This appears to be his character: https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/character/39918658/#profile Literally no job levelled (or even unlocked) but PLD. Guy is cruising through the MSQ.

You know I never really thought of it until just now but the Ondo in Anamnesis Anyder summon monsters by channeling aether directly into concept crystals. I wonder how many of those things still work? They're all over the place in the tower in Mare Lamentorum and in that one cool mixed-biome dungeon they showed off.

Presumably the ones on the moon are more likely to be intact than the ones that were on the bottom of the ocean for a thousand years.

Idly contemplating the possibility of, instead of WoL and Zenos inhabiting Hydaelyn and Zodiark as Primal Mecha, Venat commandeering the empty Zodiark in an attempt to reseal the threat, and so a potential fight with Crystal Mom is more about rejecting another delay with the inevitable, making Zodiark-Hydaelyn the penultimate boss in that manner. It's a big blowout, endgame can have multiple a 90 trials, as a treat.

SirPhoebos posted:Have they ever discussed who Zenos got the echo from? It's implied he's always had it, at least in a limited form, and that his Resonant power is just him getting extra juiced up to be closer to a proper Ascian. I think they would've mentioned if his Echo template came from anyone special.

Oh dang yeah I'll be honest I assumed he got it as part of the Resonant process but him constantly hotboxing visions of the End of Days from birth meant that he probably had some sort of thing going on beforehand.

I think the implication is that he had the Echo, but that whatever the flaw was in the Garlean genome that made them unable to use magic prevented him from taking it further.

Speaking of Garleans and how they're magically mute, has it been hinted anywhere that the Garleans might have been bioengineered by the Allagans the same way the Ixal were? I feel like I've read this somewhere before

The Garlean's forerunners were the Gougans. They abandoned the city after Ramza (the original) got in a scrap there in Ivalice's heyday and haywire TECHNOLOGY tore the place apart and sucked most of the place into an extra-planar rift (this is how you go up from the Lighthouse into Goug in the raid), and gradually pushed northwards to find a new place to call home since they'd always had poor magical aptitude despite their technological prowess, making them fairly easy pickings for other races when they don't have the benefits of a built-up store of gadgets to work with.

Complete disregard for what everyone else treats as sacred or important. But really what makes Zenos work is his simplicity relative to the delusional and moronic ways Gaius and Varis justify their bullshit. For all their self-aggrandizing bullshit, the child of their ideology and heir to their throne is a nakedly violent sociopath.

Orcs and Ostriches posted:Fordola did, but we don't know about Zenos. I never like this logic, because it suggests a broken and rear end-backwards approach to testing on the part of the Empire. At the time of Stormblood, the Resonant project was still experimental. That's why they throw Fordola in; this is a racist totalitarian empire we're talking about, someone like Fordola is an acceptable sacrifice in the event of failure. Why would they do that if they were already confident enough with the process to have used it on Zenos? It doesn't make sense. Remember that, while Zenos is an awful lovely failson, the Empire as a whole doesn't really know or care. Varis won out as the successor to Solus in large part because of Zenos being there as a ready heir; he's well-regarded and highly valued, or at least was during Stormblood. You don't risk someone like that on an experimental procedure.

As Malus mentions in his dialogue during the Fordola cutscene, he was laughed out of Garlemald proper as a crank, and only managed to get Zenos interested in his theories. It's entirely explicable that Zenos would happily submit to a mad science experiment if it meant he could become even stronger.

It makes perfect sense because Zenos is 100% the kind of person who would let himself be part of a crazy mad science experiment if he thought it would be interesting and everyone else is the kind of person who would get a katana through the neck if they tried to argue. Tossing Zenos in as an experiment wouldn't make sense. Zenos wanting to be part of an experiment? Absolutely.

That's what I figured, he heard about some hosed up super-science procedure to make him better at fighting and jumped at the chance. That's why the lab in Castrum Abania was full of especially hosed up experiments, Zenos just let Malus do whatever he wanted.
