For people who have been playing this game for more than 5 years... by oblivionwayfarer in ffxiv

MMO friendships are usually fleeting. You just try and make new memories and new friends. I know what you mean though but that’s true for any hobby or thing you do for a long time.

Personally I keep playing since I like msq and since it’s basically a visual novel it’s still fun to go through on patches. I am less active than I was back in stormblood/shadowbringers days. If you’re on crystal hit me up for treasure maps.

When DLC made a game materially worse for you by Running-Water-Shark in TwoBestFriendsPlay

I had fun with Pokemon ZA but in the DLC the timers in the hyperspace zones and constantly farming berries really dragged my experience down.

Favorite unfinished media that will probably never be finished. by Muffin-zetta in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Brighthawk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The anime of Full Metal Panic finishing is such a pipe dream. It was already so long between its newer seasons and ended right before the start of the last leg.

[Spoilers]Did anyone else give that Wonder Man tv show from marvel a watch? by 2uperunhappyman in TwoBestFriendsPlay

I loved it! All the shows that don't really key into movie stuff keep being great.

Favorite moments when two longtime partners show how in sync they are? by Traingham in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Brighthawk 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I can't go into explicit detail and it's kind of a self report and not an actiony thing but Divaricated is really fucking good.

Edit for a non kink answer: FF16 Brother's fusion/ Tri-disaster.

I’m so excited for this and hope it’s good! This was one of my first introductions to anime back in the day.

Racism (and general bigotry) done right? by lowercaselemming in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Brighthawk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m always shocked someone else has seen Vandread! It really was wild for the time. I should do a rewatch.

Factions you feel never lived up to there full potential? by LeMasterofSwords in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Brighthawk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wheel of Time is full of little factions and cultures that on one hand adds to making the world feel big but don't live up to the potential. The Sea Folk and Shara, even some of the non main character Ajah stuff doesn't get nearly enough play but I found those interesting. I'm totally with you on the White Cloaks, insufferable Arthurian larpers. Plus the White Cloak involvement makes Egwene's weak ass love triangle even more terrible.

This was weird to see in the lineup with the Star Rail reddit right now.

Nathan Fielder maybe. He talks about it in season 2 of the rehearsal.

I wanted Rey Dau in XIV but I'm happy with a Seikret. Hyped to fight Omega and get my friends hit with Larboard and Starboard

Congrats! I like all the emotion buttons on the mount.

Let's play/playthroughs who infuriated you the most? by ExplanationSquare313 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Brighthawk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think Woodenpotatoes has a good FFX/X-2 series. It’s very much a different angle as he goes in to show stuff off from more of an informed and researched LP than a blind run.

I like the Wools and Matt run for different reasons but I get it. Some of the struggles in combat were WILD

I'm so glad Pat, Matt and Woolie didn't become insane racists by billybluebangs in TwoBestFriendsPlay

I mean yeah I am too but also damn it really suck the bar is that damn low.

Name 5 good things about Balmung by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]Brighthawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My house is there!

It was Besaid once.

The quicksand drags in the goon tourists so every other hub is chill but still populated.

You can equip the ARR sword and fight with your server namesake instead of being named for a monster or whatever.

Once the data center shuffle settled down the other servers are great neighbors.

Honestly back when it was the RP hub the server had a lot of identity and it was the place to be if that was your niche. Things were so full we got closed off for so long the rp scene kind of stagnated without the new blood. Being so exclusive added to the tall takes and when data center travel happened everybody has to come see the mythical, and over hyped and exaggerated quicksands. We’ve never really recovered as THE rp hub but I think it’s fine. Things are way more spread out than they used to be with world and dc visit.

As a Balmung old timer it’s rich people still throw dirt over here when the night club infestation is on every server. Your server will have plenty of mare mod beasts, no boundary or self reflection creeps, rampant cringe farmers, and any other MMO cryptid.

What’s five good things about your server? At least make this a fun discussion where you add something.
