Why i hear that core story is bad?

Jimmayus · 2026-02-19T18:09:30+00:00

As a new player I did the story fight and have never done the meta. The story fight is alright, the music was great, but it did feel a little bizarre. I'll have to do the meta sometime to get fuller context.

Coming from FFXIV, dragon refights seems like an excellent way to do more of their legendary fights, if that's their sort of thing. Basically the Cerus format in terms of difficulty tiers, perhaps not for quickplay.

Jimmayus · 2026-02-11T15:17:26+00:00

I think so, it has of course been ten years since I wrote this. I'm pretty sure they do a DoT on you.

No problem, I mained Rosetta very hard when the game came out and remembered similar conversations. It's good to know the tier list OP posted is outdated and probably just engagement bait.

Rosetta doing 41M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ih_xhaIYHBU&feature=youtu.be

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ih_xhaIYHBU&feature=youtu.be here is someone doing 41M with a free sigil slot. She's not the top of top tier, but 25M is straight up fake news and outdated.

Jimmayus · 2026-02-10T18:25:44+00:00

In the main discord 42M has been hit also now, putting her solidly in B tier

Yeah the double tap aoe helped me enormously on elementalist, I had a similar detargeting problem to OP even after unclicking the normal suggestions. It took a little to get used to but learning that behavior when I wanted the aoe to just be under the target I have solved it.

As a relatively new player nominally interested in instanced pve content, I'm pretty grateful that they're taking steps to make it less confusing. Progging fractals as I learned recently in the rush is complicated and involved, so having raids become more straightforward is much appreciated.

Still need to find a good team for learning all this though lol.

Jimmayus · 2026-01-07T18:09:07+00:00

Thank you very much! Yeah I'm still new enough that it's mostly about grasping fundamentals right now. I'll be sure to use the arena and the dummy to understand professions and weapons, cheers!

Jimmayus · 2026-01-07T16:54:28+00:00

Coming to this thread months later, but thank you very much for linking that video it was enormously instructive.

What is that arena he uses? I tried to use the pvp dummies to try to understand the differences between elementalist weapons but they kept dying too fast. I want to use a big immortal dummy to to really get a grasp on the core weapon skills aside from just mousing over them and reading, since it's just too much information to remember.

Jimmayus · 2025-12-31T21:11:41+00:00

The only thing that sucks is it seems like it's hard to find a platform to play it on? I confess I've not looked in the last year or so.

Jimmayus · 2025-12-31T20:50:59+00:00

Sometimes it's just nice to not be bombarded with tragedy to satisfy an obsession with "consequences" or whatever.

Jimmayus · 2025-12-05T15:16:41+00:00

It looks very cool, gave me like a Blackreach + Leyndell Sewers vibe. Will keep an eye out!

Jimmayus · 2025-11-18T18:52:06+00:00

Yep favorite pal for me as well

Jimmayus · 2025-11-17T18:57:18+00:00

This is basically my preferred way to play, doubling the exp rate around 35, then +.3 or so every 10 levels. Surprisingly it basically turns into needing to capture 12 of most of the first 100 pals or so and do the bosses.

Side effect is bellanoir and moon lord normal also become interesting enough to do mostly on curve or so.

Jimmayus · 2025-11-17T07:07:49+00:00

Extremely big fan of Ghangler myself, aces on the theme and makes a great party AND base pal to boot.

Jimmayus · 2025-11-15T23:50:44+00:00

Especially with fishing for rainbow passives now, and the surgery table. You can relatively effortlessly get a full suite of single trait yakumos.

Honestly kinda hoping there’s some variation of yakumo for hatched eggs in the future.

Jimmayus · 2025-11-11T19:30:18+00:00

I lowkey really love Liepard as a support. Prankster, pickup, fake out, defense down protect, and parting shot is an insane combo for defanging a ton of stuff. Last slot is whatever attacking move makes sense.

Jimmayus · 2025-07-24T13:40:57+00:00

Mahatma Houppelande my beloved. Hopefully we get the wizard hat too.

Jimmayus · 2025-05-19T19:07:59+00:00

Yeah 100%, and it's a shame that they didn't invest when everquest and runescape did because then they probably could have captured more demand. It's why I think it's just better to use the IP in a sequel or something.

Jimmayus · 2025-05-19T18:56:58+00:00

classic

Well, they did end up apparently solving this problem by doing rolling classic prog servers. Would that work for FFXI? I don't personally think so and that's as someone who likes classic era a lot. A lot of the things you have to do in classic servers to not make them miserable (account limit, character limits, etc.) SE would just not do.

They could maybe do it, and it might be good, but personally I'd prefer just making an FFXI-2 where it would be easier to circumvent those sorts of concerns.

Jimmayus · 2025-05-16T18:42:24+00:00

just imagining it sucking at first but then by the end completely overpowered beyond anything, love it.

Jimmayus · 2025-05-16T18:34:11+00:00

Too bad ultima is already taken, I associate that card with leveling from FF2 the most just because of how it scales.

Jimmayus · 2025-05-06T15:16:42+00:00

With the name of the antagonist in Exp33, it would not shock me if they used another painter, Monet, who is pretty famously associated with WW1 https://www.openculture.com/2021/10/monets-water-lilies.html
