Plus isn't this one obsessed with Zenos?
I think it's much more likely that it's a TIF (or pretending to be one) drawing her self-insert as a normal woman a trying to pass it off as a transman, probably to avoid being attacked or accused of the crime of being a Mary Sue, than a HSTS TIM who draws himself as basically a woman with his husbando.

This main tranny turned into a tranny because his long-term ldr gf cucked him (they were never dating in the first place, actually, but he went as far as buying her a 400$ ring). He would also print her pictures on his walls. She told him to stop and that she found someone IRL, after that he lost his mind and turned into a lesbian troon. He also begged to join our women-only guild gc and ended up being the circus freak of it. He was always mad at women for not wanting to date him. In the end, he started dating another tranny afaik. I feel sorry for his poor mother because he was always complaining about her never accepting him, but I think in the end she gave up since he changed his legal name.

On the topic of troon FC drama, it's been an iffy time running an FC. We have a few TIMs (it's Crystal after all) but most are only semi-active and do their own thing. There's one I've got my finger on the button for because they barely even play but they use our Discord to plaster their hideous, borderline NSFW selfies in. We haven't had too many issues in general, but we had to kick out a TIF who joined and immediately started being rude and straight up aggressive towards the girls in the FC, while kissing all the guys' asses.

I can't even say anything but it's so alienating feeling like women are supposed to be quiet pushover by society's rules and only moids are allowed to have drive. Maybe it's the autism.

For the length of time I've been playing the game (since roughly 2.4 time), pretty awful. I only have one job at lvl 90 (my main), but I do have all crafters and gatherers at 90 too, as well as all the beast tribes (nearly) maxed. I'm that idiot who wants to play a multiplayer game solo (I wouldn't if I had anyone to play with…) so there's a lot of the game I don't bother with. I just play the new content when a patch drops and keep my gear lazily up to date.

I just discovered this thread a couple of days ago and I'm pretty excited about the new stuff coming in Dawn Trail, so here's a brief blurb on that: I kind of hope the new limited class is Puppetmaster, just because I think the customization could be fun and it'd make the beastmaster crowd seethe. I got RPR to 90 but I stopped enjoying it after, I like NIN a lot so I have high hopes for Viper.
A nice low stakes means of introducing ourselves to each other could be one of the cloud DCs Nov 21, would anyone be keen? It could include nonas worldwide too and we'd be able to hash out stuff ingame for later playing together on mains or further alts. I think "Milky" would be a cute/passingly relevant FC tag if anyone else wants to be in a theoretical FC together, but you start out with 50M from what the keynote said, so alternatively we could all probably have our own shell FCs too and make a cute ward together (please, no Paissa Houses).
And on that note, as far as raiding goes, we could probably enter some stuff min ilvl no echo to see mechanics and negotiate them. I did that a lot to acclimate myself to raiding, with Alex and Omega raids (this was back in ShB when Edens were current). I've cleared the first Pandaemonium tier since (P4S was admittedly not on content) and I'm working on finishing up this one, I'm only on phase 1 still though, I started a bit late into the tier. I've pretty much only healed, SGE first tier and AST then WHM this tier (I got SO asspained during Harrowing Hell that I ditched AST for WHM after talking it over with my co-heal, I'm sorry my stargazer friends…)

The forums are interesting right now lol.
For any nonas who don't want to listen to the tranny for a whole expansion, the Japanese voice actress is super cute and does a great job.
>>348625I believe the player character voices are recorded on JP side, so they should be safe from the NA team.

>>396584I wanted to like Wuk Lamat because I was excited for female Hrothgar but I can't stand the troon voice acting. She sounds like a stunted teenage boy and the accent sounds so forced. I've always prefered the voiced cutscenes but now I had to change change it JP voices because I can't stand listening to him anymore. Nobody is talking aobut it anywhere because this community is a uwu be kind hugbox of pickmes, libfems and soyboys where zero criticism is allowed. I do like the aesthetics of the new areas though.
>picrel the voice actor No. 396935
>>396584it's incredibly boring. i dont mind the slower pace and no stakes of the story, but there is nothing for us to do- just reputative fetch quests while we stand to the side and watch wuk lamat do things. The cutsscenes are unbearably long and bloated this time around, like girls hurry it up. We don't need to watch you take 20 mins to walk off screen one by one or spew 10 hours of dialogue that amounts to nothing. Characters don't feel like they are living beings. They don't react to the world around them unless it is immediately related to the 10 foot radius around them and EVEN THEN I found myself asking, "No one's gonna say anything about that?" multiple times.
Why are the twins even there? Any of the scions really. Could cut them out and it wouldn't change a god damned thing. Why are WE even there?
I'm at the lvl 98 quests and the only part i've actually enjoyed was when I got to go to RedDead at Home with Erenville because we actually had agency there. (Plus the hilariously bad USA accents were the highlight of my life)
Anyway….I'm not having the worst time of my life but I am certainly not clamoring to play more. Wish we focused more on Krile. She is a baby angel and every part that has been about her has been 100/10.

the first half of msq felt like an extended side quest. typical coming of age. wuk lamat had way too much screen time (my tinfoil is the writers were trying to avoid the mistake they made with lyse) the second half came out of nowhere with the weird sci-fi bullshit. lizard dude is evil just because. they gave him a son for pity points (motherless? was he a clone??). main villain was revealed to be creepy child bride. generic sobstory with some weird philosophical bullshit about remembering the dead (even though we already got that in shadowbringers????) the scions were cardboard cutouts whose sole purpose was to appease deranged waifufags.

Everyone that plays this game now is such a mentally ill pornsick TiM and it drives me insane. Last expansion I'd agreed to join a static with another lolcow nona and her friend ended up grabbing retarded scrotes from 4chan when it was getting too close to savage, and all they did was talk about porn and 'girls' with horse penises and never showed up on time because they were busy fucking each other on voice chats. They were also shit and constantly wiped the floor. These are the same faggots who say women can't play videogames at the high level. I wish for a total moid death.

>>403866This was during the last tier of panda, fellow nona was the 'lead' and her friend did recruiting (sorry not sorry if you read this). I didn't interact a whole lot with the 4channers; like I'm not about to get an account from 1.0 banned over scorned porn-addled autogynephile moids, and I didn't want to reveal myself to the spunkbrained tranny wannabe-lesbians over voice either. I did ask innocuous unreportable things like 'is he ready?' in the game itself, if one of the trannies went away from keyboard. The constant sex jokes and horny 'flirting' made me want to burn down a mens' shelter.
They were also all internet-dating and had a major argument and falling out on the third (or fourth?) week, apparently two of the freaks realized they were 'cheating' on each other with some other grotesque fat TiMs and they chose sides and all split after blowing up our discord. Probably found out when they were late to showing up for the billionth time. It's a difficult to describe mixture of primal disgust and almost-painful internal discomfort when you get asked by a whiny deep voiced tranny if you also enjoy '''girl'' cock'. That was the first interaction on raid day 1, I shit you not. It ate me up inside holding myself back. They also unironically used the excuse of being late because they were busy engaging in erotic roleplay.. twice.
Funny enough nona, her friend, and I did the last two fights in party finder and cleared both within that same week. Never again, though- I'd rather cause problems, disband, and be potentially doxed by a gigasperg 4channer than have to deal with that shit. I wish I had done the same and spoken up like you- real goals,
nonnie. My old group from a few years ago was great; we only had one male out of 8 and he was a laidback married father playing with his wife so nobody had to worry about being harassed. It's actually impossible now to get something like that going, if you try to recruit women-only anywhere you'll get banned for not being a handmaiden.
Me too. Zenos deserves to die painfully at least a few more times.

of course when a fictional race has matriarchy lore, TRAs have to include trannys in it. If the ingame TIM is based off of how irl TIMs behave then yes, the TIM hrothgar would transition just to gain authority and steal a position from a biological female.
I can envision a questline where a TIM hrothgar self ids as a woman and steals the throne from the true successor, who is the quest giver that asks for your help in overthrowing the moid and getting her rightful position returned. Since hrothgars have canon sexual dimorphism imagine the hulking hunched over moid trying to parade around as queen kek.

I finally got my Yotsuyu minion and I absolutely love her. I just wonder why most people give Zenos or even Asahi a pass to love but not her? (As far as I've seen in my circles I guess) It's super weird to me. I just really enjoyed her story for the most part.

>>449128I hate all of them, especially Zenos, and it got so much worse
during endwalker when he decided to be our anime rival. Still, my most hated character from stormblood was Hien. I wished more people hated this loser. The fact I still have to interact with him in the future is a pain in the ass. I agree it doesn't make sense hating yotsuyu and giving the other villains a pass, but stormblood was oevrall so shit that everyone turned their brains off.

>>449128>I just really enjoyed her story for the most part.Same, I actually liked her, and her raid lyrics were emotional as they revealed her grief. Also the name of her theme song "Red Spider Lily in the Moonlight" (Wayward daughter in Eng) was interesting symbolism (picrel). Given her background I'm surprised she didn't nuke the entire planet.

>>449134That's fair, I thought it was really odd when that happened considering what he did and honestly I wouldn't be surprised if he pops out of nowhere again in the future. Also Not gonna lie, I legit forgot about Hien in general kek.I really enjoyed the fights in Stormblood even though the story is pretty underwhelming.
>>449136That was a really interesting read thank you Nona! Kek I wouldn't blame her. I relate to her in some ways which made me feel really sympathetic towards her. Her story was another thing I enjoyed from that expansion.

>>449446>One nonna said that if anyone adds you, you accept them and if you remove them they will still have the ability to join you somewhere, basically stalk you. How do you avoid this?If you don't want to be straightforward by saying "I only add people I trust haha" you can lie and say your friends list is full (max 200) because you added everyone who added you as a noob and you feel guilty about removing them ecks dee, and then just make and invite them to a cross world linkshell which is basically your own ingame private groupchat and get to know them that way. If you don't get along with them anymore you can delete the linkshell or kick them and blacklist them so they can't message you.
There are some players who will try and make you their new ingame gf and invite you to their dead FC with their past exes who abandoned their characters kekkk.
If you get ingame married I would rec doing it with a friend who you game with regularly because you get free teleport rings. However if you fall out I believe they can still use the teleport ring. You must both be on the same server.
If you want you can use my recruitment code before you subscribe for the first time. You get free aetheryte tickets and armour to help you become self sufficient ingame, it was really helpful for me when starting out and saved me a lot of gil when travelling. Recruitment code→ WDGFTNDF

>Ffxiv before wow refugeesClique-y
>Ffxiv after wow refugeesMore scammy players (do not join any "lotteries"), and more openly degen ERPers, but also the influx of new players killed a lot of the cliques because no one understood the insular player hierarchy kek
>Which NA/EU servers are the best?All EU servers seem to be quite chill, some are more dedicated to raiding but with cross world linkshells and world travel you don't need to be on a particular EU server to find a raid group, however you will not be able to access your retainers during cross world travel and will need to break a party up in order to world travel. Omega is the EU RP server and doesn't come across as degen as they don't RP in public/dungeons or behave disruptively. There are english speakers and french/german but I don't think there are many cliques. Not much tranny drama at all because no one speaks the same language well enough to bother arguing about it across cultures and I think a lot of users go to EU to get away from that anyway kek.
NA's most popular server appears to be Gilgamesh with a lot of NYC residents there, I've seen novice network spammed a lot in Gilga, and Midgardsormr gets more of a mixed bag but there are some crazies on there too. If you want drama go to these servers.
Mateus and Balmung are the designated RP servers and I am under the impression that they have been acting like tranny containment servers for the last several years kek.
I hope this was helpful keke.

>>449757I never met or tried to meet anyone in XIV, but I do know people who did and they were all generic edating stories full of drama. Most didn't work out and people were usually both insane, the few that did work were very specific couples, usually involving some level of autism that clicked between them. I personally never met a single charming guy in that game, they were all the average nerd looser gamer.

>>449446It is DROWNING in trannies. 9 out of 10 female characters on NA and EU servers will be a moid, as is MMO tradition, but you can count on no less than 4 of those 9 being loud and proud troons. Depending on the server, the number might be higher.
>>449757If the moid isn't a tranny, you can count on them being an edgelord, groomer, or a fuckboy. Sometimes all three the same time, like that gross faggot Rei Host on Hyperion. There are a few decent guys on the game, but they tend to skew older and taken. Don't go in expecting to meet a decent dude, be pleasantly surprised if you do.

>>449446FFXIV community is mixed. There are plenty of nice people, but naturally, there are plenty of weirdos too who will do everything they can to latch onto nice people and run shit into the ground. It is true that if you add someone, they will forever have you on their friendslist even if you block and delete them, so what I personally suggest is to never add anyone unless you're ok with the possibility of them showing up where you are forever.
Don't add people fresh off of doing one thing together. Take time and vet. Especially if you ever get into raiding. Please know that 90% of the raiding community is horrific. The men in it are as bad as it gets, so try not to ever add a hardcore savage/ultimate raiding moid. They are seriously disgusting freaks who hate women.
As for making friends, I've made plenty so I can't say that part is really hard. Just be friendly in content and stuff. Oh make sure to never curse publicly though, that can get you in trouble. I'm not sure about EU, but NA's best server to me is Gilgamesh. Aether and Primal though are both fine as a whole. Do not go to Crystal.
>>449757It's true that marriages come out of XIV somewhat often, but you have to understand that that is a very very difficult thing to reach. The majority of men in XIV are not nice. They are 30-40 years old and still acting like e-boys, pretending they get lots of girls and sex, all because they ERP with catgirls played by other men irl. A lot of them are weird and groomy. If he hangs out a lot in Limsa, or in Crystal data center's "Balmung" server, leave him alone. It's a guarantee that something is deeply wrong with him. If you find out he is a player from the 4chan threads, you need to block immediately as well. Those ones tend to stay in Balmung too though, so really if you just avoid Balmung that already saves you a lot of trouble. There are nice men in XIV but in my experience, you will meet them doing something mundane rather than something like hardcore raiding or pvp'ing. If its something they cant get an ego in, he will probably be fine.

No. 455383
>>455134Limsa is ok to hang out in and I have made great friends there, but at the same time, a lot of drama somehow inevitably starts between groups getting territorial over sharing some stupid corner of the map, or also inevitably, some groomer tries to pry his way into the group and starts fights because his advances are turned down. I've found limsa men to be insufferable about figuring out who's a woman irl with the intention of e-dating her and begging her for nudes and "discord sleep-calls" asap. Especially nearing Valentines day? Ugh. The wanna be discord daddies are relentless in Limsa.
Crystal is the same, just ten times worse. The predatory behavior in Crystal is just unbelievable. If you get a stalker, it will for sure be from Crystal, particularly Balmung. Balmung is where most of the "ERP" happens. Everyone has modded out characters and they pester you about wanting to use sex animations on your character too. If you say no? They'll just steal your characters data and do it anyway, posting it in their pervert servers or on 4chan. I've never met anyone from Balmung that wasnt severely mentally ill, and I do not say that lightly. They are sex obsessed, unstable, super clingy unwell types that will stalk you for months, if not for years. Do yourself a favor and just avoid Crystal altogether, since most people in Crystal are only there for easier access to Balmung (since Balmung often fills and doesnt allow non-crystal main in). I say all this without even mentioning their pedophilic tendencies with lalas + child versions of other races that they create through mod use as well.

>>455666For NA, I recommend the Data Centers; Aether, and Primal.
Aether is the PvE data center. Most players there are into running content and I believe it has the highest population overall. Just know that the designated LGBT server is Aethers "Faerie" server. Nothing ever happens there (no drama or anything I've ever heard), but in case you started there and wondered why all the advertising fc's mentioned being gay friendly, that would be why. Aethers Gilgamesh is the raiding server and should be the most populated one to the point that I think it's locked/full right now anyway, but that's fine because as long as you're in Aether you can play with Gilgamesh players anytime anyway. The rest of Aether is just normal. If you want a house, you'd probably have the best luck in Cactuar or Sargatanas right now.
Primal is the PvP data center, kinda sorta. I've never heard of anything bad happening anywhere in Primal. It's a little sleepy/boring though compared to Aether. If you really like try-harding in ranked PvP and stuff then that would be where to go. Also keep in mind regardless of which Data Center you choose, you can always visit any one you want any time anyway. So you could start in Aether, and then DC travel to Primals servers for ranked PvP. I'd say you can likewise do so from Primal, but Aether is very very full, so please understand that it can be difficult to get into Aether from other DCs (which people often try to do for raiding). Getting a house in Primal is not too difficult I don't think in general.
There is Dynamis, but I did not bring up this DC because it is empty. Dynamis players only chose it to get a house. You can get a house instantly in any Dynamis server, however, for content/PvE/PvP you would have to DC travel elsewhere.
>TLDR (in order of where I recommend + which ones are currently open for new players to join in);Aether: Cactuar, Sargatanas, Adamantoise
Primal: Famfrit, Lamia, Exodus, Hyperion
Google the "FFXIV Community Finder" to see which FC's have openings currently to search for community. In terms of trannies, those are everywhere, but in the 5 years I've played I've never been forced around any, so I often forget they're even there.

>>485390samefag, forgot to explain who Hector is. Tldr he is a youtuber that creates video guides on how to fight XIV endgame raid content such as extremes, savage, and ultimates. He primarily creates guides for the recent savage patches.
He first started creating content in the first tier of Endwalker's savage cycle and his tutorials went a long way from his first guide since KEK.
Before hector created guides, most endgame tutorial videos were created by joonbob, mr.happy, mizzteq, illya.etc which mostly rehashed mechanics to the fight. What set hector apart from the previous creators is that he made presentation style diagrams rather than voicing over gameplay which better visualize how the mechanics work. vidrel is his first video he made for pandaenomium
