SLOPPAAAAYYYYYYYYY

"The others need to learn of what happened here."

1) We're fucking idiots.
2) We seriously need to start ACTUALLY KILLING OUR ENEMIES AFTER WE DEFEAT THEM.
3) Don't worry Papalymo's not dead we'll just have to kill his spirit one day.

4) Don't throw artefacts of immense power into depths and hope that solves it.

Anyone has anything more to add as advice for the Scions/Warrior of Light?

If we follow Heavensward writing as the example and just to brown some pants, here is what I predict for Ala Mhigo in Stormblood:

-Owing to a long heritage based around violence, the Fist of Rhalgr becomes the Palm of Rhalgr wherein monks become almost entirely pacifistic beyond "defending the weak and innocent".
-Shadow Sect and Light Sect seamlessly merge together with no conflict or disagreement.
-Widargelt either becomes king with no conflict and starts a golden age, or doesn't become king and Ala Mhigo still has a golden age.
-The Garleans fail to be relevant or interesting in an expansion centred around fighting them to liberate a nation, because ASCIANS.

"By the Fury, not pointy!" is probably the best line of the patch so far for me.

Add in some cringy shit about Yda spawning braincells to become super Ala Mhigan princess magical girl to avenge Papa-senpai.

How this chick is an Archon is just utterly BEYOND me.

Don't even remind me of defendurps of the weak *^_^* bullshit they are going to pull off.

THIS MAKES MORE SENSE THAN THE MSQ.

I can't believe Cyr is my favorite NPC this patch.

A hairstyle change is all that's needed to completely shift your attitude and personality. You'd get a nice wombo combo with a wardrobe change too. This is all according to my Chinese cartoons.

Yda takes off her mask, and underneath is just another mask.

I'm not the only one wondering why the GE isn't just sending two legions instead of one to take over Eorzea?
Judging from what that gridanian chic said all this would literally be over in less than a week if Garlemad legit just went "ehh... Send two, maybe one and a half."

Before Heavensward launched I was involved in an RP arc revolving around someone with a grudge against Eorzea instigating false-flag attacks on Garlemald holdings with people wearing fake GC uniforms, hoping to kickstart the war effort.

Guys I'm afraid to RP things now.

MSQ punched me right in the feels. From Answers creeping in to Papa having the same expression as the light took him, the whole thing was like being dropping right back into the debut of the ARR trailer. There may or may not have been someone chopping onions in the house at the time.

Yo but those aetherless grunts Warren.

I'm waiting for a plot I've had in the workings to be eaten by Stormblood. 
Starts with a G, ends with undamjack. 

I didn't really feel anything at Papa's death because the MSQ really underutilized him and Yda. The relationship between them was kinda ambiguous again because like with Minny and Than I feel like they really just didn't commit to anything. Kinda sorta friends? We understand that they're close, but I dunno. Maybe I'm just missing 1.0 context but I don't feel any chemistry between them. So when he got Tupsimati I basically *didn't want* to believe in the death flag because I felt it was just a complete waste to kill him this early rather than late in the Stormblood cycle.

That and this is a really short MSQ. Just not a whole lot got done and a character was cleaned up rather hastily. (And y'know, I no longer trust them to kill people off, that doesn't help. Until you give me a Key Item that says Papa's Ashes, I'm gonna stay on my guard.) Rather than the numerous contrivances, which I think are always going to be a sticking point for an RP player base that is more cynical than the game's writing supports, I think FFXIV is weak in character writing more than anything else. There's so much potential for the writers to really get you in between the ribs, but I often found myself more emotionally attached to NPCs in random quests than in the MSQ because only a couple of them really are allowed the sufficient screen time to become engrossing.

But I mean, this is a game in which you yourself are a black hole of importance. I wonder if any character could ever receive sufficient screen time.

Like, nothing makes sense.

A bunch of rag-tag rebels in grand company clothing? Can literally explode a fucking wall and cause a giant massacre.

One legion? Can destroy the whole alliance.

This questline isn't even logical with its own canon. Fuck.

For those of you who don't feel anything at Papalymo's death, do Hildi 'till the end. I had more fucking feeling for Gigi dying than Papalymo becoming another fucking primal (or whatever the fuck Louisoix did)

I couldn't stop giggling immaturely at this line...



Ah, Yda... XD
