"Why isn't Wuk Lamat forced to question/reconsider her beliefs?!?"

The beliefs: We should learn about & appreciate different cultures, and create a society that values their happiness and peace. Also, facism & imperialism are bad.

FINAL FANTASY XIV: DAWNTRAIL

#FFXIV #WOLpromptAday

November 3, 2024

Almost everyone has a WOL ship. But have you or someone you know ever shipped with Meteor Survivor himself, even as an AU? How do you feel this would be different from a relationship with another NPC? What would it be like being the Significant Other of Meteor instead of your WOL?

I can't stop thinking about how meteor looks in this trailer omg depression and trauma of the past few years gave him a glow up?!?!

One of the best things about Final Fantasy as a series is the influence of our world within the stories. Everything from contemporary pop culture references (looking at you FFXIV) to the writings of Shakespeare and other such influences.

One of the most recurring quotes is this one from Hamlet, it’s in every single one of the FF games somehow. Pushing the idea that yes, we are as the warrior of light are a hero to some but to others we are the enemy. We are evil and we must be destroyed.

It reminds you that true good and evil are all about perspectives. What one does that makes us hurt or angry may not make others feel the same; they may celebrate it.

Take XIV (14) for example, every expansion up until Endwalker has told us that the war with Garlemald is because they are evil. When we finally get there we see how evil WE are in their eyes.

We hear from soldiers who survived the fall of Dalamud, people who lost friends in the Praetoriam. Former soldiers who were stationed in Doma. To them we are evil, we are the worlds enemy. (I’m not going to spoil it any more than that, you’ll have to find the NPCs on your own.)

Go one expansion back in Shadowbringers and we go from being “the Warrior of light” to being referred to as “the warrior of darkness”. Light is suddenly the enemy and darkness is the salvation. Complete 180 from how we’re usually depicted in the series.

It really drives home the idea that no matter who you are and what good you think you’re doing, someone sees you as the enemy. It’s also vice versa. For as many people who see you as the enemy, there are people who see you as a hero.

It’s all about perspective.

Was supposed to have a job interview a few days ago, but it got cancelled, due to the company not being able to create the position I applied for. So, what better way to take out my frustrations by finally getting back into Final Fantasy XIV for the Dawntrail expansion.

Oh god, there's so much I need to relearn. So much patch content to catch up on.

So my thoughts on the Dawntrail keynote:

Going feral over Solution Nine, they really went heavy on the cyberpunk and I'm here for it. Slightly concerned that they're going to be split too much between themes and fronts and it might end up like Stormblood 2.0, which I like Stormblood but I get the issues people have with it.

I called Pictomancer and it looks really cool I'm happy with it, I just think it would be better on Alphinaud since he was kinda the established Scion Artist, but Krile deserves the chance to shine and Alphinaud's arc into sage was fitting well enough so...

Do kinda wish we were just doing South Tural, not the entire new world, but I guess that means Meracydia sooner sooooo hurray!

Skipping the Stormblood MSQ ultimate and going right to the Shadowbringers Raid ultimate is an interesting move, I hope Stormblood doesn't get skipped forever. Also still holding onto hope that we'll one day get Trial Series ultimates, but that seems unlikely. I've also never cleared an ultimate or attempted any outside UWU so I don't really have the grounds to be talking about ultimates but the sudden inconsistency has me curious.

Character model graphics previews looked pretty good except some of the darker skinned example characters seems kinda shiny? like they'd been doused in baby oil.

Femroths looked really strange at first but I think the design is growing on me, have to wait and see how they look in game I guess? (Remind me of Khajiit from Elder Scrolls.)

So a decent couple of people were missing from the Key art shown at the end of the Keynote, like G'raha, Y'shtola, Estinien, and the Twins. My personal theory is that they're going to be on the other side of the Scion split, which is confusing because I can see Alisaie and Estinien siding opposite the WoL out of competitive spirit, Y'shtola doing it for fun, but Alphinaud and G'raha opposing us is breaking my heart and now I'm really curious about how the Scion split is going to be handled.

Theowyn is my Warrior of Light in FFXIV. She is a Draconic Water spirit blessed by Hydaelyn. Created when the plantet itself knew it was in danger to protect itself. It is said that her singing voice is that of a sirens and her dance is as fluid as water. She is very protective of any she cares for and is a light in the darkness to any who need her.

What kind of eater is your WOL? Picky? Hearty? Sin? Are they three meals a day or snack along the way? Do they live off caffeine and sugar or something more natural and balanced? What is their favorite indulgence?
