#FFXIV #WOLpromptAday

April 11, 2025

Your WOL has the chance to time travel again and this time they could change ONE major event that has led them to where they currently are.

HOWEVER, they are forbidden from changing anything having to do with Haurchefant Greystone. In fact, doing so would tip the balance so much that anything else they have done would be nullified and the world would end instantly. Every world tied to the Source would cease to be in an instant.

What other event do they change or stop from happening?

Help I'm thinking about subbing for WoW Again

So there were a lot of things that lead to me more or less giving up Warcraft for life, including the horrors of blizzard that were revealed that made me seriously question why I was in the industry any more (warcraft 3 and world of warcraft are -why- I became a game developer).

But battle for azeroth was where it started and how... empty, and schizophrenic, and the way the world just NEVER capitalized on the story they were laying down, and then a little while later 2 things happened that, combined with the sexual abuse scandals (which came a little later iirc and would have been enough on their own), lead to me going 'yeah I'm gone, forever' (and also lead to me picking up FFXIV).

The first was that blizzard announced that they never planned the story of their games further than 1 patch cycle out.

The second was a clip of blizzard devs being asked when they were going to stop nerfing demonology warlock and responding "when are you going to stop playing it" (I cannot put into words how insulting that was, I main that spec, but if you don't want to make something work in the game then fucking remove it and have done with it, mad respect to the FFXIV team for having the balls to do that to summoner effectively, even if I disagree with it).

Shadowlands seemed to have vindicated that choice to an insane degree, especially with the level of FOMO they were willing to engage in with main storyline quests.

Now Dragonlands seems to have reversed that, the story is done and complete and it looks like they actually went into it with a plan, I've not heard of any major quest deletions of the main story, and the new expansion feels like it's coming along nicely, and frankly... I miss playing my first roleplaying character.

Counter balance that with the fact all my old friends are gone, they're probably not coming back... and... I dunno.

It's a weird feeling to have.

Humble Barbarian.

Humble's glam for the D&D Themed Party at the Cozy Carbie. Not exactly playing against type I admit, but I was in a hurry. Next time maybe I'll go as a Bard or a Wizard...

help an artist pal out !!!

a friend of mine, @painthorseblues currently has emergency commissions open, starting out at just 25$ USD. For the past 3 days he has had minimal access to safe drinking water and won’t for the next 5 days.

his art is absolutely gorgeous and worth a peek at, with talents ranging from full-blown character design to rendered scenes. you can contact him over on VGEN, tumblr, @/painthorseblues on discord, or at painthorseblues@gmail.com

Ignore the shit quality, I did this at 4 am. I just need you to feel my embarrassment and frustration as a person who has a bad sense of direction.

I can’t believe this is how I start my art blog, a comedic vent art about my time in FFXIV.

I’ve been playing this game for a while (on and off), I’m actually nearly past stormblood. But I can’t help but feel exasperation for the dlcs forcing to find something/one in a specific amount of time (with a countdown no less)

In heavensward it’s “find the heretics in this snowy tundra!” And in Stormblood it’s “find the salt Monastary in this desert biome!” Etc etc

G'raha Tia was never sent to Sharlayan by his family. Never had the chance to become an Archon. Never volunteered for the expedition to explore the Crystal Tower.

In effect the Crystal Exarch never exists, neither does the Crystarium. The First and all the people of Norvrandt die to the light and become Sin Eaters. They’re now a threat to other worlds much like Void Sent.

G’raha is never there to assist Alisaie in finding her cure. The people in Radz-at-Hand subsequently die from darkest despair. He’s also never in Ultima Thule.

Without him there’s only one member of the Students of Baldessian left, the order is not free to pursue petitions and they never accept the request to assist in Tuliyollal. Thus Kryle never follows through with her quest there either.


What if the adventurous bard was instead found by House Van Darnus and his heirloom exploited?

I know this will piss off some people but I want to say it anyway: Yes. Dawntail sucked complete and utter ass. But I will appreciate it for one thing and that's collectively taking the communities causticly toxic positivity about the game and breaking it in half like a damn KitKat.

Seeing people talk about issues that have been in the game since Stormblood and have only gotten worse overtime was so refreshing.

We can winge and bitch about how "X would have done the story better" but here's the thing and this is going to piss off even more people: The entire fucking reason the game has not innovated at all since Heavensward is because of Yoshi-p.

Yoshi-p is a Project manager. For those who don't know what that means it means he is there to make sure the pipeline of "Concept->profit" IS MAINTAINED. Someone even asked him in a dev/CC interview during a fanfest if they would ever consider doing stuff beyond what they would normally do for an expansion and was told, point fucking blank, that that would never happen. (For context the specific question was about adding something into the game similar to Mythic+ from WoW or a similar feature.)

The guy isn't a game designer and he never WAS. His entire job is to keep the hamster wheel spinning, adding some new bells every so often that are just out of reach that the hamsters keep paying to run on the wheel.

This is also why the story hasn't truly evolved since Shadowbringers either. Think about how the dungeons are laid out, about how the final X.0 dungeon FOR THREE EXPANSIONS IN A DAMN ROW NOW have been some dungeon made from that expansions big bads memories. This is a prime example of Yoshi-p and the creative team taking the wrong lesson from how the players engage with the game. They saw all of us collectively screaming about Amaurot and took the wrong lesson by thinking "Thats what we need to do to make money. Look at the public reception, the player counts, the fact that the community is doing our marketing for us."

Yoshi-p literally saved FFXIV. 1.0. It was a disaster and he has made it so that FFXIV is now Squares fucking only lifeline. Without FFXIV Sqaure Enix would be not be making money. He was brought in to take the entire team behind 1.0 and wring their fucking necks to make the game even functional. It was a hail mary that actually worked out.

Dawntrail fucking sucks muleass bro.
