Hello! My name is Kyrie aka
@uwurianger
! Welcome to my slightly unhinged mostly FFXIV (with some other games) tweeter. I fish. I drink tea. I'm also in charge of Eorzean Aquarium Sophia, in Materia DC.
I am begging FFXIV players to play another FF game because FF7, arguably the most popular FF, spends the entirety of its first part in a city run by pseudonuclear power with slums, trains and a modern sewer system.
Admittedly, cool as it looks, I'm a bit dubious about a place like Solution Nine being added to the (ostensibly, allegedly) high fantasy universe of xiv
However, my doubts ARE softened by the prospect of like. My god. They're going to make Estinien go there.....
Just an FYI, the official FF14 twitter asks people not to post spoilers in the early access period on social media. So this isn’t just a community thing - it’s a direct ask from he team.
A whole bunch of DRKs gathered in Balmung's Ul'dah in tribute to Miura tonight, I think there's a real intersection between fans of FF and fans of Berserk.
This signature belongs to equipment designer Eui Kyun Oh who joined in ShB. Known for their medieval styled armor which includes the Cryptlurker and Rinascita sets. They also drew the infamous “Exarch makes a sandwich” picture.

AR, Llymlaen has a unique attack/voice line that triggers upon a player using the /blowkiss emote on her. This attack "Navigator's Dagger" stuns the player and deals MASSIVE true damage, and is a reference to some much-beloved fish lore! 🐟 EN POVS:
The signature on this piece is likely by equipment designer Urabe Yoshimi. Their work includes the Ao Dai, Ala Mhigan Gown, Qitana Ravel armor and the Palaka weapons and armor. They also took the winning Neo Ishgard design from the contest and made it for across all gear types.
Thank you to all the sprouts who accidentally summon the s rank in the area by falling into the Ishgard witch trap (i also jump in of my own volition regularly)
Witchdrop in Coerthas Central Highlands is a gorge where heretics used to be cast into according to Ishgard law. If deemed innocent in the eyes of Halone, their death was quick. However, the accused would reportedly want to transform into a dragon to survive.
Before anyone misinterprets what Soken says and thinks he's hidden something in the song, he's making a reference to Be My Honey being a very specific genre of Japanese otaku pop called denpa music, which literally means "electromagnetic wave". (See: Halko Momoi, Sumire Uesaka)
It also includes "Be My Honey", which is rumored to be emitting strange radio waves from its music.
Enjoy!

I'm not paying for the bird app so here's my translation of the Dengeki Online article released today re: YoshiP recommending people play Eden and Warring Triad before 6.5.
Oh this got me - so Oschon is voiced by someone significant to the WoL in EN/JP and someone said that maybe it reflects their desire to adventure with said character 😭
Evil laughing. Swiftperch, 19:00-3:00 AM ET daily, !!! using Northern Krill (recommended) or Versatile Lure (if you're adventurous). Annoyingly high slip rate.
I’m not the best at my classics but viator as a term for traitor in Garlean society is a fairly well textured reference because a traveler in ancient Roman society wasn’t necessarily someone you wanted around.
There’s a lot of misinformation(?) going round that this is Kate Cwynar - Paula Kaye Gerhold (What Angel Wakes Me vocalist) is also a localization editor.
Masato Shida confirmed in the 10th anniversarly Famitsu interview that the Lakeland elf trees are based on irl jacarandas from Australia and South America. Lakeland Australia confirmed!!!
The creation of astromancy has its origins with the Sharlayan sage Lewphon. From years 210 to 230 of the Sixth Astral Era, he learned much of arcane theory and evidence based astrology.
This is actually historically accurate as Kugane is explicitly a parallel to Dejima, where the head honcho of the Dutch East Indian Company would have been the most powerful person - specifically eclipsing the local magistrate who was kinda there on foreigner watch.
kugane stands out against the other cities because we never actually see a “ruler” type character that represents it like we have with the alliance members, so by process of elimination the closest thing we have to a city-state representative is hancock LMFAO
I am genuinely not happy that a mistranslation is a source of all this nonsense about “dating sim” when having listened to the video that is not what the says at all
This is how you know the majority of people don’t fish because my favourite fishing spot is a random ass place in The Peaks most people do not remember.
my personal opinion is that aether currents are an excuse to really take in the world around you that the devs worked so hard on. slow down and look at stuff while you're popping your compass and zooming through the landscape. smell the roses etc etc etc.

Another Dawntrail question!
What is your wol hoping to find on Tural? New animals perhaps? Or does the promise of something else catch their eye(s)? If they are not going, what are they looking to do instead?

Housing designer NoraSieHousing is unhappy that someone is selling a design on Kofi (for 15 dollary doos) that is very similar to one of their designs. This is frankly, quite awful.
I need some of these people to live in a global south country and have that one kid who went to school overseas for a year and came back with a whole ass new accent
@allisondraste
He was the one I was genuinely curious about because I believe Wyll was the only one who had his VA changed from EA, so to see this is quite frankly, disappointing
Anyway, tl;dr - If you want to get your rocks off in Balmung, it'll be from people who are not native to Balmung. Balmung is just like any other server in the game that used to be a hub for roleplaying campaigns that was accepting of horny.
Just remembered Riol said this, and Tural has been noticably Riol-less unless he turns up at the Shades Triangle like "hey so I was stuck sup what happened"
Once upon a time, in the days of paradise, when Balmung was part of Aether, it was by far and large a very active server. The unofficial RP server, along with resources like the forums and Hydaelyn Roleplayers Coalition, there were resources to get into roleplaying in the game
Were there brothels, bathhouses and ERP? Obviously. Do you know how much money those brothels made back in the day? You had to prove you could write, AND WRITE WELL to get accepted. I saw the applications, people here writing full on literary erotica in that chatbox
A lot of native Balmungites are not impressed by horny. They've seen it all. A lot of them have unbroken subscriptions from 2.0, 1.0 in some instances. Housing in Balmung is super competitive to the point that APARTMENTS are full. This is a thriving server.
The current state of Ul'dah /sh and Balmung QS is not due to the Balmung oldguard - it is comprised of Wanderers and now Travellers who look for other horny people to get off with. Mateus suffers from something similar, but it's less prevalent
@DuelingPokemon
@anko_bun
He's been pulling up screenshots of older FF games whenever he encounters a homage or reference, like when he stepped into Matoya's Cave for the first time. I think he's definitely enjoying himself.
So wanderers and level 1 alts populated the Quicksand and changed its vibe from a place where people could go for general RP, to whatever the fuck it is now - people afking naked sharing m*re codes I guess. Previously, a lot of the /say chat in the QS and Pearl Lane would be RP
Note I say roleplaying, FCs were used to facilitate plots and storylines in some seriously long campaign within the scope of the game. Some spilloff occured in places like Jenova when it came to housing. Yes there was ERP, but there were protocols and etiquette.
The first problem came with world travel. Balmung had no shortage of all kinds of RP, ERP included so the Quicksand and Pearl Lane became flooded with people thinking that Balmungites would jump at anyone who walked in with their genitals out (it was not true)
Let CN Fanfest have stuff, considering that they are subject to way more restrictions to play the same game (national ID numbers to even sign up for an account, wrangling with censors, arbitrary legal limits on spending that can be changed if the government sneezes)
In Balmung, you wouldn't really be ostracised for RPing in /say chat, and as long as you followed /y and /sh etiquette, it normally wasn't an issue. You had informal gatherings in places like Central Thanalan where Bloodsands style combat RP was codified and made popular.
This was not helped by content creators at the time, who mischaracterised the server at the time of the DC restructure, completely ignoring that a large contingent of raiders moved with Balmung instead of staying in Aether.
Looking at people's search info was important (Why a lot of roleplayers use WU/T to indicate that they'd like to RP)- as well as the roleplaying tag. Violating the IC/OOC divide was enough to get you pushed out by the wider community.
Mateus is largely more a roleplaying server than Balmung is currently, I say with a sigh because I never like saying that as a Balmungite. But you can find more gen RP in Mateus more easily than in Balmung.
However horny wanderers flooded in and it changed from general RP to ERP, with a lot of frustrated people. Nobody likes being harassed in or gawked in the middle of roleplaying, for NSFW content when you're focusing solely on sfw themes.
When I started playing the game in earnest, I actually started in Behemoth cause Balmung was full but my friends were always hovering over me. Hyperion has been by far, more explicit, and more uncomfortable to deal with with regards to RP than Balmung ever was.
