@decisiongamer @KimbleeFucker 2003 and the original are very different stories, they split from each other pretty early. I don't think the 2003 anime really tried to touch on it in the same way the source material does.

@KimbleeFucker Is 2003 anime much better in this regard (serious question)? It's the only version I finished but I haven't read the manga and it was a long time ago

It has a massive detrimental flaw and thats the HUGE censorship of fascism and military violence that arakawa put years into researching for the manga only to have scenes she herself said were required to understand the context of the world and story entirely removed.

@Actually_Tina this is reminding me, i wonder what song soken is going to otomatone at fanfest this time lmao

Oh my god

@Moth_Lobster R3 is probably early next year release if the interviews are anything to go off of

@lextheglider @Datightguy @envinyon Really gives me hope that we will see R3 soon, like even if just in trailer form. I give it another year at most before the trailer drops.

naoki yoshida might be the smartest guy at square enix also saying this right after it took them 8 years to make the most recent entry is funny. Yeah I guess he'd have strong feelings about how long it takes.

@Datightguy @envinyon honestly they’ve already basically proven they can do this with remake/rebirth. considering how massive rebirth was its amazing that game came out in 3 years, but makes sense because its framework was already well developed.

@envinyon I just need SE to make the next mainline FF a solid entry and then make the next two entries with the same formula on the same engine with tons of reused assets. I understand games aren't easy to make but I'm sure it'll help if they reuse enemy models and building structures.

@FeristalJ They use static a lot for the echo flashbacks (the scene with the memory of the ancients and elidibus is particularly notable)

I wonder what else uses static in FFXIV that could qualify for an ultimate. That's right nie- Oh.

@KitaruTC i should specify the italian name for grafaiai lol

@KitaruTC @UltimaShadowX @FranDarkstar another person in the thread mentioned that if it’s using all languages it’s very close to the italian word for rentals. Either way it’s a very strange data set

I love how Flamigo is apparently the 2nd most popular Pokémon on the technicality that people typo flamingo when searching in Google.

@UltimaShadowX @FranDarkstar My guess is there was a TCG set named after it in 2024, depends on how theyre calculating the searches i guess

@FranDarkstar Maybe another typo or something else closely named?

@NipahDUBS @PurrtissierSeb yeah i knew they were taking auditions for the main cast, but considering the vast majority of ARR is unvoiced its not surprising. but yeah if its replacing the original actor's scenes that would be really weird :/

@lextheglider @PurrtissierSeb Yeah, they were taking auditions for all the main cast and it looks like they would have replaced the existing VAs . I can't verify it 100% cause the CC page is gone.

Saw that FFXIV voice acting fan made project before I got on my flight and was like "Oh neat, I may try and do that" and then when I landed all evidence of it was gone. For a good hour today I thought I imagined it and had somehow gaslit myself that it was a thing.

@NipahDUBS @PurrtissierSeb does it replace preexisting voices? i thought it was just supposed to add to non voiced stuff.

@PurrtissierSeb I suppose, I didn't notice they were trying to make it an actual mod/addon in the game till after it was gone. Knowing that now, I wouldn't have tried out for it, weird imo to replace existing VAs work with the mod.

@envinyon p11 was like "okay so is he gonna do something new this time? no? damn..."

"p7s is so backloaded" yeah but it has any mechanics, which is more than I can say for p11

seeing pretty divided opinions on fights gets me excited, personally

@HrothgalSai @envinyon theyre talking about unreal

@envinyon I mean at this point you’re so high levelled that doing them unsync’d trivializes them.

After doing most of stormblood's extremes now, I do think most of them are boring by current standards but there's something to be said about high end content that you can grab a friend, tell them what to do in a couple minutes, and clear no issue

照らされる犬

my advice for navigating creative burnout/ artblock, if it helps.

@envinyon my prediction was he’s actually the 4th fight but it takes the next step after combining multiple feral souls and combines the feral souls of all our previous encounters (or at least the last encounters of m4 and m8 or something)

Mentally prepared for brute bomber to not make a return this tier. M9 is likely the elezen lady, we know M10, M11 is probably the elezen dude. M12 is a question mark but I can't imagine him being the finale

@RapidusSMG this happened to me *after* I finished pitioss and i had to redo nearly the entire dungeon because it hadn't saved 🥲

I’m going to hang myself

@Actually_Tina the guys should form a static, i think it’d be funny

I dont follow XIV drama too much but the girl who was edating 8/9 guys in the game at the same time and they all just found out has been an amusing sideshow

@KiwiCat_TV honestly if the release is as it should be, savage would be closer to new years than on christmas. its just a weird window no matter what lol.

Every JP comment is excited for this patch. Meanwhile NA is melting down over savage close to Christmas. I seriously implore you to remember that most people are off work/school meaning more people can play at this time. Also, not every country celebrates Christmas and Japan heavily celebrates New Year’s. The likelihood of a delay to January is low. Reminder: prioritize your family and holiday over week one savage if that is what is important to you. The tier is not going anywhere and you will have plenty of time to clear/get BiS before the new ultimate. This is a video game. It can wait if you have real life responsibilities.

@enralis also congrats!

@enralis is this how im learning the director of the sonic movies was a ringling grad...

Now I can say I got the same award as the director of the Sonic movies 🤓
