FF XIV 5.25

Ok, I ma convinced that the Varis fight was originally concceived as an actual Garlean boss fight. The idea being that he would be one of the last bosses you go against when you storm into Garlemald.
But then when the story of Shadowbringers was being written, a chance was made so that Zenos returns and kills of Varis, but they are left with the Varis fight concept and thought it would be a waste not to put it in the game, so this is why he is instead implemented as an Echo memory boss instead.

Am I right?

>please look forward to the actual content in 6 months, that will be 12.99 plus tip

How tough is it? Can't imagine it's harder than Eden 5-8 given the coffers are 480.

IT'S HIM

THAT'S EMET

>Varis trial so we can have Varis mechanics reused in the same fucking patch cycle in one of the weapon fights
So this is how the game will end

I don't get it.

About as hard as Ruby but shorter.
It's all standard stuff you've seen a hundred times, it's just that it can actually kill you.

Is that breaking boundaries remix actually in the game or was it just patched in to be used later

please don't tell me it's gonna be for the 5.3 trial

>ShB boss theme for the Trial
>even for the Ex Trial

Soken what the FUCK

>Gerolt
Sweet Hydaelyn how much money does he owe this bitch?

Prease understanderu

>Ugh I have to play the game for gear?! I don't get it

But it's trash gear. Shouldn't there be at least a mount or something?

everytime he gets paid big he drinks it all away
its his mind's way of keeping him perpetually in debt so rowena can always get to him and he gets to be with rowena

The mount will get added to the Mogstation at a later date.

Sigh. Going to be annoying dealing with shitters just to dye GNB AF. Good thing it's the only ShB AF I care about.

I'm 90% sure this fight is recycled from some half finished concept they had for a Varis fight before they killed him off

Wait, if the new relics are new models, how do you dye the ShB AF weapons?

I just found out about the Yokai Watch event and that it might come back someday. I've never played this game but if that came back, I would probably give it a shot

No. You'd probably get the mount and then whine about having the mount so quickly.

Redpill me on tanking - is endgame fun?
I've mained melee dps for a long time and the autistic parsing and rotation is getting tiresome.

is ghimlyt dark the fastest way to get poetics?

Don't tell me you already forgot about poor old Rihtahtyn

What, Gabranth's not a Garlean?

It's the same as DPSing, autistic parsing included, but with much easier rotations.

He's probably a traitor Dalmascan

Do Leveling/Alliance/Normal Raid roulette on a class that isn't 80 yet

That Jew make him owe her a debt that she knows he cannot pay it no matter how hard he try. Its her own way to make him to never disappear from her again.

That's my plan, PF is fucking aids.

>just wanted these new NPCs to tell me about stuff
>get pages-long treatise about so and so
Yep, it's Matsuno alright

But doesn't taking hits and popping cooldowns feel more 'reactionary' versus dodging circles and doing your melee combo as a DPS?
Tanking looks less "scripted" even though I know the tank buster timings are all the same, if that makes sense. But I might be wrong.

>Dalamud was a fakeout
>Cid dying was a fakeout
>Scions returning to the Source was a fakeout

I don't like this, YoshiP

Zenos on the first was a fakeout

And the starshower. They need to knock that shit off.

What equipment (ilvl, slot) drops from the EX trial?

All it's telling me is that they are absolutely gutless when it comes to actual story happenings, so afraid to piss off waifufags and fanboys they settle for "merely pretending"

Same as Ruby

Of course I should have known that since ARR and them walking back the Nanamo thing like chickenshits

It's exactly as scripted as everything else I fear. It does add a different layer to the gameplay you might enjoy however. Have you tried SAM? Good usage of Third Eye also requires that reactionary gameplay you're looking for.

So is imgur.com/a/wUbHT13 the artifact weapons or the weapons from the new trial?

You're setting yourself up for disappointment by expecting anything interesting from this game. Stuff like 5.0 is the exception.

Artifact Weapons. The trial is just for farming totems to get the AF armour.

they're not going to re-use the Goorlean gimmick again

>scions returning
We've known it would be impossible once 5.2 msq was done brainlet
Even better, we speculated it might be placeholders for actual players, and we were right, sort of

There'd have to be new music for a gwyber LMAO

It's gonna be a long wait for 5.3. God damn.

I think we'll still get Combat Data berserk overrides but it won't all be the same as Stay Puft Marshmallow Nael

He was a traitor mutt in the original game and Rhitamins was a Roegadyn legatus so it's not like there's zero precedence

Rhitatayn wasn't a legatus

How long, another 3 months?

If you don't like it you should go back play your shitty classic. XIV content is always top.

Why was this even delayed? It's the most underwhelming relic launch ever and the storyline wasn't particularly lengthy either.

>>one hour of content
The next time some faggot tells me this games budget ISN'T getting siphoned off into other projects, I'm going to savagely raid their asshole.

Why is he named after an ADHD drug?

All resources were diverted to FF7R. Not joking.

thereabouts, barring any corona delays

If you've expended every last first time bonus you can, yes, because it's piss easy in comparison to other stb/hw patch dungeons, and the alliance set is also actually pretty decent glamour wise

Good.

This, this show how ungrateful the current zoomer playerbase is

maybe I'm just really tired but I'm in absolute stitches over Stay Puft Marshmallow Nael

i don't have any class that isn't 80

that theme is pretty cool though
