From what I can tell (in a very very cursory glance), 'shite' is actually a modern maybe early modern English variant for 'shit' in British English or Irish English. Take Wikipedia with a grain of salt if you're so inclined. Old English: scite (dung) and scitte (diarrhoea), and the verb scītan (to defecate, attested only in bescītan, to cover with excrement) Middle English: schītte (excrement), schyt (diarrhoea) and shiten (to defecate) So what is it that we consider "modern or real world"? What separates that from those that are considered Eorzean appropriate? Why is 'shite' or 'bloody' lesser real world? As far as I know, they're used in modern speech quite often. We see it in game. That's why we accept it. But I already posed why fuck wouldn't be used quite often in the game. Would you consider "Uh... I think I'll pass..." out of place?

Having seen the phrase - and derivations of the phrase - used by NPCs in-game, I'd wholeheartedly agree with its use IC. That said, as stated above, I acknowledge that language IC evolving in a real-time way is something that I believe is natural progression in any constructed reality. Ergo: I agree with you on two counts - why wouldn't it have come into use? You can surely explain it away ICly, after all. As I said, and from what I am assuming from my understanding of your statement, you would have continued to see it as "out of place" if it was not for the presence of it in-game. Yes? I am sure many others would say the same thing. So then my question is, what is actually considered to be "real world" slurs that break immersion? Is it retard? Is fuck actually one or is it just in our minds? There are ones like "oh shite" or "bugger off!" that can take its place but could the absence of fuck be explained by the TEEN RATING? If ESRB rating is anything similar to the ratings of movies, you can only keep the PG-13 rating with only a certain number of usages of the word and especially as long as they are not 'sexual' in nature... This thread is not the only time we've talked about it. Either common uses or which ones people use. Some people do say it breaks immersion but then, again, my question is exactly what words are breaking your immersion and why? Is it because we use them often -now-? And at what 'point' will certain slurs be deemed acceptable to not break immersion. Are we only restricted to the ones in game?

Some oldies

CS--izSnbNk "Thal's Bloody Balls" Would you agree that for some people 'bloody' would have been seen as something that is a colloquial term (RL inserted into Eorzea) and probably would have continued to see it as that way until it was seen by a player in-game or at FanFest?

Help. Too spoopy

Clams and corn on the cob

Sounds like part of what we did for this recipe. We'd blend it a bit. I -personally- like some tomato chunks with the puree (one of the few places I like raw tomatoes are in pico de gallo / salsas) so I chop extra tomatoes than the recipe calls for so I can add them in. I don't know if you can see it... There's this glad ware box of my salsa on the beach while a few of us played MtG

Another chain is Curry House (of House Foods) but I feel like Coco Ichibanya's are better tasting. Though... I think Ichibanya and Curry House is more CA / So-Cal or Japan.

Interesting, cooked? I have a recipe somewhere. Uses jalapenos and cascabella peppers or banana peppers. Spicy as allll get out. Lots of tomatos, I think I remember a small bit of canned tomato, cilantro, green onions and a tiny bit of white onion. -griffin squawk- EXCUSE. noun. a person who does not belong to a widely held religion (especially one who is not a Christian, Jew, or Muslim) as regarded by those who do. ... oh well, yeah that is true.

And extra small rice. /runs

I was going to say that I've never heard of such thing, and you were crazy - but I see that it exists and looks amazing. There is more to the world of curries than just Japanese curry. I do love me my japanese curry though. CoCo Ichibanya is a a nice chain imo.

I didn't make these. I ate them. AND THEY WERE ALL SUPER DELICIOUS. First though, a couple easter eggs. Black Mission Fig Sticky Toffee Pudding Tres Leches chocolate, almond streussel, caramel panna cotta. Grilled Striped Bass, Black Rice, Ginger & Lemongrass Broth, Pomelo, Toasted Cashews, Fresh Chopped Coconut, Mint Fried Chicken Mark’s New School Chile Verde Pork Tamales, Creamy Avocado Salsa, Shredded Escabeche Carrots, Pickled Red Onion, Queso Fresco, Cilantro Kurobuta Pork Belly Steam Bun, Guacamole, Radish Someone else has the pictures of the seared scallop crudo and the lamb fried rice. I don't like raw meat/seafood or Lamb. Both make me want to gag.

Perhaps manipulating aether is a much more different beast than using it in combat. Teleporting requires a great amount of it and a great deal of concentration. Perhaps the use of aether in combat does not require finesse with aether manipulation or a great deal. Think you missed these posts. The direct quote from Y'shtola in English version is: "As a result, I strongly suspect that his ability to manipulate aether has been compromised. Simply put, Thancred may no longer be able to wield magicks. It would do much to explain why he chose to remain within the wilderness instead of seeking us out. He would have been compelled to rely solely on traditional methods of travel, significantly prolonging his journey. And when he learned that..." As I posited earlier, teleporting requires great deal of actual supply and -control-. Wielding and manipulating aether and magic may be a completely different deal than aether being unconsciously or subconsciously to enhance one's body. A lalafell vs a roegadyn or a highlander in physical combat for example. A lalafell would not be concentrating so much to wield or manipulate aether so much so that the nature of a race is to just use what -we- consider to be super human feats. Or you know, it's just natural to do those we consider super-human and aether is doing jack squat.

That's occurred to me as well.

Is it possible that Emmannellian has different thoughts about how the House should be compared to Artoirel. Artoirel strikes me as a dutibound type, more like Haucherfant than Emmannellian. Perhaps Emmannellian is worried about his place in the house now that his father is stepping down.

Urianger strikes me as the "wait and see" type. I am quite interested in what's at work here, and well can't work with much else but to speculate. Urianger's looking at this tome (I don't recall its significance but it seemed like it was trying to state that he had or we had heard of it before) that he's being told, "This is the real deal here. Not those other tomes, this one." And I have to wonder, what if there is something to that? Hydaelyn is getting weaker. Her Crystals of Light are evidence of this. What if part of this balance spiel is for that too? Why would the -now- Warriors of Darkness go with this? They too fought with Ascians. What changed their minds?

Something I realized though about the length of the MSQ. Previous 2.X MSQ quests were -filled- with fetch/be someone's bitch type of quests. I know a lot of people were bored and annoyed by it, some of the quests didn't have much substance to it either. To me, it felt like the 3.1 MSQ didn't have... well, filler.

This happens now.

An issue in “The Diadem” wherein all members of a pre-formed party may be unable to enter properly. *Regarding the separate issue in which only certain party members cannot enter properly, it has been confirmed and is still under continued investigation. * As a temporary countermeasure, the time the next airship exploratory mission will be available for the ship which was used to enter “The Diadem” from your Company Workshop’s Flight Control Panel has been changed from 20min to 5min. An issue wherein you will be unable to summon your retainer if you queue and enter a duty with your retainer still summoned. * For players who were unable to summon their retainer, this fix allows you to summon them again. *There was also a related issue in which the purchase would fail when trying to purchase items that were put up for sale in the marketplace by the retainer who was unable to be summoned, but this issue has also been fixed. A rare issue in “The Diadem” wherein the time limit may expire almost immediately upon entering. An issue in “The Sunken Temple of Qarn (Hard)” wherein players may be unable to progress. An issue wherein characters designated as a housemate may not be able to teleport to the house properly. An issue wherein field servers may crash under certain conditions. An issue with the Vanu Vanu Beast Tribe Quests wherein, when a player's reputation with the Vanu Vanu ranks up and additional bonus quests become available to the player, quests that have already been completed and cannot be accepted again on the same day become selected. * To address this issue, we have made changes to the Vanu Vanu Beast Tribe Quests system so that only newly added quests will be candidates for bonus quests. With this, all players who have ranked up on the same day will be able to accept the same number of quests.

Update to the investigations! http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/news/detail/996bf5ef4b4f2ac8668638554d819c846522e5f3 We sincerely apologize for several urgent issues that have been occurring since Patch 3.1 went live, such as becoming unable to summon retainers and issues with “The Diadem”. We would like to provide an update on the current situation regarding the investigation and handling of these urgent issues. [issues to be addressed in an emergency maintenance scheduled for Nov. 12, 2015] ・An issue wherein you will be unable to summon your retainer if you had queued and entered a duty with your retainer still summoned. * For players currently unable to summon their retainer, you will become able to summon them again after this fix is implemented. * For all players, please follow the preventative measures below until this issue has been addressed: - Refrain from summoning your retainer when queueing in the duty finder. - If you have already summoned your retainer when you get matched in the duty finder, please dismiss your retainer before entering the instance. ・A rare issue in “The Diadem” wherein the time limit may expire almost immediately upon entering. ・An issue in “The Sunken Temple of Qarn (Hard)” wherein players may be unable to progress. ・An issue wherein characters designated as a housemate may not be able to teleport to the house properly. ・An issue wherein field servers may crash under certain conditions. ・An issue with the Vanu Vanu Beast Tribe Quests wherein, when a player's reputation with the Vanu Vanu ranks up and additional bonus quests become available to the player, quests that have already been completed but cannot be accepted again on the same day are offered. ○Detailed Explanation Players are able to accept up to three Vanu Vanu Beast Tribe per day. When your reputation with the Vanu Vanu tribe ranks up, you will be able to accept additional daily quests beyond that three-per-day restriction as a bonus for ranking up. However, there is an issue wherein previously completed quests are included in the bonus quest candidate pool, and if one of the previously completed quests is selected by the system to be a bonus quest, it will not appear for the player. When this occurs, the number of quests that can be accepted per day will be reduced. To address this issue, we are making changes to the Vanu Vanu Beast Tribe Quests system so that only newly added quests will candidates for being bonus quests. With this, all players who have ranked up on the same day will be able to accept the same number of quests. Please note that bonus quests do not appear for players whose reputation with the Vanu Vanu is at ranks 7 and 8. * The 6 issues above are planned to be addressed in an emergency maintenance on Nov. 12, 2015.
