i thought rps was on the better side of game sites but the article reads like he got paid by square enix to go to this thing and responded by acting like a patronizing alien who had never heard of mmos, fantasy, or human enjoyment of things. it's bonkers

RPS is all based on contributors, now they spam out 4-5 "Guides" for new games and their articles are kinda eh?

Like anything a good institution can become bad if a lot of the people change

"Oh, it must be to a player that passed away" is a reasonable first assumption to make on seeing a candlelit shrine at a fan gathering. The article is saying he first thought that for all of 10 seconds until he asked someone who explained, not that it's actually true.

I don't see what the fuss is about, it's a reasonable outside looking in report. The worst evil it does is make fanfest sound very earnest and nerdy. Which I'm pretty sure it was.

Honestly, I thought it was extremely tasteless given the general tone of the article. I may be too cynical about it but I don't get the vibes the writer was being nice, he was just covering his impressions with sugar. I mean, "cult-like" if it wasn't so geeky, seriously? Person is being paid to go to an MMO fanfest and knows who Vile Rat was, I don't buy that you get to do that, spend a good chunk of the QA inquiring about ERP, and then act naive because you're just so filled with wonders of this strange but mysterious nerdy world.

I'll echo the impression that others had. I don't buy for a single second that the writer had any good intention and that naiveté-filled outsider view reads like an excuse for heavily sugar-coated condescension.

That RPS article was lovely, I'm irritated he wasted a bunch of Q&A time asking DID YOU KNOW THERE ARE HORNY PEOPLE ON YOUR GAME?, but I'm a lot more irritated that RPS, a publication that purports to commit journalism, gets this pass to fan fest and uses it to send a bewildered nonfan who doesn't give a poo poo about final fantasy generally or this game in particular.6

Just gotta keep walking down that road.
There was also this reddit post which isn't very flattering:

quote:

He interviewed my wife - the Tsukuyomi cosplayer who ended up getting Judge's Choice - about her cosplay with this fake friendly demeanor, knowing that he was planning to use it as "evidence" for his quaint hot take. Then, he classifies her and the other cosplayers' hard work as "foam peacocks." That pissed us off the most. He only revealed he was from RPS after the fact, so +1 integrity point there too.

He also wrote a weird insinuation about how event was "designed to tickle the emotions of exactly the kind of person who is willing to fly to Las Vegas and dress up as a moon goddess" - like... what is that supposed to mean? We interpreted it as mocking her after she was gracious enough to give him a minute of her time during a busy day of checking in, etc.

Oh, and for the record, we drove.

SE used money out of the FF14 budget to pay this guy to come to fanfest, so really, everyone who is still buying junk off the cash shop and actively has a sub paid him and make a mockery out of your game and community.

(yes it's just a full set dyed, it looks really cool though ok back to lurking!)

what gear is this?

Questions:
1. I have 2 jobs at 60 and all the other non magic classes/jobs at 20-59. is Palace of the Dead still the fastest way to level up lower level stuff? I want to catch up on the story before finally getting to the rest of HW/all of SB that I haven't played yet.

2. has someone aggregated the entire FF14 story somewhere? My eyes glazed over experiencing it the first time and for some reason I feel like reading/watching a really long and detailed recap.

I am a bad who will be suggesting the Scions Adventurer outfit. works for nearly every class.

On that note, does anyone know of any really good female pants that go with the jacket? DRG is the one class I can't thematically justify wearing a miniskirt for.

Not the pants you're asking for, but I'm firmly of the opinion that the Long Plain Skirt look works for nearly any job.



With the right armor, it turns DRG into a Valkyrie, for instance.
