วีดีโอ

I'm so looking forward to more of these discussions. There's a million ways to dissect this epic game, and all bring back fond memories. Even after a few years, there's many aspects and roles I've not mastered, and so, to me, Tom is remarkably relatable and funny. And Heather, you are just a Jewel. More please.

Vauthry’s final form was a metamorphosis, like a caterpillar to a butterfly. He was just as surprised as everyone else. I think only Emet knew what was to come.

Ok that's just awesome! I should probably get back to working out and listening to FFXIV music while doing it! XD

Also on the Truman Show, I remember the year too lol ‘can’t go any farther away without coming back’ is a line that’s stuck with me, especially when my sister moved to New Zealand, the exact opposite of where I live (his was Fiji)

I worked at Lids for years, sold Tokidoki and had some myself! Lots of brands do designs under the brim, just depending if you like the hat or not. At my peak I had over 700 hats….long story hahah

I have to eat one of those now

Very cool video. Gave me the energy to tackle the day.

Just got me one in turquoise color

Grats, glad to see youve picked it up in the first lotto period! Nice to see others put in deterrent bids 😊

Thank you Heather and community for helping me get home! Arrived safe and sound!😂😂😂👩🏻‍🦳

nice :DDD

Nice, you cannot go wrong with RK....

i just got mine on Friday and I loooooove it. I had an expensive older clicky Razer one and I have been ready for a change for a long time. this is so much better I can't even explain.

One really good thing to know about other classes (for the most part, only if you get into higher difficulty content, otherwise it just helps dungeons/roulettes go faster) is what their party buff icons look like, so you can know when to use all your heaviest-hitting skills. Knowledge of that can just naturally come with time without necessarily playing all the jobs, just by recognizing them when you look at your buffs and recognize ones you see and associate them with the sound effect the job makes when activating its party buff (they each have a distinct sound you'll recognize, once you hear a few of them go off, then you know you can start busting out the damage). It helps a lot with the support roles (Tank and Healer) to know what the opposite does well or not so well, so you can make up the difference, and know how to play around their toolkit. For instance, Dark Knight has a shield it can put on themself, and if the shield breaks before its time wears off, it lets them use one of their damage skills (that would normally consume MP to use) without costing MP. This can be hard to pull off with a White Mage healing, though: because their AoE stuns enemies, and stunned enemies can't attack the Dark Knight fast enough to break the shield before it falls off (I forget this whenever I go back to Dark Knight - I'm usually a Gunbreaker). There's a lot of little intracies like that in the game that you recognize with more time played.

I learned the jobs by playing them and learning on the go in dungeons and then experimenting with training dummies

Such a fun video to watch! I love how Tom just gets brought in and goes with the flow! You two make a great team! And both you and Tom have learned so much even since the recording. It’s a pleasure to participate in the journey! That is a really cool quiz to help learn the symbols (go Pimpy!). I’ve not made a point to memorize them yet, but playing more frequently with the HJP community has helped me recognize them better. Like you said, as many of us are changing jobs to meet the needs of the group, I’m needing to quickly identify who’s playing what so I can adjust. Indirect learning is great!

12:30 Tom's technically correct; but its Alphinaud's exclusive variant of scholar when taken as a trust before Endwalker. The main difference is that he uses a Carbuncle instead of a fairy.

I just recently pickled up tanking again after dropping it in Stormblood. I forgot how stressful it is at first but once you remember that your role is to just keep aggro and not die, it becomes super easy. I haven't done raiding yet though so that may change my opinion. If you want to try tanking, Paladin is probably the easiest one to start with.

I learned the jobs by breaking them up into their groups like caster, melee dps, tanks, healers, physical ranged There's also a ton of great guides for each class but Larryzaur used to make videos with 30 second breakdowns for each job, you may want to watch those to decide which jobs to pick up next.

Yayyy Pimpy! Thanks for making the quiz! This was such a fun video to watch. It’s crazy how far you guys have come in a few short months! When this was recorded you hadn’t even started Warrior and now you’re almost done 😮 A couple visual hints for anyone learning the symbols for them all (the classes you can ignore, it really only matters to know the jobs) TANKS Warrior is an axe head, like you said Paladin is a shield, they’re the only job that uses a shield past level 30ish so that’s easy to remember Dark Knight is a big sword, kinda hard to see with the Star-shaped hilt though! Gunbreaker is a Z, which really doesn’t make any sense to me, hopefully someone else can explain 😅 HEALERS White Mage is a cane/staff, their weapons Scholar I think is literally supposed to be glasses, which Tom guessed immediately 😂 Astrologian like you said is Tarot cards Sage is their weapon, the floating “nouliths” which really you kinda just have to know that’s what it’s supposed to be? DPS Monk is the 3 lines, I think it’s supposed to be a “claw slash” or like motion-lines? Dragoon is a lance head but it also kinda looks like a dragon head which fits Ninja looks like a throwing star, Tom nailed that immediately. (But also it used to be a move they had called Huton, which was a wind spell that raised your attack speed. Now the attack speed buff thing is just a trait and Huton is an AoE) Samurai is the guard of a katana, the circular guard called a “Tsuba” I think Reaper is supposed to be a scythe, but it’s kinda stylized and hard to see it I think Viper is two fangs, it’s the “twin blades” job Bard is a harp, you both got that Machinist is a gun, duh Dancer is a heart, but also I think it’s supposed to be the thrown weapons (chakrams) Black Mage you both know by now, but it’s a Meteor, which was a very high-level spell for Black Mages in old FF games and now it’s their Limit Break 3! Rarely seen but cool. Summoner is a Horn! In all the old FF games their outfits had orange horns for some reason and the tradition stuck. Now that you’ve tried summoner you have your own opinion on the horns 😂 Red Mage is a rapier, which is their weapon. BUT there’s a cool Easter egg that 8bit told me about: the symbol for the rapier includes both the Cane from White Mage and the Meteor from Black Mage! Which is fitting cause red magic is a combination of both. Pictomancer is a brush and palette, pretty easy And finally Blue Mage is an eye mask, like from a masquerade!

“What is my score?” “Not good.” 🫠

I DEMAND THAT WE GET A HOT POCKET JOB IN 8.0!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
