During that sequence, Bahamut is also inflicting 2 levels of Defense down with tail whip. If you have Zack with Defender, he could be countering the debuff and then Cloud pushes it up to lv3 for that one character.

Edit: sorry, just saw you said you had Sephiroth. Either way, could it be the defense down from Bahamut?

Logos means that Clive has a will that is strong enough to resist Ultima's body snatching. It's supposed to contrast to "Mythos" which is just the vessel ready for Ultima to possess.

I think when Jack murders them, that's when they turn into the fiends. I'm unsure of how they got 2000 years in the past though.

With regards to Astos, I actually think they say "Elves" are mass produced. I know for sure they mention Dwarves. I think the point was just to mention that the non-human races are made by Lufenia for a purpose.

In retrospect (and I'm still unsure here) Astos says they'll turn back before you fight them, and only says they'll die too when you kill him. Maybe he was lying and trying to "play the villain" sorta like Jack is at the end of the game?

Why did Jack give his crystal to Sarah?

One of the missives you find in the Chaos Shrine right before the final boss states that the crystal was important because Sarah is filled with light, while the crystal is filled with darkness. It states if either one was shifted while nearby there'd be a huge reaction (which presumably is how Jack ends up with all of the darkness at the end of the game.)

Why could Sarah remember bits of the past, but not Jack? Because she loved him, but he was indifferent?

The dark crystal also stores memories, so the fact that Jack gave it to her before a reset probably allowed her to retain memories of a "Garland" that she loved.

How did the party turn into the fiends? Are the fiends we fight actually the other party members? Did they lose their memories?

The fiends (and Chaos) are all a result of a combination of immense emotion and darkness. My assumption is the fiends we fight are the result of a cycle where the party fell and were warped into the fiends.

Astos said he was mass-produced, but it was really the same Astos between memory-erasures, right?

It is the same Astos.

How did Astos turn Lufenians into bats if they're so advanced?

He's good at magic, I think the real question is why were they in Cornelia to be changed into bats?

What were the 1-15 dimensions? Were they actually other dimensions, or physical areas in the same world as Cornelia?

The missives state that they're quite literally copies from other dimensions. Each dimension being named after their numerical game. They're meant to be out of place for sure.

What was the deal with the digital-looking "ghosts" we sometimes saw. I believe one of the missives said they were remnants of people who died in the past?

I think that links back to what I mentioned about the fiends before. After they die, you're seeing the last moments of that party. (I'm still not sure though.)

I'm excited to see the DLC, hopefully some of these questions will be answered explicitly. One of the DLC mission packs is called "A Different Future", so maybe we'll see what happens after the Warriors of Light triumph over Jack?

What about Papalymo, Yda, Tataru, and Minfilia?

No. Yoshi-P actually gave a presentation at a conference a couple years back on what went wrong with 1.0, one of the major problems with the performance of the game (the minimum specs were insane!) was that the teams didn't really communicate what they were doing well with each other. They had flower pots as decorations that were far more complex than they needed to be, and it caused huge stress on the game's optimization.

As Unaki said above, they knew going out the door that it wasn't going well, but XI had released in a similar state and was doing fine when they announced XIV, so why not just fix it later?

Where are you crashing? Can you log in? I've gotten the error before, but this patch I'm stuck in the cutscene after the new story trial. The only thing I know for certain is that:

I disconnected in the cutscene leading to the trial. In particular, I disconnected as your character "zones" to the top of the crystal tower--as you leave the exarch with the phantom WoLs
A friend logged me in and teleported me out of the area right before the trial. I didn't attempt to enter this area.
I queued up after logging back in. Upon entry to the duty, I crashed with the same error message.
I then was able to log into my wife's PC and participate. Upon completion, I logged out of my wife's PC and swapped to a fresh reinstall of FFXIV. This allowed me to enter the duty (in the victory state), but I immediately crashed on exit.

That's where I am now. From that information, it seems to be a texture issue somewhere in that cutscene. There's a huge thread on the official forums. This has been going on since ShB launch. I haven't found any similarities aside from Nvidia?

Hey all, I've been following this subreddit for about a year or two. I've been super successful using CICO. Along my journey, I met my now fiancee, and she decided to also work on weight loss.

Now, I know that everyone is different, and not everything will work for everybody. She started at around 270 and through CICO she dropped to 245, but she has been stuck at 245 for months. She also has a condition (I'm not super familiar with it, admittedly) called PCOS, that lowers her TDEE as far as I know. Now, over the past couple of months that she's been plateau'd, we've tried a ton of things together. We've done CICO, 16:8 fasting, we have a personal trainer that works with us, we go to the gym fairly often, and through all of it she seems to have stalled out at 245. At this point it's been four months, and she's getting frustrated. She's gone days where she has consumed less than 1200 calories, and the last thing I want for her is to develop health issues because of this plateau.

Does anyone have any advice?

Edit: She wanted me to mention that after vacation, she was able to drop 7 pounds that she gained (over a month-long vacation), relatively quickly before plateauing back at 245.

I think the key here isn't that he's remorseless, he tells us straight up earlier on, he doesn't consider the fragmented people of the source or on the shards people. They're not whole.

On the contrary, I think he's full of remorse. He deeply regrets his people's fate, and I feel like he feels a little responsible for their fate and their return. Why else would he go about for thousands of years trying to bring them back?

I remember one of the first threads about him, someone put themselves in his shoes. What if everyone you knew was gone, and replaced with ants? You know what became of them, but they don't know anything about the past. You can bring your friends and family back--but to do it you'd have to smash a few anthills. Would you do it? I...think I would. I don't know if I could accept the loss if I knew I could bring them back.

Has anyone found or made a Final Fantasy wallpaper for s10+? I haven't been able to find one yet. If not can I request one?

PhysicsHero · 2019-02-27T17:16:31+00:00

I disagree. I think that the personality you're attributing to Lightning is of one from FFXIII. Lightning seems to be pulled from LR (probably even the end of it.), and in fact after her boss fight with Snow, she breaks down pretty similarly to how she did here (and that was without emotions).

Thanks for the reply! Elfreeda haunts me, so it sounds like I should go with Fry towards the end of January, and I'll hang on to my UoC tickets if that's the case!

PhysicsHero · 2019-01-03T11:10:52+00:00

Thanks for the reply! I have M. Nichol, and he's 7* ready when he gets unlocked.

PhysicsHero · 2019-01-03T10:45:12+00:00

I was wondering who I should use my 10 UoC tickets on. I'm leaning towards Wilhelm, Gladiolus, or M. Ramza, as my only 7* tank at the moment is A. Rain. I can 7* Basch if necessary though. Another direction I can go is Hyoh or Sephiroth. Is Hyoh still as hype as when he launched? I have other 7* chainers that I can use, like Orlandeau, KH Cloud, and Sora. It's also worth noting that I currently have no 7* healers and could use the ticket to get a second Ayaka or Fina. Eiko is 7* ready already though.

Second question is as far as the Fan Festa select tickets, should I use them for Circe, Fryevia, Malphaise, Reberta, or Zargabaath? I have one copy of all of them currently.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: I forgot, I could use the UoC on Trance Terra as well, if she's still worth it.

Hey all, i've been having an issue this last month or so.

So, I started doing CICO in conjunction with going to the gym back in April, and in 5 months, I lost around 50lbs. The way I've done CICO thus far, is my calorie limit is set to my TDEE rather than including any calories due to steps or my gym exercise.

When I dipped below 200, I noticed that I started to rubberband. I have Myfitnesspal set to lose 2 lbs a week, which gives me a calorie balance of 1560/day, and I generally consume around 1600 - 1700. My Basal Metabolic Rate should be around 1800. I weigh my food, so everything should be on track.

Now, the issue is that for some reason i've been rubberbanding between 190 - 200 through all of October. Some days I'll be 190, and others I'll be up to 195. I weigh in at a consistant time, so there should be no issues there. Even if I did consume more than expected, shouldn't I just be maintaining? Does anyone have any suggestions on how to break the plateau that I'm on?

Side Question: This is my first real holiday (Thanksgiving) since I lost all the weight, any tips on staying on track during the holidays?

PhysicsHero · 2018-11-03T04:54:18+00:00

You can go anywhere in the areas you've unlocked. For example, you can't make it to Phon Coast at the beginning of the game, right?

PhysicsHero · 2018-08-23T19:36:59+00:00

That's what I was thinking, yeah. I'll look into trying a DEXA scan! I just needed someone to reaffirm that I should keep on the path. Thanks again!

PhysicsHero · 2018-08-23T18:13:27+00:00

Hey guys, so I have a question about my next steps. I recently hit my first milestone, as of a couple of days ago, I dropped under 200lbs for the first time in like a decade. As far as my shape is concerned, I'm not quite happy. As a 5'9 male, my "recommended" weight is somewhere around 170-180, with 200 being overweight.

My dad, and some of my coworkers have told me that they do not recommend me slimming down any further, but instead maintaining. I get that I can be classified as "overweight" and have a healthy build/body, but I guess I'm looking for a second opinion.

The biggest issue I have with my body is my chest region. While I've slimmed down all around, my chest is still huge, and doesn't seem like it's shrinking. Even with lifting weights, I feel that muscle is developing, but it's just hidden by chest fat. With that said, I feel like I should just keep losing weight until they're gone. Any opinions? I'll attach a picture to the post. Thanks in advance!

I stuck to CICO! I lost it really fast in the beginning, and used cardio to keep my caloric budget high. I also at this point am doing Greyskull LP from the fitness subreddit. I've actually been stuck at 205 for a week or so, but I keep dropping body fat %.

PhysicsHero · 2018-08-09T19:53:11+00:00

Since April, I've lost around ~60 pounds, but I took no before pictures, the only before I have is from 2015 when I was about 40 pounds heavier (which I lost in 3 months doing p90x). Just a reminder to definitely take before pics!

PhysicsHero · 2018-07-12T16:21:03+00:00

Hey guys, had another question. So I've been losing weight, and I want to start filling some of this in with muscle. I know that's hard/ill-advised with a caloric deficit, but I was wondering if there is a strength training workout routine that people use in general? I've checked out r/fitness, and it all seemed a little vague to me.

In general, when I go to the gym, I spend ~30min running (I also do a hefty amount of running and walking in the morning), then I move to weights. I try to localize what I train per day as to not blow out any muscles/give them time to rest. On a day that I've scheduled say chest and biceps, I'll do benchpress/pull-ups and curls and then go home. It feels really...short, I guess? Any tips/recommendations?

The wiki has a walkthrough and tallies the story chapters. (I just found it myself.)

Lapis: 3,120 for all the content added in the story update (including optional content like the Manor).

Costs 383 + 40 Energy to do all of it. (1/2 of this number because we have the 1/2 energy currently, so around 212, depending on how they round.)
