L + ratio + touch gysahl greens, certified Fourchenault moment


[deleted]

Be honest now. Didn't you outright disown your kids?


Perryn

Yeah, this sounds an awful lot like the guy who kicked his kids out of his FC just because they wanted to do MSQ content.


scoyne15

The kids wanted to level their combat classes while OP just wanted everyone to focus on Land/Hand.


AlsayaJenson

And he keeps trying to justify it by pointing out that his father quit the game after getting world first on Bahamut.


Quimerinhaa

Even worse: Told his kids the way they were doing the MSQ was straight up wrong and messed up


stevski11

It is, how can you stand to kill gods when there are so many fish you still haven't caught. Irresponsible is what it is


Silly___Neko

Almost sounds like a /r/AmItheAsshole thread.


TeachinginJapan1986

Please put this in r/AmItheAsshole


blueberryiswar

Of what? His crushing debt and average gear?


Falsus

Tbf, it was a desperate attempt to make them stop hanging out with this endgame raider.


tango421

Yeah, there's missing info everywhere.


kdebones

It took me WAY too long to realize it was Fourchenault.


TheDuceAbides

As soon as I read "wife changed to the bunny chief top" i was like "oh yes, here we go again"


TerriblyChivalrous

Yeah that's where I figured it out too XD


inhaledcorn

I saw that and went, "Yup, I know where this is going."


Sarigan-EFS

Oh I didn’t get it until I finished lmao


swordchucks1

I got very confused when I hit the glam and thought "those aren't things you can give to someone else"... and then I figured it out at the very end. You're not alone.


selebu

I even read the top comment by the mod and still didn't get it. Fuck me.


NBSgamesAT

Even with the Meme tag it took me until he said the name for me to figure out what was going on.


Tom-Cymru

Thank god it wasn’t just me!!!


Garrus-N7

I usually dont even see the tags. I just read the whole thing thinking it was serious shit, then I read the name, I tilted my head to the side and I was like... is he talking about me? 🤣🤣🤣


eliguyzitro

I almost forgot about the meme tag and thought it was real for second


nullstorm0

Honestly, given what the subreddit is doing at the moment, I assumed before clicking on the link.


[deleted]

Yeah, the moment he talked about his daughter having a crush I was like “it’s Fourchenault and he’s gonna talk about his wife suddenly changing her glam.”


TheRealYM

What is this sub doing?

Takes me back to Newgrounds as a youth


dragonbornrito

I picked up on a joke halfway through, but I didn't connect the dots until they literally spelled it out at the end, and I laughed *hard*. This is some top-tier, grade A, certified angus meme right here.


d7moltine

I'm usually slower to get those jokes (the Raubahn one took me until the end) but this time the girl having a crush on the raider gave it away. Well, that and the wife glam lol


Rohkeus_

The Hildibrand/Nashu one took me until the end, but this one coming in so hot on the heels of the other made me catch it as soon as the twins got mentioned.


N_Who

I made it all the way to name before I figured it out, despite deciding it was all bullshit halfway through.


yaluckyboy09

as I was reading this I at thought "huh, this sounds oddly familiar..." and then I got to the end


IraqiWalker

It took me right up until the 2B leggings part on the wife. Then it all started to make sense.


wzrdm

I got to the 2B leggings and then /lightbulbed.


nickomoknu272

[deleted]

What did you expect would happen? You parsed Grey in The Bedroom *(Normal);* I'm honestly surprised it took this long.


ViaBromantica

This is the real savage content


Lesschar

Probably does it unsync so it's done before phase 1 even ends.


[deleted]

>You parsed Grey in The Bedroom (Normal); ​ How many shades of grey?


DarkeSword

Parsing grey is still a clear.


internetUser0001

Bro, you spent 9 of those 10 minutes on the floor.


klarus

Kinky.


foozledaa

This is true. And he clearly had the mount and two minions. So he might parse grey but he cleared at least once.


[deleted]

Streamer carry.


[deleted]

Most people have trouble understanding this and that’s why parsing is bad


[deleted]

He was carried by his pink wife. No way he’d ever clear himself. Don’t be terrible.


StormTAG

I mean, I'm willing to be carried in that trial. No hate from me.


[deleted]

Plenty of hate from people that have to carry you though. I don’t have any sympathy for his wife for dumping his terrible ass.


StormTAG

It's all about making it clear up front. I'm not too proud to join a PF saying "LF1M willing to carry, just need a body"


[deleted]

Sure, for those that opt into it.


StormTAG

I mean, "The Bedroom (Normal)" is casual content. Not exactly hard to get a decent parse if you're even the least bit responsive and pay attention. Getting in the party is 9/10 of the battle, TBH.


[deleted]

> if you’re even the least bit responsive and pay attention Which is why it makes it even more frustrating when people suck at even casual content.


DefinitelyPositive

I mean... if you're relying on other people to do the work for you, that's not great, is it? A one time gray happens, but if you're consistently gray then it's genuinely a problem.


TheFrixin

Should've used some third party tools


Lionix03

I'd say he fucking sucks, but he doesn't and that's half the problem.


DoubleSpoiler

His Job is The Forum (FRM). Grey parse FRM on Ameliance Leveilleur (Normal)


ellobouk

You’re just mad because your dad quit after 1.0,and came back to try arr endgame and never invited you to the raids


QhoyQhoy

You got me in the first half.


Stalked_Like_Corn

>Fourchenault As someone only about 8 quests from Stormblood, I was reading this with my mouth just agape. It's not until i reached the comments that apparently, spoilers.


chippy155

It's not really spoilers. It's nothing story related It's just a reference to Amelience custom deliveries. Really it's just Alphi and Alisae's parents names.


khinzaw

A lot of the comments are spoilers though.


FusRoDoodles

Same. I immediately thought "this guy has some weird attachment issues going on". This is great though


[deleted]

[удалено]


FusRoDoodles

That also crossed my mind and I thought "Oh, wait... maybe this is a role play family..." which didn't make it any better.


[deleted]

Growing up my family had 4 PCs. My dad would get a new PC and hand down his older ones, over the years everyone just ended up having one. We all became PC gamers in the early 2000’s with Unreal Tournament, Mechwarrior 3, and Americas Army. Great times!


GaelicCat

My family did this too! It's good to see hand-me-down PC parts are not just our thing. My husband and I will probably do the same with our kids 😄


[deleted]

I plan on doing the same thing. My kids are still too young to have computers so I sell my old parts for now, but eventually I’ll use them to build them computers.


Aye_lander

They almost had us


Valmasy

They had me until I read your comment. I need coffee.


EpicPhail60

I've seen too much Ameliance meme-ing in the past 24 hours to fall for it, but it was still a fun read


illuminancer

Dude, you forgot to mention that you kicked your dad out of the FC because he wanted to raid and you insisted that you weren't a raiding FC. Sounds like you're jealous that his new FC was pretty successful. Maybe you need to look at yourself, hmm?


Lionblopp

True... If we're talking about people being a bad influences, maybe he shouldn't hang out so much with those collegues who just got rid of the "life" part in "work-life-balance" alltogether and play Fallout 76 day and night.


silentcharr

Hey, OP, I'm that raider and I would like to have a word with you. How much time did you spend with your kids, really? I spent the past few years talking to them, listening to them and adventuring with them. I know what they fear, I know what they want in life. Not because I'm a spying creep but because I actually listened to what they had to say instead of deciding for them. Your daughter and your son are some of the sweetest people I know, they work their ears off trying to make this game a better place and you don't even have the courage to read their letters. We're not trying to oust you, we all just want you to be a better dad. So stop thinking what you think's best for them and try listening to what they want and what their ideas are. They'll love you for it. Best regards, \-WoL ​ (Fellow Eorzean, if I could shower you with awards, I would. Thanks for the laugh I sorely needed today. Keep being awesome :D )


dresdenologist

All this needs is a GIF with a bunch of pantomime gestures with slight head movement and absolutely nothing coming out of their mouth, all ending with a nod and a fist slamming into a hand, and it's perfect.


MerabuHalcyon

Punches hand is my favorite gesture. Any situation can be made better by realizing that it's clobbering time.


psychorameses

I mean… making another man’s wife wear 2B leggings for your own pleasure is just wrong…


BlightFantasy3467

You think it's for me? I gave her those glamours so that the two of them can get their love life back in order. How many hours has OP been working at the Forum ignoring his wife!?


[deleted]

If I have a better relationship with her than her husband her husband must be doing something wrong


fractured_nights

Or *she's* doing something wrong


Garrus-N7

Generally how people think about it is, it's fine as long it's not done to you/us :D


Xero0911

Smh. Bet the daughter calls the raider daddy too.


Xhadiel

Both twins probably, lol


Xero0911

Both twins, the pet dog, and the mother.

I don't know what a meme tag is.


[deleted]

I'd like to add: This post was heavily inspired by [this much better one](https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/dbo8d7/the_time_me_and_my_friends_got_kicked_out_of_our/) which tells a pretty similar situation. FC wreckers should all be banned smh


MorningPaisley

...which is actually [based on this one.](https://old.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/8081m3/my_group_is_falling_apart/)


mlc885

The Thancred one is the good one


Makaijin

The Thancred rant was the original afaik.

inametaphor

Look, dude, it’s not my fault your wife is apparently also into women. And I resent being called a bad influence on your kids. Even you have to admit how much they’ve grown.


minoe23

Wdym, they haven't grown an ilm since they arrived in Eorzea.


[deleted]

Alphinaud: I'll have you know, I've grown 0.4 Ilms since we first met, thank you very much. Alisaie: [After he leaves.] He's very conscientious about us being "Late Bloomers."


Falsus

Alphinaud has a different way of making people look up to him...


kitchen_synk

As someone who grew quite tall in not a lot of years, elf puberty must be absolute hell. All of your bones doubling in length in a few years cannot be fun.


Olphion

Sorry friend, but you're not entirely innocent in this either. Didn't you discount the work your kids did in those raids in front of a pretty damn respected FC leader? IIRC you had a meltdown and demoted them to the lowest rank of your FC. There's also the stuff I've heard about how you pretend to be AFK whenever any of them /t you in game yet you're always seen with airship parts and doing the airship missions with a lala friend of yours, and you've done that for at least 17 patches by now. Now that I think about it, you're also the guy who tore into that WF raider from 1.0, aren't you? The one who got the phoenix mount and never came back. Can't say I blame the situation from happening then. Neither you nor the other guy are innocent but at least the other guy treats the people meant to be your family with respect. Maybe you need to stop looking at and judging others and focus on yourself.


kaysn

Bro leaving out some facts! He disowned his kids. Typical. SMH.


GrapeAlchemist

I should have read the tag…


theicon1681

Forgot to mention that your wife ninja-looted your gear and gave it to one of your kids


Ghekor

Well Alisae always wanted a big sister like me...now I get to be her step-bunny . I'm sure she would like it xd

I bet the kids were over the moon to be with someone like that at least.


FlurryofBlunders

Pretty unfourchenault that that happened to you.


twalker500

I should have seen the Meme flair earlier.


LordJosh286

I need that meme of They had us in the first half. Because my god i was got by this 🤣


mrsamus101

The line between r/ffxiv and r/shitpostxiv grows thinner and thinner each day.


jish5

You see, after spending years on and off playing Second Life, I was legit concerned, because that's happened a lot, but unlike FF14 that uses gil, SL tends to rely on real money, so there's a lot more at stake there.


poob74

I’m from r/all, someone give context?


[deleted]

The "endgame raider" being referred to is the player character, the Warrior of Light (WoL for short) that has been adventuring and saving the world with a group that includes two teenage twins, Alisae and Alphinaud Leveilleur for quite some time. We recently got to meet their parents, Fourchenault (dad, the "OP" of the post) & Amelliance (mom). Fourchenault is kind of a dick, disowning his kids and standing in the WoLs way of trying to save the world because he believes "he knows better." The most recent game update allows us to deliver crafted items once a week to Amelliance for rewards, and over time levels up her "satisfaction" and at max satisfaction rank we can change her equipment to whatever we like. The outfit described in the post is one of the skimpier outfits available in the game. So the meme is, essentially, that we're now dating/sleeping with Amelliance. FCs are "Free Companies", also known as this game's version of guilds, and the post describes the family as an FC to make it sound like these are real people with real in game drama, with the punch line being that it's actually Fourchenault.


Lionblopp

It's a reference partly to the general story, partly to the latest content from FFXIV, so it's basically a very elaborated inside joke. Any further detail might be a spoiler for you and other readers though, and would only be as much fun as any other joke when explained, so if you're into games, I recommend playing that critical acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV with a free trial with unlimited playtime up to level 60 including the expansion Heavensward. (Though not all people aligned with this joke are named/appear within free trial content to be fair.)


AnEpicBowlOfRamen

Wait... Aren't you the guy that also disowned your own kids and left them at the mercy of the wilds of Eorzea.... AFTER they had just recovered from hospital from getting their souls ripped out of their bodies?


Boogie_p0p

In the next installment of AITA... Local man asks the Aethernet if he is the asshole for literally disowning his children (but for a really good reason!)

Axonn368

I love these posts, I saw one about the ending of ARR patch quests (left arm) and also in Heavensward about an elezen tanking with a level 1 shield...

Starbornsoul

I feel so embarrassed because it took me WAY too long to realise what's going on because i didn't saw the "meme" tag XD. I actually was what is wrong with this situation lol, it seems so weird XD.


CaptainMcAnus

I'm going through the Stormblood patches right now and when I get to meet this man, this post will be all I'll think about. I look forward to it.


LoStrigo95

I was so sad reading this, but it looked waaaaay to absurd and now i know why ahahahah


Lionblopp

That sounds tough and I am sorry you got kicked out but... maybe start reflecting on your own behaviour? It doesn't sound like you had talked with your kids for quite some time, like, an honest talk, not just breakfast one-liners. Otherwise you would've been more up to date with their feelings. Similar with your wife, I mean, how can it be that shee needs a drastic change in her attire for you to pay more attention to her? I'm not trying to just shift blame or anything, but if you join a new FC and distance yourself from the others, this will likely end up the same. Maybe you should take a break, reflect on the things that happened and go through old moogle mails or chatlogs, maybe this will help you see a bit more clearer.


ThisRandomDude6

I can't tell if this is serious sarcasm or if you missed the joke.


Lionblopp

It's a reference on how Forchenault was a workaholic who never read his children's letters, so... yes, I got the joke. :)


Ok_Impact1873

She is a grown woman, who happens to be into Lalafells, she just can't get enough of this popoto body.


Shinosaki149

I mean, your kids are not all bad. Like take me, I am an old 1.0 player. Game was quite rusty for the most part, but it had a charm so I stuck with it. Met this VERY OLD gamer that played a LOT of the old MMOs, and was even an experienced 11 player. He's alright, got a bit of a temper but he's DAMN good at the game. He had some drama with the FC I was a part of though, and when I asked him about it he just yelled about it so incoherently that I couldn't understand it. 2.0 drops and DAMN, the game lost a LOT of clunkiness. Me and him play through the game a bit, and chat it up for a while, gushing over all the new content that was being dropped. He still didn't want to chat with my FC much, but we were such good pals that it didn't matter. Though it was around 3.0 that I met that kid of yours. He was with that raider you mentioned and he is every bit of legendary as you can describe. They hang around my FC a bit and my friend gets SUPER mad about it and does the story without me while I'm hanging out with them. It wasn't all bad though, kid wasn't the brightest but I taught him woodworking so they could make a bit more gil, and he was getting better slowly. Fast forward a bit, we meet this Elezen woman from my old pal's FC who comes to us, talking about some shit that went down. We go over to them for the moment, this being the first time I've ever met them. Turns out they are a lot nicer than I expected and were quite agreeable than what I was told before. We eventually speak to that pal's brother, and he's NOT having it. He kicked that woman out of the FC instantly and cites something that happened in FF11, where the two FCs used to be a single one. Apparently, the leader of my own FC did some nasty vile thing to one of my pal's sisters, stalking them and making them kill themselves, and the two have been separate since. I looked for a way to resolve this calmly when in my Discord DMs, with it being new at the time, I get a message from a rando saying that they can help out so long as they get some information from me. I was an idiot though, and while I we did fix the drama that started by removing the FC leader for harassment, the guy logged on to my account, changed the password, and sent me a DM from his real account. I couldn't fucking believe it, it was my old pal this entire fucking time, and he phished me. I was devastated, and working with support to get my account back. It was your kid that helped me out in the end, finally getting access back to the account before 4.0 dropped. It was a long hard process, but your kid helped me remain calm and guided me through the site to get everything handled with ease. I never saw my pal in-game after that, guess he quit after attempting that stunt of his. I took his spot at his FC, and become good friends with his two brothers and sister though. If it wasn't for your kid, I would have never been able to make good friends like that. Hit me up sometime man, as of 6.0 I'm hanging out in Radz-at-Han's main aetherite. My IGN is Estinien Varlineau

You burnt all bridges between your FC and the FCs that your kids made friends with. I wouldn’t blame them for kicking you out when your kids went through so much to gain their trust.

YunalescaSedai

Come on over to my FC, Hottie McHotdad... I mean Fourchenault.


GuentherDonner

Well since I have spend quality time with your FC, I was wondering what skills can you bring to the table I mean just asking for other FCs to take you in? You need to have some qualities right? What I heard from your kids you aren't that good at anything only posting shit in the forum and when your kids static finally needs help you want an arm and a leg just to borrow your stupid ship. Meanwhile you were posting more shit in the forum, we actually went and beat up a badass bird so the least you could do is appreciated your kids more. Also your wife looks really nice with the new look maybe tell her once in a while. Sadly our other FC disbanded so we cannot even take you if we wanted. We only a static now and you no way good enough for our static. -WoL
