Been starting FFXI (no more time limit on the free trial tmrwl!! Join me on Fenrir!!) and it's really funny how little chill it has. There's a gate guard explaining the exact mechanisms of why all cops are bastards. This one official made a manifest destiny joke. Cid is *less* racist than his peers.

You can’t even comprehend how important Eien ni Hen’s work is to the fan translation community. Romancing SaGa, Fire Emblem, Sakura Wars, Tear Ring Saga, Glory of Heracles, Dragon Force II, Dark Half, Beyond Oasis, Psi-O-Blade, Arabian Nights, and so much more. What a loss. Rest in peace.
In memory of the translator, Eien ni Hen. May she rest in peace.
Koji Fox: "To be serious with you, it's only going to get harder to get into localization as a profession. A lot of companies are going to start, if they haven't already started, looking to AI to handle translation—which is frickin' sad. It's going to start limiting opportunities."

Switch 2 players are just something else (positive) May be EU only but low level roulettes have been a treat lately. So many of them give it their all, if not in party chat then in the way they move or act in game. So many little pleasant experiences, I hope they've been liking it here.

Uh is it known that FFXI was seemingly Final Fantasy XI: Project Exodus in development?
Extracted some files from the Final Fantasy XI Japanese beta, amazing how different the maps looked! Bonus dummy map
we're probably getting another arcadion side story this year, placing bets on it explaining how yaana got to run her gym; parents died recently, and it doesn't get addressed for very alexandrian reasons
Late to the discourse again, but a 6.1 starting point has been confirmed to be something they started work on before. Too big for alt text so the rest of it is in the replies source: www.finaland.com?rub=site&pag..., goes back to 7.0 and talks about the story a lot
Your honor thats not Dancing Green, thats Dancing Ryne. #ffxivfanfest #ffxiv
Egg. I don't want to be this negative but it's getting real dire
Keep in mind, any request you make using the website can and almost certainly WILL be logged. If you don't like what it logs in game already, you probably don't want to give it any chance to get more info out of you, even if it's just on principle.
Called it. Pure attention seeking behaviour. But now you can see reviews! They need serious mental health help. And we need SE to do something about this. Cos we individuals, can't do shit.

I really hope they have more character customization stuff in store, Au Ra horns no longer being tied to faces is great, but everything else at fanfest is options to remove stuff. They still haven't fixed male wildwoods and duskwight sharing face textures though, so elezens might not get anything...
middle fanfests are always letdowns but this is a letdown following a two year long letdown. for so many reasons. evercold ff7 raid? we already have a ff7 chronicles of a new era series it's called sorrow of werlyt. they even threw in some ff15 on top.
before the keynote begins please know that i'd have been happy with the same update schedule we used to have pre-ShB with more content integrated better in the existing main loop instead of being left to die. i hope i'm not getting monkey pawed
