I might have missed it but why did we kill Garuda? I recall some nebulously nonsense about her being a threat and she was certainly a mean old bird tits lady but going after her seems out of place. It's like we had to deal with titan because he was a nearby threat but bird tits is way up in coerthas, isn't she more of a problem for the dick elves? Also it seems abrupt how she interrupts the walking sands/scions plot line. Because it picks up again immediately after you fight her.

You can't leave primals unattended else they will temper a ton more followers and suck up even more aether.

Simply by existing, primals drain aether out of the planet. No aether = no planet which is bad for all of us. Even if a primal is friendly or harmless, they have to go in 100% of cases. That's just the way the universe works. What's the use in strafing now that your autos work even if you're not facing the boss?

All primals suck up way, way too much aether just by existing to be allowed to exist; they endanger the planet every moment they're manifest. They also turn people into thralls dedicated to summoning them over and over. Also she's a jerkface.

I recall some nebulously nonsense about her being a threat and she was certainly a mean old bird tits lady but going after her seems out of place. Despite having the trappings of being a "western" MMO, life and the afterlife of Eorzea is still heavily Eastern in its underpinnings. We're all made of aetherstuff, so when we die, our spirit returns to the cycle and churn, and recondenses down into the earth, the air, the water, the things that plants take up that feed the rest of the food chain. In that sense, Primals are aetheric kidney stones, that keep things from moving smoothly through the system. Leave them alone, and they'll just get bigger and do more damage. Gotta break them up so they can be passed. SwissArmyDruid fucked around with this message at 23:05 on Jan 4, 2018 |

This will come up again several times, but basically the #1 job of the Scions is to kill primals. Whenever one pops up, you pretty much drop whatever you're doing to go get rid of it before it causes too much havoc, and then go back to what you were doing before. Though the later ones tend to get woven into the plot a bit better than "suddenly, a primal!".

Even Garlemald is all "holy poo poo, a primal" And then they scorched earth nuke it and the society that summoned it because of course they do

How does Ramuh's story quest end again? I feel like he was a "friendly" primal and you didn't kill him, you just tested him, but that can't be true at the same time as the "the existence of primals destroys the earth" plot point so I must be forgetting something This is a ARR plot beat but I'm tagging it for the person who clearly hasn't got there yet

They also turn people into thralls dedicated to summoning them over and over. Seriously, that last bit is important. She’s not a nice old man like Ramuh, she’s a literal avatar of destruction. The Ixal summoned something that literally only exists to murder, and you need to kill her before she gathers enough power to scour half the continent clean. That vortex you fight her inside? It’s just going to keep expanding and expanding until everyone is dead.

Man, while i did get all crafting classes to 60 in HW and got a full pentamelded ironworks set and crafted 4-star recipes for a while before quitting at patch 3.45, i just noticed i only ever completed the quest line for goldsmith. All others are still at their lv55 or lv58 quest. It's time to catch up a bit. Man, i've missed the crafter quest lines. They're so nice. Underrated underdog here is the armorer questline, i feel. Wasn't so hot about the ARR version of it, but HW takes it up and builds on it, instead of most others who say 'go to Ishgard to this dude/lady and do something there now'. I especially like the CUL 60 quest. The frigging dungeon victory fanfare when the contest judge announces your points.  edit: Holy poo poo it keeps going, his reaction face! And a full blown anime dream sequence to describe the taste! gently caress, leveling DOH is worth it just for the quests. HenryEx fucked around with this message at 01:45 on Jan 5, 2018 |

I think you're kind of weirdly down on ARM 50. I mean, you know those publicity videos where like, the CEOs of armor companies agree to be shot while using their own product? ARM 50 is basically that.

I just didn't enjoy Blanstyr's role in the 1-50 quests much, which makes his turnabout post-ARR much, much more effective, admittedly. Though i don't think anything will ever top the 50 CUL quest. It's one of the very few chances you get to dunk on Lolorito.

Gerolt figured out how to use the Allagan cloning tech so he could be in 2 places at once. He thought it would replicate booze for him.

I like how the mom in WVR 60 just casually drops the fact on her daughter that she's the reason her father died in the war. Smiling all the while. And by like i mean, what the gently caress?

All of the GSM quests are awesome. 60-70 is lots of fun as well (you get to be the head of a school complete with all the anime tropes). ARM 50 and CUL 60 are great as well, as is the whole LTW 1-50 arc. But ALC is probably my favorite, especially 1-50 and the 50-60 murder mystery.

This last slog from 45 to 50 is pretty aggravating, especially since Dzmael Darkhold and Aurum Vale are two of the most aggravating dungeons in the game.
