Okay real question here: Why? She was in like 1 patch and had really 0 interesting things to add the the cast or setting. Hell even the whole "Secret Scion who's Yda's best friend and Urianger's GF out of nowwhere" just helped seal her fate as "Actually unimportant character but we're about to kill her off so we need to make some cheap cheap pathos." dead meat.

Failboattootoot posted:She was more useful than all the other scions combined for her brief, beautiful existence at the time. Besides which, the only character in this whole stupid game who even functions as a character is Alphinaud. Everyone else is essentially a 1-note cardboard cut-out with less depth than the 2.0 blm rotation. Moenbryda has exactly the same amount of depth and personality as Thancred, Y'shtola, Papalymo, and barely less than Yda despite just finishing an entire expansion that was theoretically supposed to heavily feature her developing and evolving as a character but then... didn't. She was useful by coming up with the bright and amazing plan of "What if we hit them with a really big aetherial stick?" She was a nothing character without the hope of development because her backstory might as well have read "A traveling seer told me I'd die young and also I'm a week from retirement and thinking about asking my boyfriend to marry me."

ImpAtom posted:I don't think it's particularly fair to say that. The Omega in FFXIV isn't the (entirely characterless optional superboss) from FFV and while the bosses are straight references they have a fair bit of their own style to them. I don't see it as anything meaningfully different so far from the Guard Scorpion or Matoya or Cloud of Darkness or whoever. Omega itself has FFXIV exclusive flavor which I think is the important part. (And it's hard for me to complain about 'from another dimension' when the dragons and voidsent are also from other worlds and none the less are a part of FFXIV's setting and Omega's been around since at least the Allegan era.) it's also not entirely fair since Nero literally spends the fight intros to Delta 3 and 4 saying "Oh here's the fairy tales they're based on and hey some scholars think those books are based on Events X and Y in Eorzean history." And if doing these boss fights in a brand new combat system where almost nothing inherently transfers isn't enough to count as a cover for your standards your standards are kind of hosed.

I can't think of an MMO that does that kind of thing. Or at least, does it as well, as consistently, and with quality content like FFXIV does. I'm willing to bet that the reliable planned structure is part of what lets them focus on what they want to develop and get it out consistently.

The story is going to be that Zodiark is right and he shouldn't have been separated from the cosmic balance but tried to fix it in a super rear end in a top hat way and once we kill him Hydelyn Momma Crystal will go super berserk with light since there's no more dark to fight it back (whether or not this is intentional or she's just stupid is 50/50 split) and we'll have to beat her back into dormancy and find a way to reset the balance because mysterious powers that be haven't been right since like...FF5? Which is where the 'people's faith makes primals' and 'the world believes in the WoL as a savior' comes in and we use their faith to become new Zodiark.

Pugging has its frustrations, but at least when you're ready to play you can just play and not worry whether your seven friends are all ready too. Eh, it's mostly just been late starts and we're having fun playin the game with our friends (We were a friend group well before FFXIV so this is just something we do now). I'm not really all that driven to finish the raid content ASAP. I'm pretty loving well geared and next patch is a catch up one so my alt classes will get there. I just wanna see the fights and clear them at least once, tbh, and get better at healing and this is ideal even with the missed weeks.

ImpAtom posted:I think the return skip in Haukke manor makes it feel a lot shorter than it is, both because it cuts a lot of time out and because it makes it FEEL shorter. Even doing the walk back there only 1 new pull (the guys on the stares) compare to just Return'ing back. also Haukke is way shorter because there's only one room between the second boss and the final boss and that room features a single enemy that flees at ~60% HP.

I unironically can't wait until the provisional government of Ala Mhigo falls apart due to in fighting because Lyse seems like an absolutely poo poo leader who learned exactly all the wrong lessons. They set up a direct parallel with Hein promising to remember the tragedy of Yotsyuy's life, a tragedy she was sold into (twice!) because of how hosed Doman society was under his father, and Lyse's massive hate boner for Fordola and her allies, people that had no real hope or opportunity their lives except the dream of working for the Empire and getting the gently caress out. That parallel is probably going to be focused on a lot in the 4.X series as both nations rebuild and Fordola and Yotsuyu get expanded on a bit. Especially considering Yotsuyu has grandpa Gotestsu there to listen to her and perhaps help her find a better path and Lyse's plan for Fordola is to just let her rot. I wouldn't be surprised if Double Resonance Eye, Fully Used To It Rage Fordola ends up being the 4.3/4.4 'Stormblood Finale' boss fight where the big fancy version of Revolutions plays like Nidhogg, Mad Ghost Edition was for HW.

Mordiceius posted:This game is also about redemption. Fordola will be given a chance to join the Scions as a penance for her crimes. She'll be exiled from Ala Mhigo and told to serve the rest of her life as a Scion, away from her homeland, the one thing she loved. So she gets punished and has to do good. Plus, it spices up the Scion roster. She didn't love her homeland at all though? Seriously she resented her life and the decisions of her parent's generation that lead the country to become a devastated hole in the ground. She hated the people that still fought what was (until very very very recently) and entirely hopeless battle that would decimate their ranks even more Fordola and her supporters and the other people working for the Garleans did so not out of some love of country, but because they had no better option but to end up dead in a desert. No hope for the future, no past to take pride in. They were a lost generation, and that's why she was willing to give it all to Garleans for some hope of better tomorrow. Hell, even in the end the war was won by sheer luck and stupidity. Zenos in control of Shinryu could have easily killed everyone. The thing was just shy of Bahamut it power scale. The only reason we had a chance was because he didn't give two shits about the rebellion. he openly invited and allowed us to build our forced and push forward. He lets us have a chance by taking us in a direct fight. Literally the only reason Fordola isn't watching Lyse in prison right now and showing her how stupid she was to believe in a free Ala Mhigo is Zenos' massive battle boner. Forola and the skulls and the other collaborators did do some hosed up poo poo, but many of them had no better choice for most of their lives. Fordola was young enough to not know anything but Imperial rule. She's been serving long enough to reach one of the highest ranks available. Of course she isn't going to turn coat and run when some wispy blonde comes back after not being there for most of her life, not seeing the pain and agony the rebels struggle causes the people. Lyse's story will only be interesting/whole if there's actually someone to test her beliefs and decisions and Fordola is way better suited as the Iron Will against her than some lovely redemption arc where she's effectively set free with no real character development or focus. It's set up to be contrast with Yotsuyu's backstory where she was robbed of her future not by the Empire but by the structure of her own country. She was not failed by her ancestors' struggle she was failed by Hein's father allowing such gross poo poo to happen among his people because all he cared about was avoiding total destruction. It doesn't matter if your society is broken at a fundamental level, your own kinsmen turned against each other, you cut out their rights, as long as they're alive it's been good enough. Even with his rebellion Cyan (whatever the gently caress his name was) was too late to make good on what he had allowed, his society was already corrupt and awful. Fordola's problems is she genuinely believed the empire was the way to go, because it was the only glimmer of hope for her for so long to the point that she would put down her countrymen to force them into equal submission. Yotsuyu didn't give a poo poo about the Empire, or garlemeld or anyone, all she wanted was to be safe and be in control. Eventually this turned sadistic and focused on enacting revenge on Doma at large. Hein admits Yotsuyu's suffering was unjust and directly promises her, even after all she's done, he'll keep her struggle in mind moving forward, because her leaders, his fathers, failed her. Fordola on the other hand has Lyse who expressly sees no reason and has not empathy towards Fordola and her followers. She is purposefully spiteful to her at the end, basically telling her to rot. Lyse has stated she has learned nothing from her journey's in Ala Mhigo, seen nothing worth fixing, and holds absolutely no understanding of those that were stuck there suffering with no way out but death or servitude. Like given how much the game loves to show Hein as a smart, capable leader, its very much going out of its way to set up Lyse as someone that is stumble and will continue to stumble with the reins of leadership. And Fordola is probably going to a much bigger part of that than just 'And then we put her on trial.' ZenMasterBullshit fucked around with this message at 22:11 on Sep 10, 2017 |

i am tim! posted:Regarding the conversation about the Garlean Scientist, I wouldn't be surprised if he used that soul extraction stuff and downloaded himself into a Magitek Robot Body before dying. I wouldn't be disappointed either, he WAS criminally underused and I like the idea of a boss fight where he jumps from one big war machine to another trying to beat us. Well I mean there probably won't be primals in the Garlemeld based expansion since that's mostly an Eorzean thing since the empire wiped out the beast tribes of its region so SOMEONE has to pilot/possess all the Emerald/Ruby/Sapphire WEAPON knock-offs we'll be fighting instead of primals.

It's also a way to bring Nero along for the next expansion because he would NOT stand for that (unless he got to design and pilot the weapons himself). They don't even have to mecha-ize them like they did Ultima weapon. Garlemeld under that scientist nerd got real into creepy bio-tech poo poo with the wheelers and things. you could just have the FF7 weapons just as is.
