    There's notably plenty of roegadyn in the far east along with hyurs and au ra, and no elezen, miqo'te or lalafell except travelers.

    Which lines up with the migratory patterns we know of.

    the roegadyn leader of the ruby sea pirates is the single most handsome man in the game, don't @ me

    He's not even Mr. Congeniality with Erenville and Hyth around.

    And FFXIV artists love them, so you can hit up Twitter and drink your fill of very pretty men.

    Much harder, though not impossible, to find art of Rasho.

    For the longest time, I thought Raubahn was a male roe instead of a highlander guy, simply because he’s huge, and is very attractive and… disarming.

    (I find most male highlander npc’s to look like cavemen)

    male highlander faces have a problem where they all look like generic anime bad guy caricatures
    it'd help if any of them had eyebrows probably, the best you can do is using the eyebrow facepaint

    Took a month later than expected, but there we go. Now time to go figure out which exterior decorations look proper up here.

    Those two are pretty, rather than handsome. Rasho is definitely on the far end of the handsome scale compared to most npcs.

    It's an important distinction.

    Aymeric is the exception by being both pretty and handsome, though.

    I love the design of the first 'bad guy' you meet in the MSQ after you leave your home city. This game can never have enough pompadours.

    So a certain Endwalker character shares a Japanese voice actor with Anya from the currently airing anime, Spy x Family. So of course, someone made some artwork:

    Sometimes you just end up in a party with seven people in maid outfits. And then have a tea party.

    The amount of content that is behind blue quests that randomly unlock after MSQ progress is kind of crazy. There's some place called Bozja and a Stormblood equivalent that I just never unlocked, apparently (I'm on 5.2 MSQ). And there's a whole series of trials behind some 70 dungeon that I missed. They could use some better signposting.

    Generally worth it to do every blue quest marker, but yes there's a lot of content out there. Eureka (for Stormblood) Bozja (for Shadowbringers) are absolutely optional side content, especially now that we're at 6.1. I would ignore that stuff until you've got nothing more pressing or interesting to do. Both places tell interesting stories, but also require you to spend many hours in the same zone grinding out special currencies and levels and it's just not that great.

    Stray thoughts/questions as I've been leveling DPS jobs up to 50:

    Dragoon: Finally gets a good 1st/2nd combo at like 46 when it gets the DoT jab after the damage buff jab, and another oGCD jump that does AOE damage. Not sure where it goes from here.

    Monk: Also finally gets a full 1st/2nd 3-hit combo around 50. However looking ahead it looks like I've not unlocked the crazy meta stuff with sun and moon chakras and stances.

    Ninja: I really like the flexibility of mudras. Although when I unlocked the third one, despite giving me 4 new combos (the new 2 mudra one and all the 3 mudra ones) only two seemed useful: Huton and the one that lets me fake-Hide. Are the others used at all? The ice one has less potency than Raiton and a debuff that seems like it'd only be useful on bosses that are likely immune to it. And the AoE DoT I've laid down a few times but I suspect just doing my fire bomb is more effective.
    I have questions about my rotation but I think it changes a lot very soon, I see a lot of skills that give/extend Huton, so I'm thinking I don't need to cast it with Mudras generally?
    Kassatsu: lets me execute a ninjutsu without expending the mudras. I assume I set up Raiton, hit this, then Raiton twice?

    Bard: Actually a few levels past 50 now, you get the 3rd song at 52. I think that made the difference, and getting their short-cooldown oGCD big damage arrow shot. Before that it was not enough to do between waiting for Straight Shot to proc. Maybe also getting an MMO mouse so hitting Straight Shot and the oGCD shot wasn't as awkward. I guess they're the weirdos that don't have a 3-hit basic combo.

    Machinist: Do they ever hold their gun right? Spread Shot is just sweeping a musketoon-looking gun right to left one handed, which looks stupid. They don't seem to have any offhand equipment, why don't they hold their rifle like a rifle? Or make the models look more like a handgun? Anyways, I like them other than that. I'm only level 40 here so I don't have a whole lot going on yet. When I hypercharge, it seems like I should Heat Blast/Gauss Round as much as I can for the duration, instead of trying to fit in my regular rotation?

    Once I finish Machinist I'll either do BLM+Healers or Tanks (PLD and DRK, WAR is already high level)

    Oh yeah, MCH is ridiculous. Just a lot of dancing around going pew pew pew and it makes zero sense. I like Irvine in FFVIII, but MCH is more like a Dancer with a bunch of weapons outlawed under the Geneva convention.

    Yeah, when you hypercharge you just mash that Heat Blast. You should get 5 blasts in before hypercharge runs out. Later you'll get Auto-Crossbow which is the AoE to hit during the charge

    I believe there's an active XP bonus when your at levels lower than the current expansion so people can catch up quicker. Think they also raised the xp reward for quests

    Yeah, you can do mostly MSQ with very little side questing and still keep up with MSQ level requirements. Especially if you keep up with the daily leveling roulette bonus.

    Eventually you get a trait that makes Kassatsu make the Ice ninjutsu gain a huge potency buff if you use the freebie cast on it. Until then, no its a dead ability. The wind one, you eventually get abilities to extend the buff duration, so ideally you'll only ever cast it once at the start of the boss fight. There's also a weapon skill that applies the buff in the 90s? I haven't leveled NIN past 80 at all yet though so idk how that fits in the rotation really.

    Yeah, it's quite a bit faster. Don't worry about wasting MSQ experience though.

    Main Scenario Quest, the main plotline -- the quests with the meteor icon, that you also can track in the top left.
