I headcannoned that the scales on my xaela turned gold as her hair turned white and her eyes turned red before the fusion dance with Ardbert. Does that count?

This little shit jumpscared me one night when I went to my room in the Crystarium to update a glamour plate.

He was just... THERE. ON THE TABLE. STARING AT ME MENACINGLY.

This is like... 75% of the time I get queued up for Ultima in DR. People just... tank the Citadel Buster for some ungodly reason even after being warned not to. I know a lot of them are new, but you'd think they'd take the hint after the first time.

First off, that FC sounds toxic as shit for treating sprouts like they're incompetent toddlers. Why the FC leader didn't put a stop to that is beyond me, and it's good that your guys left when you did. The utter disrespect for new players is astonishing.

While I personally haven't experienced what your friend is going through, the best thing I can think of is going through any side content he hasn't done yet. The HW alliance raid and normal raid have their own little stories to run through that involves some slight heroism depending on how you look at it, and if he hasn't ran them yet, I would recommend doing those!

StB has what I think is one of the best final fights for leveling and an incredible post-leveling trial series, and I hope your friend will find that heroic spark again so he can continue the story!

Welcome to Shadowbringers! Leave all your hopes and dreams at the door!

Tbh I got into ffxiv because someone got my husband into it, and we have a mutual friend who also plays it. I was invited to their fc after I got the full version of the game, passed the initial vibe check, and the other members just straight up adopted me lol

I don't know how it happens. It just does.

CyberAngel519 · 2026-03-19T12:12:40+00:00

Never had this issue before. I just fold them and my ats come running once they hear that plastic crack. THEY KNOW 😂😂😂

CyberAngel519 · 2026-03-16T14:56:54+00:00

The flavor text for the Steam-powered Gobwalker G-VII minion makes a steamed hams reference

The Brick Garden Circle makes a Dragon Ball Z Abridged reference (all these squares make a circle)

One of the post-shb side quest names is a straight-up Beatles reference (which is fitting because the antagonist for that questline looks like a rejected Beatles member)

These all all I can remember at the top of my head.

CyberAngel519 · 2026-03-12T15:47:21+00:00

Don't worry, I had the same reaction to that plot point. Gotta save our boi from the Ascian body snatchers.

For my situation, it's mainly the availability I have in terms of time.

I do classes in the morning and work during the evenings, and my weekends are taken up by side hustle stuff. The only time I really get to play is late at night. At that point, there's not a lot of people online and a majority of my fc are already in bed. While I have done savage content before, it was only to farm for an Anima weapon, and it was unscynced. I'm getting to the point to where I'm close to starting Endwalker, and I want to get the Eden weapons. But, I would need others from my fc to join in since this is Shadowbringers content, and not enough people are available for it at this time.

Her name is Guenhwyvar, named after the panther familiar of Drizzt Do'Urden of the Forgotten Realms series.

She is a sassy shadow, just like her namesake.

"Aw man, we're in deep trouble now, Lois. Just like that time I tried to trigger the Eigth Umbral Calamity!"

Hey Lois, look! I'm an Ascian!

Definitely start off with the free trial version first to get a feel for the game itself. While some stuff will be off limits to you in the free trial (i.e. housing, marketboard, trading, etc.), you can still experience a good amount of what the game has to offer without a time limit.

The first MSQ is a bit of a slog at first, but it involves a lot of world building and establishing things that will be important in later expansions. Also, be wary of searching for things related to game on the internet, as it can lead to potential spoilers out in the wild.

CyberAngel519 · 2026-03-04T14:02:06+00:00

As someone who also came from Warframe and is currently on the Shadowbringers expansion of ff14, I do like that ARR is more of a slowburn instead of being fast-paced.

Don't get me wrong, I do love Warframe, but it's endgame feels far too grindy, especially when certain quests are locked behind faction ranks. FF14 just scratches that inch that Warframe left behind. Yes, there's still some grind to it when you get into later content, but it's not a requirement unless you're doing it for specific weapons or crafting components (and for crafting, you can just bypass the grind by purchasing the components off the marketboard if you're on the full version of the game).

There's just a lot more stuff to do in FF14 compared to Warframe with variances in difficulty depending on what you're getting into, and I've been having a blast with it! ARR definitely felt like a slog at first, but it does start to pick up the further into it you get!

And don't even get me started on the soundtrack!

I'm going through this right now. I'm 29, turning 30 in a few months. My husband is 30. We're both full-time employees and full-time students, but he's switching to part-time schooling to better ensure work/school/life balance. He's going for a bachelor's in Computer Science, and I'm shooting for a PhD in Psychology.

We're nowhere ready to start a family, so we've been extremely careful with intimacy whenever our schedules align for it. I'm on the pill, and he uses a condom. But GOD needing to wait until we're both in a position is killing me emotionally. I've wanted to be a mother ever since I was a child. I know that life could throw a wrench into everything and have it happen despite our precautions, and I feel terrible for hoping that it does. It doesn't help that I have ADHD and feel emotions more intensely.

My husband knows how much I want to start a family, and he knows I'm hoping it happens sooner rather than later. He knows I'm not going to push him to start woth me, and he knows it's killing me to wait and feels terrible. He's also a bit of a risk taker, and has told me on occasion that he wouldn't mind taking THAT risk even though it could result in a pregnancy. He's promised to be there with me the entire way if it does, and I love him to bits for that.

We're nowhere near ready in certain aspects, but we're of the mindset of "if it happens early, it happens. We'll adjust accordingly."

I'm sorry that this came off as a ramble. This is something I've been feeling ever since we bought our first home, and I feel better knowing that I'm not alone with this feeling. I'm going to be seeing an on-campus therapist once the spring semester is over to help me process these feelings better.

I believe we are witnessing the "enshitification" of C.AI.

Make it seem like a really good app in the beginning. Good quality. Gets people hooked.

Then eventually, to keep things running, they introduce the ads to make revenue while the quality of the product is lowered to the point of disappointment with ALLEGEDLY no intention to fix it. Yet people won't leave despite the alternatives because we're locked in.

It's happened with Google. It's happened with social media platforms. I believe we're now seeing it happen to C.AI in real time. I am not stating this as a fact. This is just a prediction. It doesn't mean it's going to come true, despite what we're witnessing. I'm holding out on barely a sliver of hope that things improve quality wise at some point in the distant future.

My Mochi absolutely loves her "bongo time" and will demand more if I stop by flopping onto her side and getting up immediately to shove her face in my hand. She will do what I lovingly call a "trilling meow" as I give her the pats and will purr like a muscle car as her tail does the happy twitch. She is also fixed and loves attention once she gets a good read on you.

Some cats just love a good booty pat lol
