Is it just me, or is saying "gamedev is hard" when you're in localization of all things a pretty dumbass take?
She thinks she's actually in gamedev instead of just a text monkey. Probably spends more time lobbying for woke takes on the actual story than proper translation or localization work.
 
>"I just play games for... playing, and not the loot"
It's funny that this is the probably the most egregious thing she said. Everyone from the hardcore raiders to the causal dungeon runners fucking HATE how loot it is in this game and 450 good boy tomes a week has been a pain point since Stormblood for some people.
Not to mention that the biggest complaint of Dawntrail is that you AREN'T doing any 'gameplay' and just 'speaking with Wuk Lamat' 45,000 times.

Yes, especially for Kate. She's really trying to position herself as the next Koji, and/or set up a streaming career for herself where she can talk about how she worked at Square Enix for 7 years.
It's a terrible take. You're so far removed from the actual GameDev process - it doesn't even take place on the same continent as you.

Not sure if you were talking in a figurative sense, but to be fair, Kate is based in Japan.

This is just a taste of the quagmire that is Barry. We haven't even covered the Yoship tranny porn arc yet.
Ah yes, I remember he just "stumbled across it".

Edit: As for Titanman, the dude has been trolling the OF forums since as far back as 2015 IIRC. According to him (he once posted on /v/ with a tripcode with his own name) he works in the tech industry and makes "6 figures" and "does RMT with his countless accounts as a side gig, and said accounts pay for themselves". He offered to help anons get in on the RMT business. Apparently it's fairly easy to get into. He's some dude who's despised the direction the game has been going for an extremely long time (for good reasons) and basically does RMT partially out of spite, not just money. He knows him and other RMTers are fucking up the game and is happy about it. Not like SE fucking does anything about it, I mean the guy is still around RMTing after all these years.

Also fun little fact, the name "Titanman" is a reference to "Titanmen", which is a series of gay porno involving big muscular men. This may explain his peculiar habit of choosing male highlanders as his usual avatars.

At this point I'm starting to believe that 99% of the people who play this game are some kind of alphabet cult type of queer.

Is he connected to Aveyond Dreams? (The gay guy in one of those screen shots you posted who said he had HIV and claimed he wouldn’t use it to “clap back” at people.) Aveyond supposedly had a bunch of alts on Twitter he used to troll people and he posted a lot of pics of muscular men in between yelling about the game and trolling others. His original twitter was highlancowman and his last alt was answersisters.
 
Beastmaster is absolutely following the pattern Blue Mage set where it's released in the .5 patch.

He has repeatedly denied being Aveyond Dreams, but I dunno. Those accounts were confirmed by the Trancercord themselves to be Aveyond and (while Aveyond himself was way more subtle on the OF forums) on Twitter his modus-operandi and posting style is nigh-identical to Titanman. He even switched his forum character at one point (as seen in that forum screenshot where he admited to having aids) showing that he had a max level character (some Garlean RP character wearing the Bozja Garlean glam even, and russian text in his signature) that looked identical to Titanman's typical highlander character.

But Aveyond is both russian and openly far-right, neither of which Titanman has even implied to be (I'm very confident he's American) and has implied he doesn't hold very right-wing views. Who the fuck knows, the guy has shown he will make entirely different personas for each of his alter-egos so he could just be larping as a gay far-right russian who hates Venat as that one persona.

Also I like XIV but the idea that the releases aren't formulaic is insane. You know exactly what the patch cycle is for years and the only small variance is when they put in Relic Content and how deep that goes.

- Expansion (X.0)
- New Dungeon and 8 Main Raid (Four Fights) (X.05)
- New Dungeon and 24 Main Raid (Four Fights) (X.1)
- New Dungeon and 8 Main Raid (Four Fights) (X.2) - This starts to setup the New Expansion
- New Dungeon and 24 Main Raid (Four Fights) (X.3) - This starts to wrap up the Current Expansion
- New Dungeon and 8 Main Raid (Four Fights) (X.4)
- New Dungeon and 24 Main Raid (Four Fights) (X.5)
- Pre New Expansion Content (any changes that aren't new content) (X.55)
- Expansion (X+1.0)
I swear the formula has been something that Yoshi P has not only acknowledged but has stated is intentional and believes is good. Kate's finger is so far off from the pulse of the game she supposedly "develops" it's crazy.

Wrong on all counts, stalker chud. This is why your life is already over. Enjoy prison.

It all makes sense now.....
man I really hit the nail on the head even more so when I thought when I pegged her as the toxic positive type. You can have a dozen anti-Dawntrail videos out there, but this is the type of person who kills your game faster than them put together and tripled.

Edit: It seems the lessons learned from 2014 are starting to go unheeded.

There is something deeply, deeply wrong with that face. I'm being serious, something about it just doesn't look right. I get that Kate's a tranny and that trannies in general just look wrong, but... it genuinely doesn't feel like I'm looking at a human, more like something that is trying - and failing - to pass as a human.
 
If next update doesn’t mention beast master release, I’m quitting.
Beastmaster likely won't be til 7.4 at the latest. They've been consistent with 'late 7.x' on BST release.

I am pretty sure she's just an unfortunate looking genuine woman (hence why she's all big on the 'non-binary' train and why I think she's a candidate for becoming a pooner) but yeah, it's like an alien who is trying to imitate human behavior.

E: It does annoy me that my theory of her possibly being demoted/let go due to how much of a shitshow the EN release of DT was didn't happen. I know that was a hail-mary copium take, but it would've been nice to see some sort of adjustment.
