what if. i played ffxiv. from my laptop

just learned the identity of both the satrap and also of fandaniel and damn. those were some big facts

i wish i had more to say about it but tbh "whoaaaa duuuude" doesn't make for thrilling internet posts

i'm curious if fandaniel has just picked sharlayan as the next "we'll use them as our accomplices for the end of the world" as the ascians had previously picked allag and then garlemald, because that seems like a possible reading of this but i doubt it. like i think they're intentionally setting that up as the obvious reading and there's actually something much weirder going on. wonder if it's even an intentional misdirect by fandaniel. who knows! i wonder if there's a tower near sharlayan

the way that they've gotten good at pacing and alternating high stakes stuff with slow paced stuff makes me want to go back and replay ARR to see how much that's a new development and how much i just didn't notice it then

oh shit did the forum carefully excise all information relating to the final days and prehistory from the library in order to hide their plan to wait out the end of the world??? that's. not going to work great for them.

this guy cute as hell

flowers too

i heard a reference in labyrinthos to tranquility. i know we're going to the moon but did sharlayan already GO to the moon? are major members of the forum already tempered by zodiark? i wonder if they discounted the efforts of the tempered-by-hydaelyn as being too interventionist and left themselves open to being convinced by ascians or something.

trying to compare amount of power is such a reductive and silly way of approaching things but i have to wonder like, how the dragons compare to the unsundered in terms of. what they are capable of

oh YES nidhana give me a fucking POWERPOINT

brb applying for a position as a hannish alchemy intern irl. i just want to pour the stuff

Genuinely unsure if acquiring a set of the encyclopedias eorzea would make my affliction worse or better

g'raha eating a hamburger... this feels overly decadent.

oh boy the hype up music oh boy cirinadu real oh boy uh. teleporting back to limsa in the middle of the big climactic move because i need to adjust my glamour plates

m'eatball subh is ready to do some healing in the cold!!

You know the funny thing is I went all the way home to my apartment in limsa and the moment I come back with cold weather clothes I am given fresh gear. I love tataru tho so much.

damn garlemald sucks. it's wild to have an arc where you go to the united states to try and heal people

really adore how "Personae non Grata" works as a quest title, as a play on garlean names

you know somehow i never really thought about the fact that lucia, maxima, and cid can't channel aether at all. funky. thancred joined their gang too i guess

i know they can't channel aether so it's not gonna happen but if they summon a primal of varis zos galvus i'm gonna shit myself laughing

nevermind i take back my appreciation of their punny quest names

OH SHIT ITS THE CRYSTALS! FROM ARR! the whole hydaelyn circle thingy!!!! i'm so glad to see it again

god damn!!!! this is cool as hell!!! also this makes me wonder if aether was originally even split into th eelements or if that's a product of the laws of reality being rewritten

i wonder how much common ground there is between what they were trying to do to block bahamut in the calamity and the locking away of zodiark

oh shit it's even got the big swords.... yooooo....... also yes i am pissing and shitting myself about this ancient architecture. this is so fucking col and wild
