    No idea what it is, but I'm down for some ocean fishing. Also it looks like this expansion's version of relic weapons is going to start up. Curious what approach they'll take with them this time.

    My knee-terk random totally unsupported pie-in-the-sky dream would be that it's an ff14 reskin of Sega Marine Fishing from the Sega Dreamcast. :razz:

    Almost sounds like it could be some instanced type thing or like retainer/squadron/trust/FC-ship missions. Suggesting fishing out in the deep ocean, instead of just fishing from shore or the Ruby Sea zone.

    Wait crafting and gathering overhaul?

    Didn't we JUST overhaul crafting?

    they said before 5.1 that the gathering/crafting overhaul would come half in 5.1, half in 5.2; we're just getting the rest of it now

    ocean fishing is going to be an instanced thing on a timer where people ride a boat together and fish, and can collectively get prizes. ffxi has something similar from what I understand

    the relic weapon stuff is the biggest question mark. eureka had its problems, but it also had some fun ideas, and it would be weird to throw out the concept entirely

    Eureka's main problem was being entirely separate progression. There was no overlap like with prior relics where a lot of stages could be done while leveling classes, etc.

    The second problem is that groups are mandatory for any real progress, of course.

    Eureka being instanced was terrible and really limited everything.

    And not just any groups, but pick-up-groups, large numbers. But yes, solo progression in Eureka was impossible until the second or third boost to xp gains post-_Shadowbringers_ release.

    Add in that the fastest progression method was running all over the zone with a giant train of players without regard to level because that was faster than fighting things that were at your level.

    I never made it out of the first Eureka zone during Stormblood. The ff11-inspired design throwback was negative fun to me.

    I'm fine with grindy, but let me grind while being able to queue for other things/roulettes.

    Yeah not being able to queue for dungeons while in it is the main reason I've only been inside eureka once.

    “Anamnesis” means “the remembering of things from a supposed previous existence”, like recalling memories from a past life or something.

    Or a record of a patient’s medical history.

    honestly the only thing that put me off of eureka is the ability to lose progress by dying

    if that's gone for the second one but it's otherwise the same I'd be fine with it

    Since everyone is basically always grouped and you only get penalized if you don't get rezzed (and in the latter half literally everyone can rez) it really only came up in BA iirc.

    Which is why Hydatos had Sprite Island, where you could easily reflect farm back that level.

    hey game, you want to actually address how messed up taking a kid away from their parents because they were born a Padjal is

    no, you're just going to kill her mom off and completely ignore that?

    why are the white mage quests so bad

    This does eventually get addressed, unless I'm badly misremembering

    She died in a cave and then a demon ate her soul

    Yes, special arrangements were made to allow them to live together and I think with Sylphie staying to help train her. However, something led to the child having an outburst, a big fight ensued in which the mother over extended herself, and she subsequently died. The child was then brought back to Gridania to resume her training there.

    Yeah I completely forgot about that ending too. In my mind
    mom lived, they both moved back to the city and were completely fine. Like, I was 100 percent certain this was what happened until I looked it up just now.

    Let’s all just agree that’s how it ended and never think of it again.

    they say at some point that the mom had like, a year to live at best, and were not going to tell the daughter that.

    and yes they absolutely do not go into how fucked the whole Padjal thing is

    eorzea is absolutely one of those settings where it's fun to be the protagonist, but for just about anyone else, it's a relentless nightmare hellscape where not even the sweet embrace of death will save you

    Still my favorite daytime zone track in Shadowbringers*.

    Unless you have Mount BGM turned on, then you might get tired of the LA-HEE. But still...
