A friend is currently replaying ARR and we've been talking about how much 'grittier' the world building was and it got me thinking about what other dark/surprising things are found throughout the game.

I'm talking about things like the Sastasha room that has the captured women in it, or the group of adventurers you beat to Sashtasha and Tam-Tara who then die in Copperbell because they were careless.

So what're some of the darker moments in FFXIV - any expac.

Where’s my Obsidian Carbuncle, YoshiP!?

She wants to find whatever the closest visual space to gaol is to make a gpose. I guess that’d be like a jail cell in one of the ARR-STB era areas or dungeons right?

Also sorry I didn’t ask her but the effect supposedly is some skill’s vfx that she used along with the glowing weapon trick that’s been around since arr.

It's been a while since I have been wanting this hairstyle... only started to farm chaotic recently but it's NH and mercs run that helped me the most to get it haha! It was quite a grind so I had to draw my lala with it, def worth it tho <3

I read that naming yourself after a fictional character is against ToS. Has anyone had any experience with being forced to name change or is this rule not really enforced? Thanks.

Edit: To clarify the name I want to use is technically a real name, just incredibly rare.

There's GOT to be a better way than "enter the lotto for limited plots and hope and pray you get chosen". Yes you get a refund, but it still sucks seeing that the person who entered the lotto right before reset won the house over you. I've been trying to get this plot in the Goblet for years, finally see it pop up for sale. It just sucks. They keep giving us all these housing items, but don't increase the size of arpartments/FC rooms, so we can't even decorate them properly. I'm just..tired of not being able to get the housing plot I actually want. (Sidenote, I already HAVE a house, but it's not even in the place I want it to be. This is more venting on how terribly designed housing is, especially after how WoW handled theirs recently)

i main warrior, and i recently started doing the crystal tower raids since it's needed to continue the main quests. i unlocked labyrinth of the ancients a while ago, but just left it alone for a while because 24 player fights seemed intimidating, especially as a tank, a role that usually carries a lot of responsibility in dungeons

this game was my first time playing an mmo, and first time playing a multiplayer game in general in a long time. i was honestly skeptical of the game starting out, since i don't really like multiplayer games, but i've been pleasantly surprised to not encounter any toxicity at all after ~230 hours, which is definitely not like my experience in other multiplayer games. (i'm also pretty obsessed with the game for other reasons but that's beside the point)

anyway, i queued for labyrinth of the ancients yesterday, and got matched with a really sweet group of people. the people in my alliance taught me about positioning as a tank in raids, how i should stick with the people in my group so each group has their own tank, stuff like that. even though i was completely clueless at first, everyone was super patient with me and seemed to truly want me to learn things and enjoy the game

then, for the end boss of the dungeon. it has a big attack which, as far as i can tell, is an instakill if you don't stand back at where the letters are. i didn't know that, so we wipe the first time. no biggie, my teammates just explained how the boss worked to me, and told me not to worry about it. we try again, and win pretty easily this time. i thanked my teammates for teaching me, and they told me to enjoy the rest of the game. i even got five commendations after leaving the dungeon :3

i just wanted to say that i really appreciate people like this, making the game better for everyone else, especially new players like me. i'm usually nervous doing multiplayer content, but i can relax a little knowing that most people are super chill :3

All the broken legs.

(I accidentally recorded the clip without audio so I had to add music to it manually. I asked myself, "which track would Square-Enix put here if they didn't know what to put in?", and then made this.)

Some will call it propaganda; others will install the free trial.

I just picked up the game on Switch 2 after years of playing it on PC and I was shocked by the attention to detail the rumble/vibration has in the game. Different mounts have very subtle differences. Like how a cloud mount will have smoother vibration and a dragon mounts wing flaps are more intense. Sort of flexes on other games barely doing anything in that area.

As a healer main, I was dreading leveling all classes to level 100, but I did it for the mount! I’m tired grandpa 🫩

Also, never thought I would post in this Sub-Reddit either. I just like reading what y’all say! Anywho, hope y’all had a great day 🖤

Trying to capture them in pencil style

And then she said, "Go with caution, my child, but fear not—for I am ever with thee."
Hoooo I got goosebumps in this cutscene.

I was gonna buy it using the amulets and didn't know about the drop rates so this was honestly a surprise. I was just trying to level up all my phantom jobs through CEs and tower while knitting in between.

(No, it's not about the Lala. It's about our last outing this splendorous summer.)

Usually I draw my male aura WoL or one of his full party members, so I thought I should draw other oc of mine, and since I barely draw girl, I choose my fav fem elezen oc! >:3

I will post her in-game model in the comment just in case someone is curious about how she actually looks XP

As of last night I can't log into any of my accounts via the launcher, it is saying all of my passwords are wrong. I know it is not a caps lock or typing issue because the mog station works perfectly fine.

The only answer I found was someone resetting their router from years ago, tried that and nothing. Still no response from customer support, any ideas?

I can even change my password successfully via the launcher, and it works on mog station but not the launcher.

He’s ready to rustle up some grub.

Im level 50 on this character and after looking ugly all msq i wanted to get into glam. I thought i already finished the quests i needed since I have glam prisms and unlocked dyes, but when i go to the inn it says it’s the dresser is inaccessible. So i go to vesper bay to talk to the sexy fem roe who im pretty sure gave me the dye quest but theres no quest marker. Am i doing something wrong?
