Apparently the AI bros are on another round of "Hatsune Miku is AI, checkmate luddites" so this is just a reminder that the singer behind Miku was paid and still earns royalties, and beyond that, Miku is nothing more than a MIDI soundboard with advanced pitch converter options, it is not genAI.

Terry and Mai being in SF6 feels like we're sheltering them from whatever's been happening with SNK over the past couple years.

Imagine bragging in your trailer that you have the most money of any tournament, while refusing to pay animators to make your trailer.

If you ever see me use white coats or other mostly white outfits, thank Rufus Shinra.

Not me squatting in an empty small house in FF14 for nearly 3 years now because I won it, but can't decorate.

First class unlocked glamour (Healing top, Aiming legs).

Any single player games I'm going through + any fighting game I feel like grinding at the moment + Sonic CrossWorlds. FF14 is an incredibly easy game to keep up with without playing it much unless you're a hardcore raider.

Dawntrail created a funny disconnect between people who play and don't play Monk. I keep seeing people who don't play it say it's overly complicated after one look at the UI and those who do play it know you just press whatever lights up on your hotbar, just like Viper.

So bright... #gpose #Elezen

Crunchyroll sure is failing at being more convenient than piracy lately.

I didn't take a screenshot every month to do a rewind, so I'll just repost my favorite gpose I've done this year.

Reuploading this to make it more accurate and add DoA.

At least it's not grave again.

I randomly tweeted at Yasumi Matsuno that I liked the Save the Queen story he wrote for FF14 and he for some reason replied to me that the story won't continue, which made the news for a few days.

Be sure to leave a glass of milk and Swiss rolls out for the Judge tonight.

Merry Christmas (Eve is the main day here). #gpose #Elezen

FF14 has the best Christmas event music. Nothing gets me in the mood as much as the Starlight theme.

They might have just made my new favorite trial in FF14.

One of the things I like the most about Arc System Works games is that people actually pick different characters there. Going online in Street Fighter or Tekken comes with fighting the same few characters over and over again and it makes the fatigue set in faster.

Got Legend rank in CrossWorlds.

Miary Zo is fun enough to grind the rest of this battle pass with, but man... my biggest worry for when they add Julia is that they'll give her 2 new stances that get powered up by Heat and make her entire gameplan revolve around them.

We need to permanently retire "get that bag" and bring back the shame of selling out!! Sorry!!

They better put Julia in season 3 of Tekken 8. I'm so mainless in this game that I'm grinding the current battle pass on Reina, even though I'd never play a Mishima.

When the machine rages back and breaks down.

Funny coincidence that my top 2 games have a green moon.

Before the DLC for Persona 3 Reload came out, people liked to revise history by claiming The Answer wasn't hated by most people who played it in the original, so now it's funny that it was added to the remake and people are like "Oh yeah, the non-stop dungeon crawling *did* suck."

I remember when I first beat FF Tactics, I had to process the ending for several days and now the voice acting made it hit just as hard.

This has to be in the top 5 RPG status effects.

Struggling to see why SE decided to add Tactician mode to Ivalice Chronicles. There's not much tactical about it, since it's just a "their numbers go up, yours go down" difficulty and the only tactic is to grind more to keep up with incoming damage. It's the only new thing I don't like.

There's no time when Monk has felt the most perfect because it's always had things I liked and disliked about it. I really like the Blitz system from EW and DT, but I miss having the most positionals as a core identity. On the other hand, 2.0-5.3 MNK had Greased Lightning, which I never liked.

LRP: While a lot of those people came out of the woodwork with Dawntrail, it didn't surprise me that much because one of the biggest meme accounts on Twitter was openly bigoted long before Dawntrail and still had a massive following of FF14 people.

god forbid you say dawntrail isnt bad then transphobic people come out the wood work saying how trash the expansion is and purposely misgender actors. crazy. but mostly an actress.

I got to illustrate a piece of Elidibus the Ascian for @ffxivthemiszine.bsky.social! I really loved the story with the Warriors of Darkness so I wanted to do an illustration for it! Leftover sales are happening right now, check it out! #ffxiv #themis #elidibus #ramyeonguksu #ffxivart

I'm only on chapter 6 on Granblue Fantasy Relink and I can't believe it didn't get nominated for any awards at last year's TGA. The MSQ feels like such a nice classic RPG and the boss fights are amazing. Not to mention how pretty it looks. And I haven't even touched the Monster Hunter part of it.

Sega's matchmaking really went "screw her in particular".

One of the best parts about Tactics being out on current gen is reliving the community aspect. It's through the subreddit instead of forums, but it's still cool to see people share strategies and discuss the story again. They even made a really handy database site where you can access all the info.

Happy Halloween! #gpose #Elezen

Spooky silhouette waiting for Halloween.

RIP Littlejohn the Black Mage. He died as he lived, unpaid.

I don't think my usual FFT strategy of "use Ramza + 2 generics until I start getting NPCs" is working out that well on Tactician. I'm running out of ways to BS my way through chapter 1 because the damage output from enemies is crazy.

The fact that they gave Zero Midlander animations when you transfigure into her during All Saints' Wake is funny because it's such a contrast with her personality. I think she has a completely unique model normally, so this was their compromise to make emotes work on her.

Since Dragon Age is pretty much a dead IP now, I've been trying to get to Veilguard and wrap up my journey with the series, but first I have to replay Inquisition so I can do the DLC. It's so hard to get over how even basic movement in this game feels so stiff and awkward compared to Origins and 2.
