Ffxiv - Blog Posts
finally did a full painting of my boy from ffxiv after playing him for years! I started this sketch back in 5.1 after the big azem reveal but never finished it, so the pattern from the top was supposed to be the main thing for the piece.
veloce is a calm, quiet, simple cat, but in battle he is savage, ruthless, and forceful. he was a paladin and he prefers physical and close ranged combat, and after he learned both white and black magic, he became a red mage instead.
his rapier is his old paladin sword fused with some essence of nidhogg that he ripped out of nidhogg out of rage during heavensward, when he lost his first true friend who he felt connected to and was overtaken by anger for the dragonsong war. his focus is his crystal of light; after his meeting with fray taught him that the dark dregs of his mind exist because they are there to protect something/someone, the colour of darkness now embraces his crystal of light and aids him in battle.
despite nidhogg’s rage and influence, veloce’s savagery was always his own, and he had always been heavy handed in battle no matter who/what he fought, unexpected by those who knew him in normal everyday life as a reserved individual. he uses his sword a lot more than he casts, his melee attacks are less precise/elegant than standard red mage attacks and more forceful like a paladin’s, and his aggressive fighting habits sometimes gets him in trouble as a red mage when he forgets that he’s not as durable as he was before with a shield and heavier armour.

Sometimes I look at these old pictures of Gale and they tempt me to go back to modding, but then I think about how much more fun I'm having now that I'm not modding and am actually playing the game again... The only real temptation is just seeing him how he looks in my head again. But literally everything else about modding was just the worst. Specifically the drama and all the bs from being on social media at the time. I hate how much I'm going back and forth about this. I should just rp instead and it would be a good creative outlet. Because I really do love how he looks vanilla as well. Hmm...
I should make a new character for xivrp. Really tempted. And I need new friends so I'm not so lonely overnight at work man. This shit sucks.
Decided to make a new Dynamis alt and play through all of ffxiv again. Except this time I'm gonna do all the side quests, do a relic each expac, etc. Just want a reason to play the game outside of leveling my main since I've done most of what I care to do besides mount farming.
Welp, I started playing ffxiv again after a 6 month hiatus. Not modding this time around and I'm having more fun, but I do miss my boy looking how he should. But I absolutely do NOT miss that side of the community. Or at least the Twitter side. Genuinely made me miserable, but I'm glad to be falling in love with the game again.
My dearest followers and mutuals and friends and lovers. I am going to extend one deadly serious question to you on this beautiful afternoon.
What is your #1 video game recommendation
