Nessus posted:If the sacrifices were entirely voluntary and you already had two drafts, the people who are left... would be presumably largely the people who, you know, would not volunteer to sacrifice for the good of the star, given two opportunities to do so. Or just the people who weren't selected for whatever reasons. If 100% of the Ancients were willing to sacrifice themselves, that doesn't mean all 100% are going to be used if they aren't necessary.

I don’t know why but I always assumed Sabik was a crocodile man. Turns out it’s a star in Ophiuchus. I guess I was thinking of Ammit, the crocodile-lion-hippo from Egyptian mythology

Sora is just he WoL for KH. Master of multiple weapons and styles? Check. Able to summon his friends to his side for a fight? Check Able to break the laws of reality and do the impossible through sheer determination and will to stop people from hurting his friends? You bet your rear end. Stupid as all hell? Of course! Zenos would love Sora. Probably more than he loves the WoL cause Sora does not pull punches and will just kill a dude. ZenMasterBullshit fucked around with this message at 23:43 on Jan 2, 2022 |

So I was thinking about the "Myths of the Realm" 24 man raid recently. At one point, I had forgotten that we were going to deal with The Twelve in the 24 man raid, so I'm very curious how they're going to handle it. I mean, both the 8man raids and the 24man raids for an expansion have 12 bosses, so if we're going to actually fight manifestations of The Twelve, we can fit them all in. But the interesting thing is going to be the logic behind it and how they group them. What is the setting? Who is the final boss for each arc? Like, I feel like in the 8man raids, since you get story between each boss, you can spend time hyping up each boss. With the 24mans, you kinda don't? Thinking further on this, maybe I'm just way off the mark here, but it feels like 24man raids focus more on setting than the actual bosses, if that makes sense? For 8 man raids, the bosses' identities are more important than the setting. For 24 man raids, the setting is more important than the bosses' identities. - Which is something I never really considered when thinking about it before. But it makes sense. Every 8man raid is just an arena, so the actual location isn't too important. Every 24man raid has you exploring an area. Just some random thoughts and musings on something that isn't Venat/The Convocation/The Sundering/The Ancients.

Does the Phoenix thing mean that the guy in Pandaemonium isn't ARR Lahabrea? People were assuming that was the case but i thought our one was the guy who made the Phoenix and that's already happened at the time of Pandaemonium.

The Lahabrea we've fought is actually Athena, and we're leading to a big lesson about why reviving the dead is always a bad idea, hence why the sections of Pandaemonium are named after parts of Hades. It will not coax away anyone who says that the third sacrifice to Zodiark was totally fine. Look, Endwalker has taught me that if I want to guess right I have to go for a goddamn moonshot and basically predict multiple plot reveals ahead, so I am.

ImpAtom posted:I'm not so sure. We know if nothing else that Venat had a sizable enough number of 'willing to sacrifice' followers that they could bring Hydaelyn into being and I'm pretty sure Emet-Selch would have been willing to sacrifice himself if he wasn't critical to the plan working. I don't doubt that there were some assholes left remaining but I can only imagine the answer was more "People who for whatever reason didn't or couldn't get picked" Actually, Azem when given the plan to make Zodiark argued so badly against it they left the Convocation entirely to try and find a different solution. Zeruel posted:didn't someone spot the mask on top of Erics head being the same as Lahabrea? Eric is the son of the current Lahabrea and the Convocation masks are for their seat not the person.

At one point, I had forgotten that we were going to deal with The Twelve in the 24 man raid, so I'm very curious how they're going to handle it. I expect if we do Menphila is going to be one of the bigger ones considering she is goddess of the moon + Dalamud was associated with her. I would genuinely not be surprised if they go for "Each of the Twelve gets battled" that she is the last boss because fighting the incarnation of Love/The Moon feels like where they'd go for a raid-ender.

They will pull a Eden and make you fight two at once so the last boss is something different. Quote me in 12 months.

Shards of Azem from twelve different reflections all showed up on the Source to stablize things (and taste the food) and then returned to their home planet. It's Azem all the way down.

It occurs to me that on top of Garlean Reconstruction, it's totally possible that New Sharlayan Reconstruction is in the future, since all the reasons for abandoning the colony no longer apply. (Also, frankly, I have a hard time seeing them actually reconstruct Garlemald. That place is hosed.)

Or, hell, ask the rabbits if they can have a subdivison for Neo Sharlayan.
