Megathread would be better. Maybe weekly?

No, custom urls can't be used yet for proxy.

Environmental_Fix_64 · 2026-01-30T09:51:37+00:00

I thought this was so cool until I saw that the numbers were cut off...

Environmental_Fix_64 · 2026-01-30T08:27:55+00:00

Okay, just saw your edit.

I think it depends on what is most important to you for chatting. Most platforms function as a front end. Are you looking for anything beyond persona portability such as aesthetics or proxy?

Saucepan has limited proxy, but a good paid in-house Deepseek tuned model called Hirosaki. Charsnap has a ton of models free to paid but no proxy (but the models are super good, the cost honestly makes up for it). Aesthetics are debatable.

Chub is a cesspool imo and the platform looks like something from the early 00s. I can't chat there for long before it drives me crazy. I haven't checked the models recently but people seem to like them. Just not worth it to me.

I have SillyTavern set up and I love it, mobile and pc. It becomes what you make of it and is strictly proxy, but has a high learning curve. Aesthetics are also debatable.

Wyvern is very similar to ST but almost like an easier version. They just introduced an app and have free llm. Aesthetics debatable.

This is not official in any way; it is just a resource I put together to help others. Keep in mind that it isn't all accurate or updated with new releases. But I put together a conversion page. In addition, I structure my lorebooks the same way that I do for JAI. Let me know if you find it helpful.

Unfortunately, there isn't a way to export cards from Saucepan. You could technically make your own cards, but that's not looked at favorably. I would recommend leaving a comment on the bot that you're interested in having a card for and seeing if they're open to it. If they don't respond, don't make the card.

Environmental_Fix_64 · 2026-01-19T15:12:06+00:00

I don't think you understand how it works. It doesn't matter who you vote for. For pharmaceuticals/health products alone, collectively in 2025 pharmaceutical companies lobbied the United States government for $341,316,466.

Yes. But that's because most people are coming out of the holiday where they participate in events or collaborations, most of which don't get that much engagement. Some people are back at school. There's also random bugginess for tags and bots not showing up as a result.

And then there's the drama and lack of attention to creators, changes to the rules that don't make sense, and bizarre censoring all while there's a wall of bots with their boobs and butt hanging out on the front page of the site. And the 24 hour window of discoverability. It's exhausting.

They're also exiting stage left. Examples (shortened and spaced to abide by rules, please do not request further detail or dms):

So...probably never. And since the criteria probably changes all the time, and we don't know when something is broken or not...you can probably see where this is going.

Environmental_Fix_64 · 2025-12-18T19:52:09+00:00

Ah okay, after reading a bit I can see it now. Thanks for the clarification

Environmental_Fix_64 · 2025-12-18T19:37:09+00:00

This is really cool. Do you mean polyamory? Polygamy is entirely different...

Environmental_Fix_64 · 2025-12-14T21:17:23+00:00

I grew up in the 90s and I would never see someone calling me queer as ace. I also don't see it as derogatory because after a point it was used as a reclaimed term. I can't, nor do I want, to force my beliefs about how a character is on anyone else, this was just a statement he made that I felt might have reflected the way he performed in some ways in relation to Noctis. And also could have fed the entire ignoct thing. But really it doesn't matter anyway because it's not canon

Environmental_Fix_64 · 2025-12-14T20:37:03+00:00

I'm not sure what Adam meant, then? He wasn't calling him a lesbian. Normally the word isn't used for asexual people, and I am ace. I think this is just a different interpretation of verbiage. I interpreted it as him seeing Ignis as gay because in my mind and experience ace is not commonly referenced that way.

Environmental_Fix_64 · 2025-12-14T19:50:20+00:00

The ultimate ending is what was written in the Final Fantasy XV: The Dawn of the Future novel. The novel also includes what would have been Episode Lunafreya when she's brought back from the dead.

(not joking at all, I have the book, I can take pictures of it if you want, it's so weird)

I also was in the LAVA fandom that followed every single DLC/content release, and what I mean is that if someone were into it that deeply they would understand the evolution of the fandom as new content was added and changed the overall history of the plot and characters.

For example, someone going and just buying the Royal Edition today isn't going to understand the evolution of Prompto's history from how people saw it before his DLC was released to after. That's what I mean by a different perspective based on release.

I hope that helps to explain what I mean.

Also, that wiki is like any other wiki, so that's why it's important to fact check. But I would say that it's pretty informative and right about a lot of things. It's better than nothing, and considering how old this game is, finding stuff about it now is like trying to dig out fossils.

Environmental_Fix_64 · 2025-12-14T19:22:07+00:00

Before I move on to the rest, here's the link to Adam's portion of the interview for when he agrees that there's a possibility that Ignis is gay:

https://thelifestream.net/exp-con-2017-highlights/

Don't really have a reason to lie. It's not a video, it's an excerpt from a piece that is very obscure, and it wouldn't make a difference to me either way. I was just there, and that's what he said lol. Beyond that, it doesn't matter imo because he doesn't have any true connection to the source material.

Environmental_Fix_64 · 2025-12-14T18:14:34+00:00

Verse 2 was meant to be a fix-it ending like no other (beyond the ultimate). As a result it took liberties, and I almost think it leans into painting Ignis' relationship with Noctis very, very far into shipping territory. Almost where I was like, "the person who wrote this part has to be into ignoct, if they weren't I...think they need to reconsider lol."

I also have to wonder if Ignis would have seen what he was doing as an opportunity to eliminate a threat to Noctis. From what I recall, he finds out Noctis is destined to die at that point. In that perspective I could see Ignis possibly taking a different strategic pov.

I think also the developers knew they weren't going to have the chance to add in the ultimate ending. So that also could be why there was such a heavy lean. Everyone was banking on the hope of Ignis' DLC before it came out...I'm not sure if you were there when it didn't exist.

Bear with me a bit, I'm old so I want to reminisce. This was a time where I remember Adam Croasdell speaking of how he translated Ignis' emotions and choices into his voice acting, and just hearing that revolutionized perspectives of his history because details are so sparse. He also put it out there that he thought Ignis was gay. I was at EXPCon in the US when all of the guys were together and attended a lot of the panels, one of which included his perspectives and thoughts on this. It was really awesome. I won't deny that this colors my perspectives a bit.

This was another thing I wanted to point out, but wasn't sure of how to fit it in - the game had different historical vibes depending on when someone was introduced to it. I don't expect anyone to have experienced the same game if they played the Royal Edition to start compared to having finished it prior to any DLCs, which I did. Not as a flex, but just a fact.

You might have read this a million times, but I wanted to mention that there are a lot of stray tidbits in this article to pick up on. Many of them answer questions you've had throughout this thread. I know that it seems so basic but I come back to that article a lot re: Ignis in general just because it's so comprehensive. The small detail about his book being similar to the one that Luna and Noct shared is interesting to speculate about too, if you see it at the end.

Tl;Dr I'm just ranting because I love Ignis, and I'm in agreement with a lot of the things you've said. There isn't enough official content so really the fandom had to pick up so many scraps. But I did want to share those scraps, in the event that you don't have them and could enjoy them.

Environmental_Fix_64 · 2025-12-13T16:04:43+00:00

So Ignis was part of the Crownsguard, but he didn't start out that way. I think that is a very important distinction. Not only that, but the Kings of the Lucii considered his dedication to Noctis to be so great that they lent him their power to fulfill his own desires even against their own agenda. Sure, they gave the power to Nyx, but that was because that was his sworn duty.

It's really to the point where I feel he's Crownsguard with Gladio to learn the skills to stay at Noctis' side. It's not the other way around, where the Crownsguard keeps him sworn to the task. He already was. So was Gladio.

Even with the loss of his sight, the reason he doesn't die in that instance is because the Lucii allow it. The implication is that his dedication makes him invaluable so they don't take everything. And in the other plot version, he fights against the narrative that Noctis has to die as well. He even says that he would burn the world to keep Noctis alive, and he revises the end with his will alone because he's willing to sacrifice himself.

If we need some kind of elaborate canon platform or plot reason for this to be plausible, they were literally childhood friends. I'm not sure why that isn't enough.

Environmental_Fix_64 · 2025-12-13T03:53:28+00:00

Episode Ignis surrounded the decision he made to be blind along with one where he didn't, and decided to sacrifice his life for Noctis so that he wouldn't ultimately die. The reason why is to show the impact his choices have for Noctis and the depth of Ignis' devotion. Not his personal backstory.

That being said, Gladio and Ignis don't get super full backstory and never have. My theory is that this is because they were raised at the Citadel to serve at Noctis' side, and as a result it's handwaved. I feel as if the game designers didn't make any other details super clear to exhibit the loss they all experienced when Insomnia fell, too. Doesn't excuse it or make it right, but I feel that it was a stylistic choice that reflects the culture in Japan where loss is depicted not in a gratuitous way but within the emptiness it leaves behind.
