Magnai Fantasy XIV

I only got maybe half of the references, but man did they go crazy this year!

EDIT: And here's the developer blog post about it

I legit would play all of that

I just watched Ready Player One (fun movie btw) last night, and I thought I had enough with references, lol. I was just watching it, it's great!

Hope they make full versions and release those 8-bit tracks.

Usually these have like one or two lines of text, so it's not so bad, but this one has tons and I really feel like I'm missing out! Hopefully some kind soul (with a ton of spare time on their hands) puts out a translation.

kudos to "M", that was awesome ;w;

Pure gold :D

This is fantastic. Just like Tataru no Densetsu and Tactics Alexander, I want this to be a real thing.

This is the literal best thing and I'd play this so much. Omg

So much nostalgia! Especially loved the Secret of Mana, Final Fantasy Tactics, Final Fantasy 4 sections.

THAT ACTRAISER SECTION. <3

Well done SE, didn't think you'd go that far back into the Quintet/Enix playbook.

Dating sim as Magnai when

Oh my God I want this to be real. A lot of effort going into these April Fool's jokes this year. I couldn't even believe an Actraiser reference. My God I had that game when I was like...10. And Ogre Battle, same thing. Since this is just a joke, now I want to go play all of those games. Gonna have to bust out the Indiana jones sun staff and find that SNES.

Unlike seemingly most of the playerbase, I couldn't stand this NPC. Felt basically how most people did about the moogles in Churning Mists (and appropriately enough, I was fine with the moogles and couldn't see what got people so riled up about them)

He's saving his dere for his Nhaama. The rest of us just get the tsun.

Magnai's too funny but he'll end up with that Au Ra leader (the black mage one which hates him), their personalities would make for great soulmates. By the way this is great, so much creativity and work.

Shame I can’t read Japanese, I have no idea what’s going on.

It was how it was presented. The Moogles were quite literately not tactful about how they were getting the adventurer to do all their chores. They're a far cry from the FF6 moogles who came to the adventurer's rescue. These moogles, even during the moogle beast quests have to be drugged to do anything.

At any rate some of us got rather irritated at the moogles side quests because they were more like hide-and-seek than the fetch-and-retrieve quests done up to that point. I get changing up the ideas every so often, but really in an MMORPG you only have four types of quests: Kill something, Find/Gather something, Escort someone, or Conversation chain quests. All other quests tend to use one of these four as a basis. There are plenty of "hide-and-seek" quests in the game, but they're mostly relegated to the sightseeing log.

Like the kind of thing I'd want to see happen in an MMORPG is to actually make crafting something that isn't a pointless timesink. For that to work the game has to have a closed-loop economy, and unfortuately most P2W freemium games can't make money if they can't flood the game with junk. So for that, I'm at least glad that FFXIV isn't full of gachapon.

At first I didn't like him because he was arrogant, sexist, and I'd want to yank out his braids by the roots and shove them down his throat IRL...but then I started finding him funny because he is SUCH an homage to the typical desperate single (of either gender) that it's funny to watch him get turned down constantly. Call it schadenfreude. Like bro, calm down, go eat a pint of ice cream, and find yourself before you try to track down your soulmate. XD

I like him because he’s more or less supposed to be the stand in for genghis khan and he/his tribe could easily steal away any and all ladies he crushes on and yet he’s waiting for the clouds to part and angels to start singing when he meets ~the one~. Its over the top romcom pining clashing with warmongering tribal lifestyle, I can’t help but laugh whenever he >tfw no gf’s.

I really hope we get to play wingman in a side quest eventually lol

If we don't eventually get him and Sadu together, I'm going to be sorely disappointed.

He should get together with Hien. He seemed to enjoy the Buduga 'swarming' him after all, according to his own words.

Maybe its me, but that hairstyle would look so cool if it had a bang on it.
