Customize+ is genuinely the best thing to happen to XIV modding since Dalamud

2.5 and the Bloody Banquet... it felt like a whole world of possibility had opened up- if the writers weren't afraid to kill major NPCs and buck a status quo they'd just spent 80-100 hours building, ANYTHING was possible so of course they got cold feet and walked it all back

i do think its very fun that everyone in the msq (especially those in positions of power) thinks of the wol as their little hydrogen bomb that they can throw at ppl whenever they see fit and there is very little concern about the possibility of them getting injured. maybe the drk questline was right

Stormblood will forever have a special place in my heart for daring to present problems for which there were no perfect solutions.

it is so insane to see the current patches talk abt a populace radicalized by their avoidance of difficult subjects. and then watch the fandom & the story continuously tip toe into perfect resolutions so no nations are in conflict, no innocent person suffers from tempering, aether sickness, etc, etc

Gotta say: I've seen that "I wish WOL would get hurt more" post many times this week, and every time I vividly recall the mid-Heavensward backlash over WOL getting hurt "too much." Especially the posts/vids/"discussions" about how WOL getting drugged was uniquely "unsafe" for marginalized players.

i desperately need the world to understand that y’shtola is not the mom of the scions. she is the wine aunt. the mom is urianger.

Lho'to is good-looking in the way that people who take care of themselves are. Clean, fit, confident. He does have the nicest hair of all the Scions though (Y'shtola annoyed she can never get her tail as full and glossy as his)

TMW you're the only Au Ra in the party

anyone else ever think about how emet-selch was such an insufferable theatre kid as solus that his grandkid banned theatre in garlemald

I am sometimes uncharitable towards ffxiv's narrative but "you see, we voidsent celebrate halloween because it fuels our praise kink" is the kind of writing you simply won't find anywhere else

The sole surviving Scion of the Seventh Dawn, Guard-Captain Epocan oversaw defense of Garlond Ironworks in the opening decades of the Eighth Umbral Era. He was of the rare few who lived long enough to die peacefully in his sleep, though some wondered if he cursed at outliving so many of his comrades

Lho'to and Khulan are definitely not self inserts. In fact we probably would not get along at all! But it's fun to roleplay and see the world through their eyes

ma'am???

I like the challenge of working within the limits of canon. XIV doesn't lack for worldbuilding! the reasons behind any particular aspect of it aren't always obvious to the viewer, but I think it's wasteful to throw things out just because they don't flatter the player's expectations

Sage- my *actual* main, not WoL lore main. Good healers are always in demand in adventuring economies

I love when someone has clearly put a lot of effort into understanding the setting and creating a character that feels authentic to it. Appreciating good craftsmanship, essentially

Internalizing that not everything is about you. Or for you. Or made with you in mind. Or directed at you. Or supposed to include you. Or require your opinion. Or your approval. In fact most things are not. Being online is quite easy when you don't try to be the protagonist of everyone else's lives.

at the risk of being a buzzkill be super careful about what info you put out on the internet, especially where you work

My starting character, Gregarious "Greg" Cliff. I retooled him as Khulan's father later but he deserves his own spotlight. Traditional hellsguard, healer, gentle giant type with a big heart. Not a Scion but he set up shop in Mor Dhona to offer his services to them and the Adventurer's Guild
