god they rly said 'ok you know that woman thats really heroic and kind but overall a mostly static character who's kind of too good to be true. what if we told a terrified sheltered self-sacrificial child that she has to live up to that or her whole world blows up'

every time someone in endwalker gets to a new dungeon and asks the group to run it they spoiler the name and every time i (dumbass) click the spoiler out of habit but it doesnt matter bc every dungeon name is like 'squeeble's precipice' like what am i even supposed to get from that

the ascians have me thinking about voice acting of all things. why are their voices nasally. what is a nasally voice used to imply about a character. because maybe in this instance it doesnt mean anything but i know in some cases it does

i no longer hate estinien and i think him showing up at the most random times is funny i just. i do think i'll always be a little 😒 at how he treats alphinaud like whyyy are you modeling terrible thought patterns for this kid that looks up to you and is mocked by everyone around him constantly

(posting from work) theyre trying to make 'ai can speed up your workflow' sound enticing but whenever ppl actually start explaining what it takes to avoid bad results it just sounds like its basically as inefficient as training an undergrad to do your work for you. and ppl hate doing that

at this rate ill be playing 24/7 by friday (i think this was a little long today, its just so hard to stop playing msq without going 'well one more quest wouldnt hurt...')

need to run code on my laptop all day which means i might genuinely not be able to use it for anything else and might as well get on final fantasy. ohhhh noooo

i need to draw our group at some point i really thought i'd be one of the people making wols with giant wings and flashy weapons and edgy outfits but now that im starting to get a wardrobe outside of basic dungeon gear im like waittt you know what would go hard. plain white rumpled tank top

i wonder if the crystal towers function like mega aetherytes between worlds

jay | ffxiv 5.0 NO SPOILERS PLS @piromantic.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

i am wondering if it would be worth it to stream shadowbringers on twitch instead of through discord, partially because someone in our group is still at the beginning of stormblood, partially because i feel like im going to want to yap a lot and that can get distracting in vc

jay | ffxiv 5.0 NO SPOILERS PLS @piromantic.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

ok what are my other takeaways from stormblood before i jump into shadowbringers (i just did the first quest and met that guy in the forest and then stopped)

the worst part about tswift's music getting worse is that now i have to see engagement bait thats like 'if she released [song pre-2020] now you all wouldve crucified her!!!' and its like. well you see. the reason she doesnt listen to criticism anymore is because people did in fact do that

this whole conference has been so wild in really small ways idk how to explain. its weird and kinda funny seeing your advisors that youve only witnessed in formal teaching/guidance roles argue with each other like woahhh wait you guys disagree with each other? you DONT know everything? woah.....

the bright side of sayolara's ending being disappointing is that not only did it fail in a way thats actually interesting to discuss for once but i've been seeing so many translated tweets also complaining about the ending and its kinda cool to see everyone coming together to dunk on the same thing
