Wow that was a shockingly quick win for Curse Mode for me. My original Curse Mode run took a WHILE.

Of course the banner right after hers ALSO has a character I really want, but I'm happy getting 5 Star Yangyang.

God *damn* Kuro. This is incredible looking.

I gotta go farm out materials for her skills sadly. I'm missing enough Comet Shards.

Had a pretty good result this Anniversary!

Screw America's birthday. Instead, Happy 50th Birthday to the best Persona protagonist!

Four hours in the ER. This is what it cost me. $5,631.

Man that QP node on the Bleached Earth is REALLY pushing my Servant Bond Levels up lol

Ordeal Call II finished. Gonna go cry now.

I'm fucking crying, I forgot an FC mate made this shit about our old Free Company back in Heavensward.

I have a few. I have a thing for asshole men in fiction. (Also, for some reason, war criminals.) Hell, the original Free Company I started in FFXIV back in ARR was *named* after Vayne Solidor.

Hi, here's Aerik's dad (zoning out, taking a break from fishing)

Also reminder of the fact that Arby's made this social media post on Facebook on Stormblood's launch 9 years ago too.

Happy 9th Anniversary, Stormblood!!

This is the most cringe shit I have seen in my entire life and I say that as someone who used to RP.

PLEASE IAM8BIT I ONLY HAVE SO MUCH MONEY TO GIVE LOL WE OUT HERE GETTING SO MUCH GOOD BLUE PRINCE MERCH I CAN’T KEEP UP. (I still need both rare keychains though…I know they restocked the blind bags but I cannot risk or afford gambling on them this time.)

It seems like it’s just been tweaked with AI or a blending tool? The art is a real Nomura piece but they’ve moved the characters around from the original which is weird.

Oh Luxord baby what did they do to you. You look like a gay man from the South who does way too much meth.

CW: Anatomically correct heart / gore A friend made this meme for me and I cannot stop laughing at how ridiculous yet accurate it is.

Here's the statement on the page, in case you wanted to see it. I'm very disappointed.

When you have a really successful therapy session

Yeah, this dungeon is a lot of fun. I enjoyed soloing it too!

The Sylphs eventually inform me that their Elder is missing, a search which takes me to the southern edges of the Twelveswood, then to the upper reaches of La Noscea, before finding a lead inside an old dungeon called Toto-Rak. There, I encounter an Ascian by the name of Lahabrea. #ARealmReplayed

After my induction into my Grand Company, the Scions are tasked with treating with the Slyphs of Little Solace on behalf of Gridania in order to ensure they have no plans of summoning Ramuh, their own Primal. So I make my way to their settlement and assist them to earn their trust. #ARealmReplayed

Quite literally Thancred in the ARR trailer where they LITERALLY GAVE HIM BROWN HAIR FOR NO REASON?

That is very likely to be a stylistic choice. The animators for Slayers did it a LOT for Lina Inverse, for example. Its just kind of a shortcut. But there's a lot of evidence there's some Gen AI bullshit going on elsewhere in the art.

I really worry about the reading and general thematic comprehension of the playerbase when videos like this come out. A 13 minute video explaining to people something the game very CLEARLY showed? Like its VERY obvious she conjured it with her magic, it vanishes in butterflies when she leaves.

OH MY FUCKING GOD SOMEONE REPLIED TO A COMMENT I MADE ON DEFUNCTLAND'S WORLDS OF FUN "THE ORIENT EXPRESS" VIDEO FROM *SEVEN YEARS AGO* WHERE I APPARENTLY SAID THIS. I COMPLETELY FORGOT I COMMENTED THIS.

Never actually went back and checked this post Dawntrail graphics update but DAMN I look hot with this fuckin' "I'm about to fight and enjoy every single second of it" expression.
