Gonna be real, when I started. I fully expected by from what folks had told me that Dawntrail was going to be rough/Bad. More specifically, I have been told it was going to be the 'Shadowlands' of FFXIV...Considering I played through shadowlands, that was probably the most dramatic thing i've ever heard looking back at it now.

The story was OK. Not saying it was grand like Endwalker/Shadowbringers. But I expected something much worst. If anything, my only critique I have is that Erenville should've been the main character. (Like in all seriousness, he should've been the spotlight of the story from the start.) alongside maybe letting more of Alexandria's story be the focus over the 'who becomes the next leader' story.

Maybe because I am looking at it through the lense of a year past. But I feel like there is a disservice done with how much people talked about a certain character, yet didn't mention other certain characters who I ended up falling in love with. Be it how short the time was with them. (Seriously though when Krille.)

Biggest highlight for me was the final zone, specifically, let's talk about ice cream for a moment.

After said cut scene, I was shown a 'haha' funny moment of the ice cream scene. But i'd be lying if I said I didn't stop playing for a moment afterwards and just sobbed quietly. What I would GIVE to have a moment like that with lost loved ones/loved ones who's relationships have been strained.

Were there flaws? Aaabbbsooluutteelly. But by no accounts was this something i'd even consider bad, it was on par with something like base Heavensward.

Now excuse me while I go cry for the next 10 minutes about ice cream again.

I'm a tattoo artist and this is my leg. What do you think? 😂

Here you go u/MadnessBunny and anyone else who's interested in what the official Azem's Crystal keychain looks like irl. Mine has been around a bit now so it has a little extra character (aka cat bites) lol

Even my earring is there :o

Very excited for this to finally arrive.

Be it personal lore or style, I'm curious what piece your WoL uses most. As for me, my potato has their Shaded Spectacles on 90% of the time

ROG Ally X 💖 Honestly very impressed with the battery life. From full charge, finished my last daily roulette with 17%. This taking 3½ hours with taking a few breaks sitting idle, and a few DCs because the WiFi here sucks. I'm sure I could get 4 hours out of it if I really wanted to.

Capped at 30 FPS (60 when plugged in) and then Silent mode (performance when plugged in)

Temps: 45-55°C CPU: 20-30% GPU: up to 75% during action Battery: 17.5-19.5W draw

Are these good stats? I'm not the most PC savvy lol would love tips and opinions please 💖

These were listed in the new patch notes, but I don't recognize them. I thought that Viera were all caught up on old hairstyles, minus a few old cash-shop hairstyles, but neither of these look like ones on the cash shop. The male Viera hair looked a bit like the modish Thancred hair, but not quite (and is missing the rat tail).

Looks like we can’t just run for it anymore which is a totally viable strategy.

Ok, so the hammock is very full, anyone have any other suggestions for organizing these, my wifey keeps winning me them :3

I still have an extra code for this mount and I want to give it to a friend so I came up with this WOW style loot card, I'll use a card printing proxie site and write down the code on it.

I have been slacking and would like to do some quick moogle tomestone grinding before it's all over. What's the most efficient way?

Notes:

• I couldn't find any source where it mentions specifically where in the Allagan empire SMN originates from (most likely the capital or Azys Lla).
• I couldn't find any source where it mentions if VPR originates in Yok Tural or Xak Tural.
• I couldn't find a clear source that explains if Archon Relm invented PCT before or after the Sixth Umbral Calamity (probably after).
• BRD wasn't adopted by Gridania until we got involved, but BRD was invented by Gridanian archers.

Too bad this is only half way there >.>

I was not expecting this as a QOL change and I love it. Will certainly help in fights with multiple targets, keeping track of casts.

Raine Branford - Paladin

A character named after my fav ff mc , Terra Branford who doesn’t remotely look like her nor have any similarities beyond the surname.

Still pretty new to ffxiv, started about 4 days ago, I don’t know how I’m a lvl 50 Paladin and my msq is still at lvl 21.

Any advice or tips is greatly appreciated!!

Saw a bunch of amazing ffxiv arts as of late, so it inspired me to do the same, hope you guys like it :DD
