        No, it was the auracite that did that. The Heart of Sabik was the crystal Athena created after studying the auracite that she put her memories into. It has a huge amount of aether in it but it's not the alien space rock/auracite.

        I think that works as an explanation.

        The "real" reason was they hadn't thought that far ahead when they wrote it so some things just get retconned. But it's a small enough retcon, especially since Laha definitely did go mad.

          Yeah writing that Lahabrea's soul is in tatters at that point and he's basically just a machine that enacts its duty is really saving them with this story they definitely didn't frantically make up along the way. You can handwave away basically anything he said.

    I think Athena is the worst 8-man final boss so far from a presentation standpoint. Bahamut, Alexander and Omega all look awesome, Alexander has my favorite moment in the entire game with him sending adds to the past to kill you in a cutscene. Eden's promise is a bit less cool in my opinion, but it does have you protecting Gaia's memories. Athena is kinda boring in comparison.

      He wipes his ass excellently.

      So like, the Heart of Sabik was taken from another planet right? Lahabrea says nobody except from Athena knows where its from, and he reckons its not from Aetherys. Maybe connected to wherever the frick Altima came from?

      It's all but outright stated to be from Ultima or at least Ultima's planet (you can even comment that it sounds like it's from Ultima if you've done Ivalice). The datamined theme from P12S part 2 is even Ultima's theme.

    I really love how this game solves problems with things that were already established in the lore in a way that makes you think about how you didn't see it coming. You need to go to the 13th's moon, so you use the Tower of Babil, made to transport Aether to the moon, to open a voidgate there, and then you can even use Zodiark's seal to stop voidsent from coming to this side. I think it's neat.

      I definitely do not mind their ability to use preexisting items and locations in lore instead of inventing everything out of whole cloth every new patch story, I'm just shocked at how easily they seem to achieve these things. It's very practical but also boring problem solving. Have to defeat Zeromus in the 13th to get the dragon's soul back, cool makes sense. Ward that keeps people from becoming voidsent can't deal with zodiark voidsent, ok we'll find some way to strengthen it with alchemy again probably. Not much to theorycraft.

    • 10 months ago
      Anonymous

      A lot of problems could be solved any which way, they could have simply come up with another way to deal with incoming voidsent (if anything restoring the wrecked brands seemed almost too easy only requiring Shtola and the alchemists’ presence), but it is still neat to tie things in with established plot elements. The real reason why the seal was needed was to have a reason why Zeromus doesn’t start wrecking shop until the next patch despite existing as of right now, anyway.

      • 10 months ago
        Anonymous

        Well they did say the ward was pretty hastily set up. They are pretty sure Zeromus could probably break through as it is right now. It's more the fact that it needs time to fully coalesce before it can go that they have time right now.

        They are usually pretty straight forward in the expac announcement trailers. HW trailer let us know we were going to ishgard, announcement SB trailer let us know we were going to Ala Mhigo, announcement ShB trailer let us know we were going to the First, and announcement EW trailer let us know we were going to the moon (which meant Zodiark). We'll likely get something pretty concrete.

            It was bizarre that WoL witnesses what's basically Laha's villain origin story and then hears Elidibus talking about how he'll keep Laha in line if he starts to stray from morality despite the fact we know he definitely does not.

        How is mystic knight paladin? It would be more of a DPS class. Combine multiple elements with sword skills. Paladin is a cross between melee and holy magic, but they don't directly interact. It's either sword skills or holy spells.

      All she will do is get a way to syphon Light to the Void. She made it explicitly clear that she is no closer to shard hopping and the current method only works because the void is fricked up enough to be an easy anchor point. I assume we will have to travel to the first in 6.5 and talk to Ryne (not gaia since she is raid story and can never be in an MSQ) to redirect the aether flow or something.

        Well he doesn't have future vision and I doubt we're going to go to the past again and see him.

      Maybe recovering all his memories now that he returned to the Aetherial Sea? The ones between his time spent with us as Themis and eventually being defeated in 5.3.

          I think he just quietly surrendered in a cave somewhere and waited for the sundering, personally.

          I feel like Erichtonios kind of gave us a clue. Saving people and killing monsters for the most part. Sure he was talking about us as in the sundered Azem, the WoL, but the story has time and time made it clear that we are very alike, so I suspect that's what the Azem was doing.

          How Emet, Laha and Elidibus avoided being sundered is another unanswered question, though not one likely to ever be addressed I think

            Doesn't Venat mention she tried to spare Emet since she knew he had to live and that brought Elidibus and Lahabrea in the avoiding too.

            Somehow the void is a big enough place to have several unrelated super evil conquer the source plots going on at any time but also small enough that they all separately involve the same 4 people over thousands of years.

      Isn't Lavos a cicada? Also, I think I've had enough of major MSQ villains being references to other Final Fantasy games. Ultima Weapon and Shinryu were fine, since they're recurring entities. Thordan is Knights of the Round and Emet-Selch is Hades, but those summons had no lore attached to them, so giving them actual character was fine.

      But then we just get "Amon from FF3" and "Golbez from FF4" and it feels weird since those characters were actual people involved in wholly different plots. I mean, imagine if Sephiroth suddenly showed up and was involved in the MSQ. Shit would be weird.
