It seems like the prizes you can exchange tickets for the show of gotten a lot more pathetic

#

I remember going to places and you could get a brand new gaming consoles and even a freaking computer with enough tickets

inner kite
#

Lots of mobile games sell gear/characters in gatcha form

real swift
#

I used to go to one where you could buy booster boxes of various trading card games

kind lark
#

Pachinko machines and their overwhelming sound

cinder badger
#

@inner kite yeah have you heard of this one called "Gacha Impact"?

humble rain
#

Dissida Opera Omnia is a gacha game

inner kite
#

Ofc chinese spy game

forest magnet
#

Did you know that SE's Gacha games bring in more revenue than XIV does.

real swift
#

if SE makes a virtual card game like hearth stone or shadowverse i could only imagine how much money they would make.

kind lark
#

Pretty much any game that isn't gacha and pachinko make less. I think That fate game makes billions, billions its nuts

If only people know how absolutely fucking huge gacha is

#

Tetra Master actually used to be a PlayOnline title

real swift
#

and it was fairly expensive...considering you had to have an active FFXI sub, then had to pay an extra like what was it $2 a month? for tetra master

cinder badger
#

I thought it had a separate subscription fee

real swift
#

FFXI was a terribly designed mmo..I couldn't get a my character above level 20...because even the most basic enemies required a full party to kill

inner kite
#

More grinding you do, more addicted you get

kind lark
#

Buyer's remorse

cinder badger
#

@real swift I love Final Fantasy 11 and I never had a problem with it

real swift
#

I joined after the first expansion and way before the made it easier to party with people.

#

so I'd spend most of my time in a party finder trying to grind levels, some times waiting 2-3 days before i gave up and just stopped playing

#

and when I finally got to level 20 warrior, I couldn't find a group good enough to level grind with and ended up going back down to level 18.

cinder badger
#

You know how you change that

#

Make your own party

#

Don't wait for somebody to invite you just take initiative

real swift
#

Tried that, never got more than 2-3 people

cinder badger
#

I never had that problem and I was from Quetzalcoatl. It wasn't the most populated server

real swift
#

I started playing at a point where nobody was looking to level in that tier everyone was on to the new stuff.

#

Like, a damn crab, where if you examin it and it says "this creature isn't worth your time it's hardly a threat" can kick your ass when you try to solo it.

#

that should never have been a thing.

cinder badger
#

I joined the game just before Treasures of Aht Uhrgan came out

real swift
#

ooh and leveling down, who had that bright idea for the game.

cinder badger
#

That's how a lot of really old style MMOs were. They weren't for casuals you had to be pretty hardcore to play a game like Final Fantasy 11

real swift
#

WoW wasn't even that agonizing back then...at least you could level up solo and didn't require a party

cinder badger
#

Depended on your class. I picked up classic when it launched just to remember that priest couldn't do shit on its own

#

Same thing with shaman unless you were going enhancement

#

If you wanted to succeed on classic you might as well just played a mage. Root everything then blizzard. Plus everybody loves you because you had access to portals and water

#

But XI was my first real MMO so that was the standard by which I learned

#

And I played a Red Mage and everybody loved me

real swift
#

WoW was never that hard for me with it's solo content even back in vanilla or burning crusade..only problem I had with WoW was the toxic community it had.

cinder badger
#

Because I had access to refresh

real swift
#

See I think you got on XI after they implimented a level sync thing where people of higher levels could join your party and sync down to your level

cinder badger
#

Before that actually

#

Level sync was actually closer to Wings of the goddess

real swift
#

cause in Rise of Zilart there was no level syncing mechanic, which is prolly why i could never find any one to party with, and actually level up

#

Like first 10 levels great, but trying to get to 11+ woof...so much time on that blinding ass beach killing crabs.

cinder badger
#

But I was really good at making parties and then when I made them I made sure to friend those people because you want to keep in touch and make friends with the people in the community

#

It wasn't one of those games where you run something with somebody and then you part ways never to see each other again you wanted to have as many friends as possible

real swift
#

and waiting endlessly to try and get 4 people to kill said crabs

cinder badger
#

Not like MMOs today were you just queue up in the Duty Finder speed run that dungeon and then move on to the next group

real swift
#

I dunno i've made a metric crap ton of friends with duty finder

cinder badger
#

Us being able to just casually chat with people during downtime healing up mp and such was a blast.

#

Again Final Fantasy XI wasn't for everyone but it didn't make it a bad game

real swift
#

Oh, i'm not saying it was over all a bad game. I just hated how hard it was to get further into it, to actually experience the game.

cinder badger
#

Yeah like I mentioned it cater to the more hardcore players

real swift
#

Also the leveling down...I hated that so damn much

#

I was so excited to hit level 20, and get to what was that town Yuno?

#

only to end up leveling down to 18 after that.

cinder badger
#

But it felt so rewarding when you got that pay off like my first artifact set

#

I don't get that same feeling from Final Fantasy XIV especially now they just kind of give it to you after 1 Quest

real swift
#

I'd give XI another chance if I could

#

I've seen they made changes to make it a bit easier to get further but i don't think it's worth that $14 a month

cinder badger
#

I actually play on a private server now when I get the chance to

#

It's set in Treasures of Aht Urgahn era stuff but they included level sync just for convenience-sake

#

I was working on Thief

#

That's really the reason why I wanted to go back to it what is because Thief existed lol

autumn heron
#

XI has been easy to get into since they introduced the trust system

#

Like 10 years ago

#

So evem if ur playing solo you wont just die to every mob

viscid monolith
#

XI was designed to waste your time at every possible moment

real swift
#

Yes it was.

cinder badger
#

It's not a waste of time if you're enjoying it

viscid monolith
#

And players gladly played it because they were dumb kids and could do their homework while they wait for a party or missed the ferry.

#

You could read a book while playing XI

cinder badger
#

Okay fuck you too

viscid monolith
#

Or play a game of chess

#

Or learn another language while playing XI

primal sundial
#

or play XI while playing XI

#

wait

viscid monolith
#

The entire game moved at a snail's pace

real swift
#

you mean stand there staring angrily at a crab that if you did manage to kill it wouldn't give you any EXP and could nearly murder you in 2 attacks.

kind lark
#

A quick shout-out to Soken

#

Keep it up you Legend

gaunt star
#

I think the melee dps job will be a scythe user but i dont think its going to be called necromancer. Theres alot of clues. Paladin is poster boy on 6.0 and zenos would be representing the opposite affinity. In 4.0 zenos showcased samurai as the melee job. In 5.4 zenos breaks his samurai sword saying he needs a new weapon. Whatever this new job is zenos will most likely be respresenting it and i dont think zenos would be wielding a hammer or a pirate/corsair weapon. And a scythe is very likely and obvious considering it would represent a dark/evil element opposing the warrior of lights good affinity for a epic showdown. Dont forget ranjit had a scythe too so its not out of question. And just becuz botanist uses a scythe doesnt mean they cant put a diff type of scythe into the game for combat jobs. There r many diff types of swords

cinder badger
#

@gaunt star technically derplander showcase Samurai

gaunt star
#

ehhh well he did use the samurai weapon tho

#

we know he gave up the samurai weapon. i cant picture zenos using anything else other than a scythe going forward tbh

empty moss
#

bc you are wrong

cinder badger
#

I think the reason why they gave Warrior a hammer weapon in shadowbringers was to dissuade people from asking for a hammer job

empty moss
#

everyone is over thinking

gaunt star
#

or underthinking

#

maybe new job is chocobo chaser

cinder badger
#

Basically saying " you guys wanted a hammer? There, Warrior gets a hammer."

#

I hope they actually design more hammers for the warrior so people have glamour options

empty moss
#

its will clearly be trickster

gaunt star
#

i just want a fun job that will replace my main from mch. i like mch but its not complex enuff and its dps is underwhelming compared to other jobs in the top 5-10%. and as of now i sadly dont enjoy much other jobs in the game other than drg

real swift
#

That doesn't feel like it'd be a melee DPS...I think it could be Templar, that is a support Melee DPS that uses auras to buff near by party members

empty moss
#

or they are reintroducing Sentinel

cinder badger
#

I just don't see why they would throw Templar in this particular expansion

gaunt star
#

i dont see templar

cinder badger
#

There still needs to be a reason it would become involved

#

Plus an origin

empty moss
#

ow wait i know

#

Choco Knight

gaunt star
#

chicken kicker

#

or just put arumat into the game from star ocean 4

empty moss
#

or it could be Pilot

cinder badger
#

And then how exactly would Templar work mechanically that would separate it from Paladin or Dark Knight

gaunt star
#

templar doesnt even sound like a dps job

cinder badger
#

And what kind of weapon would it use because paladins have swords Dark Nights have great swords and dragons have Lance's

real swift
#

It'd be a support DPS gives haste and emboldens those in close range of the boss to deal more damage

cinder badger
#

But support DPS gravitate towards range DPS

gaunt star
#

oh god no more full support oriented jobs plz.....dancer ruined fflogs

empty moss
#

templar has no place in FF14

cinder badger
#

Melee DPS are supposed to be the Heavy Hitters

empty moss
#

if you want Templars play Crusader Kings

real swift
#

It could be a class that's not returning, but entirely new and exclusive to XIV

next marsh
#

corsair starting to make sense

empty moss
#

aether weaver

gaunt star
#

or a curveball none of us could expect to guess

cinder badger
#

@real swift I've said that before too because they wanted to create something completely original to the franchise

empty moss
#

Solder

real swift
#

It could be just simply called Reaper

empty moss
#

1st class

gaunt star
#

its an original class using scythe yay

#

i think its gonna wield a scythe tho thats my final guess. ill see if im right in may

cinder badger
#

@next marsh why does Corsair make sense

gaunt star
#

we dont need another damn gun job

#

its not corsair PaimonCookies

real swift
#

Well Yoshi P did wear 2 shirts, with grim reapers on them

gaunt star
kind lark
#

I'm team reaper

gaunt star
#

corsairs use pistols and melee weapons

#

it wont be corsair tho

real swift
#

the one he had during the showcase had the words "I'll be there if you need me" Featured a reaper, and had neighborhood on the shirt, as well as hindu text, but i dunno what that said can't read it.

#

that shirt could be the biggest hint.

gaunt star
#

i know it wont be

#

biggest hint is no comment

#

cause yall off

real swift
#

Yea no comment was a thing too lol

cinder badger
#

That text wasn't really Hindu

gaunt star
#

also they said necromancer too much for it to be necro

#

andd zenos will be the new job PaimonCookies

#

well originally no1 was even speculating melee jobs....ppl were so hellbent on a healer called chemist and a magic ranged

cinder badger
#

The "text" were the letters NBHD (Neighborhood)

tough fern
#

Necrooooooo

gaunt star
real swift
#

Scyth wielding, enfeebling Melee DPS

gaunt star
tough fern
#

On a side note there appears to be a weapon beside Zenos that appears to be the part of a scythe

gaunt star
#

itll be a scythe user and zenos will be using a scythe....what other weapon culd zenos use that would make sense. he forsoke his samurai playstyle

tough fern
gaunt star
#

it looks like the back of the top of a scythe tbh

cinder badger
#

@real swift why would they add something that provides debuffs when they just scrapped a whole bunch of effects from the other melee jobs

tough fern
#

Which leans towards Reaper

real swift
#

If they add Necromancer at any point it'll be a healer.

gaunt star
#

yeah

kind lark
gaunt star
#

yoshi p doesnt like the idea of the MC using that kind of power PaimonCookies

tough fern
#

Zenos becoming a reaper makes sense

gaunt star
#

yep

tough fern
#

Given his love for slaughter

cinder badger
#

@gaunt star well then it can't be Templar because Templars were known to cause zombification

gaunt star
#

a dark affinity weapons "scythe" vs warrior of lights good afinity "paladin" for the final showdown. it makes perfect sense

gaunt star
#

its either Reaper or an original job

#

i agree

#

its just people are too stuck up on the FF universe to think outside the box

#

much of the content in 6.0 seems original

kind lark
#

Too big for a scythe too small for a scythe, a hammer not a hammer. It turns out it was his walking stick

cinder badger
#

Also a scythe wouldn't be wholly original either

gaunt star
#

if it is reaper tho prepare for a massive game imbalance as most ppl will roll into that that play dps jobs.....scythes r infamous for being the most popular weapon choice

#

scythe no

#

the class yes

somber storm
#

Now what if Zenos ain't gonna be the new class

cinder badger
#

Since Final Fantasy XIV predecessor Final Fantasy XI had the Dark Knight wielding a scythe

tough fern
foggy coyote
#

I hope the other class is something 14 original, honestly.

cinder badger
#

They are not dividing tanks into off tank and Main tank

real swift
#

What if it plays like a reverse Red mage, starts off with a hard hitting melee combo then switches to a quick dark themed magical combo

somber storm
#

Aethersword class

open verge
severe brook
#

still betting on Reaper

cinder badger
#

I'm still going to say Warriors being removed as a tank and places it melee DPS because it sounds just as credible as everybody else's theories

open verge
#

I bet on everyone gettingthe job name wrong

gaunt star
#

classes are staying the way they are Weird

#

what remove warrior

open verge
#

Tanks are in good balance and you want to remove them?

somber storm
#

Warrior go bye bye

#

No more cleaves

real swift
#

I'm waiting for when we break the level 100 cap, and all our current soul crystals get upgraded.

gaunt star
#

i mean warrior is boring so they can remove it idc but generally speaking its not happening

open verge
#

If you remove a tank for being a dps why would you pick warrior and not gnb

gaunt star
#

unless the game gets some sort of large overhaul

kind lark
#

At 100 we'll get a mount for each job

autumn heron
#

Which it wont

open verge
#

That would be dope but I don’t see it

gaunt star
cinder badger
#

I said it as a joke because everybody keeps coming up with all these insane theories about the shirts so I said:

Yoshida changed his shirt in the middle of a segment and they implied that the new job will use maiming gear so Warrior will be moved from tank to melee DPS.

gaunt star
autumn heron
#

To do thay there would be an even bigger lull in content then 2020

gaunt star
#

im not saying now

autumn heron
#

No content for well over a year

gaunt star
#

well the development got messed up thanks to covid so i have no expectations for the near future

real swift
#

OMG what if the class is called Void Knight, or has something related to the void sent

#

there's a ton of scythe wielding void sent

gaunt star
#

i just want it to be an original class simply using a scythe so i can rub it at ppls face at this point

foggy coyote
#

god, please no voidsent crap

#

XD

gaunt star
#

if i wanted to use summons id play summoner

real swift
#

Look...clearly we're gonna be fighting a bunch of voidsent this expack...

gaunt star
#

its not voidsent..

real swift
#

the dungeon art for one of the new ones looks like the voidark.

foggy coyote
#

except we're not

gaunt star
#

Demon Hunter straight from WoW

#

most of the bosses we will fight will probably be creations like Lunar Bahamut

cinder badger
#

@real swift it's not mhachi

real swift
#

I also guarantee you that Anima is going to be related to the voidsent too

somber storm
#

Nioh 2 switch glaive

foggy coyote
#

i know that one Giger-ish place has voidsent vibes, but I think that's just Fandipshit being a Doomer with his aesthetic choices

gaunt star
#

anima is probably going to be a tower creation

cinder badger
#

@real swift this expansion is literally about reliving the end day there won't be any voidsent involved

kind lark
#

Fandaniel is anima

gaunt star
#

thats possible too Shrug

real swift
#

and when I say it looks kinda like the void arch, I'm talking about the like gross growthy stuff on it

gaunt star
#

regardless we have moved past the voidsent

inner kite
#

Nah we haven't

#

13th

gaunt star
#

if anything happens with other shards it wont be b4 6.1

#

focus is on the final days

cinder badger
#

@inner kite I'm pretty sure we solve the mysteries of the Void sent after Mhach and CT

gaunt star
#

unless the alliance raid is tied to it

#

MSQ is not for voidsent in 6.0

inner kite
#

Have you done the new quests in crystarium about saving 13th

gaunt star
real swift
#

I still need to get a melee DPS to 80 to do that.

gaunt star
#

b4**

kind lark
#

How about if the raid is placed in the void?

gaunt star
#

could be

foggy coyote
#

Well, it's not like it's us doing the saving. Unukhalhai wants to do it. We don't have to help him.

inner kite
gaunt star
#

we do

#

6.0 is focused on the final days

#

and 13th has nothing to do with it.

cinder badger
#

@kind lark we already had a raid that went to the void

gaunt star
#

fandaniel triggered them in 6.0

cinder badger
#

It was called the world of Darkness

kind lark
inner kite
#

What if pandaemonium is void

gaunt star
#

probably not

#

Panda is probably related to getting rid of lahees creations PaimonCookies

inner kite
#

Ok remember what you said cya in 6+ months

gaunt star

#

Shortening of Pandemonium should totally be Panda

gaunt star
#

i say what i notice from the story

cinder badger
#

Ooooh will we get to fight Ifrita?

gaunt star
#

dunno but i doubt its Lahabrea himself

#

he became food

cinder badger
#

Ifrita is one of Laha's creations

real swift
#

Could it be the whole moon related thing, could be that what ever monsters caused the final days came from the moon?

#

In my opinion Primals in general are some messed up concepts that ended up in lifestream

gaunt star
#

primals were creatted by the ancients so Shrug

inner kite
#

There was a talk about seal on silverlake tear or smth

real swift
#

Yea but they made creatures weaker than primals just for fun though.

gaunt star
#

yeah

inner kite
#

And bahamut realeasing it

gaunt star
#

but i wouldnt call it a mystery

real swift
#

They didn't start making powerful and dangerous primals until the threat of the worlds end came.

gaunt star
#

maybe theres more to it than bahamut

inner kite
#

For sure there is

real swift
#

and then some of the monsters that caused the final days were things they created from lack of control, due to their own fears and emotional state

inner kite
#

What if hydaelyn sealed those monsters somewhere

#

*shards of them or whatever

real swift
#

maybe?

#

I wonder though if there is something more powerful out there that invaded their world and thus caused them to create Zodiark and Hydaelyn

#

cause kinda looking at it... there are some similar traits to Lunar Bahamut and Therion the final boss of Amaurot

#

Mainly the weird spirally horns close to its wings, and the purple coloring

gaunt star
#

ye probably they are similarly creatted monsters

#

Well they were products of a "noise" so

#

Cthonic bosses incoming?

It's pretty similar

It's like the Sephirot theme all over!

(Not that the Sephirot theme is is really a full on copy of the Powerman 5,000 song, but the verses man... Soken was definity influnced.)

I mean...

Its pretty damned close

This video plays the Powerman 5000 song "When World Collide" and the FFXIV "Sephirot Phase 2 Battle Theme" at the same time. Powerman 5000 is your left ear and Sephirot is your right. Headphones are recommended.

I have sped the play speed of Sephirot Battle theme up by 4 BPM (from 140 to 144) to match the tempo of the Powerman 5000 song - this ...

A fine full dignified beard.

When I stroke the beard thusly do I not appear more intellectual

rough kestrel
#

The stubble from the SHB trailers is in the game

#

They duplicated Hyur face 5 for WoL and replaced the Chin beard with the stubble, it's like Face 248 or something.

#

It has all the other optional face options for Face 5 as well, the stubble changes color with hair and it can be turned on/off like other face options.

#

The only reason that I can see for us not having it currently is that they don't know how to add new face options to existing faces.

gaunt star
#

Just replace the other facial hair they have

#

I guarantee no one will miss it

Yeah, nobody likes the chin beard over the stubble, and no one would use the pedo stache

The femroe is probably placeholder for Queen because they know in their heart of hearts if they make even one female model for that race the entire Community will breathe down their necks

rough kestrel

I mean figure you're just suppose to extrapolate that female hrothgar do exist even if you dont see them and they breed like any other race, by ||Praying for a stork to bring a child||

#

Usually these things dont need confirmed answers because you should just assume everything in Eorzea fucks

#

And leave it at that

#

Maybe they're like the Gerudo from Legend of Zelda

that one miqote in Thanalan has like an entire village of catgirls to himself

Originally Gerudo were only female with a male being born once every hundred years they reproduce by mating with other Hylians outside of their village in an Amazonish fashion.

rough kestrel
#

That seems highly impractical from an evolutionary standpoint

cinder badger
#

You're forgetting that this is a fantasy world and that your real-world logic has no place in it

I can accept it as a thing in the context of "There use to be alot more dudes but the race has mostly died out, so this is how we get our jollies now"

Oh maybe that reference by Shtola was Moenbryda and not Pap lmao

cinder badger
#

@inner kite Shinryu would have blown up half the world right there and then. Papalyamo bought them time to plan a way to combat it. Absolutely nobody was ready for Bahamut when it was at full strength

Which is why the Calamity happened

inner kite

Oh well ultimate trial

rough kestrel

Meonbryda has come up a few times

I only know because I go

"Who?" everytime

And google her name

cinder badger
#

@Arcadis#4287 so how come the Warrior of light couldn't fight a fully powered Bahamut to prevent the 7th umbral calamity?

rough kestrel
#

1.x combat gave Bahamut too much advantage

#

So they peaced out

inner kite
#

I think they just got rid of annoying character and death is ideal emotion baiting aka profit making

#

Like haurchefant

woeful dagger
#

Or maybe it's because not enough pieces of Azem had rejoined

rough kestrel
#

The issue was they werent prepared

#

The bahamut we fight in Coils is not the same as that thing rampaging

#

But that is the WoL, poster boy is a legacy player.

cinder badger
#

The goal was to make shinryu a bahmut level threat, meaning something that the WoL could not just walk up and fight. By the time you even fight shinryu in stormblood it's already weakened by its fight with Omega

inb4 there is not merging with an elder primal, and we end up fighting both hydaelyn and zodiark fused together

gaunt star
cinder badger
#

It would actually make sense too

gaunt star
#

inb4 they had both already died

cinder badger
#

Zodiark is the original Will of their star. The purpose of its summoning was to protect itself (the star) by rewriting the laws.

Hydaelyn's purpose was simply to oppose that will by sundering Zodiark and by extention the entire star.

gaunt star
cinder badger
#

Both sides believe what they're doing is the right thing. But they could both be equally wrong

onyx sundial
#

In typical smt/ff fashion

Which would be why Azem chose neither side.

So its really not going anywhere really

#

How about putting the rings on your ring finger instead of your index finger like a five year old with a Ring Pop

gaunt star
#

thats...

#

a fair point

#

viera hats when

cinder badger
#

Okay apparently there's a kind of symbolism involved with having the ring on your index finger

#

It still doesn't make it any less silly imo but here it is

#

The pointer or index finger represents leadership, authority and self-esteem. A ring on the index finger on the active hand reflects confidence, self-esteem, and leadership qualities. At the same time, wearing a finger ring on the index finger of the passive hand indicates acceptance of leadership from people around.

#

But then if you have a ring on both index fingers how does that work?

We need grape crystals, elder primal grape crystals

balmy mesa
#

or would it be "Warrior of Grapeness"? 🤔

cinder badger
#

How come nobody's ever asked Yoshida about the whole grape thing

#

Like it just sounds like a pretty selfish reason to risk summoning a primal

inner kite
#

They didn't think much of primals at the time

cinder badger
#

"You could have died or caused more damage than the eruption would have."

"...I was hungry."

I think azem just used grapes as an excuse to save the village

Goku would risk it all for food

dim sigil

Shes a strong alien

cinder badger
#

Azem is supposed to be "unique" for an ancient.

forest magnet
#

Unique for a convocation member

cinder badger
#

All the other ancients are content with just watching the world pass them by, Azem prefers actually doing shit

forest magnet
#

I'm pretty sure being willing to help others is not a trait limited to just Azem

#

like you know

#

Azem's friends

cinder badger
#

The way Emet spoke about their people it seems there were very little differences between them.

inner kite
#

Smth like communist system

cinder badger
#

They just didn't fight over anything and preferred to discuss and debate and come to consensus but very seldom take action.

forest magnet
#

well that's the point of a post scarcity society

#

nothing to argue over

#

because there's plenty of everything

cinder badger
#

Which is probably why Azem took to traveling the world outside of Amaurot

forest magnet
#

it's like Star Trek

cinder badger
#

Because maybe people in other parts of the world had different ways of thinking

#

And Azem was curious

#

I still think Emet was speaking more of the Ancients on Amaurot, not the world as a whole.

inner kite
#

Yup ppl lived in villages too

cinder badger
#

Remember the one Quest where you took part in a debate between two ancients

forest magnet
#

what point are u trying to make

cinder badger
#

The debate was over either offering Aid to a neighboring Nation across the sea or to remain isolated and mind their own business

#

I'm just curious about what other parts of the world were like in the unsundered version of the star. What made Azem that "breath of fresh air" to the Convocation that they clearly couldn't see in any other among their people.

forest magnet
#

It's not that Azem was a breath of fresh air

#

Azem was designed to be that way

#

like Hythlo said in 5.3

#

that was the responsibility of that office

#

not what Azem decided to do

inner kite
#

Azem was supposed to not intervene

forest magnet
#

?

inner kite
#

Just scout

forest magnet
inner kite
#

Azem did many things contrary to what they were told to do, so I believe that "freshness" came out of their personality not out of functions of their office

forest magnet
cinder badger
#

As the seats on the Convocation were given to those best suited for the roles they represent, this implies that Azem had a bit of wanderlust, was generally a helpful person and was gifted in combat. They preferred to solve the problems they were to encounter by their own hand, rather than referring it to their colleagues in the Convocation, and more often than not gathered friends and allies from the local area to assist them.

obsidian pagoda
#

he definitely tried to solve the world's problems

forest magnet
#

Seems like helping others was in line with with duties of the office

#

so

#

idk where you're getting that non-interventionist thing from

inner kite
#

We don't get any detailed info about duties of their office except for "gaining knowledge of wider world", we get info about what they did. Which may or may not be the same. It's my own speculation based on Amaurot lore so far that they were closed up society, and azem's job was gathering info without intervening

obsidian pagoda
#

From the short story, Emet and Elidibus didn't seem to care much that he tried to stop the volcano, only that the reason for it was kinda dumb lol

cinder badger
#

The convocation preferred to just watch the events of the volcano eruption unfold. Azem however chose to take action to prevent it because of tasty grapes that grew in that area

#

An action that Emet was disappointed with.

I'm only wondering how we'll be able to breathe on the moon

forest magnet
#

because he was a kid

forest magnet
#

problem solved

unborn lantern
#

oh, cools

cinder badger
#

Elidibus was a kid who thought Azem was cool and wanted to be just like them.

forest magnet
#

what Elidibus' qualification is i don't even know

#

that's the biggest question is

#

why tf they put a kid on the convocation

cinder badger
#

He was a little man with a big heart Maybe

unborn lantern
#

Google it

#

problem solved

inner kite
#

Perhaps

cinder badger
#

But it is said the convocation doesn't just slap people in a seat without any reason they usually have something in their personality that qualifies them for the position

obsidian pagoda
cinder badger
#

Which is why Azem got the seat they did. It's implied they had a bit of Wanderlust

obsidian pagoda
#

Maybe Eli was really good at PR, being an emissary and all

forest magnet
#

couldn't they get someone older

obsidian pagoda
#

Honestly not sure, short of being a kid genius I guess

#

kinda like the Twins

cinder badger
#

But he wasn't the way he was because it was his station he was put on his station because of the way he was

forest magnet
#

definitely not a kid genius

unborn lantern
#

Bigger mystery is why is his robe different from everyone else! CapooTantrum

forest magnet
#

i don't think

inner kite
#

What do you think then

obsidian pagoda
cinder badger
#

It had nothing to do with Duty it had everything to do with who he was and how he did things

obsidian pagoda
#

that's just his uniform

unborn lantern
#

Hmm..

inner kite
#

Perhaps something to do with kids naivity and affinity towards goodness, but then they could have chosen any kiddo

unborn lantern
#

The end was coming, and almost everyones dead.. so they chose whoever they could find and it happened to be elidibus

cinder badger
#

Elidibus was Emissary. So something about him.

#

Wasn't it Azem who was actually concerned that Elidibus was too young for a seat?

unborn lantern
#

not to mention short

inner kite
#

Think it was implied someone was, but they never stated who

forest magnet
#

uh i don't believe so

#

I only remember that Logrif was supposed to be Speaker

inner kite
#

Wasnt logrif supposed to be zodiark's heart ? Speaker's office was unrelated function

#

Or did I miss something

cinder badger
#

It's never actually said he was a child just that he was the youngest in the convocation so they refer to him as youth or young man

#

Given that ancients for practically immortal and we don't understand how their aging works we don't know exactly what is considered a "child"

inner kite
#

Considering how tiny he is after wol trial don't believe he had many years under his belt

forest magnet
#

relatively speaking

cinder badger
#

Again we don't understand how their aging process works

inner kite
#

True

cinder badger
#

It could be that to them 500 years old is still a kid

inner kite
#

Wol size is considered a child tho lol

obsidian pagoda
#

well yeah cause they're all like 3x our height, or x10 if you're a Lala

craggy gale
inner kite
#

Eli is smaller than most wol races so he's a kid probs

cinder badger
#

But again he might have that size but he might still be 100 years old

inner kite
#

*sorry was a kid

cinder badger
#

So yes in their mind he's a kid but you would still have a hundred years of experience

inner kite
#

Certainly ascian eli has thousands of years already

forest magnet
#

he still has the naiveity of a kid

obsidian pagoda
#

Ascian Eli? I wouldn't say that

cinder badger
#

It says "Elidibus earned his peers' respect despite their initial impression of him, Elidibus tending to overwork himself and seeming too kind for his position."

forest magnet
#

he was an Azem stan

#

to the point where he literally LARP'd as us

#

for the final battle

obsidian pagoda
#

Ascian Eli isn't really naive, but he has degrading memory and kinda gets really unstable towards the end

cinder badger
#

He admired all the other members of the convocation

forest magnet
#

He admired us the most tho

obsidian pagoda
#

Elidibus is most definitely an Ascian

cinder badger
#

Emet found it both endearing and embarrassing

obsidian pagoda
#

Basically they just cringe cause Eli is the youngest and does young people things like looking up to his seniors

cinder badger
#

Loghrif was supposed to be the first Sacrifice, Zodiarks heart

unborn lantern
#

maybe ancients, amourotians age differently?

forest magnet
#

they're immortal

#

So

#

for the sake of comparison

#

we'll compare them to Dragons

#

who take a few centuries to come of age

cinder badger
#

There's examples in all sorts of Games books and TV

inner kite
gaunt star
#

Elidibus in the JP text is referred to with a term that specifically means young man as opposed to actual child/adolescent

#

He's still way younger/less experienced than the rest but not an actual child

#

More like a grad student being put on a UN council or something

inner kite
#

So he was short, since wol who is taller than him gets to be called a child

cinder badger
#

@gaunt star correct

#

@inner kite no different than a 40 year old still calling a 20 year old "kid"

inner kite
#

Or perhaps it's a matter of localization/translation

inner kite
cinder badger
#

Maybe that was their way

gaunt star
#

I don't think Elidibus as he appears after being given the mega-yeet at the top of CT should be taken as an accurate depiction of his actual appearance

cinder badger
#

@gaunt star that could also be a possibility

inner kite
#

Emet stayed the same size curiously

obsidian pagoda
#

Is it more that he's the size of a hyur youth cause that was the last form he took?

cinder badger
#

Also he was on his knees when we knelt down before him so maybe he looks different when standing upright

gaunt star
#

He's also portrayed as sort of a foil for G'raha, who is 24 at the time of the CT raids

#

i would had punched the tiny ghost elidibus

cinder badger
#

The rains have ceased and we have been blessed with another beautiful day

unborn lantern
#

freakin hurt my catboy again

#

i'll rough him up

inner kite
#

Baby eli nooo

unborn lantern
#

almost got beat by a kid

#

no wonder he ran away from zenos

#

zenos is daddy

cinder badger
#

A young man

unborn lantern
inner kite
#

Is a boy a younger man ?

cinder badger
#

No he's a boy

gaunt star
#

A boy is a younger young man

unborn lantern
#

it would had been more impactful if they used a kids voice aswell

#

because a kid with a deep voice

#

is sus

inner kite
#

Ok elidibus is younger young man

cinder badger
#

Get my axe boy

unborn lantern
#

i'd cry 10x harder

inner kite
#

Ditto

cinder badger
#

But it was established that he's not a kid that he's actually just a youth or young man

#

That is what they referred to him as

#

They did not refer to him as a child so therefore he is not a boy he is a young man

inner kite
#

Kinda think that's just localization

cinder badger
#

Who originally wrote the script

inner kite
#

But that's your opinion and I respect it

cinder badger
#

A Japanese company

#

Their "localization" is the original version

unborn lantern
#

maybe elidibus

#

was a lalafell

#

in robe

gaunt star
#

The first lalafell....

inner kite
#

They changed haurchefant completely, so my version is the english one unfortunately
