What's all these stats do?
For the sake of brevity, only the basic outline will be covered. Exceptions and "buts" which apply to high-end PvE content will not be mentioned due to added complexity and if you're at the point of optimising at that level, this info isn't for you.
Primary stats include Strength, Dexterity, Intellect, Mind and Vitality. All of these stats can be allocated with your bonus points for levelling up.
Secondary stats include Critical Hit, Determination, Direct Hit, Tenacity, Skill Speed, Spell Speed and Piety.
A "tertiary" stat is weapon damage. Weapon damage is king and any increase will make a very significant impact on your effectiveness.
Each combat class/job will have a preferred primary stat. For tanks, this is Vitality. Melee DPS except Rogues/Ninjas will favor Strength. Ranged physical DPS and Rogues/Ninjas want Dexterity. Casters will want Intellect and finally Healers want Mind. The primary stats will have a significant effect on all your abilities.
Secondary stats are a fair bit more complicated.
Critical Hit - Increases the chance for a hit to deal extra damage as a critical hit. This stat also increases the severity of the critical hits.
Direct Hit - Similar to Critical Hit, Direct Hits deal extra damage compared to a normal hit. Compared to critical hit, direct hits are lower severity, but occur more often. As with critical hit, this stat increases the severity of the direct hits in addition to increasing the chance a direct hit will occur. This stat can only be found on DPS role gear, however it can be melded via materia on Tank and Healer gear.
Determination - Increases the potency of all skills and abilities.
Skill Speed - Rather complex stat. It affects Damage over Time effects at around the same potency as Determination but has other effects in reducing the GCD of weaponskills. Advanced players who are aiming at optimising their play will seek certain amounts of skill speed. Value is dependant on job.
Tenacity - A new stat introduced with 4.0 Stormblood. This stat replaces Parry and is only available on tank gear, and only affects jobs and classes of the Tank role. This stat increases damage done, reduces damage taken and increases the potency of healing spells and effects.
Spell Speed - Similar to Skill Speed, this stat affects the cast time and the GCD of spells. Black Mages will sell their own mothers for more spell speed and as a result, the stat occupies a value higher than crit for them. It's still a good stat for any other caster, including healers as it also affects periodic effects such as Damage over Time effects and Heal over Time effects.
Piety - This stat increases the maximum MP of class and jobs of the Healer role. It will not have any effect on Tank or DPS role classes. Piety also has the side-effect of increasing MP regeneration as the base regeneration is a function of maximum MP set at 2% every 3 seconds while in combat. The amount of MP desired by healers differs based on personal preference with some favouring a larger MP pool to have a strong reserve amount while others prefer minimal amounts of MP. As of 4.0 Stormblood, Piety is now considered as a full secondary stat, and has the same equipment stat caps as all the other secondary stats on all 4.0 and newer items.

chair to Creation and then suplex the Void.
This was how the game was originally. It was bad. It was fated to die an early death. In order to save their flagship title, Square brought in
Naoki Yoshida, also known as Yoshi-P. After much struggle, he and his team took the game apart and put it back together so it looked like this:
This game was good and everyone loved it, to the tune of them putting out 3 expansions, with a 4th on the way. (The following videos may have spoilers, you are warned.)
And here is the Teaser trailer and Launch trailerfor the new expansion in the spoiler tags:
So come play the game with us. And if you don't want to play with us, fine. Come play with someone else. Jerks I mean, Silly Geese.
This ought to be enough. Commence posting.

Please be kind and use spoiler tags for plot speculation based on the story teaser trailer, and for plot discussion after launch eventually!
So here I am jumping between grinding PLD relic weapons for ARR, HW and Bozja.
And Bard weapon from Eureka.
Got to have a hobby.
I'm still almost 100% assuredly going to be maining Sage. And it would be cool to have some laser knives that have the glow effects like the sword and shield that Dhalphir posted in the old thread. (That's some sweet mog by the way).
I like the baseline look of the Sage artifact armor, based on the pre-release promotional videos and such. But I honestly can't wait to see what they do with it in the future, like in 7.0. It's fine, but it's pretty vanilla.
AFAIK no, not for relic weapons. Maaaaybe stuff like the high-end raids which is what Dhalphir posted? Not sure there.
I mean I wanted a beard for my Hyur. And the only option available is this whispy little nothing beard.
And you get to choose between six faces. Except five of them appear to be deliberately bad, so it's not really even an option.
I have an NA account and I played FF14 for years. Now, I live in Germany. I purchased a PS5 and my PSN is EU based. I just bought FF14 and Endwalker on PSN but it will not let me register my Square Enix account because I am region locked.
There is 0 fucking way I am going to play through the entire MSQ on a new account. Is there any workaround or does SQNX just not understand that people might move countries?
Roegadyn and Hrothgar mihgt be up your alley.

I mean, you could be a badass animoo baby potato like me
The Hyur Midlander's are definitely intended to be the pretty boys. Give Highlander a try.
I hate it. I really hate it. The keybinds don't fit within my existing keybind plans - needing a fourth bind for a secondary basic combo finisher is really irritating. I also really hate overpower - hitting mobs behind me while I'm doing wall to wall sprint pulls is really awkward.
Overpower and the combo don't change at max, though.
PSN/Steam/NNID: SyphonBlue | BNet: SyphonBlue#1126
it doesn't generate fury until the 70s.
inner beast is just plain bad now and makes war really lame at 50. definitely victim of power creep
For keybinding I have shift and ctrl as modifiers on PC so my hand never strays too far away from R, T, F, C, X, Z, and 1, 2 ,3, 4. It's tight, but I have pretty much all my job actions set up so I don't have to play "stare at the keys and then die," during a raid.
And that song played the whole time I was waiting in the queue for the trial. Super snake eater slash classic James bond theme feel to it
also highlander hyurs, they are bigger and less anime pretty, also have slightly more beard option (still not much but more than midlanders)
I'm actually an idiot. Of course Storm's Eye can go on Goring Blade's spot, they're literally the same type of button.
Thanks for the tip.
I have no idea why
the gameplay is mindless, the content isn't varied, the rewards are purely cosmetic, and achieving anything takes enormous amounts of time.
But I just love it. It reminds me of the Legion assault levelling from the Legion prepatch, back in early 2016 at the end of WOD. Dozens or hundreds of people swarming to objectives, working on them together.
I think it's really interesting how something that is just objectively boring content can be quite enjoyable and thrilling when you have a good community of people doing it and helping each other. A random healer will cross half a zone to rez someone who died to avoid them having to take an XP down hit from releasing. People will actively wait multiple minutes after spawning a Fate to let others come to it before they pull. In theory, Korthia should have had the same feeling, but WoW's entire lack of collective positive community collaboration means that it was instead a stressful dash everywhere, hoping to get to a rare that popped before everyone blew it up.
"The database must be overwritten to implement the downscaling of values. As a result, any EXP accumulated between levels prior to 6.0 release will be reset to 0.
All classes and jobs, retainers and Trust NPCs will be affected."
Almost to 80? Your XP is back at just hit 79. Got 3 crafting jobs 75% to the next level? They're all 0% to the next level now!
