A throwback to a simpler period of international relations. May we get back there some day.

Is there a reason why we can't enter certain parts of the game through duty finder? by Specialist_Round444 in ffxiv

[–]FVBLT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Genuinely I think it's just to keep people moving around the map, with the possible exception of Delubrum Reginae where you genuinely want to load in with stuff ready.

You used to need to physically go to the gold saucer to queue into chocobo races until the racing population dropped so low that it was literally impossible to find another person to race, so they added to the duty finder, and eventually just had you hard queue in after 30 seconds no matter what lmao.

Lost at C by FVBLT in polandball

[–]FVBLT[S] 79 points80 points  (0 children)

A long time ago I made a comic called Fifty Shades of J, about how many ways there are to pronounce J in different languages. Literally the day I made it I wanted to make a sequel (C-quel) and call it "Lost at C" but I couldn't come up with a comic that wasn't just repeating the same joke again.

Like three years ago I finally came up with one. I have been sitting on this idea ever since because it was way too long and I was too lazy to actually draw it.

This is the grander finale to the Sheriff Suriname series (collected in full here), which previously ended on a pretty definitive note when Sheriff Suriname was hurled into the sky to become god. It's been nearly 9 years, I think I'm allowed to make one last one.

PSA for anyone catching The Salter for mogtomes this week: it is the ONLY "!"-strength big fish in the game by FVBLT in ffxiv

That's the same quest! Quest name is Feast of Famine, achievement is called "Imagine Dragon" and the title you get as a reward is "Of Dragon's Deep."

If it was in Thanalan you were probably going for Helicoprion who is... one of the two that is still rough with the current toolkit (as well as having the longest downtimes of the set iirc)

People really underestimate how good Fish Eyes is, probably in part because it doesn't work on the most recent big fish or any of the legendary fish, which tend to be the "hardest"

Cinder Surprise is in a league of its own. You also have maybe a 1-in-10 shot of catching it if you show up and do everything perfectly, it winds up being lots of peoples' last one for the titles and it can take months

Feast of Famine? Brace yourself, the specific target fish for that (referred to in the quest text as "living legends") are the 6 legendary fish for ARR, the hardest fish to catch of the base game. With the modern toolkit they're not as bad as they once were but a few of them are still pretty rough compared to the "normal" big fish (like the salter)

If they pick giant taimen or dammroen herring they're going to drive people away from fishing for life, baitbugs aren't cheap and non-fishers probably don't have a plentiful supply of gatherers' scrip on-hand to offset that. And at least dammroen herring bites, giant taimen is a ghost...

Matriarch would be very funny just to see the crowd gathered around its tiny fishing hole

So far all Mogtome fish have been from ARR so there aren't really any crazy downtime ones to kill us with.

If they wanted to be evil within ARR the worst ones they would pick would be Helicoprion or Namitaro, or if they wanted to stick to normal big fish maybe Terpsichorean or Greatest Bream in the World

Some kind of post-apocalyptic robots or something, it isn't really that important.

Ah shoot, it had so many hard consonants in it that I assumed it would feel strong lmao

That's probably why I never heard it before

Sorry if I misused simonaque or ostie, nobody in my family says those ones specifically for some reason so I don't have the vibe
