[shell merlin]

[rare sinew]

Nier or dwarves

Or mecha

[gaunt star]

i probably missed some shit chain quest

[heady shadow]

mecha not till 5.35

[rare sinew]

Is mecha solo?

[slender merlin]

I'm getting the dwarf stuff unlocked, need that sweet crafter exp

[gaunt star]

no dwarves

[stuck yarrow]

Trying to figure out the lyrics to the trial theme atm

Mecha is solo yes

[thorny stirrup]

Saving Nier for tomorrow, I don't want to spend all night doing that lol

[rare sinew]

Im doin nier later today

SURELY 1 day is enough for JP server to do flawless run

[shell merlin]

so what is the neir

anyways

is it gonna be mandatory

[rare sinew]

Thicc thighs

[heady shadow]

no

it's a optional 24man

[gaunt star]

just 24man

[shell merlin]

ah ok

[fervent ridge]

Anyone have nier glamour links?

[gaunt star]

to cure your boredom in days to come

[shell merlin]

cause atm im doing the shadowbringer relic weapon

or preparing

[stuck yarrow]

I’ve done it once so far and missed like half of it because I got sent in as a replacement and also got DCed at one point lmao

[neat edge]

that pic's missing sweat boii

[stuck yarrow]

I kinda wanna just run into Seat of Sacrifice EX while everyone’s still confused and see what happens

[unreal wadi]

Was interesting to note that

[shell merlin]

best thing of patch day everything duty wise and fights are new mechs for people

[unreal wadi]

Sapphire Weapon was still incomplete

[wintry onyx]

Hey Guys, You know what's So Funny About the Neir Raid? If the licence for the Crossover ever Expires like it did for GARO, that's gonna be a fucking mess to deal with especially with how it ties into the Dwarven Beast Tribe

[gaunt star]

SoS is pog

[shell merlin]

@wintry onyx really?

oof

[unreal wadi]

& the only way to be completed was immediately activating oversoul

[unique verge]

Why would the license expire

[shell merlin]

OH WAIT IS THAT WHY WE LOST GARO

I WANTED THE GARO ARMOR

[stuck yarrow]

My first run through we wiped like 4 times it was great lmao

[neat edge]

nier is not a crossover, its lore now

[unique verge]

SE owns both properties.

[slender merlin]

SE publish Nier though so they own the rights?

[gaunt star]

Nier is owned by SE it wont run out

[stuck yarrow]

Can’t wait to see the chaos that is EX

[wintry onyx]

Oh That's Good then

[forest magnet]

Eh that doensn't mean that

look at the FFXV event

[gaunt star]

u get divebomb in normal, so... akhmorn in EX?

[forest magnet]

it hasn't been rerun and not on store

[gaunt star]

anyone here that played Automata wanna discuss about the nier raid? cuz im frustrated wanting to talk about how huge this lore reveal is

[stuck yarrow]

Now I just need to find people to run it with me😔

[glacial turret]

What lore reveal

[unique verge]

They've already confirmd the FFXV event will come back someday

So uh

[thorny stirrup]

Mannnn I almost died during that QTE in that trial. Took me by surprise and I had to click like a mad man just to keep that bar up lol

[unique verge]

You're wrong

[glacial turret]

So is ffxiv raid canon to nier

[whole shell]

^

[unreal wadi]

@thorny stirrup not alone there

[gaunt star]

im pretty sure YT announced it to be canon tie in

[stuck yarrow]

A limited time event is not the same thing as the full on raid series for 5.0 lmao

[slender merlin]

Yoko Taro did both so I'd assume so

[unreal wadi]

that active time was tough

[gaunt star]

cuz it takes place directly after Automata

[whole shell]

might be its own separate universe

since Yoko Taro is big on that

[wintry onyx]

If that's the case though... WHY THE FUCK ISN'T ANY OF THE CROSSOVERS LIKE XIII AND XV NOT AN ACTIVE THING LIKE NEIR XD

[thorny stirrup]

I understand the other ones were super easy but god that bar was zooming even with clicking a ton lol

[unreal wadi]

YEAH HAHA

[forest magnet]

XIII you can buy teh stuff on the store

XV idk when they're doing a rerun

[unreal wadi]

@thorny stirrup also no one must fail it

otherwise its a wipe

[forest magnet]

the reran yokai and ffxi

[neat edge]

they've already monetized it

[thorny stirrup]

oh are you serious?!

[neat edge]

so..

[unreal wadi]

Yep

[thorny stirrup]

LOL

[forest magnet]

yeah you can buy lightning's stuff on the store

[stuck yarrow]

They really just made everyone DRK in the first 10 seconds

[forest magnet]

"whats a cure 3"

[wintry onyx]

I'LL Say this now, There Better be an FFXIV and FFVII Remake Crossover

[thorny stirrup]

Strangely, no one failed during that event but we all died because we watched the pretty light make a triangle around us and stood in the center

[forest magnet]

we got a fenrir motorcycle

[unreal wadi]

Yeah uh

needed the LB3

to block the LB4 hahah

[forest magnet]

and we're doing the Weapons

[stuck yarrow]

You seriously expect the whole team to stay close enough for a cure 3 lmao

[forest magnet]

well if they die you can blame them 🙂

[vital brook]

Oi so

[wintry onyx]

No a proper Crossover like FFXIII and FFXV @forest magnet

[stuck yarrow]

Wiping without tank LB was hilarious

[gleaming bough]

Imagine watching old cutscene after completed 5.3 msq

where magnai boast he is the sun when he is standing to the actual sun

[neat edge]

imagine standing in the middle of a summoning triangle

[unreal wadi]

funny enogh

[vital brook]

Why does the VIIth imperial legion Legatus strikes me as a groomer?

[unreal wadi]

He fucking does

[forest magnet]

Because he corners a smol au ra in a room

with kids watching

holy fuck kids are watching

[unreal wadi]

Let's be honest.

[forest magnet]

what a sick animal

[stuck yarrow]

Time to walk up to G’raha and ask if he’ll be my Nhaama

[vital brook]

His whole milk drinking scene gave me YandereDev vibes

[gaunt star]

hugging corner during fly past thinking its safe

NOPE

[unreal wadi]

cant be the only one who felt uncomfortable

[forest magnet]

milk drinking scene gave me ghost of tsushima flashbacks

[neat edge]

sweat boii

[forest magnet]

you know the scene

[vital brook]

This guy... so many drinks

And he chose to act fancy drinking milk from carton

[neat edge]

yet he looks like a thin asf hyur

[gaunt star]

is it full cream

that carton looks like NUT milk to me

[vital brook]

Can we save the smol au ra? or are we gonna have to kill her?

[unreal wadi]

when i get home

gonna do some poses

with my gundam

[gaunt star]

what you mean? this is EVA have fun

no one surviving

i rmb there's a green hair boi?

[vital brook]

He ded

[unreal wadi]

[gaunt star]

hes gone lmao

[unreal wadi]

He died immediately

in the beginning of the battle

He used oversoul immediately

[gaunt star]

so no emerald weipon?

[vital brook]

Nah he was Sapphire

[unreal wadi]

there will be

[gaunt star]

nah they could

just have Rex pilot it

[unreal wadi]

there are more mechs

according to Gaius

& Alfonse

[neat edge]

Hey we didn't cause harm to them because we destroyed the weapon the oversoul killed them.... xD

[gaunt star]

Emerald Diamond is last ones

[neat edge]

the line low-key made made me laugh when they panned to gaius

[gaunt star]

no power range trend

[vital brook]

Hey we didn't cause harm to them because we destroyed the weapon the oversoul killed them.... xD
@neat edge yeah they were already dead...

[unreal wadi]

The mech fight was awesome

[gaunt star]

green hair for green robot

[unreal wadi]

Let's be honest

[gaunt star]

[unreal wadi]

The skills were really cool

[gleaming bough]

Wont be surprised if that lord valen is a mere coward who use others to do his bidding

[gaunt star]

I hope we keep using it G Warrior > 8 man from now on

[vital brook]

How many more weapons are there btw? There are still 3 more Au Ra alive

[unreal wadi]

we got trans am mode

[forest magnet]

2

[gaunt star]

Newtypes ftw

[forest magnet]

Emerald and Diamond

[gleaming bough]

We got fin funnel barrier

[forest magnet]

Diamond will be a FranXX style mech

[unreal wadi]

Man, as a mecha fan

[forest magnet]

aka doggy style

[unreal wadi]

I was so hyped

Seeing Trans am

[vital brook]

So 1 of dem Au Ra is gonna survive/do something REALLY stoopid

[forest magnet]

since t here's 2 pilots

[gaunt star]

Make Diamond weapon use bits

hopefully the lady

wait nvm emerald would fit that more

[vital brook]

Wait... what other garlean figures can they draw from?

[gaunt star]

Livia

[unreal wadi]

[unreal wadi]

[gaunt star]

[shell merlin]

@thin crypt

[vital brook]

Tfw they draw from that green garlean dude

[shell merlin]

also ngl the new duty armor is so bad for uh

tank

[vital brook]

Or... the emperor himself?

Well i dont think they'd draw from Gaius's persona, they're too proud for it

[glad maple]

I just want the bad guys to win for once

[shell merlin]

[shell merlin]

4 parasols can get you 1.6mil ezy

[neat edge]

when you see, surprise gift, but you got something you didn't want

[wintry onyx]

Ok Guys I have a Question for Y'all, When you run though All SHB dungeons using the Trust System, Does G'raha (not the Exarch version that is used for Holminster Switch and the Grand Cosmos) ever say anything in any of the SHB Dungeons?

[rain badger]

holy shit

the new dungeon

is so COL

COOL

[gleaming bough]

@fervent ridge more nu gundam fin funnel beam than sonic

[rain badger]

I love it

[neat edge]

they won't say anything

[rain badger]

the spectral paladins black mages etc.

and the fact that the bosses are spectral berserker + thief

OMG

[mental cape]

Question, anyone happen to know where the purple parasol is yet? Haven't managed to find it

[rain badger]

also

that last boss's mechanics

[fervent ridge]

Not as funny 2/10

[forest magnet]

ishgard restoration most likely @mental cape

[rain badger]

were pretty cool

my group wiped like twice

on the last boss

once for not knowing to go into the pit

[frozen spade]

look at mr logic over here

[rain badger]

and before for not knowing we needed to stack with the rocks

[wintry onyx]

@rain badger See that's why I did it with the Trust System

[frozen spade]

did ya try out full beserk mode?

[rain badger]

haha we wall to walled everything

nooo I should've

[gleaming bough]

@frozen spade but it only loses its main camera

[forest magnet]

@frozen spade it's an FF7 reference

it's how they destroyed ruby

i think

[shell merlin]

@mental cape

Gold Paper Parasol Purchased 200,000 MGP
Plum Paper Parasol Ⓣ
Vermilion Paper Parasol Ⓣ Purchased 100,000 gil - Dye Merchant in Kugane

[forest magnet]

or one of the weapons

[shell merlin]

@mental cape so yes prob isgard when it comes out

[frozen spade]

you lose control, auto who you are targeting and all auto's you deal are reflected back to you so you die from your own auto's @rain badger

[rain badger]

thats hillarious

[frozen spade]

i died from 3 auto's as MCH

Direct critted my self

[gleaming bough]

Oof

[frozen spade]

[rain badger]

how many stacks

is it to berserk

10?

[thin crypt]

is there new nier glam

[frozen spade]

8 i think

[gleaming bough]

Does this remind you of arr amano art?

[rain badger]

probly

[frozen spade]

but you gotta stay in it long enough to actually get into full beserk mode

[vital brook]

fucking hell yo

[rain badger]

considering dissidia WoL is

amano isn't he?

[forest magnet]

also notice that none of the summoned warriors are an expansions race, they're all original 2.0 races

[wintry onyx]

Honestly @rain badger Any new Dungeons in the MSQ That uses the Trust System, I always use the Trust System first for my first run through so I know the Mechanics before hand so I know what to do when running through the dungeons in an actual party

[untold gull]

y'all, seriously, what the actual fuck do they mean

[rain badger]

we were all first time

it was p fun tho ngl

[thin crypt]

they had this planned from the start i tell you

[rain badger]

i got triple commended

[shell merlin]

@untold gull to gilean we go

[forest magnet]

FFXIV servesr being deleted please look forward to it @untold gull

[gleaming bough]

@rain badger the scene look slike the ARR cover art

[polar star]

[frozen spade]

[shell merlin]

[forest magnet]

well teh arr cover art was what Omega M was

nah domain of zenos is like an alternate dimension or something

[rain badger]

[rain badger]

elidibus

T_T

[shell merlin]

[forest magnet]

[shell merlin]

[forest magnet]

[polar star]

Takkun please get out of this channel, don't spoil yourself

[forest magnet]

[shell merlin]

I doubt it

[frozen spade]

hell we're closer to it in sapphire weapon questline

[shell merlin]

[polar star]

Actually how long in Source time have we been in the First?

[gleaming bough]

[rain badger]

WTF

the dude literally transforms

[polar star]

Yes

[gleaming bough]

Yes

[rain badger]

[untold gull]

[rain badger]

within like a mili second

Mahou Shoujo beq luqq

[shell merlin]

I NEED TO DO QUESTS BEFORE IT DIES AT BOZJAN RELEASE

[frozen spade]

plus we're south of werlyt in Terncliff (a city you go to in sapphire weapon)

[stuck yarrow]

terncliff is so pretty, would be cool to have a bigger area like it

[frozen spade]

terncliff lore

[forest magnet]

garleans are the fire nation

[bold condor]

Hey is JET here?

[wintry onyx]

You Know What I'm gonna do all the SHB dungeons using the Trust system and Using G'raha for all of them just to see if he has any interactions with his enviroment like the other scions do

[bold condor]

Because I wanna ask them how they feel about Y'shtola in this patch because I need to instigate conflict at damn-near midnight.

[gleaming bough]

sad face wol , oh yeah they fixed this hair on miqote

[forest magnet]

@forest magnet He's an All-rounder

[untold gull]

did someone say y'shtola?

[wintry onyx]

Like the Crystal Exarch for Holm and Grand Cosmos

[untold gull]

god, such a queen

[frozen spade]

how ya like the pacing of 5.3 MSQ? Just a bunch of story then a dungeon then a quick follow up with a trial then more story?

[gleaming bough]

Its ok

[frozen spade]

i wasn't expecting a trial right after a dungeon so quickly honestly

[next quarry]

Has this been posted yet?

[forest magnet]

Eh I felt the initial explanations of warrior of light were a bit unncessary but then again I am a lore enthusiast so I guess it was to get everyone else up to speed

[untold gull]

i've posted that just about everywhere i can

[forest magnet]

i can see ur panties dude

[gleaming bough]

Feel free

[forest magnet]

@untold gull it's on the ffxiv reddit

[bold condor]

If I had a gil for every time vore impacted Ishgardian history in a major way, I would have 3 gil, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened thrice.

[floral schooner]

So i feel like fandaniel sucks because he just feels like a bad rip off of emet and

[stuck yarrow]

she straight up takes a bite of that bread

I knew it! Dwarves are starting world domination!

Trundling death machines for the needy 🤔

[stuck yarrow]

Ah yes, Fandaniel the Zoomer Ascian

[wintry onyx]

Na you wanna know a Cursed Ship @bold condor? Not an FFXIV Ship Mind you but a Cursed one indeed. Vincent Valentine and Yuffie

[gleaming bough]

@mint axle who cares, what the world need is tanks, and im gonna build one

[frozen spade]

SE was like: Ya know, lets go overboard with motion capture this patch.

Tbh, I would like if they keep it up with the large amount of motion capture makes the npc's feel so more alive than ever

[untold gull]

fandaniel is like a greedy corporate boss

[shell merlin]

Zenos's butt cheeks x Hydaelyn's feet

[untold gull]

[gaunt star]

fanny is just team rocket, just doing havoc

[wary perch]

I don't understand why Yoshi have to block the new legatus face but show all those shiny sparkle sweat

Fandaniel is

He's an Ascian

Is he hausefuant?

[shell merlin]

zoomers are older

he is more gen y who makes boomer jokes

aka emet

emet is boomer

but emet is cool boomer

[bold condor]

I mean to say he's an actual Ascian, like from Elidibus's group.

[wintry onyx]

Guys? Vincent Valentine and Yuffie? Don't Y'all think that's a cursed ship?

[gleaming bough]

Technically would eveey ancient be called an ascian?

[bold condor]

No.

[stuck yarrow]

Fandaniel was apparently born in the 90s

[bold condor]

There were only 3 Ancients among the Ascians.

[shell merlin]

ascians follow zodiark

[gaunt star]

fanny is like boomers ded, time to parteh

[bold condor]

And they're all dead.

[shell merlin]

we murdered them

[bold condor]

Fandaniel is one of the sundered souls of a Convocation of Thirteen member.

He was elevated by one of those three using the constellation crystal to restore his memories from his past life.

[slender merlin]

Dwarves > Lala's, not even a contest

[gleaming bough]

Great

[stuck yarrow]

Time to genocide an endangered species 😎

[shell merlin]

sundered means split

for people who cant english like me

[untold gull]

while we're talking spoilers, what do you guys think of azem

definitely WoL, right?

[bold condor]

y'all talk big shit about dwarves being better than lalas

[gleaming bough]

@untold gull its not even subtle

[bold condor]

but who keeps the scions' checkbooks balanced?

who kept they bodies alive?

The only good lala

i know, they all but outright said 'it's you, ya dingus'

Oh hey, Ryne has the Gunblade now

It was basically hammered to your face that you are azem

jkjk

There are like

[floral schooner]

Im confident in the writing to be good if its even half as good as the rest of 5.0 but god. They finally humanised the ascians and gave them real ass motivation and fanny rolls in like "lol my friends dead lets do shits and giggles"

[next quarry]

20 good lala

[stuck yarrow]

yeah you're definitely azem

[shell merlin]

@floral schooner you mean fandan?

[untold gull]

huh...it just occurred to me i have yet to do sapphire weapon quest....

[shell merlin]

or

elidibus

[slender merlin]

I don't even think I did Ruby Doomsday

[stuck yarrow]

I never thought I'd relate to Zenos as much as i did during that cutscene

[gleaming bough]

The French and jp ver basically saif " went back to its rightful owner" when you received azem crystal

[untold gull]

also, i wanna ask - how did you guys react to the cameo during the trial?

[floral schooner]

@shell merlin fandan. Elidibus was infuriating but hes a man thats been fighting so long that he has no choice but to fight

[next quarry]

I was more hyped about the WoL

[bold condor]

Zenos: silently watching whatever the goddamn hell Fandaniel is doing

[gaunt star]

what cameo? emmy?

[shell merlin]

@floral schooner fandan didnt like emet or any of them

[gleaming bough]

Yes emet

[unreal wadi]

Hype.

[untold gull]

ya, emet

[shell merlin]

fandan now that they are dead, can do whatever he wants

[gleaming bough]

His snap and hand wave

[gaunt star]

emmy is bro after all

[untold gull]

he snapped us back to life, y'all

[bold condor]

Fandaniel like "the adults are dead! PARTY TIME!"

[undone wyvern]

soooo for anyone doing the extreme...how do you avoid death with the first meteor lmaooo

[frozen spade]

imo, emet like "fuck you bitch, you fight him like I did you don't take a cheap way out to kill him"

[shell merlin]

emet failsafed

[bold condor]

Fandaniel about to hold the most bitching party Garlemald's ever seen

[gaunt star]

he want us to fuck elly up so he don't suffer alone

[shell merlin]

when emet died his plan died

[random anvil]

I loved when the gang is vibin' in their new old threads in Mor Dhona

[shell merlin]

elidibus literally walked into 2 traps

emet's and exarch

dude got fucked

[frozen spade]

elidibus was slowly turning into a murderhobo. Those are easy to trap

[floral schooner]

@shell merlin yeah, which kinda took away the idea that the ascians could have been us in another timeline. The sense of wanting to reunite with friends. Its just like "oh lmao ill dance with joy over a comrades death"

[shell merlin]

well he is split

he isnt whole like the ogs

[untold gull]

i really do love how they gave elidibus' character some justice. his kinda cardboard personality before this patch suddenly just made sense

[shell merlin]

so he doesnt fully understand

[gaunt star]

more like, did u choose the gremlin talk when confronting elly

[bold condor]

Fandaniel's not like the unsundered.

The unsundered were true believers in their cause.

Even if Lahabrea was kind of insane.

[shell merlin]

@floral schooner he is basically not driven by the motives of the whole

fandan just wants chaos

not with reason

clearly

[bold condor]

Well, we don't really know what Fandaniel wants.

[gleaming bough]

I wont be surprised if that kid from warring traid join soul with us ij the future

[shell merlin]

true

but all ascians want chaos

[bold condor]

But he doesn't strike me as the kind of guy who wants to bring anyone back to life.

[frozen spade]

fandaniel a young asican and now can do what he pleases without the old one breathing down his neck bc they are dead

[shell merlin]

and if he doesnt care for old stuff

[floral schooner]

Yeah but so was Igeyorhm and she seemed to care about lahabreah

[shell merlin]

fandan

[gaunt star]

the boomers want their daddy back

the new ones just want chaos

[untold gull]

fandaniel is like a more chaotic, insane version of zenos

[frozen spade]

fand was happy the boomers asican died off

[shell merlin]

BOOMERS ARE GONE

fandan:

[untold gull]

well, more dramatic even

[unreal wadi]

So Fandaniel is a younger Ascian?

🤔

[shell merlin]

ye

[unique verge]

Iggy just was pretty much on board with whatever because she's the one who fucked up and screwed up the rejoining

[floral schooner]

Like. They don't necessarily need to have 100% motivation to be interesting or anything

[shell merlin]

ye

[bold condor]

I mean

[unique verge]

If anything, the death of the final unsundered makes the remaining Ascians infinitely more dangerous

Nothing is holding them in check any longer

[shell merlin]

^

also true

[bold condor]

That motivation is basically the thing that made Ascians good but also realize the unsundered made what is essentially

[shell merlin]

literally they can do whatever the fuck they want

[bold condor]

An immortal death cult of people who kill for enjoyment and don't see people as alive.

[gleaming bough]

Emet got an awesome boss theme

Elidibus got an even better theme

What did lahabrea get? Our theme song and get sucked in by a primal

[shell merlin]

oh yah I forgot his death scene

LMFAO

[vital brook]

So if Zenos had just died, FFXIV story would've been pretty much done

[shell merlin]

HE GOT SO FUCKED

Vore is an important part of Ishgardian history.

Three times.

LMAOO

[floral schooner]

Before shadowbringers i felt like the ascians where just moustache twirling villians that where bland and shb gave them depth. Like; "cool motive, still murder" but a motive thaf could he understood

[bold condor]

Hraesvelgr vore Shiva. King Thordan vore Ratatoskr. Archbishop vore

[quasi python]

question how are ascians created? like i understand that elidibus and emet were part of the OG squad, but how about the newcomers?

[floral schooner]

Fandaniel walks in fucking fortnite dancing over corpses and its like "oh we here agaib"

[bold condor]

i'm aware

[unique verge]

Nah, i really think he will tbh

[shell merlin]

@floral schooner doing you the favor

[bold condor]

If you think any of these people are dying outside of an MSQ trial

[gaunt star]

stormblood sucks so bad it overflows into 6.0

[bold condor]

You crazy

[unique verge]

Zenos Expansion Redux is not a great look, either from marketing or writing perspective.

[bold condor]

imagine actually thinking Zenos was what was wrong with Stormblood

[shell merlin]

what

[unique verge]

I think that Zenos will be the cause of 6.0

[shell merlin]

ZENOS CARRIED STORMBLOOD

[floral schooner]

Yeah 5.4 and 5.5 are just going to be prolouge stuff

[slender merlin]

Especially considering SB is widely regarded to be the weakest expansion

[polar star]

Wheres the Neo Ishgardian trade in?

[unique verge]

but i dont think he'll be around for it

[gleaming bough]

Does anyone looking forward to new free glam from tataru in 5.5?

[bold condor]

imagine thinking SB is actually a bad expansion

I didnt say SB was bad

or that Zenos in SB was bad

ZENOS CARRIED STORMBLOOD
truer words have never been said about SB

i feel like we might get some graphics overhaul in the future with all these hi res textures we're starting to get

But having an expansions core antagonist be the same one twice is not ideal.

Man I'd love if they go back and redid 2.0 cutscenes

And 2 gods

Zenos carried Stormblood? If Zenos was any more one-dimensional he'd be invisible if he turned sideways

2nd choice is great

what about 3rd choice?

[ashen violet]

now that i think of it, is elidibus' true? form in 5.3 that of a child because he was summoned as something along the lines of a rebirth of the original elidibus?

[bold condor]

Zenos is the logical conclusion of the ideals of Garlemald.

[gleaming bough]

Tbh despite his power, zenos character is still trash

[shell merlin]

nawh

zenos is what we call an interesting psycho

[bold condor]

A society that paradoxically places personal value on strength but also put Zenos at the top by birthright.

[shell merlin]

he kills his fucking dad cause he is obsessed with us

[gleaming bough]

Oh look at me , i defeated several samurai, im more powerful than wol

[shell merlin]

?

dude

he literally died

and came back

[floral schooner]

When he's next to a villian like Yotsuyu who was written so fucking well zenos is boring and one note

[shell merlin]

he kicked our ass twice

[slender merlin]

He's not interesting though

[gaunt star]

he came back because u are his bff

[shell merlin]

lel

[frozen spade]

bruh, he just thrown a cup at that guys face

[gleaming bough]

I dislike the fact he kick our ass just because plot demand it

[shell merlin]

i mean

[gaunt star]

I’m surprised my idea that G’raha will join Scions and be a trust actually became a thing

[gleaming bough]

If its regulas who kicked our ass i don mind

[shell merlin]

@gleaming bough if you think about it, at that time zenos was a higher level than us

[untold gull]

zenos is like chaos incarnate. that's what makes him interesting. he's dangerous because of that fact

[shell merlin]

^

[untold gull]

not character chaos, mind you. just the word itself

[shell merlin]

i dont liek winning every fight

[gaunt star]

but damn i want to end his life again

[unique verge]

The only chance Zenos has of becoming an interesting character in terms of development is whats going to happen with his "Final days dreams" line of storytelling. Just what the fuck is he.

[frozen spade]

i dont liek winning every fight
@shell merlin just stand in aoe's then

[gleaming bough]

This blond hair dude with nothing about him shown suddenly kicking our ass?

[thin crypt]

elidibus

[shell merlin]

??

@gleaming bough he is talked up as a threat

what do you mean

in stormblood

[gleaming bough]

At least show him actually take on a bunch of armies

Alone

[shell merlin]

I mean

They literally do show you that

A few sam aint gonna cut it

[shell merlin]

they show all of that

Iirc it was just a few sam

[shell merlin]

they show him kick everyone's fucking ass too hein yos etc

[unique verge]

This feels like an uninformed dislike of Zenos

[shell merlin]

LOL

[gleaming bough]

Should have let regulas live and become shb main antagonist

[unique verge]

That would be contrived as fuck and stupid.

[coarse pond]

Or, SE played a lot of danganronpa amd instead of us being warriors of light we are warriors of hope and zenos is warrior of despair 😩

[bold condor]

That'd require ruining Regula, though.

he kicks everyone's ass

Controlled by elidibus

[shell merlin]

ok then

[gleaming bough]

Lol

[shell merlin]

let me go back

and get the other shit

[bold condor]

He did do that, though.

In 4.0.

[frozen spade]

so...

[bold condor]

But to Pipin and you and Lyse.

[frozen spade]

are we going to the moon in 6.0 or that cancelled?

or was it 7.0?

[bold condor]

Society told Zenos the only value in human life was in working in service to the state. But Zenos is the state by birthright, and he never had to work a day in his life. You can't expect anything to matter to someone like that. He's basically grown up in a state of contradiction.

He's not like his father, content to take what life handed him from birth and just rest on it, he actually wants a challenge, and the first time he found it is when he found his obsession. It's why his father fundamentally misunderstands why he kills him.

Varis sees the throne as valuable.

[pallid quiver]

we could just let source rot and stay at first

[bold condor]

Zenos doesn't see any value in it at all.

[shell merlin]

@bold condor ty

[frozen spade]

we could just stay with Feo Ul

[shell merlin]

and this is why he likes the WoL

cause we are a good fight

we arent boring

[bold condor]

Zenos arguably doesn't see any value in anything apart from his own pleasure.

[shell merlin]

HE CALLS US HIS FRIEND HE IS SO WHOLESOME

[gleaming bough]

I think the true final.boss is prob the being that caused the final days of the ancient

[bold condor]

He doesn't even value his own life.

[shell merlin]

good idea but

[stuck yarrow]

can't wait for them to add G'raha's new haircut to the mogstation and then to experience the disappointment when it's male only

[shell merlin]

if thats true

[bold condor]

Also worth noting that Zenos is entirely the fault of both the main antagonistic forces of FFXIV's setting.

[shell merlin]

@gleaming bough how the fuck do we beat something that killed a whole star

and literally

[gleaming bough]

@shell merlin god knows

[bold condor]

Emet-Selch created the Garlean Empire.

[shell merlin]

unsplit people

[bold condor]

And the moral failings of that Empire created Zenos.

[shell merlin]

@gaunt star its his final form

[bold condor]

I love that VA.

[stuck yarrow]

oh he's great

Except when he's randy.

In which case he sounds like he's edging.

edging yes

He's gonna fucking pre, dude.

[stuck yarrow]

something something B R E E D

Some say the true final boss is that one thing that caused the final days.

And is up to wol, hydealyn and zordiark to stop it

[bold condor]

Zenos wants to penetrate you with something long and hard. His swelling, red ||katana||.

[stuck yarrow]

Zenos got too addicted to fake anime opponents and now only the most anime of real life opponents do it for him

[shell merlin]

@gleaming bough I doubt that

[coarse pond]

5.3 spoiler ||the bread dies out of hands of little potato||

[shell merlin]

cause zodiark is literally anti hydealyn

vice versa

[coarse pond]

😩

[shell merlin]

they cant be together

[bold condor]

Man imagine if Zenos had fought Elidibus as he was.

You think that LB4 shit would've gotten his rocks off?

[crimson pollen]

I think Yoshida's task with Zenos will be interesting, tho. Not that the Ascians were well liked in general, but part of the community seems to be negative about Zenos. The devs will need to flash him out way more to overcome that circunstance

[gaunt star]

he would came buckets

[bold condor]

Like "WHERE WAS THIS IN THE THRONE ROOM, ASCIAN?"

"YOU HELD OUT ON ME."

"YOU SLUT."

[slender merlin]

He'd need a personality if he was to be an interesting villain

[bold condor]

Elidibus: o.o

[shell merlin]

he has a personality

[bold condor]

He has a personality, you just don't like the personality he has.

If Fandaniel gets Zenos to finally wash his greasy ass hair I'll consider defecting
