Let's return to the way Etheirys once was, hundreds of millions of years past.

To a quiet and peaceful time, long before the light of mankind was kindled.

i think like how healers in ffxiv have the rescue ability to drag people to where they're currently standing, they should give tanks a new ability that pushes people away from them, with the intention tanks can use it when someone is going to get hit by a cleave or something. we can call it 'get down mr president'. nothing bad could possibly come from this

[purple-cat-demon]

Okay but this is actually a good idea!? Like I’ve seen the insane tank busters attacks in the new content and this would be useful especially for those running the content for the first time.

Some people (including myself) don’t have the best/quickest reaction times when it comes to avoiding all the BAD and if I could smack a squishy someone away before they get hurt that would be great!

(Though, there is the risk of smacking them INTO another bad…)

[atinae]

As someone doing roulettes and watching all the returning/new players not knowing what a yellow tank buster is...yes, please, give me the ability to shove the dps to the side so they dont get smacked with a line-effect tank buster.

Thinking of you, kind dragoon that tried to stack for what you thought was a stack marker on Kam'lanaut...

What the healer yoinketh, the tank may yeeteth away

i like when they wheel estinien out to talk to dragons because the game will be like, estinien really has a way of talking with dragons! and the way he talks with dragons is like "are you a pussy or something" and then the dragon will be like "god you're such a bitch just like nidhogg" and, crucially, this works every time

[tainbocuailnge]

estinien peptalking dragons

[tainbocuailnge]

estinien's character arc is letting go of his anger so he can stop being an empty suit of armor propelled by vengeance and go back to being a real person and he's by far the most chill of the recurring characters now that he's done that but one of his core tenets remains "there are things worth getting mad about and you should be getting mad about them" and it's funny every time when he comes across a dragon wallowing in defeatist self pity and has to go "god shut the fuck up and just get mad about it like a normal person"

[tboylucifer]

I don't think Estinien ever worries about the WoL, not because he doesn't care, but because anything you do he just assumes you'll succeed, even if it shouldn't be possible. You brought Ishgard and dragons together, you and Alphinaud saved him from Nidhogg's eyes, and then you immediately freed two more countries, of course you're going to save this other world and bring the scions' souls home. He doesn't really understand it, but it sounds like you have it covered. The world is ending? Man it's a good thing we got you on our side. Fought a god of despair at the edge of the world? That's a Tuesday for you, right? The WoL is seemingly dying on the spaceship floor? Nah, watch this, they're gonna perk up in about ten minutes and give us each a high five. (Alisaie smacks him for saying this, but he's absolutely still right.)

Estinien may not be the smartest of the scions, but he is wise, and he may not fully understand what plot armor is, but he's definitely clocked that you got it.

...something something funny how mythological imagery dictates that to meet demonic Zodiark we had to ascend to the highest peak of the heavens and see his seal undone surrounded by the ghost of millions of ancient scholars, while to meet Hydaelyn, we had to descend to the deepest pits of hells harassed by the ghosts of those who opposed us but also aided by allies of eld before standing for the angelic goddess at the heart of the world beneath the ground.

Yoshi P should bring back Alaimbert of the Spiked Butt as a boss and give him a move called Butt Slider so he can say to fans: "Well? This is what you asked for, right?"

never kill yourself insane people

[leonleonhart]

I think there's a very good setup happening in 7.5 towards Evercold that is like, a direct critique to certain player reactions throughout Dawntrail.

Are you an unstoppable force of violence? Is a hand on your shoulder the only thing stopping you from rending your enemies asunder? Is it really necessary for characters in the role quests to remind you that the average person does not have your strength? For them to ask you to hold back?

And if you think you should be allowed to act unhindered, to kill who you think you should, in what way are you different to a villain that lit the world on fire for a chance to fight someone that matches your strength? Will you do all you can because you must, or just because you want to?

FINAL FANTASY XIV: EVERCOLD

[windupherois]

so how are we feeling about that trailer huh

[edoro]

In the fan favorite expansion of critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV, Shadowbringers, at one point you go to the DMV. Not a regular DMV either. It's a ghost DMV. It's the bittersweet memory of a long dead civilization's DMV crafted from the mind of the only surviving member of that civilization, who is apparently the kind of guy who takes great comfort in meticulously recreating the fucking DMV. And you have to wait in line, despite the fact that you and your companions are the only living beings there and everyone else is a ghost. At the ghost DMV. Because that's what you do at the DMV, obviously.

And the guy's dead wife is there. At the ghost DMV. The dead wife is a ghost and he's the ONLY ghost who knows he's a ghost. In the ghost DMV. You make friends with the guy's dead wife (while waiting in line) (at the ghost DMV) and he tells you that the lunatic immortal wizard who's making you defeat his seven evil bureaucratic processes while you die of magic cancer before you can even fight him directly is really just a silly sentimental fella.

Then in the next expansion you get to live through the dead wife flashbacks yourself. You get to meet the dead wife when he's alive in the past, outside of the DMV. And it turns out he works at the real DMV, in the past. And he has pink hair. And he and the past-self version of the insane immortal wizard (who sent you to the ghost DMV) pull off a sick prank to help you close the timeloop.

Later, you run into the dead wife's real ghost on the moon, which is actually a spaceship full of immortal bunnies.

#and one of the best moments is when the insane immortal wizard in the past#says 'pshaw i will for sure not become an insane immortal wizard. i would never do that'#and then due to Fuckery ends up forgetting all about that until he dies#and then presumably has a beautiful moment of 'oh fuck i DID become an insane immortal wizard'#ffxiv is truly the game that keeps on giving via @kratosaurioned

[unseenphil]

My favorite is when you later meet the past self of a -different- insane immortal wizard and tell him about his future and he's just like "Yeah, that sounds like sort of shit I'd do, actually,"

[el-jarado]

It’s still something that fucking sends me that Shadowbringers delves into the lore of the insane immortal wizards and you find out their ominous names are job titles from the elder days.

You have been apocalyptically beefing with “chief engineer”, “messenger boy”, and “director of public transport.” Millions have died. The most powerful sorcerer in the universe just really wants to go back to his job at the DMV.

But even now, I cannot let go of my dream -- My dream of a tomorrow in which no child need freeze alone in the snow.

does a fictional character ever make you feel such intense emotions that you make a video edit for the first time in several years
