  • Looks good to me!

    On controller you just target the boss, press the context menu button (it’s the square button on PlayStation controllers, like how you open your map), and select Focus Target.

    It’s helpful on other jobs too. If you’re targeting adds in a fight, for example. I’d say it’s especially helpful for tanks, SMN, and RDM. As RDM I’m often helping to raise people and not targeting the boss.


  • Lezcubus’s advice is great, but let me add a tip. You mentioned castbars, but there’s a castbar you should be focusing on: the boss’s castbar! Always know what the boss is casting, because that’s an important part of mechanics. You can adjust the target HP/castbar to make it easier to notice, or even split out the target castbar and move it around/make it bigger independently of the rest. And if you need to target other players often (as a healer, for example), you can Focus Target the boss and have their castbar up even if you’re targeting a player instead.











  • You got me curious so I did a little digging. My guess is it was never released, because Hoyt Axton did the theme song (My My My My Mitchell) but it doesn’t show up on his discography as an album or single. I suppose it’s possible they released a soundtrack without it, but that seems like it would have been even more of a flop.










  • I think this is the first time they’ve offered an XP earring for sale outside of a preorder bonus!

    It seems like a pretty good deal for new players who joined at the beginning of an expansion cycle and would otherwise have to wait 1-2 years for the next preorder earring.

    It’s also one cent cheaper than a fantasia, includes a fantasia, and is account-wide, so for a new player who already went through their two free fantasias and is looking to buy another one, it’d be better to buy this instead.
