The sacred texts!






Wow... seriously though this book isn't just a meme.
These recipes really know what they're doing.

Mine came in yesterday too! I spent a good amount of time looking through it with the Mrs. and think I might use the recipes in it to make Thanksgiving dinner. There are some really good looking recipes in there.

Finally got my favorite demon back at my side after a couple days just grinding levels and macca out. Now to figure out what essences I'll need to grind for in order to give him a decent Almighty build. >>

One little thing I do enjoy for SMTV is the essence fusion system. Makes it slightly easier to build your demons how you want them, without having to go through a 6-stage fusion process for specific inheritances. That's still fun to do too, tbf, but I like having a secondary option that's more time-gated than money-gated.

The cookbook looks so cool, but with Christmas around the corner and my sister and I traditionally gifting each other stuff from our main fandoms, I don't want to risk buying it.

An understandable struggle.
If she doesn't gift it to you I hope you're able to nab a copy later.

Are the cookbooks on the website?

I got the alternate cookbook cover from GameStop.



Unrelated, but holy crap do I need to clean my keyboard.

I logged into the game the other day to check around, and wow.. I don't think I have ever seen so many people in all the hubs. I'm sure it's been like that for awhile, but it's quite different to actually see it for yourself. I have logged in several times the past few months, but I am mostly on my housing plot, and queue directly to the DF.

Are we ever going to see a character as based Pelinal Whitestrake in XIV? Probably not.

Kind of hard to have the Elder Scrolls version of Doom Guy but for elves in FFXIV :P

I was reading up on him due to this comment, as the Knights of the Nine expansion was something that my brain did not keep.

Reading it in a darker light, particularly after what that heart stone necromancer does in Solstheim in Skyrim, it's got me thinking maybe "Saint" Alessia wasn't such a good pure hearted girl after all (I mean she took a winged minotaur as her lover *ahem*). With his many aliases, he may have been basically a perfected version of what happens to General Falx Carius repeated on several dudes (all those alt names for him) until we got the one that rips off Umeril's wings.

Heart replacement is becoming a trend in Elder Scrolls.
