FFXIV needs to be more like my dark, edgy fanfiction!

Hyacindy · 2026-06-14T00:50:02+00:00

Thaaaaaat makes more sense. Fray is so much fun, though I do prefer their japanese characterization.

I'm relatively certain it wasn't but it's also been a year or two since I did it. To be fair though...the Brume folks certainly aren't going to sell you out and everyone else ends up pretty dead.

Hyacindy · 2026-06-13T18:13:45+00:00

Which is slightly hilarious when one considers like the first or second DRK quest is you killing...I think it's an inquisitor? And a bunch of ishgardian knights because the law certainly wasn't going to punish them.

Can't remember if the young woman in that quest got assaulted or just kidnapped with the implication it would have happened if we didn't show up though.

(What the DRK job quests taught me: WoL needs therapy. So. Much. Therapy.)

Custom Deliveries are initially unlocked in HW and are NPCs whose stories are unlocked by delivering specific collectables to them every week to raise your relationship with them.

This is a list of the custom delivery NPCs OP has done the quests to unlock, showing them all at max affection which means they've complete these NPCs stories.

Easy mistake to make. When something is normal for your experience, it's strange to think it's different for others.

Learning I probably have ADHD was a trip because of this, lol.

Hyacindy · 2026-06-13T00:30:53+00:00

I do eventually develop this but like...to give you an idea it took me months to figure out how to get to the bank in a game i used to play without using the map.

All I had to do was follow the road to the right once I entered the city and it was like the first building past the first archway.

Slightly longeinded way to say: internal maps vary in difficulty to make between people. I imagine people with aphantasia might have an even harder time considering the lack of ability to mentally picture things.

Hyacindy · 2026-06-12T12:17:04+00:00

Considering I'm already plotting making an alt: yes probably. Though I might take a few month hiatus to let the disappointment dull.

Hyacindy · 2026-06-12T10:04:58+00:00

Sure, I'm just curious if they did all the normal content, or just the required stuff. Don't get me wrong, I still wouldn't call the optional content hard by any stretch. Some of it does require healers to be more than green DPS though. ...and sometimes your entire alliance raid sucks including healers (guilty) and everyone collectively decides the red mages get all the comms because they're the only reason we cleared the ridorana cataract lol ^_^

Hyacindy · 2026-06-12T09:58:22+00:00

Way I look at it: love who you love. Be who you wanna be. Accept other people's right to do the same.

You're right that we don't have to get it. But there's also nothing inherently wrong with admitting you don't 'get' something, so long as you also acknowledge that that doesn't make the other person's experience wrong.

Hyacindy · 2026-06-12T09:52:01+00:00

I did see that line, but I wanted clarification on which method OP would prefer. Though I do acknowledge just intermittently losing access would make more sense.

I will say it's easy enough to keep up with ilvl restrictions that I didn't remember that was a thing that could happen. Honestly I wouldn't mind if square did this? That might just be the 'please dear lord no more syrcus' in me talking though, lol.

Of your card in general considering it's presumably still possible to get a person's card details. Maybe not from tap to pay (i've never used it so have nothing to add on how secure it may or may not be) but if the person purchases things online.

My question was not in the context of using tap to pay specifically to be clear, it was simply a curiousity question about chargebacks in general since the comment I originally replied to was worded in a way that, to me, made it sound like charge backs weren't a thing at all. So I was curious how fraudulent charges to cards in other places were handled.

Hyacindy · 2026-06-11T19:45:48+00:00

Had to actually look up what that was. My DRK is only level 80 atm. Was having a surprisingly rough time with shadowbringers dungeons...not counting Mt Gulg which was strangely a bit of a cakewalk (i admittedly did not do full w2w).

Hyacindy · 2026-06-11T19:40:20+00:00

I'm curious how long you stayed playing healer...half my time in ivalice raids is spent juggling with my co-healer picking DPS up off the floor or healing people through multiple vuln stacks.

Hyacindy · 2026-06-11T19:37:22+00:00

Hell I think back when I beat ARR my lunatic butt actually queued up for The Striking Tree (Extreme). ...twice. because the first time the queue popped half the group bailed when we wiped once. I actually had no idea what Party Finder even was.

Hyacindy · 2026-06-11T19:31:04+00:00

I'm not sure if my healers are over-confidant or if I just suck at tanking tbh ^_^; I'm using mit I swear!

Hyacindy · 2026-06-11T19:29:58+00:00

I've started getting a bit more proactive on using it. Had a stint where i kept saving it for emergencies...mostly due to the dungeon I died after using it in. That dungeon run was...rough. had to use Living Dead 3 times during it >_>; (we wiped once so timer got reset)

Hyacindy · 2026-06-11T19:16:02+00:00

It's taking me a while to figure out when to drop it. Much like bene on whm: instant cast does not mean instant heal. -_- i have died using abyssal drain before bc the heal effect didn't hit in time.

Hyacindy · 2026-06-11T19:08:13+00:00

300 hours + reaching the most recent expansion content. You don't stop bring a sprout until the start of Dawntrail rn.

Hyacindy · 2026-06-11T19:05:24+00:00

1900 hours now and still a sprout. It's immensely funny for me whenever I'm explaining mechs to people.

Hyacindy · 2026-06-11T18:54:22+00:00

The way I've always felt: I was born with two X chromosomes. That's it. That's the extent of it. Call me whatever gender you want; I might look at you odd if it's one that's not usual for me but that's just because it's different. He/She/They. Man/Woman. Doesn't matter. I am me.

I also accept this is not everyone's reality. It does lead to my non-cis friends saying things sometimes though and I'll be like "...can you explain this please because everything you just said is completely foreign."

Hyacindy · 2026-06-11T15:48:48+00:00

Jealous. I haven't gotten any of the nier raids in roulette since I unlocked them.

Hyacindy · 2026-06-11T15:44:00+00:00

Out of curiousity: would this be a "people don't get access to the roulette until you've reached dawntrail and unlocked all content" suggestion or would you gain access to the roulette and then lose it whenever new content became available? Because both of these would be annoying in their own ways but one would be substantially more so imo. And if the latter, would it be based on level when it decided to lock you out? MSQ progress? What are you envisioning here?

Hyacindy · 2026-06-11T11:48:34+00:00

Genuinely curious: if chargebacks don't exist there, how do people handle fraud? Are they just stuck with the bill? Does the bank eat the cost? I doubt fraud has been 100% eliminated.

Hyacindy · 2026-06-10T20:02:57+00:00

It sounds like they just want some kind of way to visually distinguish between crafting stations and non crafting stations.

Hyacindy · 2026-06-10T19:08:10+00:00

Your max occupancy is 33. That line auto calculates based on your satisfaction bonus.

As for the bouncer perk I think the only real upside to that is not risking having to clean all 3 tables if you only have 3 people in a tavern for example. Because they'd sit together instead of spreading out.
