7.0 News from Reddit.

They do be loving showing off their pointless tea time table models a lot since Endwalker. Can't have a patch without everyone chatting over a wasteful amount of food serving anymore.

If only they put the same care into modeling NPC house interiors instead of continuing the trend of hamlets with locked doors...

It's very possibly them pushing what they can and cannot do with the graphics engine, since they use Hildibrand for the very same reason (and he was not yet in EW). I hope it helped them discover something they can do in the future, even if we only see it as far as 7.0.

I mean if you don't read the text or let the voice over play, sure, 30 seconds. lol.

Nah, most of it just wasn't pointless and was equally accompanied by a good recap voice-over and text with some nice complementary images/flashbacks to boot. So yes, still around 30 seconds of pointlessness, if that. The remainder is just a nice story recap for people with a gentler undertone.

Not really any different than dinnertime with Aymeric.

I too am tired of the infrequent, 30-second tea-time eating sessions. It's too much.

'-' I mean, I was only talking about the one scene on the one patch due to the one-ish incident...
I even admitted it was minor and a half-joke.

He'll be our relic weapon If anything the potential for new and complex animations will allow them to make Even Better Hildibrand.

It's really just a more interesting thing to show than having everyone standing around in a circle talking at each other again.

It could also be a matter of what kinds of models they have on hand that make sense to show off for one scene. They must have so many food models from housing items, and they even conveniently have the "empty plate" versions to switch to by the end of the scene.

I'd rather they redirect these animation resources towards making the models on screen move more naturally like people rather than on the food. My focus should not be gravitating towards how beautifully they animated a sugar cube, it should be on what the characters are saying and whether or not it's contributing towards the progression of the story and/or their personal arcs.

Think of it this way, when they're able to reach a point to where they can animate that with no issues, they can start animating more important things easier, like hair, smaller facial expressions, FINGERS SO WE CAN ACTUALLY HOLD THINGS INSTEAD OF JUST BEING SHOWN A PERSON OUTSTRETCHING THEIR HAND TO GIVE US SOME UNSEEN OBJECT (I still hate this).

Random NPC: "Warrior of Light, I come with a very important missive from our leader, you must read this as it holds important information about your destination and your goal!"
Warrior of Light: *Suddenly dabbles in Palmistry*


On an unrelated note, does anyone know what job Krile even is? I'd like to say "Conjurer" because she uses WHM-esque healing magic, but her "weapon" is a purple orb.

Back in the Warring Triad solo duties, she was a conjurer.

It's far more amusing to me how often some of y'all make wild assumptions that all us Zodiark Trancer Cultists hate all the characters you love like some sort of hive-mind. G'raha, Krile, Zenos, all these characters inspire ambivalence in me nothing more nothing less. I don't hate them, but I sure as hells don't love them and I'm hardly obligated to no matter how hard they're peddled. Would that some of y'all on here could see that.

It's the how you phrase things and use wording that comes close to being for verbatim. Along with how there feels as though there is an extreme instance that how you see and feel about things is the only way. That even if they might be opinions some word such in a way where it comes off as passing said opinion as fact. Then some on your side have pulled back the curtain so some who have taken notice or been around long enough to recognize a pattern see that a select few of you only reply when one of you has reached a "must come to the aid of" tipping point. Where that doesn't happen mostly by those who are in disagreement with you and yours.

Also I'm fairly certain your opposition doesn't have its own discord. If it does then I'm not part of it. Which would be normal and I don't think I would want to be. I only use it because it is a tool to assist in things like running things with friends or to poke an FC leader that the buffs are down or the garden needs harvesting. I probably wouldn't even have it if it wasn't used for that or be the program that's used when the want for a thing where one might feel it might be easier to do with someone giving you a verbal heads up on a mechanic or two.
