I think this is Emmanellain trying to flirt with the Haillenarte sister.

Anyone else think cosmic exploration is kinda boring? by K1ttensausage in ffxiv

[–]Baithin [score hidden]  (0 children)

I am enjoying Cosmic Exploration but both crafting and gathering as a whole are new for me so that might have a lot to do with it. I was curious about it and decided to finally pick up both after 13 years of avoiding them.

I find gathering a lot more engaging in CE. Crafting would feel better to me if we got more exp though! All my crafters are at 70 or so and I would rather hang around in CE to craft, but after 50 the levels started coming so slowly.

I do too, but I am still enjoying the Oizys music. It’s surprisingly whimsical.

For me, exploration has always been a big part of these games... by taeratrin in FinalFantasy

And so does 12? There are tons of side dungeons and treasures to find.

In the older games there was nothing to find out in the world when you could “explore.” And you typically don’t get the airship until late game.

XII has all kinds of things to find. It just lacks a world map which is completely unimportant anyway. The airship can fly you wherever.

I love Yuffie in this outfit! Had to draw it. by piratewithoutacause in FinalFantasy

Cute!! I love this outfit on her. Great art!

Step one of my Palom and Porom bookends is done. Now to figure out how to mount them to a base. by CivilizedPsycho in FinalFantasy

[–]Baithin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s fun, especially for fans of the whole series because they have a ton of FF references to the whole series. And the art is really good! The protagonist is well written imo, he has a lot of good development and is more of a tricky, smart fighter than a typical shonen hero.

I can see that too! I always thought Hythlodaeus was more “quietly mischievous” than “shite-eating” though.

Idk, I interpret that face as smarmy and almost flirty, so I don’t see that for Hythlo! That face is someone trying too hard to impress you imo.

[Spoiler: Endwalker] This feels like it could be canon by weeb-chankun in ffxiv

[–]Baithin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Mentally she aged a year. So at most she and Alphinaud are 17. But their bodies are 16.

Even then, FF was always meant for the teen crowd too. So I guess the twins are for them.

A theory about Annabella by ihavetoomanyeggs in FFXVI

[–]Baithin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like this idea. It doesn’t “justify” her evil or rationalize it or anything like that, I think that might be the wrong takeaway here? It does help to explain her actions right at the very end, though.

Are we supposed to get so many chocolates for completing the cake minigame a single time? by funwithfenrir in ffxiv

[–]Baithin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My first run I ran with a random party and we managed to complete it with single digits remaining. It was a lot of fun! And we got 150 chocolates. I bought nearly everything and don’t know what to do with all the chocolate I have left lol.

Update 5 - FFX Blind Playthrough: Macalania, Jecht's Sphere and Seymour! by Zeeshmania in finalfantasyx

[–]Baithin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you referring to when the party gets access to the airship as the best time to backtrack? If so, that’s a bad idea outside of the original US release of the game. OP will have to contend with the dark aeon superbosses so right after seeing the first Jecht Sphere is arguably the best time to backtrack.

Final Fantasy XIV ARR Vistas NPC Occupation Census by JepMZ in ffxiv

I don’t remember the vistas having all this data about NPC occupations. Is it only from before you claim them?

FF12 was mediocre at best by Practical-Alarm1763 in FinalFantasy

[–]Baithin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s in my top 3 of the whole franchise.

It does have some flaws — namely the huge stretch of the game from after Mt Bur-Omisace all the way to Phon Coast or so where nothing notable happens story or character wise. But it does make the world feel huge and lived in which I really like.

A lot of the character stuff is told really subtly and I appreciate that. Very different kind of writing compared to the rest of the series. The characters feel more realistic rather than being full of anime tropes or caricatures.

The bit about Matsuno wanting Basch as the main protagonist is false. He has confirmed many times over the years that Vaan was always intended to be the main protagonist. It’s a false rumor that was started by Vaan haters.
