that is exactly it. it seemed like every WoL player i ran into was running on thirst and looking for any possible in.

I'm going to block you soon but the only reason I haven't blocked you back is because I think it's funny to see you unblock me whenever we're in a mutual's Plurk together

Make your snooping less obvious

You’ll have to be lightning fast next time you catch them because you can’t block someone who already has you blocked on plurk

i don’t know why you think that because WoL OCs love (most) NPC characters, doubly so if they play hot ones that everyone lusts over

they probably mean from the actual roleplay community within ffxiv. it's rare to see WoLs there, ime, and most NPC players are cosplay accounts or joke accounts.

i think it'd be neat if dwrp games banned wols but allowed setting ocs in games, the kind with no canon npc relationships allowed, which is what most people in the xiv community play.

This is exactly what I meant, and I like that idea a lot

uh no

i've been in the game from the start and fate/ was barely there. we had like one or two who apped and then dropped within two months

the game did have a lot of mihoyos and chinese wizards at the start

anon...are you mixing up games.....

you can on the mobile app

why would you try to lie about something that is easily, publicly available to check

the comment i responded to explicitly specified dreamwidth in here: https://wankgate.dreamwidth.org/66525.html?thread=268639965#cmt268639965

i'd also disgree that all NPC accounts are only jokes/cosplay. there are definitely some that are RPing as NPCs, but usually ones like the heavenwards knights. there was a nanamo running around on balmung a few years back too. they aren't that common though since as mentioned above most people are playing OCs with no canon relationships to NPCs.

however that doesn't automatically make them better because i have seen some truly insane backstories like characters being dragons in disguise, the secret love child from the garlean royal family, secret princes/princesses on the run, etc. because some people absolutely can't stand not being the center of attention or the story revolving around them.

cast caps weren't all that common until the homestuck era when it became extremely apparent that they were needed. then i feel like mcu made it obvious we needed franchise caps too. when there's a popular canon with a massive cast, your game will be overrun no matter how big it is, and it sucks for the other players.

right now it's the hoyoverse canons and i wish more games would cap that as a franchise instead of separate cast caps for genshin and honkai

with the addition of zzz i actually agree a franchise cap would be nice

not needed imo. i have yet to be in a game where a cast was taking over the game to the detriment of other players, no matter how big.

where i HAVE run into problems was when groups of friends apped in but were all playing from different casts. a cast cap would have had zero effect on them but they were ten times cliquier than even the biggest canon cast i've seen in a game.

oh this was supposed to be responding to that anon claiming there were a ton of fates, replied to the wrong comment my b

very funny how the taken list sure is right there for anybody to check tho yeah lmao

would you also consider a franchise cap for, say, mass effect and dragon age in a hypothetical scenario where these were big enough currently to hit a cast cap

i don't do the anime and i play the gachas in passing, as in i'd never play a character from that, but i have to point out that's a dumb idea. it'd be like demanding disney or pixar all be in a 'franchise'. genshin and hsr and zzz are completely different games. different characters. different concepts. different lore. wuwa isn't even part of it either, and that's the new one people are slapping up too. claiming it's a franchise is like saying that frozen and tangled and brave all need to be under the same cast cap because 'there's easter eggs that tie them together and haha, disney'.

making hoyo a canon would be the same as making wizards of the coast a franchise.

Lbr people have definitely tried to cap disney cartoons as a franchise before so maybe that's not the best example to get it through their head

it'd be more like trying to cap star wars and mcu as a franchise just because they're under the same company umbrella and happen to both be la

+1 pretty sure some games had Disney as a cap before, but that was I think before MCU was a thing since they fall under Disney. I know Final Fantasies have had franchise caps and those games are mostly unrelated except for being called Final Fantasy.

i don't know that much about final fantasy, but i know most every version i've seen have moogles and a person named cid who's an old important guy. plus there's the job mechanics that don't seem to vary much. i'm playing genshin and hsr and wuwa and there's a pretty wide difference in things like elements, jobs, 'paths' and pets.

Wuwa is by a completely different company than genshin and hsr.

holy shit

the more you know

'continue to suck' is right

AI didn't start a new era of light novels sucking; they always have. they sucked in 2004 when i snapped them up like they were gold despite the shit writing/translations and they continue to suck twenty years later in tyool 2024

spoilers

they'll suck twenty more years from now too

wait a minute

final fantasy has biggs and wedge

star wars also has biggs and wedge

we should have been capping final fantasy and star wars under the same franchise all along

i know. but it's often lumped in the same group context and there's a lot of comparisons of gameplay. the look and play can be similar, so i know it's kuro, but it clearly plays a lot off genshin.
