women want me, leviathan fears me

favorite part about this post is the mountains of people in the notes tagging their ocs and expressing gratitude but like i just set this lamp outside for a few minutes and i came back to my entire driveway full of wol lizards. zenos ffxiv wishes he had what i have

I knew this would happen right off the bat when her master started talking about “ascension”. I would have grabbed her and ran… If only the game allowed me to T_T

Wait wasnt that sin eat already sitting next to Valthery when petting the lion sin eater though?

Yea, she was already there while the Au Ra was still alive. Poor person who became that tho. Poor girl who died, along with countless others. :(

We don’t meet Vauthery until after this quest and in fact, its a necessary quest to progress in MSQ come to think of it. And the girl was let into Eulmore so she could sing and perform for her patron. All of Forgiven Obscenity’s moves in the boss battle are named after types of performances or the raising or lowering of sound, like one does when singing. And when we saw Tesleen, the transformation into sineater is a rather quick, if forced by a greater sineater or a lightwarden. So time between her turning and them bringing in the guy who we hear screaming, can be considered.

Not to doomsay, but just putting it out there now: Please be respectful and understanding of the devs and Squeenix team during Endwalker launch. Right now we are in a "perfect storm" situation and I'm sure they're already expecting a lot of stress during launch week. Shadowbringers was regarded as one of the best FF titles in many ways, and its success combined with Covid lockdown meant a major uptick in active playerbase. The free trial meme, WoW Shadowlands' flopping, general distaste towards Actiblizz due to recent events, and one of the biggest WoW streamers switching to FFxiv has meant that within the short span of time since the last major patch, the playerbase has grown even more. The entire Aether datacenter is now "congested". This is the first time a whole datacenter has been given this tag. Previously, this happened with Balmung due to it being the primary RP hub, and overflow went to Mateus before the Crystal DC split and cross-world travel. All crystal worlds are currently "Preferred". Most importantly: The semiconductor shortage due to Covid-borne factory and harbor shut-downs on top of poor decisions from the auto industry, on top of Japanese factory fires and the Texas storm means its incredibly difficult for Squeenix to get a hold of the hardware they need to expand servers. Taiwan is where chips for most of our gaming tech comes from (like Ps5's and GPU's) and severe drought conditions have impacted production. Squeenix has a little less than 3 months to get a hold of what they need in order to expand servers in the US. This means that even though they have the money and experience to combat something like this, and were likely monitoring their playerbase before the sudden unexpected "WoW refugee" uptick, they aren't easily able to get the resources to prepare for it, and this player surge happened so close to expansion release. When Endwalker drops, you're going to see another surge as players currently unsubscribed return as they usually do for new content. Should Endwalker release be rough: Please, PLEASE do not put any long queue times, disconnects, "Raubahn (Ultimate)" or any other issues purely related to server strain on Yoshi-P and the dev team. They are doing and will do all that they can, but the surge in players and semiconductor issues are things they can't control. I would also advise being cautious of any social media you interact with during release. This includes Facebook groups, comment sections on official FFxiv social media posts, r/ffxiv, and larger non-insular Discords. There's bound to be uproar from people who need someone to blame and get angry at: save your emotional energy.
