Love how Quazii keeps talking about the bizarre meme of WoW refugees being obsessed with water features and then stopping to marvel at every water feature he comes across
Quinnfernal
does WoW not have water
AzureChrysanthemum
Not to the fidelity of FFXIV as I understand
izzy.vrs

There’s definitely some water, one of my only distinct memories of my time with WOW was a quest chain based on a steamboat in the middle of the lake, and going underwater and finding a huge whale carcass down there. It was cool.

lmao if you react emotionally there you’re doomed, you’re in, you’re not escaping

Also water in WoW kinda always looked like shit and was annoying to navigate whenever you did have to be in it.

And inevitably always meant fighting Murlocs nearby

I love the scene where the pope becomes King Thordan
Quinnfernal
the implications are so wild

the entire Holy See is a beast tribe
Quinnfernal
using a millennium of prayer towards a mythic figure to turn him into a primal
Quinnfernal
that's for me the moment that really untangles the beast tribe weirdness
Quinnfernal
because it establishes that there is factually no difference between them and us
Quinnfernal
it's just faith and aether

iirc a lot of the Beast Tribe stigma in Eorzea is a result of like. The city states just being horrendously racist. You’ll notice that Othard is much more chill with the Namazu and Kojin, and in Nordvant one of them is just.

That world’s Lalafells.

yeah and like... the horrific racism in Eorzea, and the entire 'beast tribe' concept, was started by the early Syndicate

for profits.

That’s what I was fishing around for in my head but I couldn’t find it. That’s it.
Ken
Once again, capitalism shows its hand.
