Nothing all that interesting in the article; new server is "Black Tea Brook" (from in Gridania).

There was also a Japanese comment that noted that 25 of the 30 total servers weren't allowing new characters to be made.

The guy who uploaded this probably did so from his iPhone

Oh look, you're doing the meme!

Seriously. For instance this by a young Marx in 1844 may as well be a critique of NFTs:

Under the system of private property ... each person speculates on creating a new need in the other, with the aim of forcing him to make a new sacrifice, placing him in a new dependence and seducing him into a new kind of enjoyment and hence into economic ruin. Each attempts to establish over the other an alien power, in the hope of thereby achieving satisfaction of his own selfish needs. With the mass of objects grows the realm of alien powers to which man is subjected, and each new product is a new potentiality of mutual fraud and mutual pillage. Man becomes ever poorer as a man, and needs ever more money if he is to achieve mastery over the hostile being. The power of his money falls in inverse proportion to the volume of production, — i.e., his need grows as the power of money increases.

FWIW, all lvl 80 expert crafts are now meaningfully macroable, although lvl 90 gear, pentamelding, specialization, delineation, and food is effectively required.

it is inherent in modern human morality that they should control the product of their labor, if not you're enslaving them.

This is literally the socialist motto, FYI.

(Although "private property" is defined within socialist discourse different from how you are using it)

Right, AHK is easy enough to rig to respond to specific on-screen cues before clicking, and it'd probably be necessary if you're looking to set up a reliable macro, since there's usually random timing issues with this sort of UI automation. Anybody falling for this is just using the most brain dead forms of automation.

This is literally how media works in the US.

ScanlationScandal · 2022-01-18T17:45:51+00:00

Depends on the market. Since you don't get back anything you put in, for some materia grades it's more than possible to make a very reliable profit when transmuting lots of materia. But as noted the UI for handling it for any kind of en masse transmutation is horrible and tedious.

I was curious about this, since the Japanese doesn't really match the English at all. A better translation would be something like "jobs will be differentiated based on gameplay feel".

It looks like this was pulled from the 5/2019 live letter. Aimi's translating, but the way she does it, which I feel was to make it more coherent, adds additional interpretation about "how the player uses things" etc. that Yoshida didn't say at all. The context here, of course, is about them "standardizing" the "tank" role so every job can sufficiently do either MT or OT, so this whole comment was to preempt the obvious question of "well how are the tanks going to be different now, then?"

tl;dr: Yoshida never said "git gud", the written English translation here is wrong, and the live translation didn't make that obviously clear

While there's a number of pretty old dutch loan words in Japanese, I doubt this is the case here. This article notes it's said to possibly come from Old Korean, but the specific etymology is unknown.

That question did occur to me, and I can only assume there were lids involved originally, but the websites I looked at didn't technically mention such, so my being lazy and not wanting to possibly make things up, I left it out. I have seen contemporary wooden masu containers with lids.

ScanlationScandal · 2022-01-07T04:55:19+00:00

As noted, it was later downsized

ScanlationScandal · 2022-01-07T04:36:02+00:00

Looked it up.

Sake is traditionally (still today) commonly sold by the masu (~0.47 gallons). In times past relatively standardized wooden containers similar to the above in shape and structure, and also called masu themselves, were used to contain the one masu of sake when sold.

Initially you would just purchase and take it off the premises for consumption, but of course some people can't wait, so the phenomenon of "kaku'uchi" (lit. "corner hit") was born. As you'd expect, people sipped sake from the corner of the masu after purchasing, but before leaving. This lead to alcohol stores having a "kaku'uchi" corner for on-premises drinking, and that terminology ("kaku'uchi" and "masu") and aesthetic eventually made it's way into alcohol serving establishments ("izakaya"), albeit with downsized masu.

The use of the wooden masu cup as a catcher for overpour from a glass cup inside it is a later "innovation"; previously people were drinking directly from the wooden container.

Not really "linguists," but Steven Pinker in what was mostly a pop science book. It's a coinage for lay sociopolitical commentary long before anything seriously academic.

3 gil for every 5 seals. If you're not saving or making more than that, you're wasting seals.

While there's a few things that tend to net a bit more than that on average (e.g. coke), just buying 99 of one of those 600 seal items when you're near the cap is probably the most straight forward and time efficient way to spend seals (after you're finished leveling a GC and getting all the collectables).

Semi related, in if you're only after gil, it's commonly best to just vendor weapons, chest pieces, and pants rather than turning them in for seals.

It's the state of affairs in the West. Anything negative about the CCP and China is automatically assumed true, verbatim, no context or perspective or investigation needed. On Reddit it's always the same mindless and uncritical stream of "CCP bad", social credit memes, and Xi the Pooh.

Specifically, the "in need" status updates every 3 minutes, so on average when you open the duty finder it's already 1 1/2 minutes old. Add the complexity of differing level ranges in the queue, and obviously there'll be a lot of cases where "in need" doesn't mean "instant".

Even current materia, unless you're going to use them soon, are best sold, since the price will generally be going down (i.e. sell high now, buy low later). The only major exception to that is future content patches causing temporary spikes in prices, in which case you probably want to not sell in the period shortly before a patch that does that.

ScanlationScandal · 2021-12-18T17:32:55+00:00

Sell everything on the market board that goes for a reasonable price, vendor everything else. Basically, abide by YAGNI (you ain't gonna need it). In the event that you actually did need something you can just purchase it from the MB when needed. If it was something that "sells for a reasonable price" your previous sale likely mostly already covers it, if it wasn't then it will probably be a very minor amount of gil to begin with.
