What lore do you ignore?

[Wyssahtyn]

"Mountain Dew" isn't canon. A group of Hannish alchemists made an alchemical concoctions to tame a subspecies of zu. That's it. That's what's canon.

is that what was said? better than what i've been seeing repeated at least.

The description mentions a citrus taste, so the joke is very clearly 'they made Mountain Dew', but it's not actually saying that.

I'd recommend reading the description before complaining about the description. It's on the actual website for the promotion.

Probably been said already but definitely the line from The Watcher that explained that Hydaelyn sundered Zodiark, the star, and herself. It's not even a typo because all languages across the board say that Hydaelyn sundered herself. So why did Source Hydaelyn need to send Minfilia to the First to stop the flood? Shouldn't the First's reflection of Hydaelyn as a Primal of divine light be able to mitigate or even absorb the flood into herself? It's light aether after all and she's a light based primal.

You literally posted a thread exactly about this thing ten minutes after this post. You are very clearly not ignoring it.

My theory that a lot of people just use this thread to complain about lore they don't like, rather than say parts that they actually do ignore, continues to be proven right.

Personally, I ignore the Nier crossover because of how bat$#%* crazy it is, and the implications it has on the world.

That is to say, FF 14 exists in a realm where androids from an post-apocalyptic far far future Earth, somehow crashed/phased/something’d to a sub- “plane” of our world. And btw that apocalypse was caused by a time traveling dragon from an entirely different game which had a disease wiping out humans in yet another entirely different game.

Anyway, so somehow this time they brought chunks of a broken space station, a factory and uh…that tower… complete with problems/conflicts/enemies that were largely resolved previously.

And the Nier director says this is canon!?



In my brain, the WoL was partying with the dwarves and got a bad batch of hooch. Fever dreams. All fever dreams.

Maybe not a bad batch of hooch, but more so in trying to keep up with the dwarves in consumption.

Could be! Wild stuff happens when you guzzle tank gasoline!

If he wants to make it canon to his half of the crossover then good luck to him, but I refuse to acknowledge it as part of FFXIV's half.

I ignore the fact that self-respecting aether using gunbreakers would have to reload. I think it's a pasted in mechanic lorewise that has to be there because of Thancred. It's extremely clunky, unreliable. And I refuse to believe that an ancient job from a civilization that tanked the gunbatteries of the Allagans would stop for a reload break midbattle. Even the class mechanics DRAW aether to fill the cartridges up and you gain it midbattle. Even the lorebook has the gunbreakers use their own aether.

So I refuse to believe and vehemently ignore that ALL gunbreakers reload. I think it's for beginners and for people who can't use aether like Thancred.

None of it; I prefer to build an OC around the existing lore whether it works for a previous version of the OC or not (or what I already had in mind, anyway). If new lore negates or disproves my WOL's past or some other trait, I find a way to work it in, because external circumstances change people and my WOL isn't static. It's more immersive to me this way
