By the way I remain firm in my belief that the only reason Alisaie comes across as less of a Rich Kid is that she lets Alphinaud say the Stupid Rich Kid Shit first (this is not hard because he talks VERY much) and then just. Acts like she knew that was Rich Kid Shit all along. I think it took Alisaie a Long While to not be mourning the loss of her huge gorgeous perfect bed but someone made fun of Alphinaud for mentioning the "insufficent conditions for rest" early on so now she can never say a thing about it.

Depending on how you understand time travel working in the FFXIV universe there is a case to be made that the WoL created Hydaelyn.

There's a lot we don't know about Venat, a lot that is open to headcanon and theorizing about what exactly she's doing offscreen in critical parts of the timeline that she don't see. But if you wanted to, I think you could make the case that by telling her the future, the Warrior of Light sets Venat on her path to becoming Hydaelyn and perhaps convinces her that there is no way to prevent the future from unfolding as described--whether that's true or not, and who can really say if it is?

If you wanted to take it a step further, you could even argue that Elidibus, the heart of Zodiark, in his final act sends the Warrior of Light back in time as an act of self-preservation--to ensure that history unfolds such that Zodiark comes into existence.

Two things are true of primals as we understand them for most of the game's story:

They are created through the faith of their devotees. Their adherents create them, not the other way around.

Many display a self-preservative nature that is inherently destructive, both in drawing aether from any and all surrounding sources and in tempering their adherents to sustain their existence.

The WoL's (and subsequently Venat's) belief that Hydaelyn must come into being creates Hydaelyn, and Hydaelyn by Her blessing shapes the WoL into a person who believes She must come into being. Elidibus's belief that Zodiark must come into being creates Zodiark, and Zodiark shapes Elidibus into the person who believes that Zodiark must come into being. These things can be philosophically true whether or not either cycle involves tempering in the literal sense we know it.

I'm not necessarily saying this is true or an intended reading, but I think it's a viable and interesting interpretation to play with.

people r saying the pranged role quests are the weakest and that’s probably true but to me they were worth absolutely everything bc the turali people are like ‘well, you’re a strong enough adventurer, maybe together we have a very slight chance of standing up to these people please help 🥺’ and then you go back to gyr abania and that one resistance person is like ‘Warrior of Light. Look at me-no no no, Look At Me. You Can Not Vaporize these petty thieves you’re going after. do you understand me. I need you at your worst grey parse. I want you to use the first button on your hotbar and NOTHING else. tell me you understand. you Can Not just fucking Vaporize these guys like you normally do.’

and I just have to believe your turali pal is like. what.

What made you decide on your Warrior of Light's current look, race, and style? Personally, I just imagined what the Warrior of Light would look like if he wasn't playing a hero but acting like a normal FFXIV player. The Namazu head from Society Quests, the Uraeus Coat from crafting, Wayfarer's Necklace from MSQ, Yokai Wrist Watch from Event, Nails from Gold Saucer along with Bunny Chief fish nets, and No. 2B Boots cause everyone else is doing it and the Aetheryte Earring from Preorder. And Moogle Weapons just cause its the only joke weapon in game that isn't like overtly annoying. Thats how Azem Blight came to be.

“I swear, if I painted “CERTAIN DEATH” on one door and “LIMITLESS WEALTH” on another, nine out of ten adventurers would go through the first, and the other bloke wouldn’t be able to choose, on account of bein’ Ul'dahn.”

I understand why people see venats “no more shall man have wings to bear him to paradise. henceforth, he shall walk.” as a #hardship breeds character #ease is bad statement but to me in the context of endwalker and in the context of Hermes’ whole deal it was more to me a “you are so fixated on heaven you think earth is a misery. I’m overturning the fast lane you are trying to pave to heaven. Everyone is taking the scenic route”

i know nothing about magic the gathering but im going insane over the text of the new emet-selch/hades cards

he transforms when there are 14 or more cards in the graveyard… he brings back cards from the graveyard but permanently destroys anything NEW that would have otherwise gone into it in exchange, wrecking the future to try to drag the past forward, in the end just putting it all further out of reach… absolutely incredible translation of a character into a card game mechanic 10/10 im gnawing at my furniture again

Does your WoL/OC have a favorite color? And do they wear lots of it whenever possible or do they like wearing a different color?
