Why The Lochs is the best final expansion zone in FFXIV

Whoa whoa whoa put the pitchforks down! Hear me out first! First of all let me explain myself: I'm old. And with age comes shitty eyesight when it comes to the dark. And for some reason FFXIV loooooves its dark areas. Let's go over the final zone for each expansion:

Heavensward: Azys La

I don't really have to explain this one. Azys La looks like the time my cat chewed up the Christmas tree and puked it up.

Shadowbringers: The Tempest

This one would be fine and the winner of Best Endzone if it wasn't green like... everywhere. Yeah I get it, it's sea themed. But not only is it kind of dark, it's all the same color.

Amaurot does make this a tough choice but it's still perpetual nighttime there. It's beautiful, but it's also claustrophobic. That's probably the point, what with it being under the sea and all that. I wish it had a fake sun or something like Labyrinthos did.

Endwalker: Ultima Thule

I both love and hate this zone at the same time. I love the skybox. I loved the story here. But holy hell I can't see where I'm going. I do a lot of hunt trains. I know all the mechanics. I still have no fucking clue what Arch Eta and Fan Ail look like. Are they dragons? People keep howling, are they wolves? No clue! All I can detect is an amorphous black blob that's slightly darker than the dark ground and dark sky. And the thing is, it's totally possible to make things visible in a non sunny environment. I can see fine on Mare Lamentorum because the ground is white. Why couldn't Thancred have imagined an environment where we could you know... see?

Stormblood: The Lochs

Look I know it's boring. It's brown. And just... sand everywhere. But I can fucking SEE. I can see the enemies. I can see where I'm going. I don't get stuck on the rocks because I can see them. Game says hey check out this cave over there? Great, because I can see the fucking cave entrance, rather than spend 20 minutes looking for a dark hole in a dark mountain. It actually has a day/night cycle! Hey look, the sun! It works here! Wow, griffin statues in the distance! I know they are griffins because I can see them!

I really really hope Dawntrail's final zone is in an open air area with a sky and a sun that works. Make the ground literally any other color than grey or black. If they must do a cave, put some LED lights in it for us old folks.

They didn't waste a second...

Fun fact: Samus' zero suit is a bodysuit in more recent games instead of the tank-top she wore in older games because at this point, she's been spliced with so many species' DNA you really don't want to see what the rest of her skin looks like.

I hear California wants to drop gender markers from photo IDs but due to federal laws they have to have something, so their brilliant idea is that they'll still have the "Gender: " field but you can put any letter there.

So if you want M/F for the legacy genders, you can, but you can also do X for non-binary, or any other (latin) letter.

like "Gender: K" or "Gender: Q" or "Gender: V"

The Batkids infect each other with a tendency to think of or hum a really goofy song when on patrol and ninety percent sure they're gonna see something out of their worst nightmares.

Jason, turning to Steph: "Are you... are you seriously fucking humming Stayin' Alive right now?"

Steph: "Bitch please I've been hearing you hum macarena."

Jason: "My thing works, your thing is tempting fate."

Steph: "Not if we need to do CPR."

Jason, groaning: "There you go again, tempting the fucking universe--"

Steph: "Being around you already doomed me. Did you see that?"

Jason, turning around fast, gun drawn: "See what? Oh shit--" *fires off shots while Steph throws a few Batarangs* "--goddamn it, we missed--"

*something fast moves behind them in the dark*

Steph and Jason: *humming Stayin' Alive*

But it was Katara that he chose to invite.

But Azula knew to aim at Katara.

But it was Katara who was with him in season finales.

"Zuko would take a lightning for anyone–"

But he needed to choose Katara over Azula.

But Shu needed to survive in this life.

But the writers deliberately chose Katara.

Lily is the new aroace icon. That's all.

something something Hozier saying "If I wanted to make a fucking pop song, I would." years ago, Too Sweet becoming his first #1, and then he hurriedly releases Nobody's Soldier (anti war-profiteering song) as a palette cleanser
