If you've ever wondered wtf my problem with FFXIV even is, here's a 6 page google doc explaining that lol docs.google.com/document/d/1...

the idea of Bloober team remaking Rule of Rose has me feeling some kind of way... Please be something else. (Bad. It's bad. They will handle it with all the subtlety of a brick to the head.)

one of the meanest tricks FFXIV has pulled is convincing its playerbase that being able to level every class on 1 character is a GOOD thing, and not in fact an excuse for them to make leveling alts into a soul sucking trial that either costs you hundreds of hours or $50 + the current expac playtime

This explains a lot about the largely stagnant state of FFXIV tbh.

Thal @chimerabite.bsky.social · 05/12/2025

btw in the FFXIV forums of every language there is at least 1 multiple hundreds of pages thread of people upset bc the graphical "update" fundamentally changed how their characters look and they no longer enjoy their own character's appearance

i think it's a little surprising that people are Actually Upset about someone saying that games writing is subpar compared to literature, because it's true, and it's not even remotely insulting. Video games aren't made to be literature, they're made to be interactive experiences.

Thal @chimerabite.bsky.social · 25/10/2025

going to level with you, bsky, it does bother me to see SHf wholesale being accepted as a "feminist narrative" despite the fact that it's written by a man and all of its female characters' motivations revolve around the male cast. (Except the one girl that dies like 5 mins in, but lol)

I saw someone say that people need to go see it so Disney knows we want more Tron stuff, and frankly as a Tron fan I’m perfectly happy with the slop makers never making another piece of Tron themed slop ever again

i have no choice but to be the hater in the room and say that this legit sounds bad to me. No shade to the VA, I'm sure this is more of a direction issue, but this feels overacted to the point of comedy to my ears.

Sometimes I wonder how many cool, interesting gaming projects have been completely shot in the foot by someone at the top of the food chain, whether by intentional nixing like Prey 2 or just general bumblefuckery

Thal @chimerabite.bsky.social · 12/08/2025

The problem arises when the story quality dips beneath the already mid-tier level it was coasting along on, as we've seen with a sharp drop-off in playerbase. (I am a part of the drop-off after being subbed for 6 years straight so PLEASE do not tell me it's not happening.)

i admit i spend far too much time thinking about the state of FF in general; how SQEX seems to have forgotten how to make (and market) compelling single-player experiences; how every "mentee" of their former auteurs falls short of who they set out to emulate.

recently in WoW someone very kindly complimented my character’s art and inquired if I did commissions, and I was able to do a couple for them and their friend!! It was honestly such a lovely experience 😭 and the characters were so fun to draw! 🫶

I feel bad interacting w/people on WoW bc it’s like “ok if you enjoyed our RP I know you’re a shy lil guy but please consider adding me as a bnet friend bc otherwise you will never catch me in the same place on the same character at the same time again” I just leveled yet another alt. 😔

I recently had a fellow queer person essentially scold me for my opinion on DA:V’s writing bc they felt like if the writing had been more accommodating of the world setting/character’s canon lives, it would have “allowed transphobes to erase us.” I’m sorry but they are gonna do that regardless.
