As a Balmung player I'm happy that the erp degeneracy is finally reaching such a large audience. I love a bit of RP here and there but haven't touched much since my main's fc died out back in 17.
Hope Yoshida either gets told to or uses this as an excuse to crack down hard on all the sexual stuff that goes on in this game, including coomer mods and especially "nightclubs". From just having to go to Limsa to start this questline or pick up that jobstone and seeing chat, Rain is hardly the only one that's dumb enough to do this shit in the open.

They uploaded an emote that has extra text or something in it so it freaks out your anti-virus cause there's something in your discord cache that shouldn't be there. It's been an issue for a while. Here's a support thread on it:

Why exactly is discord allowing malformed emojis at all?

That's weird af.

Thanks for the info though.
 
Sorry for the double post, but Asmongold is about to do an impromptu interview with the Rain Nightclub owners.

This entire shit show is amazing. It warms my heart that there’s still enough of the player base willing to troll the shit out of cringe inducing ffxiv e-rpers. 10/10
 
The billboards are gone apparently according to USAToday (archive), and apparently the Cali billboards never went up but the Texas ones did.

The degenerates had this to say in regards to why they took them down: "Discussing the decision to have the billboards removed they said, “We took down the boards of our own free will,” they continued “We kinda listened to the actual FF14 community and we don’t want to stress anyone else in the community out about them staying up and forcing Square Enix’s hand on the matter” "

"We kinda listened to the actual community" my fucking ass, you retards told everyone to fuck off when they told you that your shit was cringey crap and said all the law threats were bunk. Remember, they had 'lawyers' for this according to their DJ.

There are so many things wrong with it graphic design wise.

My biggest problem with the entire billboard is it's so visually busy and illegible from a distance. Usually billboards have a very minimalist approach to graphic design where the subject matter is either the forefront or it's kept in a place where it's not interfering with the text:

It's visually overwhelming from a distance and it would probably look an illegible mess. The text is too small and impossible to read at a quick glance like billboards all have to take into account. The blue on blue background of the main focus of the billboard also causes illegibility because it blends in with the background making it very hard to read from a distance. And the visual characters that are forefront focus are interfering with the text. Basically, there's too much going on and too much text to read and it's distracting which could cause accidents or people having to park just to read it which will never happen.
 
What horseshit.

However, Revarious confirmed that the whole endeavor cost the team $160 total. The billboards were hired on a day rate and were removed within 48 hours. As the Californian billboards were cancelled before they went up, no cost was incurred.

Some folks were claiming that it was costing them $40K+ for this stunt, which seems high, but this also seems ridiculously low.

I'm also extremely skeptical that 'no cost was incurred' because they pulled the ads. You're basically costing the business an ad slot they could've used for someone else by doing that, which means lost revenue for the billboard company. Having worked at a place which ended up having to pull a billboard, we were on the hook for it.

The rule of thumb with billboards is no more than 9 words and less = better. Particularly for digital billboards as they run on 6 second cycles, usually.

If I were an idiot wanting to do this, I'd do something like:

BEACH PARTY
DISCORD.GG/RAIN (or a short bit.ly link or something)
JUL 9
FFXIV Logo

With maybe like a beach stock image as the backdrop. That still runs into the issue of using a trademark.

Can anyone put a value on 150K gil for people who have had actual sex with a woman and not ERP with a dude?
I'm trying to figure out how hard to laugh.

I played XI from before the official NA launch 150k was either a few hours/hour of work and eventually a utter pittance thanks to the chinese.

Looking at the gil selling website that is spammed in main cities all the time, 2 million gil is $2.

So you're paying 15 cents, American, for the pleasure of cybering someone who looks like the Quartering.
