@MittenzJRPG Over the last few years the FF14 team has made a decent amount of changes to ARR that make it feel a lot better to play. This includes reworking dungeons/trials and removing a lot of filler quests. The Dawntrail graphics overhaul also made old zones look much better.
@Daura_XIV My favourite thing about scholar is all the little synergies and combos with it's kit that aren't incredibly obvious. It's a shame I don't need to use most of them unless like half the party dies though.
