I was…underwhelmed by MSQ, but honestly that’s not a bad thing in this case? The finales of ARR and HW were…VERY intense and I’m actually glad its not a ridiculous cliffhanger in the same way because the wait until the expansion would be more painful, i think.

I didn’t dislike the MSQ, it was just very short. Elidibus is a cheating bastard. Estinien cameo made me happy. (he hasn’t changed much, lol. I did wonder how he managed to carry Imry all on his own, though. She’s probably got a good 75 lbs on him at the least, not including armor.) Aymeric was very sweet and the gutpunch when you realize how worried he and Edmont were about you… ;____;

Poor Tataru. She continues to have no grasp of Imry’s style, though. XD (its all right, the outfit looks pretty good on other people.)

I’ve been slacking so i have 2 more ranks of SB Beast tribes to go but I’m looking forward to more Dumbass Catboy Shenanigans. (Also 1 rank of Moogles for HW ones…)

Hildy was…Hildy. The trial was really great; its not often that i think wiping multiple times is “fun”, lol. (I was a bit rusty at tanking after raiding as a healer for so long, but i got to use pretty much everything in the PLD arsenal for it.)

Worth it for the dance, imho.

Other stuff: so, when the origin of the Voice was still being hotly debated, i pointed out to Aki that they use “ware” in Japanese; it’s a very…sort of archaic formal pronoun. In FFXIV usually older non-human beings use it, like dragons and stuff. (Afaik Nidhogg does when he’s not speaking in Dragonspeak, if i recall correctly) My guess was honestly Zodiark because of that, esp since i didn’t think it sounded like anyone else we’d met before, so the options were either a new character, or a character that hadn’t been voiced yet.

Aki actually brought up G'raha, since they know someone who plays the JP version of the game. (Since the CT storyline isnt voiced, i didn’t pick up on his speech patterns at all.) Apparently he uses "ware" because he’s a huge fuckin history nerd, more or less. I originally dismissed the idea because i figured SE wasn’t going to force people to do CT for MSQ. But it seems like they’re moving more towards “this stuff happened in the timeline where it was released even if you the player havent completed it yet” sort of thing. (This also means a bunch of people no longer have a meta immunity to being killed off…eeep.)

I was honestly going back and forth after the trailer because…well…where are his ears!! But maybe showing the person being a Miqo'te would make the guess too easy? (Esp because there are so few dude Miqo'te…) Also there are more than a few hoods players can wear that hide their ears, even if it looks dumb imho. So…yeah, once i saw him in game, I was pretty convinced. We’ll see!

I’m almost relieved there’s no more major content til July honestly. I’ve got all my DoH/DoL to finish leveling (plus the rest of my DPS classes ;___;) so the rest of my spring is going to be Inventory Management Hell.

If anyone on Adamantoise is willing to have random crafts mailed to them so i don’t go insane trying to find space for it all, lmk. :p

uuugg they changed the lines again. instead of patience, what alphinuad realizes is that he's not alone in this.

He says "mou iichidou". ;_; that’s the spirit, rise again

Did we just get adopted??? Like Hauchefant asked his father to add us to the family registry? So this reminds me, Japan base registration system is around the family registry which records people under a nuclear family system. Different prefectures and wards handle same gender partnerships differently but one way for a same gender couple to be legally considered family is for the parents to adopt the other person and have them added to their family registry.

we’re a chest height lol

I staged a hostile takeover. this is my camp now.

So aetherytes are obviously there for player convenience but they are a part of the lore too like Y’shtola makes use of the kobold aetheryte to teleport us to Titan and finding Iceheart’s broken aetheryte is a plot point, and characters mention popping around eorzea casually. If aetheryte travel is so common though, why aren’t goods transported this way? Even if you can’t take a cart, if you are going long distance carrying one box at a time is going to be faster than a chocobo cart. So I doubt the aetheryte actually feeds on gil, so its either the town/city taxing aetheryte travel or its meant to represent some sort of aether cost. Our next problem then is Ishgard which is notoriously isolationist. They make a big deal about how the gate on the Step of Faith are the only way in or out of the city but that really defeats the purpose if people can teleport in from anywhere on the network. So I don’t know what’s going on there. I mean mechanically Ishgard has an aetheryte for player convenience.

hmmm

she’s trying so hard not to swear

so the level 50-60 dol/doh quests lead you to ishgard so if we are talking timeline wise it makes sense that this all happens after ishgard opens up which i havent gotten to yet

definitely one of the sanguine sirens. you know Melkoko, there’s this thing called gap moe, i hear some people are into it.

because 2 sherlock holmes reference characters weren’t enough

The scions of the seventh dawn really is a mess, as an organization. We are so lucky Yugiri already has a command structure for her people.

so that’s Lousioux, thancred, y’shtola, papalymo, urianger, moebrynda, rammbroes. makes 7. the twins make 9, who are the 3 im missing

that’s.. kind of cruel. trapped and used to power a machine but not allowed to die for centuries

ah so alisaie’s adventures spans from 2.5 through 3.0? Kind of a shame they locked the coils behind a difficulty wall so most people don’t get to see Alisaie’s story.

so... a couple things. 1 I forgot that party finder exists, and 2 I forgot about unsynced content. so being a dumbass I tried using the duty finder to do the EX trials. I wanted to finish the quests more than I actually wanted to do the trials but anyways I got carried though about half of them and learned the basic mechanics of the other half. So I queued up for Ramuh extreme as a paladin for once and when we got in this other dude who was tanking got on my case for not being an expert at a trial I had never done before. Afterwards though a bunch of the party members helped me out of spite for that dude and it was very sweet everyone helping me. we partied up and a bunch of level 80′s crushed the trials and the bahamut coils. So for anyone who’s ever stood up to a bully or helped out a sprout... Thank you! Most people I meet on ffxiv are endlessly kind and make this game wonderful to play!
