All of my (Rerevachi) EX primal clears have come as a result of help night. I've relied on them mostly because, as you stated, they're a lower-stress way to learn and complete difficult fights. I remember my Titan clear taking multiple attempts over hours and it was great. I wasn't aware of this negative reputation until recently and I don't participate in it because I expect an easy clear - I sort of think that's the case for most people who take part, though I'm pretty naive about this stuff. Just my thoughts.
Hello all.
I was planning to write a bit post about this graphic overall release (not sure how many of you have been using my now very outdated section in the OP) but I'm lazy.
Basically I've been working on a new project which is largely made possible thanks to Reshade and it's really open platform (allows me to prepare for DX11 for example, as well as put in my own shaders.)
It's a little rough, and has stuff people don't like (ie, minor CA) - but also has the option to turn it off so I don't get shot. It's "my preset" made with Reshade but I've written into it some of my own filters I felt would change the game's look for the better.
I'm going to post a preview image here and if there's interest I'll put up a compressed file later for download. Keep in mind this image was made a couple of weeks ago. Some changes since then include me toning down the blue gamma, lessening the blur from DoF slightly among some other things.

It uses some FXAA but it's not very effective from what I've noticed. I haven't added any AA solution to this overlay because I downsample from 1440p - you can force extra SMAA or FXAA (blurry), though.
I downsample as well and it always felt like a dumb solution since it introduces a number of other issues with things not rendering to scale. I'd like to see if DX11 presents any solutions to the problem, I'm not nearly as versed in with it entails.
It does yes. I have never been able to get GeDoSaTo to work with FFXIV to try and fix the contrast shortcomings of my downsample solution. The main bonus from this overlay is that it introduces DoF which really takes away from those awful flickering jaggies in the background. The foreground however, can be rough at times which is why I have left in FXAA and SMAA as an external injector.

Question. If I die my Zodiak will it stay dyed in Zeta form or will I have to re dye it?

Cool after cause I was gonna dye mines Metallic Gold and didn't want to waste it if it didn't stay in zeta form. Now what about if you dye it glamour it then disspell it.

Dispelling glamours removes dyes, I believe.

Lalas that go bald without losing any bets actually exist, guys.
I can't.
I can't.
Weird, my Metallic Gold dyed Zodiac Lilith Rod changed to the base colour when I upgraded to Zeta. Had to dye it again.
Well technically you were one of them, so...

Let's not get carried away here. I mean WAR has 3 whole different combos compared to PLD having 1. We're not talking about rocket science here.
Also Pacification after Berserk can go fuck itself.

Oh, of course, but compared to PLD it is much more fun, imo.
Or rather, PLD is so boring that makes WAR way more fun than it really is.
I have great expectations abour DRK, looks like could be even the more fun tank.
(Also there's something incredible satisfying about Steel Cyclone, although I know it sucks compared to 1.23)

Come one Snowcloack. You're all I need
Saw this game on sale for the PS4 today and after watching some reviews it got me interested. I use to be a big MMO player but stopped because of work travel. I got a few questions I hope you could help with.
I don't think there is but any chance a PS4 demo exist? If not how would a PC with a GTX460 1GB do? I know this game isn't as group dependent as say FFXI was but is it generally enjoyable playing solo? Are pick-up groups okay or does it really take teamwork to get through?
I guess the last question would be how do you communicate on the PS4? Is a usb keyboard needed?

After playing WoW for years, and suffering through 6 month to year-long droughts in content, I find it downright adorable how some folks in this tread cry the game is dead, when there'll be only a few months before the expansion hits. You guys don't know how good you have it. XD
What is out?

This.
During that 6 month drought, I ended up playing FF14 and loving it, but I'm more dedicated to WoW at this time.
I left WoW for like 8 months after we farmed the heck out of Heroic SoO. People on GAF FC mumble didn't know what to say last summer when I told them WoW hadn't been updated since September lol.
I still play both, the differences between them make me appreciate both more i think.
Prices will most likely dump in 3.0 with Rank 5 Materia becoming a thing. Prices will also slowly drop over the next couple of months as the game dies down. Sell now.
As someone who hasn't even gotten past the zodiac books for a weapon (and will probably stop after finishing the 9 books), it seems that only a later stage in the relic quest will need a bunch of materia.
So, unless I want to actually attach some pieces to gear, I can't see a reason to hold onto them.

So what is up with that Pharos Sirius glitch? Had that darn crystal show up from the bottom floor in our fight with Siren, was kinda hilarious to be honest.
Yeah that's happened to me before as well. It was awesome haha.
