yeah it's me. bi apparent, vaguely fluid | she/they ta'lia in #ffxiv
#ffxiv i enjoy my friend group's naming habits for criterion kill vids (they're all unlisted and just for our own reference)
Simone and I went to the mall today and it was well-trafficked and alive and I am always thankful for it. also we got dippin dots
#ffxiv nice to have the actual best title for a summoner/scholar, who (the former more than the latter) are quite literally that.
#ffxiv friend group has finally been around more to do our blind Merchant's Tale criterion prog and we got 'er done today. very good fights!!
i am being extremely serious here but one of the better parts of the Crystarium being Obviously an Outdoor Mall is it has those nice upper-level pathways that if they existed IRL would be prime chilling & people watching spots. even in digital spaces it's good to have uppies for the vibes imo
#ffxiv the REAL problem with Dawntrail is that we can't fuckin' go up there and have actual mallrat hangouts in what is unequivocally The Mall
#ffxiv i missed a couple weeks because Forgot but i can now do colonial violence on demand god lol
#ffxiv images i've sent the group chat while we blind prog criterion Merchant's Tale
#ffxiv trying an actual samurai-ish look for SAM (my main!) for once after having a more modern glam for like 3 years
#ffxiv my journey to make my pictomancer outfit as obnoxious as possible continues
this HEI News headline is something i think about with alarming regularity
imagine having the type of brain that reply guy-style joke corrects a Far Side cartoon. embarrassing.
#ffxiv really wish the Combat Guide were made more prominent outside of the Hall of the Novice UI somehow lol (like a separate menu item under Duty, or linked to in the Help bit?). pretty comprehensive for a newer person having a general understanding of telegraphs in this game
#ffxiv iron oxydoras took me SO long, holy moly. but finally finished 7.5 fish
they didn't "officially" announce it but in the first trailer the foresty bit they panned around in a) had some recognizable locations from Endor in Ep. VI that various video games have recreated multiple times and b) had a visible AT-ST foot
#ffxiv ok well i also finished class points. once the last round of missions come out i am like, actual-done with cosmic exploration
#ffxiv i am free (also: the quest for it was particularly cool imo!)
today's bonus fun was explaining to the other melee that if they're in group 1 they're supposed to stack with the group 1 healer during intermission
i have had literally zero pulls tonight where someone didn't kill me by not going to their spread spot (or not provoking after being rezzed and then i eat the tankbuster, etc...)
