Don't care, bagpipes for main hand
Beat the game, wooooo.
Really enjoyed the last few encounters, though the pressure to skip the cutscenes was annoying so I just watched them in my room afterwards. Last few bosses were really cool.
This might be one of the few games that says "but the adventure had only just begun!" and actually means it. I tele'd over to Mor Dhona afterword and CHRIST that's a lot of blue quests.
on to heavensward I guess, I really wanna try out DRK and MCH

Congratulations!
Wait, did you beat the game or did you BEAT the game?
There is a TON of story to do after Praetorium before you get to Heavensward.
I saw credits roll, so just the base game.
I just looked up what I have to beat on the subreddit catching up thread.
The first staff roll, but certainly not the last!
What ever happened to the "Enforcer" job or whatever the older ones were on that list ages ago? I think it was right before Dalamud crashing, or is that all out the window now? I'd think not, since back then I think there were also story board sequences that showed some dragons attacking Ishgard.
Its probably in the same place as the gunner job based in limsa
There were quite a few unused classes in the 1.x files that never turned up. Arcanist eventually released, Bard became an Archer job, and Musketeer probably mutated into Machinist, but none of the others have been released or announced, and most of the new classes we've gotten (ROG/NIN, DRK, AST, probably RDM) weren't in the 1.x files.

Congrats!
I started playing recently after finishing 2.0 when the game first came out, and man, I am sorry to tell you that you have literally 40 hours of content until Heavensward. That's just the story quest, nothing else. It's really a bummer and I hope they rethink that approach for the next expansion. There are some awesome fights in there and a couple new dungeons that are great, but the amount of nonsense fetch quest crap in between is staggering. I just want to encourage you to get through it because Heavensward is legitimately GREAT, it's so worth it.
On that note, I beat 3.0 last night and really loved this expansion overall. The new environments are great and feel so Final Fantasy. The music is top notch, the story so much better than Realm Reborn, and the last boss in particular was so amazing!
I also can't believe how much content there is after finishing the Heavensward quest. About how much more content (in terms of hours played) do I have left? I won't be grinding any raids, just experiencing the story and all dungeons/primals at least beaten once.
Doing the 2.0 patch stuff before heavensward can be a slog, since there was a lot of busywork back then. They didn't find their groove until around 2.4-2.5
Though I don't know how they'll do it this time. The Heavensward post game story has been just as good, if not better than the expansion stuff. It would be a real shame if you missed any of it going into the next expansion.

There's currently about 36 post HW msq (ARR had 100), 2 trials outside MSQ, 8 dungeons, 2 24 man raids, and 12 8 man raids.

After too many hours inside PotD, doing those stupid moogles' chores and afkrafting over 500 collectables...
...and I still can't pick a main dps job.
I should just go bard.
You have a worse case of altitis than me.
One of the reasons I'm looking forward to Stormblood is because I get to take one job to 70 and focus on that for a long while hopefully instead of being stuck deciding which max level job I have that I should play.
So about GC Squadrons
Can you fish for specific NPCs? Like for example if I want the Miqo'te GLA, I do DoH challenge log and hope RNG rolls her for me? Or are there some extra conditions?
Are there any specific race/class compositions you should be aiming for or are bonuses completely random?

Yeah you can try fishing for them once you know where they come from. The pool of recruits is pretty big though and you can get the same recruit application right after dismissing it so it might just be better to settle for any miqote and then use the defense book to respec it. If you fish though, pop the buff that increases the chance of getting a recruit to minimize the chance of not getting anybody.
Affinities and chemistry are random, but since you can't respec race I'd suggest you try to get at least 1 recruit from each race. It's also a good idea to not have multiples of the same class so you have more options when trying to meet the min reqs for a mission. Sometimes you're short by a few points and that's when having a diverse squad helps since there's slight variances between classes in the same role (gladiator has slightly more tactical than marauder, while marauder has slightly more physical to compensate for his lower tactical).

It will last maybe 6 months before everything is 70.
I'm working on getting everything to 60 now, too.
Holy shit, Paladin is SUFFERING. Every time I play it, I just want to fall asleep. But I must get to 60.
Then loldrg, lolbrd, lolwhm, SMN/SCH, MCH, AST.
Then crafting forever. Forever.

Cleared a12 again and got enough gears for the gloves. Going to do some more alexander runs to see if I can get the jewelery next week. My fc's first run was hell but our second run went better.

Yeah, those first couple patches are a bit of a pain but at least the story starts to pick up again after a while. I'd suggest mixing it in with the *large* number of new dungeons you just unlocked that you'll want anyway to get 50 roulette.
No idea how they'll approach it for HW but at least all the patch content in 3.x has been really solid story-wise. Hell, you basically need through to 3.3 to actually finish the HW plot so wouldn't be surprised if they reject people to do that, and then it rolls on towards Stormblood. It's a really tricky situation and they're sure to piss some folks off whatever they do (always the case in an MMO I guess). But I can't really see an alternative to making people play earlier content that doesn't leave them hopelessly confused regarding the game, the story and how to play their class. Maybe fix some of the 2.X stuff to streamline entry to HW at least.
Gorgeous. I wanna build team Au Ra and a Diversity Squad.
Kumokiri already joined the cause.
EDIT: WT rewards this week... lmao

Check your emails if you signed up for the waiting list for the Encyclopedia Eorzea. I just got an email with an unique link to purchase it. Just got my order in! Couldn't add any additional items to the order though.
Was just about to post it! Link was super convenient since it adds it to your cart and everything haha. Bummer about late November shipping though. That probably means I won't have it until December.
And they still don't have those red fan fest/jp WAR shirts up yet.
I tried to use one of those sites that let you buy something off jp stores and ship it to you, but its even sold out on the JP SE store.BossDarkseid

The lorebook remains incredible...answers a few queries and I'm only like 25 pages in.
Also thank you for tanking tips the other day! I haven't done much (been busy) but doing even Satasha was quite fun, esp when the other dps realized I was a first timer Tank. I try to pull what I feel both comfortable with and that the team/healer can cope with. If that means it takes a little longer I don't mind >_>

Random question, but I just started playing a while ago on the PS4 and I really enjoy it. Chat can be a real pain though, so can you just a regular USB keyboard and connect it to the PS4 just to type when chatting? Like would this cheap logitech one work? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003ELVLKU/?tag=neogaf0e-20

Yes, you can.
Same thing in Sophia when I was learning. Made it so much harder to figure out what was next when you're skipping mechanics left and right. Frustrating xD
On the topic of A11s, we got to 50 something percent yesterday. Our second or third time in there. So solid progress! Should be able to clear maybe in a week or two. Bit longer than I would have hoped buuuut
Couldn't sleep so thought I would spend some time reading up on Ninja rotations and openers...
This was a bad idea and now my head hurts.
On the bright side the skills I currently have available I was pretty much using in the correct way (only lvl 44), tough with the latency of playing on a American server from the UK it looks like I may have to consider Shuriken over Raiton.

Haven't gotten that far in the fight yet but pretty sure you can't hit the energy fields.
I'm 5 days into the trial and have both pugilist and rogue to 16. Looks like I'm about out of trial content. Have to make a decision to buy or not.
Been enjoying it enough as a solo game I think I may just do it. Unfortunately it doesn't look like greenman gaming has it on sale for $27 anymore. Only choice is to order a physical disk from Amazon for $27. For some reason all the digital downloads of the bundle are $60 when the boxed is $27. It's mind boggling. Anything I'm missing?

Huh? I have some good news for you the trial now lets you go all the way up to level 35 so you should still have plenty of content left.
Having not long finished the free trial myself I would highly recommended taking the rogue all the way to 35 if you are enjoying the class, as it has by far the best and most engaging story of all the guild quests.
Plenty of Main line story quests to do as you can do those all the way up to level 35 as well.
After that if you still have time left give a tank and a healer class a go they are also a lot of fun.
Edit: Also if you do decide to go for it and would like a reference code for some bonus items please let me know.

I'm not surprised that they didn't do anything for World of Final Fantasy. To me, for the masses, SE didn't really market it as much. They'll do something for FFXV for sure though.
plus we all know that crossover budget went to developing the piassa house that we are going to get
You remember what I said in game, right?
They should turn the FF15 car into a cardboard car costume like this.
All the lalas would wear it.
Ah thanks!!
The official FAQ still seems to say level 20. Or at least I think I was looking at the official FAQ. Still plenty of restrictions around grouping and market use, etc. I went ahead and bought the game from Amazon. Should get here in a day or two.
Basically changing class is as easy as accepting a new job right? Or best to create a new char?
For being so kind answering a newbies questions I'm more than happy to use a ref code if it lets me plug it in during the account upgrade.
