No way only like 2 or three statics in the FC really are that hardcore. The rest of us are mid to low in the endgame.

Just did "Ultima Bane"
WTF, the coordination needed for the whole team this fight is "high" , Tell me you guys that are doing the coil of bahamut , is it "small time" in comparaison ?
Should i expect the same kind of team coordination for bahamut coils ?

Where do you find all the commands for macros?
Coil takes a lot more time, practice and coordination than that fight.

Damn . i just unlocked it today , i might just wait and see with my guild before we attempt it.
Turns 1, 2 and 4 aren't too bad in the Duty Finder. You'll need an organized group for 5+ though.

Well I haven't said much in the first place.
If that's okay, then I'm on right now. Blaetrot Pfarskoefsyn, since I doubt anyone could spell that even if they cared to remember.

Just found the C. Shroud A rank on my server. When we killed it we made a b-line right to the b rank who was a few feet away. Lol
Not really. Semi honestly and thats mainly the statics.
Always bet on your healers.
What an amazing way to kill Moogle Mog. Memento Moogle goes off and yet the dots kill it before I did.

What time is the live letter going down
7am EDT.
B marks tend to spawn around 50 mins after death.
A marks spawn anywhere from 3:30 - 5:00 hours after death.
Not sure about S ranks; the spawn windows so far have started 30+ hours after a server reset so I'm assuming the respawn window is the same. Once the window is open certain conditions have to be met before the mark will spawn.
I found a more up to date photo of Gizu:
I couldn't here you over the voice of mog HM and money... money... MONDAY!!!!!

Destiny Beta down for maintenance on Monday and Tuesday? Plenty of time to hopefully finish my final two books
Try this link.
Tip: Keep up with your main scenario/story quests (the ! icon will have a firey border) and your class quests (obtained from your class's guild npc). As you progress through all those quests, you'll unlock new stuff like dungeons, mount, abilities, etc.
And this link lists all the unlockable stuff by level.

Destiny Beta included like 2 more story missions but otherwise was the same as the Alpha with the same level cap and the same Strike Mission. I was so disappointed but I guess they can't let us have too much content before release.

frontlines is buttcheeks. for whatever the fixed in arena, they didn't think it would affect frontlines
Oh come on, I'm not the first to do this in the thread!
Congratulations.
(I'd be outraged at spoilers, I'm sure, if I hadn't skipped most story cutscenes since around the banquet fetch quests. )
We got the high allagan spear and the high allagan ring of fending. Hopefully next week I see healer pants or one of our weapons.

I did Garuda today and the healer said I did really well for a first time tank.
Tanking is a lot easier when you only have one target to focus on.
Difficulty so far mainly comes from when you have to manage aggro on multiple mobs at once.

so when you're level 15, you can change classes right?
when should you start leveling your 2nd classes then? And in order to level them, do you need to go back to the beginner zone to make sure you're killing level appropriate toon?

You can change classes as soon as you complete the level 10 class quest for your respective class. However until you receive the airship pass at level 15, you will be limited to the classes within your starting city.
There's no specific ideal time in which you should level your second class. At level 30 you can acquire your job assuming your secondary class for that job is level 15, and it's a good idea to do this as having a job in PvE will be expected of you past 30.
And yes, you do need to go back to the appropriate level zones to level your other classes. Any combat class below your highest will receive a 50% bonus to experienced earned, so it should go faster the second time around.
Video isn't working for me.

is it similar to FFXI though, in that your second class can't be 50% of the highest level of your other class?
Nope. No sub-job or sub-class mechanics here. You will only get the bonus IF your current class/job is below your highest, but otherwise you're free to level all of them to 50 and unlock all jobs.
Every job has a primary, a secondary, and a tertiary class associated with it. When using a job, these are the three classes in which you can draw up to five cross-class skills from. Likewise, every job has at least one useful cross-class ability from these three classes, so it's within your best interest to see which ones you want and level them up to get them.

so basically, if you level up primary class to 30, secondary to 15, you can then equip your job stone, and just level that to 50?
And if you take stone off, your primary class is 50, but secondary is 15?
Is there any purpose to level secondary above 15? (besides trying out a new class, etc)

Cross class abilities

Other classes have several useful cross class skills.
example: WAR can only get provoke (essential for endgame) by lvling GLD
Mike D you did good. Glad to see this get some mainstream attention.
The jobs themselves don't actually level nor do they have a level. Only the classes do. The item that enables the job simply specializes you.
As others noted, leveling the secondary and tertiary classes gets you cross class abilities. White Mage and Scholar, for example, get one of their best skills from Thaumaturge at level 26.
I was only joking.

Amazing how abusive newer players can be in this game.
I decided to try running SV-HM to get some drops for GC seals, and the other players stopped everything once adds came out, resulting in a wipe. One then proceeded to throw out tons of insults at me because, "I was a trash player," who didn't understand that I was supposed to pick up all the adds and take them to the center, so he wouldn't have to aim.
...yes, remove 1/4th of the parties DPS output, half if the healer stopped as well, just so one player doesn't have to aim a cannon.
What's more amazing is that he accused me of, "never doing hard content like this before," which was hilarious, considering that a large portion of my gear is High Allagan by now.
Anyhow, don't mean to rant, but this is just a counterpoint to all those stories about players being abusive to newbies. Sometimes it's the other way around.

Good video. It seems like you can embrace the drama and laugh at it, or it just makes things too toxic. Thought it was interesting that Brandon Jones came up with a lot of the quick fixes that a lot of people mentioned earlier in this thread without even playing it too.
Here's the counterpoint that Mike D mentioned over at Destructoid. This reads like my experience of hunts at 9am GMT when most of the server is asleep. It's a much better experience then.
