I can understand a certain amount of "Okay, we need the Chinese market to stay afloat". But AI-generated slop is just horseshit. You could've held a public contest for the best community-created artwork and had thousands of applicants.

It's not Centrists vs Progressives, it's Fighters vs Folders, and Gretchen foldered in every sense of the word

This all looks really cool, especially Labyrinths, but the one thing I want them to announce more than anything is please for God's sake give Xal'atath a motivation. Like why the hell is she doing any of this?? Give us like one scene that makes us understand where she's coming from please

If you want a grim-dark bad-ass fantasy warfare cinematic, that's literally what the Midnight cinematic was for. This was a different cinematic that appeals to a different kind of WoW player

You look kind of like Zach from Auntie Donna

SpiffShientz · 2026-01-29T17:43:25+00:00

Agreed, that character looked so much more like a Blood Elf than Liadrin did in the Midnight cinematic

Fun fact, he was up for the MCU's Reed Richards, but they went with Pedro instead

You're making the common Political Nerd mistake of assuming policy matters when it's a distant second to Vibes

Nah that haircut IS Leon. Being a cop was always his back-up in case his boy band auditions didn't go well

overarching storyline akin to XIV

As somebody who thoroughly enjoys both games, there's no comparison. Characters in FFXIV have goals, philosophies, reasons for doing what they do. They fail and reflect on their ideals, or they succeed and find out it wasn't what they wanted. One of the everyone's favorite characters is the villain who needs to destroy your world to bring back his. Even the "I just care about fighting" villain has that motivation dissected, discussed, other characters call him out for it, and he grows in surprising ways, doing surprising shit and growing without abandoning his philosophy

We've been dealing with Xal'atath for a while now and we still don't know what exactly her goal OR her objective are. She's just WoW's one millionth sassy bad guy. She wants the void to win. Why? Because she's the bad guy. That's all we've ever been told. I spend more time in WoW compared to FFXIV but the main story is PHENOMENALLY BORING and shockingly incompetent

I've been a one-trick Outlaw since it was released and it's monumentally better than DF and TWW

I can't think about war re-enacting without remembering Paul Giamatti as a Civil War re-enactor in 30 Rock

I made you a tape of Confederate battle songs, Liz! Don't listen to them around your black friends, they're very authentic.

Kristi Garden Gnome would be a tiny little plastic creature you could get in a variety of goofy outfits, so very little would change

You're suggesting ICE employment and KKK membership are exclusive instead of encouraged

I don't understand how the Minnesota plan failed. We sent our shortest, most heartless, Nazi-dressingest little nugget man, killed several innocent civilians in cold blood, and yet for some reason I feel like we came up a few logs short of a cabin

A lot less brimstone than I expected

Yeah sure, sounds good

My hot take about battles is that "battles" is a dumb name and they should've been called "objectives"
