ok i think the best part of the drk quests overall though is the point whenever you open up your journal midway through and abruptly realize that your wol has started taking notes in a completely different voice

#the nemesis speaks #swift plays ff14 #tone shift jumpscare!!#uh. drk questline spoilers in the tags #but like for the uninitiated: GENERALLY the quest log entries are fairly dry ''went here did this. current task: do this too''#the assumption being these are notes being kept either physically or just in the wol's head abt stuff they're doing #BUT THE DRK QUESTS are written down in an ENTIRELY different tone. one that gets more and more distinct as they progress #overwhelmingly fixated on your emotional responses to and opinions of the goings-on #(''where are those godsdamned peistes...?'' is NOT a line you would get in ANY other context)#and frequently the summary of a battle is ''you blacked out and then came to exhausted and covered in blood. good job.''#until the final quests where the journal has suddenly switched to using first person plural and addresses You Personally in second person #(''fray knows what is best for us. we will do as she asks.'' / ''you killed them. well done. can we go now?'')#the best one tho is when your nominal objective is ''go to whitebrim to talk about how fucking weird you've been acting lately''#but if you open the quest log what's actually been written down as your task is ''go to whitebrim and kill them all.''#it's really good is the thing
