No, it’s not that they were genetically engineered to be used as slave labor or some other awful experiment, it was just loving cool to be huge. If anything tells you the Allagans were hosed up, it’s this. it's literally one of my favorite lore things. Such a great, dumb, thing.

Ironslave posted:This is true, but it would be a hell of a coincidence to find every single one of those 108 dead or dying. It's also suggested but not stated that Midgardsormr settled on Etheirys because it was the only planet he found that wasn't dead or dying. continued spoilers from this. DOES he explicitly say that? He says Etheriys was 'a lone light of hope' or something...Could that just mean he understood the whole aether shell protecting it thing, or that hydaelyn herself signaled to him that it was safe? I think it's fair to say Meteion did a good deal of damage to the universe but wouldn't really fit the message of the expansion if literally every star but ours is dead. Also 'spoiler' for the end of the studium quests Plus we know that at the very least the Sharlayans would very much like to begin exploring the stars and carrying a message of hope so it'd be a bit of poor storytelling if the resolution to that down the line was 'ope, we're alone actually'.

The calming presence that supports them both and encourages them to be better people and listens to their pain and frustration with undying devotion. yea if anyone in that throuple is staying at home baking cookies and tending to everyone's emotional needs it's Hythlo, Azem's out trying to punch compassion into people and Emet's trying to explain that responding to some evil warlord's monologue with 'bruh' isn't becoming of an ancient one.

Jetrauben posted:Honestly if you were looking for Israel Analogies (TM) in Etheirys Ul'dah is right there with its dysfunctional pseudoparliament, mixture of stereotypically European and Middle Eastern cultural trappings, awkward origins and burgeoning mercantile capitalism. these are really dumb comparisons too, the Ala Mhigo one is downright offensive and the Ul'dah one makes zero sense and is way more in line with actual insane antisemetic imagery if you're trying to say the country run by a syndicate of merchants in the shadows is 'more like Israel' than another... like this whole thing is stupid but if you're going to get all unironically upset at an obvious shitpost maybe don't make it more racist somehow

Jetrauben posted:It's considerably less antisemitic than "the country literally driven by a monstrous cult of evil bodysnatching wizards who are basically The Reason For All The World's Problems & driven by a fairly thin victimization narrative that's centuries old is totally Modern Israel You Guys." Israel is not an occupied nation, I mean it is but not in the sense you're saying, I don't even think the insane Likud crowd genuinely 'sees themselves' as an occupied people, I'm truly begging you to shut up

Worsts for me: Expert: Genuinely none, I guess if this is a 'gun to your head you gotta lose one' Dead Ends is the most easily hosed up if you're not paying attention on the second boss but god how can you hate it when it's such a perfect 'end of story' dungeon for EW? Leveling: Copperbell, more like Copper Hell am I right folks? But yea as boring as others like it are Copperbell has the unforgivable sin to me of multiple bosses where you just stand around watching poo poo happen. Worse, the poo poo isn't even fun to watch. Terrible, easily the worst dungeon in the game. Numbers: Tough one, easily the most love or hate chunk for me...I think for the one that makes me most actively go 'ugh, that one, poo poo' I have to agree with Pharos Sirius, not a bad dungeon but it's just so...awkward, it's the least fun to do because you simultaneously don't have to really worry much about it but also can't no-brains it and watch Netflix. Trials: gently caress Steps. Great storytelling trial, great experience the first time, but man is it just a slog now. Alliance Raid: Another tough one. I think Weeping City is the one I've personally had the most wipes on due to people not remembering poo poo, so that gets the vote by virtue of pure 'you annoyed me most recently'. Labyrinth is a close second just because of how many times people ignored the chat saying '4 have to be on each pad'... Normal Raid: A2, trash spam bad. Tbh as much as I like Alexander as a thing it's easily the weakest raid series by far and its age shows when next to some really amazing ones we've gotten now. RIP Alexander, you had a fun story and are a cool primal. MSQ: Castrum, duh, you have to actually look at things happening and can't just watch Netflix. Also yea Livia is juuuust annoying enough to cause possible actual problems for the group if you've all shut your brains off.

Jetrauben posted:Alexander's problem might just be that the actual bosses lack a lot of narrative context almost all of the time? Like mostly they're just interchangeable robots without a good set of cohesive framing devices that give each encounter a theme? yea the setpieces just kinda...run together. Brute Justice owns and obviously Alexander Himself is cool, but yea aside from them, Cruise Chaser, and that big nasty slag monster, everyone else is just 'big bipedal robot or a goblin who makes themself big' that don't seem to have much to do with things.

super sweet best pal posted:I think trash raids need to come back. Ever since Stormblood the raids have been nothing more than glorified Trials. we are mortal foes, because you said that like it's a bad thing  but yea tbh despite actively wanting 'glorified trials' more I wouldn't mind a trash raid or two to spice things up and I bet they can do it more fun now.

I should probably go through EW on at least one other character that has some different jobs leveled to 80, my main's a sage with a splash of dancer so I'm mainly trying to decide if I wanna do it again as a Gunbreaker or Ninja...or maybe Black Mage. How do those guys feel now that we've had a chance to play them in full context of raids and all?

Vermain posted:IIRC, the Autumn War was still within a living generation of Ala Mhigan history, so broad distrust over the willingness for Gridania to let bygones be bygones wouldn't be amiss. yea That's why the moment when Lyse shows up to offer help to Gridania is so important, it's symbolizing that the new, free, Ala Mhigo won't be what it was and a desire to rebuild relations and all.

All other jobs ultimately just feel like different algorithms applied to series of button presses. yea Ninja was really unique and cool in 11, I like 14's a lot but nothing really ever felt like using an army of shadow clones to soak damage and all

Bleck posted:I'm not too in the know, what's wrong with DRK? it's fine, it has the best consistent DPS right now and all the tools work perfectly well, but the issue is A) it's big 'oh poo poo' button is maybe one of the worst I've ever seen in an MMO that actively is unusable in a dungeon with a low heals healer like Sage and B) all three other tanks got huge boosts while DRK's rotation remains really simple and dull compared to how it used to be so it's mainly a case of being the neglected kid rather than actively sucking

Ciaphas posted:just unlocked the 89 trial - very surprised (and pleased) to see it's Trust-supported, but slightly annoyed by the plot lead-up to it, specifically the trope of proving oneself in deadly combat with a close ally. that one always gives me a big ol' eyeroll, even when it seems completely justifiable in the plot don't read until after, but I am curious if it being a genuine 'I'm fading and my time has come to an end, I want you to kill me so you can show you're worthy of protecting things without me' thing made it better for you. I also hate the 'prove your worth to me by fighting me with your real sword and super magics!' trope but I really liked the angle of 'no but for real killing me proves you're able' sincerity.
