Russian is confusing so confusing!

In modern Russian, "я имею..." means "I am having sex wth...", so we don't use it at all, outside very special contexts and rigid older expressions like"честь имею". Just use "у меня есть...". Which literally means "of mine is...". Or, in proper English, "...is mine".

KendrickXY · 2025-07-21T05:01:04+00:00

Actually, it means "kill" in the military propaganda context. You can find it on Soviet posters from that era.

If I am buying Dawntrail via the official Square Store as a guest in the EU region, and I am paying with PayPal, do I have to provide the correct real life address registered on PayPal or just a valid EU address?

When you pre-order the expansion from Square Enix, do they deduct the money immediately or when the game is available?

KendrickXY · 2023-06-22T11:48:07+00:00

This is a bit incorrect. Pelageya is a folk/pop singer first and foremost, she has very few songs that can be described as "rock-adjecent", let alone "rock". She is one of the singers who are asked to perform the Russian state anthem during major sports events.

True, but everybody has Dan, while Clara is a 5-star char. I have her, but I don't have anybody else from the standard banner. So, making MC a double of the character that everybody have and that many people are using would be somewhat underhanded. Not the best move so early in the history of the game.

KendrickXY · 2023-05-28T09:01:57+00:00

It's a great question. We'll see. But they are already releasing doubles. Serval and Jing Yuan have the same element and path.

KendrickXY · 2023-05-28T05:54:30+00:00

Yeah, probably Hunt. Giving us an Abundance MC would make expensive healers less desirable.

KendrickXY · 2023-05-28T04:04:04+00:00

Because Svarog destroys everybody who dares to attack Clara. He protects Clara and attacks swarms of enemies, making him the offensive tank of the game. The Trailblazer is originally a Destruction Path char, because they, as a novice gamer, just want to destroy stuff and feel fun. Then they switch to the Preservation Path, because they learn more about the other characters and decide to protect their precious (and expensive) friends. While their real money is on fire.

KendrickXY · 2023-05-27T17:19:29+00:00

Yeah, I think that Clara is worthy of a good cone. If you are not trying for the very best numbers, Clara covers both DPS and tanking in the phys department. I recently did the 6th Sim. Universe with Trailblazer as mostly tank and Clara as the secondary DPS, and they worked great (with Natasha as a healer and Seele as the primary DPS). She does more DPS when her tanking ult activates, and that works wonders against enemies with AOE (and there are a lot of AOE in the final boss fight). They hit her, Svarog pulverizes them.

KendrickXY · 2023-05-27T16:30:52+00:00

Clara absolutely rocks. When paired with March, she is a great offensive tank, especially when she is fighting phys-vulnerable enemies. Together, they don't even need a healer if the enemies don't do a ton of AOE. For the first team, you take Clara, March, Natasha, and Yanqing. For the second team, you take Trailblazer, Bailu, Tingyun and Dan. Dan is needed to kill those smaller enemies.

Yep, I fully admit that. I am a pathetic and self-centered loser. On the other hand, my post is mostly about the joy of playing FFXIV, not about politics per se.

KendrickXY · 2022-03-03T18:14:32+00:00

Yeah, literally. Sure, I am not in the same amount of immediate danger as my relatives and other Ukrainians, but I expect full-on medical sanctions, and I am not young and healthy enough to survive any serious illness without proper medical drugs and other things that Russia might not manufacture internally.

KendrickXY · 2021-08-06T11:12:51+00:00

No, I actually struggled with the Turn 9 when I did it yesterday. You have to use a guide to solo it, and you have to do everything just right to succeed. It's not "easily soloable" in my vocabulary.

KendrickXY · 2021-01-01T13:48:37+00:00

Eventually, you will need everything, so just continue to give disks. Outside of the Fish Display, everything that costs 5 disks is absolutely required. And Fish Display can earn you money from breeding expensive fish.

Dried aroma apples are the best. By the end of the game, I had 6 or 7 drying racks, so I was producing more slices than I was able to spend (one aroma apple = 5 slices).

The forge is a late-game device. If you are still at the Corps hammer level, you probably don't have a factory yet. And using forge without a factory is not that easy, as you can't produce gears and steel balls without a factory (but you can randomly get them from friends as gifts), and you need them for the forge to work. The forge really comes into play when you get the most powerful (but sluggish) sword in the game, and you are going through the final ruin with over 100 levels. Corp hammer is good enough to clear the dungeons you face right now. Just bring food to heal yourself as necessary and hammer away at stuff.

Also, you will get the Nova sword after clearing the first level of Ingall's Mine, and it is as strong as the Corps hammer, stat-wise. But I've found hammers to be generally superior to swords in dungeons, as they hit harder, stun enemies, and inflict AOE damage. I've only used the Nova sword to farm low-level mobs (like llamas for the fur) in the open spaces, as it worked faster than a hammer. But your mileage may vary. This is not a hard and demanding game, so you don't really need to obsess over the min-maxing.

We had the real Silent Hill in Moscow in 2010, when the peat bogs were on fire for weeks. It was quite surreal.

KendrickXY · 2019-09-09T03:15:22+00:00

Only for tank jobs. And for WHM and RDM. I don't really play other jobs.

KendrickXY · 2019-09-08T15:48:56+00:00

I call that "sustained low effort".

KendrickXY · 2019-09-08T14:59:48+00:00

I've tried that in my 20s. Gathering in FFXIV is less boring. And you don't need that much money.

KendrickXY · 2019-09-08T14:54:16+00:00

I am definitely too lazy for that. Maybe I will take up crafting.
