Make sure to avoid the plumes, I did that for the first time last night and spent the last 3-4 minutes of the fight dead due to those. Felt really dumb.

Welp, time to do your Thyrus Animus now!
You do it.
Man, if dungeons groups can fall apart at the drop of a dime, I shudder to think of how quickly Coil DF groups eat each other.

Absolutely not, I depend upon you to do those things!
Eh, pretty much. The best thing about Sea/Sky was that many people could partake in it, as oppose to 8 men instances. FCs become fragmented into small groups with little to no communication between each other... and because of lockouts they can't even play together. Sea, Sky, Dynamis, things didn't go to hell because someone decided to quit or didn't show that week.
The gear issue is exactly why I stopped doing Coil seriously (together with the issue to have to find and maintain a new static), I pretty much completed everything before 2.2, I tried the new coil a bit but wasn't really interested to "re-do" everything to have progresses reset in 6 months again. Better just play the game casually, Level 100 gears are more than enough anyway.

Thanks, guys.
I had to leave the queue since I had to do a quick food run. But I'll keep the tips in mind when I head back!60-ish FATES in East Shroud, zero goat atma.
Decide to finally finish the quest to unlock Leviathan, do one FATE right outside of Aleport because it's on my way, and get the crab atma.
RNG gonna RNG, I guess, but good lord is that frustrating.
I've also hit the fairly difficult to PUG section of fights--Garuda EX and Ultima HM are just exercises in misery; one group, we somehow got a tank that didn't grasp the idea of hiding behind the rocks for Garuda through like four wipes. That's basically an HM mechanic! It's entirely possible I suck at DPS and am not doing my job right (I know my rotation falls apart when I'm trying to kill various plumes or running away from Ultima's eruptions), but at least I'm not eating the insta-death mechanics. The one group I had that was learning and making progress ran up against the time limit and had to give up.
Had surprisingly good luck with Crystal Tower groups, though. That's actually a pretty fun dungeon as long as you don't get an entire party of idiots.

thx for the help on Ultima Weapon, guys. Ifrit....fuck you.
Probably won't have time to tackle on one dungeon or trial when I get back from Future Past later tonight, but maybe later (or even tomorrow), I'll try Lost City of Ampadour. Battle on Big Bridge will have to wait

They were teasing reveals at e3... and I have a weird OCD thing about subbing at the start of a month haha.

Expac won't be till atleast the end of the year, if it even comes this year. The patch reveal was teased for around e3 but it will not be any part of the show.

Where do you get all this money? Also what do you need crafted stuff for on your DPS jobs I thought you were WHM for coil now.
it sounds like new jobs are arriving soon and will be revealed at E3
Oh boy. End of the year... I know WoW is on the decline and all, but I wouldn't want to be anywhere near the Warlords of Draenor release.

The way they're going I'd honestly be amazed if that thing even hit the end of the year, going to get both around the same time anyway lol. It's not like it matters since even if it came a month or 2 after, people would still be riding the WoW expac hype train.
There's actually something to this game now to the point where by the time a WoW expac comes out this will have even more and then the expac is doubling that going by what they said. It's not like 1.0 this time around where they only launched it so it could beat Cata release even though it was beyond broken and had little to nothing to it.

Selling materia and taking advantage of certain markets when they are hot...and not spending much otherwise! It's a shame the sharks market crashed...=/
And I'm interested in doing dps for second Coil so I thought getting ready can't hurt.
Per platform as well. I know I'll need to buy it for PC and PS4.

Gotcha, guess I shouldn't be lazy and try to make money, but I really don't need much since the only thing I pay for is repairs and food ingredients.

There are many ways
People have posted info on how to obtain it, you have to search for it
No one is going to give your the gil making schemes just cause you asked

Are PF groups always worse then DFs, or this just the server I picked
PF's have a higher chance of trolling or elitism run rampant
DF not so much cause you are in a pool from the server cluster
You would think it would be the other way around, I mean Iv witnessed both in each but ever since Iv started extremes I go straight to DF. Lol It always fun getting matched with an A-team and crushing them.

I feel like this is a hidden message. Like if you decode it you'd come to the conclusion that he actually put up a really detailed list of ways to make money in the game(He did, its good , look at it.)

Is there actually any way to make those functions better? I could barely type a few words.
I just don't use those. I craft on Vita, or occasionally get into an instance because my DR popped while I'm pooping.
Omnilex Animus get, finally.
Is that the Animus everyone keeps going on about? Looks like a regular stuffed dodo to me. DUH-DUM-TISH!! Ha ha!! I'm here all week, folks...

Buyable with myth tomes.
Screw that quest though
Yup!
I'd read this

You're not going to find much difference in image quality unless you go above 1080p.
It doesn't really work like that though in terms of merely "topping" the PS4 version. I get a better framerate maxed out on my 560ti and i5-2500k than my PS4 on the very busy parts of the game, but that's to do with the weaker CPU in the PS4 more than anything.
The PS4 version is pretty much close to maxed out PC in terms of IQ. The PS4 only loses out on framerate when it gets busy.
Really? I have a 560ti installed right now, but my monitor doesn't go above 900p. Never tried the max setting. Are you running it on 1080p/max settings with better fps than the ps4 version?
Kinda disappointing then. (ps4 version)

Still my second favorite minion. <3 dem cactuars.
First is this li'l guy I rescued from an Alpha Gargoyle:
Sometimes at night I hear him muttering, "Revenge.. Reveeeenge.." Not sure if I should be concerned. Sure is cute, though...
1050 due to 16:10, but essentially yes.
The FPS is usually the same at a fairly solid 60fps on both platforms, it's just when it gets busy that the PS4 version goes a bit nuts. Which is fine, it would just need a bit more CPU grunt to cope when Odin drops. (and don't get me wrong, my PC still drops when that happens, just not as hard).

Did Leviathan EX farm with PF a few days ago and a Bard left after the first attempt because we didn't push the phases fast enough and we were wasting his time. Elitism at it's finest.
I'm sure that his time is very valuable... >_>
