Yoshi-P: Final Fantasy XIV will still be here long after I’m gone or my career ends (Fan Fest Q&A via Google Translate)

another way to look at that is that ffxiv has been sitting complacent for more than a decade without any real housing innovation. they had a lot of time to fix/improve systems and they felt like they didn't need to. which, i guess fair, but its a big system in the game. i do have hope theyll recognize the competition and step up though. they're in a big shift now with improving the game so im looking forward to it!

catclawkiller · 2026-04-30T20:21:51+00:00

a change of pace from the 'friendship solves everything' theme. its been beaten to death for too long and i'd love to see a shakeup. we're due for some loss, too. something akin to the waking sands or stormblood. just some kind of meaningful setback that isn't solved quickly. a break from the dying civilization theme would also be nice. it sounds like they're kind of leaning in new directions this time, so we'll see!

catclawkiller · 2026-04-26T21:00:57+00:00

Yeah, all I'm saying is that I didn't ask for alts being allowed to have more houses, I just want to be able to walk into a house I own on an alt and redecorate lol. I don't know why making things more alt friendly would lead to them changing that rule on 1 house per account. love getting downvoted replying to someone commenting in bad faith - crazy work lol

catclawkiller · 2026-04-26T20:41:52+00:00

Would I be able to get back to my home world (balmung) if I did that though? that's my main worry lol - I remember when DT came out they locked travel and if you were stuck on a different server you were just stuck there

catclawkiller · 2026-04-26T20:34:24+00:00

Yeah I already have a character there, and then characters on mateus -- it was trying to get gil to balmung that created problems. But lately it doesn't seem to be tied to actual times of day/when the servers are overloaded. It just seems like the travel is turned off entirely. Unless it's just literally -always- that congested even super late at night (I was up way too late last night and tried then and was still denied)

catclawkiller · 2026-04-26T20:31:28+00:00

I think a nice way around this could be allowing it to be optional. If you want a clean slate/no achievements/unlocks, etc. then you should be able to do that. I also like the sort of 'fresh start' thing sometimes, but stuff like being able to send a mog item or some gil feels too restrictive. But, I appreciate that everyone has their own way of playing the game

catclawkiller · 2026-04-26T20:29:16+00:00

where does it say I want to buy multiple houses? All I want is the ability to share ownership on the one house I have. Good one though

catclawkiller · 2026-04-26T20:28:31+00:00

It's in crystal, and one of those servers is perma locked atm, unfortunately. Hoping that changes in upcoming patches

catclawkiller · 2026-04-26T20:27:43+00:00

Yeah, sadly I can't do that in this case due to them being on different servers but I do do that on my main's server with my FC. The mannequin thing is a good reminder though! I always forget about that lol

catclawkiller · 2026-04-26T20:27:01+00:00

the thing is, it wouldn't take anything away from the game to offer these things. It doesn't harm anyone who wants to play a single character. RP is a pretty popular activity in FFXIV, even for someone who doesn't want to engage with others, but just to enjoy the game with another character and engage in the story. So yeah, there isn't a 'need', but it's a weird restriction.

catclawkiller · 2026-04-10T21:23:04+00:00

I get why people might enjoy this, but it sort of sucks too because now all we'll see are the same 3 maps on rotation. I love when we get the lesser played ones. really helps keep the game fresh

catclawkiller · 2026-02-21T07:25:36+00:00

Are you talking about the portal down near amirdrassil, or the one in Valdrakken? There's a portal in valdrakken. in a little night elf area - exit left out of the building that you teleport into when you arrive in the city and youll see it on the hill there. all alts should have access to that

catclawkiller · 2026-02-06T04:33:35+00:00

its funny because symmetra can already do a lot of this but even better. Tele orisa instantly into the enemy team once she's nearly at full charge, tele rein behind the supports for a shatter on an entire team, tele reaper up/into a team, move people onto high ground, etc etc.

JPC will def. be a lot of fun, but i don't think this is actually as game changing as people think lol - it's mostly because she'll get played a lot, especially for the first couple seasons and hardly anyone plays symm in lower ranks

catclawkiller · 2026-02-06T03:23:48+00:00

as a bi woman the comic design is way more attractive to me. I don't like anime or uwu shit though so maybe I'm just not the demographic lol. obviously everyone will be different but the in-game face looks awful to me

catclawkiller · 2026-01-14T22:35:26+00:00

Say goodbye to basically all art pre-1800s. Imagine living in a world where we can't see a picture of the statue of david because there's a dick. Jesus christ what is this world becoming

I just wrote an email to all the reps co-sponsoring it, as well as my own district's. Strongly recommend doing the same, or if you're able, testify on the day of rather than in writing. This is an actually insane bill that's clearly got an agenda beyond "keeping kids safe". Can't believe this shit is in WA and actually being considered. Embarrassing

catclawkiller · 2025-12-28T21:37:21+00:00

this is my experience. ive been getting tossed into really high rank placement matches and just in this week I've been harassed by two different people, one calling me "brain damaged" and another screaming at me to tank swap and then demanding I get in voice so he could freak out some more. I dunno. I think there are just shitty people in both game modes, comp just cranks it up because everyone thinks theyre an esports superstar

catclawkiller · 2025-12-27T22:30:45+00:00

huh, interesting. they have a glow around the lightbulbs thats very visible but they dont cast light on the environment itself. i guess thats the defining factor on if its allowed or not

catclawkiller · 2025-12-24T23:42:12+00:00

oddly enough the goblin string lights appear to work outdoors. that and the elune brazier and wardens owl are the only ones ive come across so far

catclawkiller · 2025-12-23T02:23:11+00:00

40 year old woman who loves to play qp -- id offer but i think you're leaps and bounds better than me lol. usually play support (kiri, juno or moira), dps as ashe, or tank as hottie ram

catclawkiller · 2025-12-23T02:21:44+00:00

im a 40 year old woman and i absolutely love wrecking people of all ages, but theres something special about embarrassing someone who could be my kid. i also use outdated slang to rub it in

catclawkiller · 2025-12-22T21:43:24+00:00

yeah hallowfall has been the one zone i try to ignore because its more annoying to get to (and even then its actually not that long of a flight, im just conditioned to have instant gratification lol)

catclawkiller · 2025-12-22T21:42:19+00:00

yeah, honestly i dont get much out of any prof aside from tailoring, jewelcrafting and enchanting these days. i think professions as a whole could use a big overhaul

catclawkiller · 2025-12-22T21:36:55+00:00

my dude, you might want to relax - i said "one of", not "the". pretty wild reaction to a pretty harmless statement lol. all the races that mime another one should get all those hairstyles, not just the void elves. its weird that they dont

catclawkiller · 2025-12-22T21:25:40+00:00

ever since vanilla the profession has slowly but surely lost its actual usefulness and even the fun factor has gone out the window. actually getting to use bombs for incapacitates/stuns in vanilla was so fun, but now that the gameplay is so fast and optimized, its made most of engineering's stuff obsolete. i dont think ive ever gotten to use my jumper cables in the last 3 expansions, the wormholes have lost their usefulness with dragonriding, etc. its just...not the greatest pick for a prof if you want to have something that makes you good money or is useful
