that s*** was such a spectacle man, one of the coolest s*** I have seen in this game

Edit: I mean the last trial not 89

forreal

you all finished with the MSQ?

i'm taking my time to explore the map, talk to npcs, and do side quests here and there so i'm not even halfway done. i just finished the moon section.

loporrits

final trial was RAW!!!!!

BROOO THE ZENOS FIGHT
(endgame spoilers, don't click if you're not done w/ the MSQ).

Yeah man also I meant the lv 90 trial not the 89 trial, I got confused lol. Lv 89 trial was cool too but the 90 one was outta this world

Also as you said that zenos fight at the end right after the trial was dope as f\*\*\*, the very last cutscene reminds me of the end of persona 5 royal. I seen the same cutscene where someone was fighting zenos as a lalafel and that s\*\*\* look hilarious af though

Very quick thoughts, dont read until finished the msq

Gotta say that I really love Meteion as a villan, I know some people are gonna have complaints since she ends up being the big bad of ff14 and her character has come out of nowhere but her character as itself is not important; just her representation of despair. I wasn’t expecting this from the final expansion but her representation of despair and the whole dynamis concept fits very well with the themes throughout ff14 so the final expansion of this saga being based around this is just perfect to me. I don’t think they could have come up with a better subject for this final expansion man. Also a bit irrelevant but during that last fight it’s revealed that dynamis is what Limit Break actually is; just thought it was cool that theres an explanation behind this game mechanic lol

i was in a call with my friend since we were playing through all the dungeons/trials together. before the fight started, i told him "waiting for it to turn into a yakuza boss fight". damn near called that

ultima thule onward was insane man. that place looks so f\*\*\*ing cool. close in the distance playing in the field after g'raha "dies" too

friend and i somehow beat the lv 90 trial on our first attempt. think the ppl we got matched up with were grinding that s\*\*\* out or something because they seemed to know exactly what to do

soken is insane man

Monk only having 2 charges of perfect balance is bullshit. I can’t get jiggly with this class

I think I’m around a third of the way through Endwalker (just cleared the first trial) and Ishikawa is working wonders with the Warrior of Light. I’ve always thought of XIV as Alphinaud and Alisaie’s story (and it still very much is), but the Warrior of Light is clearly being positioned as the main character of Endwalker and Ishikawa is drawing a crazy amount of emotional weight out of them (even more so than in the dark knight job quests and Shadowbringers).

These queues are absolute murder, especially when you get bumped out of the game for something on their end and you have to wait in another 4k+ queue

I get that the game is popular but this s*** is killing my vibe so hard

I was thinking we need 3 charges at least

One to open lunar, one for solar, and one more so we can actually use tornado kick regularly. Maybe it’s broken, idk anything about balancing tbh just think it’d be dope

Theres no way Soken is topping the music in some of these zones next expansion man goddamn

@redtruth you do the extreme trials yet? prob gonna do those tonight/this weekend.

friend and i almost spent an hour on the 83 trial in our roulette last night. our group was abysmal. one of the dps used their lb3 when the boss had like 30% hp

I completed the first ex trial, haven't tried 2nd one yet since I have been levelling crafters/gatherers

And yeah that first trial on duty roulette is a huge trap for new players, you guaranteed to spend at least half an hour in there

i was livid for the next hour after it. their unwavering positivity was pissing me off after the first 30 min

how you feeling about DRK at 90? trying to figure out what i wanna level after RPR. kinda wanna do SGE, but i feel like WHM is prob the easier choice, even though i'd have to start from lvl 1.

Feel pretty much the same as ShB tbh. I noticed that their dps during the opener is crazy high tho, even higher than ShB

GNB was my first at 90 and its self sustain feels pretty nice but I also feel like there's too much going on in the class now so I'm playing DRK again

real

my friend f***ing loves his GNB. any time he uses double down, he pops off

since you've said that, i'll prob stick with DRK when i try leveling a tank. it's just too cool to not use it. sucks they didn't go more stuff like the other tanks, but it's all pretty new to me anyways, so from someone new to tanking's POV, i doubt it'll make a difference.

DRK is a bit rough when levelling via dungeons but its my main so I love it regardless

That being said I just cleared the 2nd ex trial, gotta say I like it more than the first one cause the first one just disorients the f*** outta me lol

Haven't levelled GNB, DRK, or WAR yet but I love paladin this expac

yeah that's fair. i just remember spamming unleash over and over in the lower level dungeons

from what i gather, it seems like if someone knows how to do the first trial, it's dumb easy, since you can just follow them everywhere. i gotta do a bit more looking into the fights until i'm a bit more comfortable, but they don't seem overly difficult or anything.

also, out of curiousity, what're your thoughts on stuff like cactbot?
