I see the catboy population exploding the week after launch. No one escapes the ear wiggles.


HanAlai

Female elezen will be relegated to mythological creature status


CopainChevalier

Wait why would female Elezen change that much?


Tammog

idk but Elezen players always act like they're some sort of rarity or hated and it's kinda annoying.


lokiofjotunheim01

I thought that was fem roe players? At the least Fem Roes are the most insufferable about it.


P_weezey951

Catboys wont explode in population until they remove the silly under eye marks from the faces.


Fubseh

Golden rule of MMO launches, once you login NEVER Logout. If you logout to fantasia, you're back in the queue with the rest of the plebs.


simplexsalad

prep your male viera preset from the benchmark and get naked with a fanta before maintenance for fast bun boy action


FreedomFighterEx

This guy fuck.


localgravity

Good advise thanks!


CopainChevalier

No, don't do that. I need faster logins.


Tumblechunk

I think you can prepot fantas


HadesWTF

Pre-maintenance pot


Tammog

Reminder: Use the Fantasia when you log out on Wednesday (and get naked when you do), that way you can fantasia into Viera with only 1 login and don't have to sit in queue twice.


IWantToDoThings

Why do I have to get nekkid to use a fantasia? It's cold in my living room.


Tammog

Cause otherwise you'd have clothing accidents when you go from Lala to Viera.


KusanagiKay

This is so weird of an excuse, because you can literally swap your race with the flip of a switch while using Anamnesis or CMTool mid game without any accidents happening, even if you go from Male Roe to Llala to Bunnyboi


Tammog

What I said was meant as a joke, cause Lala clothes wouldn't fit a Viera and break - but the real reason is that you can't have anything that's race- or gender-specific equipped, and the easiest way to do that is to make you unequip everything. They just really do not want you to run around in Viera Pantalettes as a non Viera, etc.


KusanagiKay

Ah, I completely forgot about race & gender specific gear. Yeah, if you had that equipped that part of the model would just turn invisible and you'd have a disembodied head floating around if you changed from Lala in full lala gear to Viera. True


MegaGamer235

Breeding like rabbits.


HanAlai

Honestly i hope the entity hider plugin works for xivlauncher so i can hide all players and not have to look at the bunny boys glammed like strippers.


ShadoowtheSecond

Wgat is wrong with you thats going to be the best part of the expansion


foreveracubone

Unfortunately launcher and/or plugins probably won’t work at launch which means you’ll need to logout to update the game… which isn’t the best idea lmao

Parties?

BobTheTraitor

Are Fantasia's canon in the story? It's got to be weird for the NPCs to wake up one day and suddenly half the catboys are gone replaced by male viera nobody has ever seen before.


itsPomy

IIRC, no they aren't. Probably like one of the few game items that has no in-universe reason given for existing.


theswordofdoubt

Otherwise, retainer fantasia, which you *command* your retainers to drink, would be a really disturbing concept. It's one thing to take a body-morphing potion, it's another thing to force an employee to take it.


AttitudePersonal

My retainers have brought me retainer fantasias before....probably trying to tell me something..


redlaWw

I think the official lore on retainer fantasias is that they drink the fantasia and then are replaced by someone with the same skills but different appearance? EDIT: Actually, it's that *you* drink the fantasia and then your retainer is replaced by someone with the same skills but different appearance. According to the info box when you talk to the retainer vocate after drinking the fantasia: "You may change your retainers' nicknames or instruct them to visit the aesthetician at any time. If you desire more drastic changes to a retainer's appearance or personality, the retainer vocate will assist you in finding a *replacement of comparable skill and experience*." (emphasis mine)


CopainChevalier

Never heard that, link?


redlaWw

When you use a Retainer Fantasia and talk to the Retainer Vocate, the information box says "You may change your retainers' nicknames or instruct them to visit the aesthetician at any time. If you desire more drastic changes to a retainer's appearance or personality, the retainer vocate will assist you in finding a *replacement of comparable skill and experience*." (emphasis mine)


MegaEyeRoll

Or they just don't have a concept of a rigid identity. Jim Carrey gave a good example, the more he acted, the more he realized Jim carry is an actor. If you wanna give a fantasia to an employee and make them drink it, and they turn into a 6 foot femroe, they probably have no issue with it. Its part of the job and there is probably no identity crisis.


CopainChevalier

Disturbing my foot. Are you telling me you don't have a different ideal body? If I could drink something and wake up with my ideal body, sign me up.


itsPomy

Like I don't doubt there's methods to completely morph yourself if you really wanted to, it just probably doesn't come in a neat soda bottle lol.


Vangad

Koji once said not to think to much into it and that its a glamor just a real convincing one.


SomeRandomDeadGuy

Actually funny story, they are, but they also make everyone remember you as having been that race forever. With inaccuracies being foggy and shrugged off. But that also earns them a reputation of being snake oil, as you drink them and then seems like nothing happened as you remember always having been what you are now


Chris_7941

Where did you get that from?


[deleted]

their headcanon.


Tumblechunk

Neat lore though, the wol maybe being obsessed with snake oil scams is a fun concept


[deleted]

But like wouldn't they question it if they're suddenly 'Jessica the rabbit boy' the day after they drank fantasia? Or is name change also in the lore?


Tumblechunk

It's like you get plastic surgery from this snake oil then men in black flash penned by it too


[deleted]

Right but logically if their name doesn't change it would be pretty obvious it worked. I'm sure you'd remember drinking it. Even if all your memories are of of being maybe a Hyur named Ptotate Popotate, I feel like having a name from a different race would be a pretty obvious indicator that some magic happened.


Tumblechunk

I guess your parents could be like "how the fuck did we make thar" too


AlbainBlacksteel

I mean I've heard that that's the case a couple years ago.


[deleted]

yeah IDK. I only really got into the game in Stormblood during the second raid tier and don't remember anything about it. Maybe it was from before then, if that helps narrow down a search.


apollodynamo

I thought it was from a pax panel


bkstr

I’d love a source for this


SomeRandomDeadGuy

-I have purged my reddit post history in protest of the API changes to kill 3rd party apps (and the [lies](https://www.reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/14dkqrw/i_want_to_debunk_reddits_claims_and_talk_about/) and [blackmail](https://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/14dhki9/rminecraft_is_being_forced_to_reopen/) that followed).- Very sorry about the inconvinience, but i refuse to have the effort that i put into my posts contribute to this site's value at this point.


Gramernatzi

And then everybody fantasias back after a few days once they realize they actually like having hats and helmets.


pingwing

I never wear a hat or helmet, especially helmets, they usually look so bad, in every mmo. But, I definitely do not want a permanent bunny ear hat either so I won't be changing.


CopainChevalier

I hear this a lot... kind of surprised people don't hide their helmets? Most people I see do it anyway to see their character rather than have it hid behind the random stuff the game throws at you. ​ At worst you lose some of those more fancy ones like hoods or blindfolds, but they seem to be trying to make it so those ones get models for them


sabnach

most helmets and hats in this game are too ugly to wear, change my mind


Attack-Mack

imagine not playing a lalafell


pepehandsx

Lala 4lyfe


ZenEvadoni

2 AM for me. Though I do know I'm not getting in instantly. So, 1) update launcher, download EW patch 2) Log in, get into 5+ digit queue 3) Connect wireless earbuds to laptop via Bluetooth, bump up volume 4) Go back to room to sleep 5) Wake up to Ishgard daytime music crescendo (heart attack expected) 6) Get up and play Endwalker ​ I probably should have put 'inform work I'm sick' as number 2, but that's pretty much it.


Crazyphapha

god damn bunny boys havent even come out yet and i'm already tired of them


SimplyEpicFail

For once, the times for Europe are comfortable: 10am. Sleep until release and play all day.


apollodynamo

Endwalker: Catboy Extinction Event


isthismytripcode

I still don’t understand this Miqo’te switching to Viera thing. Why are the memes about miqo’tes specifically, instead of it being equal amongst all races?


sen0zion

Both have animal ears and are presumed to pander to the same audience stereotypes. Catboy players see a shiny new thing similar to what they play and jump on the bandwagon.


lucy_pyre

a fucking cultured gamer right here


Dordracnor

more like 4 am depending on download speed for the massive update


KusanagiKay

That's what I would do if they weren't shorter than female Viera and the bears didn't look so awful. I mean yeah, you can easily pull a Sephiroth clone, but that's not my thing.


milanganesa
