Ytlaya posted:I realized that there is in-game "proof" that the Warrior of Light is not a man. If the WoL - silent and stoic as they are known to be - was a man, then it does not make sense for Alphinaud to form a unique "big brother" relationship with Estinien. WoL as a sort of "big sister" figure to the twins just feels like it fits more. Please don’t be weird.

Do we know anything about the Tribe quests yet? Is there any chance the Loporrit's will be related to the (lvl 90 EX dungeon)Last Dregs, the cafe representing hope that sits where hope was nearly lost? I want it to be. Or, maybe the Omicron will be a secret third tribe and they can do it. I dunno. I just really want there to be more to the Last Dregs than a one-off quest.

Based on stuff they revealed during fanfests it'll be the Arkasodara, Loporrits and probably Omicrons. I assume it'll be gathering, crafting and combat in that order, that's just my opinion though.

So they are definitely going to do something with that cafe.

MechaX posted:Hell, even as Scholar, Emergency Tactics + Adlo healed for some chunky amounts of HP in an absolute clutch; I don't seem to have a clutch heal button for Sage and I find myself needing to stay on top of everything at all times. Most of Sage's abilities map almost 1-1 to Scholar in some way, and in the particular case of Emergency Tactics the equivalent is Pepsis. However, the Pepsis heal is weaker than the Eukrasian Diagnosis shield so getting any real value out of it for single target requires that you let the shield get partly spent before removing it. In general, replacing shields with heals is rarely useful: if you're in a (non-Doom) clutch scenario then it's because your target is about to take lethal damage, in which case shields are at least as good as raw HP. Pepsis is better for aoe where it turns Eukrasian Prognosis from 100 potency less than Succor to 70 potency less. You, uh, really don't want to resort to Eukrasian Prognosis if you can avoid it. Making healthbars go up fast means using your low cooldown HP recovery up buffs (Physis & Krasis) combined with other oGCDs in a way that other healers don't really need to bother with. For dungeon big pulls (also raids, not that I've seen much of those yet) it's very helpful to get into the habit of making one of those two the first oGCD you use, then weaving in other oGCDs on subsequent weave windows so they benefit. At 90 you'll also have Zoe + Pneuma once every two minutes, which is a 900 potency aoe heal that's additionally affected by your HP recovery buffs. It's the biggest direct heal in the game and comes with a big laser, so enjoy it. For your oGCDs, you probably don't want to use Kerachole before it gets the heal over time at 78. It would need to be up for roughly 2x your max HP worth of incoming damage to beat out the healing from Ixochole and Druochole that you're giving up, which is only potentially going to happen on tanks in really, really big pulls. Once Kerachole does get the 500 potency heal over time it's excellent: prefer it over Ixochole for group healing whenever you can, and prefer it as a tank heal over Druochole if the Taurochole buff isn't up. Having Kerachole as a caster-centered buff is so much nicer than Sacred Soil's ground target, even if I think Sacred Soil is technically 100 potency more.

I could see either being the crafting tribe, with the Loporrits wanting stuff from Etheirys to learn more about us while we lean into alchemy and the other crafting aspects of Radz-at-Han with the Arkasodara. Hell, maybe Last Dregs will be a Custom Delivery. That'd be cool too! Regy Rusty posted:Theres a dialogue option at the cafe to learn about other civilizations that currently only has one to choose from. So they are definitely going to do something with that cafe.

More ShB playthrough notes: Eulmore 70 MSQ: They didn’t waste any time in confirming my suspicions that the poor are granted entrance into Eulmore with a hidden purpose in mind, but I’m not sure what this “ascension” promised to the singer is yet. Are they turned into sin eaters, or sin eater food? I didn’t expect Vauthry to be this cartoonish of a giant baby. His design reminds me a bit of Don Corneo from the original FFVII and indeed I learned a bit later that his JP name is Don Vausuri when I shifted my dialogue language for a bit. The inhabitants of Eulmore are all in on Vauthry’s cruelty but they sure don’t lift a finger to stop the WoL, Alphinaud and some hurt catboy from escaping the whole. That felt a bit contrived to be honest. Lvl 71 dungeon and previous info dump: We get a big lore dump that expands (or refine I guess) the cosmology of the world. I thought the aborted calamity at the end of 1.x wasn’t cataclysmic enough for a shard to be absorbed, but according to the exarch it still worked. The 2.0 world didn’t seem nearly post-apocalyptic enough for that, and the previous umbral calamities had big socio-political impact this one doesn’t seem to have had? Of course we’re seeing the other calamities with historical insight, if the Garlean empire falls within 6 year of the calamity, it’s going to be seen as a consequence of it in a few centuries. I’m now puzzled about Elidibus though. His work is stated to be keeping the balance, including between the elements, but the whole Ascian project seems to be to unbalance things so that those world mergers can happen, so what’s his deal? I did Holminster’s Switch with a Trust and the party interactions were a bit less frequent or elaborate than what I had hoped for. Maybe that will improve in alter patches or in EW as they refine the concept. Tesleen’s payoff was… minimal, even with Alisaie in the party (I’m glad the post-dungeon scene went over this again). But at least you can take it slow and look at the beautiful corridor the devs crafted. Holminster might be the first village in the game that feels like a village, rather a few hovels in the overworld. The Exarch sure was cavalier about feeding a bunch corrupting ether to the WoL, but any misgivings were erased by the amazing visual of the sky splitting open (and the realisation a few minutes later that it was the title screen I spent months looking at as I played through the previous expansions. The change in atmosphere in Lakeland is rather striking. I’m curious about revisiting Ahm Araeng and Kholusia once their sick light glow is gone, since I spent much longer doing quests there than in Lakeland. Kholusia’s cliff in particular felt eerie in the weird lighting, but should look rather grandiose with a more normal one. L72 MSQ: I see Estinien has been roped to serve as the resident quest boy as we run around on the First. He’s probably the most prominent freelancer among the cast, most of everyone else that has a similar profile is a head of state or similar. Please show us Hoary Boulder and Coultenet do something other than sitting in Mor Dhona though. It’s time they farmed a better glam than what they’re wearing and it’s the perfect circumstances for them to do so. “There will be no one left in the lands they conquer. No citizens to conscript, no skills to exploit, nothing the Empire needs” Gaius’s still set on the Empire as a colonial resource extraction project. I’m glad he’s not all heroic all of a sudden. We then get acquainted with Ran’jit, who I guess will be one of the antagonists? I wasn’t expecting an old martial arts master to be the leader of Eulmore’s armies. Nice design though, and he's immediately intimidating. And Finally the Minfilia’s reveal. I’ve been curious about Thancred talking to her in the ShB trailer for a while now, but this is weirder than I expected. Please don’t be weird about this, Thancred. I don’t really have enough information to judge right, but either some kind of echo of Minfilia is being reincarnated over and over, or crystal mom is fixating on her for some reason and giving her blessing to the girl most similar to the original whenever one of the “Minfilias” die. We’ll see.

While I'm not sure calling a character who commits suicide a coward is a great idea, he's not a conspiracy theorist. He's a fascist. Part and parcel with doing horrible things to arbitrary groups of people is often the belief that it's justified because they'd do the same to you if they could. Plus he's fully bought in on the military glory poo poo.
