Some Riskbreakers did Titania EX tonight, on account of it being midsummer today.

As soon as I started tanking Puck, Thistle hopped up into my lap.

And she stayed there until she made me fail the button-mash on Shinryu EX.

AU where the Riskbreakers are much more violent and/or "the ends justify the means" - Izarra or Orella!

Let’s play a game. Send me a potential AU and I’ll tell you five fun facts that would happen in a story.

oooh. a more militant ashelia riot, i presume? runs the ship tight, no room for anyone not entirely devoted to the cause?

orella probably receives a warmer welcome after busting herself out of ul'dahn gaol. welcome aboard, riskbreaker, you're one of us for true!

she probably wouldn't say (unless specifically pressed...) but ashelia's reign reminds her a lot of theodoric. before he turned entirely loopyloo. there's no chance for change, no different course to take - only blood and bloodshed, as is their birthright. and orella, well, in for a penny, in for a pound... resigns herself entirely to this having always been her fate.

ala mhigo liberated isn't the homecoming she thought it would be. even if ingvald made it to the riskbreakers as well (and boy, would he even want to? orella's a grounding force, but the groups she shacks up with sure are, ummmm...) she'd be having doubts of her own at some point or another. ala mhigo back in the hands of ala mhigans, but ala mhigans like /her?/ she already made herself unwelcome in her home and now she has the balls to come back and do it all over again? no, she can't do that. orella flees in the dead of night. she's gotten good at doing that.

she wants to put as much distance between herself and all this everything as she can, but she still wants to help, still wants to make up for everything she's done... she ends up in gangos with the bozjan liberation. (as fun as it would be to shove her bodily back into ivalice. ingvald and gabranth spiderman pointing meme dot jpg) it's not her home, not her business, but she carves out a little place of it for herself. without phantom pains hanging over her head, her arm still works - and she trades in the sword and shield for a gunblade instead of a greatsword. she's surprisingly comfortable with it.

i'm not sure where her story would end, admittedly - but even if it's premature, it's still on the battlefield, for a better cause than either of the ones she devoted herself to before. a fight worth fighting! also, the concept of orella finding a whole new nemesis in lyon rem helsos is kind of hilarious, actually. two old grumpy bitches occasionally 1v1ing each other. beautiful.

I sat bolt upright out of a sound sleep because I could not remember if Basch FFXII had a pearl bindi like Garleans from FFXIV.

(He does not, BTW.)

I was also convinced that Ashley Riot from Vagrant Story was a Gunbreaker.

(According to wikipedia, he was actually a Riskbreaker, BTW.)

Getting spoiled on upcoming location names really messed with me it seems :/

Today's ffxiiposting is brought to you by REDDAS' BEAUTIFUL FACE. LOOK AT HIM, HE'S SO BEAUTIFUL. I LOVE HIM SO MUCH!!

I love his fancy office as well, ahhhh. And you guys. YOU GUYS. His airship is a Bhujerban model you know. It's Bhujerban. Maybe he got it as a gift from Halim >:3 yeah yeah I'm on copium, it's totally a viable theory JUST YOU WAIT AND SEE

Anyway, he fucks me up. Nabradia, not his home but a memory burned forever in his heart 😭😭😭 baby...... Baby boy...... Beautiful pink pants man....

There were some fun little bits before we hared off for Ridorana, like Reddas being worried for his people who were exploring out there in boats. Despite the town's divide in opinion over him, he really does care for them. But it also makes me worry for things after the events of the Pharos too. What's gonna happen to Balfonheim when he doesn't return? Will it go back to normal? I imagine Larsa would leave them in peace at least, so they wouldn't have to pay off the Empire any more anyway. But still. OUGH

And then I got up to Hashmal, got boned by Hashmal, and realised the true depth of my lack of shit lmao. I don't even have Dispel!! And no Cleanse, and I ran out of phoenix downs again too flckck so I shlepped it back out of the Pharos and went to pick up some stuff. Namely, 99 phoenix downs, a bubble belt, Cleanse and Dispel, Decoy, a bunch of teleport stones, and now I also have a loaaad of cash as well so I can upgrade my gear for the slog back up the fucking Pharos lmao. But! I'm almost at the (story, anyway) endgame, so I shouldn't be surprised at things getting harder. I was lv41-42 up there as well, so not that great levelled! Things were frequently beating me up real hard on the way up too, so going out and regrouping is a good idea. I was considering getting Bubble spell as well, but I'm not doing 46 hunts to make Riskbreaker rank, or however many it would need! Bugger that for a lark, as much as I love hunts!

Anyway, I'm mad that I didn't get to see my man Cid again tonight like I thought I would, but well! Can't be helped

[piercedtheveil]

something i don’t speak of often on social media (this is a lie) is my bataar obsession. silly little swedish men are my entire personality and if you like bataar we are automatically friends emphasis on if you prefer the rebirth version of riskbreaker

[bubblyernie]

Riskbreaker's Gambit!! Excited to share this, it's one of the coolest projects I've worked on :3

I had the opportunity to do the cover (above!) and character+monster art for an upcoming SRPG game, which you can find out more about here! Easily a job I can say was my dream gig! Go check out the art and the mechanics :D
