I can either play more P5 tonight, or play a bit of FFXIV. I'm not sure if I should be dividing my resources or just finishing P5 once and for all before moving on. GAF please help me make tough decisions.
Just focus on Persona 5 until you finish it and stop fretting over FF XIV.
 
So how is the leveling experience for this game when starting from scratch? Is it super grindy and fetch questy?
Grindy, not at all, fetch questy yeah a bit. The game's main quest and daily roulletes will get you to level cap mostly painlessly, but you'll have to play errand boy from time to time.

It seems people are expecting a benchmark to come with the live letter this Friday.

I can't wait to see how much lower my desktop can score

So when I was going through the main story for HW back in the day, I left some lower level quests undone to do on alt jobs since I was overleveled on SMN for them.

Well, I decided to tackle some of them yesterday for MCH thinking there were only a few.

Damn. I haven't seen my map throw up quest markers like that in a long time. Three hours in Western Coerthas later and I finished them all up.

Damn I am going to miss Ishgarde and that music. :(
 
Keep Faust behind the boss for the scapline before moving him to where you wanna kill him (Southwest corner most of the tine, Southeast corner if DPS is really bad.)

That's the only other thing you need to know really.

Thanks for the tip!

ARR Relic complete!

Mind of mixed on the glow, might buy the replica of the step down to glam. Still love the look of it though. Way better than that fugly final anima for Bard.

Nah, IMO this one looks too basic. The bard anima looks really cool even if it is super anime and I'd gladly take it over this one. Just my opinion of course but the Old relics usually destroy the animas, just not the case with this one for me. I've only done one ARR relic and that was for my main blm at the time. Lilith rod is amazing and I've glammed it over Kaladanda lux now.

Too many bards in our FC. Need to diversify. =P
Not enough Barda you mean!

You're not wearing a Bard hat? Blasphemy I tell you! A real Bard would be wearing a Bard hat of some fashion.

Only bard hat worth wearing is Amon's hat. I decided to wear glasses myself to really embrace my pretentious Ishgardian giraffe side.
You must be on of those new gen hipster Bards who like to pretend to look the part without going all the way. Back in my day you weren't consider a Bard if you were not wearing a Bard hat because at that point you might as well be an Archer with an Harp.

With the Primal and Aether servers moving on May 15 does that mean we'll all be able to do cross server party finder?

No; there's essentially no functional changes to how the servers interact, it's just changing the physical server locations which will have some impact to latency and hopefully end Level3's periodic ruining of all our lives.

I'm trying to step my game up with Bard. Been looking up and trying different openers and watching some YouTube videos on maxing dps. Prior to looking at videos, I went to try to down the A12s training dummy. I did it with about 6 seconds left (ilvl 265). Just wanting to get better just cause.

On another note, I really hope the upcoming live letter delves into detail about Stormblood and not just reiterating stuff we already know. Give me some new job actions or battle system overhaul information.

It'll be a shitty Q&A like at Pax I am sure.

The original notification for the Live Letter explicitly said no battle system stuff will be in it, wait until another one in May. And given how inaccurate the community sourced google doc ended up being leading in to HW, get hype for everyone having to figure everything out from tooltips on day 1.

Well, dang! Oh well, I'm patient so I can wait. Thanks!

Dark Knights DRG Debuff should be real.

Your own DoTs not showing up on the target even if they're applied because there's a hardcap on how many DoTs can be displayed despite having other DoTs turned off is such a massive problem I can't believe it hasn't been fixed.
 
As Summoner I'm having fun any time I'm not casting Bio, Miasma, or Bio II.

Maybe in SB.

If they are changing a bunch of UI stuff they definitely should be looking at this.

They'll do nothing interesting with pets. At most they'll rebalance their skills so that you're not using a ranged pet 90% of the time. I wouldn't be surprised if they removed or neutered pet skills, as they've already said they don't want to make pet management any more difficult. New egis are going to be purely cosmetic.

I wouldn't mind if they kept going with the Summoner channeling Primal skills theme in the future. I always liked what they did with Yuna in Dissidia for example.

I guess I'll have to look that up since I never played the release that had Yuna in it.

I've done a couple leveling dungeons with my DRK and each one was kind of a struggle. The healer in each case was an AST, so is DRK just sort of squishy or is AST kind of a slow healer at first?

I downloaded the game again, the last time I played was during my first month with the game when it released. I have a level 50 Paladin and I'm completely lost. Not sure what quests I should be doing. I had finished the game's base storyline I guess? I also did the level 50 Paladin quest. Not sure where to go from there.

Both jobs are perfectly fine.

New DRKs getting overwhelmed by their many buttons can appear squishy when they forget to use their defensive CDs or can't manage Darkside.

This is pretty funny. People in Western Thanalan are really pissed over a S Rank Hunt being GAFfed. One player told whoever it was that GAFfed the hunt that they should kill themselves. Hunts are serious business.

Because the crop hid the katana, they plastered the full figure on the side just to make sure you realize the evil knight dude was a samurai.

they caught on to pre-ordering stuff and cancelling so just grab a digital FFXIV 60-day time card

Well I preordered Stormblood on Amazon, cancelled it, and re-preordered it, so I better get my fucking cloud.
