FINAL FANTASY XIV EVERCOLD (2027)

just for fun I tried to reconstruct the etymology of the twins name via exclusively looking at behindthename

Leveilleur- means The Watchman. it's just a french word (well, its smushing together an article and a noun, but you know what I mean)

Alphinaud- my best guess is ælf-, meaning elf, + -naud, which is a french version of -nold, which means ruler

Alisaie- fairly easy to interpret as a form of Alice, which comes from Adelaide, which means nobility. there's also the more modern french name Alizée, which appearently means trade wind. both are cute! the only name with -saie I could find is Elisaie from Biblical Greek, which is an alt version of Elisha, which means God Is My Salvation, but the -saie itself comes from -yasha, which means to save

Every time the Japanese treat Christian folklore with the same playfulness that westerners treat Nordic and Greek folklore, a hilariously appropriated angel gets its anime wings

sick of rants about how dumbed down the dungeons have gotten or, in one poorly-worded rant I have just commented on, too 'accessible'.

this is the first dungeon patch i've been able to run on my own in duty support since it became a thing, without having to go to duty finder because it's taken me 6543 tries to get through one of the bosses.

and don't even get me started on the trial - since barb, i haven't been able to get through a patch trial once without dying at least twice, until this last one. i loved it.

just because they're balancing the focus between hardcore raiders and the rest of us, doesn't mean you can't still enjoy it or feel like the game is 'ruined'

been a while since i went to my island, and i settled on a long-term look as well miss the long hair but honestly he looks so so good

[terramythos]

sorry im never going to be over the fact that ffxiv dragons are space aliens it's the funniest way anyone has handled dragons in a fantasy setting

[terramythos]

space aliens ☝️ whose planet was destroyed by space alien robots. It must be said

[terramythos]

only survived because one (1) guy went. hey guys this space robot shit is stupid they're gonna kick our ass. i'm leaving with exactly 7 of my eggs BYE. then just raw dog flew through space until he found a planet

[shipperwolf1]

then he met God and she was like "hey wanna live on my special planet and raise your kids here? In exchange for protecting it from [redacted]?"

And he was all "fuck yeah, thanks God"

And that's how ffxiv got dragons
