It is said if you find a shooting star, your wish will be granted.

Admittedly, it was a shower of such stars that got her into this mess.

finished DT misc thoughts undercut

overall i had a lot of fun!

gorgeous environments, gorgeous music, engaging fights

i loved wuk lamat and koana, and ERENVILLE!! it was great to get to know him more!!

the story... was fine. like i said i had fun! but i think it really struggled with what it wanted to do. did it want to be smaller scale and character focused? or high stakes plot driven? in the end it tried to be both and... well.

the two halves feel a bit too disparate, and it suffers for it

it's frustrating, bc i can see what they were trying to do and it was definitely possible but it just... fell a little short, and i dont think it quite stuck it's landing

i dont think having lower stakes (if the fate of a nation is rly "low" stakes) is a bad thing and.. in fact would have probably been a good thing overall. there needs to be some sort of come down after endwalker. it cant always be world ending catastrophes. it shoudlnt always be world ending catastrophes!

we thought thats what was happening post ENW, but then sike! voidsent trying to invade and destroy the world! now we thought thats what was happening here, but SIKE! robot trying to invade and destory the world!

another big weakness was our major antagonists.

zoraal ja's motivations and drive were too obscured making him feel pretty flat and distant, despite the fact that he's one of our major protag's brothers! wuk lamat has known him her whole life and yet he might as well be a stranger from how it feels. i know she says he was always pretty distant, but there should be more between them even then

and sphene. i dont think we really had enough time with her for her turn to have as much of an impact as if could have, which sucks. but even then i feel like her motivation was pretty watered down in comparison to other antagonists in the series. which wouldnt have been too bad if zoraal ja was not also. like that.

i rly thought krile was going to be a bit more of an active participant in this expac than she got to be. rip krile.

i miss the scions. thats not relevant to any criticism.

also "square enix give half a thought to mothers challenge" failed x3

So, I had cursed predictions. Here’s how they turned out:

G’raha only there to vibe: Mostly wrong. He doesn’t show up for the first 2/3rds, but given the big twist, he is absolutely crucial in the back third, as a foil for his sister Krile and Sphene. His knowledge of the inner workings of the shards is second to none, so of course he’s there.

Krile isn’t as important as they make out: I give myself the win here, but it’s close. She is important… as a mcguffin. It’s the fact the key was snuggled across shards via her swaddling that makes her important. She doesn’t even have much angst about the reveal, just “oh, my bro and I have another thing in common it seems. I’m gonna call him over in case this news catches up to us in the next three months.” That said, she is given some more depth, just nowhere near what is promised.

Erenville is a lost prince and will win: Wrong. very wrong. He really is just a childhood friend. Maybe maybe almost a brother to Wuk but there’s no true ties there. He has more ties to Krile than Lamat’yi

Estinien is just here to vibe: True. He just shows up a couple times and is off on his own adventure that may or may not be important later. But really he’s just exploring on his own.

Koana and Wuk’s teams unite: literally true but intentions behind it are false.

Ascians: False as far as we know. Maybe they helped make the memory extraction process, but it seems that it was at most a borderline flood situation that they almost lost the world.

Allagans: Explicitly false.

Evil Koana: false. Sadly he would make more sense as a warmonger. His focus on technology and logistics would make him a better threat than Zoraal Ja pre-Alexandria. I never worried about his goals cuz he had no plans on how to accomplish the logistics other than offering Koana a place that he immediately refused.

Shitty accents: nope. They’re all “natural” ones. Might have liked more indigenous-blooded vas, but I’ll take what they did.

James Day’s audition: Correct! So correct. He is the only man I will accept as an English Steiner because he plays Otis perfectly, an earnest if sometimes misguided Knight who loves his people and his queen.
