I wish Cure was more useful on paladins..
I think we may have hit the Christmas Eve lull on my server...
Reminds me of the night when Tumbleweeds exploded on Sarg.
Ahh, brings back memories. Healing meself @ Rafflesia's final phase like a pro.
Worthless healers. Gotta do everything meself
Second Turn 13 clear, from my POV. Wasn't able to record the first: http://www.twitch.tv/nova_crystallis/c/5743535
Kagari BLM PoV when?

square pies = communism
Interesting to watch, but man, that song. Every time I hear it the red mists descend. Absolutely cannot stand it. /flipstable >_<
The solution is opening right to left with a new person each clear.

N-no!
If you aren't a crafter, either go buy some accessories or have a crafter make you some with some cheap materia attached and go have fun in Urth's gift if the items are around i49

Playing dress up is more fun than crafting!

I still have a unused PS3 copy that I can upgrade to PS4. Do I just insert the PS3 disc in the PS4, download the client and activate my account?
Joined a grand company a week ago. Jesus at the experience from supply missions... before the GC I'd check off every item on the crafting list for bonus experience, do some items I want, then find a couple of items to grind out until I levelled. Now though... I do one HQ item and I level up. Convenient for sure, but it feels kind of broken.
Level 33 on my main class now, even with the typical MMO filler stuff the game's been lots of fun and I'm definitely picking up a first paid month, but I wish there was some challenge to the level experience. You really have to do something spectacularly stupid to die in this game (where I'm at, at least), on the other hand it's also nice that early dungeons aren't 2 hour wipe affairs.
Duty Finder hasn't been nearly as nasty as the LFG tool in WoW, I guess there was one dungeon where someone was complaining about cutscene watching and not skipping optional stuff, but otherwise people are surprisingly friendly.

Fifteen minutes of "not yet ready" sound. You gotta calm yourself down, man.
Beat me to it
Oh man, that's hoarable
Do you mean trade in your GC seals for the GC armor and spiritbond it? You can't convert the GC stuff. You can buy Spiritbond Potions from your GC that give you a small buff though. If you're looking to convert your seals to money, check out the MB to see which GC crafting mats are going for the highest amount and buy that with your seals.
If you're willing to craft or purchase gear with gil, the last set I used for spiritbonding was:
Weapon: Current staff
Head: Felt Coif (Bought in Mor Dhona)
Body: Felt Robe (Crafted)
Hands: Boarskin Ringbands of Flame (Bought in Mor Dhona)
Waist: Raptorskin Satchel Belt (Bought in Mor Dhona)
Legs: Felt Gaskins (Crafted)
Feet: Felt Dress Shoes (Crafted)
Neck: Zircon Choker (Crafted)
Earrings: Zircon Earrings (Crafted)
Wrist: Tortoiseshell Armillae (Crafted)
Rings: Zircon Rings (Crafted) and Aetherial Rings (Map rewards)
Made 10 sets of that last time. The purchased stuff was ~120k while the crafted gear I HQ'd for the buff with mats I gathered cause I'm cheap. Didn't bother attaching materia cause I was broke at the time, but I did use a spiritbond potion and waited for the FC spiritbond buff to become active before burning through most of the sets. Went to Urth's Gift, joined a party, popped the potion and did 7 sets in around 2:30 hours. Came out making around 3.5 millionon Ultros with the materia I got of the 10 sets (3 Savage Might 4's, 2 Savage Aim 4's, 12 Savage Might 3's, 14 Savage Might 3's, 9 Quicktongue 3's, and a bunch of other useless materia I either dumped on the MB or converted it in hopes of getting something better).
Wow, thanks for the detailed answer. Now I know what to do in a few days when I finish my books.
Wait, that's it? *flips table*
Gotta go fast.

It's up on the US store now.

Almost bought this, but it is missing the 13th song.
For the price difference, I'll take it missing the bonus track--Shiva JPop thing, LEVIATHAN LEVIATHAN LEVIATHAN, another version of Under the Weight... not bad.

Anyone got a pic of their Controller hotbar for Ninja? I'm still trying to figure out a good way to get the most common things I use on the main hotbar and stuff that isn't so regular on the cross hotbars. I need some examples of other peeps controller hotbars so I can start building off what I already have.
On an slightly unrelated note I'm realizing this game really does a piss poor job of teaching you a class/job. Leveling a 2nd 50 DD after learning the game has shown me that. There's really no natural follow-through after they give you abilities. You spend so much time being forced to sync into low level dungeons or FATES were you can't use any of those new actions on a regular basis on real enemies. Striking dummies don't seem to alleviate this as they aren't real world scenarios that include game mechanics like dodging etc. It gets a little better at 45+, but by then your basically doing a last minute trial by fire, final exam cram style, learning of your class etc.
Its one of the things that's beginning to irk me about this game, but It is what it is I suppose.

You shouldn't be doing FATEs in which you're synced down like almost at all, the only time it kinda makes sense is 40-44 in Coerthas or so(and only some of them will sync you). As for dungeons, I don't know why you'd ever do lower level dungeons other than the roulette. So really it's a matter of how much you play every day I guess. If all you do is your roulette and log out, then yeah you're mostly going to do low level content which makes it hard, but if you don't just do that and also play the game, the rest of the content should be done on level most of the time. Maybe during the story you have to unlock certain dungeons later than the right level range, but the level sync level shouldn't be that far from your own level, and every new dungeon you get the skills you learned since the last regardless.
So I don't really see it. Now there's other issues, like the fact most of the classes actually get massive changes in gameplay within the last 5-10levels, which basically invalidate everything you've learned before and you have to relearn everything or add a lot of stuff to your existing rotation, but this isn't quite the same thing.
