i'm sorry for turning ffxiv into my nonbinary monster girl simulator

at level 30 when it stops being lancer lol

they're one of FFXIV's stronger (not to mention, unique) bits of worldbuilding for sure!

i hope they've got a rework planned for it next expansion because while its animations are very flashy it feels like half of a Job right now (and barely like anything below level 80 or even 90). the 'two blades into polearm' gimmick feels wasted on it at the moment...
xenialinvalidation.bsky.social
can't really contribute i only started playing in 5.3 lol...
xenialinvalidation.bsky.social
oh yeah, no doubt (my bet's on hammer Tank. don't really care what the phys. ranged DPS will be), i was thinking specifically about his comment that they'll expand on existing Jobs' gameplay *somehow*
xenialinvalidation.bsky.social
same interview from a month or two ago, yeah, when yoshi-p reassured people who like the Jobs as they currently are that they're not going anywhere

you might think "oh they must've resubbed for Pilgrim's Traverse" but, no, this was just Heaven-on-High lol

love getting a 'no items' floor three floors in a row and then run into a mimic after using my only serenity pom the previous floor
xenialinvalidation.bsky.social
sorry to have been the one to remind you.. they really were awful...
xenialinvalidation.bsky.social
it's the Dawntrail Role Quest NPCs, for reasons only the devs would know
xenialinvalidation.bsky.social
strangely enough actually protective guards seem to have been primarily a european and/or indian thing, most examples of swords from other cultures only had something there to prevent the hand sliding up the blade (if even that lol)
xenialinvalidation.bsky.social
i mean, i don't know, but the ratio of surfboards to sensibly proportioned weapons has felt skewed in favour of the former for ages now... i would love if it were true though for sure lmao
xenialinvalidation.bsky.social
at this point i'm half-coping they keep making DRK weapons big dumb slabs because they're planning to make smaller, slender greatswords into its own separate Job
xenialinvalidation.bsky.social
i appreciate you appreciating Feo Ul as much as you do
xenialinvalidation.bsky.social
honestly hair mashups scare me more than gear, the models are (deliberately) such a mess and there's very little you can do to hide seams and the like in comparison...
xenialinvalidation.bsky.social
unfortunately there's always been very little overlap between 'characters whose writing i like' and 'characters whose design i like' when it comes to this game, neglecting the latter just used to be easier when we were all in it together 🥲
xenialinvalidation.bsky.social
pistit lol (you're one letter off). for some reason i never managed to make mashups (that i was happy with) for my 'established' OCs or the various NPCs i essentially adopted, despite several attempts...
xenialinvalidation.bsky.social
a part of me regrets giving up the common ground we shared in favour of ultimately kind of shallow aesthetic self-indulgence
xenialinvalidation.bsky.social
the power of light (mode)

thank you, though, i'm quite happy with the outcome!

i can accept Venat being a DNC more than i do Lyna, but it still feels like an absurdly gendered choice
