Guild Wars 2 - hidden gem for size content?

[BryTheGuy]

The Warrior class has an elite ability, “Rampage”, which causes your character to enlarge about 50% bigger, then get various angry smashing attacks. It’s basically turning into The Hulk.

[BryTheGuy]

There’s an area event where scientist students shrink themselves. You need to shrink yourself as well, then save them from the mosquitoes attacking them.

[BryTheGuy]

There are two “novelty” tonics which permanently make your character twice as large or twice as small. This is based on your character’s base height. So Norn who take the growth one become freaking MASSIVE

I played GW2 for a hot minute and I was so jealous of all the size changing goodness it had…sucks I’m so addicted to FFXIV. Mini is basically a detriment in that game, but sometimes I purposely throw myself in the line of fire to get shrunk >.>;

[Seru]

@Jitensha Don’t forget you purposely get vored as well, haha

[Jitensha]

@Seru Wehhh, I do!! I’m so bad!!

[BryTheGuy]

@Jitensha well the good news is the game doesn’t need a subscription to play. So if you wanted you could play both, without it costing you an arm and a leg

[BryTheGuy]

One of the Fractals of the Mists levels, Cliffside Fractal, has you freeing a colossus from a group of cultists.

[BryTheGuy]

Oh! Just realized I should show pics for the races. Here’s the smallest race, Asura, next to the biggest race, Norn.

[Jitensha]

@BryTheGuy Oh I know, I purchased the game long ago, I just don’t have time for both

[BryTheGuy]

@Jitensha ok, fair enough.
I think I was more drawn to this game because classes are a lot more free-form. You can choose what weapons to use, and they give you different attacks with different properties. Then you choose your class skills and passive effects and lots of other stuff. Its one area FF14 is pretty weak in, since the classes are pretty rigid for the sake of making them smoother to play.

[BryTheGuy]

to be clear, I don’t say this in the vein of “one is better than the other”. Both systems have benefits. Its just a matter of personal preference, in terms of what you find fun about MMOs.

[Jitensha]

@BryTheGuy Oh sure, I’m a whore for Final Fantasy, so it’s hard to pull me away lol. I played FFXI (their previous MMO) for 6 years, so I can’t see myself abandoning this universe they built. I’ve been in their MMOs for almost 20 years now, and that’s not even counting their standalone games of which I’ve played most of them! Damn it sounds scary saying that out loud LOL.

[BryTheGuy]

@Jitensha I’ve also played loads of the games. The only ones I haven’t touched are 2, 4, 11 and 13. My favorites are 5 and 12 (zodiac age edition), where there’s loads of classes and you can even duel class to make unique builds (which combined with gw2 really shows off my interests as a gamer).

[Jitensha]

@BryTheGuy Nice picks! Growing up my favorite was 7 (because of course, I’m a weeb lol) but the one I’ve gone back happily to replay multiple times is 9…so maybe that’s becoming my new favorite? I never played 1,2, 4 and 5, otherwise I’ve played all the main titles and most of the spin-offs.
