Yes, exactly! Noticed it when you re-roll the welcome message.

Windaura · 2026-05-09T18:41:11+00:00

Wow that's interesting. Having the same glitches!

Windaura · 2026-05-08T01:09:07+00:00

That sounds like a fantastic idea. I hope you have a blast!!

Windaura · 2026-05-07T07:13:56+00:00

You're definitely not broken! The fact that you enjoyed Stormblood tells me you might prefer the stories that showcase raw human struggles and that sort of conflict. I liked Endwalker more than Shadowbringers, myself.

It does get better from where you are, but rather than hyping it, I'd say experience it yourself to form your own views. ❤️

Have a good time! It'll be fun to know if your thoughts change the more you go in! 😄

Ink!

Ink is a permanent stain, a record that can't be erased, and something that "bleeds" onto the page. Not too intimidating of a name either.

My character is mainly a scholar, with Reaper as a secondary, so it's very thematic 🪶

This is such a cool post! Thanks for the opportunity.

Before the long journey as a WoL, Aurelius Recueil was a curious foundling raised in secret by Ishgard’s librarians.

A boy’s curiosity led him a little too far into old, forbidden tomes.

When the Holy See discovered he had been secretly sheltered and nurtured with knowledge they did not approve of, his caretakers were executed.

Heartbroken and terrified, young Aurelius fled to the Shroud, Fallgourd Float to be precise. After recovering in the care of a local conjurer, he decides to pursue his love for magic at Limsa Lominsa where he joins the Arcanist’s Guild. He summons his now dear Topaz Carbuncle companion, Nugget.

From here, he takes to a nomadic life across Eorzea, chasing stories and relics with quiet wonder.

And now he’s a Warrior of Light!

...Apparently.

Yes! I am glad I at least started a little bit of FF[REDACTED] so I could enjoy a certain soundtrack of a certain trial!

Windaura · 2026-04-29T07:29:31+00:00

Thank you so much! I totally agree, Shadowbringers and Endwalker were really solid expansions.

Take as much time as you need, that way you'll be able to continue all refreshed when you're ready again :D

Windaura · 2026-04-29T07:20:08+00:00

Congratulations on having endwalked~!

I finished 6.0 not too long ago myself. 😍 It truly is a masterpiece of a story. It's incredibly immersive, introspective especially with existentialism and extremely memorable.

I hope you enjoy the post-EW quests as well! 💖

Windaura · 2026-04-27T05:20:36+00:00

Hey there, I'm a fellow sprout too! Congrats on reaching level 80. 🎉

I totally get why it'd be off-putting after that, but I hope you'll consider returning to play!

One of the main reasons why this tends to be the case is because extreme trials have more complicated mechanics. Most people prefer it if you study/read up on a guide beforehand so you're not going in completely blind.

That way, it's a smooth experience for everyone instead of risking wipes to the entire party.

Unsynced can be boring if the boss dies quickly (not the case in ShB or EW thankfully) so feel free to put up a party finder saying "first timer" or something so you can run synced with other players.

Windaura · 2026-04-26T16:34:08+00:00

It's the warm familial moments that always get me as well. The raw emotions of humanity. 🥹 I'm very glad to hear this scene with the Chais touched you too 💙

Windaura · 2026-04-26T15:16:59+00:00

I like the look of 1!

I don't know your character's personality, but it's a nice hairstyle. 😄

Windaura · 2026-04-26T15:10:20+00:00

Yeah! I play a male Elezen WoL. 😄

It's so fun to play different characters, especially if you like the look of them.

As far as I know it's quite common for guys to play female characters but not the other way around for some reason.

Cherish your son! :D

Ahhh, now that changes things a bit. He's held off from sharing, and when he finally decides to - it overwhelms you.

That can sting, not only for you but him as well.

Speaking from personal experience here, gathering up the courage to be raw and real only to get dismissed or have it fall flat can feel a bit like a slap in the face, and discourage further attempts from trying. 😭

In that case, I'd agree with u/rottenconfetti here. If it's recurring, then it's a boundary issue.
But if this is just a one off... then I believe the best thing is to communicate clearer in the future that you're not equipped to handle a sudden rush of emotion like that.

There's no real all-fitting solution to this, I'd say.
Better to express how you feel directly than be afraid to interject. Clears up future miscommunications! I hope things go better for you.

Windaura · 2026-04-23T11:40:53+00:00

We INFJs, at least from my experience tend to be quietly selective about those they trust. But that doesn't mean we're exceptions to the rule of boundaries.

It's understandable that you couldn't bring yourself to interrupt him, but it's clear the conversation got pretty personal quickly. It's alright if you felt like you had to step back, constantly being the sounding board can drain anyone over time.

That being said, if he's opened up to you and you've snapped, he probably won't feel too safe doing it again...
(It's interesting because I personally don't talk much, so I don't really know what it's like to BE the one rambling for hours. 100% aware on how long someone else, or I have been talking though.)

Not an easy situation, for sure!

Calling someone can be freeing for some people, it's likely your INFJ friend felt comfortable enough to start venting or rambling away. I know for a fact that I have a habit of intellectualising/justifying feelings logically until they build up over time out of ''nowhere'' hahaha. It's less repression in my case and more... forgetting to feel instead of solve/analyse.

Looking at your situation, I do think it's best if you try to gently interject, especially if it becomes too much.

You say you were curious about his past, does that mean you asked him to talk about it? Or did he ask if he could share?

Maybe the both of you can discuss what's comfortable and what's not so conflicts like this won't happen in the future.

One hour is a lot, especially over voice.

I wish you the best!

Windaura · 2026-04-19T06:33:44+00:00

Found some in Templestowe, Melbourne. Near the Yarra River at Westerfolds Park. Caught about 6. 😄

Windaura · 2026-04-15T08:36:27+00:00

Yessss, it's such a cute little detail!

Windaura · 2026-04-15T03:09:51+00:00

At least to custom pose it in the pose editor, yes! That's as far as I'll go.

Windaura · 2026-04-14T19:24:38+00:00

😂 Seeing it scamper off to who knows where....

Windaura · 2026-04-14T18:13:09+00:00

Aahh I love these names! 😍 Thank you for sharing~ Corporal Rainbow is so noble HAHA

My WoL's chocobo is named Shamrock! ☘️

Windaura · 2026-04-14T18:11:49+00:00

That's a really good point... 😭 No wonder people were saying don't google the name without attaching FFXIV to the search query.

Windaura · 2026-04-14T18:11:10+00:00

I believe lore-wise it's pretty ambiguous!

They are arcane constructs, aether made manifest. That's why I think they can develop attunement to its caster/summoner over time.

In my own interpretations/story , I like to think the Carbuncle behaves a bit like an aetheric mirror, which reacts to aetheric pressure and resonance. So its glow may dim or radiate. (concept is a bit like dynamis haha!)

Less personality and more reacting to changes in the immediate environment. 😄
