jalapeno_dude posted:The meaning of "Heavensward" I mean obviously, it refers to the patch of short grass in the Churning Mists. I'm not sure why this is up for debate, but goons will latch onto anything.

 I can't believe none of you remember the scene where you were here Greensward in the Churning Mists where Cid is showing you how to fly the Millennium Falcon, and some guy pops in and says "I am so sick of this Heaven Sward".

Regarding anyone that still thinks the Garlean Empire has the right of it (especially after Endwalker), I'll just refer to my favorite quote from the FATAL & Friends, regarding some of RIFTS' later supplements: "There comes a point where it stops mattering whether this is a dog whistle or you're just that stupid."

Ultiville posted:I think the weakest parts are the ones where they couch it in enough fantasy stuff that it’s not as obvious that’s what’s going on, so I think this bit is particularly effective because there’s none of that at all - it’s all poverty-level stuff so it’s much more raw and obvious that this is just talking about a universal function if of empire. It's the Rapture problem: clearly the city's downfall was due to this mind-altering mutagen, not any structural reasons! When in fact Fontaine could have started the whole mess just as easily by introducing bitcoin.

I liked this duty because it got me to start imagining my WoL as more than just a projection of me, the player. And that first starting reaction was something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8C4lK41SX-Q Sometimes in order to tell a good story, you got to do the Job. But I guess for some folks that just doesn't work for them.....brother. SirPhoebos fucked around with this message at 23:33 on Jun 25, 2022 |

For me at least, the WoL deciding to head to a completely different area (but still tangentially served the overall goal) made sense as going back to basics after losing so soundly to Zenos. A place has a big monster that you can't face? Go somewhere else and get stronger until you can. Now that I look back on it, having Lyse join you on your journey feels arbitrary and could have used some more development (if not a rewrite). Also, for some reason I thought those sidequests opened up before the attack on Reach.

There is a breed of TTRPG players that takes 3 hours to plan a Seal Team 6-style alpha strike every time they go to meet with an NPC. That's the sort of killjoy that I picture objecting to an anime protagonist acting like an anime protagonist.

I dropped around 4.2, but that was because of having a new job and getting super into TWW2. I eventually got back into it because the blizzlol thread kept comparing current WoW to FFXIV that I decided to relog.

DanielCross posted:I feel like asking why an MMO character isn't traumatized by the violence is like asking why any Musou-game character isn't traumatized by the violence. This isn't a genre that's designed to tell that sort of story unless it's built from the ground-up for that purpose, and expecting it to does NOT make it a failing of the storytelling when it doesn't. You cannot possibly argue in good faith that a game failing to tackle a subject it's not designed for and not intended for is some sort of fundamental flaw. Hello, have you heard the Good Word of  ?

Sanguinia posted:I remember when I did that part of the Binding Coils that I thought Urianger's theory that Nael was resurrected in the image of the last person they held in their mind at death was kind of nice. The White Raven of Garlemald came across as a real dyed in the wool psycho from the few references in the dialogue I got to their deeds in original ff14 and how they acted in their antagonist role in the Raid Series, and the idea that as they perished their mind cast back to some person they truly loved, even if we didn't know who that was (I recall I speculated it must be one of his mother, sister or partner) was a nice bit of humanization for such a pure Freiza-like villain. Isn't Imperialsm Batman just Batman? (  )

It is property of the Mirage Trust, a banking/moneylending organization headed by...the late Teledji Adeledji... There's actually a d20 on their sign, so my headcanon is that's where the Syndicate has their weekly ttrpg sessions.

Eureka is still spoiler. Though I do know that Sang has gotten to that point now compared to the LP. Maybe we should take the chat to discord?

Awesome conclusion to 4.0 The Royal Menagerie was pretty surprising in terms of difficulty. The only thing comparable in the MSQ previously was Nidhogg. As for Zenos, while I personally love the character, my WoL's feelings are more complicated (mainly because I find that conflict itself interesting). My interpretation of her (and even how she would have responded in cutscenes) has been fluid, but denying Zenos has always been the right decision for her. I think it comes down to her saying "yeah, I enjoy what I do...but seeing you hedonistically wallow and glorify in one aspect of that at the expense of everything else, then have the gall to say we are the same is pretty drat off-putting." But if someone close to her was to ask the same question, she'd begrudgingly admit that she empathized to some degree.

I'm glad that you have a positive outlook on Gridania's overall story. I sometimes feel like the prevailing wisdom on the main threads re the Elementals is to just grab the shotgun, which I can't help but feel runs counter to the game's narrative.
