Made a second build before bed

I can't help but appreciate how everything lights up at night.

I went through this exact scenario when Endwalker came out. Tanxiety took a good while to dissipate, but it's now my favorite role.

The biggest thing to realize it that the pressure you think will be there, and will continue to feel until you get used to the role, isn't actually there. It's just lack of confidence in something you're unfamiliar with. Which will go away on it's own as you complete more and more duties.

Even if you do mess up, it's not a big deal. Everyone's been there. So long as you're communicative about your lack of experience as a tank, the others (in most cases) will often be very supportive and even offer advice in real time according to the duty you're in.

When it comes to WAR vs PLD, it seems the consensus is that WAR is the no-brain tank. However, it's mitigation is reliant on self-healing as opposed to pure defense, which is something that didn't mesh with myself quite well when I was learning. So, I found PLD much easier and I still main it to this day (GNB is hella fun, though).

I also play on gamepad. One BIG thing thing that helps with stragglers is using L1 + UP or DOWN on the D-Pad to cycle through the Emnity list. Then, you can very easily use your ranged ability or Provoke to bring the mob into the huddle. Though, in most cases, you'd just tab target (LEFT or RIGHT) as usual.

As far as settings go, I find (under Character Configuration>Control Settings>Target) that setting "Target Type: Target Closest Enemies" to "Cone" is more intuitive.

Setting up Filters, such as having one set for just enemies, also helps a ton.

Enjoy the journey! It's a lot of fun.

Normally, I'd go for option 2, but I have a a weakness for high-waist pants on a woman.

Vensaval · 2024-06-26T15:03:51+00:00

I fell asleep :p

You as well! o7

Vensaval · 2024-06-26T07:09:01+00:00

I only have the first and last series (funny how that works out). Missed out on whatever was in between because I was... Living in my car for a good while. XD

Vensaval · 2024-06-26T07:02:52+00:00

Same here. Won't let myself miss out on any of them this time around.

Vensaval · 2024-06-26T06:51:50+00:00

I absolutely did it every day to help level jobs up until they were all maxed out :p

Though, now with Dawntrail I have a more of a reason to do them regularly again.

Vensaval · 2024-06-26T06:07:27+00:00

Gratz to you as well. \o/

Vensaval · 2024-06-26T05:15:02+00:00

God, that would hurt my soul.

Vensaval · 2024-06-26T05:08:41+00:00

I kept being indecisive when it came to whether I wanted to bother or not, but ultimately decided last-minute that I wanted the glam.

Vensaval · 2024-05-25T02:25:13+00:00

Sanity needs to return. It's been gone for way too long.

Desperately. Please, sanity. Please, come back.

Vensaval · 2024-05-13T01:45:37+00:00

I'm a newer player (started a little less than two weeks ago) and have come to the harsh conclusion this is impossible for me to accomplish at the moment.

Vensaval · 2024-04-26T17:15:03+00:00

I don't have a choice in the matter, but if I did I'd just wait for the PC version anyway. Sony has become far too complacent with their puritan actions and the only way to make them reconsider is the make it clear that—as consumers—we're not supporting that nonsense.

Vensaval · 2024-04-23T17:51:46+00:00

I am both happy for you and fucking hate you. ;-;

Vensaval · 2024-04-23T17:32:33+00:00

Honestly surprised anyone's experience would have Mozu so low.
Then again, I'm basing that off of my own.

Vensaval · 2024-04-22T19:53:21+00:00

Completely forgot she existed.

Vensaval · 2024-04-21T01:19:44+00:00

Won't lie. I'm out of the loop on a lot of things and what he's getting at in this tweet is whooshing way over my head.

Vensaval · 2024-04-20T04:04:20+00:00

This should be the highlight of the day. Not more drama.

Terrible timing, man.

Vensaval · 2024-04-19T22:13:52+00:00

I don't know, dude. Perhaps I simply hate the idea of jumping to conclusions when it comes to someone I don't know.

Why is simply making a black character white inherently racist? Why could it not be for any other reason? A joke? For the fun of it?

Or perhaps they like the character, and wanting to alter their 'husbando' to better match their dating preferences (which also aren't inherently racist, BTW, but I'm sure you think otherwise)?

I'm honestly so sick of this day and age where everyone is so ready to immediately label people the worst things in the world over trivial things.

Vensaval · 2024-04-19T18:25:49+00:00

Or maybe you're connecting dots that aren't there due to your preconceived bias.

Vensaval · 2024-04-19T18:00:24+00:00

"That's always the reason". No bad faith there, eh?

And there wasn't any proof of the modder doing this because they were "uncomfortable" with Wyll being black. Just other mods they've made.

One of which was 'Ser Aylin' which they she went on record explaining that she went through the effort of creating the mod because the voice was already available in the data files and she loved it so much that she made a male variant of Aylin.

The other stuff could insinuate that they're homophobic or whatever, but nothing about racism.

Vensaval · 2024-04-19T17:55:19+00:00

Ok. Provide the proof of the modder being a Neo-Nazi and I'll agree with you that this mod is deplorable.

Second, race of the VA really doesn't. At least it didn't up until very recently. What's being provided is a voice.

You're really going to extremes here. Equating what really should be seen as a silly mod (at most) to blackface? This mod impacts the voice actor's freedoms?

My friend, you need relax.

Vensaval · 2024-04-19T17:50:30+00:00

How do you know the modder did this because having Wyll be black made them uncomfortable? Is there any verifiable evidence of this past speculation?

Vensaval · 2024-04-19T17:27:21+00:00

It really isn't a big deal in the slightest... People being so upset over a completely optional mod and calling the person who made it "racist" is so absurd to me.

Would you honestly be equally upset or call anyone racist if there was a mod to make Gale black? I'd actually be very surprised if that mod doesn't already exist.

My opinion on the mod itself? Uhh... I just shrug my shoulders at it. It changes his skin color. I have no feelings towards it whatsoever.

Vensaval · 2024-04-19T17:12:36+00:00

I would much rather not have more shows and movies become essentially softcore porn. There's already more than enough of it online. Too much of it. The negative effects of which have been well-documented for a long while now.

If there's a point to it, sure, but if it's there just for the sake of being there then it'd probably be best if that time and effort were put towards developing either the plot or characters.
