Susanoo is so good
AzureChrysanthemum
He's just having a good time
★ тяу-нαя∂уи
he’s vibing
xyzzy
it is with a heavy heart that I must inform you that this is a Zenos quote
AzureChrysanthemum
Boo
AzureChrysanthemum
Although yeah that does sound like him now that I look at it more
xyzzy
I'm the secret shame of the community, the terrible Zenos fan
xyzzy
he's fucking nothing but he's so good at it
xyzzy
the "Only man has the wisdom and the clarity to pursue violence for its own sake" speech is transcendent
moontouched
zenos has exactly one dimension and it's the flat end of a sword
moontouched
he knows exactly what it's about and there's no attempt to make him anything else
moontouched
it rules
xyzzy
WE TOWER ABOVE THE GODS! YOU BY YOUR GIFT, I BY MY MIGHT!
xyzzy
AND BEFORE THE RESONANT, THE GODS SHALL BE MADE TO KNEEL!
★ тяу-нαя∂уи
he’s got the depth of a puddle but the puddle is acid
★ тяу-нαя∂уи
love that for him
AzureChrysanthemum
I'm mostly dubious of him being back in Endwalker
AzureChrysanthemum
But Ishikawa is amazing so I'm sure it'll be fun
xyzzy
Quazii coming to learn a common FF14 emotion:
xyzzy
when a boss attack is coming, you run to where you think safety is
xyzzy
and watch the players who all know the fight run somewhere else
AzureChrysanthemum
God I'm just remembering his E10S video
AzureChrysanthemum
I can't wait for you to get there

me every time
連続犬
I love zenos so much
連続犬
i think what sold me on zenos is like
連続犬
it would be less fun if zenos was a privileged spoiled brat
連続犬
but you come to learn that zenos gives literally absolutely ZERO fucks about his birthright
連続犬
he could have come from literal nothing, and still probably been like this
AzureChrysanthemum
Zenos feels like an actually evil Zaraki Kenpachi and there's definitely a place for that
連続犬
when it came time to choose whether he wanted to have a cool fight with you or whether he wanted to not blow up garlemald, there was not a SINGLE moment of hesitation
連続犬
the man committed a regicide-patricide twofer, not because killing his dad, the only thing keeping garlemald remotely together, was the quickest way to take the throne
連続犬
but because Varis' whole thing would have denied Zenos the chance to get his cool rematch
AzureChrysanthemum
Zenos Yae Galvus - preventing chemical weapon genocide in order to have a sick-ass fight
連続犬
YEAH
連続犬
LITERALLY HIS ONLY REASON
連続犬
THAT RULES
連続犬
sometimes a good villain isn't the one that makes you think the most about the themes of the story
連続犬
sometimes it's just the one who has exactly one motivation and doubles down at EVERY single possible opportunity
LOVE & PEATH
a key thing that makes him fun is that he's an incredible gigantic liability for the enemy
連続犬
zenos does not give a single fuck if you're on his side
LOVE & PEATH
he's dimly aware there are people who think the purpose of a war is to win it
連続犬
if you are between him and his destined rematch, you are an obstacle
連続犬
and he will remove you without pretense
LOVE & PEATH
he thinks they need to get more into the spirit of things
LOVE & PEATH
with the Endwalker buildup he's finally found a way to be a bigger problem than the Empire would be without him
LOVE & PEATH
but he's that big of a problem for the Empire too
Ken
Sven we are on the exact same wavelength about Zenos and I hear people outside plurk talk about how bad a villain he is and I feel like I’m going crazy
LOVE & PEATH
would a lot of these people be on reddit by any chance
LOVE & PEATH
that's where I mostly see it and I also see a lot of Lyse bashing and occasionally people complaining that more characters should die
LOVE & PEATH
so I just kind of write it off as the sub being a quarantine for all the FFXIV players who are genetically unable to form good opinions
xyzzy
I definitely know Zenos-dislikers
xyzzy
and like, I get it
xyzzy
Endwalker is not going to sell anyone on Zenos
Ken
I try to blot out Reddit opinions, so no actually!
xyzzy
either you're already on board by this point or you never will be
EsperBot
I think he was a perfectly functional, if not super compelling, villain for Stormblood, but I'm very skeptical of his return for Endwalker
Ken
I trust Ishikawa, basically.
EsperBot
I trust Ishikawa I just don't see how she's going to get him over again
moontouched
zenos is refreshingly simple in a world where a lot of people have very complicated motivations and sometimes you just need the ONE murderhobo
EsperBot
I was actually WAY more on board with him coming back during his murderhobo phase during patch contents
EsperBot
now he's in charge of stuff again and that was always the weakest role he played in Stormblood
AzureChrysanthemum
Really the schemer of the two is Fandaniel
AzureChrysanthemum
Who I am SO EXCITED to murder
Ken
In fairness he’s not so much in charge of Garlemald right now as he is, uh. Using them as target practice.
AzureChrysanthemum
Yeah Zenos is basically going along becausue he was promised a Sick Ass Fight
xyzzy

AzureChrysanthemum
And that will continue until he feels his Sick Ass Fight is threatened

zenos and damn daniel are everything i needed in life
連続犬
yeah zenos is going along with all this entirely because fancy dan promised the WoL was going to HAVE to show up to unfuck things
連続犬
at which point he would get his cool rematch
連続犬
as soon as that stops being a thing that looks possible zenos is going to stop caring
AzureChrysanthemum
omg Fancy Dan I love it
Ken
My WoL is a DRK main so I just take him being RPR as trying to out edgelord her for my own play through head canon
連続犬
FANCY DAN
連続犬
honestly the usage of asahi for fancy dan's body puppet was
連続犬
a fucking masterstroke
LOVE & PEATH
we get to kill him!
★ тяу-нαя∂уи
i feel like zenos needed a feral little jester man to balance him out and i’m living
AzureChrysanthemum
It's so good
Ken
“Give him a face everyone will hate”
xyzzy
for my own WoL story, I think she actually is looking forward to Zenos Wrestlemania
連続犬
my WoL is absolutely looking forward to Zenos At Lunaslam
Ken
Mine definitely is.
xyzzy
he's really big and fun to punch
xyzzy
and there are still parts of his face that remain unpunched
Ken
She has matured and gotten to be less of a feral murderhobo herself... but is absolutely down to throw hands with him.
★ тяу-нαя∂уи

xyzzy
in other news, I hear that there was confirmation that tier 1 of Pandemonium will contain no returning FF characters
xyzzy
all uniques
AzureChrysanthemum
I'm very interested in the new raids for Endwalker
連続犬
i honestly can't imagine there were be anything MAJOR returning from other FFs for either pandemonium OR Myths of the Twelve
連続犬
there will probably be some called shots to other final fantasies, like how Eden was wholly original content but very much was pulling direction shots and some aesthetics from 8
xyzzy
Eden had six fights that were remixes of known primals and the first fight was deadass a summon from ff8
xyzzy
that's over half returning bosses
連続犬
ah, i got confused by the metric you were judging on
xyzzy
if the name of the boss makes you go "ah, that one"
xyzzy
Pandemonium is supposedly going to be all brand new concepts
連続犬
huh, interesting
xyzzy
aside from, I guess, the title
xyzzy
which was a dungeon in... 2? 3?
Let's scamper!
It was the final dungeon in 2!
xyzzy
that
xyzzy
I think I was mixing it up with Eureka in 3
Let's scamper!
It was the castle of hell, because after you kill the evil emperor earlier in the game, he deadass goes and kills Satan and takes over hell and then raises the castle to earth to resume conquering, which, knowing it has something to do with Lahabrea, and that Emet-Selch was Hades, is hilarious to me.
EsperBot
I mean, Lahabrea's in the promo art so I imagine that he'll show up at SOME point
xyzzy
in the remake he conquers heaven too
xyzzy
Zenos's obsession with fighting the WoL is at least a little funnier if you're a potato
xyzzy
Zenos MUST fight that first grader
xyzzy
burning down the world for a chance to fist-fight a toddler in the Arby's parking lot
