juggalo baby coffin posted:if hydalen and zodiark are both primals, and primals drain the aether of whatever region they're in, how have they not sucked all the aether out of the entire universe by now? Being that they were the original primals summoned/created by the Ancients, their ability to sustain themselves might be a little different. The tought methods used by the various groups and tribes have summoned their primals are downright crude compared to the original creation magic. The constant aether siphoning might be a limitation. And no, that wasn't the real Emet-Selch. It was more like a contingency program set up to activate when needed. He had a good feeling that the day would come when it'd be needed, seems like.

I literally cannot comprehend watching and reading everything Ardbert did and coming to the conclusion of "what a fuckup!" Like, I just can't. He and his group did Everything Right, and their efforts were only a "failure" because of unforeseen consequences that literally no one planned for.

FAUXTON posted:what, Tonberry and Kobold? Specifically, Plainsfolk are the original Lalafell that sailed north to and settled in Vylbrand. Their pupils are quite visible.  When they migrated east to the mainland and settled in Thanalan, they developed a glossy layer that protects from glare and dust storms. It's pretty hard to see their pupils.  Tonberries are cursed Lalafell, and Kobolds are an unrelated species entirely.

Jetrauben posted:It never seemed that the Amadpori had like, religious reverence for white magic, it was just a purely utilitarian thing. Heck, white magic was specifically a reaction to Mhach's development of black magic and subsequent war. And really, black/white magic is more a technique than anything else; the difference is in application. Both are freely siphoning aether from the surrounding lands. And conjury is just a nicer, Elemental-approved version .I always liked the analogy that conjury is asking someone for some cash, and white/black magic is just punching them and stealing their wallet.

I found out on a whim (as I'm the player who talks to everyone all the time), that nearly every single job and class NPC that you've worked with has updated dialogue for finishing the MSQ. Crafting and gathering, too. They're been pretty great so far and I still have a lot to talk to. I love it.

Cleretic posted:Something that struck me while doing that questline, though: how old is Kan-e-Senna meant to appear? Just as an aside because you mentioned him: E-Sumi-Yan (the head of the Conjurers' Guild) is old. Encyclopedia Eorzea hints that he's over 200, and if you speak to him post-EW MSQ if you've leveled WHM, he confirms it. He might be the oldest living Padjal we've met.

Chillgamesh posted:Given what we know about memories and souls from Endwalker, Bad Timeline G'raha is 100% dead. Source G'raha isn't sharing a headspace with anybody, he just has a bunch of experiences from a like-minded person inside him now. That's why he's still so anxious and down on himself, and it isn't until he starts barking orders in Thavnair that the G'raha he can be starts coming out. Well, memories and soul. He's in the unique position of effectively experienced an extra rejoining (like the WoL), but with literally himself from another timeline instead of another shard. He even comments at the end of 5.3 that it's a very weird feeling. He's both the anxious and adventure-loving G'raha Tia that dove into the CT to help everyone and the century-old Exarch that learned about all the amazing heroic things that the WoL did before things went horribly in the Black Rose timeline. Being a bit of an anxious doofus isn't even just this G'raha; the time you spent with him on the First showed that deep down he was still an anxious doof, except with 100 years of added experience and conviction.

PoorWeather posted:You might be right. I think it's hard to say for certain, because "the bad parts of life make the good shine brighter" is a really common truism in fiction and in a lot of religious thinking - I can't remember where, but I'm pretty sure there's even an incidental line which is more or less exactly that in Endwalker. There's definitely one in Shadowbringers with Feo Ul, though in that case it's probably more connected with the "what makes mortals beautiful is that they plant trees they'll never see grown" theme, which is kinda its own kettle of fish. I'm actually kind of curious about you picking this line. Feo Ul points this out in contrast to the pixies, which do not and cannot act on anything but the immediate now. They basically fly by the seat of their pants through their whole existence, which anyone can tell you has its downsides for mortals. It's not so big a deal for immortal pixies, as they persist until they don't, which doesn't seem to be much of a concern for them anyway. "Planting a tree in which branches you will never sit under" is just a poetic way of stating that it's good and virtuous to work for a better tomorrow, even if you'll never live long enough to see it. It's a statement in opposition to the idea of "well I won't be alive then, so why should I care?" And to a pixie like Feo Ul who only lives in the present, that kind of forward thinking is novel and beautiful.

There's a lot of super important plot action there, obviously, but I want to know what's up with that crashed Allagan ship and the weird fungus caves and the cactuars... did Hydaelyn seed that life there too? Are some of them space aliens like the dragons that happened to land there? Is there more Allagan junk in space??? Like a surprisingly many things, the story about that Allagan satellite is explained in the sightseeing log.  I recommend doing them, or at least looking them up, as a lot of random info is buried in the logs.

Revenge of the Horde remains one of my absolute favorite tracks in the entire game, though goodness knows it has tough competition. It feels so incredibly final to me, nailing the feel that this is the end of the Dragonsong War, right here. The first 30 seconds or so alone have an immense amount of emotional heaviness to it. I never regret getting Final Steps of Faith in the roulette.

Blockhouse posted:Is Elpis cheaper if you go there from the First? Elpis is in fact cheaper if you teleport from the First. It's the same cost as teleporting to Mor Dhona from the First. Teleport costs are mostly raw distance if they're on the same planet, but dimensional links count as adjecent. I think that absolute most expensive teleport is Kugane to Ultima Thule at 2178g.

Jetrauben posted:Kinda makes you wonder how and if Radz-at-han's diplomacy worked with Ishgard. Can't imagine "dragons are unholy monsters without remorse" could exactly diplomatically coexist with "yeah, we're buddies with the local dragon." Taking an airship from Radz-at-Han to any of the listed locations (the main cities plus Kugane) is 300g, except Ishgard, which is 500g. Clearly the dragon bias at work!

Considering that during his denial of your story, Emet repeats the "thousand thousand lives" bit that his future self did, it's safe to say that there were a number of parts the WoL was very specific in recalling.

SirSamVimes posted:Interestingly, the fact that Emet-Selch shattered his auracite means he could have probably retreated back into the rift if he wanted to. I imagine the reason he didn't is that he was so tired of everything that he would rather charge at you and either kill you or die himself than retreat and resume scheming. Hell, there was nothing keeping him from just leaving at the end of the Amaurot dungeon. He could've left at any point before he transformed, but I imagine he felt he had to push to the end. Prove that his ideals and mission were just. Your seemingly miraculous revival followed by his brief vision of Azem just pushed him to a total do or die moment. How the tale of this conflict would be written would be finally decided right there, period.

cheetah7071 posted:I'm not convinced evolution exists in this universe. I think it's more likely that the lifestream can just spontaneously generate beings, sometimes. Probably only under special circumstances that only existed early in the star's history. It would allow for the first ancients to live in a relatively barren star, and see an obvious need to improve it which they could pass down the generations Genetic inheritance and environmental pressure clearly do, as the BTN quests in HW and beyond get into. It's just that it gets a little fuzzy when Literal Magic exists alongside it.

Mr. Nice! posted:They might not have awoken a Fandaniel prior to that. We don't know how and when they awoke any of the sundered ascians except for the few instances we've seen happen. I imagine it had to be at least a few, given how the fight with Amon the Undying opens up: "Many faces have I worn, but this is my favorite by far..." Certainly implies there were more than just those two.

Bringing this back up since I went on a cutscene rewatching spree earlier today. In the scene after defeating Amon the Undying, when he's speaking on how the memories Kairos once blocked kept coming back to him, he specifically laments how death never helped. Amon posted:Death failed to expunge them, no matter how many times it came. Rebirth after rebirth, from one Fandaniel to the next. So it seems like the Ascians did go through a few Fandaniels. Still up in the air if any of the others were as messed up as Amon, though.

The entire point of everything with Ardbert and his friends is that they were too good at succeeding at their goals as Warriors of Light. They overcame every challenge and trial, up to and including one of their own being a traitor. And then they lived up to being true heroes by defeating and sparing her. Ardbert and co. are the exact opposite of fuckups.

Almost all the time we're interacting with her she's in unofficial capacity in some form or another so she gets to be a kid. I know it's hard to tell, being a Lalafell, but Nanamo is like 21-22. Though I suppose being royalty, and everything that happened with her parents, she didn't really get to have a real childhood.

Luckily they're trivial unsynced at 90.
