ODE TO FINAL FANTASY XIV

[sasseebeee]

i dunno dude i'll ask again in around 12000 years and you tell me what you think

Me at 4am: it really should be sleep time now

My brain: I think it creates a really fascinating dynamic in Emet-Selch’s tragedy that on the surface he is a man who spent near enough his whole (undoubtedly very long) life in the company of at least one person he loved more than anything, and in the end he was left without them. But in this instance, the people he lost aren’t actually gone. He’s a man grieving souls that did not die, from a culture where death - to most - is seen as the ultimate goal. And all the Unsundered share that burden of course - they all knew people who gave themselves to Zodiark, who wait in stasis on the moon, and their allies are their Sundered colleagues, but Emet-Selch can see their souls most keenly, and he did not lose himself as greatly as them, so for him the reminders are constant. Azem and Hythlodaeus didn’t get to die, he has physical proof of that, but they’re certainly not alive either. And the same can be said of everyone else he knew too; he sees his loved ones, friends, family, colleagues, but they do not see him. The keeper of the Underworld, surrounded by Souls he failed to guide.

The Allag was so influental that you can't take two steps without stumbling into something related to it. Emet made it. The Garlean Empire? Emet. Aetherytes? Emet. Even the catboy you're railing, NO EMET DIDN'T MAKE HIM BUT you get what I'm trying to express.

pain, pain, go away

"You must needs be more careful, what will you do when I am not here to heal you?" "Don't be silly, Hades. We'll always be together!"

two other shots below from when i was trying to figure out the angle

[chryza]

Me explaining that Emet-Selch often uses the rhetoric of fascists and eugenicists to describe the ancients and he speaks to the scions with a bad faith mentality and his entire character arc is about being unable to let go of the past and I need you all to understand that these things are not coincidence and this is the story explicitly trying to tell you that if you are not careful your nostalgia will become worship of the past which will in turn become horrific fanaticism

[roegadynroost]

The way they did this scene. The angles, the lines, Hades, who we do not know is Hades yet, opens the fucking gates to hell.

Just ♥
