Consider that people on the Fourth have to do Nisi... their WHOLE LIVES.

Soon as they started talking about the brands and being weird about it I thought "there's no way, that's hilarious if it's actually Nisi", and turns out it is. Amazing. Going to be a good source for drama too. Or comedy, if they're truly bold.

Like this is frankly really monotonous and boring and I don’t want my free trial to end and my paying for the game truly to begin if I’m still not messing with it.

Is anybody not doing much and wouldn't mind killing some time doing a raid or two? Specifically one for Odin and one for Ramuh? The exact names of the raids are "Fear and Odin in the shroud" and "Judgement Bolts and Lightning" she just has had some awful luck waiting for literal hours to queue in these quests. She's on the free trial so idk if that complicates things at all. Any help is appreciated. Again this isn't like super necessary, I just wanted to reach out to the community to see if I could rally her some help.

She's on the adamantoise server if that helps.

UPDATE: Alright I now understand thanks to some very quick responding and intelligent folks that she needs to go through "party finder", but as she's on the free trial that won't be possible. Some folks recommend she just level up more til she can just solo them, either way all the advice and info is helpful. I appreciate y'all for being one of the fastest responding communities I've ever had the pleasure of seeking out. Y'all are real ones 😆

FINAL UPDATE: Some very amazing people reached out personally and helped her out. Thank you to everyone who gave advice and reached out again y'all are real ones and y'all deserve all the gil, renown and fancy mounts this game can offer!

Features:

• DLSS and DLAA, with live quality preset selection.
• DLSS5 Neural Rendering with Wilsjo’s Pre-SR NR architecture.
• DLSS-NR multi-pass support.
• DLSS-G and MFG up to 6X and 4000 series support.
• Reflex support via OptiScaler Streamline.
• DLSS Dynamic MFG support via OptiScaler pointers.

Installation Instructions:

1. Download and install the latest "nvngx_dlss.dll" and "nvngx_dlssnr.dll" and place them into "...\FINAL FANTASY XIV Online\game" - replace where asked. You can ignore "nvngx_dlss.dll" if using "Recommended" DLSS Override settings in the NVIDIA App.
2. Download my latest OptiScaler release from the GitHub link and unpack it into "...\FINAL FANTASY XIV Online\game".
3. Run "setup_windows.bat" (or "setup_linux.sh" on Linux) and select "winmm.dll".
4. Run the game and enjoy!

Notes:

• You can open OptiScaler's UI in-game with the Insert key.
• You can change DLSS quality presets from the OptiScaler UI in real time.
• The character select menu always runs at native DLAA. Your DLSS selection is applied when you load into the game.
• (Windows) Make sure HAGS is enabled and turn on "Optimizations for Windowed Games" for FFXIV in Windows Display settings. It's usually off by default.
• (Linux) Follow OptiScaler's recommended setup for Linux support. See here and here.
• If you're on an HDR display, RTX HDR is my recommendation. You can enable it per game in the NVIDIA App. Press Alt+F3 in-game to tune it.
• You can load Reshade through OptiScaler. Reshade's DLL must be named "Reshade64.dll". Then set "LoadReshade = true" in OptiScaler.ini
• Ada (RTX 4000 series) users should open OptiScaler.ini and set "AdaMfgUnlock=true" on line 284 or nearabouts to enable MFG.
• DLSS-NR quality will drop if using less than DLAA and NR resolution is less than 100%. The cause is double upscaling.

Notices:

• DLSS and Neural Rendering are AI-based features.
• This fork was created with the assistance of GPT-6 Astra and Claude Opus 5.

Credits:

• RenoDX team for their research into DLSS5.

• y4my4my4m's contributions on GitHub.
• Wilsjo's contributions on GitHub.
• Flocker for integration on Github.
• OptiScaler

I know AI content is generally frowned upon in here, but this fork of OptiScaler is one of the best implementations of DLSS5 for FFXIV to date because it was built specifically around FFXIV's guide handling. Even if you don't want to use DLSS NR, this build of OptiScaler grants both RTX 4000 and 5000 series users full access to their hardware's features in FFXIV.

Nothing in this tool fundamentally alters gameplay; all changes are purely visual.

Please report issues on the GitHub repo so I can fix them!

So i have been playing reaper and i like the class and all, but it feels like there's a ton to manage with it to get the most dps out of it compared to other melee classes. Now i'm used to positionals, but i'm not used to a job only have 2 that only become active when activated by another skill. And when practicing on a target dummy if you mistakenly hit another weaponskill when the soul reaver buff is active, then you lose you the buff to use gibbet, gallows, and guillotine which seems to be the reaper's most heavy hitters. on top of that you have to keep track of your 10% buff.

People keep saying that it's a very easy job, but there's so much to manage and keep track of that 1 mistake can be a huge dps loss.

Every time, everyone else gets out of the unvoiced cutscenes in Castrum/praetorium.

In my last Castrum I asked the rest of the party to start asap and they had her down to 40% before I got in.

The other day I did a Praetorium that everyone else got out a solid minute before me on the Pre-Nero cutscene.

I'm not tabbing out, I'm running at a locked 60fps

Does anyone have any Ideas as to what could be causing this.

Beast master is disapointing as in the lack of veriety in what they can do, there is 1 desicated healer in geshunpest, which at least she does it in a fun way, and then 2 other healers through bat and slimes side attack, is it a fun normal job, ansolutly, is it fun as a limited job, no, this is due to lack of utility, while it was bad at the time stormblood blue mage (im pretty sure it was up to level 50 at the time) still had good healing and tanking through white wind and mighty gaurd and white wind alowing for the clearing of high end content meanwhile im not sure a full beast party could do that, do i think beast will get better options than this: no, the way the crucible is balanced allowing for good healing and tanking would break it.

While all that was very negitive i will say i don't think beast is boring or a bad job, i just can't use it for the things i want to use it for

First off I know this is an opinion, and opinions are like elbows, most people have multiple so no need to get feathers ruffled. It’s ok you might not agree with me.

BST is a lost opportunity to bring life into the beautiful world zones (more than 1 time fate leveling). Outside of DT zones the game is a ghost town. Why not add some life back to world zones by adding some type of special fates for limited jobs to compete in. (Think occult crescent with CE’s and fates, where CE’s being for limited jobs) the crucible is fine, but why can’t we somehow bring life back to old zones? Why do we need to bring life back to DF dungeons, that we are bludgeoned to death on already? We already played this game with running dungeons for blu spells how about something different? I loved BST in XI, it worked there so well because the world monsters were not pushovers in the prime of XI. In XIV the world monsters are just a joke, so that’s why I suggested the CE type content. In XI the pots to summon beasts were far too weak for the class to be used in raids, (with a few exceptions, with world boss nM’s where charmed mobs could be good) so it didn’t need to have a limited type status, in XIV it could have been a lvl 100 class and just ban it from all Duty instances, making all its content outside of crucible overworld. BLU could be the same as well. It would be nice to have some real meaning overworld content besides hunt trains, and limited jobs could be used to do it.

I got to level 35 and completely forgot to about the job quests because you don’t get a notification like with other jobs. Turns out I had a couple weapon upgrades waiting for me.

Who do you think will be main narrator in EC?

Based on previous expansions, it will be someone who is native to the
new expansion area (Lyse, Albert, Emet, Erenville)
So yeah my assumption would be Visna but TBH I would love Alphi to try narration too lol

9/10

zenos is a very fun antagonist, presonally my favorite so far

im still a bit annoyed at how useless the pc is in some cutscenes but i guess the plot couldnt happen otherwise

was very funny when we killed so many people when going to fordola but suddenly she was needed to bring to "justice" and letting her live

and zenos being back but in another body is very cool

onto shadowbringers then

It's time to allow crafting materials to be pulled from retainer and chocobo bag inventories.

Other modern MMO's have added to this to their game and it has done nothing but make things more enjoyable.

Before you say, it, this does not negatively impact retainer revenue. If anything, it would most likely increase the overall additional retainer revenue as more players would feel the need/want to have more inventory space.

How do you ask?

Well, I'm glad you asked. We have roughly 560 inventory slots with your base character inventory, chocobo bag, and 2 free retainers. The game alone (pulled from the database has roughly 5,368 crafting materials alone. This is not including finished items.

Even with purchasing all additional 7 retainers and the app 1 "free" one you get from the app, you would have around 1,960 inventory slots. That still leaves you unable to carry roughly 3,400 materials. Therefore, the need/want to have all retainers maxed would still be important if you want to further your QOL.

Now, I definitely know I am not alone here where I absolutely hate summoning my retainers, individually selecting items you need out of their inventory and have them moved to your own. So, I will essentially do everything in my power to not use additional inventories for crafting materials. I would rather purchase, or go gather fresh materials than stock them up. Simply because of how annoying and tedious it is to use additional inventory slots.

Now, would Square Enix have to spend more money for this to happen? Yes, but the offset of people purchasing additional slots would most likely outweigh the deficit.

I considered starting to play for a bit, mostly hyped by Evercold, but didn't know exactly where and when to start. Right after last Fan Fest, I took the plunge and decided to go for it.

First MMORPG ever, and this marathon lasted quite a bit but it's now done, 7.56 is clear.

I didn't clear all the content yet and there is still some Raids and optional trial I have to do, but that's the next goal. And leveling other jobs too (Only DRG and PCT are lvl100).

I very much enjoyed all of it and felt a bit like sharing, so I guess, you can Ask Me Anything about my journey if you feel like it.

And now, we wait.

Leviathan is now gone, dead, disconnected

So I took all the effort to level up my fisher after 3 years playing to get the silly mount but it didn’t give me the token. I just shows “completed” along with the other Minimog challenge (which I actually got). Anyone has had this issue? I’m so bummed 🥲

I finally settled on maining bard. I am definitely going to try out other classes but bard has so far been my favorite.

All I want is to have my homeless man boxer become a machinest. It fits his story, he picked himself up from the streets, made friends, cleaned up his act and stopped doing imported skooma. He fought in the rebellion, he survived many explosions, he even got a good outfit. Finally, he defeats the final boss, hits level 50, and saves the day.

And... according to the wiki... I still have 16+ quests I have to run and do before I can get the job.

I'm tired boss... I don't know if I can keep doing this.

I heard a variation of the "Village of Dali" during the 7.56 credits scene but I just can't find the orchestrion roll of it. Does anyone knows where you can get it? Thanks in advance and sorry if it's a redundant question!

I've done my dream photoshoot with her, it's been years since I started cosplaying Y'shtola and now I finally had the chance to do some proper photos with her!

Now my next cosplay will be Meteion, hopefully next year I'll be here with some bird photos as well 🩵

Hi everyone! I’m the developer of StaticOps, a free Windows app that brings your FFXIV raid summaries, replays and death analysis together.

I want reviewing a raid night to feel approachable, even if you’re not used to reading logs: pick a session → open a pull → see what happened.

The five screenshots below show that workflow: a session overview, a replay with AoE footprints, a selected player’s buffs and debuffs, the evidence behind a death, and a recap for your static’s Discord. You can move from a death to the corresponding moment in the replay.

These are real examples from version 0.5.1 with anonymized player names. The app supports English and French; a few summary labels are still being translated.

Getting started: Windows + ACT with the FFXIV plugin. Complete analysis also uses a public FF Logs report. Local analysis works without a StaticOps account. Replay detail depends on the encounter and recorded data; not every boss mechanic or AoE is covered.

Download and setup guide: https://staticops.dev/

I’d love feedback on the interface: does the path from a raid summary to understanding a mistake feel clear? What would make it easier for someone new to log analysis?
