[ffxiv] endwalker spoilers - MSQ complete probably mostly flailing over [spoiler] boyfriends hereafter.
kikibug13
well. /adds a certain gleaner to list of favorite nps
kikibug13
npcs*
kikibug13
and
kikibug13
the bgm in Sharlayan reminds me SO MUCH of ffxv
a single ghost
THE BOY (I'm guessing it's THE BOY I am also very fond of him)
kikibug13
THE BOY
kikibug13
also amelimom is GREAT
kikibug13
but the boy is absolutely amazing.
a single ghost
I am just growing instantly attached to every npc it's amazing
kikibug13
it's the magic of ffxiv
kikibug13
oh dear gods I saw 'the magus sisters' and IMMEDIATE ffiv flashbacks
kikibug13
I see raha gets assigned the role of sleeping beauty semi-permanently.
kikibug13
oh gods vrtra just poked an implication of what might be coming after the zodiark and hydaelin story is done
kikibug13
I am afeared.
kikibug13
Vrtra: Keep your loved ones safe
Next shot: Alphinaud and Alisaie come in
kikibug13
me: YOU FUCKERS
kikibug13
Krile: Poor Estinien. Beset on all sides. /tea sip
kikibug13
You must have the patience of a saint to put up with their antics and those of matoya's prize student
kikibug13
Montichaigne definitely is up there too
ᴍᴏɴᴏʟɪᴛʜs.
Erenville is a delight
kikibug13
ABSOLUTELY
kikibug13
... Jullus also reasonably good boy
ᴍᴏɴᴏʟɪᴛʜs.
Yeah I turned around on him and wanted to hug him lol
kikibug13
sob
kikibug13
zenos is a little shit, news at eleven.
kikibug13
w o w ... this duty is a PAIN
a single ghost
if it's the one I'm thinking, if you check the sacks
a single ghost
one of them will give you a regen to offset the lack of natural regeneration
kikibug13
that wasn't the issue
a single ghost
Ah
kikibug13
I couldn't find the key
kikibug13
health wise I did fine
a single ghost
Ah, I had the opposite problem where not having health regen made me so cautious that I was really struggling to look around
kikibug13
but I ran out of time
kikibug13
I am pretty good at sneaking around normally and also if you run far enough they will leave you alone
ᴍᴏɴᴏʟɪᴛʜs.
If I have to do one more stealth mission I’m going to lose it this isn’t assassin’s creed
ᴍᴏɴᴏʟɪᴛʜs.
I’m pretty sure everyone says not to bother with the duty at normal, just die and go straight to easy lol. As soon as I swapped to easy I burned through it
kikibug13
I took it on easy but I think I could have done it on normal
kikibug13
it's not exactly HORRIBLE once you know what you need to do
kikibug13
I'm laughing because I just called the first trial equal opportunity misery re tanking it and I'm not going back on that. (It's extra hell for the healers which is why I'm running first as smn so I can raise healers if necessary)
a single ghost
It is a nightmare. I'm very fond of it but wow I am bad at spatial awareness and I keep forgetting that it's the aoes that move around, not me
a single ghost
And reading the star charts wrong
a single ghost
and the akh morn isn't bad if everyone's stacked but if even one person isn't it's a disaster
a single ghost
I love the fight but I'm fond of nonsense fights and dying
kikibug13
Literally the boy was better at calling the safe spots than me but that's fine
kikibug13
one of the people in the raid marked and had absolutely precision
kikibug13
so for the rotations and some of the stars I'd follow and we did fine in the end but DAMN
kikibug13
oh yeah the stacks need to be everyone who's alive and healers heal ALL THE TIME
kikibug13
but it's doable.
kikibug13
(also as smn I was healing myself just in case)
kikibug13
this just in (not just in, this is forever): I love G'raha Tia.
kikibug13
Little bundle of hope, exactly what he need PLEASE DON'T LET ANYTHING HAPPEN TO HIM
kikibug13
oh gods
kikibug13
Emet PLEASE
kikibug13
Also Hythlodaeus still best boy
kikibug13
A little thin on the aether, but definitely Azem's soul
emet: don't ask me. all I know is that it's trouble - doubly so if it's her spitting image.
kikibug13
also my entire thought at the bringing me up to interactable shape:
kikibug13
how MUCH has Emet been missing Hythlodaeus for like. 12 thousand years???
kikibug13
... yeah Hyth is flawless tyvm.
kikibug13
... ah. For all his earnestness I see he's already a clown. https://images.plurk.com/1lDgkuEDfCmhNgp34fjTDe.png
kikibug13
Mankind is the life of Etheirys. Each of us a drop of blood flowing through its veins, bearing sustenance.
kikibug13
oh
kikibug13
Hyth handing us parts of the key to a solution here
kikibug13
In our finite time upon it, 'tis our duty to make it a better place, that all who call it home now and in the future may abide in happiness
kikibug13
HYTH gosh
kikibug13
And when they depart upon this journey, it is beautiful. Always.
kikibug13
b o y
kikibug13
T_T
kikibug13
Meteion so SWEET
kikibug13
Dynamis is much weaker than aether and so is drowned out by it
kikibug13
that... explains why the boom happens where aether is thinnest...
kikibug13
OH outside of our star, dynamis may be more powerful than aether
kikibug13
.. which goes with my theories that a. the final days were initiated by something outside of the star and b. that once we've cleared this we'll have to deal with whatever Mirgardsormr was running away from. Hi, Omega origin.
kikibug13
If I'm thin (on auther), it's because Emet-Selch didn't do a proper job.
kikibug13
I'm
kikibug13
... I think I'll pick the digging on emet dialogue option.
kikibug13
.. no I won't, not with this alt.
kikibug13
then he made a dig at me. Brat.
kikibug13
a thinness of aether might make it easier to interact with Dynamis.
And limited though its influence may be, this quality could prove the difference between victory and defeat. You'd do well not to underestimate it.
kikibug13
YOU TOO, BRO. though ig he may have.
kikibug13
gods how much did this one remember and did he actually.... not really want for the mystery to be solved
kikibug13
Convocation, writing for my own reference
kikibug13
Mitron - specialist in aquatic life
Loghrif - specialist in terrestrial life and husbandry
Halmarut, specialist in fungal and plant life
Emmeroloth, specialist in medicine and healing
Lahabrea, specialist in creation magicks
kikibug13
Altima, advocate of the arts
Igeyorhm, champion of enlightenment an rhetoric
Pashtarot, preserver of discipline and order
Emet-Selch, keeper of the aetherial realm - or Underworld
Fandaniel, pursuer of Extant phenomena
kikibug13
Azem, traveler of the world and counselor to the people.
kikibug13
that's eleven but It's good
kikibug13
i'm
kikibug13
the Hyth - Emet (and likely Azem) dynamic. I'm living for it.
kikibug13
also gods, Hermes. You got so broken.
kikibug13
Hyth, re Emet: `He will be disinclined to cooperate at first, but you mustn't be discouraged. With our friend, the trick is to be unflaggingly persistent.
kikibug13
... Truth be told, he wasn't the first choice for the office. I was - on the strength of my ability to see aether.
kikibug13
Hyth
kikibug13
HYTH.
kikibug13
What good is the ability to perceive a problem if one cannot act to address it
kikibug13
/dies and is dead
kikibug13
I am adopting Hyth once the spoiler times fade out and most people have had a chance
kikibug13
to play through
kikibug13
`Her antics irritate Emet-Selch to no end, but much of his grumbling stems from genuine concern.
kikibug13
When our friend calls, he never fails to answer and lend his talents.
kikibug13
To help them realize their dreams - this will be my greatest contribution to our world. HYTH
kikibug13
HONEY
kikibug13
Hermes you heartbreaking BRAT
kikibug13
... Venat is the previous Azem, that tracks so well.
kikibug13
the echo: A treveler's ward. It prevents the corruption of one's aether.
kikibug13
oh guuurl
kikibug13
Nothing is impossible. This, I have always believed. well. I guess that is what determines who can be Azem.
kikibug13
Thus I suggest we fall back on the tried-and-true method of conversing with the locals
word, girl. Word.
kikibug13
boy comes home, me catching him up on where I got in msq: If anyone in this time caused this shit, it's Hermes sending out the baby girls
Me, looking at spoilers for something else. Ah. I nailed it, didn't I.
kikibug13
back to the queue, back to mentally screaming about Hythlodaeus
kikibug13
With our people's greatest minds - not to mention Hythlodaeus's sharp eyes
Emet
Your crush
It is showing.
kikibug13
Hythlodaeus: Hmm? Why am I always so forward thinking? I simply wish to enjoy all that life has to offer!
kikibug13
... if anyone is capable of not loving Hythlodaeus, it's not Emet. Nor Azem. Nor me.
kikibug13
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA https://images.plurk.com/z1D7EX0bWJRwBa2cbZqrZ.png
kikibug13
this is like the opposite of the river of forgetfulness...
kikibug13
https://images.plurk.com/7jftifiyiUNMsdUrVB9Eqf.png yeah I love a boy.
kikibug13
yeah I'm still not over their goodbye.
kikibug13
or anything about this trio
kikibug13
like the fact that Emet spent so LONG without his friends but he was the first to find himself in the aethereal sea
kikibug13
and then had to wait AGAIN until Hyth came back to him
kikibug13
or or or or
kikibug13
just
kikibug13
you can bet your ASS that if Emet had found us before when he did, we'd be like fandaniel, ascian with restored memory
kikibug13
but when she found us he was too busy setting up Solus's death and the following civil war
a single ghost
I love the detail that Hyth was meant to be Emet-Selch, and so Hades almost certainly feels like he should have been the one sacrificed instead
a single ghost
It makes it make so much sense that he could not see any other option
kikibug13
oh yeah he ABSOLUTELY could not see another option rather than trying to bring him back
kikibug13
and also added to his rage that WE don't remember and we're trying to stop him
kikibug13
back with more love for Jullus
kikibug13
Alisaie DAMN gurl
kikibug13
You'll be alone for eternity, and you'll deserve every agonizing second of it
kikibug13
I don't disagree.
kikibug13
perfect line must document.
kikibug13
https://images.plurk.com/7psMI3u6WNNjfOov6WXdty.png
kikibug13
Estinien BAM
kikibug13
these dialogue options
kikibug13
Good to haveth you back
kikibug13
may thy disciples banish this darkest of nights
kikibug13
/wheezes
kikibug13
the SAS
kikibug13
w ow I knew the punch in my Moenbryda feels was coming but DAMN that was good.
kikibug13
Okay but THINKY THOUGHTS .... when we were there in Elpis, Azem was part of the convocation. When Hyth sacrificed himself, Azem had quit the convocation (but not the seat of Azem). What the FUCK happened. What was Azem doing. Did Venat tell Azem so Azem tried to persuade the convocation and his friends, failed, and went to try to save humanity on their own?
kikibug13
ERENVILLE REMAINS ADOPTED
kikibug13
random thought but
kikibug13
I guess someone heard us all wanting to punt fandaniel
kikibug13
we get to do it THREE TIMES in endwalker
kikibug13
... wait
kikibug13
wait wait wait
kikibug13
was that cut scene hythlodaeus
kikibug13
or was it Haurche...
kikibug13
man so TEMPTED to post hythlo to the mistletoe meme with like. Face image but no name
kikibug13
kikibug13
RAHA
kikibug13
(I was SO tempted to choose the 'I can't, not again' option for him.)
a single ghost
sits here to make it worse because
kikibug13
gimme
kikibug13
oh kids.
a single ghost
compare and contrast Fandaniel's 'and it will be beautiful' about dying
a single ghost
with 'and it will be marvelous' on what dying means you lose
kikibug13
Much contrast because Fandaniel wanted to die and Raha did NOt
kikibug13
but yeah
a single ghost
I expect a personal apology note from se for putting G'raha in the sad robot area
a single ghost
my two weaknesses
kikibug13
kikibug13
everyone got hit right where it hurts.
kikibug13
damn I'm glad I'm doing this on this alt first
kikibug13
she's too broken already to actually break because of this.
kikibug13
but it's pushing even her.
kikibug13
okay I did finish
kikibug13
I'm glad that we called Emet and Hyth as a set.
kikibug13
because they effing go together
kikibug13
also the first trial was absolutely the hardest of the three and I kind of do like that
kikibug13
oh yeah this story hit so hard in so many ways
kikibug13
and the hope/despair thing is really rough for me. Not right this moment but generally
kikibug13
when meteion got to 'better than death is not ever having been born' I... needed a moment, sob
kikibug13
https://imgs.plurk.com/QzS/DC3/tlsylYeACsP5n7pIhPjyDN7byzT_lg.png
kikibug13
... doing my job questline and dang, artoriel, that's some white mage heals shit you're pulling here
kikibug13
well done
kikibug13
oh something small that I was reminded by starting with my second alt
kikibug13
Estinien calling Alphinaud my little lord my heart thudded.
kikibug13
oh fuuck Emet's voice over tells about finding the truth as we are boarding the ship
kikibug13
....
kikibug13
okay but in the cut scene when he's like. Ah the alchemists are making a thing
Fandaniel's voice changes from Asahi to Hermes
kikibug13
once I've heard Hermes that's... noticeable...
kikibug13
why
kikibug13
why do we get the sin eaters theme when faurchedad takes us to the forum
kikibug13
... my brain decided to entertain me on, how differently we treat our husbands
we throw an axe clear through the chest of one
we literally leap to take a hit for the other.
kikibug13
wait
kikibug13
wait
kikibug13
excuse
kikibug13
we not only get the emet-hyth goodbye
kikibug13
we get hyth's words before he finally leaves to rejoin hades
kikibug13

𝐃𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐃 𝐖𝐎𝐋𝐅. 🐺

kikibug13
You only find some pieces once you have the later story
kikibug13
UGH IF YOU MAKE AN EMET JOURNAL let me know
kikibug13
... wait
kikibug13
my brain shorted out
kikibug13
for a moment I thought it was someone else also adding hades
kikibug13
<3
𝐃𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐃 𝐖𝐎𝐋𝐅. 🐺
NOPE it is me falling into a pit

kikibug13
that's them, it's true.
kikibug13
my brain at 6 am in the loo: so Meteion is Pandora, the task they were given is Pandora's box, and at the bottom, after all the pain and disaster, you find hope
kikibug13
oh my GODS what Hythlodaeus says about remembering when they die? It's actually foreshadowed in the lecture that Alphinaud's teacher gives about the memory block on the forum members
kikibug13
STILL one of my favorite lines https://images.plurk.com/7EoF24rRo8mmr9N29HpNgq.png
kikibug13
the Azems, both mentor and student
a unit of their own
kikibug13

kikibug13

kikibug13
and people still have kneejerk reactions but she really has come into her own, and it's beautiful
yeetaflare
i love nanamo
kikibug13
:> one day I'll show you how we first meet her but you know the crux of what she meant to do and. Yeah.

ʀᴀɪɴʏ🌧️ᴍᴏᴏᴅ
Erenville remains a delight and a treasure, yes.
kikibug13
erenville is precious and awesome
