World War Mammories posted:in the finale, lolorito's corpse is used as a catalyst to summon the most evil primal of all, a horrifying amalgamation of friedrich hayek and murray rothbard Uhh Lolorito is now a Good Guy and on Our Side ever since 3.0, please forget anything that would make you think otherwise except as a joke, tia - MSQ. It's funny how much the game throughly threw under the bus everything bad lolorito did to remove the impact of 2.55 as much as possible. Like, the 50 Cul quest is him being a saturday morning cartoon villian levels of petty but as of 4.x, he's our friend-nobody-likes guy.

Lolorito Did Nothing Wrong Teledji fully planned to gently caress Lolorito over too, it's just that T was an incompetent idiot and Lolorito chessmastered his way into ownership of the plot so he could undo it. He's still an rear end in a top hat capitalist but better him than the guy who wanted to collapse the entire country.

In 6.0 we should get to bring gay communism to Eorzea (or at least Uldah) and get to shoot all the capitalist shites into the sun. I always find it funny when there's some little poo poo Lala with huge Roe bodyguards. You'd think at some point they'd just be like "wait we can just crush him and take all his money."

Thundarr posted:Lolorito Did Nothing Wrong He still let a plot that crippled 3 of our friends happen just to get rid of a rival. Really our characters are VERY apathetic that he was partly the cause of one of our friends still actively dying just to see as part of the fallout, and all his punishments have happened off screen. I feel like they should just not bring him up so much.

Regarding Lolorito: I feel that it was always the writers' intent to have him as a "shadowmaster ally." In 1.0, the ALC quests involved the former Guildmaster, Faustigeant, and his son, Damielliot. Eolande Quiveron, former holder of Godbert Manderville's Syndicate seat, was the mother. The problem with Damielliot was that he had a "mysterious sleeping ailment;" in reality, he was the victim of a sleeping poison as part of a plot by Teledji Adeleji and Fyrgeiss Loetkilbsyn to pressure Quiveron into giving up her seat. Lolorito was funding the search for a cure - which proved fruitful, as the 2016 Starlight Celebration featured an older Damielliot as a principal character. Eolande was assassinated during the chaos of the Calamity, though, and Lolorito, feeling like he failed her, bends over backwards to fund and assist Damielliot's request for a small favor in the Starlight Celebration. He used the alchemical research he'd funded in the Nanamo story, which was meant to be seen as a callback (but that would require players be familiar with... a storyline no longer accessible, that was never actually resolved while the game was originally running). He also tried to keep the Heartstrike dagger safe, including commissioning a bunch of duplicates to throw thieves off the tracks, but, well, the Ul'dah plotline happened. He was funding the Scions through shell companies, too. Of course, a lot of this isn't spelled out and is in 1.0 and seasonal event and sidequest material if it's ever been in-game, so most players see a scheming Lolorito who then just says "lol actually everything was fine." The writers aren't always the best at conveying everything they want; failure of execution rather than retconning intent, is all I think happened. The Chefsbane thing is probably meant less as "he's trying to embarrass the Warrior of Light" and more of "he's trying to embarrass the Bismarck, a Limsa Lominsan and not Ul'Dahn establishment." Anything else aside, of course, he's still a Capitalist and founded the expy for the bloody East India Company.

I believe Eolande is even one of the re-animated corpses you can "put to rest" in Palace of the Dead. That one's pretty sad.

I think Lolorito's motives come down to "Don't rock the boat" because the current situation works wonderfully for him. Teledji wanted to use Omega to take over Ul'dah and become the ruler, as far as Lolorito is concerned, he already does rule Ul'dah. Primals and the Empire would both ruin Lolorito's wealth and power, so he funds and supports those who fight them. I think Lolorito would turn on the good guys without a second thought if they started to actually work against his interests, but SE for whatever reason seems to think the status quo in Ul'dah is a good thing to be supported.

Died at 10% on Proto-ozma because someone hosed up acceleration bomb, and I wasn't lucky enough for spirit to trigger. LB3 might have saved me, but a dragoon proceeded to use it before the healer could, only for the DRG to be animation locked and die themselves. So in summary, Euraka is ok, BA sucks dick because of the effort spent trying to get into the loving thing.

Primals and the Empire would both ruin Lolorito's wealth and power, so he funds and supports those who fight them. I don't know if SE is suggesting status quo Ul'Dah is good, but they ARE suggesting that status quo Ul'Dah is something we have neither the time nor resources to overthrow in bloody revolution given that our odds against the Empire already look fairly poor. A large part of Nanamo's character arc has been "stop trying to run away from your role as ruler so that you can actually meaningfully combat the influence of the Monetarists". Which isn't unreasonable. Her idea for a Republic, while nice, in the current state of things would be immediately subverted by the Monetarists like Lolorito. The story does seem to endorse the idea that the Sultana's motives for pursuing the abdication+Republic plan were more selfish than practical. She's used to letting someone else like Raubahn do the heavy lifting, she feels helpless, this is just another way of passing the buck.

At least I think that's what happened. And their previous king was a certified lunatic who made such a mess of things that he was violently overthrown, IIRC. Ala Mhigo was a perfect storm of a pariah state in chaos after the collapse of its last vaguely legitimate government which also happened to be deeply corrupt, paranoid, and generally bad for the country. There's a reason why at the end of 4.0, the various groups that make up the Resistance decide that they are not bringing the monarchy back in any form.

Ishgard also seems like a really, really lovely place to try to invade. For the most part not assailable from the ground, either for the treacherous terrain or the endless storms. They're also in a state of constant zealous vigilance due to their forever-war with the dragons. That alone might be cause for pause, as Midgardsomr wrecked the Empire's Eorzean force well enough on his own, they probably don't want Nidhogg's and Hresvelgr's broods getting on their case in the middle of an invasion. Plus we don't know if they know about Lucia's defection. She might still be feeding them information back to dissuade them from any action.
