FFXIV Confessions

The tails on the Miqo'te annoy me. Whenever I see one I just want to pull it or cut it off. The same was true for the Mithra in FFXI.

I'm sorry. I'm sure all of you who play a Miqo'te are wonderful people. I just don't like the tail for some reason.

Does this go for all tail varieties or just certain ones? I really dislike male miqo'te tails as it has a really weird bend in it. It's worse when they have a short tail.

I never noticed a difference! Whenever I see one I look away in disgust. Maybe that's an exaggeration but I actually never noticed a difference in tails. I saw a miqo'te in Sangoli Desert a day or two ago mining ore. The character had a male's name and I thought, "Hmm interesting name for a female" not realizing at the time that the race can also be male. I didn't look long at the tail though as I didn't want to seem creepy. I did want to introduce my pickaxe to his tail, though, but managed to control myself.

Unlike Saiyans, cutting off a Miqo'te's tail just sends them into a rage that can destroy a planet... >.>

I know that feeling! Thats almost exactly how i feel every time i see one of you lalas lurking around. But i try not to turn away, because we all know thats when you greedy soulless monsters attack.

I have tiny crushes on good looking Female Elezens and midlanders. I dunno why... but if I could squeeze hug all of them I would. Veira I'm starting to warm up too but it depends on how they are made.

I haven't seen a doctor, but I am kind of scared I have a retinal tear in my right eye. Maybe not, maybe it's something minor, my eye has been sore for the past few days, when I resubbed to FFXIV a couple days ago, and started playing again, this game, out of everything I do has been giving me the worst eye pain. I did a Copied Factory run, the other day, all the small movements with my eye, looking around the screen, people to heal etc. my eye has been killing me. Still healing anyway, but I can only play for short-mid periods, and not high intensity without getting eye pain. Actually, I still get eye pain, it's just not as bad when I am not moving my eyes around too much.

Kind of sucks. Hard to heal while in pain.

I've never heard of pain associated with a retinal tear or even a detachment. If you do some Google searches you'll see that pain isn't a symptom. My dad had retinal tears and had no pain. I had a partial retinal detachment years ago and had to have surgery where they cut open my eye. The pain after that was excruciating for a few weeks even with prescription pain meds.

If you had tears you'd see changes in your vision that you hadn't seen days earlier, such as flashes of light or dark areas. If you had a partial detachment you'd see a dark area that keeps getting larger, blocking your vision within days if you don't do anything about it.

Sounds to me like you have something very different. If you aren't staring at the screen for a few days does the pain lessen?

I have seen flashes of light, no vision loss however, just very sore, and bloodshot on the sides of the eye. I really hope it isn't a tear.

Well the pain just started a few days ago, but it got progressively worse after like the second day. Rather, It started out, like discomfort, then after about two days it became sore, and the more I stare at the screen and move my eyes the more it hurts. Anything I actually do with my right eye hurts, but FFXIV in particular gives me the worst eye pain, and the quickest to get to that point. For example, I can watch a tv show, or play a game like Warhammer 2 Total War, and play that for hours until it ends up actually really hurting. Playing this game, it hits me within 30 minutes to an hour. Especially when I am doing something like Copied Factory. I still remember exactly where I was, I was on copied factory, last boss, healing on my whm, and all the movement, and players getting hit by things all over the map just killed me. I had to cup my right eye with my left hand, or try to keep it closed to lessen the pain. I was effectively playing with only one eye.

I'm no doctor or medical student, I suppose it could be a hemorrhage, or allergies, sinus infection, I don't know. It just really sucks, I resub to this game, and I can't even really play it. When I go to sleep, and wake up, the eye pain is very much lessened, until I start using my right eye again.

Sounds like it might be anything from eye strain to an infection. Could even just be a bit of grit you need to wash out. Whatever it is, you need to get yourself to a doctor pronto and get assistance. If you need to wait for a doctor to become available, consider reducing or avoiding screens of any sort altogether (take it easy and listen to an audiobook, using a gentle, warm cloth compress on your eye (but ensure you boil wash it afterwards in case of infection). If it's sunny outside, consider sunglasses. Hope it gets well for you soon.
