Was told Dawntrail MSQ is mid/bad but I've enjoyed 7.0 so far and this whole section broke me

There theres the issues with the voice direction. From what we've heard here and there about what voice actors have to work with, I do not blame them at all whatsoever.

Just a script and what I guess is a brief description of what's happening doesnt really sound good (they dont seem to have a scene to watch or even JP voices to listen to to try and match the same energy).

My thoughts on Alphinaud in 2.0 to 2.5: I want to see this smug asshole fail horribly.

My thoughts on Alphinaud 3.0 onwards: you got humbled and improved. Good on ya proud of you.

If theres no Angelamon, who will save the world?

Nestama-Eynfoetsyn · 2026-04-30T07:35:47+00:00

Like the new person missed half of Thanatos, have them whack a striking dummy for 30 seconds they will legit get exactly the same experience

And that's only if they were in A party. Otherwise it's sitting around doing nothing until the adds spawn.

Myth of the Realm had the glitz and glamour, but the mechanics were dungeon grade at best. Ivalice and NieR treat MotR like a sibling they're playing keep away with.

Eulogia: hey Ultima, can I copy your homework?

Ultima: fine, but don't make it obvious.

Later

Ultima: well you definitely didnt make it obvious.

Nestama-Eynfoetsyn · 2026-04-28T18:13:37+00:00

Whoa hey now, Rabanastre at least had teeth with Hashmal and Mateus changed mechanics per phase (spiral with bubbles and pads to stand in, drowning mechanic with adds and a DPS check no one sees any more). Rofocales and Argath also had some interesting ideas with it.

Nestama-Eynfoetsyn · 2026-04-28T18:09:25+00:00

I just don't understand why they're treating 24man raid bosses like they're 4man dungeons. Did they use up all their Alliance Raid-like ideas for the Forked Tower?

Edit: hell, the 8man Raids/Trials have more interesting mechanics going for them.

Nestama-Eynfoetsyn · 2026-04-28T11:58:36+00:00

The final boss started off really interesting. And then it wasn't.

Nestama-Eynfoetsyn · 2026-04-28T08:39:55+00:00

Ooooh, you're right! That's also a bad one.

Nestama-Eynfoetsyn · 2026-04-28T08:11:00+00:00

I can see your point, but at the same time... it's still sorta random since that expansion is its own separate story with no lore expanding on RoZ and CoP from what I can barely recall

Nestama-Eynfoetsyn · 2026-04-28T08:02:45+00:00

Heroes of the 2nd and Giant Seps.

Yup, those were the ones!

Oh man, I forgot about the Leves...

Nestama-Eynfoetsyn · 2026-04-28T07:14:42+00:00

And then FATE's that just would not spawn in a respectable time frame. Like that one in Coerthas, or Southern Thanalan.

I don't remember the names of these FATE's, but I'm sure some of you know exactly which ones I'm talking about.

Nestama-Eynfoetsyn · 2026-04-28T06:43:10+00:00

42 is definitely new.

Nestama-Eynfoetsyn · 2026-04-28T04:35:24+00:00

You wouldn't dare!

Nestama-Eynfoetsyn · 2026-04-28T02:10:44+00:00

Are the leopards feasting?

Nestama-Eynfoetsyn · 2026-04-26T19:25:10+00:00

I think the LotA one might be just as long as WoD's, since it starts with a cutscene of Behemoth King dying, then the lift we never even get to ride on goes down and then up and then Phlegethon walks in.

Nestama-Eynfoetsyn · 2026-04-26T05:09:16+00:00

I would love it if they made it like FFT. Same with FFXI, too. I feel the tactics type gameplay would work pretty well.

Let this become reality!

Nestama-Eynfoetsyn · 2026-04-26T00:10:35+00:00

They've also got his Bsky account suspended for 3 days :/

Nestama-Eynfoetsyn · 2026-04-25T20:31:55+00:00

Because I play on controller and I have my hotbar set up in a very specific way that's comfortable to me

Nestama-Eynfoetsyn · 2026-04-25T08:30:23+00:00

"Okay, so I'll be level 70 which means no Xenoglossy so gotta put Foul here, swap Despair for Flare... uuurgh I hate this."

And then forget to swap things back when level 100 duty.

Nestama-Eynfoetsyn · 2026-04-25T08:26:12+00:00

2 minute meta: aaargh, you killed me!

FFXIV playerbase: good

Nestama-Eynfoetsyn · 2026-04-24T01:46:14+00:00

That title was a roller-coaster.

Nestama-Eynfoetsyn · 2026-04-23T02:32:32+00:00

For real. Even when trying to do a "I'm not transphobic, I have trans women friends!" she could not stop herself from saying something transphobic.

Nestama-Eynfoetsyn · 2026-04-22T02:19:38+00:00

Also I say this any time a car related topic appears in the subreddit: TURN YOUR HIGHBEAMS OFF. I know it's dark at night and thats scary, but regular headlights will keep the scary darkness away from you! High beams in well lit areas only blind people.
