I Went Back to Anemos in 2024 - Getting Every Achievement in FFXIV #23

[@JennyCross]

Gods, the Sharlayan furniture... One of my friends (who might be a huge troll) saved every wardrobe and cabinet he found in our first couple of trips to Eureka. He said he had a plan for them and I, foolishly, did not get worried. Two days later, another asked me to log on and come save them, as they got stuck inside something when they loaded into the FC house. Turns out the troll friend made a messy labyrinth with them on the whole first floor of our medium FC house, and of course, left no open space near the door. So I came in and freed them, clearing the space around the door, only for the number of cabinets and wardrobes to double and cause the problem again the next day. I picked up and vendored every last one of them, and thankfully he didn't do that again... But to this day, he still occasionally drops a wardrobe somewhere random in the house, usually positioned to look like it's hiding behind something else. I have no idea how many he has left. Does he sneak back in the night to get more? Did he buy extra retainers to hold them all? WHEN WILL IT END?!?!

[@FizzieWebb]

Shades of an old trolling/griefing method on Phantasy Star Universe, Toilet bombing. You'd buy up a bunch of the "Cosmo Fountain" furniture items, I think they were like 10k meseta a piece, go to the room of the person you don't like/want to prank, turn on the place furniture mode in their room, and then just... fill every space you can with toilets.

[@AlleluiaElizabeth]

He sounds like fun. If you aren't the one caught in the maze, anyway. lol

[@JennyCross]

@@AlleluiaElizabeth Absolutely. It must have all been practice, because every time he visits any of us IRL, he drags us out to escape rooms. lol

[@rustyjones7908]

Based

[@Jachidos]

Jesus, I wish I thought about stuff like that xD

[@fandom_jumper]

I am sobbing every single time he makes one of these for NOT DOING THE DRAGOON STUFF! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-

[@Gooberzilla]

I admire the commitment to the bit, but to see all that stuff get thrown away hurts my soul a bit. :D

[@TemLightKiBlade]

@@Gooberzilla I'm not against it, but I'm really confused by the bit, usually theres a joke to follow or a reference, its just a weird thing he does for no reason I guess?

[@maromania7]

​@@TemLightKiBladethere is a joke. refusing to acknowledge dragoon is the joke.

[@TemLightKiBlade]

@@maromania7 well until we get the punchline, its like I said, a weird thing hes just doing. If it was a joke joke we'd know its a job he hates or a some character rp thing. I'm not against this, just probably won't actually be funny until we get to the 'oops all dragoon' episode in the future.

[@DameonStarflame]

@@TemLightKiBlade I think it's to do with his other series, Mad Because Small. Dragoon jumps could solve several of the problems his character has in that series, which is why he doesn't use it. I imagine that one day a punchline in that series will involve him finally discovering Dragoon and its jumps.

[@ugxsan]

One of my FC members came up with the term "inventory terrorism" to describe the feeling of opening lock boxes or dealing with the many, many tokens this game throws at you that should probably just be a currency slot, at this point. I now think about that every time I remember that my retainers are holding things for me.

[@paradisekiller]

A small tip for eureka - if you type in /magiaauto in the chat then it'll automatically adjust your elemental wheel to be offensive vs your targets! Saved me so much effort than doing it manually all the time

[@AyeNeNAy]

I actually have two macros on my hotbar for this purpose-- one for offense, one for defense

[@UnderADarkRock]

"All plants must die, oxygen was a mistake." On Arbor day LOL

[@Kitsune-Chaos]

Best QoL feature is easily the "right click the turn-in item" feature. Saves so much mindless digging.

[@woowar87]

Second this! Only just recently learned it was a thing from Cider Spider's videos too! XD

[@Ryukai-san]

29:00 Mine was finding out you can go into the General tab, drag and drop the Materia Extraction onto your bar like a button and it OPENS A WINDOW that allows you to extract materia from your gear with a SINGLE CLICK! No more right clicking every item on the character screen and searching through the massive command list for the extraction command.... 🎉

[@Ryukai-san]

@yurukiiOWO Glad to be of help ^^

[@gateauxq4604]

Well now I can use this the next time I go on a crafting bing 😭

[@trav3linglemon662]

I just learned this now. Thank you. May your pillow always be cold, may there always be an open parking spot, and may you have a lovely evening

[@aidanfury5097]

Hey man, I hope this doesn't come off as too weird! Every week I look forward to these videos; I recently moved to Japan for school and your videos have been a big grounding point for me in my new life. It's been a point of consistency for me and has kept me feeling grounded despite so much change. They've been very important to me, and I really enojyed them before I moved but especially more so after; it also has given me a fix of ffxiv since I haven't been able to play living in Japan. Thanks as always!!

[@DacianGradaMusic]

Some of my fondest memories of this game besides MSQ are indeed from Eureka. There's something special about that place, I did it fully years ago but was always afraid of BA, then I did that too last year and it was an amazing experience with the CAFE community. I do like Bozja/Zadnor, but there's something about Eureka that will always make me want to come back and I can only hope the Dawntrail zone manages to capture that evergreen feeling as well. Imagine an Eureka-like leveling system + better managed duels and equally engaging special raids + a Savage version. Would be a big W! Bonus: there's few things as entertaining as having full elemental tank gear and solo-spawning 90% of NMs in all zones. Truly a gigachad moment.

[@Strider_Shinryu]

Shout out to the Crystal Eureka community. Just finished Hydatos myself a couple months ago and it's still popping every single day. Oh, and I actually agree on the inventory tabs. I much prefer the separate tabs over the single page too.

[@Krazedcatluvr]

❤

[@RogueMage]

That feeling when he throws out the tyrannosaur horns instead of selling it to the vendor who stands on the docks directly next to the lockpick. :x For as many horns as you can get from thousands of lockboxes, the 1,000 gil vendor price really adds up.

[@DekuLuke]

Had a bizarre but weirdly heartwarming dream last night where Charity got added to XIV as an NPC and then in the dream I went to Twitch to see Cider's live reaction to the news (because SE didn't tell him they'd do this apparently?) and he was overjoyed to hear about it. This sounds made up but no this angry baby really showed up in a dream of mine.

[@firesoy]

reminds me of the npc "Osman" being added for the variant/criterion dungeons, and the only resemblance is the name because SE doesn't support characters having beards for some reason

[@TigeriPlaysGames]

that's awesome! I just had a dream about a new ygo card, a level 4 monster called "four guys running around with chainsaws"

[@Sarcasticmoocow]

I'm always excited to see what the video's "1 Like=1X" joke is. Hopefully you don't run out of ideas there for awhile!

[@NickNF]

Whenever I see you uploading a new video I genuinely feel less depressed for the next 30 minutes-ish.

[@divinedragoonkain]

You deserve to be happy. Hope things improve for you!

[@matthewhostetter8974]

Helping Cider get through all of Euerka is still one of my favorite moments when he started streaming. Sure I got the clear as well, but being part of what we dubbed the "Mad Baby Five" was great. Plus being involved in the first BA clear was a great feeling.

[@CiderSpider]

Have you cleared Eureka?

[@Bry4nMW]

I did, but they still aren't letting me leave.

[@TaurusVersant]

yes! I consider Baldesion Arsenal the most fun duty in the entire game.

[@StormyWitchnado]

No

[@boot-killer6852]

Everything except Baldesion's Arsenal, though I only completed one Eureka relic so far so I still gotta go back to get the rest of em done too. Some day...

[@irithider1078]

Add it to the bucket list

[@NiveusMilitis]

Julica is sending Sprouts out into the world? Single-handedly keeping XIV alive.

[@DarylDean82]

QoL improvement for me was Cursor Sonar, which is buried somewhere in the keybinds. I put it on one of my mouse buttons so now whenever I can't find my cursor in the middle of eye-meltingly flashy battles, I click a button and a big white circle hones in on my cursor. It's not a big thing, but I love it.

[@xxomega702buzzalini8]

I set mine as scroll wheel click

[@Mordak1989]

I also like having my inventory on separate four pages. But one QoL that I love is undo sort. Great when I accidently sort things I don't want sorted.

[@KhallStream]

My favorite thing about eureka/Borja is the fact that once you get strong gear it stays that forever. If you take a few months off or a year, when you come back your time wasn’t wasted, it’s all there. Miss that from XI. General XIV has that in the glamour experience, but it itself is also a bit different.

[@mkosler]

Old hat by now, but holding CTRL to move the aetherytes to top layer of the map was a godsend. Used to constantly have to zoom in to pick around the side quests.

[@pinstripedbarbarian]

Related: holding X to turn off other players' names so you can ignore the masses and click the damn aetheryte/teleport/MSQ quest giver on patch day

[@akiathered]

Can't wait to hear you explain why "Pull time is Crab" next week.

[@Stedfastwolf]

Hey PT is 28 at crystal. We're civilized

[@Dreveak]

Oh my god thats me on the rex at 10:28

[@PhoenicisEstuans]

best QoL I discovered semi-recently. Watching this series instead of dragging things from your inventory to the turn in, you just click the turn in then click the thing. changed my life

[@GwenYunDreiko]

Best QoL discovery : the autotarget function, really handy in raids when the boss becomes untargettable then targettable again. You can just mash your GCD like a lunatic and the game will automatically target the boss without having to click it yourself.

[@mystikpahndah1847]

I genuinely love your content. I use it side by side when i do my dailies. I cant wait to continue to watch every week. Your voice is just so .... transcendant.

[@valonquar1]

PROTIP: When you open the 1000s of lockboxes, the NPC right there at the pier that sells replica Eureka relics will buy your vendor trash. The gil adds up fast dumping the tons of duplicate furnishings\clothes\crap materia etc.

[@sweepingtime]

I prefer to keep inventory in 4 separate panels too. For one thing I always sort my inventory, so I know that weapons are always in the first panel, materials in the middle, and junk comes last. I don't like big windows opening up all the time. Right now the one QOL feature I'm always grateful for is the function to turn off selecting player characters with right mouse button, because I use that button to turn the camera and it's always picking up players at bad times during raiding.

[@Minotaur10]

Biggest QoL for me was Alt + chat type (e.g. p for party, f for fc, l for linkshell). Being able to reply and talk in any given chat without having to change chat channel completely was a game changer.

[@kartoffelhexe]

Can I just slide in here real quick and say that I really love that you cover up the chat window? Gotta love that respect for other people's potential boundaries. I know I certainly would prefer not to appear in people's internet content, so seeing this makes me happy. There's still respectful people in the world, after all.

[@Xaelroth]

You've pulled even further ahead of me :D I'm now 205 lalachievement score behind you. This week, I got sidetracked by Yokai. I finally finished making my Indagator crafting gear though, so I'm about to rake in a ton of crafter relic achievements!

[@KhallStream]

Btw, idk if QOL but learning that the NPC that sells cloaks and osodes by the boxes guy, you can sell stuff to it. Seems much faster than dragging to toss and get “some” Gil doing it. 😅

[@steveh1474]

its super fun seeing cider showcase a different bit of content almost every week, it really shows off just how much stuff there is to do in this game. its mindblowing sometimes.

[@DevilSeiji]

12:57 When I first got the baby leash I didnt use it bec I didnt understand it. Now everytime I use an aetherflow skill when I am synced below 70 I feel sad.

[@Tcj333]

Discovered QoL features for me are setting a gil cost limit for automatic aetheryte ticket usage, and the customizations you can do for individual HUD elements. Doing BLU content gives more than enough seals for aetheryte tickets, but I still don't want to waste them on a 100 gil teleport. An easy way to improve my awareness was being able to take just the enemy cast bar, and make it big and bold near the center of my screen. Setting job gauges to Simple is also nice for some classes; something like BLM with all of it's components is fine, but I don't need a big ol graphic for WAR's single resource.

[@PerchPrincesss]

I discovered I can remove that annoying "you are flying too high and your mount can't go any higher" sound and message when flying LOL I used to hate that.

[@nerdicusdorkum2923]

Biggest quality of life setting? Character based movement! Aka, fuck backpedaling! I want my character to actually turn around and run when I press s, not slowly inch away. I can run at full speed doing wall 2 walls, while looking behind me to see all that angry horde that wishes to eat me! I can dodge gaze attacks by just simply pressing s after an attack, so I have 100% attack uptime while still dodging gaze attacks 99% of the time. Only minor thing to note is that I have long since had the capability to automatically adjust wasd to move in a direction no matter what the camera is facing. So I can swing my camera 180, and my muscle memory just switches from pressing w to s, while not skipping a single step in the direction I was going. If this is not casual muscle memory to you, this might be a bit jarring.

[@Geist1337]

Biggest QoL feature for me is... either the massive list of macro popouts I learned how to design, or hold Ctrl to prioritize Aetheryte crystals, to avoid clicking on all the pesky quests when trying to teleport. Or mouseovers for healing to allow for more damage output without having to switch focus back and forth.

[@Luckygoeshappy]

The best QoL feature that I've discovered is the ability to set an in-game alarm for timed gathering nodes. Super helpful because otherwise i constantly forget.

[@soulreapercaptain11]

I literally just discovered that you could link glamour plates to gear set, so you don't need to change glams every time you switch classes

[@SoraShadowdancer]

I still have no idea how to do that

[@soulreapercaptain11]

@SoraShadowdancer in your gear set menu, you can right-click a gearset (square on PS controller) to bring up an options menu. One of the options should say "link to glamour plate".

[@katarh]

Untradeable, but sellable to NPCs. My Doman reconstruction is built from the scraps of Amenos lockboxes.Timber? Recycled wardrobes. Leather bits? Recycled amenos gloves. Cushions? Recycled Amenos shirts. They paid me DOUBLE what the rest of the world would pay. Idiots! (I did not open 2800 lockboxes at once.) The greatest QoL feature is one I personally requested and they added into the UI about a year later. You can sort the list order of your retainers. Now my botanist, miner, and fisher retainer are all next to each other, and the battle retainers are below them.

[@aznhomig]

Eureka is my cash register. So many things farmable there that can give you straight Gil, it's great. I do hope the Dawntrail foray brings back some Eureka elements back, such as the elemental weaknesses and buffs. It's cool to be super jacked with the endgame relics in the zone, including the primary arm which gives an elemental bonus. Something Bozja doesn't have as the special gear only gives haste.

[@Xenmaru00]

i just hope it does something like a NG+ mode where you can reset your level so you can join friends who havent done it before, without having to like, either die a bajillion times, or have an entirely new character. That's what i need. i wish Eureka had that.

[@aznhomig]

@@Xenmaru00 They could have just introduced a level sync to let you level sync down to a friend's level to party up with them instead of nerfing the exp altogether.

[@Xenmaru00]

@@aznhomig *YES* they could and should have. You're absolutely right. Cause that's what you could do in FFXI. So for something that's a Homage to it why didnt they include that? Shouldnt be *that* difficult since a form of level sync already exists.

[@rowboatcop4451]

Best QOL i learned (i think from watching this series) was the existence of the Timers page

[@Iangenious]

Oooo man was just thinking what I was going to do while I waited for DnD (aside from farming yokai weapons) and lo and behold Cider descended from the heavens!

[@CaptainThief]

@17:00 Serket’s kinda famous on FFXI for being a big ticket NM. Sadly, NMs don’t have “lore” usually, so these FATE textboxes are an improvement, at least.

[@egettinby5173]

I WOULD say it was when I discovered I could scroll through the enmity list (NOT aggro) which made grabbing loose mobs in tank pulls a breeze; but sadly I switched to a controller about a month later. So instead I'm gonna say the different VFX intensity settings so I could turn all the alliance members effects off and save my eyes

[@ThePursuitToShuffle]

When I found you can limit the spell effects of teamates and nps, it was the best day of playing ff14

[@davidrivera433]

Best QOL, change - Apply color by role and job icons. Helps for those role mechs and when on BLU easy to spot job I need to mimic

[@youtousim]

+ When trying to teleport to an Aetherite on the Minimap that's covered in quest markers, hold Ctrl. + Blue Mage spellbook pages also save your Cross-/Hotbar for that page, so no need to shove around skills when switching from healer to tank setup. + Enabling 60 fps limit in the system graphics settings also enables jiggle physics.

[@Norbert_Sattler]

The XP bonus potions you brew from stuff given by Eureka lockboxes are quite useful, and also sell pretty well on the market, once you're full elemental level and no longer need them yourself.

[@joeobo1]

so for the quality of life thing, it had to have been the materia melders being added before i capped my crafters. before the melders, there was no way to put materia on gear without leveling a crafter. at the time i didn't care about crafting (saves and makes me so much gil now), so having an option to get me more stats and the low cost of 1000 gil per materia was a god send in my eyes. god i was stupid

[@mastergef13]

my favourite QoL setting has to be the ability to stop gear pieces to automatically go into the armoury chest

[@hugglez220]

Beat QOL for me (controller user) was finding this macro to set to my analog stick for sprint (normal and pvp) and mount so i can have a free hotbar space now. /mirror off /ac "flying mount roulette" /ac "Sprint" /pvpaction "Sprint" /Macroicon "Flying Mount Roulette"

[@jaeusa160]

The courtesy and patience shown by the overwhelming majority of players even when Eureka was new was quite incredible. It really only took a few days for players to understand how things worked, and then set up trains, and comfy shout chat time.

[@Zanador]

Thanks for reminding me that I need to actually do Baldesion Arsenal one of these days. I'll get around to joining a group for that... eventually... My achievements last week: - 80 unique Leatherworker leves and 500 total tradecraft leves - Level 90 Carpenter, Armorer, Weaver, Machinist, Black Mage, and Sage - 500 Shadowbringers A-Ranks - 20 Archaeoskin maps - Desynthesize 1000 items - 190 unique crafts as Blacksmith

[@KGhaleon]

Oh yes, I absolutely would want to click through 4 different pages of inventory instead of clicking once to see everything. Those 10K gil pieces are a common drop from the fourth zone of Eureka if you want to just save up 100 of them and hand them into the Doma donation box for the next 12 months for a free 40K every week.

[@Kazagari]

Flashbacks galore watching this. Though I main AST, whenever I was farming it was as RDM (or Rez Mage) purely because of potential de-leveling. Can't wait for Pagos and Happy Bunnies! Murgleis is my favorite go to for RDM glam. Gratefully I managed to get all weapons past the Anemos stage, but most are waiting under piles of snow and ice to progress.

[@Kurinth]

Man I love eureka, It's my favourite content in FFXIV, It's my happy place, when i was in a pretty dark spot, it was the place I went to to take a break, just blowing up mobs and stomping around the maps to get my WHM weapon glam and helping friends through some of the content, so many good times. It's a relaxing place to just unwind, a nice slow pace to do w/e you, no rush to get through things and people are usually pretty chill.

[@aussiedragonz]

I'm currently leveling warrior for the Eureka stuff! i did it a little bit a long time ago, but because i play solo, i didn't end up doing too much. but i feel like i could survive better using the warrior class.

[@julianhcastro]

I tried the first time as a summoner and had one hell of a time. I'm only advancing now because my warrior is finally leveled up. Makes life so much easier.

[@lauraworsley7230]

Does make things a lot easier, I recommend

[@nanakimurasaki]

The best QoL I discovered was that you could type /action desynthesis and you'd suddenly have a friggin interface that targets things for desynth. You can even have it look into the equipment inventory and go from there.

[@ph0nez]

my fav QOL feature was finding the 'turn off swearword filter' button so i could finally let loose when i roll praetorium in the scenario roulette for the 5th time that week

[@OBXandos]

Seeing that Scorpion Harness brought back memories. I saw so many of those in Jueno you could imagine it in your dreams.

[@lanphrost]

I know I'm getting engagement farmed, but a huge QoL I learned about is macros that can enable/disable/fill hotbars. Basically you can have a utility and emote hotbar in the same spot, click a button to show one, click it again to hide, click the other to show the other, etc. Biggest QoL was of course expand inventory though.

[@raskalthesoft]

QOL? The amount of HUD customization is one of the best things.

[@scylla6666]

I deserved this channel about a week ago and got addicted to this series and I've been waiting for a new vid ever since. Love your content, please keep making them. Mad cuz small

[@scylla6666]

Discovered* i can't edit the comment for some reason XD

[@IianaDRK]

Best qol thing they added was the little tick to collectable items if you have it or not. Only took us 10 years to get it

[@joshplater3963]

I have a friend doing Eureka for the first time. He's not doing Relics. He's getting the TT cards. Speaking of which, will there be a video on getting all of the Triple Triad cards?

[@SephirShen]

(☘️ here) The most useful quality of life function I have found is Focus Target keybind and Cycle through enemies keybind. I main healer so it helps to be able to quickly target the tank and than back to the enemy.

[@Azizrian]

literally until watching this video i did not know about that open all inventory option. My partner recently taught me how glamour plates work so im finally putting outfits together

[@Vash_tha_Stampede]

I like that they added the 'undo sort' option for those times when I accidentally misclick 'sort' and fuck up my carefully placed inventory

[@ncpolley]

Personally, biggest QOL feature was just the recommended gear feature. Meant I didnt have to understand the gear until i was way more experienced. After that though, gotta be the copy hotbar feature.

[@Narrendor]

The QoL feature I use most is scaling windows up/down for visibility or just a neater appearance. Scaling up castbars as big as they can go really helped me when I was learning to tank years ago and I just kept it so that when a raid mechanic is happening, my screen will be like "yo goober pay attention." Same with debuff bar, scaled up for visibility. Also like simple job gauges for some jobs and the regular ones for others, so I'm happy to have the option.

[@rubyblooddemonking]

The hotbar micro where you can expand more hotbars in a single button, it lets you shove all the classes into one button on your screen

[@bajanoates859]

I like the 4 page inventory too, less overwhelming to look at. My most helpful QoL feature is the double cross hotbar for contoller. Now i can see double the skills and have quick access to 3 hotbars. It made playing a lot easier for me.

[@moverandashaker1996]

"What's the best QOL feature?" My answer is probably an incredibly stupid one but for me it was discovering that you could target enemies by pressing the Tab button. I played for about the entire first month by just clicking on things all the time because that's how the game told me to do it. There was never a popup or tutorial saying "You can just press Tab, idiot!"

[@xenorayy]

Best quality of life feature I found was not letting gear go to the armoury chest directly, it instead goes to the inventory. This is insanely useful to keep it clean and it's faster to get to gear I want to desynth, since that's what I do with all of the gear I get nowdays.

[@StmaclGaming]

So I guess a fun fact I was recently told by some BA experts (according to them this was only recently discovered) the elemental bonus that is given by the magicite on your magia board, as well as the gear you get from Baldesion Arsenal (the Physeos weapon, +2 Elemental gear and the Vermillion/Kirin chestpieces)? That elemental bonus actually syncs down depending on which instance you're in! In Anemos if you have a full set of +2 Gear and a Physeos Weapon, the magia board makes absolutely no difference to the damage you do, so you're always doing max damage/max defense whilst in that instance. In Pagos if you have the same setup you only need 1 Magicite in every element (so 6 Magicite total) to obtain the same effect. Apparently Pyros onwards where the Magicite is on your board begins to matter again. But it's interesting how overpowering a full set of +2 gear really is in the lower sections. I'll have to go look for another Eureka fact for next week now.

[@mrblackjacker32.03]

All I can say aside from having finished the Eden raids last afternoon is that I've got the Gentlemage's Umbrella

[@mssj4gokou]

I've been on a break from FF14 for the last month or so because I did ALL ARR and Eureka relics back to back (plus some SHB steps). Was a such a fun time doing Eureka. I would also, in your videos, note other items to help players, like Eureka Trackers for NM spawn times. Certainly wasnt fun, after each relic step into a new map, where I had to open ~3-5000 boxes of each zone.

[@vayneinsane]

Wow surprised this wasn't on the Yokai Watch event and the minions, mounts, and weapons.

[@BBrawler101]

Definitely going to be next week’s video. There’s way too many achievements to pass up there

[@traviswilliams2348]

Isnt it a rerun? He might already have everything

[@oleub23]

cider definitely didn't do yokai watch (he's a 5.4 -baby- full grown lalafell), but events like this also don't count for achievement score on lalachievements because they're not permanently available

[@arcanaobscura3519]

^this

[@owenwells7692]

I imagine he'll do a short video on it at some point like he did for the other events

[@TheYambino]

By far the discovery that made the biggest impact on me was expanding my inventory ui. Makes management much easier.

[@meriwidget3474]

I only have my inventory expanded once, not fully, I like having it separated too!

[@zackfair6203]

I started the eureka relic grind casually in November. Anemos was finished quite quickly - but the other instances just take so long! The sheer amount of crystals is insane.

[@GrandGobboBarb]

I was so happy when I learned I could split off the boss cast bar from everything and move it to the center of the screen and make it fuckoff huge. Also cone targeting. Also not putting new equipment automatically in armory chest.

[@jaeusa160]

@6:20 Oh the catharsis... as someone who had played Eureka when it was current, when I could go back with all my BA farmed Elemental stat gear to Pagos and take my revenge on those dragons. No, sleeping void dragon, I will not be quiet and sneak past you like a mouse. I will sprint at your face and slay you so that the smallfolk may ride their mounts through the chokepoints you sleep at.

[@acehealer4212]

There are lots of QoL features I've been looking into to make playing the game on PS4 more enjoyable for me. The expanded cross hotbar and double cross hotbars are really helpful for getting to all my actions quickly. Auto-target is also really helpful! I'm really excited to do Eureka stuff. But I'm only in post-ARR MSQ right now, so that will be a while.

[@sickleds]

Thank you for still showing the relics you already did!

[@Beatrix7979]

The auto skipping of previously seen cutscenes is easily the QOL feature I appreciate the most. I've done way too many dungeons, trials, and raids to have too see parts of every cutscene lol.

[@salemfae]

One of my fave QOL things is the setting for aetherite tickets. Setting a max gil amount for teles/automatically using tickets. I was clicking that damn confirm box for a year before lmao

[@azmakikian5400]

The only thing I hate about Eureka is the whole "2 level higher or lower" thing. It makes it so annoying to be able to play with friends

[@kedryng8205]

I wasn't a fan of having all my inventory pages open at once until I upgrade to an ultrawide display. Having so much more screen real estate made having such a big menu open viable.

[@ridleyroid9060]

Not sure if it counts as QOL but the ability to put the playstation markers on a hotbar has had the biggest impact as it has helped me clear DSR and is helping with TOP as well, for the playstation mechanics. Outside of that, the biggest QOL improvement has to be the pentamelding improvement, being able to just throw my materia all in the bin with one click is just amazing. Saves so much time. Sure the tension of doing it all 1 by 1 can be funny but it was such a pain in the ass.

[@wimbeedoodle]

Best QoL thing for me was learning that if you're on PC and you hold ctrl, it brings aetherytes on your map to the front so you can click them instead of all the sidequests you've been neglecting to do.

[@zakgodfrey2474]

the ability to resize any window, glam or menu is so much more helpful then you think

Quality of life for me is when I learned that on the map if you hold down Ctrl key it makes the Atherstones pop up over any quest markers or other things that are covering it for an easy click. Before that I used zoom in to click it for teleporting & I hate zooming in grrrrr....

I just did p12n the other day and I was so exited when I found out where TREMBLE! comes from

Honestly, I find the Expanded inventory view to be a nice middle-ground between the tedium of one tab at a time and the clutter of all four tabs at once. 2 is a good number.

Finally, Eureka! My favorite bit of content in the game. Still need to buckle down and do my relics.

I had a fantastic time doing Pagos a couple months ago on Aether - the instance was always packed, and I had some of the funniest conversations I've had in the game just randomly joining parties. I DO NOT WANT TO TALK ABOUT PYROS.

What quality of life feature that had the biggest impact on me? Being able to get on a mount when you have your companion summoned. Originally you couldn't do that. Then the devs were like: "Okay. We'll let you get on your Chocobo, since it IS out there already." Then they were like: "Nah. Changed our minds. You can get on any mount you want now." Oh... No, wait... That just reminded me of something else. Best QoL? ALL mounts can fly now! Waaaaaaay back when, if your mount didn't have wings, or some such, IT COULD NOT FLY! There use to be a "Mount Roulette" AND a "Flying Mount Roulette". Thankfully the devs eventually updated it so that all mounts could fly. Best QoL right there! :D
