Also different heights make the high five emote funny. Looks (and sounds) like Im slapping my friends lol

See this wouldn't be that bad, but only if they don't shorten it in 3D modeling. Long as it stays that way or longer it'll be great and something people would like. It just has to cover the entire back of the neck.

Expert Crafting feels overtuned this time around. Overmelded, food, tea, and a specialist, and I'm still struggling to get over the 5800 mark for turn-ins, getting only around 5300-5600 every time.

Two more. This, and the ponytail.

Umm, I'm not really fond of the two remaining contest hairstyles. I've been waiting for a long hairstyle with a fringe for years now, and knowing that the next year will be occupied by the contest ones makes me a bit sad ;_;

My only hope is that SE will decide to release Ryne and Gaia's hairstyles someday, but I very much doubt that will happen.

They seem too afraid of clipping when it comes to hair, despite the inevitability of such with their current engines.

I figured the ponytail that was added in stormblood was an altered version of the winner. If not, then folks after longer hair have 2 options on the horizon :>

Firmament is uninteresting to me, always has been. I get all my land/hand jobs to 80 at the start of expac, first two weeks.

I noticed this, too.

I'm barely scraping the minimum collectability rating most of the time and I'm using fully overmelded gear + food/potions and the same rotation that was rather consistently capping collectability back in phase 2.

The worst thing is that the maximum amount of points from each craft is identical to the previous phase so if you were planning on getting the 500K point achievements, it's now going to take much longer then before.

I can't stop laughing at how horribly pixelated the new hairstyle is.

Didn't even bother logging in to check it out. Won the Saint title the first time around. Absolutely zero desire to bust my balls a second time for nothing. Will eventually check it out and grind out the mount, minions, etc. Not making it a massive priority though as it's pretty casual content.
