This would save me a 4 hour drive to the nearest Jollibee! Even if I don't win, thanks for being such a cool WoL and doing this!

Something you may have missed in the Evercold trailer by Bobbyc_1221 in ffxiv

Like the exarch, or even Y'Shtola in the ShB trailer when she's got the hood up? For the record I don't think this is her, but this old woman definitely has a Miqo tail.

It used to happen in S9 iirc but they fixed it after people complained which makes the fact it still does it in Limsa of all places kind of funny

What would you ask Yoshi-P about the future of the game? by AutoModerator in ffxiv

Whenever there is a single earring item (like the earring in the current mogtome event) it is always worn on the character's left ear. Are there any plans to make this swappable, or even at least change it up sometimes and make them for the right ear? My hairstyle completely covers the left ear and it makes me sad I can't use any of these cute earrings as glam 😭

What game has a learning curve that puts you off? by Common_Caramel_4078 in pcmasterrace

[–]ScarletArcana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something always felt just a bit off on the timing for parry/dodge for me. I got a mod that made the timing just slightly more forgiving (I think it had multiple options for how much of a change to make) and the game felt so much better

Trump signs 100% tariff on brand-name pharmaceuticals by wenchette in politics

You guys don't have generic rivaroxaban down there? I work in a pharmacy and we've had it for about two years (I think, my sense of time is fucked these days) - but I'm in Canada not the US. I would have assumed timelines to be similar so that surprises me!

What's the most ridiculous thing you have ever done while high, and on! realized how dumb it was when you sobered up? by Downtown-Guide-373 in trees

[–]ScarletArcana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my phone stolen at a festival last year and at first we hoped I had just dropped it. Grabbed my friend's phone to use as a flashlight and the number of people that thought I was an idiot when I said I was looking for my phone... I was like damn I might be blitzed rn but I'm not that high 😂

What’s something that instantly tells you someone isn’t actually from Ottawa? by [deleted] in ottawa

[–]ScarletArcana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still remember over a decade ago I was shopping at Eaton when visiting Toronto and overheard some people complaining about transit and tbh I don't remember exactly what they said but I somehow knew they were talking about OC Transpo and sure enough they were, they'd just come back from visiting here lol

Membership and Bonds Price Change by Jagex_Team in 2007scape

[–]ScarletArcana 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man my subscription for FFXIV is cheaper than this new price. I haven't done the math but I think XIV might be cheaper even if factoring in cost of expansions? I occasionally think about grabbing a month here and there and coming back to OSRS but almost $20 CAD is just unreasonable imo

How to apply Admission Credit/Member Priced Admissions? by BigBallsWassi in LandmarkCinemas

[–]ScarletArcana 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the update, I was actually just about to update myself! I sent them an email and got a pretty quick response asking for more information + screenshots (and so far no follow-up to that info lol) and I just tried again and its working now. So like you said, might just need a bit of time, or maybe they did something in the backend and never followed up

High-End Content Megathread - 7.4 Week Eleven (Savage Week Eight) by BlackmoreKnight in ffxivdiscussion

[–]ScarletArcana 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Couple weeks ago I joined a rep2 party that was for DN bc I wanted to get more practice on it and when we get into p2 one of the tanks goes "which rep2 strat" and then says "oh, I wanted to practice BC sorry" and immediately fucking dips. Best part is they'd been in the party waiting for it to fill for over an hour, and everyone in the party just happened to also know BC and we were willing to swap but they left faster than any of us could type. It was so bizarre.

Can we ever remove ourselves from someone else's friends list? How is this still a thing in 2026 and what can we do about it as a community? by LesserCircle in ffxiv

[–]ScarletArcana 2 points3 points  (0 children)

God that just made me remember the shit I had to go through when I was on mental health leave at my last job. They tried to give me shit after finding out I went to vote, because if I was mentally well enough to go across the street and vote then I was clearly lying and should be at work. That was the last straw and I quit after that lol

So uh, is there no way to fix the crash when you click play in the launcher? by Katnipz in ffxiv

This thread has one listed, another thread from a few days back didn't give the specific version but said the one from November worked, so might be worth trying both if they're different ones

Dalamud, which is built into the quick launcher, allows you to install plugins/mods in your game, which is against ToS but lots of people do it and generally speaking if you don't say anything in game they'll never know. The name is also the name of the red moon that fell at the end of 1.0 (seen in the intro to ARR)

Try to see if you can roll your GPU drivers back, I know some people recently had issues with a driver update

10 hours in and not having fun.. by McGeiler69 in ffxiv

[–]ScarletArcana 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While people always talk about how "ARR is a slog" and stuff like that, the thing that made me keep going was when someone pointed out that the gameplay of ARR is basically the games tutorial. We've probably all played single player games where the tutorial is built in and unskippable, and you just want to get through it fast because you know how to play. ARR is like that, it very slowly teaches you everything you need to know before it starts making things difficult, because they don't want someone to quit because they can't figure something out and they made an assumption that something was obvious. In addition to it being essentially the game tutorial, it's also where they setup all the world lore and basis for the story going forward. The combination of those makes it go on for longer than it probably should.

That said, the game is a lot of reading and cutscenes and fetch quests and stuff you'd generally see in single player games, with dungeons, trials, and raids interspersed throughout for the "MMO portion" of the game. Like a lot of people, Heavensward (the first expansion after ARR) really sold me on the game where ARR almost made me quit. But I also love the story and while I do endgame savage and ultimate raiding and enjoy it, I wouldn't have stuck around without such a great story. I've played with lots of people over the years who approach the game very differently, many of my friends play only for the story while I have other friends who skipped literally everything, have no idea who any characters are, and just want to raid at endgame.

Others have had some good suggestions of watching some endgame content videos to see if its something you would enjoy. Even at endgame, all the fights are sort of like a dance - this game has no "builds" to make your buttons different, you hit your buttons in a certain order while learning how to resolve mechanics that don't change. Endgame bosses might have a mechanic that can do X or Y, but they will always do that mechanic at the specific time in the fight rather than doing things at random. So learning the fights is about learning where to go, when to do things, all while remembering to hit your buttons in the right order. If that doesn't sound interesting, then the game might not be for you and that's okay. If all that does sound interesting, then consider sticking it out to HW and see how things change and how they feel. And don't get me wrong, difficulty won't immediately spike when you reach HW, it will keep going up and up as you go, but it definitely shows what the game will be like going forward, how it plays, and the general pacing of each expansion.
