    Such a great game , maybe time to jump back in and get my Bard rolling

    You need more than 400+ runs of Castrum Meridianum or The Praetorium not 35. You only get 3 Irregular Tomestones of Philosophy for each completed run.
    And each run at least 40mins since the cutscene unskippable now, unless you abuse the skip cutscene bug.

    There is nothing worth to get except for the Namazu earring and Seemingly Special Timeworn Map.
    Why would someone want to spend hours to gather tomestones when you can do undersized party and get the mount less than 5 minutes?

    As in he takes breaks from it like almost every other human who plays mmo's... myself included. I love FFIVX but I do also take breaks and Im in the middle of one now contemplating coming back. Currently playing ESO which I too love but their "expansions" don't really feel like expansions at all. FFXIV's expansions DO.


    More importantly, I wan't details of the class changes, not just a video showing them. I want descriptions, detail breakdowns, like potency differences, etc. of whats to come in Shadowbringers.

    Interesting leak. Kind of underwhelming and disappointed by the lack of Drk skills. Thats what I play.

    Cool. Currently bouncing between The Division 2, FFXI and FFXIV. Sometimes sprinkle some Skyrim SE in there too. Can't say no to those new mods that catch my eye.

    In War - Victory.
    In Peace - Vigilance.
    In Death - Sacrifice.

    I wouldn't even know HOW to go back and play if I wanted to.  Hell trying to download ESO and it's taken 2+ days.. I'm on 150MBps internet.  That's trash.

    I appreciate your answer. I ask because if I thought any modern MMO was great I would probably be subbed 100% of the time. I wish I could get into FFXIV, I respect the content they put out, just not my cup of tea.

    FFXIV isn't for everyone. It's more of a Singleplayer game, with lots of multiplayer aspects.
    By that, I mean the way it plays is like a singleplayer FF game, it's just multiplayer. Should clarify that. That's my opinion anyway :D End game is fun though! Raids that is.

    HW has been the best part of the game to date. SB was good, but HW was an extremely hard act to follow.
    Hopefully SHB will get back to the pinnacle of the game.
