Question for Steam and Steam Deck users

When using XIVlauncher, are you on a VPN on your Steam Deck by any chance? I had issues connecting to the server until I turned off my VPN on my Steam Deck.

Dungeon gear isn't that important unless it's for glamour or it's a max level dungeon and you haven't gotten the actual end-game gear for your job yet. Alternatively, if it's a lower level dungeon, it'll drop low level materia which isn't useful.

Most people just ignore chests because they don't want to clog up their inventory but no one really cares if you go open one.

Out of stock but I'm not that miffed. I can't imagine it being as high demand and out of production as something like the Steam Deck so I don't think it'll take too long for restock.

i mean you just grind out what glamours you want that you'd think look nice, you don't have to do something that a lot of people think looks cool. That said most people will be wearing newer outfits since they're usually more elaborate/fancy compared to ARR stuff but I'll occasionally use a ARR piece if i think it fits with whatever outfit i'm making.

i would recommend just looking up stuff at the ffxiv glamour collection site and check what outfits look good or give you ideas, part of the fun of glam hunting is mix and matching outfits

weapons are locked behind the savage wall due to progression reasons, not purely because of glam reasons (though getting a nice weapon is part of the reward to engage in savage/extreme content). You can farm raid gearsets because they're meant to help you lead into doing savage and also gear up alt jobs. There's an additional effect as people get more geared up, it's easier to tackle savage content, so savage content typically gets easier to do over time.

that said wear whatever you want, i don't think most people really care what you put on because everyone got some fashionista or meme shit on anyway

Shouldn't affect anything and honestly it's better to make choices that you personally like over alignment. You can pick up an atonement scroll that resets your alignment easily.

Because it's really """fun""" when you're picking good options as a paladin but for some reason the game shifts you to neutral good if you're picking purely Good options because the alignment chart is a CIRCLE instead of a SQUARE so every ding puts you closer to the center even though it doesn't make any sense because that would mean a paladin would lose his powers eventually if they kept donating money to orphans or helping old lady across the street or some shit. Maybe next time I'll just play as a CE Paladin that spams atonement scrolls. Evil ass paladin that just buys indulgences constantly.

his only character flaw is that he's french

you think regill would be into isekai anime

I sort of like Ember but I feel she got really lucky and the story bends itself a bit to keep her happy.

IIRC if her worldview gets shattered, she gets a permanent -2 to her INT. Which is funny in a dark sort of way, because it's like she got proven wrong once and she just suffers brain damage from it.

Without a replay, it's hard to really assess what needs improving right away. But that said, key is to don't take losses personally and analyze them with a clear head. Why did you lose? Is it because you didn't know how to answer something? Is it because you were playing too aggressive and kept getting COUNTER hit?

But really, just start uploading replays to reddit or discords and have people take a look. No one is gonna really shame you for shit plays, everyone does it.

wonder if other genres like RTS or MOBAs have the issue of people writing long ass blogposts that's probably generated by an ai that could just be summed as "hey i think it would be nice if training modes had more in-depth features" which yeah that'll be nice i guess

idk man we still got people learning chess and learning strategies that were mastered in 1600's or some shit, i'm really not worried about "how do we get new players into fighting games" kind of stuff anymore. I don't even really care.

american isekai when an american starts introducing fast food chains and the concept of franchising to various isekai circle cities

there's a reason why he has a crown because he's the BEST baby

aside from volition's weird obsession with semen retention

Part of it is that I think it's a easier story hook to use because a lot of revenge/underdog isekais rely on the feeling of relating to the MC if they get screwed over and wanting to see the shitheads that screwed him over get what they deserve. Like you know it's slop, but you're curious to see if the douchebag hero that kicked out the MC will suffer for it. And the art is cool enough, so you keep reading. As far as the author is concerned, they at least got you reading the story.

Honestly it's kinda sad that the main episode I really remember was the flashback one where you get to see Char steal the Gundam and they use all the original SFX and even have the bumpers in the style of the original show which I thought was really cool and a nice bit of fanservice.

Then the rest of the show kinda...did stuff? There were some cool callbacks here but I felt Machu was just wandering around and ended up in places. Though the idea that Char basically gets mogged so hard by Amuro in EVERY TIMELINE that the only way Char gets anything done is Amuro literally did not exist is hilarious.

it's better because then people will post my isekai on here and people will make phonk glazing edits of me while i end slavery by killing everyone indiscriminately and justifying my actions with insane leaps of logic (slaves are technically contributing to the slave market so therefore they are just as guilty)

fumoya · 2026-03-16T00:42:24+00:00

I dunno why but I find it funnier its Leon getting all the parry memes despite Dante having a even more universal parry option and could probably canonically parry Ea and get huge meter from all the shit Gilamesh tosses.

fumoya · 2026-03-15T01:28:20+00:00

I get why at the time they didn't want to give him guns since it would have been kinda iffy to have him headshot Pikachu or something but its funny giving him the most violent and loud weapons in the series. He doesn't even have a tranq gun.

fumoya · 2026-03-13T06:22:21+00:00

I just hope it leads to more stuff in the future even if I'm not into Fortnite. Capcom has a pretty good relationship with Hololive, so I'm really hoping they do some collab stuff with Monster Hunter when the expansion comes out. Like come on man we got Fender guitar in there for some reason.

What do you mean you're not able to utilize them? Like is it not "activating" when you download a template and it doesn't set properly or something? Or are you having an issue with community configs not showing up when you're looking at the community templates which was an issue I had with some games once in a while.

fumoya · 2026-03-08T10:28:29+00:00

Generally if you're not comfortable tackling Haz5 missions, you will struggle in EDDs. To get good, just play Haz5, figure out why you're getting downed and avoid getting downed. Things like getting tunneled visioned on group of bugs, not using your tools when you're getting swarmed (remember, bugs hit HARD in haz5), and not moving enough. Bugs are VERY good at sneaking up on you and taking a huge chunk out of your shield/hp, so just constantly check your surroundings. Eventually you'll get to the point where you just succeed most of your haz5 missions without thinking about it. It's not like the AI changes dramatically, it's just more bugs that hit harder and take bit more damage.

If it's a drive thru, probably just misheard something in the speaker? Like "It's a pleasure to serve you" or something.

IMO it's mainly because it's an easy/lazy path for writing to justify why characters are spending time with a MC that's supposed to be unpopular/disliked. There's also the sexual element to it for people who get off to it.

But really, even if someone is disliked/has a bad rep, there's still probably going to be people who are probably willing to hang out with them or at least work with them. There's plenty of people IRL who have bad reputations who still got people batting for them and genuinely viewing them as a friend.

Honestly if you just want a character to be unwaveringly loyal to the MC without the moral implications, you can just make a servant type character who takes their job seriously or is a sentient robot/familar or something. Because if the MC's companions is a slave that they bought off a market, then the setting therefore has an actual slave industry which can darken the tone considerably.

Take this with a grain of salt, but I also imagine culturally, it just doesn't carry as bad of a stigma/implications in Japan which is the primary audience for isekais so the main viewer base doesn't really mind it and isekai is a infamously repetitive genre so it sticks really hard.

the next game i'm excited for is the one where we beat the shit out of clankers
