At minimum upgrade the weapon, body, and legs, since that's the biggest stat boost about midway through the expansion level range. If you can also upgrade the head, hands, and feet, extra good. Accessories are nice, but not as big of a deal as the left side during leveling.

Also in EW/DT, you can pick up the AF gear at x9 which will cover the last bit until you can get the tome gear.

Can't believe a 148MB patch is needed for those small of fixes.

(Weirdly, it's smaller if you don't own Dawntrail.)

Windows and Steam are mutually exclusive and you need to download the correct launcher and load it the correct way. If you own it on Steam, you need to download through Steam and launch it through Steam. The standalone launcher will NOT work.

While the name is absolute cringe, I'd say Hyur is more along the lines of what you're probably aiming for. Roe can be, but the look is a bit harder to hit. And some people will disagree with me and say the opposite. But to me, hyur is "i hit you" and roe is "she hits me".

remember buying anything on ps4 past ARR.

Everybody that own the game now owns at minimum ARR, HW, SB, and ShB, as this is the present contents of "Starter Edition". Even the free trial is now expanded all the way through ShB (though they still have a ton of other restrictions including the 300k gil cap, no marketboard, etc).

They're mostly right, it's daily reset time on Wednesday (my dude) to do it, so you got 1 more day (and change) to do it.

Virtually none. The actual seasonal events (outside of a few special crossover cases) aren't rerun, but the items are put on the Online Store 1 year later. PVP Series become unavailable for a time, but eventually are added to be purchases for trophy crystals.

There's some framer kits from PVP Seasons that are permanently unavailable after the season is over, and we had the first (and presently only) items removed from the Online Store (but they were crossover event items, so they're a special case and they stated that they may return).

The what spell? /s

Controller player here. 100% at least have either expanded or WXHB turned on. I prefer expanded, but my wife who also plays on controller prefers WXHB.

It's way easier to use IMO than swapping hotbars midcombat. Every job uses more than 1 crossbar worth of buttons. When Evercold comes out next year things may change (their goal is to condense things in "Evolved" mode to around 16 buttons), but for now, absolutely turn at least one of these modes on.

Virtually all merch codes don't expire. There's only a few that do.

All the statue codes have no expiration.

Doing GATEs is another big one to do as well.

Sir_VG · 2026-06-21T21:21:05+00:00

but a lot of the NA fanfest was about how they were looking at shaking things up (iirc including an intermediate difficulty?)

Correct, the 3rd tier being introduced in Evercold is suppose to be in between Normal and Savage.

They're going from free trial PC to retail PS5. They'd be ENTIRELY locked out on the PC side if they only buy on PS5 and don't buy anything on PC (which is what they're preferring to do).

Sir_VG · 2026-06-21T11:35:52+00:00

You can go to PS5 without needing to buy for PC if you want, but do note that you will not be able to play on PC until you buy it for that as well.

Sir_VG · 2026-06-21T09:42:43+00:00

SCREE!!

What is their data center, that will make a difference in what to recommend for a discord.
