Final Fantasy XIV Hot Takes

[aveyond-dreams]

Modern day FFXI is easier to power through than the state of Eureka when it launched. All you need to do is talk to a few people to unlock open-world trusts, and just like that 90% of the headache of that game is resolved. You are then free to level wherever you wish, with an abundance of options for making money and getting new gear easily with Records of Eminence.

I've regularly gone back and forth to FFXI and even prior to the addition of trusts I had played it for several years as a solo RDM -> SMN player, but I only dedicated a half-hour's worth of time to Eureka when it launched. I could not stand how atrocious it was, and this is coming from someone who somehow managed to single-handedly grind out Carbuncle's Ruby and made the worldwide treck to unlock SMN/level it/fight and defeat my summons prior to all of FFXI's many player-friendly updates.

Thank you! While Dorothea is not my main, I did take the time to create a trust banner for her a while back. With Endwalker out I also updated some of my other alts' banners:





My main character however I choose to keep hidden, given the way arguments can go on the forums sometimes. Goodness knows that no matter how innocuous or rational someone's opinion is, there will be someone else who will take it issue with it.

How do you make those sigs? Would you be willing to share? I'm a bit interested in making one for myself. It's really pretty!

Of course! I will attach the background I use, I got in from the game by scaling the UI pretty large and taking a screenshot without the respective trust roles filled out and then erasing the blue background around them. For the fonts and job symbols, I got those from the following linked file, from this video.

I combined my background with their template along with screenshots with a gshade filter over them. The template will allow you to customize the text in your banner, but since it was originally made during Shadowbringers it has level 80 stuck as the background-the image I am posting has no level attached to it so you can edit that in as the level cap increases. Enjoy!

Here's a Hot Take for ya.

Your mom is a wonderful lady and I sincerely hope she's proud of the person you grew up to be.

Awww! That was sweet.

Your signatures are fantastic. Well done!

My hot take(s):

1. Sushi is the tastiest food ever and you are doing yourself a disservice if you've never tried it.

2. People naturally play better on a job they enjoy than a job that they don't. Therefore, never let someone tell you to play the latest meta job if you don't care for it. You'll never reach that job's full potential.
