You, sir, are a blight.
Probably.
Nono, what needs to happen is they need to start customizing the MCH lunchbox to the gun. Bards get custom quivers and arrows for their bows (the Gordian arrows glow and dye it is amazing), we just get by with the one lunchbox for everything.
Didn't get a good look at the Midas Axe, but it has a much nicer shape than the Gordian Axe. Actually would be kinda hype to get it this time around. XD
.....unless parry. D:
Hmm, that really doesn't look nice. They use to integrate the X and Y into the actual compass, now it's sitting outside and below, with the tenths place in subscript?
That's some placeholder UI design right there, folks.
Imagine having a tiny manipulator hanging on your belt with your Gordian gun.
That would actually be kind of neat.
Gauss barrel for the harp too, floating off in distance.
That flank Chaos Thrust makes me want to die.
To put it mildly, A3 and A4 make Coil look easy in retrospect.
Some Dragoons just want to see the world burn.
There's still a weekly lockout on loot, so yeah it's still more beneficial to run with only a handful of the same people. You can pug the fights, however, but your mileage will vary on that one for sure. Cooperation has never been the issue, I don't think.
You can, on the other hand, DF Alex normal and get the full story experience.
You only have to do Savage if you want to do Savage, and for that you're better off with a set group for the hard fights. Come the 23rd maybe they'll hit it with The SCoB nerfbat and it'll be random able, but until then nah. It's possible to PUG but you're not rolling in blind and not getting laughed out of any group trying to clear right now since there's a lot to learn.

Just slapping the cooldown on it, in numbers, is all I wanted out of it!

Astrologian card holder thing? I actually never knew the purpose of that thing. xD I always thought it was a sword sheathe at first. /dumb Can we actually see the cards in the holster?
I know. My first post was more just commenting on the new display (...unless I'm seriously blind on what the GCD has looked like for so long) for the GCDs there. Was just responding to the other post saying the numerical timer is all I wanted on the icons. Two different things!
Oh wow, I thought the tiny numbers to the bottom left was the cooldown. I forgot that was the mana/TP cost.
That makes the change to the countdown timer even more puzzling... Was expecting them to slap a cooldown NUMBER on the button or something. I thought that was the whole thing people were requesting in the first place.

Those might show up on longer CD's, the ones in that screenshot above are just your standard 2.5s rotation buttons. It seems kind of redundant to slap (more) numbers on those.
It's not just the number being visible, they made the actual pie chart/clockface more visible. Compare the two:
Current:
New:
This is better assuming it's the same on cooldowns--consider Potion on a cooldown monitoring bar out of the corner of your eye. As is it is it looks like it's up for the last few seconds of its cooldown (same with longer CDs like BV or even untraited Raging). New version: Circle lit up = cannot push button. Square lit up = can push button. This without needing to enable cooldown timer numbers if you don't want to.

Right ... and I don't think the new one looks that good compared to the old one was my original point. It stands out more but looks kind of weird to see the circle-timer across every single GCD.
I do like it for actual cooldowns I think since it has a more obvious at-a-glance indicator if button is usable or not but it makes GCDs look super busy here.
That'll be the thing on the actual cooldowns, the screenshot just shows a bunch of GCDs on cooldown. Which is why I think it looks weird. Individually they're fine but a bunch of short-GCDs all with that seems kind of ugly to me at a glance. Ideally, I'd like this timer (with the number!) on actual cooldowns but leaving the old version for regular GCDs. Just seems less busy that way to me.
There should be cooldown numbers on abilities. You have to go find footage of YoshiP's BLM doing SSS from the LL but pretty sure they're there.

Man, I actually want to PvP in The Feast just for the music alone.
<3 also for dat new arrangement for Lost City of Amdapor City Hard~
Or someone in the FC could get the track for the Orchestrion and save me the trouble.

Yeah. They should've made it a little pouch or something, since AST are just pulling cards out randomly anyway. lol
Fun part is DRK can't even practice maximizing potential unless their dummy starts hitting back. They can't do real Grit/tank stance practice at all.
IS FRAY BACK?
I could have sworn that the team also mentioned along with the new clock image that there would be an option to have the numerical countdown as well, but you would need to opt in to it.
heh
Only if I have to
save Minfilia again. Otherwise it fits--both are kind of annoying order givers who routinely occupy the most boring parts of the story.
I'm sure that one will sit in the pocket for a rainy day. We still have the dragonsong war to wrap up and then an empire to beat back.
Who?
