Alternative costume for Zenos in Dissidia NT, almost certainly his new look for Shadowbringers 👀
This illustration for the Famitsu cover... *chef kiss*
im leveling summoner on an alt and i just got whiplash remembering this old ffxiv thing
Yoooo and remember when Chimera and Hydra were a necessary part of relic weapon completion and they weren’t even duties yet
Or when Bard had a healer LB
*record screech* Bard had a healer LB? I’ve been playing since 2014 and I’ve never seen that, crazy
It was a thing and it was awful!
Remember when the game would randomly eat anything you wrote and not tell you about it, causing a deep rooted sense of paranoia to take hold when someone hadn’t responded to you for 5 minutes?
^^^ GOD. Thank fuck they fixed that issue.
I remeber having surplus in pretty much every class.
Man, I feel ancient.
The final raid boss of the previous Final Fantasy XIV expansion (Heavensward) was the angelic soul of a giant robot with time manipulation powers, that you fought in the core of the robot itself and also had the power to summon itself inside of itself. One of the mechanics consisted of being teleported to the past to stop yourself from being killed in a cutscene and if you fail the mechanic you die due to time paradox. One of its attacks is named Inception.
You’d expect a boss themed after holiness and time travel to have epic orchestral bombing music but it actually plays fast goblin rap rock that gets replaced by elevator music anytime the boss stops time.
And it’s specialy awesome because you actually saw that cutscene waaaaay earlier than this fight and it made no sense back then, because wtf just happened, why are we alive? And then later you’re fighting the boss and it does its thing and while you’re still wondering what just did you see yourself in the distance and recognize the scene and oh shit, everything makes sense, but move you idiot, we’re going to die.

... to be fair, there is a big cock.
So I didn’t find this out until I was running around like a potato. But for those that didn’t know where the Rising tokens come from, they are pretty much from an instance that makes you go through 1.0 days in Uldah and get beaten by a bunch of mobs. It’s chaotic as hell, but also pretty entertaining (at least to me) since it’s a war zone like the one shown in the end of the calamity.
Bonus:

This is what PTSD looks like for survivors of the Calamity.
I was disappointed praying didn’t do anything.
Wait, bear with me, I’m not crazy. It’s story time! More like, “war stories time”, I guess?
Back in the 1.0 days, when all this “monsters attacking Uldah” was happening, none of these things were acknowledged by SE, not in the patch notes, nor in the forums. Not only the monster attacks, but nothing at all related to “the end of days” was mentioned in official channels, it was just the people still playing posting about it when we discovered things (not everything was as blatant as monsters in the cities or a huge red moon in the sky :P)
So, one day Uldah was full of monsters. Cool. Well, not really, it was death everywhere, but you know what I mean. But we didn’t even know if that was like, a battle we could win and repel them, or if they would disappear after certain time, or it fighting them was useless because there would be no end to them. I really can’t stress enough how much in the dark we were every time something happened, it was part of the whole “calamity experience”.
We fought them, of course, but if you think that you die a lot in the current event, know that this is nowhere close to the non-stop massacre that was back then (the terrible state of the servers helped. Helped the mobs, that is).
People soon started running away, hidding, praying for the dead or to be able to get away... there was a lot of pray emote spam. Some people started saying that praying actually did something, that it made some monster die or things like that. Good luck knowing why a monster died in that mess when the server didn’t even load half the players, so that helped too.
Now, this “doing the pray emote make monsters die” thing wasn’t THAT crazy of a theory. Previously in the whole “calamity saga” there were some rocks that spawned with the symbols of eorzean gods engrabed on them (Halone and all that, you know) and praying in front of them DID make things happen, be it cutscenes, npcs pop up and things like that. I feel the need to mention that so you don’t think we were that crazy, I know we were playing 1.0, but still, not THAT crazy!
So to the forums people go, to discuss if praying did anything. That was an incredible debate that soon devolved to something like “this is starting to sound way to much like real life praying: we’re not sure it does anything, but we really want it to, and if it doesn’t what’s the harm, so let’s all pray anyway!”
The mods were so amussed by the dozens and dozens of pages discussing praying in the forums that, for the first AND ONLY time, they addressed us on something Calamity related: they told us that no, spaming /pray didn’t do anything, lol, stop arguing about it. But that they liked the idea of us organically coming with praying while fighting monsters like that so much that, as of next patch, it would (at this time, there were hotfix-like patches basically everyday).
So it did. Next day, doing /pray to a dead person acted like a raise, and for someone alive it gave them a buff (something like protect and regen, nothing crazy). If you prayed to a mob you got a debuff though, that was fun to find out :D
And this is the story of a silly internet rumor that became a feature because everyone were so into it, and I think that’s awesome.
Every time people talk about the final days of 1.0 it’s always the “there were monsters in the city/big red moon in the sky” what is mentioned, when there were SO MANY little things like this one or other little happenings far more interesting. People telling 1.0 war stories would make terrible bards, I tell you.
Sorry for piggybacking in this with my own long ass war story and my terrible english, just remebered the praying thing with this event and thought it was a pitty it wasn’t more widely known.
This could be my favorite thing.
and if you follow the boar piglet back to his monkey friend:
Personally, I’m a big fan of the sparrow who isn’t that fond of us, and gets progressively more annoyed if we keep following him.
... Japan has an incredible way of selling music.
I like how over the course of the story the noble and kind Warrior of Light slowly turns into a snarky little shite lol
I mean...

New mounts, minions, hairstyles, emotes… you know, the truly important parts of patches! :P
That first mount might be enough to get me off my tiger for a while. :D
Wait, hold on…..wait, hold on……is that the general chatter emote them npcs are always doing??
HELL YES!!
I want to know the lore behind the flying couch. Cause if we can enchant household items to fly… I can find uses for this.
Well, the lore for the flying chair we already have says more or less that is just a regular chair enchanted by a mage tired of not being able to reach the high shelves. So sure, if you are lazy and have the skill...
New mounts, minions, hairstyles, emotes... you know, the truly important parts of patches! :P
