Leviathan would be a lot easier if we could just zoom the camera out just another few yalms to see the entire platform, making it easier to spot the water spout where he pops up before he tilts the ship. I swear the camera operator is a Serpent Reaver incognito.
How our hearts sing in the chaos! Wild and pure and forever free!
This arrived yesterday. My friend and I spent all last night going through Crossroads, so I'm just now getting around to listening to it.
To my pleasant surprise, it was a Bluray instead of a CD. So higher fidelity and some slideshows that play on the screen while you listen is really awesome. Also it came with a Zero minion.
Why can't America do this. I mean, once upon a time there were audio DVD's with higher fidelity and maybe a music video or three. But those were short lived, hard to find and only happened for a select few number of albums.
Physical music media could really take off again, especially for the audiophiles, if we did stuff like this.
Damn, I love Japan!
Not that I'd want to move there. Seems crowded and I don't speak Japanese. But man, they are not afraid of tech!
In FFXIV, be sure to take your character(s) over by the achievement vendor in Gridania. Firstly, he has two new eyewear pieces (goggles and pince nez) and an emote (watering can) available. Second, next to him is a moogle who will give you a free bottle of Fantasia. They adjusted some of the graphics for faces, so they're handing out Fantasia so people can tweak anything that they didn't like about their characters' faces.

The achievement vendor has a few other items added depending on your achievements. For me he had a couple of framing kits for the adventurer plates. I know one was from the Doman Reconstruction side quests in Stormblood, not sure what unlocked the other.
Mollusk: I didn't notice any new framing stuff, I guess those were added earlier and I already had them? (My main, who is ready to start the 7.1 MSQ stuff, only saw the eyewear and the watering can as new things available to use her hundreds of points on).
Caldwin: So many femHroth are Fantasia-users (including my own), I don't expect anyone's too surprised. I've seen several with Lalafell names, for instance. Mine doesn't have a "worse" name because she was my first character and named based on a recurring character I use in a lot of MMOs, so she has neither a Miq'ote nor Hrothgar name, but "Kat" still works for either race.
They give us free Fanta, but NOT free name-changes.

You can save your character's appearance. Hit Square on the character select screen to bring up the sub menu. It won't save any hair styles that weren't in the default character creation list, but those are just a quick trip to the aesthetician away.
Fantasias also now give you 60 minutes of in-game time to make changes, if something looks different in-game than it did in the creation screen. Just log out and re-edit away.
Oh yeah, when I switched Kat from kawaii catgirl Miq'ote to muscle mommy Hrothgar, about half my glams ended up looking stupid thanks to the broader shoulders. A lot of them needed refreshing anyway, since Kat had mostly been in a parking orbit since a couple months after Endwalker dropped, only really coming back out for patch content...so once all her jobs were up to 90 there were jobs I didn't touch again until the switch to Hrothgar made me check all the glams (and trays, thanks to DT job updates).
I think the tweaks they did actually helped Kat's face, it doesn't bug me as much as it did a few weeks ago. Still might get rid of the overbite fangs and see if that helps her get more of a chin, though.
(Kat's colors across games are green and red, in this case Hunter Green and Dalamud Red. Running with the Chainsaw Man vibe of the Halloween glam set for my Reaper, using the Augmented Scaevan Scythe because it has chainsaw teeth.)

"Beat up" are such strong words. I prefer the terms "made him my bitch."
So I'm more like lvl 100 instead of 60. But little story for you.
Once upon a time a sprout named Caldwin had just started an adventure. He didn't know a sidequest from MSQ. Heck, he hadn't even seen the acronym MSQ, let alone knew what it stood for.
There was so much content in Final Fantasy XIV that there was absolutely no possible way he could ever reach the end of it. Even if he bullheaded his way from one expansion to the next, there was absolutely no possible way he could ever catch up with everyone else. No way!
So yeah, I was fiddling around with random unsynced time wasters just looking for something to pass the time.
Hey! I totally forgot about this guy. I should kill him more often, make TMM happy.
Edit:
BTW, who's Khloe?
Khloe Aliapoh is a Miqo'te kitten in Idyllshire who gives out the weekly Wondrous Tails journals, which give you a bunch of extra objectives to fulfill for chances at bonus rewards.
ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com
Wondrous Tails - Final Fantasy XIV Online Wiki - FFXIV / FF14 Online Community Wiki and Guide
Wondrous Tales always give about a half level's worth of XP when turned in, on top of any rewards you might get from randomly filling in the sticker book aspect. I tend to turn them in on jobs that are more hassle to level up, like healer or tank.
Once you have any jcombat obs at the current level cap, Khloe gives you the hard mode books, where most of the tasks are things you cannot possibly solo, but the rewards include more endgame grind stuff like the latest type of high end tomestone (Aesthetics, for instance, right now). I've been very carefully keeping the characters still working on Dawntrail below L100 on anything, rotating what jobs I use for MSQ, etc. Eventually the MSQ is L100 and I'll lose access to the "run through all nine entries in half an hour" trick.
Khloe's big sister Zhloe Aliapoh is one of the Custom Deliveries people. Their big sister Qih coordinates the Studium Quests in Old Sharlayan (that info is not available in-game, it wasn't confirmed until the relevant volume of the Encyclopedia Eorzea came out). The other Aliapohs in the game (Jihli from the not-Easter event and Leih from the Archer class quests) seem to be unrelated. It is a common Seeker of the Moon name.
