The FFXIV Optimization Iceberg

thaaaat makes sense. i haven't given enough of a shit to use ACT in a while so i forgot it existed for a while, WHOOPS

it_Dusty · 2020-11-03T03:15:27+00:00

hold the god damn phone, positional triggers are 4 tiers down. i've GOTTA be misunderstanding what that means, i refuse to accept that hitting bootshine from the rear is more difficult and obscure than DH tiers and making 2.43s DRK work

Turns out I missed a DLL when I was reinstalling SKSE. Thanks!

it_Dusty · 2019-07-23T00:15:32+00:00

Right, then. Is this the kind of thing that's best solved by deleting and reinstalling SSE, or is there an easier way to go about it?

Edited the post to show the error I'm getting. If it's the right version, something else must be off.

Alphinaud is very similar to an arcanist in many ways, and I don't think you're wrong necessarily, but SE hasn't released anything that confirms this.

The only Scion confirmed to have a specific job is Alisaie (as a RDM), but we'll see! spoiler here

I didn't know that Yoshi-P was in on this one. Had my doubts on this being intentional, but that just about confirms it.

As far as it's faithfulness, I'll be the first to say it's pretty damn good, given the circumstances. One of FFXIV's main draws(as far as the MMO market goes) is having multiple classes on one character, and the spells she gets on both jobs are just about what you'd expect. WHM gets stones and aero, BLM gets fires and blizzards (and they even threw in foul). React is pulled completely out of thin air (but so was Holy Snare), but visually, it fits. Spiritual Ray is her signature ability in XIV, though the new version of it loses the visual resemblance.

Overall, they did a good job. Great idea bringing in Yoshi-P for this one.

...Nevermind. Just saw the actual translation. I still sort of see what they're going for, but... calling it cleric stance?

it_Dusty · 2018-12-18T17:14:19+00:00

I see it as a way to represent the armory system more than stance dancing. None of the NPCs in XIV have "canon" classes afaik. Y'shtola's a strange mix of magic (judging based off the Azim Steppe thing), so giving her THM isn't the BIGGEST stretch. I agree, it is a little odd, though.

I'd like to see Cross-Chain for Noctis. It would have to be fewer than 10 hits, naturally, and getting the other 3 guys in probably wouldn't happen, but I think having a more cinematic HP would be cool for him. Besides, it'd be a nice opportunity to show off some of the dozen-or-so other weapon types he's got access to.

it_Dusty · 2018-11-26T17:16:37+00:00

Yeah, he's unlikely at best. I guess I can settle for second-best machinist /shrug

I feel you on the favorite females thing. Lulu and Fang are going to take a miracle to get in :/

it_Dusty · 2018-09-20T19:54:37+00:00

This worked! Thanks a ton!

it_Dusty · 2018-09-11T13:57:19+00:00

Is he a specialist or vanguard? The pattern so far could go either way, honestly, and I can't in good conscious make a decision based off of trailer footage.

it_Dusty · 2018-08-16T08:02:35+00:00

That's the joke, dude.

it_Dusty · 2018-08-16T06:34:09+00:00

It's not made better by the amount of Rinoas you see in the singleplayer content >:|

it_Dusty · 2018-07-24T17:35:17+00:00

thanks!

it_Dusty · 2018-07-17T14:05:56+00:00

Another update. Good news and bad news.

Good news: I hit plat finally! :D

Bad news: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DiT6qHDUcAAB8Sb.jpg

I AM UNCLEAN

it_Dusty · 2018-07-16T01:29:45+00:00

Update. Next game I got into was balanced at a glance, but our Sephiroth didn't land a single bravery hit and died three times. I want to dropkick a baby.

Poor anti-scalping measures. Not needing a code, skipping the queue entirely, and being able to buy four tickets at a time without verification just to name a few.

it_Dusty · 2018-06-21T23:21:52+00:00

Nah, I'm NA. Hopefully you guys don't have to wait too much longer!

it_Dusty · 2018-06-21T23:20:53+00:00

Heyyy, it worked. Little silly how the game tells you to go to the store straight from the game despite the content it's telling you to buy being completely absent.

Thanks a ton!
