What the hell are you doing in my room Jeels

I sure as hell hope you're right.

People would never catch up if the Zodiac was a prerequisite. I just brought the possibility up because one, we have no info on the second Relic and two, it's SE and trolling is in their blood.
They could make it a requirement but just massively nerf how long it takes to get it. Maybe even revamp it so it is part of the 50-60 leveling experience.

No way it is needed in it's current form.

Despite not capping poetics three out of the past four weeks, I'm now out of poetics stuff to buy. It really would be nice if itemization could play out multiple ways for different playstyles and not just "here's the good stuff and a bunch of random other crap to fill space" so you could justify picking up everything.

Time to buy random crap for alt classes I don't play outside of HM Primals, based solely on what looks coolest!

How's that possible? I know the body and legs are no good, but you still have accessories, hands, feet, head, belt, and weapon.

Itemization doesn't really matter if you're not doing bleeding edge content BUT it's a fair point. It would also help if CT3 came out with Final Coil to provide additional gear that could be used.

you can't even play those alt classes if you're grinding light for your main. great game design.

Even worse when you have out geared your relic (ala ironworks weapons/shields) and need to switch back each time you do content that isn't hard to get light.

I don't like Aurum Vale anymore. Not even the Marl-bros give me joy anymore. I never thought this day would come. Alas, my friends, it is upon us.

I was just glad to get through it after getting disconnected half way through the other night. Now time for that 48-50 grind, so close yet so far.

The earrings are acc/skill speed so meh, the Shiva bracelet is better, and I've got a ring/choker. Weapon and duplicate ring won't be an issue until 2.5, and even continuing half-assing it I'll probably cap 2000 poetics before then so might as well buy random crap.

Making both body and legs trash was a questionable decision from a casual treadmill perspective.

Too much skill speed is always annoying (at some point 2 oGCD between GCDs stops working smoothly) and for most of the poetics stuff everythingisskillspeed, and slapping the T9 acc cap on Shiva meant paying attention to acc values regardless. It's mostly a wasted opportunity at this point.

I believe yoship made sure that the good loot was in coil so ppl had to do it

I'm not asking for BiS or anything (and Yoship stuck the BRD body/legs in T12/T13 so I think he just hates bards), I was initially just questioning the overall itemization system in general (which seems to be a common complaint) and I guess now the distribution of good gear this tier in specific. Making the poetics pants not suck and, say, the choker bad would have added another week to the poetics grind and kept the gear split between tome and coil consistent.

Woah! The delivery moogle plush won't ship from the NA FFXIV store until Mid March 2015. That's fine, I mainly wanted to make sure I reserved my order. The actual shipment date doesn't matter to me.

That's last year's right? I'm wondering what they are going to roll out for this year.

Also please don't buy this in the cash shop. I believe you can have a friend who did the event last year buy it for ~200 gil and give it to you.

I think they'll remove the NPC, just like they did at Halloween.

How much cheap vanity stuff can you and your long history in this game hook me up with? Is this the only tradable thing?

Still waiting on those old ass V materias that showed up in the launch .dats.
The new beatmen from the expansion have been there for ages so they prob won't hit till post expac. Oh well.

Personally speaking, the whole in game marriage thing sounds waaaaaaaaay too awkward for me. Even a mounts doesn't seem worth that level of strangeness.

Just pay gold, put up on PF for a marriage, do the thing, never talk to your SO again and be another statistic in failed marriages.

I'm not sure exactly- I know the santa outfit is because I remember seeing it on the MB. I could check later.

...I should just check MB. I feel like if you get me stuff I'd have to stop advocating swapping you out for a vegetable in content.

It seems like it would only be awkward if you took it seriously. If you're just in it for the loot, don't invite anyone to the ceremony, ring the bell repeatedly to skip most of it, then immediately annul.
