Honestly, my biggest issue with 1.55 is that... (Spoilers)

I’d echo this with a caveat: read a quick summary of 1.0 first. Everything in Coil is, more or less, built as an ode to what came before but isn’t in the game anymore. Final Coil, in particular, would make absolutely no sense without that step.

Playing through it, I never really held Alphinaud’s attitude against him. He’s like 16 during ARR and I lay the blame for his fuckups at the feet of the adults he was surrounded with that never bothered to try to pump the brakes on him. Like, I’ve got a 15 year old and he sure has a shit ton of bad ideas because he’s…

I’m played up to 5.45 right now. When do I get to the content where he’s isn’t ain’t shit?

You’ll come around even farther. He’ll be back again eventually and his further adventures are even better.

Binding Coil is something I would only recommend doing unsynced with a group and even then? Unless you feel like reading up on 1.0, it adds almost nothing. Without the 1.0 background, none of it makes any sense.

“I’m dying for some fucking folders”

Not gonna lie...

Same. I started FFXIV last January or so and got caught up a week or so after 5.3 came out and it’s really satisfying seeing Ash’s articles on stuff like this because it really cements some of the character development.

Not really interested at this price point, but I really hope this tech continues to take off. I have a cheap Lenovo M10 tablet that I use almost exclusively for comics.

Same. I was super into the lore of WoW. Haven't read every novel, but I'd read most of them at one point. But the point it was at when I quit (Just before the final BfA patch), I kind of stopped caring. Like, I knew next step was to kill the last Old God and I just couldn't muster the interest needed.

Te trials point is a good one. The trials get so, soooo good. I still sometimes just queue up for Pool of Tribute as a tank just to tell "DIBS ON THE SWORD" immediately.

FWIW, a prime testament to how fucking bland the end of ARR is is that I had to look up Noraxia, because I couldn’t remember who the hell they were. And I just started FFXIV a single year ago.

Drives with those specs exist, but they are not at all common yet. You need to have a 5.5 gbps read/write speed and the WD Black gen 4 is the only m2 SSD I can name that performs to that standard right now.

No, but the internal hard drive as fully swappable.

I don’t think so. From what I can recall, anything you own the PS+ and the store license for, it’s going to default to the store license, since that’s not restricted like the PS+ ones are.

Seems like a pretty simple coding circumstance. All of my PS Plus games are marked as PS Plus specifically.

Makes sense to me. Honestly, I’m impressed as is that it’s even coming as a PS Plus game. It being eligible for the free upgrade would’ve been a bit too good to be true.

You’re forgetting that PS5 isn’t the only market for these. Even if we assume that scalpers are sitting on them as opposed to managing to sell them (Which I find dubious as fuck, no scalper is going to intentionally sit on one as available stock rises, it’s only going to further cut into their profit margin), people…

This will, probably, only be a temporary problem. You can get a 1tb m2 drive for just over $200 right now, but those are the newest gen (Gen4 WD Black is the big one).
