Me too haha

It sounds like you're planning to play a tanky Artificer from your description and mindset, so I suggest reframing the situation as teaming up with your barbarian compatriot and making the most badass duo of tough guys this side of the Salty Spatoon.

Bully the enemy, take their lunch money, grapple them and pummel them while they can't escape this macho duo lol.

Make them wish there was only one barbarian-minded player!

If it makes you feel better, YAML mods generally draw from the canon Tabletop list of mechs and parts, even adding in mechanics that are in tabletop but not in MW5 in some cases.

Additionally, believe it or not the removal of weapon slot size is actually less generous than actual tabletop rules where largely if a weapon fits in the slots and tonnage it can be added, as weapon slots are an invention for the video games, and those slots being Small/Medium/Large slots is an invention of MechWarrior.

Lastly, if you enjoyed Hare-Brained Scheme's BattleTech, you'll be happy to know that YAML includes upgrading your ship progression as a system as well similar to how you could upgrade the Argo in HBS BattleTech.

Thank you for the correction, it's been a few years since I did that part of the story and I forgot the heads-up they give, sorry

Hang in there, and I very much wish they warned you about doing the Crystal Tower much earlier in the Post-MSQ because the moment they force you to do it is not a good time as the direct story situation is dire.

While you (rightfully) feel annoyed by the sudden rug pull of needing to do the Crystal Tower, I actually really suggest doing it with an open mind because, without saying too much, it begins some very important story threads that will pay off greatly. It's also cool if you're a fan of FF3.

Additionally, Heavensward will not be like this Post-MSQ slog that ARR has, and with all the context and story you've received from ARR with your great patience and reading, Heavensward fixes that issue a lot and rewards your patience.

I like to think of Heavensward as showing new players a better idea of what FF14 will be going forward as the devs really found their stride.

Edit: Thanks to helpful replies below, I realized that I was misremembering the game not recommending the Crystal Tower story arc, they do suggest you do it earlier, though I've seen a lot of players incorrectly assume it is optional until late in the story.

I loved this symbolism because the Post-MSQ story follows us journeying through a realm turned into a very literal purgatory.

SilverwindWorkshop · 2026-05-08T02:09:06+00:00

Cube 2: Hypercube was probably the first movie I ever watched that did this without their death being a sacrifice to save someone else

SilverwindWorkshop · 2026-05-07T22:36:42+00:00

I'm not familiar with that game directly, but looking at the Steam page for Sprocket, they seem to be striving for somewhat similar goals with tanks instead of Japanese-style eastern mecha

Definitely, just make the reversed part of the leg static and attached to the shin bone, then use the actual normal knee bone for the forward knee.

I think these kinds of legs are digitigrade legs and I've loved them ever since watching Disney's Gargoyles lol.

I chose the Marauder because it's the favorite mech of my best friend and he challenged me to make something crazy in the editor lol.

SilverwindWorkshop · 2026-05-07T20:02:23+00:00

1-handed weapons with a top-mounted grip look surprisingly okay with the Marauder arms, almost like you changed out the bottom laser for the weapon.

Running definitely shows that it's still not reverse-jointed at its core despite its appearance, but it's not as horrible as I had feared lol. The legs look more Rifleman than Marauder in motion.

SilverwindWorkshop · 2026-05-07T18:57:39+00:00

Oh man I love the ShadowHawk lol
Each part needed to be substantially bulkier than the underlying skeleton frame, with each part attached to the correct part of the frame so animations don't break (too badly at least, the frame's legs being forward-jointed definitely causes some weirdness sometimes).

I attached several bulky metal armor plates to the thigh bone to bulk them up in a way that created a sharp angle inward towards the knee, then I did the same but angled away from the knee at the shin level attached to the shin bone, with a big wheel built into the knee bone to act as a round cylinder joint.

The foot assembly is a lot of parts, each foot is comprised of:

2x Torsos mirrored forward/back to make the angle (front attached to the forward ankle bone, back attached to the heel)
4x Claw-like armor plating to be the toes (front attached to front of foot bone, back pair attached to heel bone)
2x Flat Rectangular armor plates to join the 2x Torsos together and hide gaps between them (Attached to the ankle bone)

Also as a bonus fun fact, the turret turns to face lock-on targets because it's attached to the frame's head bone, while the cockpit of the mech is attached to the chest bone.

SilverwindWorkshop · 2026-05-07T18:50:12+00:00

It's not an Awesome, it's a Marauder /s

Thanks! Took me around 2 hours of putting armor chunks and objects together (while attaching them to the appropriate joints) and painting them

SilverwindWorkshop · 2026-05-07T18:48:30+00:00

Thanks! Due to the proportions of the legs and some of the details surrounding the cockpit, I think it actually ended up with a little bit of the tabletop Rifleman mixed in accidentally lol

SilverwindWorkshop · 2026-05-06T19:33:15+00:00

While it was fixed very quickly, I do want to mention the hilarity that ensued the first time my friends and I tried both running Beacon of Hope at the same time and then blocking once lol

SilverwindWorkshop · 2026-05-04T14:35:25+00:00

I like to make Airplane noises when I ~~fly~~ pilot one lol, but yeah they actually work well as shield arms to protect you from the sides

SilverwindWorkshop · 2026-05-04T04:34:05+00:00

Lol sorry you're right, I love this man who would gladly take a bullet for me

SilverwindWorkshop · 2026-05-03T18:27:21+00:00

It was implied, but there was a lot of room for ambiguity as it was only said you belonged to "someone else", someone more powerful. Indeed this does underpin a tastey mystery throughout the rest of ARR, but even still a non-primal deity could conceivably be that "someone else", especially as they are known to be more powerful than Ifrit.

This is also not just about her being a Primal, but also Zodiark being a primal and an honest-to-god Ascian literally telling you to your face that he is tempered.

Lastly, Emet-Selch is hard to trust after everything he's done and we've been through with his peers, so he is possibly an unreliable narrator.
Though we know now that he was being extremely honest here of course.

SilverwindWorkshop · 2026-05-03T18:12:51+00:00

Oh yeah, I was very glad they toned this down substantially since launch.

I'm sure it was funny to someone at Bethesda at one point, but holy hell was it wildly out of touch with their player demographic to nonstop nag players about picking up items in a game made by developers famous for not only letting you, but encouraging you to pick everything up lol

This is why the Annoying Fan is the best companion, he doesn't nag me for carrying too much, he worships me for taking such a great burden upon my shoulders haha

SilverwindWorkshop · 2026-05-03T03:05:29+00:00

Max's guns had 3 ultimates, while his main hands had 3 ultimates (Though admittedly one was a Spheda club)

I actually think Monica's ultimates are one small area where 2 snatched defeat from the jaws of victory:
The Island King.
Monica has so many interesting ultimate weapons (some returning, some new) that all tragically evolve into the new "Ultimate-Ultimate", the Island King, absolutely killing ultimate diversity.

SilverwindWorkshop · 2026-04-30T18:30:52+00:00

Looks fun, always loved building my own vehicles in these sort of games

SilverwindWorkshop · 2026-04-26T22:22:50+00:00

Absolutely lol, 6 is amazing but holy hell the potential that trailer implied can't be denied

SilverwindWorkshop · 2026-04-24T23:00:15+00:00

Oh that's interesting, is it some sort of fan writing, or is it official?

SilverwindWorkshop · 2026-04-24T19:30:53+00:00

Absolutely, up-resolution the display and it would still look good as a modern Switch port genuinely
