x. Calpis Flavor

Hallo everyone! It's the end of December soon, can you believe it!? Please stay safe out there and stay warm. Canada isn't doing too well with omicron, so going out to eat is getting questionable once again. Anyway, enough of covid talk. Tonight is going to be a short blog post, and again, fair warning:

If you have not unlocked the fourth dungeon in Endwalker, do not read this post!

I warned you!!!

Few nights ago, I found another Aikia, this time he's trying to cosplay as One Punch Man. Do you think this Aikia is successful?? I think Cucco's Aikia is a fake.

Now for Endwalker MSQ random talk hehe o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o Who did you guys choose for your late night inn talk?? Sas chose Graha immediately and I chose Alphinaud, my son. I plan to re-watch the cutscenes so I can see everyone's conversations. I heard Estinien was pretty hilarious!

Okay guys, please tell me Elpis is not just a fanservice arc, but it's definitely BL. Hythlodaeus called Emet-Selch chan "handsome". I do enjoy their bromance chemistry... but I'm definitely feeling it's just more than bromance here ＊*♡( ⁎ᵕᴗᵕ⁎ ）

SERIOUSLY. MOST OF THE CUTSCENES IS HYTHLODAEUS GIGGLING LIKE THIS...

AND EMET-SELCH CHAN IS JUST BEING TSUNDERE ( ꈍДꈍ )

Elpis is my favourite map in Endwalker hands down. I literally treated this part of the story as fanservice, for some reason, their time traveling reasoning doesn't make much sense to me. Graha's time traveling in Shadowbringer makes more sense but I'm not here to talk about the storyline!! 

Not only do I love the map design, the music is just so lovely, especially the night time version（｡>‿‿<｡ ）Let's just enjoy the beauty of this map with some scenery screenshots:

Can we all agree that this dungeon's music is HELLA GOOD!? I'm so happy that I got the orchestrion roll for this and I could play it in our FC's house. We really needed a new playlist in there.

Normally, Sas and I would wait for Luna to do dungeons blind, but we both saw the trusts and we were interested in seeing what they would say ( ´ ▽ ` )b No regrets, I love their shit talking and I even suggested Luna to do the same. I even read every single lore point in that dungeon, it was actually super neat!! 

That's all for now gang, once again, be safe and stay healthy everyone. Until next blog post,

Merry Christmas Eve everyone!! I hope everyone is doing well this fine evening. Before you continue reading tonight's blogpost ...

There will be very some Endwalker stuff here. If you haven't unlocked the second dungeon and the third dungeon, please don't continue reading. You've been warned!!

Old Sharlayan basically became my home point because teleporting is super expensive. I think I prefer Crystarium more, but Sharlayan has their market board close by, so it's more convenient. Occasionally, I would see some lovely friends hanging out here, like look!

o((*^▽^*))o Luna and Mar!! Mar cheers me on when I'm crafting too, I can feel the friendship power.

Isn't Luna cute? Yes yes yes, she definitely is cute. I also love her glam, it's really classy and cute.

Luna, Sas, and I had been running blind dungeons together for the most part. We had Geir helping us out for our second dungeon. The dungeon's OST was boppin, I love it! Somehow, I'm not that tired of running this dungeon (trust me... I ran it many times for the glams...)

The final boss of this dungeon though!!! I'm a little sad that Anima isn't actually a primal fight, I was really hoping it was, SE baited us.

I will have to say, Anima is hella dope and so was the fight. If Anima was a primal fight, I could see some potential edgy weapon designs from him. 

Later on, Geir, Rare, and I helped Juren ran his very first dungeon ᕦ( ᐛ )ᕤ Look at us, we look so good at the end of the fight, hehe!

Once I got the third dungeon unlocked, I waited for Luna and Sas to catch up! Neru joined us for our dungeon blind run. I will have to admit learning a new fight while healing is a little challenging LOL I've been hugging the floor... for every dungeon _(:D」∠)_  

A little bit of MSQ screenshots, and yes, I took a LOT of screenshots. The watcher's robe immediately caught my attention. It's very beautiful! Too bad Zodiark's children are wearing... just plain black? So boring.

We got viera female, viera male, now we got viera children. I did enjoy exploring this map, but holy cow, the zone is MASSIVE. Luckily, the BGM there made it better because I really like that FF4 track (it's one of the few tracks I know, sorry my FF4 knowledge is very lacking).

I finally got all my crafters to 90, the "grind" wasn't that bad actually and I enjoyed leveling my crafters! I love leveling gathering classes but they're always so short. Now I just need to spend the rest of my hours making trade-in items for the scrips...to break every single materiaaaa ಥ_ಥ

Okay, I'll end the blog post here and a friendly reminder to everyone: Don't forget to do the Christmas even on FFXIV before it's too late!

x. Little Popoto to Big Bun

As the title says, I certainly converted my lalafell alt into a max height male bun. Yes. I did it, I slaughtered my popoto! I will never change my main though, it will forever stay female miqote d( ᐖ )

Since it's the new expansion, I was curious to see what works on Vieras now. I did do a little hunting in Old Sharly and saw a bun bun with robes on (I might be late on this, don't shoot me)!!

I also decided to re-watch some of the cutscenes because I was curious to see the male viera's emotes. So far, I thought they were great, but I could be biased here since I like my male viera. I cannot wait to bond with Luna's male Viera, she made a lovely one ( > ▽ < ) HAHAHAHAHAHAAH.

I do like lalafells and I do occasionally miss playing my tiny popoto!! It's just I just can't take them seriously in any cutscenes, so it kind of ruins MSQ moments for me. As well, I do find it challenging to glam popotos, and it just takes a lot of brain power to make one cute glam.

However, the male viera is not completely perfect because ... well LOL? (°Д°  )What is up with the thighs here in this sitting pose?? 

??? Hallo thighs??? You doing okay LOL!? I DUNNO, IT LOOKS SO BAD HAHAAHAHAA.

But depending on angles, it looks good!! Weird skinny thighs are hidden.

Another hilarious pose ... when they're flying on a bear mount. I thought it was a glitch for a second, but omg, what is this even??? IT'S SO EXCESSIVELY WEIRD LOL

Anyway, that's it for now, I hope everyone is having a good winter holiday. Until next post,

x. Ultimate Queue Walker (Savage)

Greetings friends and FC fam, how goes your weekend? While I'm waiting in queue, I decided to do a little bit of blogging, because why not!? If anyone wants to glam farm in other dungeons, feel free to ping me on Discord too. I'm always up for that（*＾＾*)

Fair warning -- There is going to be a bit of Endwalker things and this post is mostly focused on the first week of the new expansion (including early access). If you don't want any spoilers, please don't read this!

The very first day of Endwalker, ohs boy, Error 2002 literally became my bestie. Then I got hit by a "long" queue, and by long, it was 300+ on Day 1 at 2:30AM. 

But waiting in queue with Error 2002 was still worth it because ... into Old Sharly we go （*＾ワ＾*）!! Yes, as you can see... when you get into a new town, I have to take lots of screenshots. I just love everything in Old Sharly - the music, the architecture, the town! Thankfully, it doesn't have the obnoxious bagpipes like in Idyllshire, otherwise I would cry.

Seriously, requesting Square Enix to give us this emote. Forget the pizza emote gang, this is the real deal ಠ_ಠ

When I unlocked the first dungeon, I was so excited. Got to do this blind with Luna, Sas, and Rare!! Yes, we got two tanks in the party, we don't follow the norm.

I still think the youngest Magus Sister is a popoto that has been enlarged. 

GANG PHOTO HECK YESSS! (☆｀• ω •´)ｂ Look at us, I really love this shot of us!!

Ohs we cannot forget crafting. I'm looking forward to blowing my hard earned gil on pentamelds (´；ω；`) Funny enough, my first level 90 is CUL. 

And... I'll end the post with this thing ....

That's it for now ~ have a wonderful time playing Endwalker and hope to see the rest of you on later,

x. Lore Reviewing

Hallo fellow friends and FC fam! I hope December has treating you well, aside from nasty weather. If not, I shall be sending you lots of hot chocolate and good Christmas music (not ones that is constantly looped on radio stations) o(〃＾▽＾〃)o Tonight, I will be rambling about random things on FFXIV, so no Endwalker stuff quite yet! 

I'm going to start off with some of my roulette luck. I actually had been getting Rabanasty once in awhile in alliance roulette and it makes me very sad. I do not enjoy these tower runs, but that is mostly because I do not remember most of the mechanics. 

Two months ago, my friends Cien and Dove got married (congrats on your BFF marriage, so cute)! They had 2-3 themes for their wedding, and I believe, I accidentally triggered the "wear your ugliest" outfit too early... ∑(ﾟ∇ﾟ|||)

I feel like at this point, it's not a surprise that I kept my Namazu outfit LOL 

Look! Even Neru is here!! This was him when he was still a cat girl (๑꧆◡꧆๑)

Occasionally, I would join Mar, Jordi, and my other Faerie friends and do late night unreal Levis. You know it's a good night when you clear two levis in one sitting.

Then the rest of us tried to go for the 100 faux hollow tokens. I'm still saving up for an Anteater, one of these days, I'll get one sob sob (since you need like 300 faux tokens for it ಥ‿ಥ).

I really like this screenshot of Mar, his cat boy looks really nice in here!

I almost forgot, my Faerie friends did organize a fun Halloween event on Halloween weekend!! It started off with some spooky stories, then we played Cards Against Humanity. I had to go earlier because I had some evening plans... which means I had to pass on their Squid Game themed mini-games challenge!! Ohs well, I wanted to go murder people -- I mean wait, what? 

I had to say, the event was very nice, and it brings back fond memories where I used to host contests. Some day, I'll bring them back, when I don't get too lazy that is (　；∀；) 

Prior Endwalker coming out, I told Kipp to go do Coils because the story is pretty good, especially Final Coils. You can't change my mind on that. We grabbed our other friends Aeo and Cien to come join the adventure and we had a really good time watching the cutscenes together! 

My favourite fights are still T12 and T13 from Coil series. Phoenix was hella cool and T13 has sick final transition. Now Kipp and Cien knows Louisoux's background and how it's related to Endwalker!! 

That's all for now gang, so until next blog post,
