The tools of a hero mean nothing without a solid core.


Kugane Roe, red guy with a big moustache. "Screw ethics I have money" sort of character. Hired mercenaries and Yojimbo to try and take Kugane castle, hired Nazaa Jaab to "obtain" some treasures from the Stormblood Beast Tribes, tried to force Martyn to sell the Blue Mage coliseum (then again, who hasn't), and runs the latest CC arena.

Not to be confused with Akebono, pale Kugane hyur with a big moustache, "screw ethics I have money" attitude who hired Yojimbo in Hildibrand. Completely different guy.

wtf are tree people

Sephirot is a tree god who was worshiped by tree people in Mericydia, that's about all we know about them.

Perhaps worth bringing up, weren't FFXI's roe and/or lala equivalents literal plant people? We haven't had many plant people in the series but I do remember hearing that once.

Well the trials just replay the trials, not the surrounding exposition from the quests you only do once and also happened 7 years ago

Yeah but the Sephirot fight has lots of tree imagery in it iirc, there's at least one big attack that summons trees and I swear there are tree adds but I might be mistaken.

You could just assume 'hippies' or 'hard Tolkein elves' from that, though, nothing visually says explicitly 'tree people' in that fight. I get missing that.

Especially since, as I recall, Sephirot's people are the only ones we don't literally see in the Warring Triad storyline.

I'm not the OP but at previous Fanfests we just talked about whatever showed up at the keynote in the main thread. It's not really spoilers, it's marketing material. Hell the NA Fanfest keynote is usually so sparse with detail there's barely anything to talk about.

My vibe would basically be 'use common sense'. It's unlikely we'll see a lot of spoiler-worthy stuff, but if we do, we move it to the spoiler chat.

Off the top of my head I feel like the only thing that'll really warrant spoiling, aside from maybe New Job Talk, might be the presence--or lack thereof--of Zero.

Galka were kinda cool. The lore is that when one of them was getting old they'd just wander up into the mountains and a kid Galka would wander back down a few weeks later.

I've been taking it real easy in FFXIV for the past few months, doing basically just the MSQ and solo stuff, so I didn't pay any attention to how the PLD rotation changed since I wasn't playing group content aside from the MSQ Trials. Imagine my surprise when, now that I've got the bug back and I'm looking to do my roulettes, I look it up and we use FoF and Req at the same time?!

My poor muscle memory... Guess I'll be spending some podcast/FanFest watching time on training dummies.

It's not overly surprising, since Pusheen is the sponsor for the Fanfest's quiet room.

Which, first of all, amazing loving collab, that seems delightful, but also definitely reads as part of a larger thing, you wouldn't get a sponsor only for a quiet room.

But no! It will replace all player characters with 3D Pusheen-style models.

The delay is because Yoshi-P's too busy playing Tears of the Kingdom and nobody can get him to find a good point to save.

Legally speaking, they can't prove me wrong until they start the stream.
