I'd be all on board with unified subscriptions if that's all they did. I'm genuinely very curious about FFXI, and love me some of that 'early MMOs' style crunch and weird, misplaced ambition.

I'm not curious enough to do another subscription, but god drat I'd jump at it in a heartbeat if it was the same subscription.

FFXI is one of those games that unless you have nostalgia or just really want to see early 2000s mmo design is better off just reading about from its heyday. For better or worse the spirit of how it was intended - by the original developers - to be played is long gone.

Been spending way more time on my house and I'm starting to absolutely love how it's coming together.

The top floor hasn't changed too much, just added some more bits and bobs.



The downstairs is where I've spent most of my time. I want this house in real life.

I wonder if it'd use the stuff from the cancelled mobile version.

They indicated wanting to bring back unified subscriptions during the 20th anniversary FAQ, so I wouldn't read too much into it.

Yeah, there's not much to say. The official post about the change is just about them changing who's actually handling the transmission and processing of your payment. The most notable part of it is the change in what payments won't be available going forward:

quote:

Unavailable Payment Methods: JCB, Carte Bleue, SEPA (Sofort)
Available Payment Methods: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, PayPal, Amazon Pay, Paysafecard
There are also some notices that there will likely be some changes in how the charges show up on statements, that previously allowed transactions may be declined and will need to be reverified and a suggestion to re-register your reoccurring payment once the change happens to prevent any failures if the current processor stops handling them for whatever reason.

Sounds like they've found a cheaper and/or better company to handle their payments. I'm not seeing any connection between that and a hypothetical FFXI subscription

There basically isn't, except that this is also something they'd have to do if they were doing that subscription unification that XI's team keeps talking about.

It mostly doesn't matter unless you're specifically Japanese or French, but I do think it's a positive from a bit of a UI experience just because their previous payment handler had a weird feel when doing mog station payments. It's hard to describe.

There's two! Crafting and Gathering take dye slightly differently, mostly in the color of the lapels and decoration.

It's weird that they lift gender restrictions from older seasonal event gear and then they release another gender-locked seasonal gear.

I guess I'd rather they do it like this, and give us two different outfits that might both someday get the gender lock removed, than give us just one outfit that drastically changes its look based your gender (especially because the outfits that do work like that are almost universally designed to show off a lot more skin on female characters).

Hmmm. Maybe they're not locked, but you only get the one set? That'd be weird, though, unless you can pick up the other set through a currency or something.

It’s possible those outfits had been designed ages ago. The Heavensturn armor we just got had first appeared in the game files a year or two ago before being removed again and only actually showing up and obtainable just now.

I do hope those Valentione outfits are unisex and that’s just some outdated labels.

I think the dataminers are saying that the modelling work's been done for making them unisex, but the game will refuse to let you wear the "wrong" one so they're genderlocked in practice, it's just that they could change that by flipping a flag.

Even if they are unisex you only get one set, so you'll have to wait for the Calamity Salvager to get the option to exchange outfits if you want to mix and match.

I would hope you'd be able to get the other set through currency but maybe not. I know that I have both the male and female versions of the set I got when BERT GOT ROBBED as Emissary of Love, and I know I didn't buy them with cash after the fact.

If you hover over the items in the announcement, they have the tooltips from the Lodestone game data. They're gender locked for sure. Extremely annoying.

Just finished off the ARR sightseeing logs! The timing on some of these is absolutely brutal thank god I had 2 days off and a well timed lunch break to really go at these.

Getting the rest should be a much more chill experience unless there's sonething out there worse than Kugane Tower... :ohdear:

Thanks! I'm super happy with how it's come along. And I'm only barely over 50% of my furnishing load inside, it's nuts. I still got plenty of room to fill the place out. Should probably put more work into the upstairs bar soon but I keep finding new wall stuff to decorate with downstairs. It's funny because I wouldn't typically call "fresh clean plantlife vibes" my typical aesthetic but I took the idea and ran with it and I love what I've done with it.

From what I can remember, there are a couple of annoying ones in HW zones (Western Coerthas bridge, Azys Lla where you have to drop into a cave). There's a small jump puzzle in Rhalgr's Reach but if you can do Kugane Tower then it shouldn't be a problem. Don't remember anything in ShB or EW being particularly notable.

Eventful day in Eorzea, today.

There was a wedding. Spudz & Ruby being the ones tying the knot this time.

Here, the cute couple enters the sanctum.


Oh, sorry. Here they are.


First serious injury of the night, 3 minutes after vows taken.


Then the lovely couple make their exit, mount their frighteningly large marriage chocobo, and fly off to slay an S-rank monster nearby in the Sylphwood. As is custom.

The new property owners of the FC are getting their places organized. I was invited to visit the House of Grem located in Ishgard, which was excitedly described in FC chat as "maximalist" in nature... and described by the surrounding neighbors as "a blight."

This is the right ward, but I wonder where it could be?



Oh! There it is. Eye-watering in its incandescence. Higher resolution. Though, I regret that I didn't better capture the fullness of the wondrous visual cacophony of the lawn fixtures.

There's even room in the basement for activities.


It's only proper to sign the book as you leave.


Thank you to everyone who let me be a part of their evening. I had a good time!

I can see my house from here!
