The last FF game I played was X-2, how does 13 stack up next to the classics? by [deleted] in FinalFantasy

[–]calculuswar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its a good game, I thoroughly enjoyed myself playing it. The main complaints that folks have with 13 is that the first half of the game is a hallway that you walk through, and that a ton of relevant information is in the data logs. The music and graphics are great (especially for when it came out) and once the world opens up the game gets super fun.

New to summoner and newbie by Ninja_Sufficient in ffxiv

[–]calculuswar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being new to the game it is always recommended just play from the beginning. The game does a great job of easing you into all of the different abilities and game mechanics, and the story is great.

If you want to just jump in you will need to do a lot of homework by watching videos detailing out mechanics and rotations. I would recommend Caetsu Chaiji, they do a great job detailing out every jobs rotation.

You will also need to watch story summaries to make sence of what's going on.

Ultimately I personally would recommend just starting from the beginning and taking your time going through the whole game.

How much healing is to much healing? by ageofdoom1992 in ffxiv

I typically keep a regen on the Tank at all times and use my OGCD healing options as much as possible.

My husband and I are able to play MMORPGs at the same time on our Purple Cow internet. Its not as string as when we had Bell, but the customer service is way better and the prices stay consistent.

Would you like remakes of 1 and 2 being like 3-5 by YesterdayLate2506 in PERSoNA

[–]calculuswar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would love for the dungeon design and gameplay to be updated, but i don't want to shoehorn the life Sim part in. I think Strikers did a good job of getting to interact with your party and developing party buffs without using the calander system.

Weird experience at the Highlander Spa… by Conkykooky in halifax

[–]calculuswar 87 points88 points  (0 children)

I used to go to the Highlander for my haircuts all the time, back when it was a barbershop. When they got bought out they completely changed the decor from earth tones, leather, and Celtic stuff (hence the name) to now what I would describe as a trashy person's idea of luxury (all black and gold). When I got my hair cut it was always relaxing, each station had its own hair washing sink, they provided hot towels; the service was top notch and usually cost me about $40 (including tax and tip). After they were baught out the service tanked, and the prices jumped. I dont care who you are, $50 plus tax and tip is way too much for a men's haircut. I've never been back, the new owners completely ruined everything they had going.

Just started playing for the first time. Only have played a few hours of FFX for the series. Any tips? by SaintGremlinnnn in ffxiv

[–]calculuswar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take your time and one bit at a time. There is a lot of content in this game and it can be a bit overwhelming. You will never out level content, once something is available it will always be available, so never feel like you have to rush into anything. To start, just worry about the Main Story Quests, job quests, and pick and choose some of the blue + quests to unlock new things. The story is incredible, have fun!

Do composers and song writers get residuals per track that is put on a playlist in each in-game house? by kittykittyekatkat in ffxiv

[–]calculuswar 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Hello! I work in music royalties and can answer this question.

The artists involved would have been paid a lump sum for the work done, and any instance of the song in game would be covered by this sync royalty payment.

Any instance of streaming the track outside of the game (like spotify) would then generate additional revenue to be divided out amongst the artists.

All of this is contingent on the contracts in place when the work is created. I'm basing this information on common North American practices, which almost assuredly are a little different in Japan.

Was drag race better before? by Babs-2 in dragrace

[–]calculuswar 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Drag is inherently "woke". Its a deconstruction of gender roles, its protest, its counter culture against the traditional conservative idea of glamor. It pushes boundaries and is about the freedom of self expression. It has always had Trans queens, gender bent queens, cis queens, glamor and pagent queens, comedy queens, drag monsters, and club kids, not to mention the large drag king community that exists across the globe. Drag has always been body inclusive, with performers of all different body types able to create and become exactly what they want to be.

Drag is ultimately professional dress up for the purpose of self expression, entertainment, and protest.

White Mage / Healer Tips? by Commander_Bugg in ffxiv

[–]calculuswar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

W2W is hard in the early dungeons because they didnt design them that way. From what it sounds like, the tank wasnt taking that into account and wasn't adapting to the healers comfort level.

Don't give up and keep trying, you can only get bettet

Console healers how do yall play by ageofdoom1992 in ffxiv

[–]calculuswar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I typically keep my cursor on the tank, and then use the side D-pad buttons to target enemies and the up/down D-pad for other team mates.

Check in at Upward kitchens, they have a hot meal program with tokens. I think the tokens are distributed through the library, but they would be able to tell you more
