Yeah, looks like I need to finish this enjoy stuff. That first cutscene was great. Reminded me why I love the Final Fantasy world so much.
Actual, actual Playboy bunnies. Nice Japan, nice.So there's like 10 quests here, how do I know whether I've entered this lottery? Got it.

One nice thing with the classes that start past level 1 is the skills still have levels associated with them as if they were level one. So I'll just completely clear my hotbars, go into my action page and just build my bars starting with the level 1 ability, then build as the levels go up and pretend I'm just getting skills one at a time. Makes it much less overwhelming and I'll usually just plan out my buttons from level 1 to max in one go so I'll have everything prepped as I get new abilities as well and don't have to rebind shit later because a new button showed up and I want to put it in a hot key slot that's already full.

Finished the ultima weapon stuff. Too many unskippable cutscenes means I'll probably never do it again, but the bosses seemed sweet. Felt like they were probably pretty hard on release, but now everything dies so fast almost none of the mechanics mattered.

It's the Hildibrand questline - spans ARR, HW and SB. It's mostly goofy ass shit for comic relief. I loved every minute of it and thought it was ridiculous. Opens up some unique Trials and opportunities for minions and some nostalgic boss fights.

You'll be back there lol. MSQ roulette, once per day, gives a FUCKTON of XP if you get Praetorium and hundreds of tomes. You can't skip the cutscenes, but you get like 60% of a level after finishing it. Not bad for around 40ish minutes.
And ya, Gentlemen Inspector is Hildibrand. It is an optional jokey quest line that is really long - spans 4 expansions. You get lots of emotes, glamours, and unlock some trials. If you're a big fan of FF6 and FF5, you'll actually love the trials it unlocks.

Yeah end of ARR is weird in that those "end game" raids were originally around ilevel 50 or so, and by the time ARR was finishing you had ilevel all the way up to 130, which is what I believe it syncs you down to. So even though you're syncing to 50, the overgearing even synced is massive.

Plus there is so much of it. Most of the dungeons, trials, and raids have their own music. Plus lots of the bosses have their own themes (although an expansion might use a couple themes for dungeon bosses and share them...trials almost always have their own boss music).
There is also a lot of variety. You've got your classical music, jazz, rock music, electronic, retro, bollywood, vocal, etc. It can be kind of jarring to someone not used to all sorts of "modern" music in a MMO, but it works and the vast majority of it is pretty damn good. It's always funny to watch someone playing the game on twitch and someone not familiar with the game asks what album the streamer is playing, then they get told it's the ingame music and they're like wtf? lol

Yea the first time I really noticed how crazy it was was during the training wheels missions where it teaches you how not to stand in fire. Suddenly the brass kicks in lol

I would say continue the MSQ. I still haven't unlocked every Blue icon quest and I got multiple level 80s. I seem to find a new one every time I play.

I just wanna say, whoever wrote the code for the dialogue for those training wheels missions is off their rocker. It's so annoying having to wait 10x longer than it takes to read what the dude is saying. WHY? WHY? But the quests are great and the rewards are great.

Do you have to go check the golden ufo at the cactpot npc to see if you won the lottery? Also, I think I probably registered too late, being as I'm on a European server and it was like 2am when I did it. Is there any message that pops up? Or is it just manually go talk to the dude to see.
The drawing is at 8/9 server time on sat. So you likely got tickets for next week. But you can talk to the npcs and check. Or the saucer section in the main menu.

I got a tip saying I can add Miner abilities to my main class hotbar? But I can't figure out how to do it. To what extent can you do that? Is it mainly just for seeing nearby ore locations while on my main job or something? How do I add prospect and such to my combat job hotbar?
Lol I've heard that Final Fantasy 14 devs are made to play WoW to steal the good stuff and avoid the mistakes.
That can't be true though because somehow FF14 managed to create a TON of escort quests that are somehow 5x more tedious than WoW's escort quests. Lol what fucking MADNESS overcomes MMO devs when they make escort quests? Is it really just a giant lultroll?

When you do it again set the language to French and the cutscenes will go by faster and you be actually waiting for the other members to exit it. It’s only a few seconds difference but it’s better than nothing.
