This pretty much sums up every single pull of the Abyssal Fracture EX my friend group did during our weekly mount farm this week.

I won the lynx, but At What Cost???

(Unrelated to the farm, these silly dialogue box memes are so very fun to make and I am going to collect like them like candy.)

Sabre would never have helped the Mol. She herself is a Qerel for one, and although she wound up a refugee in Eorzea (and had just. A really, really bad time there, I might add) she never let go of the heritage she'd been taught.

As far as she's concerned, she holds the same view of the Mol that many of the other more warmongering tribes do: they are weak. They participate in the Nadaam and they die, as sheep-herders with no warrior training should. That's how life goes.

For Sabre, she fights for her tribe. When she wins the Nadaam, she claims victory for the Qerel, not for the Mol. She allows Magnai and his kin to remain in the Dawn Throne purely because there's not enough Qerel that she can find to assume that throne, and in part because she has some family drama and expects it wouldn't help her tribe much. That, and because she knows - begrudgingly - that she can't stay on the Steppe herself, no matter how much she'd like to.

It's also her, not Hien, who then uses the attack on her immediately after the Naadam to justify leading the Xaela into war against the Garleans in Doma; specifically to crush the Empire's presence there as a way to safeguard and protect the Steppe. It isn't out of altruism for the people of Doma (who she cares very little about, Stormblood is a messy expansion for her filled with strife and grief thanks to Zenos that channels some of her very worst personality traits) and she certainly wasn't about to let some Doman runaway take command of a people stronger than his own for his own benefit.

Sabre really doesn't like Hien much at all, actually. She's not his friend, she doesn't consider him a strong warrior, and she certainly doesn't consider him a particularly strong leader. She leads the Xaela into Doman war out of a borderline obligation, knowing the rest of the Scions would never let her do otherwise, and even that in itself constantly makes her question whether she should even fight on their side. Nobody listens to her opinions, after all, she's just thrown at any fight they need to throw her at and expected to win for them. By the time she leaves the Steppe portion of Stormblood, Sabre's the angriest she's ever been at almost everybody in her life, especially the Scions. And even after Stormblood and she starts to sort her own head out, she never really comes around on Hien fully. She never truly trusts him given his rather imperialist idea of "force myself into Xaela culture, and use that as an excuse to lead them into war" - she can never let that go.

Good day everyone! I hope this day finds you well!

Once again, I have a WoLQotD question for you all!!

I know this may be opening a can of worms for some people, but regardless; what action in the Canon story goes directly against how you perceive your WoL's personality. A choice made in-game that you, in the mindset of your WoL, would have done drastically different?

The ending of a life or the sparing of one? Keeping your silence on something or speaking out? Choosing to go down the path you see laid out, or forging your own?

This game is beautiful in so many ways, one of the most beautiful ways is that we all have made our own unique characters. Characters that differ in more than just a few lines of dialogue here and there, so different that they really are just different people altogether despite following the same path.

I'd love to hear about what makes your WoL's different!

Would you care for a drink? Or perhaps a dance is more your thing?

Ryne: Hey, what time is it?

WoL: I don’t know, pass me the Great Serpent of Ronka.

Great Serpent of Ronka: [SCREEEEEE]

Thancred: whO THe FUCK IS MAKING THAT NOISE AT 4 AM?

WoL: It’s 4 am.

This happened to our alliance yesterday during Goliath tanks phase on the final fight and I have never felt such fury as I felt that day. Two different tanks, both of who pointed the laser at the other fucking Goliath and just cleaved people. As a fun point of fact for you in case you didn’t know, that laser murders anything that isn’t another tank.

If Square won’t give me /carry as an emote, I’ll do the goddamn thing myself, and yes if my Warrior of Light can fight and kill more gods than she has fingers on her hands she can carry her husband.

I’m not saying I called it three years ago but I’m just saying, I called it three years ago and my theory still stands strong.

THEORY: The Warrior of Light is a Primal (Part Two)

THIS WILL STILL CONTAIN SPOILERS I’M JUST SAYING. SAME WARNING AS BEFORE APPLIES: READ AT YOUR OWN RISK.

So we’ve discussed - at length and with sources - what a Primal proves to be in Eorzea. Effectively a being of aether with power beyond mortal limits, that can either be summoned directly into the world or through a mortal vessel (without that mortal losing individuality.)

How, then, does any of that apply to the player character - the “reborn” Warrior of Light? Well… quite a lot, actually. Behind a read more due to spoilers, we’re now going to ask the following question:

2. How can the player character possibly be a Primal?

If you’re LGBT and play FFXIV, I suggest you don’t join Gayorzea, the FFXIV LGBT Discord. The administration, Lethys, is the creator of a bot named Ser Aymeric, and their privacy policies are pretty vague—and he hasn’t bothered to clarify what, exactly, he does with the data, and was passive aggressive when people asked him on Reddit.

He also seems to have beef with a ton of people, and I’ve heard whispers of him using the bot to spy on people he doesn’t like. Coupled with the above, I’d say it’s in people’s best interest not to invite Ser Aymeric to their servers, because it asks for a bunch of permissions, including permission to see every server you are a part of.

This is also the server where I got a ton of grief for joking about how dating men is a ‘chore’ (I’m a lesbian) from one of their moderators. This moderator then went onto blaming me in DMs for ‘attacking’ their masculine identity. This is, of course, the server where a bunch of racist jokes were A-OK (which I pointed out, of course, but I could tell the moderator was white, so I disengaged because I don’t get paid enough to argue about racism with white people).

I was also sexually harassed in DMs by multiple users in Gayorzea, and it took the moderators days to ban these people.

TFW somebody finally calls out the Warrior of Light for being a bit of a prissy bitch too prone to responding with “/shrug” - and then tells you to go fuck off because they won’t put up with that shit.

Made funnier because it’s the man who is in lifelong debt to Rowena no matter how many kettles and relics he makes.
