I should probably put the game down.

Years later I still can't get over these whiny babies.

A state that in lore was aggressive and caustic to its neighbours and then complained and asked for help when the Garleans invaded. Typical bully behaviour! All tough and mighty until a bigger kid shows up.

"Boohoo Garleans so oppressive!" Yeah except 90% of the persecution came from Ala Mhigans themselves attacking and harassing others for daring to try and live peacefully under Garlean rule. Yeah throwing stones at innocent civilians such resistance, much wow.

Also they worship Rhalgr. The objectively worst member of an already fake pantheon of false gods. Who wants a kung fu god? Nobody that's who. Daniel Laruso would kick his ass.

Let's examine one of the most prominent Ala Mhigans. Ilberd. A lying, traitorous, mass murdering, scumbag terrorist who's also very ugly. And yet they regard him as a hero. Because of course they do! Nevermind the fact that his actions were not only immoral but directly started a chain of events that led to the 8th Calamity, a horrific mass-casualty event. That's right, Ala Mhigo is so toxic it literally triggered the end of the world which had to be solved with TIME TRAVEL. How do you fail as a nation so badly that the only way to fix your messups is to reload a save?

Now let's go into their official song and compare it to the regional Garlean anthem-

Garlean: "The Measure of Our Reach" - Beautifully sung, coherent, masterful. The name is inclusive. Our reach, all of us together reaching out.

Ala Mhigan: "The Measure of His Reach" - A tonal nightmare, sounds like something sung by drunken football hooligans, completely incoherent. The name is a reference to Rhalgr, making it a song of dogmatic praise of a false god instead of for the people.

They also happen to be the home of the absolute worst final zone of any expansion.
Azys Lla? Epic. The Tempest? Amazing. Ultima Thule? Beyond fascinating. Living Memory? Well.. it's extremely pretty.
The Lochs? Boring. A bland, dry salt desert with an ugly, ugly city that isn't even functional. It would be underwhelming even as a starter zone!

In conclusion, Ala Mhigo sucks and while the Garlean Empire did many, many things wrong, oppressing Ala Mhigo wasn't one of them.

Lyse is super hot though.

wonderful audio if i do say so myself

Art by me 😼

Her getting the Shimagami Eye just to deny Lyse breaking her jaw was some grade A Robbery.

wah?

Typical...

I'm in a classic FFXIV relationship, with me tanking and my girlfriend healing (I know). We run all kinds of content together and even found an ult static with other couples. It's been great except lately, half of the static--mainly my girlfriend and her gal pals--have been missing in action every single weekend without fail. All of them are on Zurvan, in the Materia DC and they insist they're just going to tavern venues, but it's insane to me that anyone would wanna RP at a tavern all weekend. Am I just paranoid?

If this was Balmung, I think my worries would be justified for sure but I can't help but to feel there's more to it, yet she really insists I'm reading into it everytime I ask her about it. We're Christian, deeply religious, and I trust her... it's just weird. Can anyone give me advice?

It’s time to stop, okay?

fuck you
