Case Closed!

Another set of screenshots of Beatrix's adventures. This time she joins the Incredible Inspector himself, Hildibrand Manderville. Featuring the aforementioned inspector, his dedicated assistant Nashu, the witty Ellie, and condescending Inspector Briardien*.

[*or Brambles as Beatrix calls him.]

I love this questline. Picture dump beneath the cut as this is a long one. There will be spoilers.

Ellie: It's over… It's all… over. Inspector Briardien. You said there was something you would tell me when all was through. I imagine you have no words for me now… Briardien: Ellie… your powers of deduction are wanting. You said that you had lost everything and everyone you had to lose, did you not? As for me, I have found something--someone--with whom I intend never to part. I care not if it takes years, even decades. When you emerge from your gaol cell a free woman… I will be there. What say you?

underappreciated NPCS that I love: 

Ellie Ryse  ♥

I am kind of hoping that at some point, we go on another grand adventure to the other shards. And its the full package, we get a new group of people to adventure with who come with us through the rift, going from shard to shard, bonding with them and seeing how all walks of life from the remaining shards shape them in our journey. Have a full like ARR - EW arc and when we finally return back to the Source, the Scions have all grown older.

The Twins have grown up, Thancred, Urianger, Y’shtola, Krile, Tataru, and Estinien are all a bit more grizzled. Edmont has passed away but his estate is kept up by the ever reliable Artoirel. Emmanellain has matured more and built a Haurchefant Memorial statue in Dragonhead. We see what the Sultana, Raubahn, Elder Seedseer, Admiral, Hien, Vritra and what the First have done in our absence. See how their policies and treaties with the Beast Tribes have flourished or begin to bear fruit at least. See the world having shifting while we were away. See how far the Loporrits have advanced and adapted their technologies to aid Hydaelyn’s children. Is the Watcher still around or have they joined their brethren in the aether?

See how an older Hildibrand and Nashu are getting up to mischief. Perhaps Ellie Ryse has finally be released from her sentence and we can check in on how she and Inspector Briardien are getting along. See how Garlemald has begun rebuilding or actually transitioned over to living among Eorzeans? See how the Council enacts policies now that their prime directive is no long in their way. How has Idyllshire grown in the wake of the Goblins taking it over and the Alexander issues?

Is the Crystal Tower still sealed tight or have adventurers tried to break in only to be admonished by G’raha? Where have the Adventurers of Doma gone and done? Is Doma Castle rebuilt? Will we run into an even more aged and grizzled Gosetsu, who Hien believes will out live him at this rate? Will the Mol retain their Khan status after years past and another Nadaam has occurred? Is the Dotharl still limping along? How is Tiamat? How is Hraesvelgr? What have the remains of Nidhogg’s brood decided to do?

What about the Ala Mhigans? Has Baelsar’s Wall been torn down or is now manned by the Eorzean Alliance? Have their crops recovered, their temples reignited the way of the Monk? How has Lyse done now that the Revolution is now done in the Ghimlyte Dark? How has Ala Mhigo flourishes after years of tyranny and neglect?

So many possibilities.

ALSO

I s2g this Ishgardian Consulting Detective was flirting with WoL and I was genuinely a little disappointed when 

this scene happened and I realized that Ellie/Briardien was Squaresoft’s endgame here (of course lol i don’t know what i expected) and then he fucking volunteers WoL to be his champion in the next plotline 

Yloise, this time around: I Think I Will Cause Problems on Purpose

that lorebook bit about Briardien writing letters to Ellie once every week got me all :’)))
