Happy Friday! Potato-chan and melon-kun is taking a break from the usual MSQ episode today for some IRL matters. However, we prepared this Ask Me Anything highlights for you from our recent stream. Feel free to ask more questions below, we will shortlist them for the next AMA session.
😮 i am very early today. it is as if all my name days have come at once
hell yeah alphinaud fanclub
On the free trial. I think before they included Heavensward in 5.3 it only went to something like level 30 because they didn't want to leave people on that massive cliffhanger that is 2.55.
Lalafells are evil. Pure unadulterated evil. That's why we love them.
I was originally a lalafell from ARR to the end of ShB no patches. After which I switched for fashion reasons to Au'ra (hair clipping issues -> Mi'qote -> back to Au'ra (found a better hairstyle). BUT I do have a lala alt leveled on another data center because I can't stay away from the starch family. I'll be happy, ill be able to play both on my main server once data center travel arrives.
Quazii, your expressions of joy and your break down of your emotions and the game itself is truly amazing and I'm so glad you've given the game a try. Thank you for all that you do!

It's not so much you were wrong about Alphinaud, as it was that he undergoes a massive character development arc in HW. He goes from a spoiled, overly-idealistic demagogue that doesn't understand real personal responsibility to a much more thoughtful and worldly young man that has learned hard lessons from his myriad past mistakes and one who seeks to do better in the future.
Also, you CAN fine-tune your HUD elements' placement. If you press the 2, 4, 6, and 8 keys on your numpad while a HUD window is selected when editing your UI, it will move the window EXACTLY ONE PIXEL in the relevant direction. Very useful if you're super OCD about things like symmetry like I am.
I believe you can actually adjust the position of various HUD elements by holding CTRL and using the arrow keys to move them with pixel precision! Though yeah, no way to separate HP from MP. :<
If you want to know more lore wise of small fluff stuff, there is a tales from Insert expansion series that have small stories of how they got some stuff, what are they doing in some parts of the main quest and in some cases backstories.
ShB is going to add quite a few more quotes for you, Quazii. Woo boy.
On the topic of alt classes i would recomend leveling a summoner(because you colevel scholar as healer) and any physical dps class you might like because shadowbringer changed the way class quests work and completing them adds to the 5.0 story in a big way. Personaly i would recommend Ninja because while others might be more serious or have epic moments Ninja questline is very very funny
All things in 14 can lead back to a lala. Give yourself 2 minutes and think about it.
I started on a free trial and chose a lalafell for those exact reasons too! 4 years later and I’m still a lala. My WoL would feel wrong as anything else.
When you reach LVL 80 will you try the last tier savage and/or unreal practice with your fans(cleared/fresh)?
Would have been interested to hear your thoughts on stormblood thus far; since i feel it started out quite weakly compared to the other xpacs.
Goddamn Shadowbringers is gonna destroy you lol
Yes! Lala for life!😁
It's only wasted exp once you hit level 80 :p
Alphis journey during the story is great storytelling, the evolution of his character to the end of shadowbringers was amazing to watch, its certainly one of the highlights of the story and shows that they can write great character evolutions and expanding on characters in a meaningful way
I've found in all MMOs where there are 'small' races (Hobbits, Lalafell, Taru Taru, Asura etc.) they're usually given the most humourous dialog, often have fun animations (in FFXI a Taru Taru doing a 'spinning attack' with a Greatsword is hilarious) and all in all I enjoy them the most .. I don't take 'my character' seriously and so I don't have any desire to look 'bad ass', I prefer to look amusing and 'halflings' do it the best.
I just wish they would finally give both Alphy and his sister a damn growth spert, Dad… MASSIVE… Grandad.. Massive… Twins… Tiny.
lalafell awesome, fast running animation, small model for easy visual when dodging telegraphs, and evil >:D
Hi, Quazii! Are you planning to try "New World" when its released? I would love to se you make some content on that game
Alphainaud has two points in post msq stormblood where was laughing so much one when he dose something that angers tataru and the other when he goes swimming in the red sea.
All hail Potatoes. Long live the master race!
He was initially a bit naive!
But he grew and changed on his journey along with you. Aphi!
What I miss ALOT in FF are speech bubbles ! saying something and not having a bubble showing that you are talking is sad T_T… but I understand in some placed like lisa lominsa it would become a shitshow very quickly ^^
Alphinaud needed that growth though. From
his perspective he is a child of one of the most influential families in what is considered the most advanced and learned modern civilization on Hydelyn. The grandson of Master Louisoix.
His intentions have always been good but with all that innate privilege he couldn’t help but feel superior to the people he was trying to help. It wasn’t until his humbling loss with the Crystal Braves and the Parting Glass in which he needed the help of those around him to survive that he understood that despite the differences in their circumstances those he was trying to help were his equals; and so was born the Alphinaud we know and love today.
I was in exactly the same boat, didn't like Alphi in ARR but grew to love him through Heavensward and beyond. He's my fav Scion now.
I'll never understand why of all races people always ask why people play Lalafell. Because I play video games to have fun and laugh, and playing a Lalafell is fun and makes me laugh. How do people go through life being so serious all the time?
These are so unbelievably wholesome ❤️
Use the NUM Pad arrow keys to precisely position HUD elements.
So want to make a comment, but won't for fear of semi spoiler. Keep enjoying the game!
You know we are playing a fantasy game so why not pick the most random looking race right its just the story put it in our minds that lalafells are just despicable xd
