I've betrayed my vows and made Shi'n a lancer instead........

*rattles my free trial cage*

LET ME INVITE A FELLOW TRIAL PLAYER INTO A PARTY YOU COWARDS

this thread will just be me complaining about ffxiv trial , feel free to mute it

who is the asshat that came in the lancer's guild and knocked ppl around, i wanna sweep the floor with his ass

[no need to tell me, im just 'wow, the archer's quest line didn't have someone spearpoint charging me at lvl10 and my char didn't even flinch']

Sir, please find some fashion, my eyes are tearing up

Thenk ye kindly sir, I smooch yer cheek

17 lvls in a day......... it's gonna slow down from now on but i guess it's a decent start :v

If I had to call a man daddy............

AH..........time for a nap i guess...

ADJG
IT'S JUST GETTING WORSE....

mr frog is serenading us

....the way Thancred speaks irritates me

finally some decent news

ok, you know what? he's fine, so long as i dont have to literally /listen/ to him

>:O I HAVE 3 DIFFERENT GRAND COMPANIES COURTING ME?

oh dear...

....2 hours of talking to ppl across the map and killing like 10 mobs, no wonder they're revamping the campaign this is so tedious....

he's not a very tall man, but he likes napping in tall places

BUTT

late 20s armor is looking pretty spiffy

leather, scales, mail *chef's kiss*

and oh, alas, poor Foulques you bastard....

owo? is time to see this guy everyone wants to fuck???

so far ive ignored just everything and careened through the story and only have a barebones grasp on the plot, which isn't complicated or anything

but EVERYTHING is just clicking through 4 npcs in a row talking then killing 2 mobs and then listening to the same 4 npcs talk AGAIN

there's no incentive to do any FATES or roll into the Duty Finder to do a dungeon it feels like :/

i know the update is in a couple of days and all but wow, if the rest of the game demands i do a thing for the story which then is not needed afterwards why do it in the 1st place?

ignore my whining, im just bored of doing the same thing for the past.... 10~ish? hours in this game? in quick succession.

while in dps q >:V

*frantically trying to decide if making a new character when the update drops is worth it because I wanna dress Yor up too or should tough HW out with Shi'n and if I do, am i gonna stay true to Yor and not making him.........something....else....*

time to retire till 5.3 i guess :V

im gonna play through HW from spite alone, simply to go through the dragoon story and get EXP FOR IT DAMMIT

Sir, please look like yourself, I'M BEGGING YOU....

[I will never make Yor look like HIMSELF in any fucking character creator, will I....]

haven't been in ishgard for more than an hour and...

*ORGAN MUSIC BLASTING IN MY EARS*

.......yeah, im starting to see where the 'catholic elves' thing is coming from

the music during the fight with Titan?

FUCK YEAH!!

still trying to figure out which thotty rose bush was flirty enough with its behind to throw out a HIP

this man has aged 30 years in 2 campaign quests

OH?

WE MEET GOOD ELF BOI SOON?

another one of that infernal house? go find a vampire to smooch you :V

aw lady, say sweet words to this bastard and then he'll just steal your heart with his pretty face and good manners and you'll never see him again

....... i need to start figuring out how glamours work...........

*shoves head under snow*

PLEASE STOP BLASTING ORGAN MUSIC IN MY EARS........

*grumbles while muting bgm volume* goddamn elves, got nothing between their ears than heretics, honour, dragons and ORGAN MUSIC

now I see where the CATHOLIC ELVES comes from....

*swears to never attempt to play a non-supportive class ever again*

fuck these queues

WOOSH

sir......your pants..........

WHAT"S HAPPENING?????

and they all flew away towards the horizon.......

*progresses dragoon story*

*Estinien appears*

OH, A SELF-SACRIFCING FOOL

uwu

BASTARD SPOTTED

I knew there was a reason i didnt like him >:V

"MY LORD"

oh gods, Shi'n will bust somethign laughing at that title BUT OK THANKS

me, with Kain ff4 constantly on mind - Ah, shit. Here we go again.

i am left with 1+1/2 lvl to grind before the next story quest opens............................must i really go into the duty finder for this? the dunegons are so....weird.....................

got a notif saying i cant have any more gil in trial and to upgrade before logging off

i think that's my queue to yeet away very soon

ill probably check the story of all tye dlcs and stuff on yt and call it a day........

JUST LET ME FINISH ARR ALREADY...

istg, once all that shit with estinien is done, im switching to astrologian(or JUST A HEALER.......) and never looking back q~q

HNNGGGGGGG....

ah yes, the ol' razzle dazzle

back to 0.....

WE WERE GOING IN AND THEN SOMEONE WITHDREW AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

ok, enough, ive been waiting for 27 minutes, im logging off >:C

ill try later.....

ok the entire ending 'cutscene' is too long and all at once so

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

also, you're on thin fuckign ice babe

barring stuff happening..... tomorrow i do the lvl50 dragoon quest and??? is this where heavensward starts?

or is there post-arr stuff?

oh gods i want this all to end by it's become a habit at this point and what the fuck do i do after im done?

the grind through arr was so weeiiiiirdddd

im more or less interested in seeing what has other ppl happy so i can understand THEM rather than enjoying myself, get me?

OMG THE MAGITEK MOUNT PLAYS THE FF6 THEME AND IM

*bawls ugly sobs*

all my years playing ffvi....for this.......

i just realised (very late, i know) that i won't be able to do the dragoon quests past lvl60.....

..........i dont wanna play anymore

imma go back to ff4 or 5 or 6 or 7 or 8 or 9....not 10....or 12............or 13..................

fuck you ff14, you being a habit is awful

holy shit didnt realise there's like 50 msq until heavesward......

dont make me run 10 dungeons before i can go to the elves......... i dont wanna.....

THANCRED SAYS HE'S GONNA FORSAKE ELEGANCE FOR EFFICIENCY AND STARTS DOING BACKFLIPS AND SOMERSAULTS??????

DUDE????

I see Shi'n softly smiling and i start crying

DONT LOOK AT ME

OK leviathan has a fun fight

Alphinaud, my child, considering our WoL *does not speak*......calling theirs a silver tongue is.........

regardless, Shi'n can be a charming bastard.....tho not in a conniving way but the very literal....

can i say? the political tone of the post-ARR, pre-HW quests are.....nice

*crosses fingers*

PLEASE GIVE ME A NICE LITTLE TALK WITH RAMUH INSTEAD OF ANOTHER FIGHT............

orz

and ppl claim Ramuh is reasonable.....FUUUUUCK

....Urianger, your voice sounds incredibly familiar......

no more duties PLEASE, everything is so hectic and flashy and i cant notice ANYTHING, mechanics, aoe rings, effects on me, on others, my own damned HEALTH BAR even

i died to ramuh twice because everyone was so scattered i couldn't figure out main tank from off tank or ANYTHING

i apologised during my 2nd death and nobody said anything but......still feels shitty

moogle delivery service please? I do have a fwen on my list?? why do you say such things? q^q

AYY FINALLY SNOW, ELVES, HAURSCHEFANT

time to throw a snowball at his face

AHA
the *other* elf....

*checks guide for snowcloak*

*looks straight at camera*

i hate this

MOAR ELF.....

a Bard was sitting around Gridania's main aetheryte and playing Legend of Zelda and Mario songs q-q

they got a little crowd of us clapping and cheering and dancing, weehhh CUTE

knife's advice to close off particles was a fucking lifesaver

HAURCHEFANT.................

get this man drunk, i wanna hear him profess his undying love to us all flustered and completely unashamed

astrum set....pretty.......maybe i should dye it

ok there's this part where i need to have a bunch of [hard] duties open and ????? where the fuck....do i even start to look

*opens wiki*

wait, I need to *do* them, not just open them?? SGYD FUCK

*puts face in hands and cries*

can I PLEASE go 1 quest without having to check how a dungeon works and wait 15m in q for a duty i scarsely understand and would have been much better as a solo encounter?

*grumbles and opens youtube*

Keeper of the Lake, take 2

cause last night i had to bail mid-run after waiting 20' in q and i still feel bad about it, even when none said...anything when i said id have to bail? djkoashfbsi

this was from yesterday but

these numbers make me anxious
*wrings hands*

we almost 3-maned Keeper of the Lake but alas, our healer got caught in the aoe and it was soon over u_u

it was a good run tho, seems doable even with less ppl o.o

uhu, i relly didnt need to know what you and that inanimate crystal get up to in your free time mid-mid

now i have a snarky lizard following me

WHAT

while i wait for the Chrysalis q to fill up

i maintain that some duties could have been SO MUCH BETTER story-wise as far as impact goes, if only they were solo encounters

q-q let me do my campaign without worrying about a bunch of mechanincs and ppl all the time

YOU DID NOT JUST TAKE AWAY MY BIG, BUFF, AXE-WIELDING SCHOLAR LADY, YOU DID NOT...................

TT^TT

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

ha....Lucia, wouldn't my so-called expertise be outshone by...say AN AZURE DRAGOON? EVEN MAYBE A RETIRED ONE??? >:V

THERE YOU ARE YOU LIL SHIT........

ok, he's tall, fuck him

im surprised they didnt adjust Aymeric's dialogue when Estinien calls us an Azure Dragoon, it's like Estinien acknowledging that in a line was an afterthought

had the first mention of THE VAULT in this convo and my first instinct was to fucking HISS wtf

dork <3

2 dragoons, satnding 0 feet apart cause the diff is in the height

*stares vacantly at ceiling*

.......size diff........

hello darkness my old friend..........

40m later, i finish the steps of faith and visit haurchefant to mooch his cheek

crystal tower.......

....AH CID, i was wondering where you were, you old coot

WHOMST THE FUCK

YOU

he's........buffer than i expected

24....player......................................................................................................................................

*dies*

NO.......NOOOOO.......

holy shit the q for labyrith was TINY??

HOLY SHIT EVERYTHING JUST //MELTED// IN THERE

YOU LIL POUTY, MOUTHY SHIT I LOVE YOU

did....did they seriously dump 2 raids back to back .-.

nero is the travolta meme in the bg

HOW MANY RAIDS DID THEY PUT BACK TO BACK TO BACK OMG WHAT

finished the crystal tower raid rush story in one sitting and im still like

.........suddenly i want to gather all the music scrolls that i can

the moment when the game tells you to make sure you have enough tiem see a 'series of cutscenes'

........ho boy, here we go

.....................HOLY FUCK????

aaaaaaand there's MORE........

holy shit, im nearing a feature length movie at this rate

I love this man........................

I......I cry...

somehow acquired the Ardbert minion from a.....even quest?

anyway, im getting mildly spoiled by the description, BUT IT'S SO CUTE???

*looks at my veritable hoard of the armor i got through quests*

...i should do more duties huh.......

Im......im..........holy fuck........................

and finally.......the 50~60 DRG quests........................

*walks into Ishgard*

*insta-grabs astrologian and dark knight quests for later*

>:3c

AHA, FOUND SOMEONE INTERESTING!

SOON FRAY, SOON

if ignore the blue of the eyes, you.........look far too much like my Yor and I am already conflicted on how much I actually like you or /will/ like you

Emmanellain......I will put you over my knee and you will not like it you little shit

it's alright Haurchefant, I'll call him a bumbling idiot in your stead, don't fret

i'd have hit you harder if it were up to ME you fool

camera acrobatics ensue, as an NPC I wish to converse with is besieged by players on all sides

hFJFKGKJ

*spends 20 minutes running around ishgard's snowscapes in the middle of the night*

*mission ends*

*it's day*

OH FUCK MY EYES

*recoils at the wording*

augh, of course

ashjdgvjh complimenting Shi'n will get you /nowhere/ Aymeric, but do continue, you're being very endearing.....

THIS IS A MENACE AND A DEAR AND I ADORE HIM.....

did...did Alphinaud's VA change in HW???????

FUCK YEAH, THIS WHAT I MEANT WHEN I SAID NO MORE DUTIES AND MORE SINGLE PLAYER ENCOUNTERS

going in with Alph and Yugiri to save Raubahn feels INFINITELY better than a duty!

*chokes*

WHY DIES ESTINIEN SOUND LIKE HE SMOKES 10 PACKS A DAY?

*snorts*

little troublemaker, i knew i liked you for something other than being a self-sacrificing idiot

.....someone hold me back or im gonna do somethign stupid, Estinien's swagger as he walks away has me feeling SOMETHING

*i slowly wrap my lil gremlin hands around Estinien's neck under pretense of a hug or giving massage, but indeed, my deception merely conceals my ire and want to strangle him for being too lazy to bend over and look under a table*

...............i see you putting aether current in weird spots ff14, i see those among you who've played guild wars >:V

...........................................i will strangle him

i love him, but i will strangle him

why do i get so giggly every time i get to choose dialogue for myself dnaiosdbfhisdf

.....the Gnath are cute

Ysayle gives Estinien the stink eye when he shit-talks dragons and he just shrugs, i love it

why do ALL THE ELVES LOVE US SO MUCH??

i love them make no mistake but.............is it like catnip??? is our galantry+chivalry+foolhardyness confused for some kind of honour?????????????

WHAT IS IT?

OR ARE WE JUST THAT HOT??

hnnngggg

i get vertigo every time i jump down from a ledge to skip running around in a sactuary but.........

watching Shiva on the beatdown with Ravan was nice......if skimpy af.....

and i naively thought i would not have to go into duty finder for this

*sighs dejectedly*

the moment i get more armor and dyes, it's over for you lot

dropped by at an inn for the first time since lvl......20 and Shi'n finally has FRECKLES than can be SEEN.....

I should re-arrange my HUD..............

this feels....good, but pretty spaced out and inefficient.........

LOOK AT HIM, I LOVE HIM SO MUCH........................

his smile makes me weak T^T

I will forever be dissatisfied with the long hair options in mmos but......it kinda looks like Yor?

[if I ignore that forehead ornament thingy it's fine......]

HUD changes...complete?

time to see how this setup fares.....

:^)

how about no.......

I think I'm gonna spend the rest of the night crying

'A smile better suits a hero.' YOU FUCKER........................NO, I WONT FUCKING SMILE

I think.....yeah, I'll switch to astrologian for now and just.....not think a lot

*sets HW down*

I'll get back to you.......later, maybe after the end of my exams this month and I indulge my brain in buying the game........................

why is wrangling the ffxiv hud such an ordeal?

I keep doing minor fixes every couple of days and yesterday I did an complete overhaul and now I want to move everythign around AGAIN

*cries*

HOLD ON, HOLD ON, WHY AM I SEEING KEFKA IN FFXIV VIDS

IS HE IN SB???????????

[I was just searching for what themes other than Dark Cloud's ffxiv had and............................should have realised id be spoiling stuff for myself BUT OK DID NOT EXPECT THIS??]

and Exdeath.................

*hand keeps creeping closer to wallet each day*

*casually adds another hotbar to the mix*

I now have 6 hotbars working and none of them are full

the insta q for the lvling healer duties........spicy

*wiggles fingies*

considering I haven't played healer in.....

*checks empty wrist*

4ish years with d2 taking over my life and all, I feel like I'm acclimating pretty fast to ast

the card buffs will take some getting used to, but the rest..... nice

.-.

wanted to lvl ast for a bit, but connection wiffed right as the duty started.............................................

i dont wanna play anymore.........

*spends 1 hour fixing HUD over and over and over and over and over an-*

*flops over*

*scuttles off to duty finder to lvl AST*

pls no more connection wiffs like yesterday..........

asedfgf
the tank and i finished half a boss on our own cause the rest died at teh beginning and didnt wait for a possible rez LOL

*beats brain back from going back to the pc at 2am to lvl cause im feeling restless AF*

impulse made characters in both Famfrit and Goblin u_u

I only have 1 more fantasy character to spare if I decide to appear in another data centre.................................

*does two dungeons on lvling roulette*

ok, im exhausted

I just realised you can't START AS A ROGUE????

IM OFFENDED

having to do stuff as another class till like lvl10 to manage to get rogue is a personal attack >:C

im luv.....giffy and their whale T^T

getting back on track with DRG on the campaign after I finish with my exams will kick my ENTIRE ASS

u_u

fucking around with AST and slow leveling alts and then returning to JUST post-Vault.............................

back to bothering ppl in lvl roulette with my ast shenanigans

I WILL LEARN...........

WELP.....I'd been wondering where the fuck Alisaie was, turns out I'd missed a unlocking quest from her in Wineport...........................................................................................

*keeps getting 2+ reccs in duties*

*feels like a fraud because after 10lvls of ast I just realised the difference between half the cards*

*shrugs*

at least nobody dies, if anybody dies then it's a wipe

unless it's only me and the tank alive, then it's a win

it's mocking me

*curls into a ball*

someone do levelling roulette w/ me so I won't feel like a complete fool when I die to mechanics I already know........................................

YOU JUST SLAP A KRAKEN TO BECOME A BLUE MAGE

SDHBSOIJBF

why is blue mage so fun?????

It's so quirky, I LOVE IT

I should get Blue Mage on Samh....she can pull off a good Quistis look +_+

asihyfgvdugfvas

FUCK GETTING KILLER STING

a lil cheeky bastard u_u

u_u

i wish you could sit while fishing......

getting into gathering/crafting jobs was the last thing i thought id be doing tonight............

*holds head*

why am i so intimidated by a duty AGAIN??? what do i get so apprehensive for!?

*incrimentally changes the shade of Shi'n's hair and adds gray-ish highlight*

>:D old man....

why do i keep getting tanks that run off and pull 1+1/2 rooms just why, and why do i healing them and not just letting us wipe???

*reaches lvl in roulette to open Aurum Vale*

*squints*

I've heard Sophie complain about you and I wary.......

leveling roulette gods, pls have mercy on me and don't dump me in aurum vale.........................

in other news, i now have Rescue available to me :)

*screams interanlly about fuckos trying to teach me about wall-to-wall pulls in the most condencending attitude available for purchase*

no.

baby's first blacklist

this was the cherry on top of a bad day, still feeling pretty livid, jeez why do i expect gamers to not be elitists even if they dont superficially seem toxic

i dont care if you think i cant keep up with 'the usual'

maybe the usual is shit to lots of players

*wiggles*

level 50 AST

*wiggles more*

*flies over Camp Dragonhead*

*throws a kiss to the stars*

T^T

considering I decided to make Shi'n of Sharlayan descent JUST THE OTHER NIGHT, I will be interpreting how this is said however I want~~

in the end...I think I'll stick to dps, healing ain't bad, but it doesn't hit the same way in ffxiv than in other mmos ive played

[aion, it's always aion 4.6 with me, it's my golden fucking standard and 18yo Nana will jump out of my bones to shout about it any time you ask]

or maybe i just get peeved far too easily nowadays or im just too stressed to want to deal with ppl being ducks in games and healer gets a fair bit of flack in any game and i dont have the patience for it

*shiftlily queues in as tank*

this can only go badly....

can't believe only DRG makes me feel comfy so far in this game......

sometimes I just wanna see him smile while looking pretty

[yes, daystar set isn't anything special, it's still pretty]

dps queues are awful even in leveling rou

well, fuck

looking for the last aether current in the western highlands be like

he's cosplaying the Smiths

Never NOT taking dramatic shots with this pose don't @ me u_u

back to learning how to tank u_u

I see Ace doing the story and zooming in so hard on Fray and I also wanna do it! But jumping in DRK while being a complete baby sounds like a bad idea, so gladiator from scratch it is.....

F-FRAY??

boy, soaking up the sun and ready to fall asleep on his feet

*aggressively Qs in as tank*

*only pulls 5~6 mobs at a time*

=3= I'm just here for Fray

AH.....

Shi'n baby..... why are you so tiny......even Fray is taller.....

vibrates in "let me fight Odin, dps queues suck ass"

healer rescues me into pulling more adds

I go on pulling more adds

we die

I seethe

lvl45 drk quest starts - *Fray's disappointment*

me -

lvl45 drk quest ending - I love Fray but I fear for his (AND OURS) mental health Q-Q

[also, I love the sudden shift of 'me and him' to 'US' in the quest description from lvl40 q to lvl45 q, I THINK I kinda understand what's hppening here......]

u_u

working through the screenshot folder and my order of businees goes thusly

- titty window armor for Shi'n
- DAMMIT NANA, SET UP FOR MODS
- mod for better titty
- I could probably find armor to make him look like a villain and now I'M THIRSTING

THE PUNS IN THIS GAME, IM..........

I'm getting Chrono Trigger vibes

AH, YES
as opposed to any /other/ spit

*swoons*

Still thinking about this and considering Shi'n's family never really put down roots, where adventurers and explorers to the marrow and after his amnesia he was desperate to have a connection to anything from his past and now he's burdened with being the WoL.......*WAILS*

I HAVE BEEN UNLEASHED...........................................................

I ASCEND

*staggers off to bed*

16gig update after getting game, end me..............................................
