Also because you're here to help Hien raise loyalties, actively disobeying Magnai means a harder hill to climb for your allies and could lead to repercussions Basically you're humoring him. Just say sarcastic remarks towards him whenever your character is opening their mouth to gawpble and blwarfle, that'll make you feel better.

I can actual deal with the smug egotism. That doesn't bother me so much. But the bit where he essentially threatens Lyse with being used as another tribe's sex slave is like nah I don't want anything to do with this dude that isn't me putting a katana through his chest

Basically, you want Magnai to honor the traditions of the steppe by obeying you once you become king even though he doesn't like you. This means that as a simple matter of reciprocity, you have to obey him while he's king even though you don't like him. You can't expect him to follow rules you can't be bothered to obey yourself!

You replace him with YOURSELF. You, the WoL, are actually the ruler of the steppe warriors after those events. I really hope this comes back up during the patch storylines because it's an unprecedented amount of power to give the WoL.

No. WoL is the Kahn, as a member of the Mol, (s)he just presumably leaves Cirina and her grandma in charge of the "daily activities".

This doesn't contradict the post you quoted. Leader != leading tribe (or more precisely you're an honorary member of the Mol after doing Bardam's Mettle and so your tribe = the ruling tribe = the Mol). Go back and talk to the various tribe leaders--it's pretty explicit in their dialogue.

You were acting as a warrior fighting in the name of the Mol. Just cause you were the one that ultimately claimed the territory doesn't make you head of the Mol.

Did you miss the many many times in the MSQ after that point you're addressed as khagan? e.g. Magnai's dialogue after the end of the MSQ: ...for you are the khagan...for now. I don't think this is supposed to be confusing. EDIT: It's true that you're not the head of the Mol, but you *are* the khagan.

The leaders of the other tribes acknowledge this and even warn you that this will only last until the next Nadaam. The Mol tribe is in charge since you were fighting in their name but you are considered above them and have the authority to call them to war.. which is exactly what you do.

I went back and checked and saw I was wrong. It's super loving weird though that you're the khagan since every time I remembered everyone looking at Cirina every time a decision had to be made for the people of the steppe.

A 50S RAYGUN posted:it's also super weird, because what the gently caress do the mol even matter then? they were just your invite to the party? Pretty much. You needed them to give you (and Hien) the legitimacy to take part in the Nadaam and then command them to fight for Doma. Afterwards you leave Cirina and the rest of the Mol in charge while you head back to Eorzea but retain your position.

You have to belong to a tribe to compete in the Naadam, and the Mol were the only tribe that was willing to accept an outsider. Well, the only tribe out of the three that were shown. The other 48 tribes didn't feel like showing up I guess.

It is very amusing to me that all everyone discusses is the Azim Steppes. Fringes, Peaks, Ruby Sea, Yanxia, Lochs? Nope. It's all the Steppes. Square-Enix did something very right with the Steppes and something very wrong with the other regions. The people complaining about the predictability of the story honestly should have brought up actual details, like pointing out that the Ala Mhigan rebellion got wrapped up so incredibly abruptly after you finish the Othard storyline. It seems to me almost like that two separate teams were writing the Gyr Abania story and the Othard story, and had to quickly fuse them to meet the deadline. The Ala Mhigan plot probably should have been mostly devoted to the Fringes/Peaks, with base Stormblood itself wrapping up with you conquering Doma Castle, and the extended patches dealing with you finishing off Zenos as he retreats into the Lochs and you complete the Ala Mhigo liberation effort. That way you don't get the weirdly abrupt ending to Stormblood while focusing your efforts on liberating Doma, and you have content for Lyse being inspired by Hien's efforts, and wanting to take it back to Gyr Abania to end Garlemald's incursion into Eorzea once and for all. Of course I don't know what they have planned for the MSQ for 4.1 and later, who knows where this will go.

Square-Enix did something very right with the Steppes and something very wrong with the other regions. IMO a lot of it is about the music. In the Azim Steppes it's *amazing*; that choral action gives me chills. The Ala Mhigo music is nothing special (except for the national anthem motif which is nice but not really actively present in the zone music) and Yanxia's music was actively grating to me.

the weakness of Ala Mhigo is probably it being split to either side of Doma, to the point that you kind of forget the first half. though the inclusion of the Ananta and M'naago's tribe feel really tacked on in that second half.

Square-Enix did something very right with the Steppes and something very wrong with the other regions. Thanks for reminding me of one of the major reasons I feel the plot and patch structure is so repetitive: the 3.5/3.55 gap. The 3.5 story ended on such a sudden note, and the 3.55 story seemed to follow almost immediately, even though several months had passed in real time. The transition from 3.55 to the beginning of Stormblood felt exactly the same way, the whole "I guess we're invading Gyr Abania, see you in a few months" thing. It feels like they just wanted the story and patch structure to be exactly the same as with the lead up to Heavensward, without really thinking about how it would flow. 2.5 ended in a place that made sense, and 2.55 set up an amazing cliffhanger. 3.5/3.55 didn't. To me it feels like 3.5 should have ended where 3.55 did, and 3.55 should have ended with the battle at Rhalgr's Reach. That way you've got a good reason for the down time between the story (planning for the invasion of Gyr Abania for 3.5, recovering and planning for the Othard expedition for 3.55). That would mean letting people into the first half of the Fringes, so that would probably be asking too much, but I think it would have also been a really good teaser for things to come. But for whatever reason they had to make things exactly like the previous expansion cycle.

Got AST to 60 yesterday and made myself a glamour to celebrate. It's just the entire Thavnairian set (minus the hat) dyed Ink Blue but it's much too sexy an armor set to not make use of. The globe is the Sophia EX globe.

Everything through 2.55 worked pretty well, but it didn't flow well into Heavensward. Like technically they eventually wrapped up the plotlines from 2.55, but it still felt awkward to me since the tone of the story changed quite a bit at the start of Heavensward. I think it would have been better if they had used 2.55/3.55 as an actual conclusion or epilogue instead of creating these cliffhangers but I guess it would be worse for sales and require more advance planning

The only character that's conventionally good in any sense of the word is Alphinaud. Everyone else is a 1 note trope that hasn't developed at all in the now 4 years of playing this game, including the one who just starred throughout an entire expansion.
