- Rant against subligar: http://is.gd/1ahL2 #ffxi #
Jun 242009
I want to quote Transformers so bad here, but oh well.
I’m going to rant about something very superficial, something so shallow that you’ll wonder if you’re reading the right blog. Yes, folks, I am now going to rant about… FFXI leg armour and why I think SE is run by sexually deviant teenagers.
There’s a lot of subligar in this game. The low level stuff is terrible — it’s nothing more than a pair of underwear, which is actually really what subligar is supposed to be. Starting at level 16, the Bone and Beetle sets are “okay” (they show off Darian’s chest which is out of character for him, but that’s another story), but at least there’s actual pants.
I’m talking about this because I’m happily levelling Dragoon, and now that I’m level 25, I’m expected to look for different gear (the level 21 Beetle Harness +1 set I have can’t last me forever!). So imagine my shock dismay unholy bitching deep concern when I saw that the Republic Subligar looked exactly like the level 1 stuff.
I’ll be hypocritical: I have an appreciation for the female form and actually don’t mind when I see Mithra wear that stuff. However, I play a Male Hume. There is absolutely nothing sexy about seeing a man run around with full upper body armour, a badass weapon that can skewer several Yagudo at a time, and… underwear.
Like, seriously, SE. Why did you make the best leg armour in the game for damage dealers (EDIT: of my level) be a pair of underwear? And the worst part is that a lot of (male) players think it’s FUNNY and love running around in this crap. Me? I’m absolutely mortified. And I’d have to wear this until AF pants, if I brought the job that far. (I do have other options in a few levels, but the fact remains that the stats on the Republic Subligar are great).
I could dat mod the Bone/Beetle subligar model onto the Republic model, but while I’d be able to see pants on myself, everyone else would be seeing me in panties. And I could just not wear them, but I have a reputation for going for the very best gear that is actually affordable, and Republic Subligar is “only” 40k.
Ugh, Squeenix. Just give me a freaking pair of pants.

Raising kids properly means one parent at home, Alberta minister says
In a tangent at the end of a speech on Alberta’s economy to the Economic Club of Canada in Toronto, Iris Evans also went on to suggest a lack of education is linked to mental illness and crime.
Controversial comments on parenting made by Alberta Finance Minister Iris Evans in Toronto have triggered a spirited and emotional debate in her home province.
Ms. Evans, a divorced mother of three grown children, told a business audience yesterday that, to raise children “properly”, one parent should stay at home while the other earns a living.
I’m practically in tears about this. Both my parents had to work in order to make ends meet, and yes, I was left alone. So what she’s implying is that I’m retarded and a potential criminal because both my parents had to work so we wouldn’t be put out on the street?
Hey, guess what. I’ve got no criminal record, don’t smoke, don’t drink, and I pay my taxes. I graduated from college with honours.
The most disgusting part is that if you go on to read the article, it notes that most people calling in about the issue completely agree with the Minister and that people need to sacrifice stuff like “going to Mexico every year” in order to keep one parent at home.
Fuck you, Iris Evans. Fuck you and the rich-bitch horse you rode in on.
God, I hate this province so much.
