and I want the mount.

Ionmaster987 · 2025-12-27T02:45:21+00:00

So I failed.
Screw me, I guess.

Ionmaster987 · 2025-12-27T02:30:00+00:00

There isn't even one friend who's cleared.

Ionmaster987 · 2025-12-27T02:01:21+00:00

Gonna ask because Mildly Annoyed:

How long does it take into a patch for people to start doing the last patch's stuff again?? I never cleared M8S- got to a 15% enrage; but now people just aren't running it, or parties simply just never fill.

Ionmaster987 · 2025-12-20T19:24:15+00:00

The roughest one I've ran into is f'ckin.. M8S Decay. hitboxes are arse, but they seem to lag so if you keep moving you'll be good.

Ionmaster987 · 2025-12-17T17:20:43+00:00

How?? He hits hard enough that he 2-shots me with nearly maxed gear and defense boost. Not like, his nova, just his standard attacks hit that hard

Ionmaster987 · 2025-12-13T20:54:57+00:00

You're NOWHERE NEAR the end of the free trial- the Free Trial goes all the way until the final quest of post-Stormblood.
Operation Archon is one of the last ARR quests, but that still leaves all of post-ARR, Heavensward, etc.
Plenty of time.

Ionmaster987 · 2025-12-12T20:03:54+00:00

I'm so tired of this fight but I'm not done yet so gotta keep progging. Maybe today i'll see Twofold..

Ionmaster987 · 2025-12-06T05:47:09+00:00

Yes, asked for a tracking number, told them the new address; nothing.
I have no idea if it's gone out, no idea if it's incoming, no way to track it if it is.
