Some people can't help themselves etc. :3

Oh, snap! I didn't know they made 86 models. That's a good, if emotionally wrenching, anime; definitely recommend it.

but I never felt like the world was at stake in a story about the world being at stake.

I remarked on this to an FC mate early on. SE spoiled their own show by hyping Ishgard housing so much and so early. If they had said something along the lines of "A new housing zone will be coming with 6.1. It's already fully developed and waiting for the proper time to release." would have left things a lot more open to (mis)interpretation. The new zone could easily have been on the moon or a potential new world after the current was destroyed. Nope, unfortunately we got "Wow, we spent a boatload of effort making this new housing zone in Ishgard. By the way, that means you're going to save the world and live happily ever after, sorry for spoiling the story!".

I don't think I've ever seen someone from the forums ingame. Then again, my spatial awareness is shot to death.

I've only met two people from the forums, the first one even causing me to make an account because they made a skewed/wrong story about what happened in the tales of DF thread lmao
the other was that fall/winter/1 isn't a prime troll, they gamed hard so they got my comm lmao

I've met a handful of forum goers in-game, but with how busy things have become lately it's harder to spot specific faces in a crowd. I chat with a few people from the game on Discord, too, since datacentre travel isn't coming anytime soon so it's a good way to get around that.

Story's done, raid's done, and I'm back to work. More time for the forum!

I saw Sturm Churro a few times while flitting about during Endwalkers. That's the first time other than befriending Moose that I've really even seen someone from the forum in game lol.

Working on the combat role quests currently. I just have Ranged and Healer left. My MCH hit 87 last night before holiday family stuff and work. So far my favorite role quest has been the melee DPS one. I've done that, tank, and caster.

Yes, I remember. Over in Old Sharlayan. I think we were both doing some of the sidequests in town. It just so happened we were on the same one.

I'm back to the usual forgetting there even are role quests. I'll have to get around to doing them, I wouldn't mind being able to dye more of those sets.

I waved at Sturm Churro, she said, "Small world." I said, "Yeah, it really is." This was the extent of our interaction lol.

I think if we were able to interact in game regularly, forum dispute wouldn't be at the fore front of our minds. We'd just occasionally run experts and roulettes together, and talk about random [..] like we do in this thread.

I almost never discuss lore in game or make arguments about the particulars of the game's plot unless it's just naturally generated by a conversation in LS chat lol.

That's because it really is! To think at that moment we would both be doing the same sidequest(s), and I usually put off doing them until much later. I am very quiet in-game. I do have my talkative streaks though, like yesterday where I was fully explaining the mechanics of the fourth recent raid after being asked - which resulted in a clean clear, by the way.

That is pretty much what I would do, actually just play the game for the most part, if I saw other regulars of the forum. I mean, I've seen a few others before like in Bozja, and have even been messaged in-game by some. It's usually just a cordial exchange, maybe an emote or two, and back to the game. If someone wants to start a conversation about something, by all means, I can chat for hours.

I don‘t think I‘ve encountered any people from the forum yet - but then again I can walk through the city and walk by right next to somebody I know without noticing them. Kind of a bad habit of me!

Perhaps one day we'll end up in the same roulette group together!

Hell yeah! I hope I‘ll notice you

Haven't seen it. As for the models, looking on Big Bad Toy Store, there are a bunch of spider tanks with different weapons and a kit of who I assume is the female lead.

Not sure if anyone brought this up, but I had no idea of what Soken was going through. I've always admired his work on this game, there are a lot of tracks that I'm so happy to hear when I'm in my fc house come on the orchestrion, and as it turns out, a few of them were ones he was working on from bed.

Just endears the dev team all the more to me.
