i liked part 2's track, at least :'S

digital comic panel 1/4 haurchefant comforts alphinaud and z'ahra, who are beaten up from the bloody banquet. alphinaud is teary-eyed and holding a mug of hot chocolate. haurchefant says, "things are going to be difficult, but you..."

digital comic panel 2/4 z'ahra speaks up, looking determined: "...are going to be difficulter."

digital comic panel 3/4 haurchefant lights up, eagerly supporting z'ahra's sentiment. "that's the spirit! be a problem to your problems! mark your territory!"

digital comic panel 4/4 tataru, in tears and very confused, watches from afar as z'ahra and haurchefant hype themselves up on either side of alphinaud. "yes! become what you must! become the warrior of difficulterness!"

pep talk #ffxiv #finalfantasyxiv

digital comic panel 1/4 the warrior of light, z'ahra, casts a pictomancy spell, mog of the ages. a poorly-drawn picture of a moogle appears in the top left corner.

digital comic panel 2/4 z'ahra looks surprised as someone off-panel says, "oh, *please.*"

digital comic panel 3/4 caelyx stands before z'ahra looking utterly annoyed and unimpressed. "*that* is the pictomancy mastery of the so-called *warrior of light*? Surely you jest."

digital comic panel 4/4 z'ahra casts hammer stamp. a painted hammer appears and bonks caelyx on the head. WHAM!

i didn't originally include 8 since i personally don't struggle with 8...

...but then i realized what i'd be doing if i just left it at 6...7... lol

digital comic panel 1/4 g'raha tia in muppet form is smiling in the middle of the panel. "hey, kids! let's learn how to count with a raider!"

digital comic panel 2/4 a miqo'te warrior of light, z'ahra, also in muppet form, smiles beside three arrangements of dots from multiple limit cut-style mechanics in final fantasy xiv. "1... 2... 3..."

digital comic panel 3/4 z'ahra continues to count: "4... 5..."

digital comic panel 4/4 three arrangements of dots appear on the left side of the panel. z'ahra is visibly nervous as he does his best to count them. "6... 7...? 8????"

can you tell me how to count, how to count these dots on my screen? #ffxiv #finalfantasyxiv

you are so right about that!! 🥰

best boy!! i love how you draw him. his lil freckles and his ears ;u; too cute!

omggggg

i can count to 5... most of the time :'S

omgggg i forgot about that video lmao

It's like it was engineered in a lab to be as hard to read as possible TT^TT

just a lil guy ;_;

😂 i had a lot of fun doodling them. i kinda want to draw even more xiv characters as muppets lol

6 and 7 mess me up so bad

That’s smart actually!

I genuinely have to sit so close to the screen to be able to make the dots out… 🥺

oh we're doomed
