Final Fantasy XIV - Kiwi Free Company

This makes the whole "I'm such a big fan" ring so hollow. I don't expect them to do well in savage or even do it at all but this is like, barebones bullshit. Even the Mtn Dew product placement did more
I don't expect someone to be an achievement hunter for them to act like they're a big fan, but other than being a legacy player, this is literally lower effort than a (low viewer) casual streamer i'm friends with.
She at least has an actual excuse for not doing savage, her internet and PC are too terrible to allow it. EX mount farming is an amazing excuse for viewer engagement, or bringing a FC/friendgroup together.

I wonder how many people have trooncat blacklisted ingame.

Funny thing is that Big Sippin does savage content and he even recently got married in game I hear.
Bro got himself a house, a static AND a bitch.

Big Sippin is goin places.

Tfw an employee for a soda brand you did 1 promotion with seems to be more into the game than the VA for the main character of the latest expansion.
 
Mounts: The only thing on here worth respecting is the Legacy Chocobo, and maybe the Cloud Mallow but i'm not sure if that got given away in a mogstone event for some retarded reason.
Cloud Mallow is from the moogle tribe quests, unless there's a special version I'm not aware of.

Yep.
I know that the ARR tribal mounts have been given away for Irregular Tomestones (Mogstones) during a few events, didn't want to go check if the HW ones also have. Turns out they haven't and I'm surprised that trooncat had the patience to go through the moogles' long questline and become Sworn with them.

Weird that they'd give away the ARR ones like that, I assumed mounts available on mogtome events were limited to RNG drops. All the ones I got were anyway, Fae Gwiber, one of the Kamuy, Gabriel, etc.
 
normally i find it exasperating that fantasy settings as of late have to ascribe to so much basis in reality
All of it ultimately draws from something or other, but some make more inspired tales with it. There's endless series about how something like Elden Ring basically plagiarizes every major religion's funerary rites, for example, and weaves it into something distinct.

Even on the topic of specifically latin-american-focused fantasy, Pillars of Eternity 2 had the idea to mash together the caribbean with blends from the age of colonialism, the grand age of piracy, and of all things imperial japan. As a game it has some (serious) flaws, but its setting isn't really one of them.
If anyone who queued for alliance raid roulette is under level 60, you end up there. If anyone neglected to pick up the other alliance raids, you end up there. Plus people are running it for MSQ or fast Loathsome Memories.
So, their fix was that to queue for AR roulette, you needed to have the highest IL equipped for the highest AR you could possibly do on the given job.

Thus, if you never unlock anything but CT, you never need to do anything but CT. I don't personally understand it at all, but I do believe that people would actively roll alts and specifically avoid unlocking later AR series... just to ensure they always hit CT for their daily roulette? I believe this is the big reason why it still occurs so often - the people who were forcing it have adjusted to continue to force it even after the "fix." Which seems like it could have been in an X.x patch rather than touted as a feature for an expansion launch, but I guess the team grasped their dire straits.
Gold, my friend, gold. I heard it from the first line - irrefutable proof that they absolutely fucked with this performance in post.

Maybe later on I'll get a good sample of some vocals without the BGM or SFX, but you should be able to see it here. In this reel, there are a lot of frequencies in the treble and bass range. They're totally, completely absent from the MSQ. But the bass curiously cuts off at around 150hz, and it still feels... how do I put it? There should be something there. I should hear something there. When I hear it, I hear something abruptly chopped off. I should add - yes, youtube compression is absolutely a thing. But it is not a thing in the sense of "the highs are left alone while the lows are completely crunched."

It's also weirdly panned. If you have noise-cancelling headphones, it's easier to hear. If not, you'll need a more-trained ear: a lot of it comes in on your right-center. The left-side just feels... idk, empty? Something is missing from it. But this doesn't suggest a frequency issue so much as a recording quality issue: a bad mic or (more likely) someone who was speaking into one side of the mic. If you want to really have it pointed out, listen to the above thirty seconds or so of audio, then listen to this. I'm working on something related to SH so I have it on the brain, but immediately you'll notice a far, far, far more full range.

Here's what's been in the Mogstone events.
The Falcon - This is pretty much the "Mogstone" Mount at this point. It was in a promotional campaign once.
Magitek Predator - Random drop in Ala Mhigo's final boss chest. I'm pretty sure it's the only mount that can drop from a dungeon.
Ixion - SE seems to love giving you other options to get it since its main acquisition method is to find a rare FATE twice and hope that someone has a map material that costs 100 gil on the marketboard.
Pegasus - 4.2k Skybuilders' Scrips, previously a turnin for 99 Sky Pirate Spoils. Also it's untradeable.
Tyrannosaur - Anemos Lockboxes (Untradeable). Getting it is a joke, if you've done a NM train they'll be vendor trash.
Ufiti - 8.4k Skybuilders' Scrips.
Albino Karakul - Also 8.4k Scrips
Megalotragus - Also 8.4k Scrips
Big Shell - Also 8.4k Scrips
Antelope Doe - Also 8.4k Scrips
Disembodied Head - 10 Gelmorran Potsherds after reaching floor 100 in PotD.
Dhalmel - Kupo of Fortune Jackpot reward.
Gabriel Alpha - Southern Front Lockboxes
Alte Roite - You are actually fucking retarded if you buy this with Goetias. It's been possible to solo O4S since at least 6.2. I hope this is a placeholder and the dataminers are just being trolled.
ShB Mounts: Fae, Innocent Gwibers
SB Mounts: Reveling, Bliss, Legendary, Auspicious, Euphonious, Lunar, Hallowed Kamuys
HW Mounts: White, Rose, Round, Sophic, Warring, Demonic, Dark Lanners
ARR Mounts: Aithon, Boreas, Gullfaxi, Markab, Xanthos, Enbarr. Also Nightmare.
ARR Tribal Mounts

I know of at least one person who uses this form of manipulation to cheese Levelling Roulette with Ifrit Normal.

Its low hanging fruit, but its interesting to see a normally pozzed location have so many dissenting naughty opinions

On the flipside, a snide smug post bitching about people who dislike trooncat's VA has 0 updoots

I've just stopped doing roulettes entirely, I'm sick to death of getting Gubal in leveling, and Agalia in Alliance Raids.

my god i just fucking hate where Bryer places the inflections in his sentences... it feels so random. it reminds me of when you were in highschool and the kid who thinks he is smart gets picked to read poetry out loud. just anything to make you sound like you're not a talentless hack. really enjoy whenever you post, Rich Evans Apologist. it's very interesting how poor some of the mixing is for Dawntrail.

just found this wretched thing.
