❝Though the ways of the Viper can be traced to Tural, there is another variant of these soul crystals having been linked to Ivalice, more than likely down to the kingdom's vast trade among other regions within Etheirys, giving them access to the various eclectic ways of the star's many inhabitants.
Sharing the same title (however there has been some unveiled documentation of them being called Sword Saints within Dalmasca), these men and women were known for tackling the various beasts birthed from the abuse of audacite by the hands of the Sect of Germonique, striking them down before destruction could befall the kingdom.
Acquisition of a genuine Ivalician Viper soul crystal has become rare in the years following the kingdom's decent into legend, but some have been found in position of those within the Dalmascan Resistance with old traditions being brought forth in the wake of Rabanastre's fall, as well as wayward souls travelling across the star seeking refuge in Tural, their ancient Ivalician ancestries being channeled by the soul crystal's contained knowledge.❞

So, who are our previous incarnations? We got Tenzen as all but confirmed ... by 4 auspices and us wielding his legendary blade said to incinerate everyone else.
We have the theory of Haldrath, maybe that Padjal guy whose soulstone we have?
And my personal theory of Bardam of course.
Trying to think back through all the various history lessons we've had... We get so much random history from Eorzea but we meet so many of the characters from said history in actual form because of Shenanigans... XD
I don't think we have anyone from the War of the Magi who stands out, I think because a ton of lore was lost, and our interactions with things like Dun Scaith didn't give us much lore that was easy to jump on, or else whole civilisations were turned into immortal tonberries so we can't have been a Nymian who was present at the time. So I like to think that like Bardam, for lack of any actual lore except that she was There and has a statue, Kiribu of PotD buff fame, was one :D Thanks, past!me, for getting me through Floor 100 o7

My next set of icons is up on my kofi and features the Healer and Magic DPS jobstones from FFXIV.
This is the first time I've plugged my kofi here I believe? But the way my icon packs work is members of any tier can download them sized for twitch, discord, and an XL size. Use em however you like, they're free. And you can download any of my past icon/emote sets as well. So essentially a couple bucks gets you tooons of goodies.

Unlimited Clutter Works!
(It split into three parts, got too wordy)
It took me this long to realise that Fangydengue is standing behind Zenos.
The scene was totally asking for an Unlimited Blade Works.
Its just interesting that the weapons featured are for Gladiator /Paladin, Samurai, Lancer / Dragoon, Marauder / Warrior and the one suspicious looking Bluespirit Gunblade. Unless that is Bluespirit Blade.
(edit - The blue crystal weapons is Bluespirit series not Exarchic. My bad)
I mean sure you can beat someone to death with a scepter or a rod or globe, or a heavy enough Grimoire, but the magic based skills that come with. He can't access them. He can't tap the WoL's full skill range, only the physical side, unless maybe Samurai and Reaper but he's new to reaping at the moment.
No rabid Carbuncle, no attack Fairy. Jobstones? Can he even use jobstones?
I see he can use his reaper skills but he has not touch on her Bard or Gunbreaker skills. Does he not have the ability/access to use them in such short time?
I'm reminded of the one comic(might be from Surfacage or Cor) where he poked his nose into WoL mental space only to have Ardbert or Fray slam shut the door on him. Oh wait its on Saku's twitter
My POV on that was he poked his head into a window into WoL's head space. Maybe touch enough of her aether. But Ardbert and Fray carrying Tiny Midgardsomr were inching away out of sight behind said window as Zenos looks around. They are the ones preventing easy access to her core skills. He only gets what comes with the body
*edit - More to do with his inability to effectively use aether?
Bonus points if he can't touch her Bard skills(the songs and anything needing the right emotions) for he does not understand emotions and Gunbreaker's theme to protect is a foreign heathen Hrothgar concept to him. That there be jobs that totally not suit him. Conjurer / White Mage, Dancer. Dark Knight(?).
Great Swords. Dark Knight too emotionally challenged for him? Is this why he prefer Samurai? Blade be the extension of oneself. Axes(hah ha admit it, you is a beast too) and probably lances(he's his own dragon).
No Affinity, no bows, chakrams, wands, rods, books, Globes and cards (never got into Ishgard), Nouliths(or Sharlayan) . Does it boils down to compatibly, even for him. What about Monk then? No challenging the Sabin, Prince of Punch. Afraid he'll suplex you?
On this point, he's strong and fast enough to cause a lot damage, some skills are magitek enhanced damage.
So... no dancing Zenos...
Dammed you Zenos. Don't you dare steal this song. This is not your song. This is not related to you both. Don't you dare touch my 80s music!

in a 14 version of cecil going from drk-to-pld, he is instructed by the holy see to take a young mother to the outskirts of coerthas and kill her for heretical activity. he does not know she has a child until she unveils herself from the evergreen trees, screaming in a way that gave him night terrors for decades after.
he goes to throw his drk job stone in witchdrop. he was no longer interested in doing ishgard's bidding; what had once been a city-state he had believed in had turned into fearmongering and resentment.
but as soon as the jobstone begins to fall, so does he: and when he awakens at the bottom of the cavern, the sun long gone and darkness surrounding him, he can scarcely put into words what he had experienced. his drk jobstone is gone. his claymore has rendered itself into soot, like it had become desynthesized, and in it's place is a jobstone and sword like nothing he had ever seen.
