There are 289 big fish in FFXIV. In March, one of them went away for 37 real-life days. I made a video about my attempt to catch every other big fish during that downtime, big fishing in general, and what it means to love niche content. I hope you enjoy!

New video! A deepish dive on FFXIV's weather system, and why exactly one(1) standard overworld area either breaks or is excluded from the majority of fanmade forecasting tools! #FFXIV

Adding a final addendum to this thread for anyone who finds it in the distant future: I basically adspted it into a video for easier sharing/vis/etc so here is the link to that!

I think I have found the answer to Final Fantasy XIV's LEAST INTERESTING unsolved mystery: wtf is going on with the weather in Empyreum? A short thread on some wacky nonsense and how weather works! 1/?
If you like this thread because it's fun to know how things work, you may also like The Bobgoblin Blitz, my video on Big Fishing!

Also I've basically permanently moved to bluer fields but I just came back to post this in case there's anyone who hasn't found me there yet. I use the same name there!

I've pretty much permanently moved over to bluesky where I am also @cafcoleo, if you've noticed that I follow you here and not there let me know because I probably just don't know your username over there!
If you, like me, missed the 2-hour copper shark window two weeks ago, it looks like there's another one on February 20th if I'm reading the weather schedule correctly.
"Come, champion of Eorzea, face me! Your defeat shall serve as proof of my readiness to rule! You like DND, Audrey Hepburn, Fangoria, Harry Houdini, and croquet! You can't swim, you don't dance, and you don't know karate! Face it, none among you has the power to ever make it!"
Put on your ghostly glamours and get ready: All Saint's Wake returns to Eorzea on October 18!

One of the wildest bits of lure tech I've seen so far. For weeks after DT launch Ealad Skaan was my go-to example of "a fish where lures literally do nothing" until Vi posted this strat.
🦋New Ealad Skaan Method?
🦋New Ealad Skaan Method.
With the new #FFXIV Lv.100 FSH skills, we got some new tech to squeeze juuuuuust a few more casts out of that dinky 90 sec Ealad Skaan window.

To emphasize a few more things:
1. Namitaro itself bites on a totally different bait. This will never occur naturally if you're actually trying to catch Namitaro unless you fucked up badly
2. Tension (Odin FATE weather) is totally random so this is a real lightning strikes moment
I think I may have just been the first person to refresh Namitaro's intuition, which requires you to catch a second Giant Takitaro within one minute of catching the first one. AND I did it during Tension. Absolutely amazing.

Woah, it's been a while! I'll be streaming today at 3 PM EST hitting up a bunch of legendary windows, trying out some wacky stuff, and then I will actually be doing some of the post-EW story on this alt because I never actually did that!

In fun FFXIV fishing news, Mirfa has managed to construct and perform an experiment to demonstrate that the "hidden fish" lure message takes priority over the "next fish will be small/large" lure message!
The special FATE weather in FFXIV is just a mask - the "real" weather is still ticking away underneath it. This is most obvious when fishing, but in the specific case of Odin you can also demonstrate that using weather-dependent entries from the ARR sightseeing log.

I haven't streamed in a few weeks (whoops lol), but at 10:10 PM EST I'll be helping commentate a FFXIV fishing competition for Multithon Rivals and, if we meet a $2750 donation goal, I'll also be a participant in a second run! (at like ~2:45 am EST lmao) https://t.co/oZdvpfdKI9
