    24:15 fun fact, this system was designed to make you play less. A lot of people invested unhealthy hours of playing in those game and the fatigue (or idk how it's called in wow) was supposed to prevent that. For wow i think, the backclash was so hard that they changed it : you earned an xp bonus that scalled while offline, so the player was rewarded for not playing.

      Exactly. In fact, the Wow system is exactly the same! You have a fast XP rate and a slow XP rate, and by not playing you accumulate more "time" in the fast XP rate.
      But whether you call the fast XP rate "rested" and the slow XP rate "normal" or the fast XP rate "normal" and the slow XP rate "fatigued" is fundamentally the same. Except...
      players like bonuses and hate maluses.
      People are cool with "first clear per week gives you triple the reward", and much less cool with "The first clear per week gets you X reward, every subsequent clear gives you a third".

    "Extreme roulette fights people were more receptive to advice" IS NOT ALWAYS TRUE. FEAR THE SPROUT THAT WILL NOT LEARN. Took us like 30minutes on Burning Embers, one of the easier of the extremes, because both healers were first timers who didn't read a guide, got offended when told they should do so before taking on an extreme, could not keep up with the healing, could not follow the instructions given, and then responded hostily when told they were doing it wrong and favored the term "don't be rude" bc any criticism at all was considered "rude" when the only reason we were dying was from them not healing and BLASTING US ALL ACROSS THE FIELD REPEATEDLY.

    18:30 THIS is exactly why the mentor system is bad. Most mentors have zero interest in actually teaching others and are only mentors to earn the mount. This is why "mentors" are generally looked down on as they are usually just try-hards who have done everything and just want 1 more mount in their collection. It's a shame as the true teachers who want nothing other than to show others how to improve get shit on just like the mount hoarders.

      I became a mentor for the mount, and I did my 2000 runs, but I also helped teach the content I was thrown in. I realize in not most mentors and I have seen some shitty ones. For me it was just as frequent to deal with sprouts that won't listen to guidance... Like at all.
      And it was just mind boggling at times when you get new players that refuse to listen to someone who's farmed EX fights at current. I've been bitched at for not explaining fights right away and for explaining mechanics before we start.
      All in all be patient with mentors as mentors should be for new players. If you get a bad one, call it out. If you have a good one, then don't treat em like shit. And for people who think mentors shouldnt receive a reward for 2000 runs....please.
      Thats my little rant. Not aimed at you or anything just a general vent.

      Truth be told FFXIV is going to take a backseat (we know this) when Lost Ark, NW, Ashes, Elden ring etc releases and so I assume his plan is to complete as much content as possible (probably try to finish shadowbringers) prior to endwalker releasing, but something tells me he'll be done at that point.

    Before doing Palace of the Dead Asmon needs to do Tam Tara Deepcroft (Hard) for full immersion value if he hasn't already. It's not the most challenging dungeon but you get SPECTACULAR horror lore that ties into PotD.

There are a lot of those floating around and he wants to beat an ultimate on a timeline so if he didn't unlock every single ARR dungeon/trial (ex. Hildabrand stuff) I wouldn't blame him. Idk if he did Amdapor Keep or City, or the Wanderer's Palace bits. From the videos I've watched I haven't seen those mentioned yet so currently I'm assuming not?

      TTD HM and literally all of the Edda shit is my favorite stuff in the game, bar none. Nothing can beat my first experience doing that duty at level non-synced, the storytelling and gameplay so seamlessly woven together and amazingly executed. The horror so visceral. I unfortunately never finished POTD or the entirety of the Edda quests to finish out the story, encountering her in POTD was SO cool though. (spoilers) I know she is redeemed, more or less. she was a puppet as so many baddies are and truly a victim top to bottom. While I'm never wild about the puppet thing, preferring a character's actions to 100% be their own, and their redemption to be a result of their own growth rather than some other entity being exposed and vanquished.. she is also a doomed character. she is dead and her life isn't restored just her soul is sort of.. freed from that insanity. It still ends up being a great ending. I hope I can actually do that shit in game at some point!
      but yeah, this is the story I pitch to new players the most when I talk to them, as it's something you get a lot of in MSQ but you do need to seek out more of it. It's so freaking good it gives me chills just thinking about it. the cutscenes at the end of HM and when you turn in the quest after freeing Paiyo Reiyo.. burned into my mind.

    I love that the FF14 version of Torghast is just this thing you can do if you want, or not.

      ​@@ralpbeez8414 It's mostly ARR extremes, or Great Hunt Ex. HW and SB extremes are more rare in general because at those points more people understand that using duty finder to do extremes is generally somewhat rude (because often, frustrated mentors will vent and tell people extremes are for premades or unsynched) or simply not worth the queue time and then disappointment of a group falling apart. Apart from that, it depends. Most often people are very willing to learn, but there are runs where no amount of explaining will help a player who simply wants to ignore vital tactics, and you simply cannot begin to complete that duty. The latter runs often disband.

You are a max-level space filler who gets shoved into the group that has been waiting the longest for your role to be filled up.

    One of the best thing you can do; found your own FC, get a FC house where you and other people can actually make personal rooms, and build the workshop. Then build + rank up the submersibles until you can send them on salvages runs (takes a few months to get them there, maybe 3-4) which can bring you things to vendor to NPCs. 4 subs can bring back items worth several hundred thousand gil up to over a million every 1.5 days. That's extra gil for little effort (after the initial work of building/ranking up) and you also have a house with as many Miqo'te maids as you want (whereas with a personal house, you get no workshop, no subs, no personal room and the possibility for only 4 tenants to help you decorate it)

      Asmon has stated on an almost daily basis that he is against cash shop mounts. He hasnt bought them on his WoW account, he doesnt allow them in his mount-offs. He doesnt even activate the free ones that come with his WoW subscription.

    On the Legacy character part, it is neat to see them still in the game to this day! My fiance's character is a legacy character. He's got the tattoo on the back of his neck, the goobue as well as the chocobo. It's fun to hear the stories about 1.0 and I honestly wish I could have experienced the original game, despite how bad it was!
    With those gil sinks, a lot of us in my FC speculated that it was Square's way to root out gil buyers! lol

    When I think about crazy S rank spawns, I can't help but think of the Coerthas Central Highland one where you'd just see a multitude of people basically suicide jumping into the ravine Northeast of Camp Dragonhead.
