ffxiv is full of fomo bs toward the player and it's fucking infuriating. there's this signature motion that your player character does in many, many, MANY cutscenes in the game and the emote is locked behind...a timed exclusive PvP reward that's no longer available. wtf SE

exCUSE me for wanting to RP during MSQ with NPCs and use the 'pounding your hand' animation WoL does all the fucking time

as a longtime fan of this series I feel like I've forgiven a lot about this game because the story ended up being really good but stuff like this really infuriates me to no end. i kinda despise the idea that some emotes are locked behind a cash shop for 7USD each and it's not even there, for again, a motion that your character does all the fucking time in cutscenes.

am I more upset than I should be? am i taking out my aggression about many other facets of my life on this stupid MMO? yeah, probably. but let me have this.

the cute little friend tho 🥺

but yeah, this shit does get to me sometimes, especially the PvP stuff. the cash shop stuff is money grubby, and I'm mad that I gave in more than once for emotes ... but somehow the PvP stuff just feels like the kinda petty shit WoW used to do.

like I was doing a cosplay glam the other day and the glasses I wanted to match were only in a fuckin' PvP series from years ago. At that point I might as well just use mods. :/

Thank you, I adore my little WoL ;u;

Yeeeahhh I already wasn't thrilled at having to unlock something through PvP but y'know whatever I had a goal in mind and I was prepared to go all-in for it. One could even say...determined. 😏 But alas, a friend was the bearer of bad news that I lost my chance at getting it (or rather it was long gone before I even left free trial and even got access to PvP)

I haven't touched mods but I know I would be kinda bummed if I modded in something cool for my outfit only for me to be the only person who gets to see it, y'know?

There are Ways. Mare Synchronous lets you share a code with at least your friends or sometimes venues will share a group code, so you can all see each other, though that has some risks, mostly crashes.

I get it tho. I could just mod whatever I want, but it's more fun sometimes to actually get the thing, and know everyone else in the roulette can see how hot you are.
