i missed most of it cause i was paying attention to ramuh fight unlike a certain bard
Well, THAT one happens even on PS4. I just got 90k'd earlier, in fact.
And yeah, the others all depend on who you run with. Poorly maintained PCs will do that. :\
Oooh I didn't realize the 2nd SCH was from Sargatanas too

Interesting that majority of the entries were actually Legacy servers.

PSN only prevents you from logging in. If PSN is going up and down, it doesn't affect you as long as you're logged into FFXIV.
So, how is the new race supposed to work?
I mean, I assumed that anyone that signed up for 3.0 would still have to go through all the mandatory 2.0 content. However, if this race isn't chronologically introduced to Eorzea until after the affair with Giaius, then it wouldn't make a bit of sense to go through that content as that race.
So, will new players that choose that race, skip over all the 2.0 content, or, what?

Saw that, looked for Xtech everywhere, but I couldn't make out his emotes through the din of the crowd.

The costumes were really good.

Why? They are just as much a part of the game as "levels and dungeons". Why is it okay to cheapen that part of the game by letting you pay for it and not the other? It just isn't what I want from a sub mmo. It just being cosmetic has no effect on my point of view since ether way it still effects the overall gameworld for me.
What kind of hax? Reported for illicit activities.
Wow, haha.
Most likely scenario is it won't matter/change anything. Overall continuity of legacy content when interacting with new content is rarely fussed over. I mean you can take it a step further, and a new player who gets to level 10 for first time could change to Rogue and (eventually NIN at 30) and yet still do main story quest as normal despite the Doman people not having arrived yet during those quests.
Gameplay > story basically. Depending on how important the lizard people are to the overall expansion story, they might get some extra nods here and there but I would not expect any real changes to the original 2.0 story.

Well few ways they can go with it.
Gameplay > Lore, retcon all that shit or just do whatever, can play new race even though it doesn't logically make sense.
Other way would be to make the new race go through a race specific area that ends with them starting at lvl 50. This invalidates a lot of content though, but might not be a terrible idea for an expansion, WoW did that during WotlK with Death Knights who started at lvl 60 instantly(or 58 whatever it was).
Unlock the race by finishing 2.0 story. This is meh as it limits new players options, and you'd still run into logical weirdness since the char would still go through 2.0 content.
Guess we'll see, I'd say 1 is the easiest and simplest, just add the race and be done with it, doesn't make sense in terms of story but whatever. You can already do a bunch of lore breaking stuff, like getting primal i90 weapons crafted before you ever fight any primals. Where do these demimaterias come from, the primals aren't even awakened! So yeah whatever. It's still a game in the end.
FFXIV is not a lore based game, you are thinking this too much.

cash shop? cosmetic items? lol, that's how they familiarize you with that pay to win mindset. so, when do we start calling max. level cosmetic, since it's so easy to attain?
i'm sure a good chunk of this fanbase is just chasing glamour items. SE knows this, so introducing a cash shop is quite devious.
agreed.

Hell look at the timeline for wow leveling content.
10/13 races go from Cataclysm -> Burning Crusade -> Wrath -> Cataclysm -> Pandaria
2/13 go from BC -> Cata -> BC -> Wrath -> Cata -> Pandaria
1/13 go from Pandaria -> Cata -> BC -> Wrath -> Cata -> Pandaria.

+ Best fashion
+ No stupid cast bars
+ Constant button mashing
+ Class of choice for running around making pewpewpew noises
- Ugly relic
- There are tons of us, easy to be obviously bad at, probably saved from the lol baddy class image solely by the existence of DRG
- No loyalty between bards, just constant chucking each other under the bus. Example:
IDK what you expect when shiny gold Lightning shows up, but success shouldn't be on that list. No shame.

IT'S ALMOST TIME
They're not just as much a part of the game as "levels and dungeons". Unless you also consider costume DLC part of FF13-2 or Tales of games, when they clearly do not affect game progression, game mechanics, or provide instances in which game mechanics are exercised. The minions don't do the above either. Are you actually evaluating a game and gameworld overall based on a few cosmetic items in a cash shop?
You can't spell Bard without BAD.

Nope, deal with it.
Never have that issue as I just plug my controller into dock each time I'm done playing.
Do we even play the same game? Half of the point of crafting in this game is vanity and minions.
Given that in the past costumes used to be available in the game via sub-quests and challenges, yes, they do.

The DRG falling off the Leviathan barge, lol.
Everything that isnt Coil and even then only the current one isnt progression. 95% of the game currently exists as nothing but stepping stones and vanity. Granted this is largely attributed to the games verticality which is another whole problem but as it stands whats NOT on the table for the cash shop?
