FFXIV Gay Cuddle

Continuing on from where we left off, we had the pleasure of meeting this interesting fellow who liked to “hump” guys in their underwear.  He sat down on one of the railings and everyone joined in for a cuddle party.

Even “Justin Beiber” tried to get in on the action..

Yes, “Justin Bieber,” “Oprah Winfrey,” and other stars in the Final Fantasy series (coughcloudcough) found their way into Eorzea.

So Kenneth and I decided to do a little photoshoot in a small cottage nestled by the sea. Completely forgetting this was a public space, a girl walked in on us and started cheering. Whoops!

One glaring problem with the character models is the lack of skin textures. This becomes extremely apparent on a cloudy day. As I tried to make the most of it, I found taking pictures in a subligar with sandals showed just the right amount of skin without sacrificing a lot of defensive stats.

Rings, bandanas, and eye patches helped a bit too, and while they were adequate for trash mobs, the story quests became much more of a challenge. I’d love if more games did away with stats on clothing but that concept doesn’t seem to be in high demand for now.

We went around taking as many silly pictures as we could using the emote function. Emotes will show up in chat so you can “wave” or “fall asleep” next to someone. We’ve also seen it used for sex role play which passersby may not pick up on instantly. The trick would be to perform the action while sitting down since there’s hardly any animations associated with it.
