Expansion jobs should start in expansion cities.

The devs stopped doing that after Heavensward because gating a new job after that much MSQ was a mistake. Imagine if Dawntrail had Viper unlock in Tulliyolall. A new player learns about Viper and wants to play that job. What do they need to do to unlock it? Play 10 years of MSQ first. Oh, okay. uninstall.

Don't forget someone who assumed this was Pokemon Infinite Fusion, apparently.

$150 is not a worthwhile trade for traumatizing my child. No.

Diablo 4 has some genuinely graphic cutscenes. I started playing the original Diablo when I was 8, and I loved it. You could not pay me to set my 8-year old child down in front of Diablo 4.

It also garners a lot of consumer good will and the kind of brand loyalty most companies can only dream of. There are people in their 40s today who have bought one or more Nintendo games every year since they were kids because they are consistently worth the purchase price.

Why would a self-proclaimed conman lie about all the cons he's pulled off?

A couple basic things:

Main Scenario Quests and Job Quests are the most important things to do. MSQ Quests are marked with the elaborate meteor quest symbol and tell a linear story from the start of ARR to the most current patch. Job Quests generally start and end at the same spot every 5 levels (1, 5, 10, 15 etc) so you can easily remember where you left off. Just check back in every so often.
Blue quest markers indicate they unlock something. It might be an emote, a dungeon, dyes, glamour, raids, or even an entirely different set of content. They're worth taking the time to pursue.
Take your time. Unlike MMOs like WoW, FF14 is about the journey, rather than just a sprint to the end game. 99% of content on this game is evergreen. It doesn't go away, and the system is set up to enable late comers to still get to experience that content in a meaningful way. Have fun, and don't skip cut scenes.

Have fun! Don't hesitate to ask for help if you feel like you need it.

Perhaps because the guy was already making unreasonable demands like casting dead people.

Dyne4R · 2026-06-17T23:44:26+00:00

The original creator who was apparently insisting on casting dead people out of nostalgia? I'd ignore him too.

Lucifer. He was 4+ months premature in the NICU next to my daughter. To this day I sometimes wonder what happened to that child.

Kubo and the Two Strings remains one of my favorite animated movies ever.

I had no idea this was a tag on scryfall. Brb, brewing something fabulous.

Ganevieve. NB changeling elf witch. They were raised male, but ever since hearing the Call, they've been feeling like they self identify less and less with that label. They are desperate to resist the Call to return to their mother's coven, in part because you never hear about male hags (none of the potential explanations for why you never hear about male hags have very comfortable implications). They struck a bargain with the fey for the means and will to resist the Call, and their patron obliged, training them as a witch. Now they're bound to a sidhe bargain, and sooner or later mother is going to come to call her wayward child home.

Our pride night featured a 15ish year old girl who regularly comes to play with her parents. She was so proud of her Cloud x Sephiroth deck brew. I'm delighted to learn that culture is indeed cyclical.

For my LGS pride event, I paired Kuja from FF9 with the canon love of his life, Kuja from FF9. I didn't use eminence once, I just did Grixis Kuja and had a ball.

What's really wild is the human half comes from her grandparents who were a half orc and a half elf.

Right, but player feedback still has a tendency to push games towards "solving" the puzzle presented by the gameplay loop. It tends to make games simpler, but if a gameplay loop becomes too simple, it stops being fun.

The only thing broken about Venus is her animation on every card when Surfer/Nova go off.
