But but but(t) Cloth-Tanks are best Tanks! =P
Can't wait to see all of those manly, hairy, warriors running around in their togas.
I mean…sure it doesn’t look protective, but it does look elegant
I hate they're obsession with fuckinng cloth outfits and freakin man skirts as well as these half skirts that only goes for the rear. There's not even a good cloth physics. Give me some freakin full plate metal armor.
14:36 But it will gain beautiful colours then. XD
Am I the only one who loved the gear even as a tank main, they are super different and unique, I personally loved them!
Cloth is fine since there is plenty of plate everywhere to choose from
I love the armor glam variety. Sometimes I feel like wearing cloth, sometimes plate. Sometimes nothing.

As far as your issue with time traveling for the past, there is actually precident in the story. Elidibus at the point where you finally confront him has already proven that his memory of these milllions of years ago are pretty shotty at best. When he is going to send you back to the past initially he mentions that he remembers YOU at elpis.
The reason Lahabreha was so weak was explained by Emet in shadowbringers, because Lahabreha continually hopped from body to body without properly shaping them it took a toll on his soul greatly weakening him.
32:30 Because of this 2 in 1 video, I potentially figured out too much because of you 2's overthinking. . . aRgH
time travel is fun don't @ me
33:00 I had to delete the former post, since it possibly spoiled the expansion raid story rofl.
I love the Fending Gear honestly.
"Not a big fan of this raid tier's music." You mean the two tracks?
I have a female character and main ninja and i have to say, i hate the raid gear.
Endwalker spoilers below:
An important thing to remember about how time travel in particular is handled in FFXIV is that it's all relative and one timeline. So even if things happen in the past they were basically already destined to happen because their effects are already felt in the present. The first noticed point of this is how Graha came from the future and seemingly changed the course of history from what he had occurred in his timeline. Of course, he didn't instantly disappear after making such a pronounced changed to the past and we'll never know what happened to the time he came from. The second point is brought up in Endwalker when you speak to Elidibous in the Crystal Tower and he remembers seeing you there in Elpis. Now his memories were not erased but he did have memory problems being that he had become a primal who drew his power from many different disparate sources but the crystals we gave him before he got sucked into the Crystal Tower restored some of his memories and he clearly remembered seeing us in the past which is how he knew that he needed to send us there, even at the cost of the rest of his life. The third and most important point is Venat herself as her memory was never erased and she didn't have memory issues like Elidibous as she was clearly much older and possibly more powerful to begin with, plus she had a very strong sense of self being the previous Azem. She used this knowledge of what would happen in the future plus what was happening in her world as a guiding star for her long work to be done and thus does all of this form a kind of closed loop where what's meant to happen is going to happen because the pieces have already been laid out even if we don't know about them yet. The closest thing I can think to compare it to is the end of Star Trek: The Next Generation where Picard experiences a time paradox where he's moving between three different times and the actions in each one is connected to the other but not necessarily in a linear fashion. Case in point, the anomaly that was created by their converging beams was actually created in the future which is why it got larger in the past. I know all of this can be confusing at times and many people just throw up their hands whenever any sort of time shenanigans are afoot in games but the point of not only this expansion but THE ENTIRE ARC was the journey itself and not necessarily the minutiae that brought us to each stop along the way.
Not every tank wants to run around looking like a fridge. I have a feeling they will not overuse this, I have faith in the devs at this point. I think they have earned the benefit of the doubt.
They did the Jailer better, and they even pulled off a pretty good Denathrius, to be fair wink wink
Considering how this raid tier's theme is greek mythology, the gear sets look spot on. Granted, the tanking set could need some beefing up. And yet I think they look quite nice/pretty.
The main problem with this raid series is exactly what the problem was with the Nier Alliance Raids. Every other Alliance, Normal Raid and even Trial series dealt with problems relevant to your current situation.
Meanwhile in Nier's case, you could not shake the feeling that it dosnt matter what happens, because its basicly just a filler that has no chance of leaving any meaningful impression on the first,much less on the source.
There is no way, that you as a player did not know, that 2B and 9S isnt going to be a part of the story moving forward, they will be there for a while and something will happen that will erase them from the world in one way or another. At best you end up with a bunch of sad dwarfes that will remember them but you will never interact with them ever again moving forward.
In Pandemonium, the most impactful thing that can and probably most likely will happen is that Themis will end up as Elidibus and the Jailer dude will either end up replacing his father as Lahabrea, or you get to know Lahabrea a little better. What does it matter? They are both dead and gone in your current timeline so it literally dosnt matter what happens or what you find out about them.
My only hope is that the Alliance raid has no connection to Elpis whatsoever. I want the story to move forward or at least be relevant as a side branch of the current storyline like it was in Eden's, Ivalice's or Sorrow of Werlyt's case, not travel back in time and spend the entire Endwalker raiding scene just to find out what Emet Selch-s favorite food is.
He doesn't look anything like Denathrius. If anything, he was pasted from Symphony of the Night artwork and recreated in FFXIV's engine.
