As much as I like Akihiko Yoshida, I feel like a lot of the racial redesigns taken from XI were a bit of a downgrade. They're become a bit too human looking now, in my opinion .Just missing a little personality compared to before. On the other hand, he made female Galka... or whatever they're called now look fantastic, so points for that. Either way, it amuses me just how much the models and equipment lay waste to every other entry in this genre, of course that was the matter of it with XI, as well.
I'm fuddling with what I want to do and how I want to gear across my three jobs, now. I tried taking my now latent WHM to Crystal Tower for a change of pace, and did an Ultima after. I don't think I enjoy it anymore, after so many years I feel like I'm soured on vanilla healing. I'd probably enjoy Scholar but I won't dare to try it without sitting at my desktop with a Naga which I don't want to do. My Bard is dumb as a sack of bricks to DPS on, but I still enjoy it from a utility perspective, but even though it's geared out I'm. I'm devoting most of my playtime to my new(ish) Monk, though. Monk I feel like they really, really nailed. It's such a ton of fun, probably one of the most rewarding and entertaining DPS I have tried in an MMO. Once you get past the curve it's hard to play anything else, and the curve really isn't that bad once the muscle memory kicks in.
Finished a Coil run earlier, first time since stopping before, was fun, Coil is al;ways good content... Still gotta try out the new Primal modes.
