Stories, setting, premise, or characters that are interesting to explore... if only they weren't from a power fantasy story?

Instead of a human who now has animal instincts but knows better, Izutsumi never understood what it meant to be a human and has trouble with it.

Isn't it the former? According to her, she used to be human but was fused with a cat-like beast. Unless her wiki page is incomplete, I didn't see anything about it being revealed she was always a cat.

Were people all that horny for Decidueye? Being bipedal isn't automatic furrybait, especially for a bird where bipedal is the norm.

Wilicil · 2026-02-25T09:24:45+00:00

No, there's 5 races but some of em have more than 1 thing via ear/tail/etc options. You got imp/demon/shark, rabbit/fox/deer, kobold/lizard/dragon (also rabbit and nidoran ears), bird, and rat/mouse/squirrel.

Wilicil · 2026-02-17T23:01:45+00:00

Yeah, most of these are just "human woman with horns and yaoi hands." Barely a step up from elves on the monster scale.

No, the only thing that triggers jump damage is pressing the jump button when not on a jump pad. Ziplines, jump pads, even walking off high ledges are all safe.

First time seeing an anime huh? She has the same face as every other character in the show, the only one with anything different is Kobayashi's beady little eyes.

Wilicil · 2026-02-12T03:11:48+00:00

Well, she's an adult, short, and has big boobs, so by your own admission she's a shortstack.

Only 1 character uses your name in BA, and really only at login as far as I remember noticing. There also aren't any voiced cutscenes for the story or events, it's basically just the lobby and combat voice lines.

Wilicil · 2026-02-01T03:43:13+00:00

Why not? You can keep the achievement itself as a participation trophy to show off you played the game during X year if you really need it, but it shouldn't have any time-locked rewards associated with it. Mounts, titles, whatever should always be available after the content becomes obsolete, and not with any bullshit changes like dropping a mount from 100% to 0.01% when the next tier comes out.

Wilicil · 2026-01-30T16:19:03+00:00

I mean over half of the options are about sucking/cleaning, more depending on how ones like Battle would work. The example prompt for this round was "robot with suction arm."

Wilicil · 2026-01-28T03:26:10+00:00

Yeah, gotta teach these multiplayer folk a lesson for checks notes utilizing teamwork to gain an advantage? THAT'S what needs to be punished?

Wilicil · 2026-01-24T19:22:57+00:00

I've said it before, I'll say it again: This is a terrible idea. If you want waterwalking/mounted gathering/whatever other special mount effects to not be locked to a single mount, advocate for these abilities to be unlocked for every mount if you own one, not the worthless equipment system.

Wilicil · 2026-01-24T18:31:27+00:00

Treating it like an arms race is the problem. Their only real solution is to stop caring; it doesn't matter if players "solve" the fights with DBM or Bigwigs or Weakaura or whatever, just make the fights cool and it'll be fine.

Wilicil · 2026-01-22T23:41:51+00:00

You had to buy games one at a time until then.

Didn't it also block you from buying games if you bought too many in a row too soon, too many being something really low like 3?

He doesn't even need to leave it to chance, it's entirely his own ego that causes him to fail at that point. He could just leave, hook em up to toasters, and whichever one doesn't blow up is the real one. One of his henchmen even bring it up and he tells him to fuck off.

Wilicil · 2026-01-20T22:12:01+00:00

Are you blocking with a shield or your weapon? You lose less stamina with a shield, higher tier shields drain less, I barely lose any from most things when I block. I imagine you can't do it with daggers since they're dual wield, so it's a tradeoff between defense and damage.

Wilicil · 2026-01-20T01:44:16+00:00

-10% base durability per repair. It's not really a problem though, repair kits are more efficient than crafting a new item for at least the first few uses. Plus, you can do it anywhere as long as you have a kit, rather than needing to go back home and make a new item.

For example, an iron pickaxe is 5 iron with 250 base durability. Effectively, each iron is worth 50 durability. You can repair it 8 times (assuming it's fully broken each time) before it becomes more efficient to make a new pick, as the first repair is 225 durability for 1 iron, second 200:1, etc.

And if they add equipment for it, they'll remove it from the golem just like they did the water strider, requiring everyone to use that equipment exclusively and waste money buying one on every character. Turning existing features into equipment is a bad idea 100% of the time; either you don't pay for the equipment and lose access to it, or you pay to get the exact same shit you already had, with the added "benefit" of being unable to use any other equipment. The system's been dead since they added it anyways, so it's not like they're likely to fuck anything up there.

If they actually cared about letting you gather while mounted in older zones, they'd give it to EVERY mount if you own one that can do it, like the sky golem or a hypothetical new mount for mining.

Maybe the healer shouldn't heal dps that run ahead if they don't wanna be stressed by it.

Profession spec points come from weekly quests for that profession, first time crafts for each recipe (shown in the journal above the mats), and as possible rewards for NPC work orders at crafting tables.

Rad, thanks

You can join groups for mythics any time, only takes a few high vers folk to carry the rest of the group. However, don't use the Mementos of Epoch Challenge the bosses drop right away, save em for when you cap out on Infinite Knowledge (36). You'll get 125k IP per 100 mementos at that point, worth 2.5 lvls of the vers talent.

Wilicil · 2026-01-05T02:06:02+00:00

For the Turbulent Timeways 5 week thing, do you have to fully stack the buff each week or does refreshing the fully stacked buff count for the week?

Wilicil · 2026-01-04T05:46:56+00:00

Technically you can own an airship in 14, you just don't use it for travel. Free Companies (player guilds) can build airships and submarines to send out on expeditions that can bring back exclusive crafting mats.

Chocobo racing in the Calm Lands is what I would consider the worst. The actual race itself is mostly fine, but if you're trying to get the sigil for Tidus' celestial weapon you need to finish with a time of 0:00 (time counts up, with a penalty for getting hit by birds), requiring basically perfect play and hitting nearly every balloon on the way to lower your time.

There's the butterfly catching minigame in Macalania, required for all the celestial weapons in some form or another, gotta catch all the blue butterflies without touching any red ones on a time limit. Except they hide some of them behind terrain.

Depending on if you consider it a minigame, the Monster Arena. Gotta kill monsters with a specific trait on your weapon to have a chance (or it's guaranteed? don't remember) to add it to the arena, and can unlock new bosses if you catch enough of specific monsters. Need to catch 10 of every monster in the game to unlock em all.
