one of my favorite details of the Stormblood storyline actually is when everyone gathers on the wall to sing the Ala Mhigan anthem and it’s this same fucking tune 

like, it’s just so. exactly the kind of thing a brutally oppressive colonial force would genuinely do

I guess I got tagged in this

Have you ever seen the Vath from Final Fantasy 14? They’re little insect people who manage to be cute through speech and behavior without any Pixar-style humanizing features.

bogleech:

Yeah! Video games really have always completely obliterated Hollywood when it comes to quality creature and character design.

the Vath are so precious, they’re all former members of a hivemind so they’re like…insanely excited to experience individuality. There’s two of them just hanging out being delighted and perplexed by the fact that they like different foods.

I HAVE A MIGHTY NEED FOR THIS DAMN EMOTE

i really want this emote like you don’t understand

Ayy, I have a response for this /o/

So during a radio interview, Yoshida gave out an answer for a similar request. Below is the JP, and I’ll put a translation beneath it. It’s not out of the question, but hard, from what I understand.

Q.
ヘビースモーカーの私としては喫煙エモートが欲しいのですが全世界でサービスを提供しているFF14では厳しいとおっしゃると思います。
例えばモグモグスモークキャンディをくわえる(モーグリ族がモチーフの棒付きキャンディ、くわえると爽やかな香りの煙に包まれる)といったものなら可能なのでしょうか?

A.
レギュレーション的には多分ありなんだと思います。
ディスクリプタ(業界規約でこのマークをつけておけばこれはokみたいな)があれば…。
喫煙はいけるし実は新生の頃にシドに電子タバコ(ガーロンドアイアンワークス製)を吸わせようとしていたが 実装コストが間に合わなかった。
それが実現していればシドモデルの電子タバコのグッズが作れていたはず
喫煙者に厳しい世の中、なかなか難しい。
質問にあるような「いい香りのする」ものならありかもしれません
面白いので考えてみます

Q.

I’m a heavy smoker and I would love to have a smoke emote but I think it would be a bit difficult since FF14 is putting out its service globally. For example, could it be possible to implement something like a Moogle Mog Smoking Candy (a stick type candy that has a Moogle motif, and when put in the mouth would emit a nice scent) instead?

A.

I think this would be possible under the regulations. As long as there’s a descriptor (something in the industry agreement that would mark this as OK)…

Smoking is actually fine and during ARR we had planned for Cid to be smoking an electrical cigarette (Garland Ironworks Brand) but the implementation costs couldn’t be met.

If that had become a reality the Cid model electrical cigarette goods could have been made.

As the world is strict on smokers, it is rather hard.

Just like in the question, “something that has a nice scent” may be possible.

This is fun we’ll be thinking on it.

#LET CID VAPE

i was going to make a joke but i couldnt possibly come up with anything funnier than the fact that it was almost canon that Cid vapes and sells his own line of handcrafted Garlond Ironworks magitek e-cigs to adventurers
