More of a question for the community here, but now that it has been released and we know a lot more about it, is anyone going to play FFXIV Mobile?

Personally I'm probably going to avoid it. It looks interesting and has some nice QOL features we don't have in the main game but it's not something I want to be throwing money at.

Not as drastic as the previous AWM.

To my fellow players, how do you handle raids with tons of activity? I’m struggling with keeping up with the on-screen action and not over focusing on the casting bar and timers. Does it just take time to figure out the cadence of the actions?

Game, Mog Station, Companion App and forums will all be unavailable during maintenance.

About time^^

Been trying to get shaders working through reshade in the game, no luck so far. I can use the CLI installer from here to "install" reshade, but the only functionality it has is for screenshots, and I get two errors from some things not being able to be read by reshade. Trying out different shader presets and packs just doesn't work.

It should be possible, right? For reference, I've been running the game through XIVlauncher for faster start times and Dalamud plugins.

edit: forgot to mention, on Linux.

OC looks like it's FF V inspired. I really hope the weapons look good (the hildi weapons didn't really do it for me).

Just a few hotfixes

There's maybe one fight that isn't the best, and that's it. In fact the amount of work they put into the effects and presentation is above what we've seen so far.

10/10 hyped for savage
