    What is your favorite pun/wordplay in the game?

    So the recent threads have been a little...negative to put it lightly so I thought, let's have a fun thread where we talk about everyone's favorite thing in the world...PUNS! And wordplay.

    There is a lot of wordplay in FFXIV, especially with the quest titles, things like Amalj'aa Wrong Places, Big Trouble in Little Ala Mhigo, To Siege or Not to Siege, and one of my favorites, Rock the Castrum.

    So I ask of you fellow forum goers...what is your favorite wordplaying, puntastic quest title, achievement, challenge log entry and so on?

    I like Rock the Castrum too, along with a lot of the achievements like I Like Big Fish and I Cannot Lie and most of the relic ones.

    Honestly though, most of the wordplay goes way over my head (or at best provokes hours of late night discussion in my FC about what on earth something is meant to reference). I'm especially not a huge fan of pop culture references as 99% of these pass me by, but It's Not Lupus (FATE name) got a lot of laughs in my group. Fifty Shades of Yellow is good too for how appropriately it matches the quest, even if the quest itself is annoying.

    It's Not Lupus made me gufaw, quite loudly. Then you find the monster is Cancer. But I get ya, sometimes I have to think or dig a little to find the reference at times.

    I'm guessing this has something to do with either Archers or Lancers. I'm betting Archers.

    Even after all these years my friend still obsesses over Sastasha with the Scurvy Dogs
    also there was some MCH quest, i forget what she said, something about the quest name for one of the turrets.

    Pretty sure that does not fit being a "pun" just a movie reference XD
