I'm so glad I picked bard, because WITHOUT EXCEPTION any time you sit down in a large group of people and bring out some drums and start slamming random notes people get excited and gather around and sometimes pull out their own drums too and it reminds me that there is still a reason to have online gamesLITERALLY MY FETISH posted:I dont remember rape being a huge part of ffxiv at any point in time. Lots of dumb dick joke puns, but not rape. I literally just finished a quest (The Little Ala Mihgan questline) where the Ala Mihgans get angry because a girl gets raped and says they all watched me and laughed during it and it kiiinda came out of nowhere

homeless snail posted:its what I would do if I was yoship Maybe they'll buff our potency to make up for it? Though Enochian no longer being a skill, if true, would be hella awesome and might be what returns me to blm... e: also the big early story instances I'm remembering is there's a quest in Ul'dah where you clearly have to rescue a woman from being raped, and then later on once you get to Mor Dhona there's another quest about someone who got raped.

As we get closer to the Live letter and as it's known that a bunch of people got to pre-play for the Media Tour (to be officially disclosed after the Live), there's going to be a lot more uncles working at Square Enix. Like this person's:

Hogama posted:FFXIV 2.0+ will forever exist in a weird time-warp of "five years after the calamity", no matter how many Heavensturn helmets the Warrior of Light collects. I mean... At least FFXIV treats everything between the start of the game and the current patch better than WoW ever did. FFXIV, you have a sense of progression and storytelling, where if you pay attention to hints dropped ahead of time, you get rewarded when your expectations are paid off. With WoW, you ignore everything, and burn your way to cap, then you play the latest patch without regard for anything that came before.

The Mueller Report style of those fake leaks made it more fun. I got a couple laughs out of it as my brain immediately filled in the blanks with naughty filtered words. Like a good Mad Lib back in the day.

all leaks should be true, at the same time red mage gets both dualcast raise and 300 second raise, but what they don't tell you is the 300 sec version doesn't apply weakness

somepartsareme posted:there's some uncomfortable casual jokes about it, like in literally the first dungeon and also some of the parts around garlean soldiers in ala mhigo. there's also yotsuyu's whole backstory and all It certainly comes up! The first dungeon has a lot of unfortunate implications given that Human Trafficking is the main money maker given for the pirates you’re fighting. It doesn’t help that some of the flavour text battle cries the trash mobs shout out includes “take the women alive,” and that there’s a slightly out of the way room that has a cage full of sad women huddled together sobbing. Most people don’t see that cage, but it’s definitely there! There’s the street fight with the merchant in Ul’dah shortly before Ifrit where the jerk merchant is accusing a young mother of stealing her groceries and that he’ll forgive her if she serves him and his men. Pretty obvious they don’t mean tea, but we beat him up to a nice song. I guess I’m not surprised that this one gets glosses over. The girl from Little Ala’mhigo all but says it. Literally, she comes crying to the leader of the town while you’re there and says everything but “and they raped me.” For this case I will say that in Stormblood there is a nice quest where you go back and escort settlers from Little Ala’mhigo back to their newly liberated country. This girl shows back up; she’s become a guard, and an excellent one at that, in honour of her friend that died in the 2.0 quest line. It was nice to see her come back and not have the rape be her only defining character trait, as I would expect such a character to wind up in most media. Personally I feel my expectations for how an MMO plot handles this subject is just bottomed out after WoW and all of its super uncomfortable dragon-rape crap.

I feel like it was a lot more of a problem in ARR and while Stormblood does bring up sexual violence it's mostly more appropriate? Like depicting it as another atrocity occupying colonial forces do seems fairly true to life and feels like an important thing to include to counter people agreeing with the Empire by reminding them of one of the many reasons imperialism is evil. Which people sadly had a hard time remembering.

One of the 50-60 SAM quests is about saving a young woman about to be forced into becoming a sex slave for the Brass Blades. Stormblood also has Arenvald or whatever his name is, the Scion with the white face paint, who tells you he's half Ala Mhigan, half Garlean because a Garlean soldier raped his mother.
