A thing FF14 has sadly never understood is that if you plan a redemption arc you can't like, make the person you want to redeem fly so far over the murder curve that all sympathy for them evaporates!!!!! They need to be a TINY bit sympathetic at least!!!!

Sorry that I'm not posting about the end of democracy, which is currently happening, but my month started with the ceiling partially collapsing in my bedroom and needing to swiftly find a new apartment and arrange a move so I'm kinda low on Adult Spoons r/n

Maybe instead of demanding they change FF, those fans should get the fuck over it. Also me googling the Wuk Lamat actress thing led to a ton of Twitter results by Known Gaming Transphobes, but 2/3 down the page was this beautiful rejoinder:

Dawntrail has a woman central character played by a trans actress? They hate it. Stormblood was an expansion with many major woman characters? Common joke that it’s the “worst one.” FFX-2, FF13, FF13-2, Lightning Returns — all women-led, 13 games strongly queer, they hate those too.

Tiny part of me glad they got that out of their system instead of that shit showing up in 14, or showing up at that density in 14

There’s a very real part of me that thinks: you could have wrapped 14 after the coda that is Endwalker and started work on something brand new.

Unrelated rundown of Dawntrail MSQ: I liked it, I had fun, but the game’s lack of innovation or change is feeling stronger than ever. Individual moments — even “recurring” ones — felt good but very little happens that’s new!

Not a spoiler since they meet in Endwalker MSQ, but -- I am enjoying the teasing childhood friend dynamic between Wuk Lamat and Erenville Also it's kinda nice to be in a part of FF14's world where the WoL isn't an instant celebrity and is instead just some mass murderer Wuk Lamat's dragging along

It's interesting! A little more mobile than Black Mage, with more support/less raw damage. The big thing for me is gonna be figuring out when to throw things on the canvas in combat w/out the benefit of out-of-combat instant cast on them

FF14’s writing is not complicated or too sophisticated, but it knows when and how much to turn the trope knob just enough to hammer you, sometimes.

You can truly tell a racist fan who says a racist thing about your favorite IP to, in no small terms, shut the fuck up. You can just say, "fuck off with the racist shit." Elevating racist fuckery to ~controversy~ provides the exact legitimacy the lunchboxes saying it WANT but don't HAVE

I differ from Luke on the quality of the show (it's not great, but I find it enjoyably mid-tier) but this pull quote is absolutely, positively spot on
