I feel really bad saying this but "no" I actually don't. I always feel bad mashing past things because my friends are telling me to hurry hurry hurry. Especially since when I've stopped to read it has been quite interesting. I have rewatched cutscenes in the inn room to fully appreciate those times I've had to smash past the story.

My favorite conversation in the game still is when Momodi was telling me not to call her for silly stuff unless it's about how well endowed men are. Probably because I never expected FFXIV to go there.

Shit, the Miqo'te companion's dialog is 105% sexual innuendo.

:/ Picked a male Hyur companion who always has a giant mage hat covering his face. He's got a pretty bubbly personality and I kind of hate his derpy attitude. I clearly I made the wrong choice.

Ahhh I completely forgot about the miner quest. Laughed my ass off when the "homely" gal talked about herself.

Did Yoshi-P ever say anything about the god awful parley? Please tell me that's going away.

He said he hates it too, so it's as good as gone.

@Alkar Other content beside exp (so dungeons and such), I think calling it a new system is a little exaggeration - not saying we won't get something new they could think about.

has there been any testing done on heals and crit?

I feel like a moron for asking, but are you asking about cures and critical hit separately, how cures are affected by crits, or crit rate of cures?

lol sorry, how strong (ratio) magic crit affects heals.




also, what are the stat caps for pie/dex on brd? Just got a skirmish bow and I'm trying to decide what to meld it with.

Caps on Ifrit's Bow (DPS: 36.74) are 330PIE/300DEX while the weapons around 39.7 DPS were 350MAIN/310SUB. Since Giantsgall Longbow has a DPS of 38.57, I'd imagine it's some where in between there.

As for your former question, I don't think there's been any testing. I believe at one point some estimated what the increase was from the magic crit, but I don't remember when or who said it, but it was long enough ago that I think it's probably outdated.

kk ty ty!

Found the test I was referring to. It was from 1.20 and crits were revised since then; take it with a grain of salt.

Unfortunately I can't quite get a formula derived so I just stuck to the oversimplified "ratio increases" explanation for now. Also, sorry I didn't formally test Curaga. Probably do MATK/INT next unless anyone has a request. You name it I or someone in my LS probably tested it. Critique welcomed and appreciated.

And oh god, that was supposed to be 330PIE/ 300 DEX for Ifrit's Bow, not 330DEX. Sorry
