Current You'd think after like 15 years I'd stop feeling like a fraud when writing posts but I still do which is both a statement on my self confidence and a compliment to how good my partners are as writers

Discord is great for socialization with your RP members. Discord is fucking dreadful for any meaningful RP unless you like character limits.
I'm enjoying ff 14. Playing through the Storm Blood expansion right now. I really like the story for Heavensward, but I have a hard time reccomending it to friends because the base game (A realm reborn) is so bad. It's like eating vegetables before moving onto desert, only instead of vegetables, it's a mess of a story where 90% of it feels like mandatory side quests and doesn't really matter. Fortunately the dungeons and everything else is pretty good.

Speaking as someone who's played very few MMKOs.


A Realm Reborn was a lot more forgivable back when it was all that the game had after the disaster that was 1.0. ARR had the monumental task of having to be good enough to make people forget the first go-round while also being an MMO worth subscribing to in an era of increased buy-to-play or free-to-play models. While the base game is fine, it's clear they were playing it super safe. It takes forever for the game to find a plot thread to follow and then it takes even longer for the game to do anything with the setup it introduces at like level 15.

The true issue with ARR is the post-game, pre-HS quests. Again, at the time they were a little more acceptable since the content was doled out in patches and the new trials and such were fresh challenges and all, but for new players the end of ARR plays out like a massive filler arc that only starts being interesting at the last hurdle.

FF14 is a weird game to get new people into just because of ARR's post-game since I can't suggest people buy a level skip but at the same time the game didn't really hit its stride in terms of narrative presentation and design until HS.

ARR needs a revamp or at the very least an Aetheryte outside the Waking Sands god dammit.
@Fabricant451Please dont respond to him as I punish him


Shit my bad, I'll edit.
@Fabricant451 Isn't it just the slightest touch ironic to feign offense over not being @'d and then not do it yourself?




I'm literally not responding to anything else you might've gone on to misinterpret because I moved on, I'm done with it, I wanna talk about video games - preferably good ones or ones people think are good or something to foster conversation.

Reserving Kaori Housako
I've never liked the Shenmue games but Shenmue 3 being basically a game released in 2019 but with the trappings of a Dreamcast era snoozefest is eternally fascinating to me. I'm sure Shenmue fans are getting exactly what they want from that game based on the videos I've seen.
I'm interested
On one hand, I can understand people being upset with the National Dex or if they believe that GameFreak are no good dirty liars or whatever for cutting the dex and then re-using models like game devs do; but on the other as someone who was never really into competitive Pokemon, I feel much more inspired/able to actually 'catch 'em all' than I would be if there were 800-something dudes scattered about. I'm a fairly casual Pokemon player, I catch my favorites and I catch new ones and regardless 90% of them stay in the box all game. I see every game as a new adventure, and I'm sorry for those who like to bring in their old teams but this was going to happen sooner or later - I just wish it was handled with a bit more...care?

Frankly I'm more inclined to try out competitive battling in SwSh than I ever have before because they made it easier to do the insane EV/IV training that crazy people do.
In regards to the new Pokemons: The type variety available in the game early on makes it really hard for me to just stick with a stable six. I suppose that's why they made it easier to swap Pokemon on the go
@ me next time

Also the only personal attacks I made about your roommate is his supposed sense of humor. If you wanna keep on misrepresenting my very obvious point of "if you haven't experienced something yourself, your opinion on it critically is about as useful as screen doors on a submarine" then we can go around the horn again, but frankly I'd rather get back to shitting on Hideo Kojima.
