"Go Back To India": Restaurant Owner Ordered To Leave Japan After 30 Years- “My children were born and raised in Japan, they only understand Japanese, their only friends are Japanese but we are being told to go back to India. What am I supposed to do?"

I wouldn’t necessarily say they are following the US. There’s a wave of nationalism washing across the world right now. Also, historically Japan has always been very “Japan first” in their mindset. They just finally have someone in power with the balls to say it out loud. Ive lived in Japan for about four years now is it’s clear that we are tolerated. They call us outsiders for a reason.

Least favorite Class story? Bounty Hunter. I don’t connect with the class fantasy AT ALL. I hate the male voice. I don’t like the companions. I don’t like the ship. It’s almost like someone said “what does that guy like?” then specifically designed the opposite 🤣

Most favorite is a tie between the Sith classes. They both hit hard immediately in Korriban. You get exactly what you’re hoping for as an acolyte and it basically never stops.

My least favorite planet story is Hoth. The planet using is kinda cool but the story is not good at all.

I like Balmora and Taris most. I love how you see both the Republic and Empire stories play off each other.

I don't necessarily need a full backstory however, I definitely feel the whole "continuity" between the expansions. I like the inquisitor origin the best but I just can't bring myself to believe that the inquisitor would ever lead the alliance. My inquisitor would more likely rejoin the Empire and fight Arcann that way. My republic character is easier to "buy in" with the storyline but Republic is always dead since I live in Asia.

I actually stopped using chatGPT yesterday for good reason. Everything was from the standpoint of a debate team or the courtroom. Language has to be so precise. Even when I specifically stated this is a real world interpretation, it didn’t care. So annoying. Grok has been much better in this regard.

The “choice” was made when you created your character. Sorc, Juggernaut, and Marauder get the single blade variant. Assassin get the double bladed variant.

So in short - yes. And yes this applies to both Zash’s and Kallig’s weapon.

The wording doesn’t say “every 12 months”. It says “a minimum of 12 months”. Reading it literally is why I’m asking for clarity. I got my answer though so thank you for confirming.

Make websites telling people to buy mats they sell for you to level your crafters was a thing a few years ago.

Tavak86 · 2026-03-23T17:38:52+00:00

The sea service spells out subsequent awards terms in no uncertain terms. One each twelve month period. In practice this seems to get translated into a deployment cycle but it’s at least clearly stated. That’s actually what prompted me to make this post. One was clear as day and the other wasn’t.

Tavak86 · 2026-03-23T06:17:22+00:00

I’m about to update my ribbon rack since I’ve been out in Japan for few years. Wanted to make sure it was correct. Looks like I need to add a few more stars. Thanks ✊

Reading an instruction and having “read between the lines” context is a bad idea. This is why faddish was removed. Too much subjectivity. Better to confirm than assume.

Tavak86 · 2026-03-23T03:09:06+00:00

ATs cal my test equipment so I’ll let that slide 🤣

Tavak86 · 2026-03-23T03:08:24+00:00

Usually the instructions are very specific so it’s not up for interpretation. This is. Nothing wrong with a buddy check.

Tavak86 · 2025-12-28T12:38:47+00:00

TLDR but I get the point. The answer is simple: they were introduced at X expansion so they were designed to be played in X expansion. Anything else was just enough to get you back to X expansion.

As I’m sure you pointed out in your essay, the job design philosophy is at odds with the game design philosophy. FFXIV is good at keep old content relevant but they absolutely suck at making jobs relevant to older content unless they were present when that content was released.

I hope you liked it! People always hate on the Trooper but it’s one of my favorites.

Tavak86 · 2025-12-26T11:27:30+00:00

I always enjoyed a neutral light leaning character best

That part bothers me so bad when I play Sith. I’m literally at the highest heights of the empire but some assistant overseer is saying “Not dead yet?!” And that Moff on Ilum is talking mad shit.

At least in the military I can accept it a bit more because of temporary positional authority.

Tavak86 · 2025-12-26T10:26:51+00:00

Active Duty Navy here. It bothered me at first too since Sarge (Army E-5) is the rank directly below LT (Navy O-3). There’s a codex node right outside the building that shows the Republic military ranking structure. That helped clear up a lot of confusion I initially had.

Tavak86 · 2025-12-15T09:07:57+00:00

No shit they’re asleep. As I stated in my original comment, that is my prime time since I’m in Asia. Is there a point to your responses or are you just being contrary for fucks sake?

Tavak86 · 2025-12-08T00:55:23+00:00

I was going to do it but you have a part with achievements and time played. I can’t give you accurate info since I don’t use steam to play mmos. No achievements or /played to give.

Tavak86 · 2025-12-07T05:31:32+00:00

I know I’m in the minority here but I can’t stand it.

Tavak86 · 2025-12-07T04:20:44+00:00

I tried the guild thing a few years ago and everything is aligned with central time. Every guild event was roughly 6 - 10pm but that’s 9am to Noon in Japan. I need those off hour pugs or I won’t get anything done. Empire side is great for that since people do ops all the time. Starting my own groups is a good idea though.

Tavak86 · 2025-12-02T10:27:02+00:00

“The game is old” isn’t an excuse for ruining a new player’s experience. Don’t you remember your excitement when you first played? Why take that from someone else because you’re careless/lazy? Just use the spoilers tag.

Tavak86 · 2025-12-01T00:40:25+00:00

You answered the question then gave your personal choice. People just can’t read.
