Sigmascape discussion spoiler I clearly didn't get enough romance points with Midgardsormer if people are saying he's just resting in their game. Videogames are art

Alright, hold up, as with all things related to Middy, what's the jap script say in that scene?

Dwesa posted:I understood it merely as a rationalization of WoL's continuing use of mount/minion after that scene. His spirit is seemingly unkillable and he just incarnates into new bodies. Middy sacrificed his life originally when he arrived if I’m understanding what he said right. I agree that its rationalization of why you can still have the mount and minion but it seemed like his spirit was being extinguished by his last act.

Dwesa posted:I understood it merely as a rationalization of WoL's continuing use of mount/minion after that scene. His spirit is seemingly unkillable and he just incarnates into new bodies. It's this. (Sigmascope spoilers) Middy starts as a giant dragon and "dies" when he destroys the Garlean dreadnaught in Mor Dhona before 2.0 even starts. Even dead for years buried in the wreckage of the fight he's still got enough spiritual pep to give you a decent boss fight, as a ghost dragon, when you do Keeper of the Lake. The whole stripping you of the blessing of light that happens in 2.5 is partially a test and partially using the power you had acquired over the 2.0 series to jump-start a resurrection that was already happening at that point, but would have otherwise taken, like, centuries. Instead he gets enough power to incarnate as first the tiny dragon, then the slightly larger dragon that serves as the mount you get near the end of 3.0. He would have kept growing that way but instead burned everything that he had built up to temporarily turn into the big dragon to get you out of that jam. With what he had been stockpiling gone, he's back to the sleeping spirit he was before you ever went to Mor Dhona and woke him back up. All that said this is one of those plot points which is entirely open-ended. If they don't want to use Midgardsormr in the future, well, then he must be sleeping for centuries. If at any point they want him back in the plot hand-waving him waking up will be as easy as writing something like 2.5 that they've already done.

I do hope they write more stuff with him because he's one of my favorite characters, and one of the only NPCs that you could argue has been with the WoL the entire time since 2.5. Hell, I'd be surprised if he doesn't show up in Alphascape or Omegascape or whatever they call the last one. Also when Primogenitor started playing I was like 'holy poo poo holy poo poo holy poo poo' because that theme loving owns. I love dragon dad. vOv fucked around with this message at 00:15 on Feb 3, 2018 |

Rhonne posted:So when Yotsuyu gets her memory back, will she betray us or betray the empire? I think she's going to attempt to crawl back to her masters, but the Garleans aren't interested in her personal safety. They just want their secrets to not slip, so will attempt capture or assassination when she tries to make contact. Asahi doesn't care about her any, just what she holds that is currently locked away. Gosetsu is definitely dying in all of this from protecting her at the end, regardless what road the plot goes down.

I honestly don't think Omega will be "defeated" (it's got other games it needs to show up in after all) but we'll successfully drive it off or give it enough data that it decides to gently caress off.

All the others are accounted for; Bahamut, Nidhogg, and Ratatoskr are dead, Tiamat is self-imprisoned in Azys Lla, and Hraesvelgr is still doing his thing.

So yeah, Vrtra and Azdaja have made no appearances that I know of.

 I don't think he liked my glamour. SettingSun posted:Frankly I'm surprised they invite me to political engagements at all. I think it's to scare people with how good I am at killing things.

Got an 89 and it feels like you gotta be a bit loose with the themes. The skirt and ring were the worst of the bunch, to be sure. Dye everything.

Vrtra and Azdaja are down south in meracydia. Little is known about them because little is known about meracydia because they murder anyone that sets foot on shore after what the allagans did to them.

I got a 90  . Now to promptly never aim for anything higher than base 80, because lord knows I'm never gonna get 100.Edit: vvv I used an HQ Survival Shirt (Not Extreme) dyed Snow White and got four stars.

I am actually slightly angry at this stupid Fashion Report thing. An Extreme Survival Shirt is not considered simple, but a Falconer's Shirt is? This is extremely silly.

The theme was simple, but the overall theme was high class. A survival shirt is not something you’d wear to a ball. The falconer shirt looks fancy, without being something for the poors.

As a dude, my options for high-class long skirts are limited and I've already stuffed my glamour dresser full of stuff I actually want in there. There'll be more opportunities (although i forgot to get judged today.)

There are so many rings on the loot list as well as treasures that can only drop accs that you will get one super quick. HW rings are all classes too so the type doesn't matter.

Even though I have the vast majority of it, I personally don't think event gear should be Gold for the judging either. Just seems kinda sketch having things that are no longer obtainable unless you fork over money be the best thing, even though ultimately the Fashion Report has no effect on gameplay. Josuke Higashikata posted:There are so many rings on the loot list as well as treasures that can only drop accs that you will get one super quick.

It's also really easy to just blitz to the first boss of the Vault, and pick up the treasure chest tucked away where the pugilists ambush you from in the following hallway.

Ishgardian rings from Dusk Vigil (first boss) also count for gold medals (because it's the same model with Fortemps sigil) and are easier to farm, second chest (shortly after the first boss) also drops rings.

A cool thing about the fashion report is that every slot contributes to your score, not just the hinted ones, so the eternal mystery of getting that 100 will remain forever
