The 'Such Devastation... This Was NOT My Intention' meme originates from the popular MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. During the climax of the Praetorium dungeon, the primary antagonist Gaius van Baelsar utters this line after witnessing the overwhelming destructive power of the Ultima Weapon. Because players were required to run this dungeon repeatedly for daily rewards, the unskippable cutscene and Gaius’s overly dramatic delivery became ingrained in the community's consciousness. Today, the meme is used to describe situations where a small action leads to a disproportionately large and disastrous outcome, often applied to software bugs, relationship drama, or everyday mishaps where the speaker pretends to be shocked by the chaos they've caused.
