    Found that Mountain Dew Fruit Quake from a couple pages back. Even the cashier gave it a second look.

    It's not bad. Kinda tastes like a milder Code Red.

    Same goes for that Flaming Cheetos Mountain Dew. Tastes like Code Red but the aftertaste is yeech.

    When you deal with human beings, never count on logic or consistency.

    Fluid like water. Smooth like silk. Pepperoni like pizza.

    Also Jaya died the same set and they made it a big deal, if he was truly gone forever I'd expect them to milk it much harder.
    Oh I don't think Teferi yeeting him into a window killed him in any way. That's just me being like "That guy fought the God Pharaoh Dragon three times and lived, and that guy fought Phyrexians before and even noped out of the whole war. How does their duel end? Yeet goes the cat."

    My main issue is that even if Elspeth found a cure, they're playing Ajani up way too hard. Not even Tamiyo has this much attention. And while it seems possible to cure Compleation, they still haven't focused on it whatsoever. They need to find a way to revert it in two sets, and next set's mostly just going to be focused on Elesh Norn and Urabrask. And given how they've dealt with plotlines before, I'm not so positive about them respecting their characters.

    ...unless Elspeth just figures out the cure on a whim at the last second. Wouldn't put it past them xD

    What I want: Elspeth to cure her old mentor, with all this clearly being played up for the friendship drama. After that Elspeth gets to take a deep breath.
    What I'm expecting: Elspeth to find the cure doesn't work as well as she thought and she has to kill her old mentor for drama.
    Either that, or Chandra going nutso because Ajani killed Jaya.

    And I'm not one for drama like that in the hands of inconsistent writers that haven't done a good job with their stories for a long while now. Because it can go poorly. And it has. They have plenty of characters to explore and ruin on accident. What even is the point of Teyo Verada or Kasmina? Kiora literally has no purpose anymore. Lukka's just Red Garruk. Ajani's just there to tug at the heartstrings because Elspeth is important. And while I hope the cure is used on him, I also don't want to see them waste characters for drama and motivation.

    Another issue that stems from this is that if she cures Ajani, they're going to have to deal with the fact that Ajani didn't fight the Compleation. It's stated specifically that he found a home that finally accepted him for what he was, and that he doesn't want people to fight, just be one big happy family. Even if he's cured, there's still going to be that side of him there.

    Well, you have places inspired by Yasumi Matsuno works, so Palace of the Dead and the Ivalice Raids. You also could argue Bozja's there to emulate the more war-torn areas. Otherwise, imagine traditional european medieval fantasy settings. Palaces, churches, battlefields and so on. Could also go for a brown approach like, places whose main colour tends to be a bit on the brown side.

    One thing I suggest is at least going to youtube to check up sone videos on the thing and take a decent feel for the aesthetic Matsuno and his team went for. Thankfully, FF14's team is inspired by his works, either directly (some worked in those projects) or indirectly (Yoshida's reason for joining Square Enix was to one day work with Matsuno). So quite a fair bit of the game can fit.

    Character-wise, his stuff doesn't stray too far from what you see in the Ivalice games and in-game Ivalice raids. Or you can go full Dragoon and emulate Ravness, best girl.

    What a fun time to get the flu.

    Got it Sunday while at work, felt it throughout the day, left a bit early, came home and checked temp to find a lovely 103F on the reading screen. Been sleeping most of yesterday, and today starts the sprints to the toilet.

    Joy. Beats having food poisoning though.

    Edit: almost forgot. I tried that Fruit Quake Mountain Dew. It...tastes like gumdrops but wrong. I couldn't finish the bottle and just ended up dumping the rest down a sink.

    Yeah I just got sick again myself. It was just a scratchy throat and a light cough....

    now I'm coughing like I'm dying and my voice is gone. At least the fever lasted only one day.

    What's worse is that now that I'm mostly over it, the ear pressure won't go away and it's driving me nuts.
