The new custom delivery memes are grossing out some...(Name Spoiler)

...but I'm gigglesnorting like a hyena. Reddit has just been a wealthy pool of Ameliance meme that has me at times needing a third hand to facepalm and run for the hills and sometimes just keep watching with unstoppable chuckling.

I hate you guys...and love you?! Smdh.

This one had me

See? This is quality meme right there. I'm deceased.

Soooo my age is probably showing, but there's something rather cringe about all the people chomping at the bit to lewd some middle-aged NPC. :X

I think I've become numb to this sort of thing after spending many, many years on the internet. I'm never surprised when this happens. If people can do it, they most certainly will.

It's adorable that you think it wasn't already happening even before it could happen in-game.

Just be happy she's not a Lala lol...
Tbh I'd rather people lewd a middle-aged NPC than the NPC's who are minors which happens quite a bit.

It's actually an upgrade.

I had hopes they wouldn't allow us to customize Alisaie's mom outfit, but I was disappointed.
The memes and screenshots of her in 2B attire are coming....

Dear Alisaie, and to blue Alisaie as well.
I shall honor you by not doing what the community does. I shall not dishonor your mom!

A rather large percentage of FF14's audience are people who grew up playing FF1-6, meaning we're currently basically Ameliance's age. So it's WAY less creepy than wanting to lewd Alisae.

Champing at the bit*

And I can't tell if you're saying its cringe because it's an NPC or because they're middle-aged. Not sure I understand the cringe about her being middle-aged. But an NPC in a video game? Sure, that I understand.

2B Outfit? Pssssh. That's for amateurs. True connoisseurs know it is Gold Saucer Bunny or bust.

Hey, TIL! Although in further reading, it appears that both versions have been accepted for quite a while (at least the 1910's), but "champing" is definitely the OG version.

Honestly, my comment was just a quick thought that wasn't very well fleshed out. I'm pretty certain I'm going to make this far worse with elaboration, but here we go! lol.

So for starters, the middle-aged thing was more a side note, but I will say that I've never really understood the mommy/daddy kinks. Maybe because I'm in my late 30's, so I'd have to be looking at someone who is 70+, and well, that's just not my jam. The bigger thing is the level of frothing that is going on over the chance to strip down an NPC. Like...this is really where it's at now? This is what gets your rocks off? I mean, sure, you do you....but really? This is what you choose to share with your gaming community?

Now, I'm assuming that most of the posts were just fluff, and that's all fine and dandy, but I think it hit a little too close to my actual opinion of the playerbase in general. I realize this is a gross generalization, but based on my experiences over the years, I've deemed the community to be rather cringe as a whole. lol. Between all the random /tells I've had over the years about my characters, those who have made anime & XIV their entire persona, people getting weird once they find out I'm female, and just the general chat you see in-game & online....it paints a questionable picture. Shoooot, almost forgot all the crap that gets posted in the NSFW channels of my discord groups. It's not even good stuff! :(

So there we go! I'm pretty sure this post will solidly put me in the camp of "old person angrily waiving their cane at the kids", but it is what it is. lol.

Am I squinting out of suspicion or because my old eyes ain't what they used to be? Yes.

It might not be to you but fun is subjective.
As someone that enjoys sexualized content I get this all the time that it's '' to get my rocks off '' and it's not really any deeper than that I just find it fun and/ or visually appealing like how people find anything else fun and visually appealing.
I really don't believe you'll find a lot of people who actually are doing that I think they can maybe just be quite loud but most people are just having fun.

I don't view sexuality as quite literally just being about sex or sexual acts.
It also tends to have a very '' hetero-normative male '' bias so to speak, where guys and non-conventional women can run around half-naked and be just as sexual and even more but it's not viewed as such and can even be viewed and accepted as cool or funny. But if a conventionally attractive woman does something even slightly so it's SEX and it can apparently never be about anything else.

Like to me I find the big muscle mountain dudebros or military LARP:ing to be cringe, but I don't give people shit for enjoying those types of characters and that type of content and I don't make assumptions about them and why they like what they like.
To me it'd be like assuming someone who loves FPS games is a gun nut and that's why.

I agree with you that the posts were probably just made for fun (I had just called it fluff!!) vs. expressing some true desire.

Totally tangential, but this just brought back an amusing conversation I had with a game-bud awhile back. So at some point previously I had told him that I needed to run as I had a playdate I had to go to. A month or so later, he had made some comment alluding to me having random hookups with people, and I was reaaally confused as I'm married, with a kid, and don't dabble on the side. Evidently he thought that when I mentioned my playdate, I was being coy about going to meet up with some guy vs. taking my son to a literal playdate. lol. I had thought everyone in my friend group knew my background, but guess not. ;p

But anyhoo, for me, it can get rather tiresome having mundane things turned sexual all the time. As far as the game is concerned, there have been several times when I've switched to a male character or lala specifically to avoid all the attention and weird /tells. For better or worse, past experiences have made me rather sensitive to that type of attention, and so I probably don't handle it the best. Like I'm all good with sexuality being on display and jokes about it, but when that attention is turned directly onto me, I start to panic. Not that I was taking the lewding of Ameliance personally. :p I think with her, it was more just the basic reaction of "oh it's female, she must be sexualized!".

I feel like I'm being judged for being judgy. Fair enough ;) But I would never call anyone out on their interests in person, or to their "face" in-game. I do generally run with the opinion of "you do you", as long as it's not affecting others negatively (I will have my silent opinions though). Howeeeever, if you put things out on a public forum, in the general section, a range of responses should be expected.

And now that I've probably killed off a fluff post, I'll concede that I was probably digging too deep into this, and will back away silently. :X

Honestly, I don’t blame those people lol, nor perceive this phenomena as something totally unexpected. She’s adorable, endearing, and overall such a likeable character. Not much qualities of her that would put me off, personally.

Lalas are not minors man.
They're just vertically challenged.
Hell, I don't think I've ever seen any child lala NPCs.
It's the players that keep treating lala as children.
PS: as for Ameliance, just because you shouldn't doesn't mean you can't :p

I felt this. It's probably just mostly because I'm only two to three years old than the twins so I sort of relate to how I think they'd feel on it a bit more. Like it just makes me imagine my mom in anything risque and... yeah no. I don't want to think about it. It's not something you want to see I feel either.

I vote for the clown hat from the last Halloween event and then emperor's new whatever in every other slot, though maybe some subligar or another for tradition's sake.

Can't wait for that graphic update ! :3

The memes are everywhere and while they were funny the first 10 times, now I just want to escape them.

Snip.

Local lala yells at cloud and kids.

Memes, huh? Well, i'll just put a relevant and appropriate meme here...

There are like, maybe two or three in Ul'dah but they share the same models as adult Lalas lol. Lore wise, growth stops at 10 years old as they reach max height. Must feel bad for teen Lalas when they reach max height at like 2-4ft whilst teen Hyurs, Roes, and Elezen are like 5-6ft lol.

I saw some joke PFs for the Copied Factory glam runs for Ameliance. Poor woman has no idea what's coming to her in the next couple of weeks

lol, if nothing else, I was able to help bring people together! That's gotta count for something, right??!

Honestly...I've got a hard enough time coming up with glams for myself, forget trying to glam the custom delivery NPCs.

The only NPC's I've glammed are Kai-Shirr cause the dude needed a suit in Eulmore and Charlemane I gave him the bouncy jello hat. Everyone I'm leaving alone cause I don't really see the point. But you do you fam; it's not like I'll see it anyway.

Yes, Thank-you! That's what most people seem to not understand the only player who'll see the Glamour on the NPC is the player, no one else, unless that player broadcasts or posts screenshots.

I thought it was a weird choice as well. She is so sweet and the mother of two of the main cast characters but people are going to make it weird.

I haven't bothered dressing up any of the custom delivery clients. I'm lazy.

She is lucky that I'm too lazy to go to the Alliance Raid and farm the outfit.
