... Am I missing something? :confused:

What in the world would auto-translating "We're chewing the fat." be used for?

---

It's slang for talking. I assume it's an entirely different phrase in Japanese, and they localized it to a phrase that means about the same thing rather than directly translating it.

Well keep doing T7 then?

If im reading this right the trials roulette just got alot more difficult to complete. Looks like they added garuda, titan, ifrit, levi, and moogle extreme and ultima. Good luck with that.

ugh. Too many bad people in Duty Finder to be a reliable way to clear extremes.

From what I read

Mon Hunts is gonna be like you are doing Animus Book quest?

"Go kill Garlean soldiers x10" and then you see everyone genocide them at garlean camp while you can't steal one of it? truly? this shit gonna happens again?

On average, a player would have to do 100 CT runs to get just an unidentified allagan tombstone? It doesn't seem right. Just like how ridiculous the drop rate for mirrors are considering i100 weapons are almost too common now.

---

Or maybe you can just read the text correctly and understand that this 4th chest will drop the jewel to craft Xande's throne and that's why it's not considered a loot for the week.

The allagan tomestone is going to be in the regular chests.

edit :
Oh, your translation is weird, in french it clearly states that the items that count as the weekly loot are equipments and upgrade items. Therefore the upgrade items can't be in this final chest.

Also, cf CT1

Edit: This was an unrelated observation. Quoted for the sake of keeping the conversation about this subject.

Well, look how much 6 tanks where needed in CT1 :) either clicking towers or just hitting things. CT1 was doable with 3 tanks.
