Kinda...? it's a double negative word, usually accidentally used when the writer meant either regardless or irrespective.

Watch them simplify things to the point where there are two buttons.

One that is your dps button and the other is your two minute big boom.

To keep things exciting, they change each attack to a random cool animation.

God I hope this is still a joke in the future…

It's not actually a word. The "ir-" prefix isn't making it a double negative, it just has literally no meaning when attached to "regardless." It's like saying "can you rerepeat what you just said?"

Isn't that basicly what they did to SMN already?

It is a double negative, though. You're basically saying "not without regard," or more literally "not regardless" since the prefix means "not."

But "rerepeat" would have a meaning...you say something once, you repeat it, and then you re-repeat it if you say it a third time...

re-repeat would feel redundant, if you say something a 3rd time or more, you're just repeating yourself, not re-repeating yourself. Otherwise a 4th time would be re-re-repeating yourself, and so on. Then again, the re- prefix is weird in general, you could record something, and then re-record it for a second take and that doesn't feel as weird, but re-repeat just feels off to me. Even for recording, I probably feel more comfortable saying to record a second take rather than re-record a take. Re-record and re-repeat reads more like stuttering.

Either way, irregardless is redundant language, the -less suffix already does the job of the ir- prefix.

If only English was my 1st Language... Ahh!! ( Table-Flips Dictionary ) It's like double thinking when some words are just really foreign to me and I Google everything just to make sure. Gets worse with Game and Forum Acronyms that I never heard, seen or read XD

Scrupulous... Fluorescence... Convoluted...

I just want FFXIV to be fun again like it used to be in HW.

hw was unfun with a exploratory zone that was dogshit, two raid tiers that nearly killed the raid scene, and the very nature that "meta comps" were made near neccesary due to said killer raid tiers
DRK was mandatory , DRG + bard was too good, and ninja was too good esp with how enmity worked
AKA Monks int down was worthless, had no pierce synergy, and ninja took other melee slot, FU mnk
