me projecting my character issues on stormblood by giving eyrie issues
#i just….I wish lyse wasn’t shoved so heavily into her box of authenticity and optimism#because after a while she becomes very flat#she can only go up so far before she starts turning into an NPC with only one thing to say#i wanted more acknowledgement of the horrors of war. the stumble and the fall#honestly give me more Fordola#she was so good. she was so wonderful#it’s a case where the quote unquote villains of the story were more interesting than the main characters#but. eyrie has issues. they take issue with Lyse’s optimism#and think she isn’t looking at the consequences#she doesn’t see how much war is going to hurt. what freedom is going to cost#it’s like she’s looking up towards the brighter future while eyrie is sitting in the muck and gross#of the cost of war. the pain and hardship#maybe they’re being unkind because their own past and lack of acknowledging the cost of war is in the back of their head#the worst part is that they don’t tell Lyse out of a sense of caring about the scars she’ll have from war#they tell her because she is an adult. she is making this choice and she is going to have to live with the consequences#alphinaud got off less with them telling him he fucked up#bc he knows he messed up. but also he’s a Child#lyse is a full grown adult and as much as she can say she understands the cost#to eyrie they don’t see it#narratively outside of characters I struggle to see how she gets the costs#owen plays ffxiv
