Ai's FFXIV Fun!

Loloki Loki || It is a fine day/night in the Goblet, and the sounds of the city could be heard off in the distance. The door opens, with a ring or whatever Chach has installed. What passes through first is… a frog on two legs - it holds the door open and bows dramatically. A Dunesfolk woman walks through - her face half-covered by a turban popularized by a certain Monetarist with goggles of Sharlayan make attached. She stops to look around the shop. The walking frog closes the door behind her.

Chachanji Gegenji || The smithy itself is rather… well, perhaps even a bit stiflingly… hot. A bit less so given the colder months giving a bit of a chill to the air, but that also just makes the buffeting of the hot forge air that rushes out with the door opening all the more noticeable.  The windchime by the door seems to have been set up for this exact thing, and its ringing causes the wiggling of Chachan’s ears as he pauses in his inventory. Hopping from step to chest, he peers over the counter with a- Chachanji Gegenji | - cheerful smile. “Hallo! Welcome ta th’ Usagenji Ironworks!”

So, I was chatting it up in Discord and the topic of magic came up.

Naturally, Chachan’s pretty bad at it normally. He basically just has his healing spell, which isn’t very good normally. It’s usually just for tending to bumps and scrapes, given his limited aetheric well. I say normally and usually because - in sort of a fun twist on Clemency - the spell actually gets more potent when he Gojirafell’s out. More aether to put into more healing, and it helps spend that extra aether.

I’ve always mused on giving him an alternative technique at some point - a more offensive ability to use up that selfsame aether. The general joking idea is that it’d basically be like an Ultraman “Ultra Beam.” Fitting for being a kyodai hero.

(Image taken from the Ultraman Wiki, for the curious)

But tonight’s conversation resulted in a fun sort of addition to this fledgling headcanon: what would this technique be like when he’s… well, normal? His heal is more powerful in Gojirafell form, but rather weak normally. So you’d think the same would be for this move.

It’d be like, well… the old Flash ability Paladins used to have for AoE threat, actually.

Or, to think about it in more fun terms given his motifs:

Normal Chachan’s attack spell would basically be the Eorzean version of the Solar Flare.

And that’s kind of fun to imagine. And kind of fitting considering the aforementioned motifs… and his pacifistic nature. Of course his “attack spell” would be something to disorient and detain rather than actually cause harm!

If you do not care what gender your roleplay partner identify themselves as.

Be they male, female, trans, or whatever else is out there.

If you are a friend, you are a friend. If we ship our muses together, we ship the heck out of our muses. I don’t care if you are a female playing male, a male playing female or whatever is inbetween.

I’ve made a passing comment about this, but realized that it needed its own write-up because it’s so good. Here are my thoughts about the genius of Amaurot’s design and how it strengthens the final act of Shadowbringers!

Living in the modern day, one thing we in the present have access to is the image of our world, our planet, our star from orbit. A pale blue dot it is said. 

It’s not quite something that our characters, living in a fantasy world that’s just starting an Industrial Revolution could have seen, if not imagine. That the world is a round sphere is still considered an astonishing fact on Hydaelyn, and most smallfolk live and die ignorant of the larger world.

All the WoLs I believe.

“Take me home today Crystal Daddy”

“Yes.”

“I need them.”

“Come and get them. ♥ ”

While they are aware of the Resonance project, it doesn’t seem that they expected it to succeed as well as it did, judging by Elidibus’s surprise.
