idk man im just here to shoot stuff and look good @wandererspaean - Tumblr Blog

Vrtra really said "Even here have we heard of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn" like he wasn't having Thavnair intelligence scooping up every detail of anything and everything to do with Louisoix Leveilleur the second he heard Bahamut hatched and was ready to glass Eorzea and Some? Mortal??? from Sharlayan managed to almost tank the blow

Ahewann, sprinting out of the meghaduta into the town square: I Need The Sharlayan Ambassador Right The Fuck Now

Five, six years later and the intel squads say the Scions have imploded, except whoops no they haven't they've snuck out of the regicide accusations into Ishgard and have disappeared into Dravania trying to end the Dragonsong War? pffff yeah good luck with that Nidhogg's been filling up my inbox for a thou- WAIT WHAT? WHO?? AND THE LEVEILLEUR GRANDSON???

Ahewann, sprinting straight to the Ishgardian consulate without stopping: Hey Uh Can You Tell Me What, and please understand this is very important, The Fuck

Then for a short bit family matters quiet down, again, maybe. Estinien "Not Not Nidhogg" Wyrmblood passes through Thavnair but moves on to Othard pretty quickly. Ahewann gratefully takes off his running shoes and Vrtra peels himself off the ceiling like a scared cat from worrying which would be worse to meet, Estinien or Nidhogg. Midgardsormr dies again but that's less of a big deal than it should be, he'll sleep it off. Tiamat is suddenly flying again for the first time in five millenia so that's . . . good, the world is ending but that's good at least. Estinien Wyrmblood may or may not have joined the Scions, no one can get a solid confirmation. Anyway he's got to get these scales to the alchemists, the Baldesion reps are coming soon, he can't focus on his own family drama right now-

He looks up and standing before him is an Archon astrologian in a bathrobe, another Archon nerd cosplaying as a gunbreaker, two Archons oh this must be the Baldesion group, [INSERT INSANE PLAYER CHARACTER APPEARANCE], well they look . . . interesting, are they imitating the Warrior of Light? and an Ishgardian dra -

Vrtra, malms away in the meghaduta: A

Vrtra: Ahewann

Vrtra: Ahewann we've got a Code Leveilleur situation here

Ahewann: What?

Vrtra: THE SCIONS ARE HERE

Vrtra: ESTINIEN WYRMBLOOD IS H E R E

Vrtra: GET YOUR SHOES ON AHEWANN HOW DID WE MISS THIS

Ahewann, spilling curry down his front, bursting out of the throne room with laces untied: Hey Everybody Come Help Me Throttle The Spymaster

ffxiv dialogues that make me feel like i am being punched in the throat:

The rains have ceased, and we have been graced with another beautiful day. But you are not here to see it.

…but if such things were possible, you wouldn’t have a broken shield, now would you?

In your darkest hour, in the blackest night…think of me…and I will be with you. Always. For where else could I go? Who else could I love but you?

Do not seek forgiveness, for it will not ease the burden. It weighs as it should.

At journey’s end, an opportunistic thief makes off with the hero’s prize. A paltry way to end a chapter, I concede.

I would ask her about her next adventure. And if she should wish me to be a part of it, oh… how happy it would make me.

Tell me… If you had the strength to take another step, could you do it?

The glory of the heavens was ever beyond the grasp of those who never thought to reach for it. But if I’ve gained anything from all of this, it is the courage to stretch out my hand

This demon is undeniably deserving of death. Make no mistake. To cut them down would be just and proper. The act of a goodly person─and that is just what you are. I can see that.

In the end, he chose mercy. He chose love, and I was undone.

And when it hurts so much your heart feels fit to burst, let it burst. Let it burst, and fill up again with your love for them. And never, ever forget.

Not to doomsay, but just putting it out there now: Please be respectful and understanding of the devs and Squeenix team during Endwalker launch. Right now we are in a "perfect storm" situation and I'm sure they're already expecting a lot of stress during launch week. Shadowbringers was regarded as one of the best FF titles in many ways, and its success combined with Covid lockdown meant a major uptick in active playerbase. The free trial meme, WoW Shadowlands' flopping, general distaste towards Actiblizz due to recent events, and one of the biggest WoW streamers switching to FFxiv has meant that within the short span of time since the last major patch, the playerbase has grown even more. The entire Aether datacenter is now "congested". This is the first time a whole datacenter has been given this tag. Previously, this happened with Balmung due to it being the primary RP hub, and overflow went to Mateus before the Crystal DC split and cross-world travel. All crystal worlds are currently "Preferred". Most importantly: The semiconductor shortage due to Covid-borne factory and harbor shut-downs on top of poor decisions from the auto industry, on top of Japanese factory fires and the Texas storm means its incredibly difficult for Squeenix to get a hold of the hardware they need to expand servers. Taiwan is where chips for most of our gaming tech comes from (like Ps5's and GPU's) and severe drought conditions have impacted production. Squeenix has a little less than 3 months to get a hold of what they need in order to expand servers in the US. This means that even though they have the money and experience to combat something like this, and were likely monitoring their playerbase before the sudden unexpected "WoW refugee" uptick, they aren't easily able to get the resources to prepare for it, and this player surge happened so close to expansion release. When Endwalker drops, you're going to see another surge as players currently unsubscribed return as they usually do for new content. Should Endwalker release be rough: Please, PLEASE do not put any long queue times, disconnects, "Raubahn (Ultimate)" or any other issues purely related to server strain on Yoshi-P and the dev team. They are doing and will do all that they can, but the surge in players and semiconductor issues are things they can't control. I would also advise being cautious of any social media you interact with during release. This includes Facebook groups, comment sections on official FFxiv social media posts, r/ffxiv, and larger non-insular Discords. There's bound to be uproar from people who need someone to blame and get angry at: save your emotional energy.

to add to this, a general good idea for people during the crazy first week of an expac is that if MSQ is bottlenecked, just go level new jobs/try out the changes in old jobs. It’s something to do, it’s fun, and you might really like it! You can do roulettes and get XP again, do beast tribes, spend poetics - there’s a lot to do in FFXIV so as long as the issue isn’t outright DC-spam it’s worth trying out other/new things rather than slam your face into the line of Raubahn EX 2.

Heard echoing everywhere during the final days, this version was made that much more eerie by the sporadic growling/rumbling sounds of Dalamud disturbing the atmosphere. Below, with scenery:

tea-and-conspiracy

Man…that video really hits home just how desperate and hopeless Dalamud’s fall must have been.

Like…imagine your character, wherever they were back then, gazing up at the sky just knowing that the impact was coming any day now. It’s super bleak.

emet selch is such a fantastic sympathetic villain because he isn't redeemed. he does not change his ways. he does not stray from his path. his history is tragic and terrible and pitiable and that does not change that he is unforgivable, and nobody forgives him. the wol vows to remember him, to remember amuarot and what was lost, but neither the characters nor the narrative forgive him. he has done too much harm and shown too little regret for that to be possible
