I, for one, welcome our new Pictomancer overlords.

waughh i missed this stream!!! time to watch the VOD while i wait for the patch drop lol

Regarding the stubble for Midlander. Back during Stormblood, the patch 4.5 trailer started showing In-game WoL with that stubble, his face was otherwise identical to face 5 (The one Garrett uses) but instead of the ugly chin strap, it had proper stubble. People asked about this in the lead-up to Shadowbringers and Yoshi P seemed surprised that people wanted it... I don't really know why he was surprised, it seems pretty self explanatory to me but maybe it's Japan's general lack of interest in facial hair compared to the west. Anyway, Shadowbringers came and went and in the lead-up to Endwalker, he said in an interview they were working on giving players the stubble face but that it was causing some issues and they had to kind of brute force it. This is because the stubble was a toggle facial feature option for an "NPC only version" of face 5, character creation seems to only be able to support 5-6 facial feature options per face, never any more, so they couldn't add the stubble as an extra option to the face we were already using due to system limitations. They instead duplicated face 5, baked the stubble into the face model and called it face 7. A very jank way to go about it, but at least we have it, this is also why only Midlander have it, because it was originally made special just for the in-game trailer WoL.

I'm happy you can enjoy new content and do the waiting for more content with us😊

I spent a bunch of time during EW launch reading reddit and ff forums because I couldn't play the game and I was frustrated so made myself feel better by reading everyone's angy posts on the internet

Ah, first day of a new Expansion Queues. LET ME IN! 😆

Vod Squad o7

It wasn’t too bad this time around. 2400 Q to get in, but I got no disconnects and it only took about 25 minutes. Much better than the last time I should say.

VoD Squadding the end stuff I missed trying to get at least a decent amount of sleep. (5 hours, not terrible)

2:05:00 I don't think the Sundered were tempered. They had died during the sundering and thus was cleansed of aetherial corruption. It's only the Unsundered who would remain tempered, since there would be no real way for the sundered to interact with the imprisoned Zodiark. (And there have been no hints that Elidibus himself can temper people), this also explains why Fandaniel was able to act completely against the convocations will once the people keeping a watchful eye on him were gone, even killing himself (as Zodiark). Things that should be impossible to a tempered individual.

10 min to dawntrail vod squad

i minor in blm and i dont see the connection between blm and picto? on a 1-10 i feel like 8/10 for pld and 4/10 for smn (with smn being my main job)- im okay with it but super not interested in the summon 9/10 for sch 5/10 (neutral) on blm. im interested in the changes and dont feel the downsides personally cause im not deep in the job
