Over a year later, this project is done.
I call it Chronofoil.
It's a plugin that captures all game packets between the client and server that occurs during an FFXIV gameplay session. Actions, inventory, retainers, the login process, everything.
I'm brainstorming ideas on a new project for the preservation and research of XIV. However, it's testing the boundaries of what players would be comfortable with. The idea is to capture ALL TRAFFIC between the client and server and archive and store it somewhere.

it's horrifying because the Americans in question don't see it as "those in Asian countries are considerate of others", they simply begin to think "those in Asian countries must be disease-ridden" because they can't fathom being considerate of others
Sorry but if any of these in-game ToS changes are going to change the way you play FFXIV, you were already behaving inappropriately for an online game.
Heads up, there has been no change in the Terms of Use that relate to AI usage whatsoever.
This person's fearmongering is based on the idea that all verbiage changed from "Twitter" to "X Corp", which is kind of an umbrella term for different projects/companies.
XIV community when the longer patch cycle was announced: "That's awesome we love to see less crunch and more time taken to make content"
XIV community after experiencing the longer patch cycle: "What the fuck goin on"
remember kids if your party forgot about a treasure coffer you do not have to open it for them. wait till they leave at the end of the dungeon and accept your fine prizes directly into your inventory
So if Dawntrail is bad we know the first thing we're gonna hear is "maybe if they spent less time on the stupid character creator rework for the benchmark it would be a better expansion" or something ridiculous like that
Yes, this is the kind of bullshit that GShade is working on, rather than bothering to implement a more sensible update system. The installer RESTARTS YOUR SYSTEM if it detects it's not being run "properly". Continued...
conservative XIV players be like
"THEIR destination???? is my character MULTIPLE PEOPLE??? did final fantasy go WOKE???? why are they using ENGLISH INCORRECTLY!!!!"
OK over the past few days i've taken a bunch of screenshots at angles Square Enix doesn't want you to see! here's an album of 210 screenshots of XIV raid and 24 man zones:
one of the best Heavensward release bugs was that the achievement reward for beating the two EX primals was mixed up with the reward for unlocking flying for your personal chocobo
so once you unlocked personal chocobo flying, you got the title "Finder of False Gods"
This is now available via XIVQuickLauncher. Enable in-game add-ons in the settings of the launcher, type "/xlplugins" in game, and install PrefPro from the menu
I see a lot of people sharing things like "90% of mods won't break!" and while you might use different mods than other people, that's just not true. Any gear mod with a mtrl file will look like this if it's not updated for DT.
This is how gear from retail looks in the DT bench.
It's so funny that we've been begging SE to make account management and billing more simplified for 10 years and instead of doing that they made it even more complicated for no reason
Hey, Xbox friends! ๐
We've released more information regarding the Xbox Series X|S version of
#FFXIV
ahead of the official launch on March 21!

I didn't think I'd ever see it but it's 2022. We're in 6.25 and I see people saying they wouldn't mind having *accuracy* back in FFXIV. Tell me you didn't play ARR/HW without telling me you didn't play ARR/HW.
I don't think most people know that XIV has a one way friends list. You can remove someone from your friends list but you're still on theirs! It's complete garbage!
SE: "Here are five distinct currencies for Bozja."
Players: "Great, I can put these in my currencies tab."
SE: "..."
Players: "I can put these in my currencies tab... right?"
Common myth: "If SE hasn't added anti-cheat by now, they'll never add it"
Truth: SE has been adding "anti-cheat" for years now, just not with PunkBuster or EAC or anything like that.
if you try to tell me that using the orchestrion plugin or the ping plugin or chat bubbles is as bad as using zoomhacks i'm just going to write you off and block you honestly
I respect Sindalf too much for a guy who doesn't own a bedframe. But this take is too shit I just had to say something.
There is no difference in difficulty between pressing 1 2 3 or pressing 1 1 1. That is all. Thanks.
Few things to mention since I didn't think this would blow up (else I would have added more context)
- No this is not "spaghetti code"
- No this is not the cause of any lag
- This is likely distinct systems querying for character gender to perform their tasks properly
"Players should not use weapons 100 item levels below the expected in content"
"You need to touch grass!!!"
I had "touch grass" on my schedule but your shitty gear made this dungeon take so fucking long that I couldn't make it.

No, the battle log cannot tell you what damage type something was by saying "readies" versus "begins casting." But what can tell you is Damage Info, my plugin on the main Dalamud plugins repository.
Honestly FFXIV Twitter is no place to be if you're not mentally prepared. Remember that dude who kicked himself out of his own made up band and constantly posted about a made up girlfriend?
This guy just admitted that he implemented this specifically because of NotNite's installer software, and also claimed that if he did anything worse, that it would have been NotNite's fault for "distributing it to people and triggering it."
"it's not a stretch to assume the person with an i430 weapon in Zot is the lowest DPS"
"you have to be trolling right now"
it's been 10 years and this is the kind of player that square enix has fostered
I didn't want to take away from the importance of the message from the other day by promoting software, so I refrained from mentioning this. This is Penumbra, a runtime mod-loader for FFXIV, built as a plugin for FFXIV's quick launcher.
the fact that GShade devs put in so much work on forcing you to update rather than adding in useful new features is crazy to me. I hear every single time there's an update about people losing all of their shader configurations or some shit. Focus on providing good software,
Shadowbringers relic be like "Do Palace of the Dead floors 190-199 twenty times. On the twentieth time Misija will appear and hand you Bozjan Toenail Clippings. At the end of the Dalriada, use the clippings and harvest an item from the boss in a difficult QTE. Do this 5 times."
