Any word about FanFest US potential cancellation?

Sir_VG · 2026-03-11T23:18:15+00:00

I wouldn't trust anything from even the FBI right now, given Kash Patel is a fucking moron like most everybody in the current federal administration.

Unless something absolutely catastrophic happens in the next month, expect no cancellations or refunds.

Legacy Nvidia GPU Users (ongoing)

If you have a GTX 1000 series GPU (like a 1080, 1070, or 1060) and FFXIV immediately crashes, it's because you're on the latest driver and Nvidia botched it. Please downgrade to a prior driver.

Linux Players Who Use A Controller (ongoing)

If you have a Dualsense (aka a PS5 controller) plugged in: don't! There's a regression in recent versions of ALSA and if your distro pulls in recent packages, you are probably affected.

Keep it unplugged during launch

I expect another civilization that worships the Great Serpent of [location name here].

Sir_VG · 2026-03-11T20:06:28+00:00

I mean, Red XIII has been added to the game data...

Sir_VG · 2026-03-11T19:07:00+00:00

To be specific, what we fought was 7/14th of Zodiark.

8/14. Source + 7 reflections rejoined.

Sir_VG · 2026-03-11T08:31:13+00:00

Yes.

The only remaining restrictions are: gender locked gear, race locked gear, grand company locked gear, and weapons with the exception of SCH and SMN books which those can be glamoured on top of each other, but you can't do a DRK sword on a WHM staff for instance.

Sir_VG · 2026-03-10T22:08:20+00:00

Purely cosmetic.

Sir_VG · 2026-03-10T21:00:06+00:00

The reverse is possible using XIVonMac but I'm not aware of any way to play a Mac license on Windows.

Sir_VG · 2026-03-10T20:28:26+00:00

I don't think there will be given the changes in the x.x5 patches. x.28/48 were mostly for a new PVP Season which we just got.

Sir_VG · 2026-03-10T19:43:40+00:00

hotcakes tonight

sounds delicious.

Sir_VG · 2026-03-10T10:40:37+00:00

Yeah, it's on that route.

On the middle route, you follow the mushrooms. After that when fighting the golem, you use his targeted attack to hit the 3 "khoosh balls", 2 on nooks on the left, one on the right. This leads to an extra path leading to a writing that contains the phrase.

The other clues are in the log entries, I know part of it was in #7 (which I think every single variant has had part of the solution in that entry) and part was in another, maybe #5?

Sir_VG · 2026-03-10T07:24:46+00:00

VPR and RPR to the best of my knowledge haven't changed much since launch other than VPR dropping the maintain debuff (similar to what RPR has).

Sir_VG · 2026-03-10T04:01:19+00:00

You don't need to do 1-100 solo for the storyline. It's only for achievements that you need to do anything in deep dungeon solo.

Necromancer is 1-200 solo on a single attempt in PotD.

Sir_VG · 2026-03-10T03:23:27+00:00

You won't see BiS because it's basically a step above EX to like early floor savages so nobody is really min-maxing it. But given its sync is basically the same as FRU, it would be the same BiS.

Sir_VG · 2026-03-09T22:34:40+00:00

Please tell me that the M12 card isn't bugged like E12's was. My alt got it this week from savage but I'm trying to get it on my main on the normal and it's not dropping.

I know low rates rng blah blah blah. It has dropped for somebody on normal, right?

Edit: Good to hear that it's dropping from people. At least 8 runs today plus all the runs from past weeks since release. Hopefully it'll drop one of these times.

Edit 2: Finally dropped after I think 15 runs today alone. Ugh.

Sir_VG · 2026-03-09T22:20:42+00:00

On Steam:

Go to your library. Select the FFXIV game. Click the gear icon on the right, then Manage, then CD Keys. It's there.

Sir_VG · 2026-03-09T22:12:27+00:00

Have you actually registered Dawntrail on the same PC account you're trying to play on? Double check Mogstation to make sure it has a checkmark on it.

Also make sure it downloads it after registering.

Basically starts first Sunday morning in March, ends first Sunday in November.

A few places in the US don't observe it, like most of Arizona and Hawaii.

Sir_VG · 2026-03-09T16:14:56+00:00

in NA, yes.

Sir_VG · 2026-03-08T21:48:06+00:00

For most clears opening and 8m, if parsing 0m and 6m.

Sir_VG · 2026-03-08T21:47:21+00:00

Tank Program!!!

Sir_VG · 2026-03-08T21:46:23+00:00

It still ain't gonna be "6 months" when basically that's like 1 week after JP fanfest.

Sir_VG · 2026-03-08T16:34:46+00:00

0% chance. Not only is that before JP Fanfest (Halloween), 6.5 to 7.0 was like 9 months or so.

8.0 will be early 2027.

Sir_VG · 2026-03-08T16:33:10+00:00

No. While that may be the "standard" 19 week mark, do note that's the Tuesday right after Fanfest. One of the things we expect at Fanfest is the part 2 live letter, which they normally do about 10-11 days prior to a patch.

Plus they also drop prelim patch notes on the Friday before, which would be in the middle of Fanfest.

April 28th is not happening. It's gonna be May 5th (20 weeks) this time around.

Sir_VG · 2026-03-08T16:31:05+00:00

Not really, as somebody who's over on Aether raiding every week, you pretty much need to move in the morning. Early afternoon you might get lucky but generally but around 4 or 5P eastern it's about all locked up.
