Still not touching 15 though. I live in a age where I don't have to walk through cis man mid life crisis stories anymore

boohoo angry-place 15 is NOT A MALE MID-LIFE CRISIS STORY IT'S A STORY ABOUT 4 YOUNG MEN IN A CLOSED POLYCULE, WHO ARE DEEPLY IN LOVE WITH EACHOTHER, GOING ON ONE LAST ROAD TRIP TO GET THEIR GAY OUT BEFORE THEIR ONLY TOP GETS MARRIED.

And yeah, I didn't mean to denigrate the roleplay scene of 14 in general; I know there are cool housing instances and people - my lala is actually named after a politician so historically whenever someone ran up to me trying to roleplay in a non weird way I'd play along for a bit!

Me and my wife have a blog where we put up our character stories that we write and she is very good at the modding pictures.

This is like the ideal kind of roleplay in FF14 to me. Or even people who theme their FC around some sort of joke or style. All great. I was mainly shitting on the players who just mod the everliving fuck out of their characters so they are even more sexualized than they are in the base game (because let's be honest, 4/5 of the playable races are extremely sexualized). At the end of the day, thankfully I don't have to see any of it outside of social media with the nuking of Mare and whatnot - but it just rubs me the wrong way that a large portion of the playerbase is treating the game like it is interactive porn!!!

I miss mount farming old content tbh. I still need to finish the dragons & do the wings but wings are all the Dawntrail trials kitty-birthday-sad

Oh yeah I figured you didn't mean all RP. Just figured I'd mentioned some of the cooler ones if you hadn't been lucky to find stuff. It can be Russian Roulette sometimes and some FC peeps I knew had some weird horror stories to the point where I have no idea how they find themselves in those situations sometimes.

It can be hard to find ground RPers at times because of mods and stuff but I run into this problem when I DM too. So figure its more issue of western style protagonist syndrome then anything. Not to mention the ironic pilled individuals.

But you make the most at what you can find.

But yeah I truly didn't take any offense or anything like that. It just struck me as hilarious how your worst is some of my favs like back to back. Its amazing how that works sometimes.
