That being said, I have to comment on some stuff.

Papalymo's death hit me harder than Haurchefant's, honestly. He and Yda are the first major characters I befriended in the game, and my attachment to them was/is greater. This is by no means saying that Haurchefant wasn't sad, or that I didn't feel anything, I just wonder if my emotional attachment to him is at odds with a lot of the popular opinion, and is perhaps the result of the localization toning his attraction to you down a bit and/or my having had him around for a few months as opposed to the years stretching between ARR and HW.

That being said, I will now rank the moments in HW that made me feel things in terms of how hard they hit me:

- Papalymo and Ysayle's deaths (two way tie)
- Haurchefant's death
- The kobold child's parents and Titan's summoning
- Estinien leaving flowers for Ysayle
- The final steps of faith, Ysayle and Haurchefant's spirits coming to our aid, and Nidhogg's demise
- Tiamat's story
- Yda revealing her true identity
- Minfilia's goodbye
- Urianger revealing his motivations re: the warriors of darkness (his VA really made this work)


For gently caress yeah and warm fuzzy feeling moments, in no particular order:

- Getting to kick Ilberd's rear end one more time
- Omega vs. Shinryu
- The moment when I realized that Primal actually was Shinryu and what was about to happen
- Raubahn and Nanamo's reunion
- Just. Getting to sit down and have a meal with Aymeric and just have a calm moment of celebration.
- The memory lane quest for Ishgard, showing how I'd improved everyone's lives, and that I'd actually made the world a better place.


Funniest moments:

- Alphinaud getting poo poo on at every opportunity by Krile
- Alphinaud's baby crush on Y'shtola and everything associated with it
- Getting Nero's loving reaper and using it on who I'm told is Garlean Team Rocket
- Yda/Lyse and the button
- Alphinaud vs. life (the whole expansion)


Stuff I didn't expect to find interesting but I did/lore stuff I find intriguing:

- Regula turned out to be a much more interesting character than my first impressions gave.
- The Void turning out to be one of the shards
- Just the whole "13 shards" in general stuff


Stuff I wish had been handled better:

- Minfilia deserved better

I'm definitely guilty of prioritizing rock tossing over tank healing. In a few levels it will all work out because I'll go OoM spamming Holy, instead.

all those cutscenes and voice acting and it's all building up to a DOOM reference

Grynewaht actually gets a complete character arc, which is better than a lot of secondary villains get.

With an unexpectedly :magical: showdown, even.

(do not, under any circumstances, skip the boss intro cutscene the first time you run the level 67 dungeon)

The lore book made me like every character. Minfilia is a miner and met Tataru while selling off some stones to the goldsmith guild where Tataru was basically working as a child slave accountant because Ul'dah is a loving awful place. So Minfilia is like come be an accountant for a secret world preservation task force instead.


This is all a fever dream of a slowly dying enslaved child Tataru is what I am saying.

Oh, funny story: I actually just got nine of those today to get the music rolls.

You wanna do the Levequest "Show Your Work". Go to the starting point, activate the Levequest, and look around. If you see a chest, open it and then reset the leve. If you don't, reset the leve. Then retry and do it again until you have as many as you need.

Pretty much the best way is to grab the levequest Dance Magic Dance in Ishgard. There's a big rock right in the middle of the leve area from which you can look around for any chests without moving. Once you grab one or fail to find any chests, just cancel and reset the leve.

Pick up the levequest "Dance, Magic Dance" in Foundation. Fly out to Dravaninan Hinderlands and start it up. Look for a chest in the area circled in your map. If you find one, loot it for the Vilekin. If not, abandon the levequst and restart it. Takes about 30 sec. The chest spawn rate seems to be around 15% in my experience so dont get discouraged if you dont see any chests for a while.

I really like Praetorium and Aetherochemical Research Facility's bosses as well as the last boss of Baelsar's Wall, but I don't think there's been a dungeon boss fight in this game that I enjoy more than Zenos in Ala Mhigo.

I think you can only get it direct from squares online store but it's 300 pages of awesome poo poo. Such as Kan E Senna is a lush, yshtola collects shoes and those octopus monsters are called void monks because the first time anyone saw one was when a monk threw a punch so hard it ripped open a hole to the void and one escaped.

She shows up more in the story, doesn't she?

There have been some throwaway lines in game that Kan-e has gotten wasted off of mead. I don't think you ever see it though.

The lore book is great and I highly recommend it. There's a whole section on the afterlife that I absolutely wasn't expecting. I feel bad every time I kill the last boss in Labyrinth of the Ancients now. Also the Nael thing is weird.
