[Megathread] Final Fantasy XIV

[Remilia]

The actual benchmark video itself is up on Youtube now, though (I checked it out during lunch via phone).

I'm eager to download and run the benchmark on my PC, though.

Oh right.... shhh this never happened.

[Anzaman]

I feel like they are intentionally avoiding requests and adding short hairstyles..





I mean.. yeah, sure I can imagine using style #2, but oh god that style #1 is just horrible.

Can't we have something nice like (spoiler) this? Why can only NPC's get nice hairstyles?

[Faroth]

Hers isn't that different than my monk's character, the NPC just has the longer hair at the sides of her head. Shouldn't be impossible to get something like that.

That's also what Yugiri has, isn't it?

[Anzaman]

That's also what Yugiri has, isn't it?

Yugiri has hair split into two bows, while I'm sure that Yotsuyu has long plain hair - like what female Au Ra has available.

Problem is, that my Miqo'te is lacking nice long hairstyle and is somewhat large reason why I have urges to fantasia to Au Ra.

I've watched Ookami to Koushinryou (Spice and Wolf), and somewhat would like to replicate Holo's appearance.

I think im finally reaching my bored point with HW. finished a full 270 set for RDM and SAM, got a a fair few million gil ready for launch, capped at all my tomes bar scripture i keep spending on the odd things for other jobs and full on company seals. With all 23 odd jobs at 60 i'm a bit exhausted of things to do. Granted like 55 days or so isnt forever to wait but i'm full on at the "login, check retainers for gil, do daily trial roullette for some DRK relic light and look at the other ques and then log out" stage.

Maybe i'm overprepared but damn am i just ready for some new final fantasy right about now, especially after the post launch dlc for FFXV has been pretty garbo overall. Roll on Stormblood.

I am starting to creep up on this as well. I'll get enough scripture to finish off MNK (eventually SAM) gear. Think I have 15 of each token from the 24 mans, so getting upgrade scripture gear (including weapons) won't be too bad, so most all those jobs will end up with 270 gear by the time I start to level them (NIN, MCH, BRD, RDM, SAM, AST). Other jobs will already be at 270 by SB launch.

I still have 2 birds to go for the Firebird and have yet to touch pvp at all for those mounts. Almost have GSM desynth at 250, with LTW and WVR in the low 220s...that's where I'm throwing all of my lore at this point instead of at yet another anima weapon I won't need; I'll just opt for augmented shire weapons on those less-played jobs. I have almost 100 of every glamour prism stowed away (close to 200 for LTW, WVR and ARM), piles of food stowed away...oh, guess I could farm scrips for those manual things for the big 150% xp on gatherers and crafters.

I do have Xaela template saved up, but I kinda like Raen's backstory more.

Just wait till you get to the huge Xeala calm lands in 4.0 and see their history and npcs, that fantasia will spend itself

[Eleccybubb]

Thank god my addiction is only to glamour.

Literally I change my BLMs like every 2 seconds. Evenstar, Void Ark, Filibuster, Sorceror, Ironworks and World of Darkness. Finally decided to stick with Makai Set with Serpentskin Bush Hat because it looks rad.

and now an expanded inventory and an entire expansions worth of raid tiers, dungeon tiers, pvp, eureka, hunt log, crafted and artifact gear to mix and match.

I'm worried about my inventory space since we're going to Doma.

I don't want to hire more retainers.

I'm still looking for a link to said info, but I found somewhere today that inventory is increasing by 40 slots and each equipment part of your armory chest is going up by 10. Retainer space won't increase, sadly.

I'll see if I can find out where the heck I saw that earlier...

Unrelated note: Biggest challenge by far is getting long hair that doesn't clip egregiously. Many of the long-ish hairstyles fem highlanders have available manage to do just that (clip really bad in various ways). The PotD/Edda hair proves they can have a long hairstyle that doesn't clip all the things, though.

The worst thing was the Type 0 hairstyle of the Queen character being like a 1million gil market board thing for weeks only for people to find it clipped like a monster.

Question #28 - it's the last question on that page for me.

That's also just the first planned inventory expansion - they'll do that one, check stability, then look to do more with it.

Yeah - I'm really glad I didn't spend any to get that one and got it from RNG. I'd have been pissed to drop more than 15k gil on it and learn how much it clipped (esp since many of my glamours involve collars).

[Anzaman]

Mhmh.. yeah, tho no matter how much they increase inventory size, I'm not comfortable with keeping stuff in it.

Even now I have like 2 or 3 rows of items in bag, rest is just empty. While poor retainers (2) have to carry every single useless glamour item I find, that I might use one day.

Nice, thanks! Guess I read that at lunch (since I can't check OF from work ). And yeah, the collars on seemingly everything is mildly annoying, to put it nicely.

I think that's the same as the one from PotD, back when you couldn't list it on the MB so people were selling it on PF for 7 digit figures for a good week or two.

I think I paid a six digit figure the week after it was able to be listed on the MB cause I hadn't seen the thing drop, only to have it drop a week or so later. Oh well...I've more than made that money back, though.

Unrelated note: Just got done running the benchmark...I'm good to go.

I need that Warrior charge/dash move in my life right now.

[Eleccybubb]

Tbh I'd love to go Lala but I just don't like that mount size is dependent on race in this game. Should just be one universal size for all races imo. I know a few mounts don't count towards this rule like Midgardsomr but meh.

Just that I like Raen's lore and naming conventions more - but I guess it wouldn't be too far fetched to have Raen family adopt Xaela child?
