I'm getting images, but videos aren't working at all for me all of a sudden

Even if we don't actually *accomplish* the things we want to do, we're still actively engaging with the ideas, goals, and interests. What matters is that you aren't giving up or abandoning it altogether.

What's even the point of having a glam that doesn't also look good vanilla?

...I am so mad they locked F'lhaminn's story post-Heavensward behind the Alchemist's guild.

Help him out, yeah... gladly...

#1 hope for 7.5 or onward:

We get to learn what Halmarut (And any other potential still-alive Ascians may be involved) think about Gaia. What do they think about Loghrif still (technically) running around?

Also, having the different faeries have different functions would be a really cool way to add actual like. Complexity and diversity to the class. I know that *was* a thing and they removed it, but it's a cool concept that *can* work.
Also please give these bitches actual lore. Justice for Nym

Meaningless complaint: Scholar's faeries are named after Eos and Selene, the Greek goddesses of the Moon and Dawn, respectively; however, there is *no Helios* and that is fucking stupid. You cannot have a Moon and a Dawn with no Sun. Include their fucking brother.
Homophobic.

Just had the misfortune of doing Howling Blade for the first time since my first ever run.
Yeah, I was right the first time. That fight sucks shit! I miss when this game's mechanics were actually visible.
If I take a ton of vuln stacks, it should be from actual poor performance. Not "I can't SEE"

I think Ninja's inoffensive; maintaining Doton makes up for the boring filler combo.
Dragoon is also fine... once you actually get the full combo. At... 72. Or 82 if we're including Draconian Fury. Why the fuck is it like that...

Am I going to get excommunicated by the Ninja playerbase if I say I kind of miss the Huton gauge...
It was like Blood of the Dragon but not terrible. Especially once you had Armor Crush and Hurajin. I'd take that over the fuckass "Kazematoi" monk knock-off any day

Meaningless gripe that I have: Physical Ranged DPS need more reason to use their Role actions. Especially in dungeons/casual content. Why do I even have a slow and a bind if they're never used?

I'd also love to see some NPCs just casually be left-handed. Like, imagine if Alisaie and Alphinaud had opposite dominant hands! That'd be SO funny, they'd HATE it.

DIABOLICAL way to open a post on an NSFW account

I've been playing extremely consistently since mid-Shadowbringers and my playtime is 3,500 hours. You lose Sprout status after pre-Dawntrail MSQ and 300 hours- and 300 is *slow.*
1000 hours is NOT a "casual player."

Usually, yeah; but hopefully they stop making that mistake and finally start to actually fucking care about the limited jobs, now that there's not just one of them.

AND WHY THE FUCK DO WE ONLY HAVE TITAN, GARUDA, AND IFRIT. WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER THREE ARR PRIMALS? WHAT ABOUT SHIVA? What about other Primals, even just as cosmetic options?
Why the FUCK is Summoner so limited? It barely even fits its own thematic!

Honestly, I don't think *any* job makes me as mad as Summoner.
Why does Egi Glamour exist if it doesn't even effect our summons anymore past level 90?
What the FUCK is Solar Bahamut?
Why do we only have four colors of Carbuncle, and why is "Emerald" not even green?

Every time I use a Ranged LB1 it takes every fiber of my being not to let the brainworms win and start doing Spamton voice

Did we get confirmation of what type of gear Beastmaster uses? Maiming, Striking, Scouting? It'd be really nice to be able to get Tomestone gear for it in advance...

Genuinely, I would have been using the Aiming pants from O11 exclusively for my Bard glamour for *years* had they actually been dyeable by default.
I don't even *own* the dyeable version because it's gated behind Savage.
Don't even get me STARTED on the Eden gear...

I mean, they HAVE already played a *ton* with the connections Ice, Winter, and the like have with Death. I mean, just look at Shiva's boss themes- Oblivion and Return to Oblivion. Heavensward Bard, the "Ballad of Oblivion." Meteion's "Song of Oblivion."
THERE'S SOMETHING HERE
TELL ME I'M NOT CRAZY

That's over THREE TIMES the number of hours necessary to lose your sprout status. That's about as much time as *I've* put into Xenoblade Chronicles, and I've LONG since memorized the ENTIRE game- I can literally 100% it from memory alone.
Ironmouse knows the damn game. Be normal, for ONCE.

People are being SO weird about Ironmouse at Fanfest; all I'll say about that whole... situation, is this:
If Ironmouse shows 1,000 hours played on Steam, she knows the fucking game extremely goddamn well. That's NOT "casual hours" in the slightest. For context:

How many times has Tumblr almost died? I think we'll be fine

Jay- Cinnamon and woodsmoke. (Also just. What he smells like naturally)
Liala- The first flowers that break through the winter snow.
Xander- A fresh summer breeze through old archives.

Some characters also just... don't really fit the role of "Warrior of Light". And, to be clear, the WoL is NOT unequivocally good- anyone who says that needs to (re)play the 30-50 Dark Knight quests- but they ARE a hero, and THAT is a role that doesn't fit everyone.

Structurally, that lends itself very well to effectively divorcing your character from the "Main character" or "Warrior of Light" role, and at times, your character having that role can even feel like a disservice to the story being told.

Even for side stories like the raids, this holds true- Binding Coils is about Louisoix and the twins, Crystal Tower is about Cid and G'raha, Alexander is about Mide and Roundrox, Omega is about Cid, Nero, and... Omega, Eden is about Ryne and Gaia, Arcadion is about Yaana and her sisters.

Endwalker is about Venat/Hydaelyn, the Scions, and especially the twins; the Void storyline is about Zero and Vrtra, deuteragonist Y'shtola; and Dawntrail is about Wuk Lamat and Sphene, with Krile and Erenville unfortunately being relegated to deuteragonist roles.
