I made it to the other side of the expansion and completed Endwalker! What a wonderful journey this has been!
Heavensward will probably always be my favorite expansion, but Endwalker is very close and I loved it. It took me by surprise some times and I love how at first I thought “Oh, this is going to be a lot of beating the crap out of Garlenas”, but then they did this wonderful nihilistic philosophy stuff. I am totally in love with that. And before anyone says “Oh! Then you should try Nier: Automata!”. Yes, yes. Already done that and loving it.
As some might now I am a professional writer in my native language and also from time to time I publish some short stories in anthologies - mostly horror stories with a focus on Lovecraftian cosmic horror. With Endwalker they worked on the same themes I try to explore in my stories, but whereas my stories often are rather hopeless and pressimistiv I adore their positive spin on the whole nihilistic stuff.
There is still so much stuff to think about. The story touched me and there were so many great moments. I am sad it is over now, but I look forward for the next adventures. Thank you FF14 for this amazing journey into despair and out of it again. That was some pretty impressive empowering stuff. Just the kind I need right now.
So, I am back now. I still do not have too much time, but finally I will be able to scroll through my tumblr dashboard without worrying about not getting spoiled. Thus ... be prepared! For I am going to like and reblog again more often now!
And maybe, hopefully!, I can get to some of the prompts in which I was tagged. I still have many of those lying around here. Do not worry. I have not forgotten about them. Just did not have much time to do those.
