Forcing people to engage and be aggressive in PVP in FF14 is legitimately the right move for the health of the content, thank you Yoshi-P.

They didn’t even COMMISSION / HIRE him to do the song.
He just talked to JC Miller about it, wrote the song, and randomly sent it to Soken going “just use this in the game somewhere if you want!”
Which is WILD. Soken said they had to scramble to discuss with management what to do about it.

One more debt fully paid off!!!
That leaves me with 3 left I believe.
I’m getting really close to finally having everything settled! The remaining three are the BIG ones that are going to take a year or so to finally get handled if I keep making only the minimum payments.

“Oh… wait, what? Change my streaming platform? Take all of an hour to cancel Spotify and transfer my playlists? Oh no no no no no. That requires a minimal amount of effort on my part. I’m good!”

- Literally nearly every "all races mod" not including Roegadyn of either gender.
- 99% of mods that DO exist for Roegadyn or Hrothgar being nothing but sexualized outfits and fetishwear rather than interesting or cool pieces of fashionable clothing.

Some friends and I did a fun little exercise where we traded OCs and everyone got to re-interpret that person's OC in their style.

Also I fully blame beatmania IIDX for me knowing the term "Setsugekka" well before it was added to FFXIV as a skill name lmao

Just realizing that I'm coming up on nearly 25 years of being a rhythm game fan (at the end of December of this year, specifically). The BEMANI series is where I got my start and continues to remain my favorite series of rhythm games.

I still think its lazy and rather insulting that the dev team refuses to give new Jobs weapons for Ultimate raids that came out before they existed.
Like what if I want to run UCoB on Gunbreaker and want to get a weapon to show off on my GNB?

Rewatching Sailor Moon Cosmos and I'm really glad that the Precure animation team that worked on it got a chance to really be imaginative when it came to Eternal Sailor Chibi Moon's transformation.
Its completely new, rather than a throwback and it looks REALLY cool.

Just a reminder that the real reason Shadowbringers is as good as it is, is due to the fact that it sought to cash in on the 150+ hours of storytelling prior to it that existed from ARR through Stormblood.
It could never be a stand alone game because the emotional payoff wouldn’t be there.

The way some folks don’t understand that their insufferable need to be morally superior or correct in every situation and their desire to “correct behaviors” of the people around them is the reason no one likes them.
And I’m not talking about bigotry, this is about stupid shit that doesn’t matter.

Bro its a franchise from nineteen ninety fucking four.
Things have changed in 30 years and I don't think its bad writing for them to adapt their storytelling focus alongside that.
