Every once in a while, they'll do something later in an expansion that makes me think they'll add something related to it in the next one. Like Fran showing up in Stormblood being a sign of them working on Viera for Shadowbringers, or the Manderville weapons looking like something straight out of Solution 9. So, my baseless prediction, based on the character we saw at the end of 7.4, is that they're going to expand somewhat on the character creation options.

They probably are, but I wouldn't take what's in the game as an example of what it'll look like. Fran's model was a horrifying stitch job of Elezen and custom textures for the head and gear slapped onto a basic monster skeleton. Wuk Lmao was the same in EW as well. Interestingly, Wuk was upgraded to an actual NPC model, similar to Yugiri who was cobbled together from a Miqo'te base with Au Ra bits stapled on, until HW when they gave her a proper model as well.

Sadly Fran never got the same treatment, she's still the weird pre-viera monster NPC. You'd think someone would go back and fix it, but we need to spend more resources on boring content.

To be fair Wuk and Yugiri are MSQ while Fran is some weird FFT cross over raid, I can see them not bothering to fix that.
 
Who were the people asking for a orchestral arrangement of Smile?
Why does this feel like a bait and switch with the first track being good and the rest being yawntrail shit?

Eurogamer Interview

I know literally nothing about Rage Against the Machine. What the fuck is this guy on about?

Morello is a champagne socialist grifter who adopted the persona of 'activist' because his biggest success was being part of Rage Against the Machine, which was known for their politically charged lyrics/videos (including one done by Michael Moore.)

The band broke up in like 2000 because they were drifting politically, so Zack de la Rocha (vocalist) ended up continuing with activist stuff while Morello and the other RATM boys hooked up with Chris 'an hero' Cornell and formed the slop band Audioslave.

Morello has always been a corporate whore -- here he is in a Red Hot Chili Peppers knock-off band called Lock Up before he hit it big with Rage, so him rationalizing this bullshit about being involved in something like this is just him doing the requisite dog and pony show bullshit to come off as the 'activist' he portrays himself as.

He is a talented musician, so fair enough play to him.

Came back to the game and idk if its weird that i was more excited for the Glam than for everything else. Also fuck whoever decided to make the aether step for the phantom weapon.

Its a clone of light farming from dungeons but with a more consistent reward. That feels just as bad as the RNG based light farms.

SE thinks that the weapons either need to be ball busting or literal freebies. Nothing in between.
 
Done with some shit IRL meaning I got time to play only to be hit by massive lag and/or disconnects at the worst moment then being greeted by a queue if 400. Having your whole party drop during a dungeon is whatever, but during a hunt train? Fuck that shit.
It is getting REALLY fucking bad, Square is gonna offer zero compensation and also take forever to solve this. At this point I refuse to believe this is a mere DDOS, thet must have introduced a bug thats making the servers shit themselves.

I think it is a bit dumb how they made it "one and done" when the idea behind this is to get people to do content they may normally not want to, imho should have reduced the aether required to a third or fourth and made the step need to be repeated for each weapon.

I think everyone finally clued in on NTT nodes being the reason why this shit's happening. People actively tried to ping XIV servers getting timed out when it hits NTT. Pretty sure they're locked in an ironclad contract with Square Enix as well, so there's no reason to improve the nodes.
 
The game is literally unplayable. In the middle of M11? DDoS. Trial roulette? DDoS. Hunt train? DDoS. Doomtrain Ex? DDoS. 2AM when barely anyone is even online? DDoS. Trying to craft my gear? DDoS, and my expensive mats lost to the void. I honestly think SE should compensate NA for this.

Edit: Also, this is like our fourth emergency maintenance this month. What the hell is happening?

I would say "called it" yet earlier I booted up the game and got hit by both a long queue and being unable to travel to another world, so maybe it was both things happening at once and now we are left with JUST the ddos.
A shame this is happening because I am enjoying this patch.
