VIERAPRIL DAY 19. carry

[koukouture]

i saw a reblog under my post of azem haunting the narrative and it said smth like "ffxiv is a story where you haunt your own story" and it's just. wow. yeah it is. literally everything we know about azem can probably be summarized in a couple of sentences and yet their influence just reaches so far and so many things just end up leading back to them and then so many characters embody the idea of the traveller in so many different ways and it's just aaaahhhhh

it's such a masterclass in subtle character building tbh. like obviously they can't make azem too overt in their actions and the fact that they didn't join venat either makes them ambiguous enough that the player can project and think "hmm what would my azem do" but it also gives them a pretty solid idea of where azem stood and what they did. the player can still decide why they did it but it's still open ended enough. azem you will always be famousssss

and you the player? you are haunted by the actions of your old self. almost everything in ffxiv would be different if azem hadn't done what they did. if they weren't the person who they were. but who are they? i don't fucking know. nobody does. that's for you to think up in your own mind. honestly i don't think squeenix gets enough credit with how well they handle the self inserts aka wol and azem. they both have a set list of characteristics and embody certain values but it's kind of up to you as the player to decide why and how they do that.

i'm still so idk just amazed by that idea. you haunt your own story. you did all this and you don't even know it. or, you don't know the full extent of it.

Website idea: Writers of all nationalities give each other advice on how to name OCs from their native culture/language.

For example, a native English speaker can tell you that "Henry Edward" is kinda weird and evokes Tudor kings, and a native Chinese speaker can tell you that, I don't know, "mīmī" sounds cute but means titties.

Re: Chinese names, there is something cool people should know about, (maybe you already know):

Using this database, you can access the names and biographical information of real people across Chinese historical periods and dynasties. You can go on here and find the names (not just given names but courtesy names and other sorts of honorary aliases, depending on the period) of thousands of real individuals, though it's almost entirely men in the older dynasties. Very few women.

Need a character name for your Tang Dynasty official? Check out the CBDB and find a *literal Tang Dynasty official* to grab a name from!
