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