I decided to see for myself how long it would take to get through the main story in FFXIV by making a new character and recording my progress through the /playtime command and a notepad file. I'm about 1/4 way through 5.0 (Shadowbringers) and I'm clocking about 193 hours, so "300 hours to beat the MSQ" isn't so outlandish.

Bear in mind that I'm also unlocking all the duties available on roulettes and completing the raid, trial, and dungeon questlines associated with them (so that excludes The Coils of Bahamut). Thus far I've finished Crystal Tower, Alexander, Shadows of Mhach, and Return to Ivalice. Currently working through Omega and The Four Lords.

Also included in that time is unlocking flying in all the zones, Hall of the Novice training exercises, unlocking Hunts and Housing, and getting enough Poetics to buy a full set of Augmented end-expansion gear for one job (Black Mage) for each x.0 completion(minus Dawntrail, ofc), and whatever else might assist in going through the MSQ.

It's been fun going through the game again, even though I did this as a side project so I have the greatest possible clarity of what this game would demand of new players. I don't recommend this game lightly. We don't need more WoWfugee shitters in XIV.

How much of a greasy fat bitch do you have to be to name your kid after this?

Would like to send this to everyone in FFXIV farming Praetorium for moogle tomestones:

I'm done talking to Indians. If I ever hear an Indian over the phone, I'm hanging up. If someone needs to do something over the phone, they'll get a white guy to speak to me.

@Kyou I figure a great many of them are teenagers, too.

@Kyou I think it's thrown around a lot by people who have complexes and insecurities about their own sexuality and/or they just want to verbally abuse the "old guard" who were into anime before 2020.

It kinda makes sense that the UK is the way that it is when I've seen at least four different instances of this post.

You're not salient.

You're not being "tough but fair."

You're just spiteful.

Accelerationism is the most retarded ideology imaginable.

One, you underestimate how much tyranny the average person will put up with.

Two, there is no clean slate from which to build a better civilization. Every society is an unbroken continuation of whatever society the people building it came from.

I'm willing to give to a crowdfund for Scott Adam's Warcasket so he can be airdropped into the hood and go out fighting.

I would like to add my own useless feature to Discord:

The ability to enter and leave voice chat very slowly. Like, your discord name will slowly grow and fade into the vc list when you connect, and vice versa when you leave.
