Off Topic Discussion Megathread

[MilkieTea]

I brought this up in another thread but the other language forums have this or something similar. I think it's high time we have a generic off-topic thread, this way megathreads such as the male-viera, fem-hroth, etc threads don't get derailed every few pages.

It won't fully prevent it, but if there's a space dedicated for discussions that would otherwise derail dedicated threads, I'm sure that'd help!

(PS I was gonna make this yesterday but. Spectrum internet. 'Nuff said.)

Other Language OT threads!
JP - Chat thread
FR - Free Talk
DE - Off Topic

I wasn't aware that the other language forums had something along these lines. That's neat and I fully support the effort to have one of our own over here!

Well, I am pretty sure off-topic discussion in FFXIV general is against the forum guidelines, so that may be why, but I digress.

I left links to the other (way more massive) OT threads in the OP. It's really interesting to see what others are talking about (even if it's through the scope of Google-Translate).

Heck, If the translation is correct, then the FR thread was likely inspired by a thread started over here that likely fell by the wayside years ago.

I read the rules, sounds like they mean derailing but worded it weirdly. TBH if they delete this thread then you have your answer, but for now it’s a good place to consolidate lively discussions that would otherwise derail other topics.

Well, I am pretty sure it says so right here:

Wait... so then, how would I use a thread like this?

Woah! I cannot believe that! That's so cool. Glad to see this thread is still here. I might start posting in it actively then!

I guess we'll see how things go. On the official forums for other games that I play, such threads are typically tolerated because they're a good way at building a sense of community among the regular posters as well as a place for new posters to show up and feel part of something.

I'd even be inclined to suggest that this thread would be a good place for our community representatives to show up and engage with us!
