Someone call the White House. This is what winning looks like.

Give me a few weeks after BST releases to gather all its beasts and figure out their details and maybe I will be able to make your favorites work. I don't mod BLU because I am not spending time to RNG gather all its spells. This seems more casual though.

My next commissioner is apparently a fan of High Summoner. They've asked me to commission a very highly demanded summon sooner than I would have normally gotten to it, and to include it in my mod pack.

Dragon Knight commission is entering alpha testing. I almost lost a quarter of the mod from an exporting glitch. Thankfully, the commissioner who has been watching me make the mod (which I enjoy and encourage) has been reminding me to save my workspaces. So most of it was backed up.

*Motions vaguely at High Summoner*

More of Dragon Knight. Delirium Abilities and Salted Earth Combo. Liking how Nidhogg's animations have worked with flip book style VFX so far.

Second commission request. A full dragon and blue fire themed edit with Seiryu's Spine and Nidhogg, but blue, as the center pieces. Spent hours on main rotation, but they are so fun. It's subtle, but Seiryu's Spine has a whip animation that I edited for forward thrusts (Hard Slash).

Quiet for a little bit. Been working on a site. For years, for a combination of reasons, I did not accept commissions. For new reasons, I'll be accepting limited commissions. This is new for me, and I'll probably be figuring a few things out as I go. sites.google.com/view/soa-mod...

Slight change of plans for Chloromancer. The problem was I started out too small. Malboro is a great creature, but this is Black Mage! Gotta go bigger. So moving the Malboro somewhere else in the kit. Pulling in Titania's assets. This isn't going to be the only place you will see her adds either.

Puppetmaster has been officially released. youtu.be/VY_5Bl7xyWc

I feel like being all sappy and romantic with this one. My favorite sweet shots of Grell and @sortofarbitrary.bsky.social's Ulf over the last few years.

Been working on a new proof of concept: Chloromancer. I'm not going to make anyone guess the job. It's Black Mage. That's not the cool part. Hints: That's not a summoned asset. There's no special code here. It's not a morphing VFX model either. Introducing: flip book VFX.

Crimson Wizard has been officially released www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnam...

Do you also have a mount that you "always" use?

Okay, current final draft for my RDM mod's limit break after a lot of helpful input. Oh yeah, the mod, Divinity Reborn, is for RDM. It's still early in development. Getting the LB3 out of the way is a big part though and always gives me motivation to push through the rest.

Still contemplating the placement of the Mothercrystal. Does it make sense here? Does it seem like it's amplifying the attack? Does it seem like I'm dropping a nuke on it? Am I destroying it or is it a part of the attack? I really don't want it to come off as if I'm destroying the crystal.

A generalization about the mod community made every patch.

Psychic is officially released! youtu.be/E-BrzA0mlmA

Back to PCT and Sketch. Still a few more muses to show off. Up next: Carbuncle for Starry Muse.

So someone guessed it's Monk. The staff is the Far Eastern Journey Battle Staff, so I decided to name the mod: Journey Monk. A bit part of Monk is of course their combo.

Okay, final proof of concept. Anyone want to guess the job?

Finished Puppet Master pretty quickly. As expected since I knew going in a lot of the abilities would be minor adjustments. It was intended to be the final big job overhaul and I'd retire to High Summoner. But. This. It's just an idea for right now, but I've done more with less.

Now this is thinking with portals.

I didn't post a muse yesterday, so I figured I'd finish up with the elemental muses today. Here is Ramuh and Shiva. There are still three more muses to go, but this completes the elemental primals.

Proof of concept confirmed. My next project is going to be Puppet Master. I decided to confirm with the LB3 because it's one of the most annoying parts of this job. It has movement constrained, the shroud, and the avatar. So with it done, everything else should be easier.

Potential proof of concept. Puppet Master.

Unlike Summoner, Pictomancer has lots of summoned weapons at their disposal. So many, in fact, that I'm able to do what most Summoners have been asking for for years: All six elemental summons. Primal Sketch: Leviathan replaces Clawed Muse.

If you've followed the trend so far, you may have guessed the next muse related summon. Titan is replacing Mog of the Ages.

So this job edit has been in the works for a while. It was mostly done before I decided to announce it. Now I just have the HUD left. This LB3 just feels so good I want to share it now. I'll show the rest of the muses later too. I just can't resist showing this off now.

Second Primal Sketch: Garuda. I think she's a very fitting replacement for Winged Muse.

Someone guessed it. Pictomancer. Mod name: Sketch. And for my first Primal Sketch: Ifrit. Replacing Pom Muse.

How about another game of guess the job being modded. If you guess SMN, hi, nice to meet you, this must be your first introduction to my stuff.

DDoS moment Dwemer apparatus forces innocent Shezarrine to zero sum in the middle of kalpic liberation. I got disconnected while making this lol. Compatible with all races. Placed on the Facepalm emote. ko-fi.com/s/f3f451adad www.xivmodarchive.com/modid/153430

Phew, spent almost all day on this. I used to do transformation styled LB3s for MCH. I didn't want that for this. I'm kind of interested in a mounted combat concept. Mechanically I think I could do it. I'm not sure how viable it would be tactically though.

Still not Bard. Really taking a leap here. This is a summoned weapon. It isn't attached to the player. It spawns relative to the target, but shouldn't with it. The original intent with Ranger was to do normal animals. However, normal animals are meh. Anyone guess which job this is? Big hint here.

No, this is not Bard...

Finished. Now just more play testing.

Now just Earthly Star to go. Gotta work on WHM for it because it has several things on Liturgy that interferes with Earthly Star. Since Liturgy of the Bell and Earthly Star are both a single invisible summoned creature. So I have to work out separating them.

A little couple's pose for Christmas

It may not surprise some or none to find out that I'm not pleased with my original Sage mod. Blood is a neat theme, but it becomes difficult to differentiate and the rapier didn't really help New proof of concept for Sage: Psychic. And in my first throwback to FFX-2, Laser Eye for Dosis III.

Happy Holidays!

Learning how to use sub.pap to bypass action.pap offers a lot of customization. Barall replacing Collective Unconscious. I wasn't happy with my original Alchemist concept for Astrologian, so I scrapped it and am working now on this: Crimson Wizard.

Ritualist's dawntrail update has been released! youtu.be/9P1pQLqjf94

The feeling of fixing and changing things in the middle of making a demo video for a mod that is supposed to be finished already.

Archangel's dawntrail update is posted youtu.be/Tlbniv7jsvc

I've held onto several of my DT updates because of UI. After deciding to scrap the idea to do UI and HUD for High Summoner, I've decided to scrap the UI for other things. So much work for very little when I could put more time into something else, like High Summoner. youtu.be/Pl2f8Xwua10

With the completion of Zurvan, my Heavensward Content Update is finished and posted. I have no plans at the moment to do any other content from Heavensward. Perhaps once I get caught up on my plans. youtu.be/r0RAx88WlBE?...
