Guest, it's time once again for the massively important and exciting FoH Asshat Tournament!
Go here and give us your nominations!Who's been the biggest Asshat in the last year? Give us your worst ones!
Late response but that place reminds me of the underwater bit in Bedknobs and Broomsticks. Something something along, at the bottom of the beautiful briiiiny sea... (Cheesy old movie that I swear everyone else dodged in childhood.) It is really out of place for the rest of the game, but meh, sorta fits where it came from I guess.

Yeah I finished patch 2.5 this weekend, so I am 16 quests away from starting Heavensward.It's never too late. Just askPharone . It'll take several months of solid play to get caught up on the story and into the current expansion. Once you're caught up you can gear up relatively quickly, though.
I got really burned out on the MSQ quest grind, and spent all Sunday just doing anything but MSQ quests lol. I got my alchemy from 24 up to 32, played some on my other classes.
I'll get back on the MSQ quest band wagon tonight though most likely.

Those last 25 quests before heavensward gets really good actually...it's where the FFXIV story gets real. It may have been spoiled for you over the years and the intro cinematic of heavensward, but in case it hasn't...dont watch the intro cinematic of heavensward.

Oh yeah definitely. The ending of 2.4 and then 2.5 were worth the grind through the post ARR content. I just got fatigued with the quest grind, but I am looking forward to seeing what transpires in these last 16 quests that make up 2.55 and lead in to Heavensward.

"...several cutscenes will play in sequence. It is recommended that you set aside sufficient time to view these scenes in their entirety."
^ Take that seriously when it pops up. For 2.55 I think it was around 60-90 minutes altogether?

Na it's like 45mins then another 15-20mins with a break between the 2 iirc. You can also go afk midway as long as you don't have autoscrolling(can turn it off).

Theres nothing more heartbreaking than getting your BLM rotation interrupted by having to move from a boss mechanic, only to lose your enochian buff that had ~2 seconds left ;_;
I assume in that case you should just transpose right?
BLM is a lot more satisfying than dancer but damn i get sad anytime i have to move around lol

You can transpose, but you also shouldn't hesitate to swiftcast Fire I. If you're REALLY late with the swiftcast delay you won't make it, but if you're like 1.5-2secs left you can easily make it, and it way less disruptive than transpose, especially if you get lucky and proc a firestarter.
Also it's useful to know how hard stuff hits and to judge wether it's worth it actually moving. Sometimes standing in shit is fine if it's not gonna hurt too bad, put a shitty debuff on you or stress your healer in an already highly stressful situation.
You should also learn the timing for spells to finish casting even though you started moving already. About .3-.4s, sometimes less sometimes more depending on the length of the cast time and your ping, you can start moving and the spell will still fire. This let you reposition and start queuing another spell without actually losing any real time and is known as slide casting. You can adjust quite a lot with this technique, although if it's a big aoe, this won't do shit.

This. Learning how to master slide casting for any casting job is critical for getting to that higher tier of player. That and it feels really fucking good to do too.
