Big Hat

@JeffJoestar_VT @Lianney9ub @embersarcade @SquareEnix So, in other words, you disagree with a ban that happens when it's not in the game *and* you have no stake? Wow. Glad you are trying to insert yourself. Now, just share your Lodestone so SE can ban you for your out of game behavior, like you are wanting to happen to others.

@Lianney9ub @abighatlogan @embersarcade @SquareEnix doesn't matter, you said it as an FFXIV player. banned!

The XIV community’s glee over Xeno being banned for behavior outside of the game is the height of hypocrisy. I have been in this community for years. I’ve seen your behavior, read your messages—you are no more virtuous than him. You loathe your reflection.

@Lianney9ub @embersarcade @SquareEnix I have determined you are just insulting another player and trying to play coy. Should be banned, according to your own philosophy.

@abighatlogan @embersarcade @SquareEnix I’m encouraging player growth, which is tos approved. Hurray!

@Lianney9ub @embersarcade "Grow the hell up" sounds like an insult, which is a ToS breach *outside the game*, apparenlty. @SquareEnix should really find your account and ban it.

@embersarcade If you need anyone to police your speech, it probably was shit to begin with. If you conduct yourself reasonably, irl or in a video game, you won’t find yourself with issues. Grow the hell up. This is childish whining.

@Grummz I see the people saying "They have a TOS that says you can't 'harass' or 'talk bad about devs/others'", but I think they are forgetting that SE literally *hires* people that publicly wish death upon people. This was their "lore consultant".

Twitch streamer Xenosys was just banned from Final Fantasy FFXIV. Square-Enix said he violated their policy for "aggressive comments and behavior against others during twitch streams." We're only one step away from "Banned if you say bad things about our game online."

@llamatodd @KitsuraNines I could have went my whole life without knowing... (the meme is a joke)

@KitsuraNines The ones in diapers are called crinklers, because of the sound they make

mad trans people love to call people pedofiles for having anime art on their profile but they get real quiet when one of their own is gooning while wearing diapers irl. not to mention integrating MAPs under their ever growing flag. it’s very interesting.

@HouseMajPAC Tell us you are lying and/or out of touch without telling us.

@thomasmahler @AaronActionRPG Now I play NRftW and I can't go back to it and even PoE2 isn't really looking good to me.

@thomasmahler @AaronActionRPG I used to root for LE. They were an underdog. The game was clunky, a bit dated looking, and the builds did the same old "just focus on pressing this one button to win" , but they were indie and had good ideas. Now they've sold out and went back on every promise they made before.

Already Reading: "Dead Game" / "AI Slop" / "Krafton Killed It" / "Where's The Content?" "How Much Is This Season?" Blah Blah Blah...... What the hell happened to the ARPG community!?

@PhaseConnect Literally making every wrong move and bending the knee to people who don't support you while you uphold the statements of someone who advocated for political assassination...

An important notice regarding recent events. Thank you for understanding!

@thomasmahler My two buddies and I are big FF fans, with me having FFT as my favorite. We're 50hrs into y'all's game. Can't wait to see your spin on one of the best class systems ever done! I think it will be better to have classes to switch between instead of locking stats to your character.

Since we released No Rest for the Wicked Together, we’ve now officially given the internal green light to make the new class system the default. Let me explain why we’re making what looks like such a drastic change. For the last couple of decades, most ARPGs have picked one of two approaches: 1) Hard class systems. Games like Diablo or Path of Exile ask you to pick a class upfront, and that decision defines your character forever. You can branch a bit within the boundaries designers allow (e.g. Hammerdin in D2), but you can’t truly craft your own class - you’re always working inside a predefined box. 2) Attribute systems. Games like Dark Souls or Fallout let you allocate stat points as you level up, and your build emerges from those choices. From Software has used this model for ~17 years, so many assume it’s “solved.” But attribute systems come with inherent issues: players can’t realistically know which stats to invest in early, and once choices are made, you’re either locked in or forced to rely on respec systems to undo mistakes. We don’t think either approach is ideal - which is why we’ve been working on something different. With the upcoming Jobs System in Wicked, your character’s class adapts dynamically based on how you actually play. If you spend a lot of time swinging swords, you’ll naturally become a better swordsman. If you switch to wands or staves, you’ll start progressing as a mage. Each class has its own weapons, traits, and runes, and players will need to use and master that class to fully unlock its potential. And once mastered, all of the classes skills can be used on other classes as well. Your class isn’t chosen in a menu - it’s earned through play. This system is clearly inspired by Final Fantasy Tactics, and we genuinely believe it could change how players - and even other developers - think about progression systems in ARPGs. I’ve learned a lot about this as a developer: In Ori and the Blind Forest, we introduced a traditional skill tree, and quickly ran into a problem: players want to min-max, and they don’t want to be forced to invest into X just to reach Y. That’s why we moved to the Spirit Shard system in Will of the Wisps. In a similar way, we believe this new Jobs System finally breaks through some long-standing barriers in ARPG progression. It’s always scary at first to make changes like that deep into development, but I’m very much convinced that this is going to be a major step into the right direction, not just for Wicked, but for ARPGs in general. I really think Yasumi Matsuno had figured out the proper answer 30 years ago already and most western developers just haven’t paid enough attention.

@RainyViera @Mrhappy1227 @XenosysVex @ArtharsFF14 MrHappy definitely doesn't qualify.

For the love of... Can we find a FFXIV creator that hasn't completely sold out to the leftist mob, without pronouns in bio? I guess @Mrhappy1227 (questionable), @XenosysVex and @ArtharsFF14 qualify. Actual real men.

@Pirat_Nation Nah. It's gonna be CoD with a coat of Battlefield paint. The beta was a terrible BF showcase. Every map is too small, didn't have enough vehicles, and it just handles like a CoD game. They've also recently decided that Open Weapons are the way forward. More CoD, no thanks.

Battlefield 6 launches tomorrow. Will you play it?

@AnAverageGamerX @MBrunken @Pirat_Nation Radio silent? You mean the video they just put out four days ago talking about their winter plans and 1.0?

@MBrunken @Pirat_Nation Couldn’t find a single game with the mechanics e.g. LOST, >drags modders into this shit to stall the verdict……. Keep defending these freaks This is why they went radio silent

Nintendo argues mods aren't proper games in Pokémon vs. Palworld lawsuit Nintendo disputes the defense, claiming mods rely on an original game and thus shouldn't face patent infringement like Palworld.

@hayasaka_aryan Honestly, I know most here aren't gonna say it, but it's sad. I wouldn't want anyone to want to off themselves. I hope his family is alright.

@FF_XIV_EN Square Enix parting ways with Susan Calloway for liking tweets but retaining this hateful creature says all you need to know about their corporate values

Watch as this absolute nut case tries to subtly justify someone who was part of her movement murdering someone for words.

@TonyNotFunny @VincentMedici @dark_road_games @MadamSavvy @bethesda No idea what you mean by "right-wing". We all have to deal with what they "translated".

@VincentMedici @abighatlogan @dark_road_games @MadamSavvy @bethesda the worst things to happen to right wing “gamers”: 1. their favorite podcaster dies 2. a game is translated oh the horror

Wow. @bethesda producer going above and beyond to celebrate. Crab rave, feeling fancy, and then endless retweets of lies and fear mongering. This isn’t just some low level worker, this is a producer. Who feels fine saying all this, probably sounded by others so full of hate. I knew Bethesda went into the trash, but this badly???

@ShitpostRock Easy. Get Tampermonkey Greasyfork>Nexus Download Collection

@SquareEnix @squareenix_jp Whew. It only gets worse, SE. How can you allow such vile people to be within your company? I enjoyed all your games in my youth and still enjoy your games to this day! But, as I sit here and ride my chocobo from Bastok to the Dunes, I see this?

It's not just Kate Cwynar. Square Enix Board Member Tracy Fullerton amplifies radical left-wing publications like Occupy Democrats on social media, as well as gender ideology extremism within the company's landscape.
