Key Takeaways
- Final Fantasy 14 has unexpected detailed dialogue, even in the weekly fashion report.
- Players may be surprised by rare moments in the game due to disconnects.
- Fans are frustrated with frequent disconnects and DDOS attacks impacting gameplay.
A Final Fantasy 14 player who was in the process of having their outfit judged by the Masked Rose discovered a little-known detail. Many Final Fantasy 14 players were surprised to learn that the game actually accounts for this possibility and has a special circumstance for it.
Final Fantasy 14 has many small details that surprise players, like select questlines having slightly differing dialogue depending on the player’s job. However, this level of detail may not have been expected from the weekly fashion report. Players can try to match an outfit to a theme every week and will be awarded Gold Saucer currency, but despite the frequency of players attempting it, it’s likely that this moment is rarely seen.
Reddit user KurganNazzir shared their surprising moment with the Final Fantasy 14 subreddit. According to the player, they started the Final Fantasy 14 Fashion Report judging, but were disconnected before the sequence could complete. When they logged back in, they likely expected to have to repeat the process. However, instead, Masked Rose spoke to them, asking them where they had vanished to before awarding them their prize for the outfit they’d assembled.
Final Fantasy 14 Players are Surprised (But Also Frustrated)
This particular inclusion surprised a lot of fans of the game, who had never encountered this or anything similar before. It’s a fun tongue-in-cheek moment that nearly breaks the fourth wall, as player characters simply poof out of existence when a player logs out. Seeing something like that would definitely puzzle an NPC, especially if they were in the midst of showing off an outfit.
However, while this moment was well-received, many fans aren’t happy about the frequent disconnects that are occurring in the game. Final Fantasy 14 has been bombarded with DDOS attacks recently. While all online games tend to experience one form or another of service interruptions, Final Fantasy 14 players are getting fed up with being booted out of the game or unable to login in the first place since the Dawntrail expansion released. While Square Enix has said that it’s looking into it, the situation hasn’t improved much. It only gets worse when one considers that being booted out of certain content, like Deep Dungeons or raids, often means losing progress or having to start all over again.
Hopefully, Final Fantasy 14 will resolve its DDOS problem in the near future so that it becomes even rarer to see this particular bit of dialogue by accident.
