She did send me to a monster infested zone just to get her some damn tea leaves.
I think Tataru was trying to kill me.
i can't think of an item more important than tea leaves so she has her priorities straight tbh

So I'm not sure what happened but I had some kind of delay issue in a dungeon run earlier in the day that gave me the same effect as the new Ten Chi Jen scroll gauge ability where it allowed me to stack Ninjustu based on the amount I did and do all of them in sequence. Lol I guess I got a preview of the skill lol xD
This opinion feels biased...
xD
Sounds perfectly reasonable to me.
On another note why does machinist AF3 gear gotta look so bad.

You could watch it, I guess. It does kinda have spoilers for 3.X stuff, but in this context you probably wouldn't understand them.

Tataru is an angel!!!
as long as it's a non-voiced cutscene. Japanes tataru voice is too annoying, she deserves better

No one's going to mention the
Samurai blocking Susanoo's sword?
That's either a new quick time event thing like with Cruise Chaser or it's the Samurai using a cooldown that happens to look like a block in this situation and they added the sound effect in the video to make it look like he was blocking it.

Having studied all of that job's moves. If it was a cooldown, the only thing it would be is
Third Eye.

Getting very pleasant reminders of FFXI from this zone.
All Lalafells are evil.
We need to get Shantotto back to Eorzea...

Watching through the full trailer. All those FF6 enemy designs look to be captured wonderfully in a 3D setting.
In a heartbeat. TaruTaru were pretty awesome.
do you really want this ... abomination back ?

Is there a live letter on Sunday for E3?
I was curious about this myself.
I wonder if they're going to add extra moments in cinematics depending on what class you are. There was a bit in there that was straight from the first CG trailer but as an in game cutscene. That scene really wouldn't work unless you were playing monk. If I recall correctly heavensward did something similar if you were playing Dragoon.

bad gameplay lol
EDIT: Never mind!

It's fine. Definitely the least spoilery of the Stormblood stuff.
Not on Ultros but...what zone are you in?
IIRC Yoshida said in an interview months ago that Stormblood would feature
cutscenes that are slightly different depending on your job
SB launch trailer spoilers
the 2 reasons why i firmly believe Yshtola is not dead is :
1) she is THE poster child of FF14 in Japan right now ( sorry, Tataru fans )
Killing her off would be like Pokemon killing Pikachu off .
so unless yoshida decided he wanted to Go the GOT route i don't see it happening .
2 they went out of their way to let us know she is draining her own life force to see .
Killing her off without ever expanding on that point or have her suffer any of the consequences of it before getting offed would make little sense .
My guess : she is just super KO'ed .

Slycer over on BlueGartr translated an interview, and right off the bat it gets interesting.
Honestly not the direction I expected--I assumed they'd be doing things to make the turtle tank I AM A TANK I AM IN TANK STANCE dudes feel more justified in camping out, not trying to prod them to go back and forth.
Also actual speaking of words about WTF they did to MCH:
Honestly I still fall into the old system looking more confusing but in practice being relatively streamlined (all of our stuff lined up in 30 second chunks! Hawk's Eye was never confusing to use because is on the same CD as Rapid Fire and Wildfire! It was a ton of info at once, but it was relatively simple in practice.) I also thought a large part of the 'boring' deadzone between wildfires worked as a counter-balance to the insane DDR stuff, vs Bard's desynced timers making things feel like perpetual adjustment. The Overheat system is a lot more streamlined up front, but seems like it's going to be a bitch to use optimally, and given that it's the literal only personal CD-style buff MCH has, not getting the hang of Overheat is going to be a much bigger deal than popping B4B desynced from Wildfire.

After reading that part I am not sure how this is any different from how it is now.

In WAR case is very clear, switching stances has a clear penalty (half the bar loss), so it's made in a way, that when you are MTing you stay on defence stance and maybe switch in certain moments, in contrast of how much stance switching you could make with WAR. Deliverance -> change to Defiance for Inner Beast/Equilibrium -> go back to Deliverance and etc.
Why would you constantly stance dance with WAR now when MTing?
And now all 3 tanks has proper DPS modes, I guess.
the song made for the extreme version pre ultimate is baller as well

although i must admit , i am still looking for a song that encapsulates the " your so fucked " feeling as well as the white raven Theme in T9 did .

He seems to be saying if there's no use for the gauge in tank stance, people will be motivated to toggle so they stop having this full bar indicating they're wasting damage sitting in tank stance 80+% of the time.
I think their aim is just a visual representation of how much overkill that much time in tank stance really is? No idea if they've succeeded, but if the goal is to encourage MTs to stance dance more, we're probably not looking at a mythical raid tier of tight healing checks which has been one of the frontline defenses for WHM
As long as the battles are structured the way they are, there will be an expectation on healers to contribute to DPS for speedier clears. Otherwise they're just sitting around doing nothing of value for the group. If the healers had to be constantly on it healing, then we'd have a different story.
It breaks a few different ways, but in dungeon content it gets weird because there's fundamentally nothing else to do. Much like it's frustrating if a tank does the bare minimum to maintain threat or a DPS afks mid-pull to auto, it's aggravating to be in a situation where your dungeon healer has run out of things to heal and, due to a desire to not DPS, is opting to do nothing and/or hop in circles. It's less "how dare the healer not want to DPS!" and more "Wow, watching this person actively not contribute can be aggravating." The complaints tend to not arise if something is so horribly out of wack the healer is spending every GCD healbombing. As with most things, it feels like a design problem that the dev shouldn't push off as a player problem. I don't support harassing people over it, but I've been frustrated enough to prefer queuing dungeons on healer to avoid the frustration.
So, I bought a 60 day time card last month and it's been largely wasted. Left off after the first month of the ARR relaunch with a level 50 Paladin, I'm trying to do the Heavensward story, but I got to the first mandatory dungeon, and I haven't been able to progess any further. I either get a group that's a revolving door of people leaving and joining never having a full group or the one time I did get a full group, we all died on literally the enemies right in front of the beginning.. lol.
Sounds like everyone needs to come over to Cerberus because I haven't had anywhere close to the hell of grouping problems people have described here today haha.
I've never had this problem either and I'm on Ultros.

The only time I haven't been able to find a group through Duty Finder is when I tried to queue for Coil turns by myself.
Well, I agree with that. I would be ecstatic if I had more to do as a healer in this game. I've lamented that fact many times before, and about how older MMOs were much better in this respect, get off my lawn, etc. I just don't like the attitude some people have. I'll personally happily DPS if I have no healing to do, but you know, that's a choice I've made, because I want to be as useful as possible, and make things go as smoothly as possible.
I've had problems with filling duties before, particularly during off times. Getting queues for LotA while trying to do my relic was like an hour plus if I could find a group at all. That's sort of expected in a game with this much content I guess. Game probably could use a 24-man raid roulette for old raid to help fill those up.
I was more talking about people abandoning and being shitty. Such a non issue on my server thankfully. Community has been a real welcoming and nice group. It was a pleasant surprise.

Chocobo racing is OK really passive MGP.
And it's this weird spot of in the larger scheme of things I don't care if healers DPS or not. I don't pay their sub, I've raided with minimal or no DPS healers and generally not cared as long as it felt like they were keeping busy with whatever, but for the boring grindy stuff I just want to get in and out as efficiently as possible and ideally want to be matched up with other people with the same goal. Struggling new players don't bother me, but Netflix /follow SCHs drove me up a tree, so I ended up just removing the issue from concern. It's sort of bordering on the point where it'd be nice if they did add some kind of speedrun checkbox to DF to let players self-segregate the groups a little. Remove the pressure from people who don't want it, and prevent the awkward occasional run-in with territorial DPS who want healers to focus solely on healing.
Yoshida's general comment about not wanting people to feel pressured always reminds me of his explanation for why he initially pushed back against the concept of a Hall of the Intermediate:
I get that he's deeply concerned about not making people feel bad, but there's always a massive disconnect between the relative rigidity of the game they're making and the "all choices are valid!" approach they apparently want players to adopt.
