me, thinking about this scene

hmm, maybe that’s roxas or xion? but the proportions look like an adult character model. who else could it be? it can’t be lea, because he’d have to be stupid and cocky enough to think he could endure a norting just to save saix

…god damn it, it’s lea

[hexaethylene]

I just spent way too long eyeing up the cloaked figure’s sleeves and comparing them to other images of Org members we’ve seen so far. Ah, the days when we learned to recognise individual Org members based solely off the design of their coat.

It’s not Lea because his sleeves are all wrong, likewise it’s not Demyx. Their coats are tighter at the forearms and flare nearer the wrists. I thought for a bit it might be Marluxia, but the sleeves are too long; his have some of his hands visible.

It might be Vexen. The body shape is wrong on the older design, but compare it to what we’ve seen of him in trailers already and it’s actually pretty close. The shoulders look about right and his sleeves do come down over his hands.

Or they could throw us a massive curveball and it’s Ienzo.

Looks like the standard changes required by EU GDPR regulations, to be honest. I’m surprised it’s taken this long.

[chouhesi]

I am mainly worried about the 3rd party stuff.

Alongside with the problems ads crate on the site and the close timeframe of update + ad problems it just sounds like they throw a bit too much data onto ad providers

[hexaethylene]

Yes but GDPR regulations just mean they’ve had to tell you they’re doing this. They’ve been doing this the entire time, and just didn’t have to tell you before. If you read what FR actually collects and why, it’s all perfectly legitimate uses.

They’ve not actually changed anything about their own practices.

When it comes to the third parties, they’ve given you where you need to go to opt out of them collecting your data from FR. Those advertisers have always collected that information too, which is exactly why GDPR was instated, but their collecting of it looks like it isn’t in FR’s control.

See this:

“ We have a legitimate interest in enabling third party ads and data collection on our sites and apps to help provide a more customized ad experience for our users and site visitors. Our reputable partners provide opt outs and other measures to protect your privacy. “

FR isn’t selling your information directly, but the advertisers on their site are doing what all advertisers across the internet do, which is collect information on you to better target you in future.

There is nothing FR can do, on their end, to protect your data any better, except remove adverts entirely and move to a paid user only model.

it’s like nomura was worried that i, specifically, wasn’t invested enough in kh3, so he personally came to my house and punched me in the crotch

It wasn’t until I read the tags on this post that I realised Vexen has pointy ears now.

We know y’all got that PSL: Pelagic Stingray Love! Three young pelagic stingrays have joined the rest of the Open Sea community. These open ocean pancakes are found around the world and are the only stingray that lives almost exclusively in the midwater, flap flapping after squid, crabs and jellies.

[dragonfeeding]

so anyway with all this argument over “rich” vs. “poor” players, i’m honestly wondering what the standard is! like, what actual…let’s say treasure/gems on hand amount constitutes, effectively, the middle class of FR

i’m super curious, please tell me: how much treasure/gems do you usually have on hand? how much have you ever had all at once? how do you usually make your dragon cash? what’s the most expensive thing you’ve ever bought on-site? & of course: how many roundsey tickets did you buy? why that amount?

to start things off, i like to keep at least 1-2mil treasure on me at once, and gem amounts vary, but 1500g is always nice to have kicking around. currently i have 35kg in the vault and ~4.6kg on hand, plus 4.5mil treasure - it’s a little over the most i’ve ever truly saved up. i make my money mostly from art & a leveling service. currently saving for a cog frog, with a light sprite (paid ~42kg) being the most i’ve ever spent on a single item! i bought 100 roundsey tickets, purely for funsies. gotta enter the first raffle.

[wrathful-reptile]

I have 1g and 9kT total.

I don’t know how I survive in this dragon economy, but my most expensive buys have all been skydancers, at most was 2.5kg

[luteia-fr]

I keep 500g and 500kt in the vault at all times in case something rare comes out and I need the cash Right Now. All at once, I obtained 2mil and 2kg, which was sheer determination. I usually go through my dailies and sell Baldwin stuff as well as fairgrounds, sometimes UMAs. Expensive thing was a WC scroll at 2kg pure. I bought 10 tickets because I’m not that invested in things. :O

[pumpkin-bread]

I don’t like talking about my current stock of funds but I’m fine with admitting that at this time it’s very, very low.

The most expensive item I ever bought was a skycat, which was 160kG.

I’ve also purchased a bone fiend which was a little more expensive, but partially in items. Each took me about a year to save for! And by save I mean, make accents as much as possible and grind like hell.

I bought 250 Roundsey tickets because I had some things sell coincidentally the day it opened and was like Yea OK

[grim-fr]

I have 45,000t and 63 Gems as of right now. I’d prefer to have 100kt on me at all times but I never actually lived up to that resolution lol I bought 20 Roundsey tickets this week The most treasure I ever made at once was 180kt My account is just under 5 years old lol

[nonehell]

I have about 95,000t and 700g currently. So Tempted to scatter Moneypit so that may not last long. 

The most expensive thing I ever bought was my Light Sprite. I don’t remember what I spent for it tbh. Over 40kg probably? 

That would also be the most money I’ve ever had at once, I paid a lump sum for the Light Sprite. 

I make my money mostly through coli. I bought 50 Roundsey tickets. 

[windforge]

@genonehell i wanna say it was 42kg?? idk it was a long time ago man lol

as for me, i have uhhhhh bout 100kt, 1500g, and 500k in the vault thanks to glitter and gloom. that’s how i earn money, as well as occasionally hawking old accents that no one really wants. and also regretting selling a lot of my older stuff earlier than i should have x.x

the most expensive thing i’ve uhhh bought? i think was a 6kg skin. thing i own is probably my sunchaser’s at this point. at one point i had like the aforementioned 42kg or smth, but as usual i pissed it away on stuff and regretti that. also helps that i’ve tried to quit this hellsite multiple times and thus gotten rid of many things. 

i bought exactly one roundsey ticket because the RNG hates me and I have my already frankly ridiculous money sink of choice, but exactly one ticket is just enough for lols. 

[not-a-lizard]

Currently at about 5Mt and 10kg. I’ll go down 1/5 that if I really have to, but this level is nice. The most expensive thing I’ve ever bought was a Bone Fiend for I think 130kg? That was back when I was playing WAY more intensely, and actually Coli-ing instead of just coasting on item sales. I have bought zero Roundsey tickets last round, and tbh probably won’t buy any this round either. Or maybe one ticket purely for fun. Certainly won’t ever try to buy a lot of tickets with the purpose of winning, unless one day it turns out that few enough people have bought tickets that the gamble is actually worth it based on the math.

[hexaethylene]

25milT and 15kG in my vault, which is about where I like to stay. The most expensive single thing I’ve ever bought was probably the Light Sprite for a million treasure back in the first year of the game. A couple of years ago I did a lair overhaul and bought nearly every dragon I owned genes and breed changes which set me back about 30kG and 25milT at the time.

I bought five roundsey tickets last time, and five this time. I mostly make money reselling items when my flight has dominance, and bolster it with exalting.

A dragon like this is proof that we need the flowerfalls to be offset so you can see multiple of them.

I don’t think I have words “right” enough to describe my feelings. Thanks to @crackedverbosity for commissioning me this artwork, for giving me free reign to do what I wanted and also for giving me some inner peace knowing that I’ve filled one of the holes that SE left.
