#dawntrail 7.1 spoilers

[pensola]

Gotta love Dawntrail's (and honestly, at times XIV since ShB and beyond) continuing trend that for every silent female miqo'te in the background, they give us three male miqo'te with dialogue.

Either they are truly commited to retconning the miqo'te's gender ratio lore and hope nobody comments on it so they don't have to achknowledge it like they admitted they are too incompetent to make natural curls as hairstyles, or there is something about the Hhetsarro (and Mystels, to be honest) that make them have equal amounts or more male miqo'te than female.

dawntrail is so funny like imagine you have no idea of the concept of death and then your president dies. these people have no idea how to dress for a funeral theyre just showing up in their standard rave gear and falling to their knees

a day later than I'd hoped, but the Dawntrail 7.0 script is complete!

and it's the first section of the MSQ to be complete with not only optional dialogue, but also WoL gender differences. \o/

Potentially breaking news, as I haven't seen anyone posting about it yet, but 7.1 just very casually dropped confirmation of another Azem shard on whichever reflection the original Vana'diel is. I just went through the raid for the first time as Ardwin with a few FC friends, and there were a couple times during the quest that Prishe made vague references to a "she" that were... to say the least... extremely suspicious.

So in voice chat I was like "...y'all with masc characters. quick question. did you get different pronouns for this bit."

THEY DID INDEED.

Echoes of Vana'diel

Jeuno: The First Walk

[pensola]

Well, well, well. On tumblr, I predicted Koana's future development, and I was somewhat right on some accounts, so that's fun.

I might have been wrong that the Mehwahhetsoan chieftain and his son were blood related to Koana, but I knew they would somehow be involved with Koana learning to appreciate his cultural origins, and to learn that he wasn't REALLY abandoned heartlessly.

Also, I do find it interesting how Koana realizes how he has resented his birth parents for a misunderstanding, only to realize later that it was for naught. Koana was able to recognize the senseless grudge he held and how that caused him undue trauma and need to overcompensate to the one who took him in.

Then you have Zoraal Ja, who was unable to realize the senseless grudges he held toward his father and adoptive siblings due to bad communication and a bad mixture of flaws, who felt like he had been abandoned and given nothing in life, whereas Wuk Lamat felt like he had been given something that could never be given to the others. How interesting.

I am very curious about Zoraal Ja's strong reaction to learning he has a son. That seemed something way more than just anger at feeling neglected or abandoned by his birth father, especially since Wuk Lamat said in optional dialogue in 7.1 that Zoraal Ja used to be a good brother to her in the past. What changed, what caused him such a strong reaction?

And I still want to know who the heck is HIS mother, because for all the talk about him being a miracle because his father was supposed to be infertile, they sure don't speak about his mother, huh? Could that be why? Did he witness Gulool Ja Ja initially reject Zoraal Ja so vehemetly?

I wonder if any other races get unique lines like Miqo and Au Ra do O: Seems that he just calls most people adventurous [local word for the race], but I thought the bit about au ra horns was very cute
