#roebro

I was talking with @eldrxtch about how it can be hard to draw a character from FFXIV when you're not used to drawing the race they're actually from (e.g. drawing a Lalafell but defaulting to more natural head proportions)

I know I post fuck-all on here but I got to see my Roebro get a glow-up today and you are going to Look At Him. Right now, the whole graphics update seems to be a bit controversial (MoonKeepers losing their fangs, Veena losing their big pupils, lips/teeth looking odd on some races, etc) but beyond a bit of over-smoothing, I think they did awesome on the Roebros! I can't speak for everyone else, I just think Bori looks really good. They even reduced the gap between the jaw and the beard! I hated whenever the camera was put at an angle that made it sound out- which is unfortunately often.

Misaki found a wild Exiled Wolf in Ul’dah today. At least it wasn’t the Garlean.

My boy Bori as an Arcadion fighter: The Paillot, a Paissa infusion done as the result of a lost bet that -much to Bori's chagrin- took off in popularity immediately, due to his clever implementation of old school air force themes and leaning VERY hard into being a noble hero who's off fighting ne'er-do-wells so that he doesn't have to shift any more than he absolutely has to.

This is, of course, not canon, but the idea of him being an unwilling star in another sense was too funny not to play with.
