#FFXIV #FF14 #Final Fantasy XIV #Final Fantasy 14 #ffxivedit #Ishgard #Coerthas #ishgardposting #texture updates equal me immediately rushing to my favourite zone like:#the update somehow makes the zone even more horrific btw bc the dead dragons actually look like frozen corpses now it's extremely harrowing #not to be dramatic but few MMO zones have ever captured the horrific emptiness that CWH has. the zone feels like a ghost's wail of grief #surrounded by death on all sides. from the eternal corpses of dragon and man stranded in the waist-deep snow and the bones draped over #the mountain to the ruins of the dusk vigil and the battlefield next to it to the ruins of everything that had to be left behind to the way #the entirety of the zone is all but completely empty and abandoned and as uncaring and distant as the cold.#idk man not to get dramatic abt it but coerthas made me unhinged
