Well, killing little kid after we killed all adults who raised and cared about him was surprisingly sad, ffxiv bros

Its not a power that Hydaelyn would teach you.

Its only good because it is over. If we came back all those goodbyes would lose meaning.

How's the new EX? Easy to go in blind like Innocence and Ruby?

I stay subbed for long periods.

aside from being a post moogle, we really only have Eden as far as business in the first. I could see us having business is the Crystal Tower in the future, but Norvrandt is gonna be just fine for now

Mental canon, pay it no heed.

Harder than Hades

Parallels between Elidibus and the Exarch

Hades only had like 1 mechanic that was hard, which becomes a solved formula with one waymark.

I've been subbed since I started in 4.5. I'm a landowner cuck though and leader of an FC so I can't unsub.

I'd put it between Hades and Titania, which makes it the second hardest EX trial in ShB

>Exaflares
>hard
lol wut

Westward ho!
Six point oh!

I didn't play after 3.1 cause I had no one to play with but a bunch of IRL friends picked the game up near the end of Stormblood so I came back for 5.0

>thinking we're going west and not east when Zenos, Fandaniel and the drill going to the center of the earth to awaken The Sound are all to the east

GIVE ME YOUR HAT

VERY cool

We go back to pity fuck stew boi after that embarrassment of a confession. Like that fucking bitch say he's a boy in a mans body, honey your eggs are drying up. YOU NEED TO FUCK RN

>making a kid the emissary of your people then negging him into being a child sacrifice
Emet Selch was lying to us about their noble nature.

Someone said that this is supposed to mirror a certain XIV cover art but I can't seem to find it. It was also hype as fuck and figuring out that we needed to do a LIMIT BREAK CLASH during the trial put that shit so far over the top that I have no idea how they'll ever top or even match this.

The only actual thing to worry about was hoping no one had bad enough packet loss that they get double tapped by Universal Manipulation's knockback and get fucking ejected from the room

Yes.

Elidibus likely volunteered

What was the line that Exarch mirrored that Elidibus had said earlier in the patch?

>letting a child volunteer to die

I enjoyed Lady Chai more than most other characters this expansion. Her and Alphi saying goodbye hit me harder than it should of. Gonna miss her.

>Only one dungeon per patch means we'll never get Twinning (Hard)
Extra dungeons are kinda whatever in the long run but it's a shame. A lot of the Hard mode dungeons were my favorites.

They direly need to increase the rewards for Unreal
Considering how highly tuned it is I really don't feel like doing it twice a week for a chance of getting like 10 tokens out of the hundreds needed

Can someone help me understand what the fuck Elidibus and Zodiark are supposed to be? They called him a Primal, but so is Zodiark, but Elidibus was his heart? What? I don't get it.

Children are always the ones that jump head first into shit user. Thats why Alisaie is a realistic character.

Though I doubt Elidibus was a child when the great REEEEE happened

I'll take unreal trials and crafter content over another dungeon which was always boring after the first week

See I saw that one but it just doesn't seem similar enough for it to be a direct reference.

did you guys honestly cry? lmfao

>easier than it was in 2.4
>highly tuned

Elidibus' body was used to platform summon Zodiark. His soul was not consumed in it; it wandered and found a purpose after he bodyjacked the Warrior of Light and discovered a source of power in mankind's hope that allowed him to fulfill his mission

I didn't see him. Which part?

>4 Tanks, 4 Melee
>3 Healers, 3 Ranged, 3 Casters (BLU is not a job)
>Puppeteer and Beastmaster have both been limited jobbed
>Thief, Necromancer, and Berserker have been relegated to "alt universe" jobs
>Geomancer and Time Mage have both been hinted at

Who is ready for 6.0 to be the caster expac? Mages rise the fuck up.

Zodiark is a primal and Elidbus was the child sacrifice needed to power him. Elidibus and Zodiark are one and the same.

And an adult should have stopped him. Like those Amaroutines that tell you to go home because its getting late. Elidibus was definitely a child because he's shorter than Lahabrea in the flashback and in his final form.

theres a small chance he'll be summoned on the side completely and utterly confused

Elidibus was used to summon Zodiark just like Ysale/Ryne used their own bodies to channel Shiva
At some point when it was clear that Zodiark wasn't the savior it was cracked up to be, Elidibus basically got summoned back out as a primal of Hope

Well, after returning to his true form he became a kid

Only for a brief moment when Seto got to meet his bro again.

>>easier than it was in 2.4
You haven't cleared it
The mechanics are braindead but her raidwide spam requires a shitton of healing and she can crit tanks in Bow stance for over 60k per hit

They WERE one and the same.
Elidibus removed himself from Zodiark because he tried to appease both sides of the ascian civil war. It didn't work. Now theres a heartless Zodiark sitting on the moon waiting for, lets say, a renegade ascian to slap a retarded bloodthirsty prince into.

Not gonna lie. The whole "But you are not here to see it" line put a lump in my throat. He died alone and scared.

I certainly think it's strange to put all of that on kid but we know that there's been children who were called to be WoLs. It's not like the end of the world is going to wait until you're an adult after all.

Igeyhorm was also short than Lahabrea.

Oh god dammit

He was part of ruling council, they could treat him like a kid in everyday live, not when important decisions mattered. Or he wouldn't be in council in the first place

I pay for the 6-month sub package and let it take the money out of my account whenever it comes up

I hadn't played in 18 months until a couple of weeks ago, and had my sub running the entire time

So is that kid from the warring triad quest an ascian or just a citizen of amarout?

Lmao they fucking lied about coincounter. Some anons posted official dev comments here saying the boss does have its attacks telegraphed now but it's the kind of that only appears just before the cast finishes.
I tried it just now and they appear immediately when he begins casting.
So much for that.

I think him seeming childlike at the end was more symbolic than anything

childhood innocence is a good place to look for hope. Kids do a lot of stupid shit they think is for the greater good. I do not believe for a second that Elidibus understood the gravity of what he was volunteering for, but if the fate of the world is on the line and you can save it by sacrificing a child, well...

I know it's been a while but you can literally talk to the kid and he'll explain it again
He's a failed WoL because the 13th shard went kaput from too much darkness before he could do any WoL shit, Elidibus picked him up for whatever reason so he's like one of the lesser Ascians

nowhere yet, they usually reveal them in a dev blog post or at fanfes

I do in fact have one of those achievements.

Neither, he was a WoL from the 13th shard.

Amano is a fucking god

Nice blog
