The 2026 Valentione's Day event featured a ridiculous minigame where you had to decorate cakes while evading marauding mammets muddled by moogle magic. Of course, given the finicky mechanics of mammets and the chaotic nature of moogle magics, Mammets and Moogles are a terrible combination. Which led to the following string of thoughts:

"Mammets and Moogles" sounds like it would make one heck of a tabletop RPG.

However, its existence would imply the existence of an in-universe Wizards of the Coast...

... And therefore an in-universe Hasbro, and we all know that's going to be an Ul'dahn Lalafell racket.

Of course, given the nature of Ul'dah, there is very little chance that any Ul'dahn game manufacturer would not straight up pull a Konami and eventually become nigh-exclusively a manufacturer of pachinko machines to also take a cut out of the gambling racket using their machines…

... Clearly, In-universe, pachinko machines were patented by and named after a Dunesfolk "entrepreneur" named Pachinko Yakuchinko.

Normally I am resolved not to feed the corporate greed daemons. But my resolve was profoundly tested by this glorious fuzzbeast and ultimately I… I caved. I just couldn't resist the floof. It was too much, even for me.

Frell it. We meow.

Does the fact I captured this image at the entrance to the Steel Vigil whilst wielding a cane bearing a blazing lantern make this image an instance of "Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girlboss"?
