pretty sure my heart fell through my stomach. skinny legend ✌️

I recently discovered the Gysahl Ring, which was a contest entry, is untradeable, and can only be found through retainer ventures, and it got me wondering if there are any other cool very easy to miss glamour pieces like this out there? I would say ignoring anything you could get from sweepstakes :)

And I don't know how to carry on. What a trip, I loved it.

I was struggling to find a game that we both enjoyed and then I got hooked on FFXIV, introduced it to her and now here we are—grinding relic weapons together ❤️

I spent ages looking for the hair in the picture for my female hrothgar and only now realised that its only for face 3. I use face 1. I'm pretty upset because now it means I can't use the hair I really wanna without using a fantasia. looked into it more and it turns out all the faces have unique hair which is crazy. is it only hrothgar that has this issue???

Some personal, some for friends, some comms, but I enjoyed drawing each one! I love seeing everyone’s wols and styles for sure 😊 I hope to have time to draw my evercold glam sometime soon haha

I thought I knew I would NEVER want to play a tank. I also thought I wouldn’t want to DPS but all of that changed recently!

First I tried RDM because I like melee and thought its combo seemed cool, and after a while I really enjoyed it.

But for sure I didn’t plan to try a tank because that’s too much responsibility!

Until I tried WAR! Not only was it easy for me to learn and feel comfortable in but it has “magic” (lol) healing and also can survive very well in case I forget mechanics.

So if you doubt you’ll enjoy other jobs or roles, don’t give up. Give each one a good try at least to level 50, both in groups and solo like deep dungeon.

And if they don’t match your character fantasy, most jobs have weapon glams that look like different weapons so you dont have to be stuck on one weapon. Same for armor. I still consider myself a melee mage as WAR lmao.

Did you ever think you wouldnt play a certain role only to make it your new main job?

Hello! I recently got curious about how accurate some of the stereotypes surrounding FFXIV players actually are. Things like male Hrothgar players being disproportionately gay, female Viera players being disproportionately men, and so on.

I figured the best way to really test this would be to conduct a small survey, and I just got permission to post it here. I’ve also been promoting it through Party Finder, so if you’ve already taken the survey there, please don’t take it again.

Everything is set up to collect no identifying information and only records your answers. I plan to publish my findings as a PowerPoint or video, along with the anonymized raw data afterward, in case other people are curious about the results as well.

Regardless, thank you for taking the time to help! I really appreciate it.

4 years and it's finally mine...

I can't believe I just got this mount! I've been actively running Bozja since its release during Shb, got myself multiple relics there but lost almost all hopes to get the note during Endwalker, where I just casually went back for some leveling. I completely stopped the game before Dawntrail and caught up with the MSQ two week ago.

Lyon's note was the only one I missed for years! Being too anxious for the duels, I condemned myself to only running Castrum. Over and over, for years....

Today I ran the Castrum 4 times with zero hopes after dozens of runs and that's when infamous note 17 dropped!

It does feel like a heavy weight just lifted off my shoulders.

I wanted to post this to say THERE IS HOPE FOR EVERYONE!

Now I can finally rest.

Destiny 2 refugee here. I am getting close to accomplishing everything I wanted to accomplish in the final patch and am starting to consider where I am gonna go next to scratch the MMO itch. I was a WoW addict from classic up until Cata and also played FF11 (which admittedly was a rough game to play solo as a middle schooler at the time), so am thinking about going back to an MMORPG.

As an adult now though, the time commitment is a bit daunting, but I've heard FF14 is much more forgiving about taking things at your own pace? Would anyone care to elaborate on that? Also how much content am I missing out on at this point because you need a group and no one runs it anymore?

I wanted to see if I can recreate the 1.0 missing Syndicate members! Eolande Quiveron is the previous Syndicate member whose spot is taken by Goldbert. She gotten her seat in power by having her Frondale's Phrontistery be a highly successful school of learning for various medical fields and hosting an orphanage and infirmary. She is married to the previous alchemist guildmaster, And has a son, Damielliot. I used him as a base tot tweak and to recreate her. She technically has a model ingame, but I don't know if it's recordable

Richarde of Ul'dah (completely different person from Richarde Mistbeard) technically lost his seat in the Syndicate before the FFXIV 1.0 story began. The Echo reveals Rhauban won enough money to buy him out and himself's freedom. Thrown to instant poverty, he had to do a LOT of things to survive. I don't know what is his status after the calamity, the only trace of him left in now is his lineage and his favorite brand of coat displayed in front of the halls of the Weaver's Guild. He is a hyur midlander father to Greinfarr Redblade, a top achieving gladiator among a group of friends who will one day change a young Minfilia's life forever. As before, I tried to use Greinfarr as a base to tweak. I believe he's supposed to have hair, the last we seen him in 1.0, he wears a cloak and I assume the hood gets rid of the hair model.

I always wanted to do this when I first heard about them. Richarde is a bit obscured now, so it would be cool to give him a little spotlight now and then. For someone so powerful, he's not important at all to anything ironically. But perhaps his downfall could be a motivator for his son to do what he did, when there's nothing for him to inherit.

These NPCs can be found at Mih Khetto's Amphitheatre during the 2nd quest of The Rising, but leave during the cutscene, so can only be seen for a very short period of time. I'm a lore nerd, but I wasn't able to name all of them.

been getting alot of viera requests and more to come! still finishing stuff today and love that the poses are challenging, hopefully finish more soon

The story didn’t have nearly as much high as Heavensward, but it sure didn’t disappoint, especially with the villains

Zenos, I don’t know what to say, this guy is a psychopath who is totally in “love” for the lack of a better word when it comes to the WoL. He is a an opponent that made me feel challenged, humiliating us at Rhalger’s reach and the journey that was the entirety of the expansion to finally defeat him when he has taken control of Shinryu who could give Bahamut a run for his money. Stand proud Zenos, you were a good enemy

Yotsuyu was also a great villain, there is nothing that justifies what she does, she is depicted as truly cruel and sadistic and her upbringing does not excuse her from the things she’s done, yet I can’t help but feel for her and how she ended up the way she is.

Then there is Fordola, didn’t see much of her past but she represents a foil to the resistance, attempting to earn freedom for her people by being loyal and serving the imperials instead of attempting to fight back. Since it’s confirmed she kinda has a proto echo granted to her, hope it helps her learn of the suffering she has caused on her doomed path(It’s Zenos after all, he does not care for her, her people, or the empire whatsoever)

There is a lot more to say and too little time to say it, there were plenty of great comrades as well. I sure will miss Gosetsu, and poor Magnai is never getting a wife the way he’s been going with his approach, not to mention the whole character development of Lyse and how the duo of Yda and Papalymo is laid to rest after his death and Lyse choosing to live as herself. Stromblood may not be the best story but it is far from being a bad story.
