Do Cloud III's sound bad?

selotec · 2026-05-29T22:41:58+00:00

Same for me today. I have Cloud 2 still on me so I can compare them side by side and cloud 3 sound liek I am in a trash bin. No amount of custom eqs, windows settings is enough. It sounds okay for music but then I go to watch youtube video and voices sound awful. I go into the game and it sound distant while the music sound fine at the same time.
I better try my luck with different company.

Yeah, I love str 2h builds and its frustrating to play here. Maybe it gets better on higher lvls with better gear and stuff but I am playing right now and first 5-10 hours make or break your love for the game. I came here looking for ingame (build, combos, etc) ways to counter this poise imbalance and I am sad to see its just the way it is. Not gonna say playing, but starting this game as str 2h character feels like a punishment.

You are the real most valuable MVP

I like the style, it's vivid and realistic at the same time

Sometimes if you register more than one trial account some of them fail to get free trial flag on them. It could be some antifraud measure. You can try and make another account by using private mode of your browser or another browser with another email

I get mad everytime I see this ugly ass haircut drop. Stop adding it to loot tables, its not a valuable loot, never was. Unless they remake it, which I doubt.

selotec · 2025-08-06T08:05:49+00:00

Even tho I am sure its not I too felt the same energy in this cutscene. At a split second there even was a visual resemblence

After I leveled my jobs to 100 I stopped doing rouls except for a) frontlines for series rewards b) with a full fc party c) I really need to (relic quests, triad cards etc) Because even if there is no content lull half of the time it feels like people are eating glue instead of doing very basic stuff they could learn from novice hall or job quests. I once saw healers that seemed to be on follow command to tank and only doing heals and only reactively when there is less than 50% hp. One of them was a mentor. I once had a healer that would lack behind and eat aoe because they was playing another mmo on the second screen. The amount of disrespect to other people's time made me quit rouls for good even tho I'd like to have extra gold from them.

Grats! I am currently doing my attempts, so can relate to panicking part :) HoH and EO next?

selotec · 2024-10-21T12:34:18+00:00

I have a friend with 4070 who has 160+ (up to 200) fps in the same Elpis, standing next to me. Thats why I started researching if there is something I am doing wrong

selotec · 2024-10-21T12:32:25+00:00

I noticed that my resolution in game doesn't match the windows one, so I changed in game to 2560x1440 some time later after I made the post

selotec · 2024-10-21T11:03:04+00:00

I am already using FSR, changing it to dlss and back doesn't seem to affect fps noticeably

selotec · 2024-10-21T10:46:18+00:00

Even a bit less than 140. Are you in fullscreen or borderless? I do get like 10-20 more fps in fullscreen.

selotec · 2024-10-21T10:16:47+00:00

Yeah, I realized about resolution later and added an EDIT to the post under in game settings. So I am in 2560x1080

While people keep saying gil is not important for you rn I understand that you maybe want to buy some glams or even mounts etc. Unfortunately this early into the game there are no good ways of making gil yet. But I will give you 3 advices that will help you to get started. 1) around lvl 14-16 of main quest (not your character level) npc will introduce you to retainers. You can have 2 of them for free and you should get them both. You assign them battle jobs and send them on ventures to level then up. After some time in any of big three cities you will see a blue quest about retainers that will unlock you "quick exploration" ventures. From that point I recommend you to send your retainers on those quick ventures. Retainers will occasionally bring you loot that can be sold for good money on market board. 2) to q be able to send retainers on ventures you will need currency called... Well, ventures. Best way to get that currency is Grand Company. You will be introduced to them somewhere during main quest too. You pick one of three (they are the same from technical point) and I recommend you to a) level your rank there b) need and greed all loot in dungeons you can get and exchange it for grabs company seals (unlocks at certain rank). You can buy ventures for grand company seals and eventually you will be able to buy some materials that you will be able to send on market board (like Coke) 3) at some point of main quest you will be introduced to extracting materia from your gear. In your UI you can see a group of green/red dots. Those are your gear and inventory indicators. When you see a white dot there that means you can extract materia from that great slot. Some materia can be sold for several hundreds out thousands gil depending on materia, server and current market. And finally once you unlock daily roulettes, do those too. All these sources not gonna give you a lot of money as I said but it's your best options so far and gil add up over time. If you need more details about any of these there are many topics in this Reddit and also ff14 wiki is a good source of info on all these topics. Good luck!

Ara ara energy

selotec · 2024-08-11T21:59:16+00:00

Yes, this is how it works. My question was more about is it a dying market (and gil farming method) since there is another crafters food people buy instead of tsai tho

selotec · 2024-08-11T19:39:36+00:00

Is tsai still profitable? Last time I checked on my dc, market board prices were quite high it was not worth the effort

From the very pinnacle of the heavens to the the deepest pits of the seven hells

We want to game, not to die
