Because the second you introduce that "Oh, right. We changed the future like, 10 times," his entire motivation falls apart. You could justify this by saying 500 years is a damned long time.

I think he kind of gave up on the idea that things can really be changed in any major way when he ended up killing Cauis anyways despite trying to avoid precisely that scenario. I mean, he basically had Fate kick him right in the teeth at the end there and I think it broke him.

Been a while since I played, but I think I remember Gaunts getting access to Aeroga in later days. THAT'S when they really start sucking. Or I might be thinking of another enemy entirely. Anyway, Gaunts aren't the worst thing you'll run into there, not by a longshot.

No cat would ever call a person its "master". If cats could talk they would say something like, "You were always quite okay as my pet. But you're awful at hunting mice. How often do I have to show you how that's done, anyway? I loving brought you some which were barely alive anymore and laid them on your bed and you still messed it up!".

If you forget to pick up the Crest of Etro, you don't have to run all the way back. Another can be picked up at the phone booth where you gave them the numbers. Also you can just straight up kill the guy in the warrens who wants the crest to let you enter Noel's hideout, and he'll drop another crest.

Considering what we've seen, I think she's doing it not because it is fun in and of itself, but because she fully knows that all her poo poo will mean more and weirder work for Lightning, and that is hilarious.

The cat quest is one of the last quests I did in the game, because it has really strange trigger conditions. The quest can only be started in some nebulous time frame the internet can't quite seem to agree on, and if you go to the cat at any other point in time, you still have the quest name/marker there but can't actually talk to the cat. It's very confusing.

Lumina actually has a master plan that requires all these side quests to exist, and once lightning had completed them all she'll finally have enough happiness energy to create a wormhole to get out of the 13 universe once and for all.

Of course the only natural predators of the fast, agile chocobos is a slow, ponderous enemy that has to drag itself across the ground at a pace that looks like it would be outpaced by a three-legged overweight dog.

It also has two mouths, for some stupid reason. I figured the chocobo performed its job for the end times and dying was a suitable end.

I have a hard time determining which one I hate more: the Chocobo Eater or the Meonektons. There's one I hate above both of those, but we haven't seen that one yet.

I actually like the Chocobo Eater's design a lot better in this one than in the other FFs (I want to say FF 10, but good god I can't remember all this poo poo...). I'm a little disappointed that it's just a giant torso, but I do like the idea of a second, bigger mouth; it gives it the "scary monster" quality that I like.

That guy is from at least FF10 though, you can't fault 13 for this. Admittedly, in 10 we didn't see the thing move (that I recall) but the model of this rear end in a top hat was already fixed.

It could also be the trap-style of predator. It doesn't chase after it's prey, it's prey comes to it. Maybe it stinks of Gysahl. This one certainly looks like it could hide out in some rocks or be a hill or something.

I think the Wildlands are my favourite area in general. Fun enemies (except for Chocobo Eaters), Miniflans are just hilarious when you have a bunch of endgame spells. And I remember the Behemoths being really fun once you get to the point where you can fight them properly. Also Zebra print cowboy hat. Oh, and some fun gimmicks to the area, and a bunch of great quests. I remember some annoying parts though. And the Angel.  Actually, seeing how aggressive/prideful Chocobos seem to be in this game, maybe that's how the Eaters get them, they sit around going "Chocobos are poo poo at fighting" and they feel insulted and go fight them and get chomped.

I fuckin' love those sheep. Also the genocide mechanic. There's an enemy type annoying you? Purge it from existence. For wonderful neon pink prizes. And yeah, if you wipe out everything there's still Anubysses and other things that will always be there for you. Oh, and I looked it up, apparently the gratitude is just a joke item. I like that.

Finally you guys have talked about the extinction mechanic. I wasted so much time trying to genocide the Meonektons before finally looking up that there were that many of them. Hate them. Anubii are just straight up infinite, given a thing that won't appear until right near the end of the game. I also spent a whole bunch of time killing them... almost as much as every other enemy put together. It 'helped' that in their case they give out 1 EP each (on normal); so you get infinite Chronostasis as long as you encounter them fast enough.

Is it possible to overfeed the chocobo? I know it's kinda bad to say that I wanna see a mention of fat chocobo, but I think it'd be hilarious and a bit doofy (especially for this game.)

Looks like costumes isn't the only thing this game and FFXIV has in common, since the cyclops model looks exactly the same in both games. Pretty sure the eye beam is in both games too! Also, the fact that there's a fal'cie that just makes all the food seems like a pretty convenient excuse for what everyone eats... except they've already kinda explained that with what exists in the Wildlands? And they could easily just have added a port to one of the cities? Or we can just say that a magic machine did it I guess.
