Thanks! I logged in the other day and didn't remember seeing any main story quests around my level, only level 50+ quests. Do I have to go back to the Sands to get something? (I think that's what it's called)

It should be on top left of screen they usually have a different symbol in your journal a fireball like circle with a ! In middle
The FF wiki does. Here's the page for Ascians. The main Ascians in the story also each have their own page with more details on their story arc.
I had zero issues with it. Maybe the rocks weren't in your field of view cause stuff outside it wont target lock. You can also do the inverse to make it easier, get Garuda/noctis out of your field of view and the only object you'll target will be the rock.
Mark them with like numbers and signs? You can do that by opening the signs menu and adding them to your crossbar, then just target them and hit the button on your crossbar. I think you can also macro it to make it easier marking multiple enemies at the same time, but ive never had the need to do that so never bothered with it.
If you mean focus targeting, square button is the same as right clicking. Hitting square over an enemy will bring up the context menu for focus targeting.

Man, I really liked the Noctis quests, even if they felt a little inconsequential in the grand scheme of things. Teaching Noct how to not die in AOEs was fun, and then having him teach the WoL how to Link-Strike was cute too.
I just wish the dorky fucking country twang music wasn't the only song that plays in the Regalia. Give me Valse di Fantastica or something, Christ.

This is actually super fascinating and I really wonder why that would be something they actively want to do. That has to suck up a decent amount of mitigation from the Paladin. I always find alternate strats fascinating, but I've sat here thinking about this long enough that I went back to pull up our old logs to confirm I wasn't underestimating how many CDs we were throwing at the solo soak, and I still can't figure out what the gain would be from having hm pop one orb and then having seven other people run through three.
LB gen duriing Primas is just sort of a weird fascination I have, because the game was super transparent about how hard it was trying to guarantee you had an lb3 for the final burn phase by making reprisal and addle unavailable. I'm kind of curious to see how much you guys end up building. I have wondered if the gear increases end up making the Suppression push weird; it used to be hold and wait for the Homing Laser so you could push him as low as possible before Suppression, but at this point it seems like you'd have to start holding back basically as son as Annihilation ends or decide screw it and just push him into 50 earlier on to skip out on the busters (which in turn could cause CD problems...)
It shouldn't ultimately matter much, I'm just all about building in failure padding (which is kind of how we ended up with 1-1-1-1; I wanted that extra tick of the bar before enrage Just In Case) and I now assume the tank LB is so the PLD can solo soak but WHY is he solo soaking seriously I am so curious because it just seems like making you guys heal more and tossing LB away for ?
Titan is a special kind of awful--You basically have five seconds between Viscous and Earthen Fury, and unless you're either holding your GCD or hit lines up perfectly part of that five seconds is getting eaten waiting for your GCD to come back up. It was a special kind of hell for our SCH as we all got super familiar with shield propagation delays, especially if he'd panic blown swift in the past 60 seconds, so we eventually just came up with ways to ease the pressure off him a bit. We did Veil instead of Shake (because we were blowing a basically fully fed Shake on booms) but then had Bubble or on third Passage handy. Ifrit and Garuda let you stand around more, and Ifrit gives you like an entire extra second to deal with his stuff, it's just Titan that's awful.
Yeah, by the end of the second primal almost all of the healing is dispensed with since you just have to get through viscous so that seems late to end up doing you much good. Refresh at Predation and Suppression basically meant extended Foes at the start of Ultima, a short foes in the active phase after Predation, natural MP regen got a like... 3/4ths foes during the start of the post-annihilation active phase, then refresh during Suppression for another short foes from when Ultima comes back through boom, then more MP regen for a final 3/4ths foes for final burst. The key thing I think was that even the shorter foes would cover 10+ seconds and the 3/4ths ones came in around 20 so they were covering the height of the burst windows and during parts of the fight peopler were generally not having to disengage or spam heal so I liked his lineups.
But seriously if your bard fights you for shift make him math out how it is possibly worth more than a single malefic because I actually had to math out ticks of foe vs malefic in speed openers at one point and... you win easily, even setting aside the whole 'maybe we don't die to damage because I bottomed out'.
Yep, they totally are, and yep, it's totally annoying. We're sort of slowly plonking through UCoB right now (my favorite part thus far is explaining the movements for Heavensfall Trio to our PLD only to have him go 'Wait, Heavensfall does proximity damage?!?' because I guess he thought we stacked in the neurolink at Nael transition for fun) and I'm popping those things like candy for rezzes. And honestly if you're pushing at a solid percentage into Suppression, it's basically just not dying and then it's over. Titan just likes to make the not dying interesting.
I used a music swapper to change the music. Only downside is I have to revert it and redo it every patch that changes the music file
The music choice makes sense, but not the one I wanted lol
I just hope they patch it so the Regalia can have more than one song. It's the Regalia. Lots of songs is kind of its thing!
If I remember. They can't because of how the game recognizes and picks songs. If they were to attempt it, they would need to overhaul the entire music system. And thus have to also rework the orchestration and etc.
Yes, if you've unlocked a dungeon, including optional Hard variants, roulette can still pick them if you haven't cleared them.
A8 the brute justice one. That's it, nothing else. All I want is the damn tank chest and sword.
I remember taking out Brute Justice with a two or three-man party once. Maybe you could have luck doing it with a reduced size group?
People are still scared of Brute Justice for some reason. It's pretty much facerollable now as long as you can figure out how to hide behind a leg. When my group did it near the middle of SB we still did gavel but I don't think that's necessary anymore.
I don't trust people, I have had full 8 man parties not meet enough dps checks to skip and not get the idea of the leg thing
Reduced parties aren't gonna help
Same data center as me. May have to wait until the weekend. But I will see if I can find some people to curbstomp it
Nope. Ditch it.
It's really just there because the other two casters have bind spells.

Ever since Shirogane housing released I've wanted a house there but had to settle for one in the Goblet. This morning I was doing dailies and as always checked if there was a Shirogane plot open. For the first time since I started to do this I saw an open S plot. Rushed over there and saw 4-5 people standing just outside it but I guess they were all AFK because I ran up and transfered my housing no problem. FEELS GOOD!
Grats on the house. They were probably waiting for the random invisible timer to go away, but when transferring the timer is ignored, so you were able to grab it right in front of them.
\o/ Almost all done with Omega content, got all my BiS and some extra stuff for alt jobs. Need 2 more 12 clears for the group for everyone that was absent to have 8 books then we are finally going to start working towards UWU. I'm happy I'll have plenty to do still until ShB xD
the DPS queqs are fucking nightmare HOLY SHIT
what the fuck man is there anyway to approve this? i had to fucking wait ONE HOUR to do deltascape v2 dungeon

Isn't deltascape old content? So you have content no one is queuing for plus being a dps against you. Best option is to get a tank or healer friend to queue with you or see if you can get a quick party through party finder.
Edit; no autocorrect I don't mean Dow instead of dps
Edit; no autocorrect I don't mean Dow instead of dps
usually they aren't that bad, but if you also queued in around the time of your post, you weren't exactly doing it during hours people were actually playing the game unless you're in europe.
older 8 man raids (Alexander and the previous floors of Omega) have the longest queue times out of anything, since people don't queue up for them manually anymore and they're only filled up via the raid roulette now.
Oh shit. I must have read it wrong then. I could've sworn that message you get when you put an item in there says you can't ever retrieve it. Good to know.
In other news, my FC just disbanded while I was in a dungeon. It left me very confused. No more exp bonus for me.
It used to be the case that adding an item to your dresser meant you couldn't retrieve it, but they changed that in patch 4.3, I believe.
When it first launched, you couldn't take it back out of the dresser. Now, I think it just resets your spirit bond if you put a piece in and take it back out.
Guys what is happening? I'm sitting here WANTING to grind out Eureka.
Sitting here trying to max out DRK for the expansion and this horrible itch compels me to grind out the Trex and further. They fucking got me.

Drives up beside you in the regalia
GET IN NERD! WE MAKING RELICS
Yeah thats what I plan on for my DRK once I get to 70 now. I just end up stopping DRK progression for more Eureka. Instead of just getting the easy grind out for DRK first.
Is there an ERA cross-world linkshell that may be open for joining? I'm getting back into this and sadly the FC that I was in a few years ago is mostly dead silent now. I need people to hang with while I'm grinding up to 60 again!
If anyone has a hookup for an FC on Diabolos I'd also happily take an invitation. My few friends who play this are one there, so I didn't want to make another character on Ultima just to join the Era FC.
Anyway, I haven't touched this since pre-Stormblood. It's wild to see all these people just driving FFXV cars across the landscape haha.

Just got RDM to 70. What an easy and simple class. Just what I wanted lol. I wonder why they made it so simple. By level 68 it's pretty much done. Level 70 just gets you Verflare again except it's white magic. I hope in ShB it gets Haste. It also needs combo actions for Moulinet just like Riposte. I think I'll get my DPS classes to ilevel 375-380ish. My RDM is only 304 because I never had a reason to pick up any gear for it before now. That ilevel is uncomfortably low.
I'm also finally doing Alexander stuff and it's really tedious. Why is it so long? Why is it 12?

Just made it to Stone Vigil, hoping to finally get a full set of dungeon gear but one run of a dungeon and im leveled pretty good lol. I know its not the hugest deal atm but the completionist in me wants it.
Also whats the hot take on Marauder these days. Might make that my next class to take a break from Ninja duty timers.

Are you talking about the trials?
Because at the time of release for each, they were separated roughly 6 months apart across 3 tiers of 4 bosses. It would have been a bit of a disaster if they launched with less
