    Bravely Default put me in the FF14 mood (of which I only played a little bit on the rerelease), so I decided to just browse the thread to get my fill. Then that v-day photo made me want to play. Must...resist.

    What's that? You want me to delve into my 8 gigs worth of FFXIV screenshots and post more stuff to show you how awesome the game is?

    Well if you insist, I'll get right on that once I get home from work!

    No need:

    Not that I'd say no to seeing awesome screenshots..I have not been to the screenshot thread in a few moons.

    I put off the Valentine's Day event until the last possible moment and I'm glad I ended up doing it before it poofed. Easily the most miserable and misanthropic Valentine's event ever A++ would play accomplice to the destruction of true love again.

    I don't think that's what it was. I mean, there were no happy endings, but not because of anything you did.

    I mean, I feel worse for the Valentone lady. She feels compelled to stand out in public getting wolf whistled and cat called because tradition.

    I also said I wouldn't make a lalafell, but I'm weak there too, apparently. But LOOK at this glorious mustache, how could I say no?!

    You could say no by sticking to your standards and not making a Falafell.

    You wound me. I'm taking my mustache and going home.

    It was nice to have something different than your typical sappy hallmark Valentines day thing (Although there was plenty o that via the Players themselves :) ). This event was very interesting in that regard.

    Bro with all the shit you did for Yellow Moon you are probably an accomplice to manslaughter. There is no dodging responsibility on this one. The protagonist is an agent of heartbreak.

    Clearly this is all subliminal messaging by the devs to tell us human emotions and relationships are ultimately futile so GET BACK TO GRINDING LOOT.

    All the events have been pretty awesome thus far, so I don't think you'll be disappointed by future events :)

    They typically don't take much time to do, and pretty inclusive and you get neat event gear

    The writing in this game is pretty good all around. I have to remind myself to slow down and read. The plot isn't super clever or original and the game knows it. It knows that it's a silly anime at best. But the writers go about it in a really charmingly good natured way, with a lot of wordplay. I think the translators are cripplingly addicted to puns.

    Also it constantly mocks you for being the protagonist.

    Look. She wanted all that toxic crap, and they wanted to give it to her knowing what she was doing with it. The only tragedy here is that any of the stupid survived.

    Many months ago on September 2010 me and my brother bought the CE's of FF14 1.0, made characters and were immediately disappointed.

    Fast-forward to the present, he sees me having fun with 2.0 and wants jump on in as well. Does anyone know, since he has FF14 1.0 registered on his account, if he can log into the Mogstation and download the 2.0 game? So he can retrieve his old 1.0 character, items, etc.

    Awesome. Thanks! Do you know if he would be able to continue playing with his 1.0 character if he buys FF14 for the PS4? (He's debating weather to continue playing it on the PC or Console. The controller handles surprisingly well with this game)

    As it so happens the quest explicitly confirms that they don't realize the nonsensical assortment of monster bits are in any way connected to the chocolates.

    Oh yeah. It's terribly self aware. The quest added in 2.1 where the guy is bemoaning the fact that there's all these adventurers in revenant's toll but they're all too busy hanging out at Rhowena's shop to do guild hests made me laugh out loud.

    I don't recall seeing that, but I'll concede the point because my memory sucks.

    I agree with Biggs Wedge.

    Lulu outfit for black mages would be raaaaaaaad.

    Oh, and give me Rikku's FFX outfit for monks and I'd immediately start levelling monk to 50.

    Broke down and started playing this game the other day. Having a blast so far! Love the writing, music, graphics, and general Final Fantasy trappings.

    Any chance I can get an invite to the FC? My character's name is Galatea Bosch. Thanks in advance :D

    The tin can is the best armor in the game Corehealer, learn to love it. Nothing is more amusing than when a cutscene pans to the tin can for a reaction shot and it's *blank stare*

    Most of the reaction shots are a blank stare for about half of the shot until your character goes "Oh yeah, I'm supposed to emote here."

    FF14 certainly has to be one of the prettiest mmos out there, which is all the more impressive since it runs like butter for me, when many less pretty games chug.
    It has a lot of nice touches I appreciated. They seemed to have gotten the lighting JUST right, and Limsa Lominsa at night has got to be one of the most stunning places I've seen in a game.
    Also a small thing, but I really like how my cloak sways in the breeze and if I turn around, it flaps on the otherside of me just as you'd expect if it was real wind. Little touches like that really draw me into a game's atmosphere.

    Oh goddammit, I'm an idiot.

    I thought the Valentione's Day event lasted 'til the 24th, just like the Lightning event.

    Bought a Bitter Chocolate on the market to complete the quest, but whoops, it's not there anymore!

    So I joined the free company. Is there a reason to join the FC but not the linkshell, or should I join both or what? I don't really know the difference between the two.

    Free company is the 'guild'. Linkshells are basically party lines, used for general chat by smaller cliques within the free company or for specific purposes, like raiding.

    Ahh gotcha. Well then the FC will do just fine for now I suppose. Probably a while before I need to worry about things like raiding!

    Redolent Rose is just being honest. Weaving is a giant pain in the butt to level, because of all the sub-steps to make just about anything.
