Embarassing babby drawings, in this case.

He was a child when he went to the Studium - only 11 years old - and apparently very socially awkward. Â It would seem that Krile has many, many stories of embarrassing things Alphinaud did while he was at the Studium. Â

Edited to Add: This is sort of like having your mother or your aunt show up when you're with your cool friends, knowing all that they know about you, up to and including embarrassing baby pictures.

I couldn't tell if it was joking nature or if she had a different 'sinister' motive in mind. I wrote that part in the beginning when I didn't read her other NPC dialogue. But oh gosh that eye side glance looked downright evil in the beginning.

I'm pretty sure I have that exact same evil glint in my eye when I start talking to my sister-in-law about things my little brother did when he was...well...little. Big Grin

[19:35]Cait Sith: My tale begins long, long ago in the city of Mhach, which once stood in the lands of Yafaem.
[19:35]Cait Sith: The sorcerers of Mhach were masters of destructive magicks, and they brought that terrible power to bear against Amdapor and Nym in the War of the Magi.
[19:35]Cait Sith: The titanic forces they unleashed, however, took a heavy toll upon the land, ultimately resulting in a colossal flood that drowned the realm of Eorzeaâ”€a catastrophe which my master, High Voidmage Cessair, was wise enough to foresee.
[19:35]Stacia: Wait, wait, wait... Colossal flood? Are you talkin' about the Sixth Umbral Calamity?
[19:35]Cait Sith: Hmm, I suppose you would know it as such... Now, where was I? Ah, yes. When they learned of the fate that awaited them, the Mhachi magi began construction of a gargantuan vessel that would bear their people to the skies, and to safety.
[19:35]Cait Sith: The operation of the Void Ark, as the ship came to be called, was entrusted to Cessair. Prior to that, of course, my master had been a prisoner in her own home, confined for her outspoken opposition to the war...
[19:36]Utata: So the Ark was meant as a sanctuary? Then, how did it come to be so...um... I mean, what happened to all the people? And where did all the voidsent come from?
[19:36]Cait Sith: By what power do you imagine such a massive craft remains aloft? The energy required to raise the Ark was siphoned from over a thousand otherworldly servants sealed within the vessel.
[19:36]Cait Sith: Advances in Mhachi sorcery were made for one reason and one reason only: cataclysmic destructive power. And the swiftestâ”€and most dangerousâ”€method of acquiring that power was through the enslavement of voidsent entities.
[19:36]Utata: So, the creatures on the derelict...they broke free from your master's control?
[19:36]Cait Sith: At the very heart of the Ark, the voidmages had entombed a great ruler of the voidsentâ”€Scathach, the Shadow Queen.
[19:36]Cait Sith: But in order to control so potent a prisoner, a mage of adamant will was required. And being Mhach's preeminent sorcerer, Cessair was deemed best-qualified. Were it otherwise, my master might never have been released from her own imprisonment...
[19:36]Cait Sith: Yet even with Cessair's peerless skill, the Shadow Queen could not long be subjugated. One after another, the lesser voidsent awoke, and ran rampant within the ship.
[19:37]Cait Sith: In the end, Cessair and the fifty-three voidmages aboard the Ark sacrificed their own life energies to return the fiends to their coffins...leaving me, a lowly familiar, to watch over a derelict prison.
[19:37]Leofard: If I remember me Umbral Eras right, the stuff you just described happened more'n fifteen hundred years pastâ”€which is a good while by anyone's measure. And since everythin' seems to have been quiet on board your boat 'til just recently, I'm thinkin' summat unusual must've happened to wake the inmates up. Am I warm?
[19:37]Cait Sith: One day, a voidsent that had taken the shape of a bat flew into the ship. At first, it was little more than a nuisance that I brushed away, but the longer it remained on the Ark, the stronger it seemed to become... Eventually I could not contend with its power, and it began shattering seal after seal!
[19:37]Cait Sith: ...You have faced this bat-winged fiend before!? It would seem, then, that the creature survived the encounter...and that he intends to celebrate his restoration by liberating his queen.
[19:37]Leofard: Well, that explains that, thenâ”€'cept for one small detail, namely, where the Queen's Coffin went. After it fell out of the ship's belly...I'm assumin' it didn't just disappear, right?
[19:38]Cait Sith: You recall the great rift that the Ark's cannon ripped in the sky? That was a voidgate.
[19:38]Cait Sith: Such a portal opens a temporary path through the void, allowing the ship to travel almost instantaneously from one location to another. The voidsent, as you saw, only opened a gate large enough to displace the Coffin. As for the Coffin's destination, however...that is as much a mystery to me as it is to you.
[19:38]Cait Sith: I beseech you, conquerors of the Ark: help me find the Queen's Coffin ere the wards binding Scathach are dispelled!

I can confirm this evil glint, I also get it when recanting some of my little sisters more embarrassing past moments to my Brother-in-law, or her friends.. or anyone really.

Also while I liked the new MSQ it did feel really short. I can't wait for more though. I have yet to unlock Void Ark that will be tonight or tomorrows project!

Kage · **11-11-2015, 09:43 AM**

I queued into Void Ark on my 3rd Job aka Monk.

Someone in the Balmung RP community can attest to how horribad I am as a monk when undergeared and also COMPLETELY ASSFUCKING NEW.

I ate the floor more times than a DRG!

I actually liked the amount of travel and movement there was in Void Ark. Was really fun.
Except for the whole I-am-Alliance-B's-token-dick-Monk-pulling-everything-before-people-can-mention-anything-about-the-mechanics.

Edit: I was thinking, Thancred has one eye covered right? Say that Flow helped cause Y'shtola's blindness... imagine Flow took Y'shtola's -two- eyes but for Thancred it took one eye and his ability to manipulate aether well.

Kellach Woods · **11-12-2015, 08:46 AM**

Sounds plausible - he didn't cast the spell and wasn't as trained as Y'shtola in a manner of aether manipulation.

Chipmunk is best censor.

I have to say, the story in this one was a bit soft, but I also figured it was setting the table for the next patches to come. Should be awesome pieces soon. And I'm just glad we're not constantly busting Primals as part of the story.

Also, that but with Yda and Papalymo, in my mind, almost all but assures the next expack will be in Ala Mhigo.

***GhostlyMaiden*** · **11-12-2015, 10:46 AM**

I just recently finished MSQ. Although the story was rather short and didn't have much to it, I think it was pretty okay.

We set the stage for Ishgard, we get an idea what the next few patches will look like for Ishgard. The time that they were there, I was pretty nervous the entire time. I didn't know if we would kill off someone because let's be honest, guys whos name a I can't remember (Haurchefant's brother), I thought he was gonna die in the fight, because he doesn't really seem to be 'knight' material.

I love that we have Thancred back, he was my favorite Scion. I think his story on how he got to were he was, was pretty interesting. Best censorship I have seen in a game btw.

My only real issue with the patch is, "The Warriors of Darkness".
1) They sound and look really edgy
2) I feel like they were pushed into the patch, like they were just there because the Devs. wanted them to be.
2.1) Don't tell me it was because of Ravana, because we could've taken care of that easily!

I do hope they they do more with them to make actually (lack for a better term) 'like' them.

Also; What is the deal withÂ Urianger? I've been sitting here looking back at the 2 or 3 cutscenes thatÂ Urianger was talking with the Asican. I have been unable to figure out what is going on. Maybe he is working with them in hopes to use something against them?
Also during that cutscene, was that the boot ofÂ Alisaie?

So many questions, almost no answers.

SpoilerÂ

So many questions, almost no answers.

Considering that Alphinaud is all the time with the Warrior of Light, I would guess it's Alisaie.

What a lame headstone

É´á´˜á´„ · **11-12-2015, 01:03 PM**

This was the first chapter of the MSQ where I found the writing to be markedly clumsy, or maybe more specifically the planning. There were still intriguing developments and as many questions as revelations, but it all seemed very short and the new elements felt crammed in. Kind of ham-fisted relative to prior chapters, to my thinking.

Anyway, the teasers at the end are highly interesting, and I'm getting nervous about Alisaie and Urianger now.

Cato · **11-12-2015, 01:23 PM**

The patch did a good job at moving the story along even if some of us had already guessed what direction it was going to go in. I wonder if we'll get another batch of story quests next month when the next patch goes live?

I also thought there was meant to be some sort of new trial based off the enemies encountered during the anniversary event. Am I missing something?

The new dungeons and raid are pretty fun. Very aesthetically pleasing and with great music and interesting enemies. The quality of life changes are brilliant. More of that, please!

I've yet to try the exploratory missions since I've been much too busy with Fallout 4.

I hope there's another major character death soon. I was very displeased to find that - other than Minfilia - all of the Scions are now accounted for.
