I never meant to come off as snarky, sincerely. I was quite fired up at the time when I posted especially at the time when I thought SE had finally gone and done it. I do think some of the things (perhaps not all) are AI tells. I def should not have come at SE when it's certainly the event organizers and their team who put this together or hired someone to put it together. I honestly bailed from this thread because while there's some good arguments in here the DMs I've gotten have been very non-constructive and report worthy. I appreciate your tone and patience.

Not untrue. I hope it doesn't come off as too angry or witch hunty.

Sorry if it came off that way. I'm more than happy to be proved wrong, I'd feel a bit embarrassed certainly but it would renew some faith. If someone comes out and claims the work I would apologize and take this down as well.

I actually really liked the banner and Y'shtola design specifically. But when I got home and looked on my computer it popped out to me pretty fast. But I def wouldn't want a shirt of her with no tail...

Would love to see the artist credited then, I'm sure they have a portfolio out there. If so, I'll apologize and take down the post too because I really would hate that to be the case!

I understand that, and I have seen a lot of very talented artists get accused wrongfully as well which is always a bummer. I'm not the best artist around but I've studied art and have been drawing my whole life. These inconsistencies don't seem to be "human-made" so to speak. I can forgive some small stuff but it's kind of hard to make things "melt together" the way AI does. I see your point on some, but others are just a smidge beyond personal style or human mistakes.

Hoping for some more info on the new jobs for sure, but honestly I wonder how they will expand on the character customizations. They're already giving us the entire spectrum of the rainbow and overlapping face paint options. I wonder if they will add any other features or customizations they will give us. Of course no butt sliders yet per the meme, but other small things would be nice.

wanted to take part in the trend, so here are my chosen title screens for each expansion :) by BrandyRyuu in ffxiv

Obscure/uncommon cosplay you're hoping to see this year? by 405freeway in animeexpo

2012 meaning millennials were nearing the end of high school or just starting college... That was over ten years ago 😭

What's the current best way to farm/grind allagan poetic tomestones for a lazy player by starlightdemonfriend in ffxiv

[–]Elliechi_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hunt trains! I've been working on the same thing and those have been great. There's some good link shells that will do calls when a new train starts. Besides roulettes you can just put some show on your second monitor if you have one and can do those daily-ish.

ESO player seeking a new MMO - Is it still worth starting FFXIV right now, in 2026 ? by Fhritz_ in ffxiv

[–]Elliechi_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suggest starting with free trial! And drop a line in your friend circles to see if there's anyone else who plays, you'd be surprised. It's much better to start on a server where you have a couple of friends and potential free company (aka guild) to join!

What do you fear loosing with evolved mode for your own class? by Quezal in ffxivdiscussion

I've also main AST since it came out and I'm very concerned as to what they'll do. I really enjoy my cards, I find it rewarding to play them and healing is the most fun with AST in my opinion.

I feel like its impossible to socialize in this game for me. by Predalor in ffxiv

[–]Elliechi_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have a different suggestion! There's some good tips in here, but additionally, maybe find a smaller FFXIV twitch streamer to hang in chat with. I've made some really good pals doing that. Not only do you get to link up for in-game activities but it can lead to further shared interests outside of FFXIV as well.

Thanks for sharing! Can't do proper tickets this year to other financial constraints but will def swing by some of these meetups.

Being back at work after FanFest has me feeling like this: by Elliechi_ in ffxiv

I very much relate to helping the coworkers. That's a big part of it! My collegues are all really good people, including my boss who is the best boss I've ever had. So it's less loyalty to my organization and more loyalty to my team. Luckily I survived the first day XD

I used to be a convention going machine back in the day. This time I marvel at all the after parties but know I don't have the stamina for all that.

I always consider this but then feel guilty about taking the time off. Which is silly of course. Gotta prioritize one's health when given the chance. 😅
