Check-In Post - December 15th 2024

[badly_knitted]

Hello to all members, passers-by, curious onlookers, and shy lurkers, and welcome to our regular daily check-in post. Just leave a comment below to let us know how your current projects are progressing, or even if they're not.

Checking in is NOT compulsory, check in as often or as seldom as you want, this community isn't about pressure it's about encouragement, motivation, and support. Crafting is meant to be fun, and what's more fun than sharing achievements and seeing the wonderful things everyone else is creating?

There may also occasionally be questions, but again you don't have to answer them, they're just a way of getting to know each other a bit better.


This Week's Question: What's on your holiday wish list this year?


If anyone has any questions of their own about the community, or suggestions for tags, questions to be asked on the check-in posts, or if anyone is interested in playing check-in host for a week here on the community, which would entail putting up the daily check-in posts and responding to comments, go to the Questions & Suggestions post and leave a comment.

I now declare this Check-In OPEN!

oh Stray is wonderful I love it so much

I'm not as familiar with the rest of FF, mostly only ever played 14 lol but I've played since late HW and written quite a lot thanks mostly to the yearly FFxiv writing challenge

BG3 is REALLY good, but woo has it eaten my soul :'D;;;; I've got over 1000 hours in it and counting

I've played the entire mainline of Final Fantasy, along with several of the spin-offs. They're ALL worth playing, and as a FFXIV player, you'd probably delight in seeing where all the influences come from:

* Crystal Tower sequence is FFIII
* Endwalker and its patches are FFIV
* Omega raids take influence from FFV & VI
* Eden raids are inspired by FFVIII
* Alexander plays a key role in FFIX
* Van'diel raids made this former FFXI shriek from all the references
* Ivalice raids are from FFXII & Tactics

There's other smaller references too. The concept of the Warrior of Light is from Final Fantasy 1, for example, though other games in the franchise use that name, too.

And I am adding you to my reading list as well as giving you access to my journal, since most of my stuff is posted locked. No need to give access back to yours unless you want to.

cool thanks! honestly I have Nothing post locked currently (and my casual posting's all over on my Pillowfort) so it doesn't matter much lol

I played uhhhhhhhhhhhh... 12? 12 after the Ivalice raids came out and didn't care for it a ton, but tbh I struggle with most older games. hoping to play 16 eventually, but not until they drop Denuvo off the PC version lol

mostly tho I'm just happy to take 14 for what it is and don't mind much when the references go over my head
