Players meme 'Mario Teaches Typing' showing up in FFXIV Gold Saucer chatter

gamingJul 25, 202624455

Final Fantasy XIV players are buzzing about a new Gold Saucer typing minigame revealed during the keynote, with many joking it is basically Mario Teaches Typing or Typing of the Dead inside Eorzea. Posts center on FF7 crossover talk and specific shoutouts like Barret and Tifa outfits alongside players invoking Mavis Beacon and Yoshi-P Teaches Typing as training regimens. Several players describe frenzied preparation, from a spouse furiously completing typing tests on another account to someone claiming they will "live in the new Gold Saucer" when it drops. The moment is threaded with gleeful disbelief, a shout-laughed post about getting dizzy, and in-jokes about Eorzean fonts and keybound brawler antics on the Gold Saucer floor.

they said they're open to collabs outside of gaming so get ready for the Mary Shelley's Frankenstein x FFXIV collab

The words are all just increasingly misspelled monsters from ff8 for some reason

I can understand FF7 fatigue but 7 is the only mainline FF besides 10 to not get a huge reference in 14 (besides materia and the gold saucer ig). 8 also had a raid series and Dawntrail is just a big love letter to 9. It's 7's turn.

Also weapons series and meteor project in 1.0 but yeah, it's mostly promo due to the timing of remake finishing, I reckon

Also worth mentionin' all the FF4 mentions (bosses and villains and such) in post-MSQ Endwalker!!

Dawntrail also was a love letter to X, as well. A few X themes, along with Living Memory, just being a nod to Dream Zanarkand from X.

Green Bean - Greening it up as a tank1

It got the Weapons in Sorrows of Werlyt as well as Ultima Weapon's kinda throughout

It genuinely boggles my mind seeing people complain about the FF collab stuff with FF7 in the uhhhhh… idk, the game that is an entire celebration of the entire Final Fantasy franchise? I’m not the one to usually be an asshole about this type of thing, but actually shut the fuck up lmfao

Understand that she doesn't otherwise play and the last time she engaged with XIV was during Endwalker when I had her playing Triple Triad with random NPCs so I could shower without being kicked off for afk
