Yeah other than this weird thing where the quest made landing the ship weird, I have had anything totally break the game — though it did crash on me once. But the autosave got me maybe ten seconds before that so I loaded right back where I was.

Mostly I’ve just seen little graphical bugs. Like when you fly off world and the “loading clouds” show up. Sometimes there will be a flash of a big, black chunk of the screen that shows up for a split second. Stuff like that.

I wouldn’t mind if Kay got her own little series out this. She’s cool, and Nix is cool. I like them both.

I’m right in the middle of this game currently, and I do fully see some of the jank that shows up in this game. And it does have some issues (I couldn’t land my ship on the starting planet until I finished a specific quest, but the game doesn’t tell you this).

However, I’m finding the game pretty fun overall and kinda hope they iterate on this scoundrel idea and make sequel. I’m having fun sneaking in and looting all these places.

This thing is expensive, and I probably won’t get one.

But the Panasonic 3DO cost $700 in 90s money and that thing sucked ass, so this price isn’t something we’ve never seen before.

Sony does need to read the room, though. It’s a bit of a bad look.

$700 is too much money. Especially if you already have a PS5.

Honestly, if this means that the “quality” modes run at 60fps+ (and 4K but we’ll see) then I may be on board.

The 40fps middle ground right now isn’t that bad, but I’d rather it be better.

We’ll see.

Yeah that looks like quite a grind. Woof.

I heard from someone on Discord that there are 7 platinums.

Not sure if that’s wholly factual, but if so those are the rarest plats…ever?

Is this the same guy who wrote a big op ed about how the democrats should run Mitt Romney?

Kinda over this dude.

I just played this for about an hour, and it’s VERY GOOD.

It’s just FUN. Remember when games were fun?

Google Gemini: “Uhh…eat glue I guess?”

Downloaded this last night. Just waiting on the countdown ticker to hit 0.

Infrastructure Week will be next week, I promise.

How it’s been four years and Sony hasn’t released a dongle to solve this problem is beyond me. Especially now that they are releasing more and more games on pc.

I have my pc in my living room, and while I’d like to just go wireless, I’ve currently decided to compromise with a super long cable just so I can get all the dualsense features.

The OG still holds up, and I actively don’t want them to try and remake it into some 3D version. I feel like that’d kill its soul.

Healing is definitely its own little animal. My main job is Scholar, so I’ve had to create a couple of mostly healer specific things to help out. (You may already do some of this, so forgive me)

I don’t really use any macros for casting spells or anything like that, but what I have found helpful are three really simple ones that help with targeting.

The first being simply a focusTarget one that lets you set up, well, a focus target: /focustarget Since as a healer you are most oftes worried about the tank, I generally set them as the focus target. By itself that doesn’t do a whole lot, but then…

…I have two others that help. One that when you use it it selects whatever your focus target is: /target <f> So no matter where you are, you can get to the tank (or other focus) super quick for heals.

And the last one is one that jumps to whatever your current target is targeting. Kind of a mouthful, that, but pretty helpful: /target <tt> So in practice if you are doing damage to the boss and just need to quickly swap to whatever the boss is targeting, you can hit this, swap to a party member, heal them, and then press it again to go back to the boss.

Along with these are some settings that you might look into if you haven’t already. Control Settings -> Filters -> Filter Customization. In this section you can filter target groups by hitting LB + [one of the face buttons]. I basically 100% of the time use one that targets only enemies because you can always hit up and down to select party members. That lets me always use right and left for bad guys and there’s no confusion.

Lastly for targeting, pressing LB + up/down will select just enemies on your enemies list (this is obviously super handy for tanks). And LB + right/left will target Alliance members on other parties. So if you see that some healers are down on another team, that’s the shortcut to cycle through those members to help.

And then lastly lastly: there are some extra crossbars you can put up on the screen at all times under the Custom tab of Hotbar Settings. You may already know about these at this point, though.

So anyway, again, if you already know these things, then obviously feel free to ignore. But I hope at least some part of that helps a little.

There’s a community at !finalfantasyxiv@lemmy.world if you guys have any questions.

I’ll also say that if you are using KB/M to try a controller for a little bit, too. You’ll be surprised at how well it works. I can’t even play this game with a KB/M setup it’s so foreign to me.

My friends and I started with the 2.0 beta, and it’s wild to me that I’ve now played one game in three decades of my life (started when I was 29 and we are now into year 11).

Gonna be in a retirement home grinding to level 250 or whatever.

I’ve done that as well, myself.

I already have every job to at least 60, and several to at least 90, so fortunately I’m not starting from scratch. But it’ll be a journey.

I have realized, though, that I’ll be able to get at least one mount from centurio seals from doing the level 60 hunts. I didn’t know about that until I started.

Yeah for real.

Just gotta wait another couple years. In the meantime, I guess I’m getting all my FF14 jobs to level 100.

I mean, I agree that I’d rather have 60fps be the standard with the better graphics.

But that’s the argument that the other person should have made rather than “they are locked at 30 and they suck” since technically that’s not true (on either counts if you enjoyed the games).
