Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers |OT| First World Problems
- Thread starter Dark Knight

Eden was fantastic. The first fight wasn't too interesting but they rarely are and the other 3 more than made up for it.
Looking forward to running these a few more times in the coming weeks and also to seeing what the savage versions are like. I've never even attempted savage but I might actually change that this time around.

It's definitely an adjustment but having recently gone back and watched some stuff from ARR I forgot just how much of a improvement the new voice actors are.
Honestly, the best part of Shadowbringers has just been how extremely extra the OST has been.
If you're a FFVIII fan, your time has come.
aaaaaaa
And yet it's still probably the most interesting first fight in any NM raid in this game
New Gunbreaker sounds are a mixed bag.
I don't mind the new Gnashing Fang combo sounds.
But the Solid Barrel combo now sounds really muted, like you're not even slicing anymore.

I sent a request via mog in-game and it popped up a minute after, probably due to new patch
For anyone interested, here's new vs old Gunbreaker Solid Barrel combo.
The gunshot at yhe end being gone reaaly hurts. Hope they revert.

The relic quests were designed to be massive timesinks, even after heavy nerfs the Zeta / ARR and Anima / HW will take many, many hours of grinding. Save it for when you're bored and only if you really fancy a glamour.
The first few steps of the ARR relics are fairly painless though, and will unlock a title for each job + 2 trials. It involves killing a bunch of beast tribes, melding an item you can buy on the MB, a few dungeons and the 3 first HM trials.
Absolutely do not do it for stats though.
Eden was pretty fun. Nothing to hard, which is fine since I'll be running the fights dozens of times for rolls. The music is good and the callbacks to VIII is always welcome.
In between grinding out Eden, I still need to learn Innocence EX for accessories. Gonna try to actually pug savage for the first time once it releases.

Finally managed to create a character on Ultros server. Now I need to just join the guild and everything should be all good.
I enjoyed all of Eden, but I also feel like E1 and E2 were the strong points, and E3/4 were the weak points. Felt really strange having the raid start out really strong and end kind of weak.
I think it's better personally. I did the MSQ with GNB and the slicing sound is legitimately the same with slight shift in tune and it is extremely grating after a while. It sounds great as a first impression but after doing it thousands of time I wanted to mute it. They don't even sound chunky or anything, just extremely high pitched sounds and Gunbreaker as a whole really defeated the purpose of the "'gun" in gunbreaker anyway
How is the Machinist and BLM rotations looking in comparison to Dancer which I assume is by far the easiest and what I'm leveling now.
And then there's also the doman restoration turn ins, lol.
Eden was a hell of a lot of fun, ended up doing them all 2-3 times. Really wanted to get my body piece. Looks like next week will be hands + 2 accessories.
I think I just played with a healer bot in Dohn Mheg. They were using a 290 weapon and kept spamming medica and confession the whole dungeon. Not 1 dps ability used.
In terms of difficulty? I think MCH is a pretty easy job to do well with. As long as you use Drill and Hot Shot/Air Anchor on cooldown, it's pretty flexible. Just spend your heat when you've got a free moment and go to town. BLM I have no experience with personally, but my understanding is they're now even more mobile than before, which should further ease the difficulty of the job.
god damn i cant take any more minute of stormblood... I go from battling dragons to liberating not-china. wtf is this story???
I hope SE reconsider the audio. It's literally killing my ability to enjoy GNB; audio is a BIG deal for me.
For now, I'll tank content as DRK only. Also one thing lead to another and I'm in a static as a SAM so hopefully that turns out good.
plus side, I'm absolutely in love with the blm changes to enochian. I hated fighting with the duration timer.
Damn, this Eden raid fuckin' slaps.
All cleared, and it was all fun. E3N was a little disappointing, but man, E4N was great.

As a tank I found it extremely simple as long as you understand each mechanic. I could see how it could throw a lot of DF people off though, it's quite an endurance battle with some less than obvious cues and attack patterns. Definitely a boss you need to die to at least once or twice before you start to understand.
Lol
So Lamia is congested but Ultros is standard now?
Is there any room in the Era FC? I'm considering moving.

It should drop dyable 470 versions of the gear from the normal mode raid. E2N will drop the tomestone you can use to buy the tomestone weapon. E12S will drop weapons. Probably 475 or 480.
Yeah I tried with my friends earlier and we wiped like 5 times without a clear. I got my clear/loot earlier in the day but still it can be pretty rough.
Yeah eventually I got it down pretty well. I felt bad for the Black Mages though.
agreed, though wish we had a dash or something like the other 2 rdps, but your right on that one.
As someone who just finished that a couple days, it does pick up quite a bit story wise, though the formula is still a bit frustratingly the same (lots of story, teleporting, like 2 actual quests, dungeon / trial). But even with that, it's still a lot more enjoyable.
