Shut the fuck up listen to the full main theme of the FFXIV Shadowbringers expansion

"In following their path walked and history written, I am made keenly aware of one truth. Though the curtains may fall again and again, so long as others take the stage, ever shall there be more tales to tell."

Has anyone done this yet?

I love me some G'raha (and G'raha x WoL ships, passionately in fact, one of my favorite fics is a 90k G'rahawol fic). But everyone is sleeping on Y'shtola.

I mean think about it, if your WoL had interest in her or there was any mutual connection prior to the First. Think about the detail of her being separated from the WoL for those three years and establishing herself with the Night's Blessed as Matoya. It's even more heartwrenching to consider how brief a span of time it is for the WoL. If they've developed feelings for her and then witness her with Runar, imagine the tension. The jealousy. The heartbreaking possibility of Y'shtola feeling for Runar and not reciprocating the WoL's feelings. Or the possibility of her revealing she loves them both.

Couple all those with the little hints of spicy dialogue (taking you over her knee, sending you to bed without supper), and the tension is even more wild. Maybe she just means it in good fun, but the WoL is over in the corner sweating, seeing her next interact with Runar and thinking, "What are we? What's going on?"

Pose 3D, please!

When you and your enemy agree it's only a physical thing but also there are mandatory snuggle sessions after. Oops there's feelings.

(This pose got requested twice but never fear, I'll be doing it twice! So watch out for that.)

Point #1: The first thing we learn about Emet-Selch, even before we learn that Solus zos Galvus is Emet-Selch, is that Solus loved theatre.

Point #2: Emet-Selch plays the villain with mannerisms so over-the-top you'd think he's about to burst into a disney villain-style song and dance number at almost any moment.

Point #3: He's self-aware enough to recognize that he is a villain in your story but a hero to his own people, and that whoever wins the battle will write history to declare the loser the villain.

Point #4: The Tempest, the zone where Amaurot is located, is named for the Shakespeare play of the same name, with other landmarks named after characters from the play. The BGM "Full Fathom Five" is also named for an iconic line.

Point #5: Amaurot feels so empty because it is, in essence, a set for a stage play. After the play is preformed it has no purpose.

Back to Point #1: Emet-Selch really loved theatre.

My artwork for the FFXIV EU Fanfest Art Contest, based on the intro to Shadowbringers, one of the most memorable scenes in the whole game for me. I'm so happy to be chosen as a finalist!

I spent a very long time on the details of this piece, including various flora and fauna from around Lakeland. I remember looking up through the trees from the first place you wake up, seeing vines hanging down and birds flying overhead. The place is so strange and deeply affected by the everlasting light, and yet still full of life that has survived in spite of these conditions... And then, there is the Crystal Tower rising above the hills in the distance, a familiar beacon standing out against the unsettling sky.

For me this moment represents so much of what I adore about the experience of this game and it's one I'll never forget.
