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?

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.

Did a solo run of Saint Mocianne's Arboretum to get some pants for the Fashion Report (100 pts!), and noticed how beautiful it is here, so got a nice screenshot.

Seeking the peace of reason Sheep in a peaceless season Reason to keep believing Waken the beast who's sleeping

Let go this destiny, you're caught in a trance Ever marking time inside a dream, no sign of advance, You see, the mortal coil we serve is taut like a spring Step back! Two-step, two-step, two-step, one two three

Our world's a fantasy, no more than a test Ever feeding off the fallacy creating this mess Deep down inside this bleak machine with all of the rest Break free! Two-phase, two-phase electricity

Time turning up the volume Time turning on us always No time enough tomorrow For turning back to where we began

Twenty-two sectors tested Fragments in one direction Celestial noise detected Delirium unsuspected

Static tuned in to reason Time in the aether deepens Transmissions blink uncompleted Seven two three two three...<send>

Arrested destiny, alone in a trance No escaping from this waking dream, no hope for advance, You see, the mortal coil we serve is naught but a spring Unwind! Too slow, too quick, too much to believe

Your world's a fantasy, you've failed the test Ever forging all new fallacies creating more mess Directly through this bleak machine, with all of the rest DC! Dying, dying, electricity

Falling back right into the system of Falling back on all that's erased When fighting back right out of this system Means falling back right into this space

Yes, falling back right in with the system Who'll see you falling back to the end When falling back is better than simply Falling back into pieces again

Silent steel breathing, breathing Memory writing, reading Error! Repeat deleting Radicals flowing free and

Energy slowly seeping Suspending all disbelief in Synergy with our being Synapses fire in three, then...

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?

one of my favourite things to do in roulette is to reveal the unhinged lore of dusk vigil
