I haven't played this game since December and I'm thinking of coming back now that there is content. What server is GAF on now and am I still able to migrate servers? Also how is the economy? Is everyone super rich and items very expensive or are they cheap? Thanks.

Wow I wonder if they'll actually tie dreams into "the echo" and the storyline in general. Would be nice.

EDIT: They probably wont really focus on actual story until Dalamud changes the entire planet.

Well, you could have an interesting point for the future there. They could put the 'past' stories into the dreams in 2.0 for those that join the game after 2.0. That would be very neat.

If you wont make a thread about it in the official forums, i will for sure :D

Pretty sure they said any past story for pre 2.0 is only for folks that played before. One of the major selling points of playing now is that only we get to experience the 7th umbral events.

Major consensus is to wait till 2.0 or at least relatively close to 2.0

Of course i'm ok for either since the game could use more publicity.

Yes, but they could put some fragmented pieces of the past in dreams anyway, to make show also for the new players what happened before.

lalafel bed animation is awesome lol

Grats Jinko and good job Twentytwo! *__*/

We did the battle like 15+ times last night and worked out most of it before the vid was posted, our only problem was that our DPS was often too low and after Aerial Blast that dodgy teleport blasting would obliterate us, we would still make it to the clone phase but then half would be dead.
This is definitely not an easy battle for healers after aerial blast. xD Hope we win today, was too late last night so I went to be, so did our tank.

My LS did some (about 4) dry runs on Garuda last night to get the patterns down. As a BLM, I was studying positioning and damage potential during my runs. My spells did normal Ifrit-level damage on her but was abysmal on the plumes. Is everyone having the melees handle the plumes while BLMs take down Garuda?

Yea it seems SE's solution to making melee matter on this fight was making the plumes magic resistant lol.

Archers are best suited for that job.

Might be worth tryingblizzara next time just to see what damage it does.

For who missed Urianger, he is right now in Thanalan 23,22, in the cave (in all the servers). For another 7 hours from now i think.

I tried both Blizzara and Fire spells. All did terrible damage. Melees are the way to go it seems.

Our set up was.

2 WHM, 1 CNJ, 1 BRD, 1 MIN, 3 WAR.

I would prob say the best party set up would be 2 DoL, 4 WAR's and 2 WHMs.

I am about to buy this from amazon for $10.00. Is this game optimized now? I remember hearing how badly it ran when it first came out. I assume it runs better now. Also, which server does everyone play on?

Yeah, a while ago they put out a patch that improved performance by like 25% or more.

And most of the GAF crew is on Sargatanas.

Thanks for the help earlier with the new GC quest. Battle against the new-type Juggernaut was awesome, and i'm still surprised that last resort raise worked.

I have like 30 days of Crysta left... I'd love to catch that Urianger achievement while trying to reactive as close as my classes finishing as possible. If he pops up again, I'd really appreciate it someone saying it!

Looking at how big Dalamud is now...npcs should be acting just a little bit more on edge. And I dont just mean important npcs, but normal townspeople.

I've been itching to try this game out lately, but I'd have to invest in a decent GPU first. As somebody who's been depending on consoles for games, I have no idea where to start.
