HOW ABOUT I LASH YOUR SHIT


Hellioning posted:

I didn't mind G'raha but I think he's given us the 'we are going to go on a great adventure and I want you to bring me along' speech at least three times by this point and I'm beginning to question if his memory is going.

When he gave the "Let's go on an adventure" speech in Ultima Thule, I wanted an option for my WoL to smack him upside the head and say "What the gently caress do you think we're doing right now?!?" :argh:

I kinda felt this way as well with some things. The game does a poor job of connecting the Scions to Louisoix and the twins and it's easy to miss stuff in the cutscene avalanche.

This video someone posted that was apparently in the ARR collector's edition release would help to ground new players although it is a bit overlong.

Hildibrand would get hit by every boss mechanic and somehow still survive.

Give me a full Hildibrand trust group. Nashu, Greg, Gigi(both small and swole form), maybe one of his zombie friends, Godbert, and Julyan.

And then KH3 gives you a bunch of fun weapon transforms you could use to cover gaps. The Tangled keyblade's staff form is a perfect WHM weapon.

Or just use donald weapons I guess.

Female moon cats just have short punchy names, with no tribal letter like sun cats have. Male sun cats have their mother's name with a suffix at the end indicating the order they were born. Family names are also taken from the mother.

So for instance, Lalah Amariyo is a female moon cat. She has a son. The son would be named Lalah'a Amariyo, since 'a is the suffix for a firstborn son. The most prominent NPC you can see this quirk with is probably Zhai'a from the Black Mage quests - his mother would have been named Zhai, and he's her firstborn.

Mooncat women have relatively normal names, but the men literally have their mom's name except with a suffix on the given name that denotes birth order.

I can't blame G'raha for wanting to shore up his hope for the future before diving in to pit said hope against the despair of the Omicrons.

How was it not clear what was going on there? Did people also miss the point of Urianger's scene?

Zenos: I am horny... and ready to gently caress. Hard.
G'raha: shoves him aside No warrior of light! Stay true to the light! I am horny! And ready to gently caress! presses hi index fingers together, cat ears twitching Um, if you want, that is.
Estinien: arms crossed, leaned against a wall ... ... ... ... I'll gently caress.

Emet: in hell heaven Ahhh, if only I could express my deepest erotic desires to the Warrior of Light, whom I love and thirst for.
Hythlodaeus: in heaven, for real Oh well good news Venat just figured o-

in the jp version haurchefaunt was very explicitly written with sexual/romantic interest in you but theyve pretty deliberately stayed away from that after. the only real other instance of it being super explicit is aymeric. and ig zenos, in his own hosed up way. you can definitely read graha that way, but its also entirely possible to read it as just platonic hero worship.
