Yeah, I too had short, but recurring lags in instances areas/duties these last few days.

on Aether here, ive been having reoccurring ping spikes of up to 500-600… my average ping is 80-90 without a VPN. it’s insane!

Did they change Aymerics voice actor in Shadowbringers?
It completely took me off-guard on NG+ <_<, he doesn't sound similar at all?

I think those were recorded at their home studios, which might be wholly ill equipped for professional voice over work
he wasn't the only one that sounded off in that patch, but iirc it's still the same VA

Word of warning for anyone who got the cookbook and wants to make the crab croquettes, it makes a LOT. We made it yesterday, and now we've got two bowls stuffed full of leftovers on top of eating them for two days. Maybe try halving the recipe first. I mean, they're good, it's just a lot.

The knight's bread is really good, too. Haven't tried anything else yet.

That feel when you finally find magazines, but they are stupidly overpriced.

The actual royal menagerie in Ala Mhigo is beautiful. I wish they'd add some of that coloring into the Goblet. Goblet remains my favorite residential district, but it has another layer of potential they can tap into, and I'd think it wouldn't be improbable to make the kinds of adjustments I'd suggest.
Adding just a little colorful veggies/bushes and some eye catching tile work would really liven it up a little more.

Yeah IMO Goblet should have more green color whether it's with moss or more cactus plants... But I can't complaint much because the pool area is already good scenery.

That feeling when you delete 50 hours of game progress, then they release a HD model update the very next day... Fortuitous! Looks like I can now restart with a better looking character! I might just have enough time to get through one game by Endwalker EA.. and hope to God the delay will help in it's release! I also should probably get around to opening my code or whatever for my preorder rewards.

Ah, it's so strange tho xD.
He sounds completely off and like a totally different character.

yeah it completely took me out of it too at first, but (spoilers)

the next time he speaks he sounds more normal again - unless I'm completely misremembering this and he doesn't talk anymore

I haven't bought one in years, but I used to love buying gaming magazines so I could get my hands on the demo discs and see previews/reviews of upcoming games.
