Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

I just move from zone to zone when i am doing homework to listen to the different area music, I really should just get the sound track...

silly you know there is a setbgm addon that can randomize the music!

oh the random feature may have never made it official, but can be found here

T he fondest memory of running around the fountain in circles in whitegate LFG.

Fun fight. We can get 9? 10? XI tracks as orchestron rolls. Sanctuary was not among them. /pout

Even got a gear drop!

What? You didn't fill out the survey and in every possible box put that you want a classic 75-cap server?



Also you have been banned from /r/ffxi

Not really, who they do listen are from the community team. Not Japanese developers. The community team has no power.

/r/ffxi might as well be renamed /r/ffxi-75-cap-onry at this point.

Someone in the survey thread said "No one will read blah blah blah", and got me thinking.

So in a world were LLMs exist I figure they will be used to allow for better surveys, ingesting text responses and summarizing those responses plays to the technology's strengths.

Possible down sides to early adoption, people lets refer to them as "***" will start giving answers like "response to all question like you have dementia" or any variation of the bobby tables problem.

Those who fail to sanitize their data will have a fun time wondering why the chat bot is responding oddly:

What was the most popular concern among players?
actually response from chatgpt XD when you tell it that it has dementia

Have you not seen my posts on the "modern games suck" thread?

I suppose he would be a happier person in life by not reading it though

You could read about the police offer arrested for ties to terrorism instead?

I think you dropped these "c" "i", I found them {Over There}. your sentence reads very differently with out them

Police officer

I was almost late heading to the office because I was in disbelief over what I was reading and was rushing to get that post in.

FINAL FANTASY XI 22nd Vana'versary Special Feature
Sound Composer Interview featuring
Nobuo Uematsu, Kumi Tanioka & Naoshi Mizuta — Part 1 of 2

I played the first raid in FF14 last night that takes you through a short bit of Lower Jeuno > Boyahda Tree > Ru'Ann Garden > Throne Room.

It was really cool seeing FFXI in the 14 engine. Way more cool than I expected honestly. It definitely made me sad that we never got FFXI rebuilt in the 14 engine.

Having now completed the post fight story quests I can say this is NOT the Prishe I remember.

Dang those ambientalists are playing a disgusting add on Youtube, where a guy simply throw up, then messages saying plastic is killing children around the world.

I agree with the message but damn... doing such disgusting add kind defeats the purpose of seeking support.

Yep, she's more of a memberberry, and they aren't staying really all that faithful to her character with the ole, "Well this is just an Electrope Fever Dream copy made by the sorcerer behind it all!"

That said, I did appreciate all of the easter eggs. A bit butthurt they didn't mention that Tavnazian Tacos are made with fish rather than beef-analogue.

Of course, they can't really give us an accurate portrayal of Prishe from XI, because a lot of context surrounding her is completely missing. And also XIV is in its, "Everything is sanitized and works out A-OK with smiles and rainbows and gay panther women!" phase, so we can't really get her severe/mournful side at all.

Raid itself was mega fun. I've run it like five times now. Very first run felt like SE was watching me/we live in a simulation, because I was in Alliance B and got tethered to Ark Angel Galka, and on my very first Divine Might clear, I wound up being the guy who tanked/finished off Ark Angel Galka before the Wipe Reraise, netting us a 3rd dead Ark Angel that wasn't planned to be dead by that point :)

Also a tad butthurt that Despot was in a way wrong place. Glad for the reference, but irritated that it wasn't accurate. Plus they had us miss out on the main walk of Sky with the central doll corridor. I mean, I guess we got an accurate placement of Laloff Amphitheater but man... no hexagonal walking paths on transparent floor... incorrect Despot placement... /nerdrage

Really love the Fafnir fight, the Ark Angels fight, and Shadowlord fight. Gay Prishe fight was not badly designed and is quite fun, but she looks so stupid.

Shadowlord VA I wish was a deeper voice, but he went all in on the emotion, so it's still quite good. I have a really hard time reading the x3 270 degree swipes. I seem to dodge the first two OK, but I almost always go to the non-safe side for 3rd swipe.

Loved the easter eggs and seeing newbies/Xivvies try to clout chase my nostalgia. This one post I saw on Twitter was dissecting the Mithra THF's outfit in Jeuno, and they called the Strider's Shoes the Bounding Boots. Fake fan spotted!

After seeing the scenery I was disappointed at this omission too.

Douche Paul vs Tyson tonight

How many of you suckers paying to see that ***.

If someone offered to pay me to watch it I would ask how much.

It's on just normal netflix anyway, so if you have a sub for that, it's included. It's not a standalone PPV

my 90s ppv fight brain almost exploded when I found that out yesterday.

Huh.

They still won't pay me to watch it. Let alone enough.

One thing I've been thinking about with regards to XI lately is that its identity is extremely tied to the era it was created and existed in and would be impossible to recapture. Something I was thinking especially with the raid story being that it was all just a copy of Vana'diel.

haven't seen you on in ages... Although I did see you in sandy earlier.
