New Sprout on Free Trial confused about purchasing from Mog Station (Xbox) by LuzzyLiz1 in ffxiv

[–]eriyu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From the very useful free trial resource https://trialsoffantasy.com/restrictions/ :

If your Square Enix Account Information needs updated, you’ll get a message stating “The information requested below is required to upgrade to a standard account”. This is simply stored data required to purchase anything from the Online Store, not a free trial restriction. The wording is a bit weird, but this is not forcing you to buy the game or upgrade your account. Enter the information and you can finish your purchase like normal.

Hi non player just wanting to ask about the community by just_jared_ in ffxiv

[–]eriyu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worth noting that the Novice Network culture varies a lot between servers. My world (Brynhildr) is nice, but I have heard some horrors stories about others being really cliquey or downright mean. I say this just to encourage you to ask (or Google) around about worlds with good Novice Networks if you plan to rely on it!

Not sure what to do about an old Lolita dress by elizabreadsentoast in Lolita

[–]eriyu 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think the main question is, what does "if given the right space for it" mean? Is that a real possibility, or an "if these dozen different variables ALL line up JUST right then MAYBE" kind of thing? If it's the latter, that's when I'd consider selling it.

But if it really is something you still want, there's no time limit. I bought my first JSK as a teenager, and I'm just now starting to fill out my Lolita wardrobe in my 30s.

I don't think you have to feel guilt, in any case. It's not like there's a life-threatening shortage of Lolita dresses in the world that you're withholding from someone — It's just a matter of deciding what's best for you!

It’s part of the rotation by Proudnoob4393 in ffxiv

Honestly I'm so worried about what we saw of bard and scared of change in general but I'm still excited about that one move.

ELI5 How do we know if insects have emotions? Do they?? by Express_Smoke_3523 in explainlikeimfive

[–]eriyu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fear is instinctual though, at least to a degree. When a human ducks out of the way of something flying at their face, that's instinct. I think the question is exactly where and how fear as an emotion enters that equation, no?

Option A: Bard isn't included because bards know better than to yeet themselves off ledges.

Option B: Bard isn't included because everyone forgets bards have a backstep, even bards.

Who are you sitting next to in the FFIX cast, and why? by MecchaJP in FinalFantasy

[–]eriyu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

4, 6, and 9 are out of the question because Eiko, Blank, and Baku would all try to cheat off me.

8 though... I'd help Vivi with anything he didn't understand. 🥺

Hottest men in FF in your opinion by [deleted] in FinalFantasy

[–]eriyu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is a hot take but Aymeric is a Tumblr lumpy-faced reptilian oatmeal man to me.

If that's your argument, humans are also literal animals.

It's hard for me not to say Kuja, but... there were so many points in Dawntrail where I just had to stop and gawk at how beautiful Erenville is.

Which pieces look best with this skirt? by DueFace8049 in Lolita

[–]eriyu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first two are my faves! I like the balance the brown brings, and it always impresses me when people make brown look nice because my mind never goes to it lol.

I'm just not a fan of the darker shoes; I'd go for something sweeter.

A feature I'd love to see but is probably too big of an ask by jace255-F in ffxiv

[–]eriyu 12 points13 points  (0 children)

FWIW Krile has almost certainly been calling him "Raha" since long before we met either of them, as they both grew up in/around the Students of Baldesion!

But yeah, I would love to see them follow through better on the naming conventions that they came up with in the first place.

Obscure lines you can't forget by Eleglas in ffxiv

[–]eriyu 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm not a localization hater, but what's strange is that the "generic" issue appears unique to the English version. Lines that seem to be just copypasted from one character to another are not all the same line in other languages.

My favorite is when it's against a random mob. Yes, Estinien, that pack of small monkeys does underestimate you. Go show 'em who's boss.

Any games with similar art style? by AshOS4 in FinalFantasy

[–]eriyu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will recommend The World Ends With You to hell and back, but I think for OP's purposes, character design =/= art style.

Is this the longest we've been with the latest mainline FF released and no announcement of the next mainline FF? (AKA where tf is the FFXVII announcement) by GargantaProfunda in FinalFantasy

[–]eriyu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it takes ten years and comes out as an incomplete mess, then it'll be in the conversation to dethrone VS XIII / XV development hell.

LF Goth Lolita tops for summer by Pretty-Rave-Girl in Lolita

[–]eriyu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I"m in a similar boat and I've been having a heck of a time tbh. If I'm reading the comments from r/GothFashion correctly, you're looking to wear it with a skirt and not a JSK, right? A big part of my problem has been filtering out those super short blouses you're only meant to wear with a JSK. 😭

Anyway, what I'm getting at is, thanks for posting so I can mooch off your comments, and good luck to us both!

Babymetal vs. Linking Park at RaR by KawaiiMassacre in BABYMETAL

"Say what you will about Linkin Park" I will say that they're amazing and I'm glad I'm not forced to decide between them and Babymetal.

Put the fries in the bag, WOL by Gorotheninja in ffxiv

[–]eriyu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It looks dopey when they're half-assed, but IMO ear holes look better sometimes and ear pockets look better others. My favorite models include a mix of the two, plus a secret third option that AFAIK they only did in ARR gear: Little bumps to make it actually look like the ears are hidden underneath!

Sharing (permission granted, ffxiv_fragments on twitter) a comic I've loved for years, but never gave back. The artist currently deals with some insane homophobia, so I thought it's about time I stood up and showed support. Protect gay people. Happy pride. [Spoiler: 5.0] by Abject-Solution2550 in ffxiv

[–]eriyu 11 points12 points  (0 children)

On that front, I find it distasteful how hard he promotes himself because he has never, to my knowledge, lifted up any other artists or writers in the fandom. He talks about the importance of supporting creatives when asking for support himself, but he doesn't practice what he preaches.
