8 Hilarious Jokes Hidden In Video Game Item Descriptions
1. Basically Everything - Final Fantasy XIV
So I won't lie to you, when it came to researching entries for this list, one game above all else cropped up again and again, to the extent that I found its appearances quite distracting. Not that I'm truly complaining though because when it comes to item descriptions sure to leave you with split sides akin to a headbutt from Chainsaw Man, Final Fantasy XIV basically sets the bar.
And I say this because the text on some of these items are insane.
Take the Grade 4 Artisinal Skybuilders Astroscope that states people use the item to stare into the open-air baths around the land, and that while technically true that this action does not constitute observation of "heavenly bodies". Or how about the healing item that people aren't told the name of because they might gag (the name is arsefluff for the record)? Or how about the absolutely demented rendition of Flo Rida's "Low" through the description found on the Rareified Applewood Staff?
Seriously that last one nearly did me in.
There are so many, so many, hilarious item descriptions that it's nearly impossible to list them all, and players across multiple servers now dedicate themselves to cataloging all these hilarious scraps of text. God speed and God bless to them I say.
