Cog's Corner @greenmagic-oilspill - Tumblr Blog

Gonna make a pinned post I guess

Name: Matt, sometimes I use Cogs (as in a XIV OC, Cogflox), Baithin, or Flibbertigibbi on other sites though

On tumblr since: like 2010 (🤮)

Currently writing: Opera Omnia: Opus Astralitas

Opera Omnia: Opus Divinitas: Complete

These are fanfics continuing the story where Dissidia Opera Omnia left off at the end of Act 4. Opus Divinitas is Act 5, while Opus Astralitas is Act 6. Also dabbling in some original fiction every so often.

Hi! This is my tumblr where I mostly reblog posts about various FF games and occasionally yell about them in the tags. I have played every single main game and almost every spinoff and I genuinely love them all. Occasionally you’ll see other fandom posts but it’s mostly FF.

Favorite games: XIV, X/X-2, and XII

Currently playing: Dragon Quest VII Reimagined, FF Explorers (on hold)

I’m also a bit known for Distorted Reality, an Avatar: The Last Airbender fanfic.

XIV characters: Edge Marbrand, Baithin Alberona, Azionne Melisandre, Granny Moss, Talon Oakes, Linini Mooglesworn, Siz’ir Johcandalo, Yue Dustdreamer (Balmung), and also Pachi Jovas, Majv Saga (Zalera). I also used to be Gogonegi Momonegi, but he has been retired.

FF games I still need to play/finish: Dirge of Cerberus, Lightning Returns (mostly done), Dissidia Duodecim (mostly done), FFXV Comrades DLC, My Life as a King/Darklord, FF Explorers, Vagrant Story (I’m counting it)

Sorry, I do not have a consistent tagging system because I’m just too lazy.

The most important thing you can do in this life is write hyper-specific fanfiction for you and six other people. Don’t believe anything else you read.

#my hyper specific fanfiction is including virtually every FF character in one giant plot-filled crossover #so is that hyper specific or the opposite #it’s niche because it includes literally hundreds of characters #so anyone looking for content specifically of their faves might be disappointed I guess

Final Fantasy V fans: do you think Ghido is a giant turtle or just a regular sized one?

greenmagic-oilspill

I’d say giant turtle just because of his Amano artwork… but a regular sized turtle would be funnier.

yannow not to be a gridania defender or anything but it rubs me the wrong way when people are like "gridania is the only one of the arr city-states which never solved its very obvious social and organizational problems and thus it's the Evil Racist One that it's fine to hate" because like. you understand that that is fully a result of the plot giving literally nothing to gridania ever, right? you understand that gridania's internal politics are never ever given the attention that ul'dah and limsa get? you understand that huge portions of post-arr and post-heavensward and post-stormblood and post-shadowbringers are dedicated to limsa and ul'dah's social issues and npcs and their relationships to each other? you understand how kan-e-senna's second-in-command, who is literally gridania's equivalent of raubahn, does not have a fucking name?

you understand how the two scions you're introduced to in the gridania start are important for at most two expansions, one of which they barely appear in, before disappearing from the story forever aside from cameos? as opposed to the scions you meet in limsa and ul'dah, who remain important for the rest of the game up til today???

yeah, i would fucking love for the main story to start questioning gridania about its institutional racism and trying to fix it, because that would mean that the main story gave a single fuck about gridania. give us some duskwight and seeker main characters please. give us duskwight and seeker lore please. give us SOMETHING. you can't even learn how gridania's government works without reading side stories, which has led to this weird misconception that kan-e-senna is like, a fascist despot who used the calamity to consolidate power!!! Give Gridania ANYTHING!!!!!

Do enjoy that FFXIV doesn't write the same villain twice.

In A Realm Reborn we get the cocky, self-righteous Gaius and the mad scheming Lahabrea

In Heavensward, we have the ever raging and prideful Nidhogg, the power hungry and corrupt Thordan and the Heavens' Ward, we get the revenge driven Estinien possessed by the uncomprimising Nidhogg reborn, coupled with the stoic Igeyorhm and a different version of Lahabrea, one more calculating and yet severe.

In Stormblood we have the vengeful Yotsuyu, her bumbling brute, the complicated Fordola, and the disinterested but honed Zenos.

In Shadowbringers we have the driven Ran'jit, the self-absorbed Vauthry, the melancholic and cruel Emet-Selch, and the zealotry of Elidibus.

In Endwalker, we have Zenos returned but seemingly even more ennui than his Stormblood encounter, he seems more inwardly inspective yet seems to miss the point of us, we got the nihilistic Fandaniel, and the cruel to be kind Meteion.

In Dawntrail, we have the boastful Bakool Ja Ja, the self-assured yet waivering Zoraal Ja, the scheming Sareel Ja, the polite Sphene, the diabolical Sphene, and the cold Calyx.

Now with the upcoming patches they've pitched the cold calculating Calyx with the solemn yet accepting Halmarut.

No two villains are truly identical. They could of seen Elidibus and Emet-Selch's popularity and tried the past few expansions to recreate the lightning in a bottle. But they continued to add nuance or a greater element. Even with Zenos returning, he doesn't seem to be the same Zenos as the one in Stormblood. He feel uniquely grown and different from the past. Though he is trying to hit the same beats as he did before, the story is different so things are thus as well. Its a nice change of pace, that he is trying to recreate what he THINKS drew us to fight him in Stormblood and while being introspective and galling of Jullus but completely missing the entire fucking point of our past conflict.

That is to say nothing of how each Ilberd encounter feels different, the Warriors of Darkness, Ysayle, Asahi, Stormblood Era Elidibus, Golbez, all feel interestingly varied. In how they grow and how each of their appearances when set against us are different in their own way. Each no longer a single note but building into a symphony.

#FFXIV #heck even the Hildibrand villains are all different

Wakka: I can't believe we're gonna fight Lady Yunalesca! Gimme a break! Lulu: You can always run. Wakka: Hah! I'd never forgive myself-no way! Not if I ran away now. Even in death, ya! Lulu: Hmm. My thoughts exactly.
