I wanted the setting that changes the player's name color in chat, according to their role. For example, if they are tank, their name would be blue, if they are healer, their name would be green, and if they are DPS, their name would be red.

At first I thought it was this ⤵️

The "Apply colors according to role." check mark option. But what that does, is this;

It may be a bit difficult to tell here because I tried to edit names in the screenshot (attempting to be considerate of people). It's really hard to see the ONE tank in my Alliance (B). But that option color codes the names of players above their head, in your party. And It doesn't effect other players in your alliance. (I have my alliance name plates set to a color very similar to that green apparently... I might change it.)

After learning this (literally today), I went searching again and found the real thing. It's this ⤵️

Found in Character Configuration > Log Window Settings > Button at the top right that says "Name Display Settings"

It'll open a new window called "Chat Log Name Display Settings".

I feel like this is rather hidden tbh 😅. But I was going over this topic with a couple friends in Discord and honestly this find is nice. We're all going to be using it 👌🏻

You can mess with the settings and apply them, and view how they'll look real time at the bottom with the small chat 'example' they provide.

Me, massive Emet fan, never heard of this. Where the heck have I been? Under a rock? (don't answer that- it's rhetorical Lol 🙃)

So what do I do? Look it up ofc, learn how to obtain it, and get on top of that asap. I'm gonna work my tail off in any way possible to get this!

It wasn't hard, just a wee bit grindy. In the process of- I got my PCT from 81 to 85! Not bad! 😄 (I don't typically FATE grind for the record.)

I'm posting this cause if you want the awesome Emet portrait like I did (and didn't know of it, like I didn't) and are looking to level PCT or VPR in that level range, Garlemald FATEs are a nice change of pace from dungeon grinding or whatever else.

Just for the love of God be weary of some FATEs or have your Chocobo (preferably as healer) cause there is a nasty one that hits like a freight train and I saw my fair share of VPRs get wrecked by it 💀

THIS is the evil FATE:

Settings can be found in System > Character Configuration > Display Name Settings > Others > Title Display Settings (there's like 4 of them, set them all to hide)

There's also some complaints on various social media platforms that BLUs are roflstomping (for lack of a better term 😋) all of the FATEs with their 2-skills and to let them do their thing for a period of time until things return to "normal". (I don't play BLU so... 🤷🏻‍♀️)

I just wanted to throw this out there (Kaiyoko's Guide from Twitter):

A friend of mine and I were trying to recall all the details of this event from when it was last ingame. There was some confusion around a specific detail and it's happening again now. It was all across Reddit last time, but this time I'm seeing it across Twitter, lol.

When you FATE grind in each respective zone/map, you need to have that Minion summoned/out in order to receive medals.

It's hard for me to remember because it was so long ago, but I believe what I did was- I just bought all of the minions in one go. Like, a wee bit of extra FATE grinding really wasn't going to kill me 🙃. (That's 49 medals, because the first minion is 1, and after that they cost 3. Unless they added more minions?)

The alternative is, you can get the first minion and then continuously return to the gold saucer and buy the necessary minion before you go to each zone. Just don't forget, lol 😅

For most zones, you can plan ahead. Like... Outer La Noscea: Blizzaria, USApyon, Noko (can all get Tokens from that map). That's 3 minions you can do on 1 map. So if you bought all 3, you wouldn't have to change maps, you can just FATE grind there and swap out your minions when you get the amount of medals you need. If that make sense? (I know my phrasing is awful sometimes)

(10 Tokens per weapon, except for the first weapon which is 5)

Another example would be, Central Thanalan: Komajiro, Shogunyan, and Jibanyan.

(These are all taken in Ktisis Hyperboreia because I don't have fancy doo-dads. iykyk.)

He is so tall... (for the record, I made my WoL my irl height 😅🫠)

I took this screenie yesterday while FATE grinding for the Yokai event. No gpose or anything- simply removed the HUD.

With that being said, today I found these on one of the PvP vendors (the Mark Quartermaster - on the Far Right).

It's easier to find things when you check the box that says "Show only recently added items."

They added GC Trophies for housing 😮

Once upon a time, picking your GC and repping it used to be a thing... kinda. Okay, maybe even then it wasn't all that much of a big deal. But when you picked a GC and ran Frontlines, you were on that team.

At some point they added 'a fix' or 'a change' (whatever you want to call it) and there were games where you'd get thrown into random teams when players couldn't fill, or the queue times were long. But for the most part, you were on the team of your GC. Now days you pick your GC entirely on aesthetics or backstory of your OC, unless for something else. That's entirely on you. Now that change is permanent and every time you run a Frontline, you join as a Freelancer.

I'm one of those lazy -loyal 🤫 people where I pick a GC at the beginning of MSQ and I refuse to swap to another one even though I know I should. Swapping would benefit me, I'd get new achievements and GC exclusive items and I could always return to my first GC... it just seems messy as some things won't migrate with me 🙃

But that's not what I wanna talk about~. I really like these new housing items. We can buy them separately or as a set.

I'm going to post a bunch of screenies below of how these look spaced apart, and how I believe they were meant to be placed close together as a set.

Twin Adders, a.k.a. 'Serpent'. ⬆️

Immortal Flames, a.k.a. 'Flames'. ⬆️

Maelstrom, a.k.a. 'Storm'. ⬆️

I finally got around to doing Kei's screenie-shoot for my "to look back upon" pre-7.0 graphic updates- nostalgia memory collection. Here we go~
