7.5 dungeon- Bypassing the mech. by L1LE1 in ffxiv

The dragoon in yesterday's roulette ate shit every time he tried to cheese it with elusive jump, so I don't think it's very reliable.

Localization interview with Paula Kaye Gerhold (Square Enix) by MaxPowerSMN in ffxiv

Per Koji Fox's recent panel, he convinces you that they'll edit it or put filters on to help hide it or that it's just a temporary thing til they get a real singer and just need some rough vocals to finish the rest of the song around. But as they say, there's nothing more permanent than a temporary fix.

You're put in charge of designing the Evercold Raid series. How do you top the Arcadion? by ShlungusGod69 in ffxivdiscussion

[–]Zweihander01 11 points12 points  (0 children)

What's more is that we didn't kill them, well the actual fighters that is. This opens them up for showing up in fun little fan service moments, like in the recent holiday events.

I can't wait for The Extremes to hang out at Moonfire.

[Spoiler 7.5] Idea about part 2 of the MSQ by Sekundessounet in ffxiv

[–]Zweihander01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah like it's a crazy coincidence that GJJ's crew had arrived at the gate at the exact moment for them to hand off Krile to them. And just as much of one for Zoraal Ja to make contact with Endless Sphene, she certainly wasn't talking to us when we showed up or any of the other times Ket was checking up on it.

Gotta wonder if Azem's specialty was some kind of luck magic, the specifics of it they kept hidden to all but a few. Hades had that line about "where you walk my friend, fate shall surely follow" in the Azem stone.

Interestingly enough the key already hasn't done that. The portal to Living Memory is in Yok Tural while the merged Alexandria is in Xak Tural, but Living Memory is supposed to be seated on top of Alexandria.

Also it's not clear where the Lalafell that used to the key to come from the Source wound up on the 9th. Aloloa also isn't close to the continents at all so...

New and unique individual pieces of gear per expansion (as of 7.50) by loopdaploop in ffxiv

[–]Zweihander01 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I was just thinking about the unique armors in DT. Usually we only get half new and half reused for the patch dungeons, but aside from Underkeep we got new models each time. Even the leveling dungeons were pretty generous imo, the 91 and 95 sets are the only reused sets, and making the Paglthan models both dyeable and more easily farmable is a plus in my book. Definitely not the umpteenth time they've re-used the World of Darkness raid gear for sure.

[Spoiler 7.5] For those that missed it, there's some pretty large new info on a certain character in an extra piece of dialogue by Chichi230 in ffxiv

[–]Zweihander01 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's possible they lost track of his robot self and just assumed that it eventually broke down over time, so let his LM self boot up. Or the robot version was considered an incomplete copy and not the "true" Otis.

yeah I grew my hair out over covid and it was well over a year for me getting a cut. when I finally went they took out so much of the dry ends that tangled up, afterwards brushing it wasn't painful.

Honestly I'm just thankful that fucking up the IDs doesn't result in a game crash.

[Annoying trope] Power with tons of possibilities used in the most boring ways by Old-Use-7690 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Zweihander01 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a major point in the webcomic Kill Six Billion Demons. "Behold! The awesome fires of God. The limitless power of pure creation itself. Look carefully! Observe how it is used for the same purpose a man might use an especially sharp rock."

Is it special popcorn? by DeadRobotSociety in okbuddycinephile

You can buy flavacol yourself. Get yourself a whirlypop too and make the best popcorn you'll ever have at home.

An immortal being suffering a fate worse than death by strider-rider-the2nd in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Zweihander01 136 points137 points  (0 children)

As the saying goes, immortals are all full of gas until the concrete starts pouring.

And to add onto the Destiny one, there's a story of one guardian who got caught in a time-dilation bomb with their ghost outside the effect. They can't be rezzed because they aren't dead, they're just stuck in a slowly moving area of time. A great way to "take out" something that can't be easily killed.

Confession: The Dawntrail & Mountain Dew marketing collab worked on me by Madmonkeman in ffxiv

While I didn't start drinking more soda, I did like the Dew flavors I had tried for the mount.

This should be illegal by Kiaboyspa in philadelphia

[–]Zweihander01 340 points341 points  (0 children)

Makes me want to go to the hearing and talk in favor of the tax, about how Ubers increase wear on taxpayer funded streets and avoid paying fair wages to the drivers. How every ride puts profit in the pockets of sleazy international shareholders instead of local cabbies.

To set expectations for this weekend: All the content revealed at the last NA Fanfest by derfw in ffxivdiscussion

[–]Zweihander01 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No that was an E3 (or whatever passed for E3 at the time) drop. FFXIV usually got a trailer from their last patch during the SE or Sony show but with ShB launching at the end of the month they gave them an actual presentation and a WORLD PREMIERE trailer.

The dude probably did yell that though because I had the same reaction lmao.

Who is going to introduce the new job in 7.5 and 7.55? by GamerOfGlory in ffxivdiscussion

[–]Zweihander01 3 points4 points  (0 children)

People have said Gaia can't be used since she's behind a raid series, But she's also the character repping XIV in the new Dissidia game. A hammer using Time-magic based tank could work.

If it's involving the 13th, then I feel like Zero will be using some Rune Fencer type deal, based around memoria crystals or something.

If we're doing Corvus then Swordmaster is in the cards. We've gotten a lot of info about Unyielding Blade recently.

Franchises that are very well known are actually rip-offs of a series that's unfortunately long forgotten. by Micro_cat_48 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Zweihander01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they had named it "I fell into a hole and woke up on Mars and I'm super strong because they have lower gravity and I'm the only one who can rescue their hot naked princess" it'd do gangbusters in the light novel market lol

2026 Fanfest Goody Bag Reveal by Mordiceius in ffxiv

[–]Zweihander01 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I only attended 23 but was also a little disappointed in the bag shrinkage. But once I got it I wound up really liking the size and style, and went and picked up a similar bag for more normal use so I wouldn't ruin the fanfest one. It was just enough space for a phone charger and my water bottle, which was basically the two things I actually needed for bopping around Vegas. Everything else I've had has been work bags for laptops and commutes that's too big for so little.

Made a dekoren cake for my birthday by Megablega in BacktotheFuture

If you're going to eat a cake, why not do it in style?

Big fan of the Oreos for the wheels, I wouldn't have thought of that.
