what I did NOT expect was "she's been holding on to this reserve of strength for millennia, just so you and your allies can face her down in a no-holds-barred deathmatch to prove you're bad enough dudes to handle the Endsinger"
Hydaelyn created the moon not just to bind zodiark but be an escape vessel, because if she won; her mandate was going to be to abandon the planet and her along with it
and like. doing the trial on trust, because of fucking course I did it on trust I'm not going to NOT take the Scions with me to deathmatch god, there was a little just, textural thing, that I noticed and that really got to me
anyway yeah that's my deep insight. fighting Hydaelyn with your fire-forged friends at your side, while they shout defiance to the tune of "You will not stop us!" and "Together, we shall overcome this!" is. well it sure gave me a feelings.
also re Venat I'm just... really glad and relieved overall, I was never one of those people who really bought into the "Hydaelyn is going to be a big bad" storybeat
When I hit a rhythm for it I find that SGE is really powerful in casual content too it just, sort of, can sometimes rely on your tanks actually. Hitting their cooldowns.
SGE has powerful CDs but they’re limited in such a way that if your tank is made of tissue paper and you burn them all you can quickly find yourself up a river and I don’t feel like it has
I had a run as DRK on the final MSQ dungeon yesterday with a SGE where my HP barely fluctuated much through a lot of it, so they CAN be potent it just. Is a bit of a learning curve/probably needs a little tweaking.
“I know how the Final Days are triggered, I am going to make the moon’s custodians something cute and comforting.”
Like the text of the story without even explicitly saying it explains exactly why the Loporrits are what they are.
