I think you can change the file output as well. I switch back to jpeg and they are def lower quality but I wanted the lower size
yeah I know but I wanna avoid using Twitter, I unlinked it from my PSN awhile back
besides Twitter is also a serious butcher of image quality 
I know they recently added ability to link with discord
but where's the ass pic
the garudussy 
On your PS5 drive last I checked so when you gonna share? 
i'm about to go in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
he actually looks so cute
i don't mind how his fur looks bc at least he's not human 😭
OMGGGGG

I am so 
he's such a good boy

So watching Elise (as in Jiangshi not my OC lol, streamer Lorie raided) going through it with FF16 and, Lor I think you two could easily be besties, she gives off the same vibe and reactions that you do 
What's the policy on posting clips from another stream, if we have one? Because Jiangshi just had the exact same reaction to Torgal doing his backflip KO that Lorie did and I thought posting the clips side by side would be fun
Yes they’re super lovely!! I’m glad I got the chance to raid
You know who he reminds me of? It took me a long time but I finally figured it out. He reminds me of a younger jensen ackles
Isn't he voicing Batman now in the new DC animated movies?
obsessed with how artists are drawing clive because they're all agreeing that he looks 2 seconds away from bursting into tears bc of his big eyes and i agree
He is so babygirl coded……gonna bite my fist
He eepy

Don’t ask why i decided to spam torgal at 6:40am just enjoy it
That’s a gif if it doesn’t load for anyone just click on it you should see it 
Discord load my gifs on mobile challenge
When I tell you this part gagged me
the swing he did 😭
I literally have no stopped thinking about this since it happened like it lives in my mind rent free 25/7
I needed these torgal pics tho

You’re welcome

Gonna be staring at these while I’m the dentist chair this morning … and then while making very stressful phone calls later 
babz
good luck with the phone calls, you got this!!
im editing the next part for ff16 and i was just thinking about how clive's relationships with everyone are influenced by his trauma and past experiences
the one scene where he leaves torgal and cid behind and he feels the need to apologize even though it can't be helped because he feels like if something were to happen to them it would be his fault
I love this scorpio man
im kinda obsessed with him
I am so obsessed with him
He has a lot of moments that remind me of Shulk 
he reminds me of zack fair but not personality wise, more like puppy wise 
He reminds me of an orange cat. Head empt only vibes (but they’re bad vibes because he’s traumatized)
Just a little bit of stupidity to make me go 
losing my mind at cid coughing his lungs out after priming and torgal just doing a lil sniff sniff to check on him
the way i typed koga instead of torgal first and i had to delete it 
LOL
He really do be like that 😭 just more aggressive. Will sense you’re not doing okay and jump in your face to give you emergency kisses or smoosh you by trying to sit in your lap

Need an emergency Koga 
thinking about this
dont open this in a new window, the recommended popular clips have spoilers in them lmao
Catching up on Lorie’s playthru and Gav is just so important
im going thru it
i was too busy thinking about how clive is naked but i didnt even realize that when it fades to black, you can hear his sobs

I just still wanna know why they had to tie him up nekkid. Like give my man some privacy he was going thru it 😭
right like what was the reason if you were gonna free him anyway like 5 mins after he woke up
and then cid calling him pretty like ????
also saying "i can take you, if that's what you want"
i appreciate the homoeroticism cid, but my mans is going thru it
Right like it was not the time
The way I took a screenshot of this and almost sent it to you like 10 times
Cid was ready to offer his bussy for Clive and like so real I’m telling y’all that cid is gay coded as fuck!
same 
Thinking about my girl benedikta 

She should’ve been with me! Then she’d still be fine!
Honestly I love her. That first fight was so raw and emotional like I felt that. And then they expanded on it………like she’s still fine idgaf what yoship said!
im mad because she was so isolated to the very end
like i know cid tried to get her to come with him, but she was just scared, you can't really promise a woman that's been through what she's been that things will be okay in an uncertain environment, knowing the possibility that you will be hunted together, i wouldn't go with him either
i just think men screwed her over and she deserved more after what happened to her
i'm very sad about benedikta as well ;o;
her character reminded me so much of someone who has been rejected all her life and treated like garbage. she finally had something that was HERS that she could be proud of after so many people had used her. then the thing got taken away. she was putting her self worth as well probably into how she could affect men but cid was different for her and i think that was kind of like her last rejection almost?
Her character had so much potential im just like 😭
yeah, for sure, you could see that after her trauma with men, she decided to weaponize it instead by attracting all of them and using them for survival purposes only. which honestly, i have a lot to say in general about how these types of stories are handled, cause regardless of how i feel about her, the SA plotline followed by such pain was just... really discouraging for me. you could see most of it was a façade because she was just scared, she took pride in the one thing that could protect her and then even that was gone 
https://twitter.com/finalfantasyxvi/status/1673362742210621441?s=46&t=BqUKgvkKEDaWv0SgKnfw4Q off topic rq but the way the official Twitter is giving instructions bc people are BEING RUDE
how didn't people get it in the first 5 mins 
i better see a 100% by the end of this month
And not even that she took pride in her power. It was the fact that that power kept her PROTECTED. That was her bargaining chip to keep alive! And then it was taken from her and she KNEW that she had lost her only foothold that separated her from the others and that she was probably gonna get used AGAIN
That was her only way of surviving in the world. Id fr breakdown too
That’s why I liked that scene after Clive initially took her powers away
She was DEVASTATED the fact that the VA and the animators were able to make it so raw had me in awe of her I love benedikta
I like that we all have diff views about her character. It’s really cool!!
we talking about benna?

cause if so, yall gonna have to wait for my book out this summer "bennedikta: the best character of ffxvi and why she deserved more than what she was given. the story of how once more they used a woman's abusive past as a weapon against her"
i have more things to say, but i'll wait until everyone's finished
good things though
Your opinions are always so right and so true let’s kiss rn
The way Torgal is making me want to get a dog tho

I hope that people who love Clive play XC:DE to discover Shulk. They are both actually so similar
This description of Clive is literally Shulk’s as well
Ok but who are the other 63% percent so i can off them
I love them
I keep seeing things and being like XENOBLADE ?!
I’m glad we had the same thought - https://twitter.com/legendoflorie/status/1673364432687190021?s=46&t=BqUKgvkKEDaWv0SgKnfw4Q
This unlocked a core memory and I’m grateful for you sharing
Caught up to stream and OOF Benedikta!!!! Shame her trauma is how we learn Clive is a FF Protagonist (very GoT, adding it to the list) but the acting and the exploration of why she’s grieving is so impactful. Dominants are definitely abused by their kingdoms as the resident megazord, but it’s still “safer” than being a Branded, or being a woman in general in Valisthea. It’s a shit safety as she showed us, and that just made it so painful
every ti me i tab in here clive is crying
LMAO 😭
Torgal versus Garuda https://twitter.com/mediumsizemeech/status/1673477677632696326?s=46&t=WTCUUJlLz-ecI3qa2EaUdA
That dog said I’ve had enough of this dress you beast!

https://twitter.com/incorrectffqts/status/1673714800684040195?s=46&t=WTCUUJlLz-ecI3qa2EaUdA
Lives rent free in my brain
Look how smol he is
Gonna end up torgal spamming again for serotonin and dopamine he’s so smol 
It’s what we deserve
ITS TRUE
😭😭😭
look at my dog lifts him up 
LMAO
reading ben talk about clive is actually making me cry 
i know too well the feeling of "this character saved my life". the thought of something fictional saving you while also being able to participate in it and give him a voice, thus being able to make it a part of you 
Ash is so real for asking this
i knwo what ship
Cid/Clive I know he whispered in my ear
waiting for more artists and writers to finish the game 
spotted a wip of clive in a corset and its starting but i need more
aiden knows who my otp is
oh look the bi flag colors so true
Dulci I wanna know 👀 but idk if I’m there yet 
not yet babz
I love Jill so much. Also love how they have Clive breasting boobily and not her
clive keeps getting objectified and its taking me out 😭 like as it should be but also they should've given my mans some clothes while he was thinking about how he killed his own brother
oh shut up lmaoo
It’s cause they’ve deprived us for years and were feral now
babz gets me
i say strip him more
they gave him skinny leather pants and a tight corset. i'm down
I actually am with Aiden on this one there’s no reason they did that except to fodder AO3
im saying LMAOO
he was sobbing ass up and i was just like
i dont know what to do with this but i do love u
he does have a very nice body though, they got me there 
but i don't disagree that it was wtf
i'm just saying that i liked it
i raised my eyebrow while my tongue was out
it was the stupidest thing ever. absolutely no reason for him to be naked lol
and i ate every single minute of it
👏
i'm just glad that for once it's a man being objectified
we need more naked clive but hopefully in less ...... sad conditions 
but i need more, they're right for it
Cid didn’t have to say he could take him like that and call him pretty when the man was going thru it
We deserved the scene minus the trauma 
Cid likes a sad, pathetic man and he’s so right for that
he didn't have to be naked. period
a full on breakdown scene that ended in a bum shot
they saved the bum shot for the very end, like a cherry on top
and for what lol
I feel that bum shot was for the streamers lol
“Trauma followed by lulz, can’t lose”
you know, i was also kinda grateful for it because he says the most depressing, most suicidal things in that scene so i was like... a lot of people will see your ass and frankly that's a great distraction from getting triggered
I’m just grateful Ben Starr is being such a good sport about it all. Imagine putting your whole dussy into a role and then dealing with the aftermath of people drooling over your game persona with your voice attached
he really is doing fantastic
the emotional scenes, especially the one where clive cries really hit
the entire cast has been delivering sm
a puppy
He is the
emoji and I love him
I'm happy this game is being so well recieved because I know lots of people were very wary for different reasons in the weeks leading up to launch
And I mean the people with actual concerns not the "Not My Final Fantasy!" mouthbreathers
I was so on the fence abt it 😭 but I really love it
omg 😭!!!

it's so cute 
loe ff16 cosplay contest when
I think someone did that pre release actually …
An eikon cosplay contest
No wait that was for the panda bosses 
his sad eyes and soft boobs have captivated me 
i saw a bennedikta cosplay earlier and she looked so amazing
truly can't wait for more art to come out of this game
truly
me about benna
I want to lick his teeth and bite his lips
No biting be gentle 
Just a little nibble. I’ll kiss it better after
I am called out 
https://twitter.com/iinn0_0/status/1673959864677318656?s=20
My rough translations:
Clive:"there's something on torgal's head"
Cid: "Clive let's go"
"push Clive:"Torgal~" push
Cid: "Clive!"
Clive: "here you go boy" munch
Cid: "Clive I'm gonna leave you"
[PHOTO MODE] Clive: "A little to the right"
Cid: "CLIIIIIIVEEE 😠 "
https://vxtwitter.com/shiroginko/status/1674137290573234178?t=eEct5J5kfanNBHhbfHe2Wg&s=19 more crying clive
It adds to the….how do you say……essence of his soul
3 million people have watched Clive cry.

it was some real good crying too, he did a great job 
Jill and Clive this is so cute https://twitter.com/misssusannahf/status/1650918165927321601?s=46&t=WTCUUJlLz-ecI3qa2EaUdA

Missing them. Excited to play and not be so distracted today LOL
I was rewatching the Twitch vid and several Clive’s spotted 👀
hello twitch staff watching the stream 👁️
editing the next part for ff16 and
so amazed by how expressive he is
like you can see how depressed he is at the thought of remembering what he's done and his fear and then he takes a sniff of the fresh air and his eyes light up and he smiles
devastated 
Gonna lick his face
im ngl tho while his situation is unrealistic due to the fantasy setting, i really disagree with people calling him edgy because his mental health journey is so real 😭 im pretty sure yoshida made a comment on it at some point too and he said that that's what they wanted to focus on with him
People who call him edgy are people who have zero media literacy and also never healed their trauma and never will
COWARD! You infodump right now so we can appreciate you!
He’s like the opposite of edgy to me Omgggg
Batman is edgy. Clive is softboy trying to make sense of the world he’s in
Like he occasionally gets Batman voice which I guess is kinda edgy but otherwise I can’t think of that many depictions of male pro tags that are shown going thru and processing
emotions and crying and
Me 🤝 Babz
Batman
i think it's funny because to me, there's no ff protag that could be described as that. people say that about cloud and that's probably one of the weirdest mischaracterizations of him 😭 same with squall
oh and lightning too
she is so gentle
Snow's face would disagree 
Idk ppl are also saying Jill has no personality so I’m like maybe we’re not playing the same game or maybe I’m just very obsessed with these characters and other ppl don’t pay attention to things 
Listen…..if a 21 year old proposed to my 18 year old sister, I’d have some choice punches too
Jill has no WHAT?!
Are people pulling an FF14 and saying the story sucks while skipping all the cutscenes or something what the fuck is going on
i was afraid that might be the case but i think, from the few scenes i've seen so far in lor's playthrough, she has a lot going on for herself. probably my favorite scene of hers so far was clive saying "you haven't changed" and her immediately contradicting him and saying she has, because she has committed a lot of wrongdoings herself, we just weren't witnesses to it, but we can at least witness her guilt and atonement
I think even the scenes from the demo show her personality it’s just not what some ppl wanted I guess
Please that little interaction hit me like a ton of bricks. The fact that she’s also holding onto so much guilt and pain and is trying to do her best.
it hit clive too honestly, you could see it in his face that he realized he wasn't the only one suffering all those years and he felt bad that he didn't offer her the same grace she did to him when they were reunited
they're both traumatized and there for each other and i think it's sweet
It’s like people forget she was forced to transform and commit war atrocities
They're too busy saying Shiva's flat
I loved that scene 
grown ass man but also a crybaby

What are the odds of this game getting DLC?
Because I really want this game to get DLC
high
ff13's sequels got dlc, ff15 got dlc
every ff game has gotten so much other stuff to expand its world and lore
7r even got a dlc i forgot i can actually play it now lol
They said no
Did they really?
Ok I risked googling and yeah apprently Yoshi P said there's no plans for DLC
Bummer
No idea, I have no context for how old the google result was and I'm still dodging spoilers and the internet is a minefield
I only peeked becuase I wasn't sure if Lorie was being serious or messing with me like "they said no 'cause of you specifically" kind of teasing xD
Or if she was setting up an elaborate deez/balls joke.
...I have trust issues

"YoshiP said in an interview that if FF16 is popular, and if there is a demand for it, he is up for creating DLC to satisfy that demand"
i wish i could find the source though
because this is not the only person i've seen say it
but i cant find where he said it 😭
Aaaaand bookmarked 
The eyeroll I’m OBSESSED
watching the VOD and dying at "love when enemies look like they rolled out of the trash and think 'yeah, I can take that sword and armor from you!'"
IM DYING
LMAO
LMAOO love them both sm
@viscid pollen
DON'T SLANDER JOSHUA LIKE THIS
who am i if i'm not mocking my favorite character?
LMAOO
crying omg
NOT THISSSS
gonna thr*w up
i just found out that dion's voice actor also played javert in the les mis musical
where's the ffxvi musical!!!!!! where is it!!!
He’s made for you………….
So we’ve met ultima aka the big bad but it’s a ff game so the big bad is never the big bad. Place your bets who the big bad really is
merely are you gonna bet on torgal again 😭
leave him alone!!! he's 2 months old!!!

this is him rn
this is who's fighting by our side
Listen……my mother was “fighting” by my side and she betrayed us so I mean
me if sexualizing clive rosfield was illegal https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fzyzi75aYAAR9Em?format=jpg&name=small
this is my favorite image now
i've become obsessed with it so i had to make any joke as a pretext to use it
Me if it was illegal to impregnate Clive rosfield
Now that Lorie is at the timeskip I wanna share this funny convo I had with my buddy, who's also just hit the timeskip 
🤝
Are you tired of living on this Earth? Do men in positions of power keep ruining the world around you with no regard to you or your people’s needs? Ask your doctor if Time Skip Clive™️ is right for you!
Side effects include ||horny, fainting, insurrection, bisexual awakening, British accents, telling your enemies you’ll “fucking kill” them, adopting a wolf||
Clive when he saw Typhon and realized being a “monster” isn’t so bad after all
Terrified
https://clips.twitch.tv/ShinyVivaciousMangoStoneLightning-R5R_MuG-clSFTTMQ
clive making us all feel a certain way
That’s how Clive sounds when I redacted my redacted in his redacted
I feel like Lorie would appreciate this https://vxtwitter.com/the_ben_starr/status/1675579572119584768?s=46&t=WTCUUJlLz-ecI3qa2EaUdA
Ooooh so this is where it’s at
I missed it
@humble oasis
Alternatively
LMAOOOO
Omg I love them
I love Jill 
If I see one more person say she doesn’t have a personality and is sidelined I’m gonna go ragey
I should just delete Twitter I’ve seen way too many bad takes already today 
I need this now
I really hope we get outfits for them in 14… I really want her hair but they never give us long hair …
Yeah
I think it’s because of the clipping
Imagining that hair with an AST weapon on the back….. 
I would accept just her outfit at least
you just pull half your hair out just getting your weapon
My wol will be going bald
LMAOOO
Ryonia just staring at everyone like "what?"
LOL

HELP LOL
BEANS
Im feeling full of beans !!!
LMAOOO
No but I’m losing it. The art for Mio and Noah was the same
Noah breastily boobing and Mio being like 👁️🫦👁️
I love it when games are similar. Makes me feel at home jaksjsj
I wanna know if Yoshi P has played xenoblade tho
Wait doesn’t square own some xeno related IPs??
I have switched my Lock Screen for now
Queen
Clive needs constant hugs
Where’s our “hold x to [REDACTED] Clive”?!
not the redacted like we want to ||fuck|| him instead of hug him
I can do both 
Lorie going full PTSD at seeing Landslide is so valid 
ARR vets understand the trauma 
I know people who genuinely quit FF14 because of Titan EX. Hell there was even a time Titan Hard was the hardest content in the game between unoptimized server connections and our gear. Wild times.
Hugo’s hands look like this so Clive’s can look like THIS

HELP LMAO
PlayStation UK really made them a fan cam video I’m screaming https://twitter.com/playstationuk/status/1676253576174215171?s=46&t=WTCUUJlLz-ecI3qa2EaUdA
This is why I’m trapped on Twitter
The way the end is just jill being like “lol my boyfriends are so cute flirting with each other
”
now why was that pinned

i'm writing down the names of everyone who makes hugo jokes
i would never
its his right
Me seeing you love dulci on main today
LMFAOOO
I'm told making a list is very handy
🙃
Aww don't be like that Dulci. Come on let's all sing a song for Hugo that'll cheer him up!
🎵 If you're happy and you know it clap your ha- 🎵
Oh.


HEAR YE HEAR YE Lord Hugo has outlawed the Cha-Cha Slide for its offensive and infectious “everybody clap your hands” segment. All future parties must submit their playlists for Republican inspection or face his gravelness’ wrath.
Next Vivian state of the realm update is just gonna be hand jokes
You can add 2 more

i can hear the sniff snoffs through the screen
HELP I DIDNT EVEN REALIZE
it's literally him 😭😭
koga never beating the torgal allegations 
real life torgal exists 
Me with my screenshots of Torgal https://vxtwitter.com/heckingooddogs/status/1676508779905441793?s=46&t=WTCUUJlLz-ecI3qa2EaUdA
never beating the torgal allegations 
Koga is really Torgal if he had one maybe two brain cells

He has one malfunctioning brain cell that fires off randomly then he goes zooom
Im catching up on the VOD from yesterday
- Torgal’s magical girl style transformation is everything to me
- when Clive screams “I’ll kill you” during the Titan fight … that’s so Shulk XB1
Torgals what transformation??? I need to watch the vod apparently
Love that today’s stream was short but revolved around “shit moms” and “he’s just happy to be here” Uncles
The vibes
Trying to decide if I want the 16 art book … and this is in the preview
It doesn’t release until March 2024 
Now why would you send this
I’m so fucking gay and soft for this man gonna cry 
Would give my heart and soul to him

Priorities 
@plain zinc

me trying to act normal each time dion would show up on screen knowing he's the first canonically confirmed gay character 
Me searching for Dion but getting tons of Celine Dion content 
Lolll
me looking dion age and getting 55 bc of celine dion 
I’d put him around Joshua’s age ?
LMAOOOO
Yeah he can’t be older than Clive
Def somewhere around mid to late 20s same as Joshua
Me asking when we’re seeing Dion because I was waiting to see the kiss scene
Everybody who played past this point waiting for Lorie to see 2 things: Titan Lost and Dion kiss xD
i was in dulcis dm like "so when is the kiss happening" and he was documenting how long it'll take to me 😭
No because why is even Terrence so pretty
Pretty men are ruining my fucking life
Never gonna love a normal man ever

For comparison ||https://youtu.be/U0G2auMMKlo|| FF14 shadowbringer raid boss spoilers
The remix nobody knew they needed. Also the boss is pretty much the realization of all our 2.0 PTSDs, they only missed some twisters in there.
Also apparently Soken started working on the 16 music in 2015!!!
Im more of a fan of the 3rd phase music over this one, but its still good.
the gay ppl kept me up at night for weeks 😭
ppl have been passing around that rumor weeks before the game came out
omg amazing

FINAL FANTASY XVI Original Soundtrack - Prelude
Released on: 2023-07-06
Auto-generated by YouTube.
it was also officially uploaded on youtube :D
this is so real i think i rt'd it
all the tiny waist post inspired me to do that fancam that would get me banned on twitch dot com
merely that was too spoilery LMAO
i was like if im gonna make something like that, i cant include too much
"Thou shall not warneth players of Clive booty jumpscare"
The Gospel of Bussy Chapter 16
it's actually so rude that we can't scream from the rooftops, "YOSHIDA, FINAL FANTASY, SQUARE ENIX SAID GAY RIGHTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
bc it's a spoiler 
no cause lorie that's what i was so scared you were gonna get spoiled on LOL
because my tl and even some ppl we both follow have been mentioning "gay people in ff16" and i was like 😭 we gotta get to that fuckin kiss scene already!!!
I imagine it's so much worse because Lor has to engage with social media on some level because of her job so she can't just total media blackout like I did until I finished 16
so thank goodness for being able to duck spoilers so far
yeah, it's been pretty okay, people on stream have been okay too
if anything, the stream has been the least of anyone's concerns in terms of spoilers
youtube and twitter were scarier lol
still thinking about how when i first saw dion i was like "that's a gay man" and yoshida was like "and you would be correct"
yeah when ppl were telling me not to look at youtube comments i was like shit 😭
OH i can tell you now
one of the youtube comments you got was an asshole saying torgal was fenrir
i was like 😐 mf
Why are people 
Please the way we were like please let the rumors be true and please let it be Dion he is giving gay vibes and yoship said worry not my children for I hear your prayers
yoship really came thru for the gays honestly
he saw all the gays go wild for g'raha and he said bet this will work well
Listen he was making almost gay characters for too long in 14 we deserved better
The rated M was really so we could have gay people around the world
Yoshi P, months ago getting hammered on social media about his poc comments: "waaaaait for it..." xD
yeah, ff14 has a lot of implications and subtext for many many characters, including a trans au'ra npc, i will say though, nothing has even been as in your face as dion is which is what this franchise needed and im so happy
he's an important character that is explicitly gay, no subtext and that's fantastic progress
can't wait for the anti-woke brigade who have been praising the violence and mature themes to get to that scene and do a 180, decrying this as the worst final fantasy ever 🙃
right i'm waiting
i mean i've already seen something LOL
Yes for a main game from a big company to have a canon gay main character set my heart on fire
LMAO
That copy pasta was fucking hilarious and horrible at the same time
square enix has been really progressive. the square panel i was on made me cry when they invited me because one of my fav developers seeing me, my worth, and also my identity meant a lot. they're doing great
i'm happy to be so connected with them now
also the BIPOC folks in the desert is really cool. i've truly done a complete 180 on this game and i'm really glad for it
i'm glad that you've been enjoying it this much!!
the GoT references though still kill me LMAOOO Dion actually reminds me a lot of Renly Baratheon. @tulip dust what do you think 👀
Oh yes I can totally see that
Dion reminds me of my future husband
I was so worried it was bait or just gonna be like a small blurb of text when I saw it was real I screamed
i saw it in leaks a week before it came out and i was freaking out 😭
i was like
i cant believe gay people are real im gonna burst
The way Aiden was like who wants to hear about the thing and I immediately was like yes I would like to know 👀
The way they made a gay dragoon specifically for Aiden tho
Aiden forever the best for supplying us with the leaks and spoilers we ask for 
And the same month we got ||shirtless sweaty Estinen || FFXIV latest patch spoilers
Aiden is capitalizing on all the tears that went into those games
I’m happy Square Enix stood their ground and did not opt to remove Dion and Terence kissing, which is why the game is banned in Saudi Arabia.
I enjoy the implication that Square basically told SA to fuck off 
things like these are always a sad reality more than anything honestly, because it also deprives queer people of representation in countries where being yourself is not something you can have. so it's always sad when something like this gets censored or people get deprived of access to it altogether, but it is what is, wish things could be different
True enough. I only meant it in the sense Square was unwilling to compromise by removing the scene and such.
I don't know a whole lot about Saudi Arabia but I'm going to assume based off secondhand and how ban happy they are about LGBTQ+ stuff that it's a hellscape for queer folk
yeah, i didn't mean it to be in a way that rains on people's parade, so i know what you meant! it's absolutely still a huge win that they didn't back down. but on the perspective of something queer being banned, it still is kind of heartbreaking at the end of the day that people won't be able to access this media unless they go through loopholes

good soup

artists have been finishing the game and there's so much good fanart im 
But where is the porn
there's some too 
Clive is always such a gentleman with Jill ❤️

i'm literally about to throw up
he's so sweet
Love is real 
After me
Just think about how mean his mom was to him but then he’s so sweet to Jill and everyone else around him and I 
Criessssa
oh this reminds me, i need to go back on the vod for something
that's what he says!
He’s so 
I started my replay recently and it was so shocking to see him early game again bc he’s so closed off and angy 
he's so guarded bc there's no one that he can trust 
but he meets so many good people in his life worth protecting and also gains some of his old life back and its just 
clive filled with hope and love is so good for my soul specifically
Same
IM SCREAMING
Struggling to find the full interview but I found the snippet people keep posting around

Since we're now talking about Titan's theme in this game now that Lorie has experienced it
Found it! It's from Game Informer
https://www.gameinformer.com/exclusive-feature/2023/06/05/the-music-of-final-fantasy-16-part-4-the-sound
I’m curious if he was working on this at the same time as late shb/ew
I think I remember him saying somewhere that he was working on both OSTs at the same time, in which case damn
Multitalented and multitasking
And was this while Soken was still in the hospital…!?
Lolllll
Lmao I love it thank you
omg Dpaw 
#finalfantasyxvi #finalfantasy16 #finalfantasy16ost It's finally time. I've been waiting for this game for too damn long, and now I finally have it in my hands. I hope you all enjoy this beautiful game, and it's beautiful music as well.

One of my favorite pieces of music in this game is one you hear very early on
Also the leitmotif is used in Gav's theme
I just love how freaking talented Soken and his music team are. You usually associate Soken with the big hitting themes like boss music in both 14 and 16 but he's also great at making less bombastic pieces
edit: another version that plays a little later:

Joshua is so gender
Replaying the game and forgot abt the quest npc that says he thought Clive was in bed with Cid …
Ok, I’m done, great format indeed
Loll I love it
Also only 52% of players have pet torgal 5 times what is wrong with this community 
Im looking at my trophy stats. 15% of players have finished the game
So 73% of players have earned the trophy for landing 5 precision sics with torgal but only 52% have pet the good boy?!
It’s also at an inn and I’m like oh was there only one bed?! But then turns out there is no bed and they have to sleep on the floor. Maybe they only had one blanket tho
i think they kissed honestly
ppl are calling gav and clive the blowjob brothers and now i cant stop thinking about it
I called him Hugo Kuplo Kopp
Ben Starr reading thirsty Clive tweets in Clive's voice: https://youtu.be/IgBdVcuR2ww?t=3823
In this extra-special episode of Swapping Joysticks, we have an in-depth chat with Ben Starr, voice of Final Fantasy 16's Clive Rosfield. Join us as we dive into the world of voice acting and unravel the secrets behind bringing Clive to life.
Also, prepare yourself for platinum trophy hunting, thirsty tweets, and a Final Fantasy Quiz!

^ whole interview is pretty good tho
i hope that "the character associated with the Bahamut summon is gay" becomes a recurring trope in the final fantasy series

Catching up on the VOD, I see Lorie met Eloise
which in my playthrough was yet another moment of "god dammit she's gorgeous too!"
Yoshi P why did you make everyone so pretty
Are you trying to dehydrate us???
obsessed with dragoons and bahamut becoming lgbtq+ icons
The final thirsty Clive tweet read by @The_Ben_Starr is here and I’ve saved the best for last.
There are a couple I didn’t include in the clips that you can check out along with the rest of the podcast at https://t.co/883oLJAzXO
Enjoy. 🥵
#finalfantasyxvi #FF16
Losing my mind
Ben Starr is a year older than me 👁️
Also Phoenix theme’s lyrics. I was hearing “always” instead of “amen” lmao
I'M SCREAMING LOL, NOT THE ||FAT TITS||
I love how video game discourse has shifted over the years. From nerds drooling over women’s jiggle physics in the early 2000s to everybody being like “the things I would do to Lord Rosfield” in 2023 rofl
Im just disappointed Clive doesn't have jiggle physics, but Ill accept the tight leather stretching sounds when he walks
another wonderful short from Aiden
this part in Final Fantasy 16 SHOCKED me

LOLOL
LMAO
Use of "
"is an Aiden trademark 
Also, does all this OST stuff happening mean it's coming out soon?
Waiting is paaaaaaaaaaain
Originally my PC, before my old one bricked and I found out too late my new one has no optical drive

So yeah I guess my ps5 since mine has a drive
So … do ps5 play CDs? Bc the internet is telling me no …
It should? I’m p sure the disc slot is an all purpose media player for like movies and cds as well?
I think it only supports dvds and blu ray…
I'm assuming these are more like dvd discs anyway. Do companies even do ye olde CDs anymore?
true but
Butt?
Which one? xD
all
wait isn't the ost out the end of this month?
I genuinely have no idea is why I ask 
I just want it for the pretty box
I just want it for the pretty boy
Oh hey that's next week
Insert joke about you’re already a pretty boy
I mean isn't that just Aiden?
LMAOOOO
Sorry that I made a typo. Sorry I’m not perfect
Also Sony says CDs are unsupported formats on the ps5
Dang where’s my pink boom box from 1997 when I need it
Oh it even says on the site for the soundtrack this is an imported CD not a DVD I can read I swear
bruh what
I had a disc thingy for the computer but i just didn’t want to make it work with my setup so I recycled it
(I might still have it actually who wants it
)
how tf are people gonna play that
There are actually some cute blue tooth cd players on amazon
My car doesn’t have a cd player
cars still have CD players? 😭
Yes 😭
LMAOOO need
It might not have an external one. My families cars don’t have external ones. Have to go into the glove compartment
Ha ha so I thought I'd just use one of the other PCs my parents have and rip the music from there but none of them have optical drives either 
But also we don’t own a car newer than 2016 so do with that with what you will
Idk there’s like so many soundtracks on CD I might just have to buy one
that's what i was thinking when they released that XC3 collection thing
but then i was like fuck it 😭 maybe one day a vinyl will come
This is killing me
Welp there goes my plan B. Plan C! 🏴☠️
PSP HUH?
Right 😭😭😭
Those still exist? xD
If I find my old optical driver do you want it I’ll sell it for $100 (sorry but inflation for the in demand
)
if you get a portable cd player make sure you have one that has 45 seconds of g-skip technology
My PC tower has no way of installing one even if I had the poor judgement to pay an extortionist like you 
i got one for xmas one year and was so excited bc i rode the bus and that shit still skipped so bad
Maybe they’ll release a Hit Clips version of the soundtrack
I'll wait for the Kidz Bop version of Find the Flame
At home, you can set the CD player perfectly fine with the USB cable in no time at all; When you are outside, you do not need to worry about power sources due to 2 x 1.5V, LR6, AA" batteries (NOT INCLUDED).The CD player was no speaker, it comes with a set of stereo earbuds, delivering great quali...
The way when I built my new computer I said I’ll keep it from my old computer because I knew I was going to want it but then I installed a fan where the drive should’ve went and I didn’t want to unscrew it so I said fuck it and didn’t install it 💀
I wonder if they don’t wanna do vinyl bc it’s so many songs
If it’s 8 cds … I feel like that would be a lot of vinyl
Poor planning yeehaw but also it was the middle of summer and I was sweating and getting hazy from the heat so I blame that 
Can you get an external cd drive ?
Yes?
My mom used to have a legit CD player with 6 cd spots and it was hooked up to really good speakers … and she got rid of it 4 years ago RIP
this is SO stupid wtf. it's not like CDs are gone lol
Oh are you talking about those amp thingies? We used to have one like that too but my dad upgraded it and the new one didn’t have a cd slot anymore
can't wait for gen beta or whatever to revive cds like gen z revived cassete tapes
Excuse me
That’s millennial erasure
I didn’t go to pitchfork music festival and stand in a hot tent while my friends bought cassette tapes to be treated like this

🙄
i thought we revived vynils
We did that too
No
pls don't come for me
They revived mom jeans
only to revive low waist after so...
LMAO
bless gen z for bring back mom jeans and 90s fashion overall
but how dare they bring back low waist
gen z was on the right track but suddenly kate moss became a thing again
love u kate
but h*roin chic should've stayed in the 90s
truly
Oh wait you said revived vinyls I can’t real
Can’t type either I fixed like four typos in that sentence and still one escapes me
Me every time I try to use my phone to type in discord
They should just include digital download mp3s with all the soundtracks tbh
Vinyl or cd
i just hope it's available on streaming services
pls don't copy numora on that, yoshida
But also buy a cd player it sounds fun relive your youth in the best ways and not the worst
I think it will be since they put up the first 5 tracks …
TORGAL?

Dpaw did you know there’s a fenrir mount 👀
asdglpkasfpl;asf
NO
With this event you can get to 1 mil easy 🫡
Join me in the suffering that is leap of faith.
I think I only need 7 million more MGP and I’ll have a lll the mounts
Sorry Babz but Minecraft prepared me for parkour
I really am fighting for my life against those pinecones
leap of faith is my nemesis
That new map is an abomination born of the deepest hatred for players
Also maybe it's just me but it feels much longer than all the previous ones. A checkpoint for at least getting halfway wouldn't be unreasonable
But then again it's FF14, aside from super secret savage boss phases and dungeons, there's never been checkpoints for long drawn out instances
which is the new map?
pinecones
it's the new-est map of leap of faith is what I meant
came out the most recently
etc
is that the big tree
yes
i hate it so much
the one everyone hates lol
yuuup
it felt like a mini kugane castle
at the end with the tree planks
anyway yes hate it
Welcome to the FFXVI chat where we chat about FFXIV xD
Anyway, Clive would never put up with jumping puzzle BS, he'd just use Garuda skills to get across
or summon Ifrit 
Those stretchy leather sounds always get me lol such a nice little touch to remind you that Clive and Skater B0is both wear pants two sizes too small 👁️🫦👁️
the little torgal 
just saying

Me saying Joshua looks like roxas is suddenly all making sense
Joshua looks exactly like Roxas and he will never beat the allegations
EVERYONE SING ALONG 
posting this here since Lorie got to this part
https://vxtwitter.com/brigriv/status/1677849906491318272?s=46&t=0qhKpuhqD23AVJlrlc6GJA
she's so valid and correct
editing the next part and i just heard you say "i hope nothing happens to cid" 
😭😭😭😭😭
sick to my stomach thinking about how clive changed cid's life 
i was crying too hard to notice it the first time but i just saw that when he passed, clive hugged him while jill hugged torgal 😭 man im going thru it all over again
If anyone ever wonders why I ship them, ITS BECAUSE THEY WERE LITERALLY IN LOVE IM SICK
I meant to add: when cid died and Clive let out that yell it was fucking GUT WRENCHING like from his fucking soul I was like damn okay that really was his bf
Ralph Ineson, English VA for Cid, describing Cid's love for Clive- absolute king 👑 #FF16

Taken from reddit:
Please that part was so funny but also I was waiting for it to happen 
i was so happy for him 😭 he's finally had his revenge after everything they've done to him
wish he wouldn't have passed out bc i know he would've had it out for anabella too but at least he did it 
He deserved to kill her too so true
But also it’s so wild to me that she saw a creature kill her son (Joshua) and didn’t she’d a single tear but then when her other son got killed (Olivier) she was hysterical. I was like what does it mean
aaaaaand now I've taken it from Discord lol
The social media intern at PS UK def ships them https://twitter.com/playstationuk/status/1679083521300746241?s=46&t=WTCUUJlLz-ecI3qa2EaUdA

I really think they’re cute together thank you for this
the inhuman noise i made when i saw this on my tl yesterday and rt'd it
right on the same day i took this sc of him
What is his waist so small for??? For me to grab while I peg him!!!

@crimson moon
this is me petting torgal
imagine getting frustrated at someone for being excited about petting TORGAL
people like them are the reason that achievement for petting him isn't maxed yet 
Why do people like that even show up in Lorie's comments? Are they lost?
Some people only live for the Unironic Shitpost
The fucking blinking eyes audio with those smash cuts

Aiden is a master editor
Mid: “hey I’m Mid!”
Joshua: “oh my, a ✨💞lady💞✨”
Also I missed stream and haven't been able to sit down and watch the VOD so first time today seeing Lorie's look,
very pretty
Still getting over a nasty headache
hope you feel better soon shadow!!
Uh, so I spent like 20 mins typing out stuff only to get this message
I'm literally just trying to gush about the Bahamut fight
wtf
yes, lemme figure it out real quick 😭
I'm glad I had the foresight to write it in microsoft word first otherwise I'd have just lost everything
don't worry
you wouldn't have lost it
automod alerted me it happened but im more like
trying to figure out how to accept it lol its okay
oh so you can see it
I figured it didn't go through at all becuase of the "only you can see this"
also what the fuck is with AutoMod having it out for my blood all the time, both Twitch and Discord 
"Also, now that I’m awake and suffering less from a crushing headache, time to gush about my personal favorite fight in the game now that Lorie has experienced it: Bahamut!
So obviously, the visuals are amazing, the music is incredible, Ifrit and Phoenix fusing and flying into space and tanking a Zettaflare eat your heart out Donald Duck, etc. and its just so fun and overall one of the best boss fights in videogames don’t @ me
But something else that elevates this fight for me is a little thing I like to call Spot the FF14 Reference! And I hecking love FF14.
There will be some spoilers for ARR’s raid series btw, for those who have not finished the coils and care about the story, so I’ll tag the rest of this since I know we still have people going through them and even on a visual spoiler I don’t want to ruin someone’s experience:
Spoiler time!
So starting from when Joshua and Clive team up proper in the last bit of the first phase: ||The way Bahamut descends into the shot, unfurls his wings and roars is the same way he does it both in the ARR opening cinematic, and at the beginning of the final fight of the coils, Bahamut Prime.||
||The visuals of Bahamut’s attacks are identical to 14s, with more HD pizzazz, like Megaflare being a bunch of scatter lasers. Mortal Coil and Triple Coil are a callback to Ahk Morn, which made it’s debut in final coil (before we learned this is an attack Midgardsormr and all his brood can do later in the game). It has the same fire at the ground and cause a laser pillar effect. By the way, “Triple Coil.” There are 3 tiers in the coil raid series. :D
Teraflare visually is almost 1 to 1 how it looks in FF14 both seen at the end of the ARR cinematic and in the raid, and the mechanic is a call back to how you mitigate it in final coil by putting up a shield, though its not via the phoenix in 14, instead you must kill adds then stand in a circle. But the basic idea is the same: stand ‘here’ so you don’t die xD
And now for the big spoiler: The penultimate fight in coil is against the Phoenix, who you discover is Louisoix. After defeating him, you’ll see a cutscene which has been dubbed Flames of Truth, in which you witness the moments right after the ARR opening cinematic, where Louisoix becomes the primal Phoenix and tanks Bahamut’s teraflare by flying through it and bursting through Bahamut’s chest. So why do I bring this up? Because Ifrit Risen in FF16 tanking Zettaflare and flying right through it to burst through Bahamut’s chest at the end is another visual callback, it’s almost 1 to 1.||
These things just made me so giddy in addition to it already being an incredible boss fight."
okay i sent it myself just so it wont be in jail
^ that whole message is shadow's
now back to figuring out what's going on with automod LOL

Like nothing in there is NSFW or bigoted or anything that would reasonably pop a flag in here
So the only conslucion is automod hates me
Maybe Lorie programmed in Heterophobia and the bot can't distinguish that Lorie is just kidding so it sees me and goes "
"
xD
I agree. Isn’t today heterophobia day?
