This is where I never shut up about FFXIV
I really hope they undo that in 8.0. Whether or not it was optimal for balance, it was iconic to the job and the source of affectionate memes and jokes for years. Now there's nothing :(

Yoooo what them fingies do

If they follow you and get upset about it or don't just think 'yep that's not for me' then scroll past, that sounds like a them problem

It was because of this that I got another data point for women being the heavyweight champions of putting down other women after I learned that a woman wrote the Dog/Party Member interactions. And I mean that affectionately

Absolutely savage and uncalled for

Regardless, keep at it. You have a great style.

Not sure! I *like* your art, it has its own distinct style, but not sure what would make it pop out to me as I scroll. Cute/cozy styles are pretty common on bluesky.

If I had to guess, it was the more dynamic pose that caught my eye?

I at least can't be called a bandwagoner ig

I'm a freak. My favorite is EW but nearly tied with it is Stormblood

With randos it's even better to say nothing at all because they just get rewarded and encouraged by the attention and seeing how much they affected you

Vagueposting is so unnecessary most of the time, just say who's involved or wait until you can or something 😭

What are people even supposed to get out of these posts without context? We don't really have to raise awareness that, broadly, toxic people exist online, it's never new information

And watching people ship their characters with NPCs is super cute anyway and they make fun stuff in the process :P

LARPing inside of an MMO, complete with a homebrewed ruleset PDF dozens of pages long, is one of the nerdiest things you can possibly do. But it has been the most fulfilling creative outlet I've had maybe in my life. It owns, and we've told unforgettable stories together

I don't WoLship or ship in general, really, but I'm 35 and have also been enjoying turning my brain off to what's cringe.

I have been playing what's essentially a 4 year long DnD campaign inside of FFXIV with some of the closest friends I've made online (and am traveling to see Friday!)

That's. Insane. Who's lost sponsorships to it? O.o

This is only an anecdote but I've also spoken to someone on the XIV GM team who modded extensively, but I respect their privacy enough to not say who lol

They're more lax with it than you may realize

I've never heard of anyone in the community getting in trouble with Square over liking and retweeting modded gposes, that feels like something you'd only try to avoid if you are a part of Square's PR apparatus. They can't really go after what you do outside the game, anyway, esp for smth that minor

It will? Has that caused problems for anyone before?

Technically talking about mods in-game isn't allowed, but even Yoshi P said that they generally look the other way if it's not making the game worse for others. Outside of game, even big content creators talk about modding themselves
November 19, 2025 at 3:53 AM
huh? why would that cause problems?

I'm so offended that I'm going to have to go graze the top of my favorite acacia tree

Never seen an elezen before? smh :(
