ChatGPT rising

[Elissar]

Come on folks, less talking and more action



prompt: Today is 10th anniversary of Final Fantasy XIV. 10 years after the calamity that almost wiped the planet. Write a short but epic story remembering those days and making the player feels like someone that matters.


GPT: In the hushed halls of history, there exists a tale of defiance that transcends the ages – a saga of valor and rebirth that etches itself into the heart of Eorzea. Ten years have come to pass since the day the world teetered on the precipice of oblivion, as the Calamity unfurled its malevolent wings, casting darkness upon the realm.

The day dawned with a fiery embrace, as the realm shuddered under the weight of devastation. It was a day that shook the heavens and echoed with the cries of countless souls caught in the storm's merciless grasp. Amid the chaos and despair, a beacon of hope emerged – adventurers, united by destiny, rose from the ashes to wield their courage as a shield against the encroaching darkness.

Among them, one stood resolute – you, the Warrior of Light. A mere mortal imbued with extraordinary resolve, you embarked on a quest to defy fate itself. Through trials that would break the spirit of lesser beings, you stood unwavering, a symbol of Eorzea's undying spirit.

With every enemy vanquished, every bond forged, the chorus of hope grew louder. The realm began to mend its wounds, and the heart of the land pulsed once more with vitality. The Crystal Braves rallied under your banner, forging a path through danger, unlocking forbidden secrets, and rewriting the fate of Eorzea.

As the 10th anniversary of the Calamity arrives, the land stands transformed – reborn, reinvigorated, and ready to embrace the dawn of a new era. Echoes of your feats reverberate through the realm, reminding all of the power of unity and the resilience of the human spirit.

With each day that passes, you remain a beacon of light in a world still shadowed by the memory of that fateful calamity. Your name etched in the annals of time, a living testament to the unwavering courage that defied the darkness. In this tale of ten years past, you are not just a player; you are the embodiment of heroism, the very essence of Final Fantasy XIV's eternal legacy.

There's a great meme in the JP community that spawned from an incident at the FF14 10th anniversary fireworks show, and has been being used in JP to describe the current state of the game/event.

Lol, this is kinda like that whole debacle with the limited edition figurines that SE was selling a while ago. FFXIV fans were pissed at the poor quality of the expensive figurines.

Umm, do you know what the Phoenix is? You have to remember that there is alot of players has not gotten past ARR yet or never did Coils before. So nice try tho.

So make them do it then. Just make a version that doesn't wipe you. They made a whole quest about Louisoix but you don't even need to see how he finally died?

After what I had to go through with Endwalker's Collector Box and my broken statue, I vowed to never buy a physical CE from SE again. Not only was it of a lesser quality than they showed off at Fanfest, it was broken in about 3-4 different places. They sent me a replacement, but it took about 2 months of going back and forth with them to make it happen.

gathering petals.

I like how even ChatGPT mimicked the inanity of FF14 quests

no aonori, no red ginger, heck there isn't even any cabbage let alone any meat. just noodles and it doesn't even fill out the plastic dish it's in. i'd feel ripped off if i paid roughly seven dollars for that. might as well just go to the store and get the ingredients to make my own, probably be even cheaper if it's just the noodles and that amount. bet even just a store packaged bento would be cheaper than that.

also lol, i found the original twitter post and the op said they went back to the place and the price had gone up.

Lol, sometimes I wonder. At what point will players stop to think: "are we being taken advantage of?"

I didn't feel like this rising event was any less than the previous ones. They are usually never anything too wild and the only thing that might hint about upcoming content is the minstrel's song at the end, it's the only thing that ever has in the past.
