I would love to say yes, given that his primary weapons are guns/gunblades. However, Roscoe's eyesight is not fantastic, so sometimes, his aim goes wide. If he loses his glasses mid-battle, everyone's in danger

Controller, I never played games on mouse and keyboard growing up and just can't get the hang of it. I was horrendous at XIV and constantly died/failed mechanics the entire way through ARR until one of my friends told me you could play on controller. I owe them my life

There's some really fun NPC dialogue in the Cabinet of Curiosities that I managed to completely miss on my first playthrough

Thinking about how due to a spontaneous WoL QOTD answer I've made it canon in the Brambleverse that Meteor exists and his real name is Roscoe. This is so stupid I love it

I was regretting not taking many gposes through our replay of SB because I was low on ideas, but now I realise it's a blessing in disguise since I've retconned the existence of Roscoe's eye stripe until ShB

The Amaro Launch

Thinking about Tesleen's rhyme about the Warrior of Darkness. I somehow managed to misunderstand it in both playthroughs - on my first one, I thought it referred to Ardbert, forgetting he was NOT the WoD in this world, and on my second, I thought it referred to the player character

I had no concrete thoughts on Meteor but now I'm thinking - since Roscoe took his name from a poster of a bard in Gridania pre-Calamity, wouldn't it be funny if that bard looked suspiciously like Meteor Especially since Meteor WAS a bard in the 1.0 trailer...

YEARS after slapping the black eye stripe on Roscoe and never having a proper lore reason to back it up, I finally have one!! All of Roscoe's lore now has a place!! 🕺✨

oh no I need the new wings

As someone currently playing FF6 I got a real jumpscare from the end of the new trailer 😆 If it's an ultimate raid, that's not content I would actually be doing, but it'll be fun to see. I also want to go back and redo some parts of Omega once I finish 6

PLEASE CHECK OUT MY FRIEND'S GUIDE TO SWANA/ARAB CLOTHING!!!!! ESPECIALLY FFXIV PEOPLE WHO PLAY THAVNAIRIAN/CORVOSI/ALA MHIGAN CHARACTERS IM BEGGING YOU. orientalism erases the true beauty of these cultures and their traditional clothing and makes these valuable references VERY hard to find!!!

oough all the awesome entries for the art contest are making me wish I'd joined (though I'm not entirely sure if it's for US players only?) Life hit me like a truck at the start of the year though and I had no concrete ideas, but maybe next time

Destination

One thing I've learned from levelling everything to 100, is how quickly I forget how to play anything if I put it down for even a short time. For the sake of everyone, it's better if I rotate between a very small list of jobs for everyday content 😆

one thing that always stands out about this art to me as well is the depiction of sin eaters as beings *with* a being clearly visible inside their mouths. like it's taking pains to highlight the fact that sin eaters are largely born of former people

I can't believe we found Roscoe's dad Hari's shard on the First

The original Fray was a vessel for the manifestation of the regrets of Roscoe's Azem, Euphony - whose guilt at not being able to save those they loved from the sundering persisted through 12000 years, to become an uncontrolled force focused on survival by any means necessary

Papalymo enjoyers make some noise!! 🧐 #Art #FFXIV #ARR

I've retconned some Roscoe lore which means his in-game horns will be disappearing (I have ideas for his changed horns but can't find any way to replicate them vanilla or otherwise, so they'll have to be art-only). Which has given opportunity for me to now be on an all-out hunt for goggles instead

Problem Causer x Problem Solver Basically this

It was my friend @strixling.bsky.social's birthday last weekend, and I made some lil guys from our FFXIV Brambleverse and our original Equinox project respectively, to go on her birthday banner and cake! 🍰 🎨 #bexarttag #FFXIV #OCsky

LET'S GOOO

getting the final day in trial roulette (peak fiction) reminded me of one of the best xiv posts

Has anyone else ever had a full PC restart after a Dalamud update? My computer randomly restarted itself a couple of nights ago after opening FFXIV - no BSOD, just a restart

It was my birthday last Sunday! I celebrated with my closest friends. @bexplaysffxiv.bsky.social blessed me with these adorable decorations of the Bramblewood family. 🥺

Most of my OCs get hit with the ace beam because I'm aroace and self-indulgent! Roscoe and Khali'ra are both asexual 💜

I posted the first of my Brambleverse drabbles up on Ao3! Very nervous because it's been a long time since I posted my writing online, but I hope to do more as we continue our replay of MSQ archiveofourown.org/works/82603636

I got my invite for Ao3 so I can actually post the first of my Roscoe rambles! I never managed to get back into my old account, I don't know what happened but I just never received the password reset email - but I last used it 10 years ago so I can't be too mad 😆

- Rise, burn, and be remembered - (-The Arcadion- Hiroshi / the CG Midlander Ver) #FF14 #FFXIV

Yuyuka's dad being flirted with, right in front of her salad??

Did Prae for tomes last night and forgot I left the glasses on

Have you seen him? Now you have 🧀 For March's monthly illustration my supporters voted for my Lalafell Roscoe as a Labubu - a Lalabubu, if you will. He is horrible (positive) and I'm now deeply attached to him. Please enjoy 🎨 #bexarttag #FFXIV #OCsky

Roscoe and Khali'ra are both transmasc, and Roscoe's Azem Euphony is non-binary! 🏳️‍⚧️✨

New level of immersive gaming unlocked: as Titan came back down to land a bus went past my house and my desk shook

Currently, Artificer, and previously, Echo Knight Fighter. They feel the closest mechanically and narrative-wise to MCH and DRK 👀

I like drawing vieras but I think the downsides of drawing vieras is how much freaking space their ears take up on the canvas

Frequently. His favourite is 'bollocks', which works for a lot of things, but he also enjoys stringing various swear words together in a nonsensical list - so it's often hard to tell how bad a situation is just by Roscoe's verbal response to it

new hermes just dropped in the form of herberin

I'm planning some design changes to the boy and every set of horns I find that I like is for female characters only 🫠 pls

When I first explored the Crystarium I fell down the hole where the huge tree is near the amaro enclosure and landed in the room below, and I'm keeping it as canon. It's too accurate (Roscoe bounced off some vines and landed in the water, hence he is somehow still alive)

MSQ replay update: it is time for me to have absolutely no semblance of chill

LRT honestly I thought Thancred and/or Urianger were going to be the final bosses of the first DT dungeon. Let us fight the Scions!! This is what I hoped for from In From the Cold too

thinking about DT fanfest and how Yoshi P and Koji Fox did that whole ominous "some of your allies will take different paths and might end up becoming an opposing force in your way" and it turned out to be just Thancred kicking a rock and saying "lmao sorry"

I'm debating whether I'm brave enough to post a Roscoe drabble I wrote on Ao3. I have an account on there but given it still has a Voltron fic I wrote 10 years ago that I don't have the heart to take down, I may just make a new one 😆

getting player commendation as a dps

The joy of asking if big pulls are OK in Mt Gulg and the healer telling you firmly not to stop until you hit a wall 😈

HECK YEAHHH I got my amaro!! 20 levels to go on NIN and then I have everything to 100! 🎉
