I just saw a guy with the cloud mount on my server. HOW?
Japanese account on NA server? 🤔

Well, that's certainly possible but I've seen the guy around and he never had that mount. Needless to say... I was quite shocked to see it xD. Has a promotion in Japan started or something?

You may have just found a way to beat Tanaka at his own game, well done.
If it doesn't have a quest where you're given the choice to delete your character, we riot.

There's a JP 7-11 promotion. I think you need a JP account to use the codes though.
Did both of you just finish Nier at the same time or something?

As I said, "that's good enough", lol. Maybe next week, or the one after it; maybe...
Wow holy retcon. HW sure resolved that neatly. *cough*
I can't even buy it yet!

I have to imagine that that sort of resolution was planned from the beginning, since
as pointed out you were immediately rushed out of the room as soon as Nanamo collapsed without getting any chance to even approach her body,
When I played 2.55, I expected this exact scenario.
I'm sure it was planned out, and there were lots of hints that it was what it was. They lingered on a lot of details and made it a bit too obvious. It was clear there were multiple parties at play and that some were outplaying others. I didn't think she was actually assassinated. It seemed like a ruse. BUT, they played the entire thing out in such a melodramatic way and dragged it on so much that I feel any sort of "planned in advance" benefit is lost because they basically just took the player for a ride. I don't appreciate that.

Yeah, that's why I don't appreciate the 2.55 story as much as many people seem to.
The only part that didn't make sense is
not cluing in Raubahn, who ended up getting his arm hacked off because he wasn't in the know. Pretty terrible way to treat your trusted confidant.

Huh?
Nanamo wasn't in the know either. Lolorito was the one who pulled strings to make sure she wasn't killed, and he's no friend of Raubahn.
It wasn't resolved neatly at all, but that's less because the setup itself was bad (there were tons of clues in the optional NPC conversations) or because it felt like a retcon, and more because that particular questline was tucked away almost as filler in-between the interesting Heavensward stuff and by then you didn't really care about it (well, at least I didn't) and wanted to keep on with the expansion.
It felt unsatisfying and not particularly necessary after 2.55, especially because

it essentially reset the political situation in Ul'dah after making such a big deal out of it for several patches.
oh, it's been a while, my bad. I guess it does make sense.
What was Lolorito's plan again? Get her to step down and transfer power to their shadowy group? Honestly the power dynamics in MMOs seem silly when a band of adventurers are apparently going off to liberate and entire continent yet somehow we get muscled out of Ul'dah by a handful of guards.
He pretty much wanted to keep the status quo that he's basically got all attached to his money. So he allowed the zealot who wanted to usurp his financial power to fuck himself over while also sending a warning message to Nanamo on what happens if she threatens his power with governmental oversight. Basically a fantasy age Koch Brother.
Here is an alternate reading of the resolution of the Nanamo plot in Heavensward: there is some crazy secret surrounding it that hasn't been revealed yet. It is really strange how that scene played out. The heroes went to that house to question Nanamo's former maid about the poisoning, but Lolorito rushes in to intercept them before they can talk to her. Seemingly unprovoked, with no solid evidence against him, he confesses everything and offers up half his wealth as recompense. And right afterwards he walks right out the door with that maid in tow such that the heroes never had a chance to question her.
In short, it feels very possible that the maid knew a secret that was worth more than half of Lolorito's wealth. If that is true, then there is some deep secret behind Lolorito's actions that has yet to be revealed.

But that would be too much Ul'dah's politics to me, not to mention some characters and factions from Thanalan will get even more importance in Stormblood.
I don't know much about Limsa, but I wish there was something to show about the elementals in the Shroud. What are they, why do they seem to not care about outsiders, but neither Gridanians. Looks like there is some nasty business between then and humans that isn't talked about.
Or just anything else, really; to have one city state way richer in story than the others feels wrong.

Ul'dah Politics: Shadowy illuminati is here pulling the strings in the background, but they're super bad at it.
Limsa Politics: We're pirates, fuck politics!
Gridania Politics: What politics?
Ishgardian Politics: See the entire HW expac
It's absolutely true that even in 1.0, everyone got sidelined to further story arcs in Ul'dah. That's just what happens when you align yourself with sub-par citystates. Ul'dah the best.

I just started playing the game and I'm loving it. Woohoo. Would love to join a Gaf Guild, but haven't seen anyone with the tag on Moogle on EU. Hmm.
BTW the Guildwork site gives an Internal Error when I tried accessing it.
I see. I'll try searching for one on Moogle. Thanks for the help!

Guildwork's been a bit weird recently because the developer stopped working on the platform. In any case the site is for Ultros server GAF guild, so it wouldn't be very useful to you right now.
Moogle server might have a few decent guilds you can join.
No they didn't? All the voice actors changed for Heavensward, but since then they've been the same.
Yes they did! I was doing the quest where you return to Gridania and everyone's voice changed. Including Tarataru (she is having a third voice here). Or maybe there is a new delivery style.

Listen to Sir Ayemric Here

Aymeric's definitely didn't change in the two clips you linked.
I don't know anymore. I went back to all the cutscenes in the Inn and he sounds the same. I played all the game together so I guess my mind was playing tricks and only now I just realized that ayemric was changed.
I did 10 clears in the past week, parties are hit and miss but the ones that have restricted comps are usually the better parties.
My static pulled a couple randoms to gear up a person's alt.
It wasn't bad doing A11 now.

Aymeric was the one person whose voice has never actually changed.
2.55: just
I figured
having the WoL being poisoned too would've been neater than what we got. No lame reminders about how the protag's plot-power waxes and wanes in response to the script's needs. And since it obviously wouldn't be lethal, it better sets up the reveal about Nanamo not actually being dead.
Admittedly it murks up the 'let's-blame-the-WoL/scions' subplot and most of the narrative drive towards the player journeying to Ishgard, but just blaming Alphinaud could have worked while giving some cover to the Crystal Braves betraying him (and thus the WoL journeys with him, I dunno). Actually blaming the WoL always felt lame, anyhow; no one cares in-game and if only for survival's sake it's a charge that could never be carried through with.

that the maid was a long-lost claimant to the Ul'dahn throne, or knew the identity of such. Can't remember the exact line.
Yup, basically anyone who was introduced (or got voices, in the case of Haurchefant) towards the tail-end of the patch cycle has never been recast. Moenbryda, Aymeric, Lucia and Haurchefant.
If it speaks in Liam O'Brian's voice I'll resub

Ah no wonder. It is a really cool mount. I hope NA gets it soon ish.

Another round.
We got the last one with the maid/butler costumes so we'll probably get this one too.
