I talk about my FFXIV character
Y'ahra makes a very good adventuring income fighting monsters and hunting for lost treasure. He could be fairly rich if he settled down; maybe even VERY rich, but his palico partner Clawdia tends to blow their money as quickly as it rolls in.

He doesn't question it. Not because he believes but because it's unwise to question a witch.
#wolqotd does YOUR WoL/oc believe Y'shtola when she claims her age is 23?

Y'ahra's mother (center) is Y'zena Aris, a former Sharlayan scholar and far-ranging traveler who often protected gleaners. Some of her work laid the foundation for the Scions' knowledge of primals in the realm of Eorzea.

Y'ahra's father (far left) is named Stinging Wolf, a Hellsguard chieftain and major figure of note among the clans of Abalathia, widely known for having slain a dragon that had rampaged out of control far from Coerthas.

My pie-in-the-sky wish for FF14 is that they add the still-missing parts of Coerthas back in and they still look green how they did pre-Calamity.
1.0 coerthas, by the way. your fav npcs lost this when the calamity struck. this was how their homeland looked for a majority of their lives.

[shakes u all by ur shoulders] REMEMBER COERTHAS, REMEMBER THAT IT ONCE WAS GREEN!!!!!! NOT WHITE!!!!!!!!!!!

I think of everything happening between ARR and the current time of 7.4 as being the better part of a decade. I think the twins should be in their mid-20s by now and when you account for the 5 years 1.0-ARR most of the Scions should be in their mid-late 30s.
#wolqotd (kinda)

The Encyclopaedia Eorzea books provide ages for NPCs: how do you "treat" this piece of info within your own wol's lore/timeline?
Are they canon? If so at which point in time? Or do you adjust them to your personal timeline? Or perhaps it's all the "1 year time bubble"?

Y'ahra's surname Swyrstyrm means 'big storm,' a joke prompted by the idea that at some point after getting pregnant someone told his mom the following-

Because my brain is trying to rip me apart over this right now, y'all get a thread on why devs would give us "low effort" holiday event items. 1/??

Was the journey good? Was it worthwhile? Perhaps at times it was neither, but to not go forth would have been far worse.

"Oop, time to have a seizure" when the Echo hit was an established gag in the FFXIV fandom when I started playing, so I decided to lean into it and effectively give Y'ahra epilepsy. His Echo flashes knock him to the ground and frequently cause seizures.
( #wolqotd and pls show me gposes! )

Do your OC has any disabilities or chronic illnesses? How did it affect their adventures so far?

Another preview project from my first few nights with the S30. I'm super excited to finally work on M45 after fawning over everyone's this past year 💙 🔭 #astrophotography #M45

I generally think of FFXIV as having lasted close to 10 years since ARR - that's roughly the same amount of time as has passed outside of game, minus 1 year from covid delay. Maybe I could be talked down to 7 or 8 but less than that feels insanely paced for the amount of stuff we've done.
#wolqotd ✨ for you, the player.
do you ignore how time works in ffxiv?
i'm speaking of the time bubble where no one seemingly ages, time travel as it was introduced with alexander and then reintroduced in shadowbringer and then endwalker?
do you find the canon of all of this confusing?

share your OC and a plant you associate with them 🌹

Lilies. A flower beloved of Y'ahra's patron deity, the Goddess of Fate. He carries a few for when he needs to make remembrance or the occasion he prays for intercession. Also they're pretty.

Y'ahra was told by a seer that when his wandering is finally done he is one day destined to forge a kingdom from the mountain dwelling clans of Abalathia. He believes his adventures - his fighting and the politicking done along the way - will pave the way for him to become a great king.
