Hello and welcome to another archived episode of the Coffee & Carbuncles podcast. In this episode from 2023 my guests Astrid, Kitsu and myself discuss falling in love in Final Fantasy XIV. Some people say if you like someone you should tell them. Others shout that FFXIV is a game and not a dating app. Yet, what do people who have found love in game have to say about it? What side do they come down on in this debate? In this Valentione's Day themed episode we dive in to this topic!Note: Please excuse the audio quality. I did my best to make it better but I was experiencing audio issues in this interview that didn't seem to show up until after the interview had been fully recorded.00:00 Introduction 01:15 Interview part 1 34:15 Interlude 34:25 Interview Part 2 01:47:54 Closing Thoughts My Wonderful Guest: AstridMy Wonderful Guest: Kitsu My Linktree Account: Here Sound Credits: Door Chime My wonderful artist: Yae
