So this is a new Virus RP blog; it’s my first attempt at a DMMD muse, so I’d be extremely grateful if you guys could bear with me while I get used to the fandom. <3 On that note, could you give this post a quick like/reblog if you’d be alright with me checking out your blog/interacting with you?

I miss Erica. She hasn’t sent me a virus message in a while. I wonder if this means… that she didn’t feel our connection. Was it all… just a game to her?

Erica my love I’m sorry for not trying your browser game. :c

“reno-of-the-turks is one of my favorite rp blogs that ive seen! the mun seems lovely and they always answer asks so politely,and from the times i’ve spoken to them, they’ve been so kind and easy to talk to. their grasp on reno’s dialog and their way of writing emotions and descriptions flows and sounds so natural and i’ll definitely always admire them.”

OOC:

Hi everyone. If I could have your attention for just a minute I would be very grateful. shinra-rufus mun and I have known each other for about 11yrs, and 7 of those years we have been dating. I have been planning a very special day for November 1st, 2014 for some time now. I have been saving up, but recently lost my job.

I’ve started a gofundme event to help finish up the costs. Anything helps right now since I am between jobs. I just want the day to be special, since it has been a hard year for us.

Thank you.

Okay. Warning: There are opinions written here. I know, appalling.

Am I the only one not bothered about a) the playable cast of Final Fantasy XV being all-male, and b) Prompto’s new design?

The playable cast being male literally does not matter to me. I just saw someone on my dashboard saying that they refused to support the FF franchise any longer because of the male-dominated cast of XV. Just stop. If you’re going to stop supporting a generally brilliant, well-designed and beautiful set of games which are known for their in-depth characterization and wonderful storylines simply because one of the games has more male characters than female characters, why were you a fan in the first place?

Think about it. What first drew you to the FF games? The characters, the plots, the graphics, etcetc, right? Are you really going to refuse to support the games now that an installment happens to have a cast consisting mostly of males? Seriously?

It’s also a fact that a lot of FF game casts consist of mostly white playable characters. Did that bother you? Did you refuse to stop playing then?

Speaking as a female, I do not see how the gender of characters in one of the installments should affect your love of an entire franchise in any way. I understand why it would bother people — yes, it’d be nice to have a female playable character again — but not enough to stop supporting a thing you love!

Another argument I’ve seen is that two of the known female characters, Stella and Luna/the unnamed black-haired girl, look like identical twins due to “lazy designing”. Do they? Do they, really? Because I don’t see it.

How does this:

look anything like this?:

That is not “lazy designing”. One thing the FF franchise can not be accused of is lazy designing. Graphics have always been an extremely beloved part of the series, and I personally find them to be absolutely gorgeous.

As for Prompto’s hairstyle; yeah, his old design looked great, people thought he was ‘hot’, yada yada. But here’s the thing; why the hell does his hairstyle matter? Does it affect the gameplay? Does it affect the story? Does it affect the characters’ personalites? Does it affect your enjoyment of the game overall? No! I am literally speechless at the fact that people are threatening not to buy the game and sending hateful letters to the designers over a character’s goddamn hairstyle. It’s fine to prefer his old design! It’s fine to dislike his new one! But for Gaia’s sake, don’t stop supporting a franchise and a company because of your preferences regarding a character’s hair.

Designs change. Characters are finalized. Games are developed. Get over it.

tl;dr: Don’t become a fan of something if you’re willing to stop supporting it over something as simple as a character’s hairstyle. Final Fantasy XV will not be perfect, and it will not please everyone — but what it will be is a stunning game with beautiful graphics, a detailed plot and fascinating characters — isn’t that enough?
