[ffxiv] Reasons why FFXIV is the best game: it knows the correct plural of "octopus."

I'm not really a grammar stickler, honestly, but if you don't think "octopodes" is infinitely more fun to say than "octopi" then I don't know if we can be friends.

OCTOPODES

Also Godbert, that's a reason for the game being good

Godbert is also good, yes.

good bert

I really appreciate all the Hatching-tide paraphernalia remaining present in this cutscene.

...did. Did she step on an egg, and now she is running around with it on her foot.

Hahaha, if only. The cutscene is not expecting the eggs to be there.

no it's canon now

aisthota was so surprised by this shady business that she stepped on an egg

well who am i to argue

OK, I just unlocked Keeper of the Lake, and checking, it looks like after that I have ~20 quests to go before I hit Heavensward, so let's sort out other side shit I should probably get done before that point.

-All the level 50 dungeons: DONE

-All the level 50 Extreme Primals: Only Shiva left

-I've got Labyrinth of the Ancients unlocked, I should probably do that and the shit that comes after it. I've never done a 24-man raid before so It's Scary, but it'll probably be fine, right?

-I just got the quest to unlock the Second Coil of Bahamut, so I should unlock that and I guess also do it, and also the Final Coil after. That's all 2.x content, right, none of that's HW?

-Up to the Ultros trial in Hildy quests, and it looks like there's just one "episode" of Hildy content after that, so i should knock that out, too.

-ARR Beast tribes: ahahaha no that's not happening before I hit HW, it's fine, I doubt there's any, like, cool story shit hidden there

-Getting my relic bow up to the Animus level: DEFINITELY not happening before HW. Maybe I'll finish the first book of that by then, but. Definitely not a priority.

-Postmoogle quests: --holy shit I didn't even realize how close I was to done with these GUESS I'LL DO THAT, TOO

I mean I think you might enjoy the questline that unlocks once you have all arr tribes nearly maxed but there's also no rush

the lv50 24-man raids are honestly just "follow the crowd, stand on pads and ignore mechanics" for the most part, they're not scary at all mention you're new and someone is likely to explain the few mechanics that can't be just steamrolled

and coil is all arr shit yeah

Yeah, I'll probably enjoy the beast tribe quest shit, but also I haven't been paying them much attention, so I've got the kobolds done cause I needed that chair and all the rest only about halfway.

So even if I make a concerted effort of it, I'm probably going to finish the ARR story quests before I even get one more of the beast tribes done.
