Apparently Paladin’s cover is enough to spare the life of a healer as well. So if you have a Paladin tank, one healer in that alliance can sac themselves while the other gets shielded through it and can quickly start bringing others back up.
Just wanted to remind folks looking at the job changes that potency numbers you see may not always mean the same thing from job to job.
Potency is meant to give you a sense of how powerful certain abilities in a kit are compared to another, but potencies across jobs are not always equal. A Paladin potency may not be the same as a Samurai potency may not be the same as a Sage potency, etc.
To me, the most unrealistic part of that ad is not the edge to edge displays, or the holograms emanating from them, or the overall inefficiency of it all, but rather just that you could never have a place that full of screens without ads being everywhere.
I remember first watching that video on my first smartphone and thinking “When will they ever make a phone without bezels?” And now they pretty much have, but my experience was not some artistic interface full of aesthetically pleasing data and art. It was a YouTube video completely surrounded by ad content.
I’d take this option over what they did last time for the same mount, where I had to spend way too much money on candy bars I don’t even like, send them a photograph of a receipt, and then wait several days for someone to look at it and go “Ok, here’s your mount code”
I love this one. Usually you’d expect Black Mage to be depicted as a god of destruction, but this time they opted for adorable. I dig the sorta papercraft style they were going for, too.
They can change their logo to whatever they want but actually calling it “MTN DEW” abbreviated and in all caps like that just seems cringy. It’s trying way too hard to be a “BRAND”, as if just spelling the word “Mountain” and using fewer capitalizations will plummet the stock prices.
This is the mentality I’ve taken as well. It is rare that prices of goods fluctuate so significantly that I am taking a huge loss by rebuying. I only stock up on a few things like monster materials that are a pain to farm on demand and (for that reason) tend to be pricier on the market boards, but Botany and Mining, I either buy back from the markets or put on a good show on my other monitor and farm in bulk when I need a lot.
If anyone is planning to maximize EXP gains on day 1 for new jobs or whatever job you are taking through the MSQ, there’s prep you can do this week and on Tuesday to start with a good leg up.
In sum, on one day, you get EXP for:
2 Wondrous Tails
9 Pixie Quests (3 must be for a current job)
9 Arkasodara Quests (3 must be for a current job)
That should get you about 2 levels with relatively low effort, and then you still have your roulettes and weekly challenges available for more EXP. Though if you want to do roulettes, pick something role-agnostic like Frontlines or make sure you have a healer/tank friend to group with, because those DPS queues are going to be LONG.
Other than that, my FC has over 2 weeks of Rank 3 EXP buffs available, and the job quests themselves should help get some good starting EXP as well.
And remember that Azeyma’s earring gives you bonus EXP up to and including level 90, so feel free to swap out your level 90 earring for a level to get bonus EXP until 91.
I wouldn’t bet on the new jobs getting Manderville relics, unfortunately. They don’t typically add old relics for new jobs. Sadly no Bozja relics for Reaper or Sage, for instance.
Mommy? Sorry. Mommy? Sorry.
Nice to see some Duskwight representation!

It’s just a shame that they failed to see what made the original Wii Sports so successful: it came with the console.
If they had Switch Sports available on day 1, free for all Switch owners, and then added DLC on top of that, they’d have made a mint.
the main difference in many third party Switch games compared to their MS/Sony counterparts is mostly just running at 30 vs 60 FPS with no other major graphical or gameplay changes.
I would disagree on this point.
Many third party games that release on Sony/Microsoft consoles and Switch do feature noticeably downgraded graphics, even comparing PS4/Xbox One to the Switch. Whether that prevents someone from enjoying those games is entirely down to personal preference, but I think it is disingenuous to say that the framerate and resolution are the only differences.
Take a look at the Digital Foundry comparison between The Witcher 3 on Switch versus (standard) PS4 and you’ll see a good example of all the optimizations and trimming that they had to do to get the Switch version running at passable framerates. It still runs well, and it’s still a fun game, but if someone is looking for high visual fidelity, they’d be better served with any other platform (and notably, the PS5/Xbox Series received visual enhancements to take advantage of the better hardware for their respective ports of the game).
It’s not as common as the Wii days, but the Switch still does see neutered versions of some games ported to the system. Kingdom Hearts 3, for example, doesn’t even run on the console. The Switch just streams it from the cloud. So when those servers eventually go down, that’s it, no more game. It’ll be effectively un-released. EA never stopped the old strategy for their FIFA games either (while they still had the rights to that franchise) where the Switch versions of the game were simply missing features available on other platforms for some arbitrary reason.
This was the surprise of the Direct for me. Beautiful style, and the gameplay seems very reminiscent of Ori, which I loved.
Fair, but not-shitty companies eventually become shitty companies in almost every circumstance. I hate making the argument that someone is fine because they only hurt a few people compared to the guy who hurts lots.
Well, it’s not siding with Microsoft, it is Microsoft. This is a Microsoft game.
I suppose this scenario is actually somewhat reassuring, because the guy who killed 12 people deserves whatever misfortune falls upon him. You wouldn’t have to feel bad stealing his knowledge and memories, and could also go to the local guards to turn him in with the knowledge you’ve obtained.
Though good luck sleeping at night with the knowledge of what it felt like to murder 12 people with your own hands and see the life fade from their eyes.
Companies are never your friend.
Valve is like any other company. They’re as good as your money is good.
Is that in American dollars?
If those 300 games were even US $70 each which is exceedingly generous, you’d only scratch $21,000 as the cost of everything. Unless Steam was literally giving you $180,000+ for using their store, you’ve not saved hundreds of thousands.
Unless you’re referring to hundreds of thousands of pennies.
Can confirm, I was able to run it yesterday without issue. If you load into Syrcus Tower and people start to panic, just reassure them that it is no longer bugged.
That being said, every once in a blue moon I run into encounters where folks with the frog buff keep it long enough to melt the safety ice that spawns second, so make sure the frogs don’t get too overzealous freeing people.
