No mention of the fact that they play on the Calamari server?

I'm the lead trumpet player, playing loud and high is all I know how to do.

You know even the title in English can be interpreted ambiguously: "My recovery (from the work life that nearly destroyed me) as an MMO Junkie (which is far better but not ideal, until a cute romance blossoms from it which is Good)".

I've been meaning to get into FFXIV but I'll need a better machine that isn't a lovely run-down MBP.

Me, I just play it on my PS4. Which is a bit of a challenge for a Summoner, admittedly, but I think I’m doing OK.

Did you play on the official servers? playing at 1x/1x/1x must have been brutal.

It was. I think I ended up trying out a private server but it was too late, my soul was broken already, so I gave up. No game has been able to hold my attention for more than a couple of weeks after that. :negative:

If you played RO you probably appreciate a good hat.



FFXIV is one of the finest Hat Simulators this side of TF2.

The twist I appreciate is that he chooses not to mention anything. That lends a totally different reading of the plot compared to the standard "it cannot be that you are they, so i will not ask if you are they".

Man it needs to be next week now. Morioka's got guts to talk about playing MMOs in public. Also I just noticed that she appears to be the only character with white pupils.

I have to admit though that I was thinking for most of the episode that Sakurai was bordering on uncomfortably aggressive, and Koiwai was a ways past that.

The OP made it seem like there were a handful of characters that still haven't been introduced yet, so I figured there was a lot more to go.

Yes? Plenty of times, they're a married couple who play the game together.
