Shut the frick up. You FFXIVgays are annoying.
Go back
"ZODIARK STANCE" is my favorite new meme from this game's moronic community.
Jesus christ
oh my fricking god lmao
The dude is seething hard in the reddit thread lol
This is the cringiest shit I have ever seen in my entire life.
>guy just wants to draw edge
>NOOOO FRICKING CRINGE
Do Hydaelyngays really...?
>Guy just wants to draw cringe
>guy just wants to draw edge
no, they were a huge fricking homosexual about it and were arguing they wrote a better story than the game depicted and were acting morally superior and shitting on anyone who didnt like it. frick off with your revisionist history you living wojak.
Now that people are making fun of him for it, he got all of his ESL FC friends to defend it and cry "Copyright Infringement" and how they're "Gonna sue Ganker"
I looked in to it, seems to me the guy was saying "I'm a shit writer and didn't make any good arguments, I just wanted to draw Zodiark trance lol."
Yep, he's mad.
The more I read this, the more hilariously bad and inaccurate it gets.
>In what way would telling Minfilia the truth about the sundering be even remotely relevant to the task she was chosen for? And why would she need to know?
>The frick does he mean "someone's not bothered to prevent it"? The entire point of Hydaelyn using Minfilia was to help mitigate and hold against it in the first place.
The Ascians as they were, were not our friends and brothers. They're past selves were friends to the unsundered Azem. The frickers they became was entirely on them and they had to be stopped. Especially Lahabrea
Hell, Lahabrea shouldn't eben be considered a friend in the slightest. This entire thing is stupid, woefully inaccurate and missing out on several points, and is just plain edgy. I'd want my WoL to knock some sense into this gay.
Minfilia did think Hydaelyn was a real god, that's why she followed the instruction to throw herself into the Flow and be a meat-puppet.
we're also not Azem in the first place any more than Amon was actually Hermes
I mean Amon literally refers to himself as Hermes in the cutscene after his boss battle in the Altiascope.
He repeatedly refers to Hermes in the third person in his death speech. He acknowledges that he was Hermes in a past life, and retains his memories, but also makes it clear that he is not Hermes.
We can also thank the revived Empror Xande for that
Fixed version.

Yes
Its not an asian concept that if you never suffer in any capacity and know naught but bliss it becomes bland. you cannot savor the sweetness of victory without the bitterness of defeat anon. This is basic ass philosophy.
>you must be reduced to a quadriplegic moronic imitation of yourself incapable of doing anything or you are incapable of appreciating life and its difficulties
Just the process of procuring sustenance and turning it into consumable nutrients is already enough of a pain in the ass even at the best of times to qualify as a struggle, let alone once you begin to pursue its optimization or variety of choices it represents.

Not to mention it's shit, I originally wanted us to have to fight zodiark and hydaelyn, (not in a mock prove your worth way), how they did it was good. This is just edgy I hate God cause bad exists writing.
she's a tragic heroine that did literally everything right, why does this upset people? the ancients got munched on by their own creations like fricking morons so its not like anything valuable was lost when their society exploded from Meteions sad beams
>she's a tragic heroine that did literally everything right, why does this upset people?
Unironically because she's a woman.
sure this is copyright violation. Doesn't matter if you found it on Ganker, it's a modified version of the original artwork without the artist's knowledge or consent that you're reposting.
LMFAO FFXIVgays are some of the most sensitive people... They're gonna sue Ganker guys!
How will the anonymous hacker ever recover?
God I hope Ganker doesn't lost the trial! That'd be awful!
>venat... le evil!!! le bad!!! le hitler!!!
What sort of mental illness is this?
Their entire problem with Venat centres around the fact that they're massive Ancient fanboys who headcannon'd Hydaelyn as evil due to Shadowbringers, and when not only their headcannon was proven to be wrong in Endwalker, but Venat was revealed to be Hydaelyn and singlehandedly yeeted the Ancients out of the story, they got super mad and are still to this day coping and seething over her.
They make bogus arguments that "Venat committed genocide" (which is not only not ture as shown by the Nier crossover recently which confirmed the Ancients didn't die from the sundering, but the story never even remotely suggests it was genocide). Meanwhile they completely ignore or excuse Emet and the rest of the ancients actions (they unironically think the Ancients mass-sacrificing themselves to feed Zodiark was justifiable as well as Emet's genocides of entire worlds because it was "for a good reason"). Somehow in their minds the writers were justifying genocide with Venat.
Not to mention FFXIV has a long history of making us sympathize and outright be forgive people who've committed heinous atrocities (Gauis, Yotsuyu, Emet, Fordola, Nero, just off the top of my head). But Venat does similar and they lose their fricking minds.
They're just giga-ancient simps who are mad Venat singlehandedly ensured the Ancients are gone from the story and are eternally seething at her over this, despite the fact that she's now super-dead, meanwhile Emet gets to be reborn depite everything he's done.
I want porn of her
>They make bogus arguments that "Venat committed genocide" (which is not only not ture as shown by the Nier crossover recently which confirmed the Ancients didn't die from the sundering, but the story never even remotely suggests it was genocide).
>In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:
>Killing members of the group;
>Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
>Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
>Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
>Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
The only thing you listed that applies is the 2nd one, and only if one considers sundering to be mental/physical harm.
That being said since this event happened to all of reality it was not specifically targeted at any specific group, I am not sure it counts as genocide.
Since the suffering that would result from the sundering was intended to be a long term positive the goal was not to destroy or damage or wipe anyone out. Its more along the line of amputation because of gangrene or something.
>Its more along the line of amputation because of gangrene or something.
amputating a limb doesn't reduce someones lifespan by 99% and make them moronic.

huh? where can I read about this, the frick?
You can watch it on youtube but you don't even need to. In Qitana Ravel, Emet-Selch himself tells you that immediately after the Sundering everyone was still there but that their memories were totally fricked. I don't get how anyone ever thought the Sundering killed all the Ancients when that's not what the Sundering was ever implied to have done. It just fractured everything into 14 equal pieces.
it's in the shitty Nier gacha game
Why FFXI makes even the hydaelyn story much much better?
in English, doc
>light and darkness fight
>light won and shattered the world
I never thought about it but it sounds like shit. It sounds lame af contrary to how Promathia died.
Promathia didn't die, that's the point. He was fractured along with Vana'diel and sealed away just like Zodiark.
neither did zodiark
>light won and shattered the world
This is exactly what happens in FFXI except that they weren't fighting, they were in love and Altana refused to let him and Vana'diel die.
It was told much better

Gods are not pussies who off themselves when they face problem
Gods cant be hurt let alone eradicated by their own creation
Gods know everything, Ascians had no idea what was happening and thought it was divine punishment for their sins meaning they had a god, zodiark in this case
Have you ever read any pagan mythology in your life?
Then it is not a god but a being with special powers as godhood is earned and no pussy deserves it
Sorry kiddo, not my fault you are so dumb you relate divinity with being a weak gay
yeah yeah there's only one true christ god blah blah blah the pope claims lineage to peter who was a repeat nonbeliever of jesus
>godhood is earned
Would you worship a being just because it has otherwordly powers?
Why do you think a weak homosexual with some fancy magic is worthy of worship?
well he has magic and i don't
stupid hypothetical
>I worship rich people because they have billions and I dont
>rich people have magic
No but they have powers you dont and may never ever reach even 1% of it in your entire life
Money is power anon
Gods don't just have otherworldly powers, they're a part of the natural order itself.
>godhood is earned
in what mythology????????
i mean ignore that homosexual but buddhism, hinduism, shintoism, animism, catholicism if you want to piss catholics off
There are gods in those religions that earn there are divinity but the vast majority are simply "born" (for lack of a better term) that way. Especially in Hinduism and Shintoism.
Sure. But that guy asked where it happened at all.
Excellent point! Piss off israelites too.
>But that guy asked where it happened at all.
No, that's not what I was asking. I was pointing out the ridiculousness of the original guy implying that godhood was something that is always earned.
Yeah that's dumb, but it's more true in FF than most settings.
At some point you have to shrug and let morons be morons.
Pretty obvious, but also uncaring. He wants his goddamn fight and it's only by the very end that he SAYS he'd let you go if you truly wanted.
>He wants his goddamn fight and it's only by the very end that he SAYS he'd let you go if you truly wanted.
Did you forget about the part right after Zodiark when he lets you go because he only wants to fight you if your heart is completely in it? It's the exact same thing.
Look man, I'm tired. I'm tired of fighting and I'm tired of Zenos and I'm kinda glad they're both over. We gave him the fight, and as much as I enjoyed it too I just wanted it to be over with him.
I'm tired.
See you soon!
thanks
I mean same. Not sure what this post has to do with the previous conversation but as someone whose favorite character is Zenos I also hope he never comes back in any form.
>catholicism if you want to piss catholics off
Judaism too, in the case of Enoch ascending as Metatron and taking a throne beside YHWH.
There are plenty of cases of heroes earning godhood through their actions across all mythologies. But that can only be granted by actual natural gods who received their godhood just by virtue of their existence.
It depends what you let fall under the purview of the word "earned", but lesser beings attaining divinity is an element present, by numbers, in more separate mythologies than there are the "supremely omnipresent root deity" kind.
see
>But that can only be granted by actual natural gods who received their godhood just by virtue of their existence.
Axiomatically untrue of any mythology where The Absolute is an impersonal force rather than a supreme individual, as bestowment requires it to be an act of Will.
>Gods are not pussies who off themselves when they face problem
jesus christ LAMO
Last night I was reading about the god Attis who broke his vow of chastity to Cybele and got mindfricked into castrating himself and then either tried to or succeeded in committing suicide depending on the telling.
The 24 man raid story is going to be about exploring the differences between godlike beings like the Ancients and actual Gods
The Twelve aren't actual gods
>he didn't pick up on how Nald'thal is Hades+Hythlodaeus and how Azeyma is Venat
>and actual Gods
no, seriously, what the frick are they
they clearly came after the ancients since they're derived from them (varyingly, given that like a third of the pantheon is venat and/or azem), but they're not primals so shouldn't be born from mortal worship? what, are eorzeans just fricking special and they get to have real gods? they probably can't just be auspices of those ancients' original sundered fragments because ES and Venat weren't part of the sundering.
Sapient versions of the Twelve Wonders from Elpis. They're aetherial barometers which detect and then regulate extreme imbalances.
>Can create literally anything that they can imagine
so can the sundered humans, you imagine something, use your aether to give it shape, and voila, you created something. that's literally how arcanists create their carbuncles, and how summoners can change the appearance of their egis while keeping their original property
>yeah i didn't kill them i just shattered their souls into 14 pieces
>also they're not themselves but i didn't genocide my race
lol
lmao
correct
Shattering people into weakened fragments of themselves so that they and any other life in existence can be assured of continued existence does not constitute genocide, Since the entire point of genocide is that it prevents that group from ever existing in any form, or aims to attempt to achieve that.
>yeah you're not yourself but i didn't kill you trust me
Damn brainlets are so fricking stupid. Having no concept of the self lmao. Keep thinking that. Tbqh tell it to your friends also.
You are the person who is trying to argue the metaphysics of a fictional universe with literal magic. If Sundering does not equal death or the loss of the self is canon, then thats how it works, because we are not talking about actual reality.
But on that point, What do you even mean by concept of self in this particular instance. Sundering would create 14 diminished parts of a person. They would all equally be and not be that person. The mechanics of this are not explained. So yes as long as the original Person is not removed and just diminished that is no more death, than getting old is death, or getting a debilitating disease is death, you are still you, just with less capability.
>which is not only not ture as shown by the Nier crossover recently which confirmed the Ancients didn't die from the sundering, but the story never even remotely suggests it was genocide
Holy cope you're braindead.
If killing the ancients, sorry "sundering" them wasn't genocide then it equally isn't genocide when the ascians rejoined worlds, as in both instances the souls still exist, but the memories and personality are all but gone.
I guarantee its the EXACT same people who think Rhea from Fire Emblem is le bad and that Edelgard is le good. This sort of mentality only has overlap in the most moronic, tumblr-infected minds.
Soulframe better
https://www.reddit.com/r/SoulFrame
The "Venat is Evil" crowd (who are all massive Ascian simps which this comic is evidence of) remind me so much of the same people from WoW who super fanboy'd over the Night Elves and Lordaeron. The guys who would endlessly seethe over how "Blizzard butchered the Night Elves" or how "Lordaeron should be an Alliance city".
Like the same type of arguments and the personalities of these people is almost virtually identical.
>Blizzard butchered the Night Elves
They did though. Literally turned into fertilizer.
Damn bird, needs correction.
where have all the npc lewdposers gone
they keep disappearing
Dont care but I like her figure and breasts.
Emet was a mistake
I really enjoy how the people who say "Venat could've told the convocation" completely forget that, not only would it be dangerous and jeopradize the timeline, but it would potentially make things worse. Because for starters, she doesn't have any proof to make them believe her claims. We, the WoL, had to go back to the present, and the memories of: Hermes, Hythlodeus, and Emet-Selch were altered and cannot be restored until they return to the lifestream. But mkst inportantly, even if the convocation did believe her, they would've doubled down even harder. Emet-Selch explicitely says that he would not regret nor hesitate to do the actions of his future self. He would not forsake all the sundered ancients and would do anything for them.
>I really enjoy how the people who say "Venat could've told the convocation" completely forget that, not only would it be dangerous and jeopradize the timeline, but it would potentially make things worse
These morons are unironically arguing that this would be fine because it "would create another AU timeline like in ShB where the ancients survived".
That's even worse because it doesn't fix anything that happened in the present, and completely assumes that somehow the Final Days wouldn't occur, without even considering the massive consequences of such a decision. The only why it worked in ShB was because it was a last ditch effort where everything was absolutely fricked, and they had to abuse every single loophole possible for even the chance to go back in time and fix things without causing a paradox. Even then, it wasn't guaranteed that the future would be saved, they just had to hold on to blind desperation and hope.
Was it ever actually explain why ShB wasn't a timeloop but Alexander was?
Something something alexander + omega powers or some shit like that
Was it ever actually explained why only the WOL can travel to and from the first or HOW he can when nobody else can with their body and soul intact?
Because the Exarch actually summoned the WoL correctly. He fricked up with everyone else.
Also Hildibrand did it too and he's fine. And Hildibrand is canon.
hildibrand was out of his body just like the scions that was the entire plot point moron.
Then the fricking mask kid from Warring Triad. Why are you acting like such a homosexual over basic b***h plot points?
>speedreader
Unukalhai was transported by an Ascian, who are experts at hopping between the worlds.
Expert who say they can only transport the mind and soul, not the body. Same with the Warriors of Dankness in HW.
because if you're forgetting the most basic plot points how can anyone take you seriously. Unuk was saved from the 13th by elidibus, and it took the combined effort of you, beq lugg, and urianger to get him to the First.
Pretty sure that's because he was the actual target of the Exarch's magick rather than the other scions. Also, pretty sure it is explained as well
I can't remember, but even Emet-Selch was surprised because not even he could do that. The Crystal Tower isn't even suppossed to be capable of doing what it did. Alexander was a time loop because the core events that caused it were directly caused by what fixed it. Thereby fixing itself entirely while not moving out of place. The Crystal Tower crossed out of the cycle completely.
Crystal Tower was Alexander+Omega. Omega was likely the X factor that confused Emet, otherwise time-traveling summons would be ez-pz.
Not to mention that Gaia already can manipulate time, albeit on a much smaller scale and likely only in short bursts.
Omega was part of the system used in the Twinning, which let it cross dimensions as well as time. No other instance of time travel also crossed dimensions.
who says it isnt
crackpot theory time
we've got a perfectly good garlond ironworks and crystal tower
memory magic is a mjaor plot device at this point
i give it even odds a later patch has g'raha brainwashing himself to believe black rose really happened and sending himself back to the first to prevent a paradox
the first venat never met us but came up with hydaelyn independently
the first time, black rose really did happen
ff14 is a massive time loop, a la ff1
maybe a later patch will have us finally break the cycle

The real reason Zenos is so obessesed with you is because He's jealous but if you play the localized version you won't know it
I'd say it's pretty fricking obvious in the english version that he sees you as a version of himself that is actually able to understand others and enjoy the small details of life, unlike him.
>I feel like alot of people in this thread are handwaving the absolute horrors wrought by Venat in stating "The WoL would never ever act this way in a million years to her" especially after he traveled to Elpis. What Venat did is essentially what Leto the 2nd did in Dune to follow his "Golden Path" she killed millions upon millions of men women and children ancients for the sake of her mission that none agreed with. Before its said sundering was raping and killing them as it was an explicit violation of bodily autonomy and the death and dissappearance of functioning aware conscious experiences to never be a fully formed person again. Venat committed Genocide on her kind and nothing you say will make it not so. While I respect Venat for her decision and the necessity of her quest to beat Meteion as I cant see another way to beat her it was still a fricked thing to do. Sorry OP you have to deal with Venat simps in this thread.... your comic presents a very real and important perspective the WoL could have especially after experiencing ancient society.
Everyone had their reasons to do what they did.
Why does the Fujo kill off every attractive female character?
Venat turned us into animals and lalafells, she is the most evil character of the entire series.
Come and feel up some of this evil.

we know for a fact it didn't "kill" anyone though. it just split them. it's a false comparison to say one being split into 14 means they're dead. the soul still exists spread across the 14.

Stop posting this stupid fricking thread you fricking homosexual.
Better to die fulfilled than become a beast
>the plenty are able to die to ra-la
>I can't
its not fricking fair
Redditors have no critical thinking skills and do not take in account of the following:
>Zodiark's creation was flawed from the start, as he was afflicted with Tempering (likely caused by Lahabrea in Pandaemonium)
>Zodiark was a bandaid, not a solution. His entire existence was to cover up the planet so Meteion's song wouldn't hit it directly
>Zodiark could never be restored 100% anyway due to the 13th void frickup
>There is zero evidence that Zodiark would/could revive the dead
>Thus Zodiark was a pyramid scheme with a time limit, it was inevitably going to fail and the planet was going to be megafricked unless something drastic was done.
To be fair, Emet says they don't need all of Zodiark to resummon him with enough power for their wants.
>for their wants.
Which would be to just "revive" the dead. Then what? You're back at square one and Zodiark still needs to feed because you're tempered. Time to sacrifice again!
Don't forget that "reviving" the dead through a Primal has been shown time and again to be a bad idea. It doesn't revive them from the lifestream, it only reanimates their corpse to be a lifeless puppet. It's not actually the person, it's just a corpse stuffed with aether.
>It doesn't revive them from the lifestream, it only reanimates their corpse to be a lifeless puppet.

>emet and hythlo specifically say they're going to go back to the lifestream because they're done with living

???
That was because of Azem's crystal. Remember, it also happensd when figthing with Elidibus. Also Hydaelyn herself blessdd that crystal with the last of her power
>Hydaelyn herself blessdd that crystal
all she did was put the rest of her aether into it because WoL wouldn't have enough alone to bring back two ancients
the scions weren't dead you moron. they transformed their aetherical forms in the space around you to lay you a path. its explicitly stated that they're actively fighting to keep the way forward for you the whole time. all the crystal does is rematerialize them after you find a way to stabilize the area because if you cant do that they eventually run out of will to continue the struggle and THEN die. They "sacrifice" themselves putting faith in you to find a way to stabilize the area knowing they can be called back if you do so. yshtola explicitly tells you this.
You people are moronic.
UT just scattered their essence, it didn't actually kill them. Plus if they were actually dead how were they pulled from the Lifestream when it's literally across the universe?
Why the frick are you asking me? I literally just said they're not in the fricking lifestream you reject.
Not my fault you skipped cutscenes, dumbfrick.
More like you skipped my entire post you dense baboon-adjacent fricking trog.
I said A, you come out screaming I'm saying B. Frick yourself, illiterate c**trag
You're so upset. Go outside.
why does it matter if they were in the lifestream specifically? if your corporeal form is gone and your aether is scattered you're dead.
They weren't, Hythlodaeus had no reason to stay and Emet refused to live on because of Venat.
The Scions' souls remained in Ultima Thule, they only lost their bodies, so it's not the same even if he were right.
that could reasonably be justified by Emet and Hythlodaeus only recently returning to the Lifestream
the souls of the scions were still hanging around in the massive sea of dynamis you were in, that's why they could be put back into their bodies
it's still a copout I agree but it has a lore reason
It would probably work in this case. Since we see all the souls of the people who where sacrificed still being bound and hanging around Zodiark on the moon. None of them have been allowed to actually join the lifestream.
>tempered says they're fine with resummoning their primal no matter what
wow
It's not like they were summoning him im the current state.
>As he was afflicted with tempering
Emet lies to you when he says he's tempered to rationalize all the awful shit hes done. He is not tempered. Zodiark does not temper. The lopporits even confirm this when they mention at most you'de feel is a small tug from something on the level of zodiark.
>Zodiark does not temper
Pandaemonium is going to reveal the origins of Tempering and show that Zodiark was cursed with it.
Im sure it absolutely will show the origins of tempering but it wont be a part of zodiark.
>The lopporits even confirm this when they mention at most you'de feel is a small tug from something on the level of zodiark.
Sundered beinfs would feel a slight tug.
Aether-rich beings like the Ancients would be pulled towards Dark aether simply by proximity.
Do you have a single bit of proof to back up that statement?
Emet isn't tempered. He acts more than once in ways that are contrary to Zodiark and his goals. Lahabrea does too. Emet goes the extra step and even helps you kill the heart of Zodiark which shouldn't be possible if he was tempered. Plus the brainwashing aspect of tempering didn't exist at the time even if it would have pulled on them harder than sundered.
Anon, just play the game.

>calling out headcanon when you can't back up any evidence that tempering existed when zodiark was around
Livingway said that on a being the scale of Zodiark you'd feel a slight tug
And also said that the brainwashing aspect of tempering is something only included in later primals, which also requires the desire to pull other people into the summoner's way of thinking in order for the effect to activate.
Yes, and? Provide evidence an unsundered would be tempered by zodiark merely existing. Tempering is not innate to summoning homosexual, it was an additional thing the Ascians DELIBERATELY added to the summoning techniques they taught the beast tribes to further their plans.
Livingway said that the fervent desire to convert people to one's beliefs was the nasty bit added to creation magic, not whatever crap you are pretending she said.
here's the cutscene with a timestamp:
?t=494
please google 'head canon'
>Livingway said that the fervent desire to convert people to one's beliefs was the nasty bit added to creation magic
>"Beings thus created are instilled with the selfsame desire, and use their powers to enthrall people-starting with the summoner"
Are you fricking moronic? The fervent desire to convert IS TEMPERING. Adding that bit TO THE PRIMAL is what MAKES THEM TEMPER THINGS, you utter fricking troglodyte holy shit.
>i'm going to change the established definition of tempering in order to win an internet argument
Tempering is when your aetheric balance is shifted to the primal's element, your personal aether becomes stagnant AND you become susceptible to the primal's will, as per 5.4's "reviving the legacy'
The fervent desire to temper others was added later, as per Livingway
As such, tempering already existed before the 'fervent desire to temper others' was added to the mix.
i hope your parents die a slow painful death
Let's say you're right (you're not). Zodiark is a dark-aspected primal, so his aether is purely astral. If you were tilted toward his aspect then your aether could not stagnate.
so then Emet-Selch absolutely did and inarguably lied about being tempered since zodiark's element negates criteria for the condition
?t=560
shut the frick up. seriously. shut the frick up, you know NOTHING
Yes, that's how the tempering introduced by the Ascians to the sundered primal formula works.
just conveniently forgetting that the 'fervent desire to assimilate others into your belief' is a command planted into the new thrall and has nothing to do with the affect it has on your aether
you are changing the goal posts by saying that the primal has to conciously claim people, when Ramuh fricking didn't. you fricking homosexual, please go die
>just conveniently forgetting that the 'fervent desire to assimilate others into your belief' is a command planted into the new thrall
No, it's a command planted into the primal.
>"Beings thus created are instilled with the selfsame desire, and use their powers to enthrall people-starting with the summoner"
>Beings thus created
>are instilled
>with the selfsame desire
>and use their powers
>to enthrall people
you are arguing a definition of the term that the game itself uses differently. you're not more of an expert than the in game usage.
why does the game use the term 'tempering' if it existed before the fervent desire to add others to your belief? Tempering is just the aetheric unbalancing, not the desire to spread it to others
>but tempering doesnt do this
you are predicating this entire argument by assuming Emet-Selch is LYING about being tempered, which you have no evidence of, word of god says he was tempered to zodiark. you have no argument. you're a moron arguing for your headcanon.
>you're a moron arguing for your headcanon
oh the ironing.
>why does the game use the term 'tempering' if it existed before the fervent desire to add others to your belief?
The term didn't exist before then. The term tempering originally was used to refer to Ifrit's enthralled, and just became used as a general term for primal enthrallment later. Emet-Selch calls it tempering because that's the term you're familiar with.
so now you're arguing semantics. wonderful. 'it doesn't count because the ancients referred to it as aetheric corruption'
furthermore, you're using emet-selch as an expert on the topic when the basis of your argument is that he's lying to you about being tempered. if he's lying then, he's not a trustworthy source
>the ancients referred to it as aetheric corruption
>the allagans are suddenly considered ancients
What the frick lmao
Venat isn't an ancient now. fantastic
>no u
The video you linked with a timestamp was allagans talking about tempering. Not ancients.
>no u
Anon, you can't make an argument that relies on a word's definition and then accuse me of semantics when I tell you the definition is wrong.
the definition i presented is canonical. yours is bullshit you made up for the sake of argument
?t=478
"corruption" is a generic term in that context. There are dozens of ways aether can be corrupted that are not explicitly tempering.
>the definition i presented is canonical. yours is bullshit you made up for the sake of argument
lol now this is fricking cope. Anon, the term tempering originally referred to Ifrit's enthrallment. That's canonical fact. Just like Leviathan's enthrallment is called drowning and Ramuh's is called touching. Tempering just ended up becoming the general term later. It specifically refers to enthrallment.
yes. and enthrallment i never argued wasn't part of tempering.
my argument is that emet-selch used the term because he's enthralled to zodiark. tempering is then used to describe the victims of enthrallment from lakshmi, the queen, odin, eurekan primals, etc, thus tempering is the catch all for enthrallment to a primal.
the 'fervent desire to assimilate others to one's beliefs' is added after the fact.
Tempering already existed before the ascians started handing out bad acid. it doesn't matter what it was called then, because we're using the catch all term. Tempering == wanting to assimilate others into your beliefs. Its serving the primal.
The desire to assimilate others is added into the creation of the primal. the primal then wants to go out and claim new servants.
everything i have said is supported in game.
now, the attack on this argument is that Emet-Selch is lying.
1: what reason do we have to believe he's lying
2: has he knowingly lied to us before
there is simply no evidence to support the statement 'emet selch is lying about being tempered'
>what reason do we have to believe he's lying
He takes actions that he intends to result in the death of his god, which should be impossible.
>has he knowingly lied to us before
Yes, he lies before he tells you he's tempered, actually. When he claims that he believes the sundered aren't actually human, he's lying. We know he's lying because
>He was a patron of the arts and truly loved the arts of the sundered. Word of god from Oda says that he let the Ala Mhigans keep their anthem because he genuinely loved the song, and not because he was trying to demoralize them.
>He loved sundered in the past, the biggest and most recent example being his first son as Solus. And he grieved heavily when that son died.
Elidibus is not Zodiark. Elidibus himself referred to Zodiark as 'Lord', thus he sees him as seperate. The man who was sacrificed to become Zodiark ceased to exist, and then a primal of that man emerges later who becomes the Elidibus we know
>He takes actions that he intends to result in the death of his god
what part of putting down a separate primal has to do with hurting zodiark?
>Yes, he lies before he tells you he's tempered, actually. When he claims that he believes the sundered aren't actually human,
just because they made a song he liked doesn't mean he considered them human. him being sad about his son dying doesn't mean he doesn't consider them lesser
he claims to have been testing man's worthiness to exist the entire time, but that doesn't mean he thought it would ever actually happen. as such, its not a lie. its actions we don't have enough information to determine his motivation for, and they're not mutually exclusive
so emet-selch is lying about being tempered because he's tempered? did i read that right?
why would he have a coping mechanism if tempering worked the way you said it does? Nael van Darnus acted like a normal dude (lady) for 10 years while tempered to bahamut. tempering doesn't mean you're kowtowing to the god all the time, as per the less pious primals like ramuh and leviathan
we know tempering makes you serve the primal, but we don't know the exact specifics, or if there's room for interpretation on the tempered's part. there's also tiamat who was tempered by bahamut but certainly didn't do much to try and serve him while she was locked up for millenia.
>Elidibus is not Zodiark.
Come on, man.
>so emet selch is lying about being tempered because he's tempered? did i read that right
No, your reading comprehension regarding my posts is just as bad as the dialogue boxes in game apparently.
I said that emet is lying about being tempered to cope with the fact he is doing bad things. Throughout his story arc you learn things about him that demonstrably prove he does give a shit about the unsundered, and he even argues that he "tried to live among them" towards the finale. But he can justify his crusade to himself (or to you) by either delusionally believing himself to be tempered, or saying it enough times for it to maybe be true (what he actually does). He is not tempered.
>unsundered
i meant sundered frick me.
you're making several assumptions which require several extra working parts to make your statement true. your entire basis for emet-selch lying isn't supported by in game text or actions. your argument is based on your interpretation of his actions.
its a nice theory, but that is it at best, and at worst its wrong.
Yes. You killed Elidibus and Zodiark still existed. Elidibus referred to Zodiark as someone else. Elidibus the primal separated himself from the flesh-mech that Zodiark was created as and left him without a will. Elidibus was jumping around shards making heroes. Zodiark was stuck in a cage on the moon. Emet-Selch referred to them as different entities.
they are different beings. full stop. no argument. Elidibus may have come from Zodiark but you are not your mother because you came from her.
>You killed Elidibus and Zodiark still existed.
The empty shell remained because Elidibus removed himself from it. Elidibus is the heart of Zodiark, he IS Zodiark. The rest is just a shell that formed around that heart.
>Elidibus referred to Zodiark as someone else.
Yes, he sees himself as Elidibus. But Emet-Selch knows that the Elidibus standing in front of him is the transmuted heart of Zodiark. He knew that Elidibus was the heart of Zodiark, so he shouldn't have been able to even consider killing him.
are you your heart anon?
He WAS Zodiark at one point I'll allow. But since they were completely separate beings, Z not having its own will, Elidibus becoming a hero on the shards, them not having the same body, them not having the same soul. one died while the other survived.
you also mentioned that he was the 'heart of Zodiark' 3 times. if he were truly the exact same entity as zodiark, and we know from word of god that Zodiark's shards on the other shards of the world disappeared when we killed Zodiark, why did Elidibus' soul remain in the crystal tower and not likewise dissipate? surely the crystal tower isn't more powerful than a ward designed by a supreme deity to hold another supreme deity
>are you your heart anon?
No, but I'm not a magical being constructed around a crystal heart.
>them not having the same body, them not having the same soul.
The thing in the moon was the body, Elidibus was the soul. It was no different than the Scions leaving their bodies behind when they were on the First. Their souls are their selves.
and if you killed their slumbering bodies, like say, having their aether destabilize bad enough that krile had to babysit them, what would happen to the other half? they'd die.
elidibus' soul still existed within the crystal tower after zodiark was destroyed. as proposed, they are not the same being.
so are you saying that the crystal tower is better at holding a soul in place than the wards hydaelyn made?
Why would the wards of hydaelyn need to be compared? Elidibus is zodiarks soul. He's not as powerful as a fully formed zodiark which is what those wards were designed to do. Every ascian has been susceptible to white auracite at least temporarily. The crystal tower was literally compared to a massive white auracite by G'raha. Why would it not be able to contain a weakened Elidibus? You are literally grasping at straws you fricking loser. Just take the loss already.
Elidibus is separate from Zodiark. as i've stated several times and given several in game examples as to how they're separate.
them being one at one point == they're one now.
elidibus had a will and z doesn't, zodiark died and elidibus still remained. elidibus' own MO according to him was faith and prayer in heroes, but that isn't what sustained zodiark. they have separate forms
i'm afraid i don't understand. what am i not getting across. even if they are two halves of the same individual they're still different beings. elidibus and zodiark could be standing next to each other. people refer to them as separate beings. why am i not able to get this point across?
>elidibus had a will and z doesn't
That's because Elidibus WAS his will. He was Zodiark's soul.
>elidibus' own MO according to him was faith and prayer in heroes, but that isn't what sustained zodiark.
Elidibus was attracted to the faith in heroes because it was similar enough to the idea of salvation that Zodiark was summoned with. He needed a replacement faith, and heroes provide salvation.
>elidibus and zodiark could be standing next to each other. people refer to them as separate beings.
How people refer to them is irrelevant because they simply are two pieces of a single being. You wouldn't say that Hades is no longer Hades because he's not in his body anymore.
>That's because Elidibus WAS his will. He was Zodiark's soul.
WAS, thank you.
>Elidibus was attracted to the faith in heroes because it was similar enough to the idea of salvation that Zodiark was summoned with. He needed a replacement faith, and heroes provide salvation.
it provided him the power to go on, yes. but something else was sustaining zodiark. there had to have been something because even hydaelyn needed him to maintain the barrier. zodiark also couldn't have been feeding off of the same prayer
>How people refer to them is irrelevant because they simply are two pieces of a single being. You wouldn't say that Hades is no longer Hades because he's not in his body anymore.
but if his body was doing its own thing and his soul was doing another, and they had different names, and if one referred to the other half as a different being, i would think of them as separate beings yes. Ardbert and I are both Azem shards, arguably even more intimately connected than zodiark and elidibus (parts of the same soul versus a body and its soul) but no one would say we're the same guy
>doesnt even understand the simplest concepts of the lore such as that the crystal tower is a big antennae designed to absorb aether from dalamud and would thusly simultaneously function as a battery that holds said aether, and cannot understand why elidibus's aether would still be in said battery since no power was required until we do in fact need it and it burns up his soul in the process
Holy frick you are moronic.
>why did Elidibus' soul remain in the crystal tower and not likewise dissipate?
Forgot to address this point. But for the same reason I mention here
The same way an Ascian can abandon their flesh and keep on going regardless, Elidibus was the ejected soul of Zodiark.
>Elidibus is not Zodiark.
>there is simply no evidence to support the statement 'emet selch is lying about being tempered'
Other than the fact that the games story tells you that tempering did not exist until the ascians introduced it to summoning techniques to further their rejoining plans therefore any primals/eikons summoned before the introduction of that technique have no will or reason to temper. Which would include Zodiark, thus making it impossible for Emet to be telling the truth, and falls in line with his coping justification for the bad things he is doing.
>so now you're arguing semantics.
I'm not arguing semantics. You're the one who argued that tempering refers to aetheric imbalance and not to enthrallment. But you're wrong, because the term originally referred to Ifrit's enthrallment.
"Word of god" is Emet Selch himself who is coping the entire expansion and ends it with suicide by hero
>when Ramuh fricking didn't
Yes he did. The sylphs begged him for his "protection" so he gave it to them.
>when ramuh fricking didnt
He absolutely did willingly choose to temper them moron, he was the forest protector. Their tempering is also noticeably less severe than that of comparable victims like those of Ifrit and Titan. They are tempered to the primals will. The primals will is to protect the forest. There is zero indication his mere presence tempered them.
>Las Vegas Fan Fest Lore Panel 2014:
>Bayohne: “It has been noted in-game that Ramuh does not seek to temper people to gain followers in the way that Ifrit, Leviathan, and so on do. So why are there so many touched sylphs?”
>Fernehalwes: “It’s a little bit different from the other beast tribes. In the other tribes, they worship the primal so they summon it, then the primal goes, ‘I want more thralls!’ But Ramuh is a bit more laid back. He doesn’t want to control everyone and create a dominion where it’s just Ramuh and his followers. He’s a man of reason, he’s a judge.
>But the thing is, the Sylphs are a little bit crazy. Some of the Sylphs want a strong leader. They look at the other beast tribes and they see that they’re strong because they’ve been tempered or they’ve been drowned, and that gives them that connection with their primal. So you have sylphs that want that same thing. So some sylphs go to Ramuh and ask him to temper them, and he does. But the thing is, Ramuh doesn’t force it on other sylphs. So you have a group of sylphs who aren’t worried about summoning Ramuh and just want to live in peace and then there’s the other ones who believe they have to temper more sylphs.”
You lost buddy
The primal has to WILLINGLY CHOOSE to temper you moron. If the idea to temper you is not introduced into its summoning, it has no reason to fricking choose to temper you.
At no point during any other primal cutscene in the game, has tempering been shown to just passively happen to things around the primal. It always shows the primal choosing to temper them. This is demonstrated during at minimum, Ifrit, Titan, and Lakshmi cutscenes in both ARR and Stormblood. The Lakshmi one even has you playing as temper immune people blocking her attempts to temper others.
You're wrong, and a moron to boot with your homosexual reddit spacing.
Stop being a smug c**t you little homosexual moron. I moved no goalposts. Zodiark did not have the capacity to temper as it was not made with the instructions to do so. A primal has to willingly choose to do so, the game has established that it is an active thing a primal does, not a passive result of its presence. Therefore, not even accidental tempering is possible due to presence, which is the only arguable position you have for Zodiark being capable of tempering. You are objectively wrong, and unable to respectfully concede. have a nice day post haste.
im pretty sure i saw this exact thread before

literally never has any bearing on the plot other than being an excuse to give wol a stone that just explains how 8-man content works
>one of the most powerful ascians
its never once stated that azem is powerful. just that he was an adventuring autist just like you. it sets in stone that adventure and discovery and kindness/exploration is deep rooted in your very soul. it has nothing to do with power.
few ascians actually "fought" in the generic sense of the term so being glorified PR stooge for the convocation isn't exactly an indication of strength.
you mean before ShB.
ShB and EW has the Warrior of Light summon imaginary friends instead of just having them nearby to help fight
using Azem's crystal summons real friends
Did you seriously skip one of the best parts in the game? You're strong not only because of what you've been through and how far you've pushed yourself, but also because you're 8 times rejoined while everyone else is 7.

>Is down a personal tank cooldown compared to the other tanks because it has cover, wings and shield bash instead - three moves of extremely niche value - despite the cooldowns it does have being the same or worse then equivalent tank buttons
Incorrect: PLD has passive shield block, which is an additional form of mitigation the other tanks do not, and will never, have.
pld random blocking would maybe matter if boss auto attacks mattered, but they don't so instead it just never blocks when you need to block something
Ask me how I know you've never done anything beyond expert dungeons.
the fact that I do savage/ex is why I think paladin blocks sucks shit, everything the boss does will either kill you unless you actively mitigate it heavily (so you cant rely on random chance blocks), is an aoe that will require the healers to heal everyone (so even if you do block it didn't matter) or is something that will just kill you no matter how much mitigation you stack because you fricked up a mechanic
the blocking does help against boss autos, but every other tank can just do their 123 combo that heals them and laugh those off outside of very specific situations where you're probably just gonna start using actual mitigations again. sheltron is good. RNG blocking is a cope because you only have dumbass clemency to heal yourself pre 84 and then you find yourself using magic phase less often then the other 3 tanks use their heal combo
yeah and it effectively turns off every time you use sheltron
if sheltron increased your block strength nobody would be complaining, and don't point out knight's resolve because every tank got that

Does WAR really get cucked?
I'm interested
No.
No, she's interested for all of five seconds and all other parts are your job tutor's overt attraction to an au ra WAR and the au ra being tsundere about it.
yes, unironically
>see warrior girl that's into you and thinks you're the best
>sperg out and avoid her
>by the time you can reciprocate interest, she doesn't care about you anymore and spends her time "training" with gorge
canonical cucks unless you're a female character
a girl in the later warrior quests either has a crush on you or just a bit of a hero worship going on because you've been a better warrior then the quest npc since somewhere in the 40-50 range and she's also kind of an anime cliche so she acts like a b***h to gorge - who she actually likes - and is really nice to you
also her dad suggests you marry her because you're such a chad warrior but even if you say you're open to the idea she's very clearly against it, and then the warrior quest guy gets the wrong idea so it's mostly people seeing what they want to see

Feo Ul is fine, graha mentions her in the post game
Feo ul is still there
I think Venat is an excellent character. Her Hydaelyn design is beautiful and very Amano. I also liked how when in Elpis you learn that Venat didn't agree with the "death is beautiful ending after your purpose is done" and yet that is exactly how she dies.
Endwalker was a fantastic ending to a 10 year story, and sure, I could nitpick a few things I didn't like, but I can do that with every xpac. FFXIV is one of my favorite stories and games ever.
Reddit sucks
Edgetards who actually believed Hydaelyn was evil are moronic
I thought she was going to have a moment where her primal nature overrides her intentions and she needs us to put her down before it gets worse.
But I only had a few moments where "she might be plotting shit"
She's also nice. 🙂
>WAR rage is just WoL thinking about the femra getting fricked by George
lmao

>>Hey dude, it's whatever if you want to insult my English, I'm aware that my English isn't that good and writing is always my weakness. But I take offense to your unfounded accusation of tracing images. I don't spend months drawing this in my spare time only for people like you to say things like that.
I was trying to make something out of my comfort zone, I was frustrated by it, yet I still try my best to finish this. I had to keep drawing even when I was really sick last week, because otherwise I will lose my nerve and motivation. So yeah, to say this piece is important to me is an understatement.
Do you really how toxic you are? Why can't you be like anyone else who only insult me with "lol so edgy" "your argument is weak" "venat isn't evil you idiot"? But no, you had to bring my art into the fight by accusing me of tracing. Next time you see some artworks you hate, kindly downvote it and move on.
Yeah, it's Zodiark Trance time
>ZODIARK TRACE
If that took him months, which should only take a few weeks, then damn this guy definitely traces
Allright so taking bets on what Zenos Voidsent's angle is gonna end up being, since his datamind is "Zero".
he wants to be our friend 🙂
I wish our voidsent looked cool or had ANY kind of story/personality to him. God Reaper quests were lame as frick.
>Zenos is dead
>two patches later introduce "Zeros"
Really Yoshida.

I didn’t want Hydaelyn to be evil per se, but I think they dropped the ball by not having the blessing of ligh be her tempering. It would have been a neat explanation as to why so many adventures are chosen by it, that it’s actually a reversal and the blessing of light tempers them and drives them to adventure since it’s the nature of Azems to act in such a way.
>the Venatroon btfo so badly in that one thread that he now keeps spamming threads multiple times per day in order to astroturf his moronic opinion
Equal parts insane and pathetic.
>Still reposting his blatantly wrong headcanon
What this entire discussion proves is how so many people have wildly different, and outright factually innacurate, interpretations of fictional media.

How come there's barely any porn of her despite her being a 10/10 sex goddess?
Because the design's only existed as anything other than a random recording at the end of a dungeon for less than a year, and if you're putting in the effort of making and completing a drawing you may as well just set out doing the 10/10 design made by Amano that people are actually going to be looking at in Extremes/Roulettes on a continuing basis.

What made XI's story so good? XIV's was good but just didn't hit the same, why?
Because when you look closely XIV's story is actually just XI's story but sorta worse
nostalgia goggles
I played FFXI and did all the way to the end of CoP when i was done with 6.1 on FFXIV and the story is much better on FFXI. It's kinda the same but the storytelling on FFXI is just better crafted. Done just masterfully. You can't really see anything close on FFXIV.
It's literally the same thing but worse
>he said something similar to what hades said in ffxiv
>they are exactly the same thing
Dense.
see
don't be a homosexual
You're actually moronic, most of the major story points in XIV are taken straight from XI, they couldn't even bother to create their own backstory and lore.
I'm looking forward to 7.0 and our travels to not-adoulin.
Tell me then, Eco Warrior, if FFXI is so great, why do they not make their own threads?
There was one yesterday or the day before. Getting mad at people talking about XI in a XIV thread or vice versa is like going into a Skyrim thread and getting mad when people mention Morrowind.
XIV draws heavily from XI, but it's just using a very similar framework to look at the same themes in a different way.
Emet gives a few nods to XI Hades, but XI's Hades is much closer to Endsinger. He was trying to unmake everything because he thought the only truth in life was suffering.
>He was trying to unmake everything because he thought the only truth in life was suffering.
Wait. They even rip off that too?
It's not that unique of a motivation in Japanese media.
what other ones do this? i like those villians
In terms of video games theres nyx, malos and kerghan. probably others im forgetting
one of the most common villain motivations of all time
Black person have you ever played an FF before
They take shit from other FFs all the time. But saying FFXI story is the same as FFXIV is a big stretch.
true, but you didn't have to say it
XI has higher quality writing and is written in a way that it doesn't hold your hand through everything. It expects you to interact with the world and piece things together, and especially CoP was written with the intention that you need to pay the frick attention and that you're very unlikely to understand the entire thing yourself and you should be talking with your friends and exchanging information to get the whole truth. It's also just very heavy on atmosphere.
>dude, what if a guy became so angry that he became a super bad guy?
>but then the weirdly smart brothers that run new york city killed that bad guy and were even superer?
You can make any story sound moronic if you want to be a homosexual, it's not hard.
and if you reduce the storylines of xi and xiv enough you can claim that xiv is a copy of xi
You could, yeah, and you'd be a stupid homosexual if you did so.
Prishe used the star to crystallize his emptiness, and then Altana intervened to cleanse him and scatter him back into the lifestream. If Promathia actually died then that would be the end of Vana'diel.
The only thing i don't get is if Promathia actually died at the end? Because it was summoned, right? and got put to sleep again with the star of tavnazia?
why is is making the game singeplayer is the game isn't dying?
is the game dead?
not really. the RP community is enormous and the only people who are bored are those who've been playing for 9+ years like me.
they want to make it single player at least for the MSQ so that people don't dodge it because its an online game. its basically several mainline titles in one long go
It's not being made single player, it's just making it more single player friendly.
>Fujo does a good job of NOT going the path of "Hydalyn is actually evil too"
>dumbasses want that to be the way it went
Nah, also the fight itself (mechanics wise) was great.
how can it be "hydaelyn was evil TOO" when zodiark wasnt even evil in the first place?
This was back when theories were that Zodiark was evil.
Why is Ganker so mind-broken over this woman?
they're simping for hades and she won
Since the sundering didn't change the nature of man and humanity will just do the same thing in the end anyway (shown with the Allagans), she lost hard.
Please don't mind broke venatgays with facts. That's not nice.
>the sundering didn't change the nature of man
Then why was man able to defeat the final days?
Please don't try to reason with Hadesgays with facts, they can't understand them.
Because the Ascians kept resetting technology before it got too advanced
That just makes it even more impressive that man was able to overcome the end of days.
What does that have to do with anything?
We were literally the only ones who could do anything because we knew where the bird was. Do venat morons really need to have everything explained to them? Are you really this moronic?
>That just makes it even more impressive that man was able to overcome the end of days.
The Allagans were sundered and they almost Ra-la'd themselves because they got too comfortable and collapsed into moral decay before based Amon saved them by bringing Xande back from the dead and starting a war.
didn't emet selch have something to do with allag as well?
He helped create it, that's about all we know about his involvement.
He kicked off their technological revolution, like Garlemald.
Have you ever consider we're literally the one and only specie in the whole universe that knew where the dicky bird was?
Because WoL is a chad and solves every problem ever.
But like it's pointed out in ShB, eventually WoL will die and everyone will forget any of this ever happened.
And just like it's also pointed out in ShB, those who walked before will leave the torch to be picked up by those that will walk after.
I'm sure that's what the Plenty thought as well, considering it's stated that they went through a lot of strife to get their society to the level it was.
>I'm sure that's what the Plenty thought as well
No, that race strove to achieve perfection, like a lot of the other failed civilizations.
>it's explicitly said that eventually everything fades from memory
Again, it also explicitly says there will be others to carry on your legacy in some way, knowingly or not. Then in EW g'raha muses that maybe souls are predisposed toward certian inclinations. The most obvious example being that of azem's shards being prone to wanderlust and adventuring.
>but what if there's a fumble?
You mean like an entire reflection being consumed by darkness. Well there's at least one survivor who's set to try and do something about it, and the msq has hinted that maybe all is not lost.
>No, that race strove to achieve perfection
How is that any different from what modern Aetherians are doing? Societies make incremental improvements, that's just how they work. Any civilization that doesn't die off will eventually become post scarcity, like the Plenty.
So what do you thing the point of the sundering was?
Either to lessen man's aetheric density so that they could interact with dynamis, or so that they live harder lives but more fulfilled lives due to suffering, or both. Regardless the intention of the sundering doesn't matter. All I'm saying is that, regardless of Venat/the WoL/the writers intentions, all civilizations that dont die off will eventually achieve the "perfect" of the plenty unless they artificially impose challenges on themselves.
Sundered man will never reach the kind of perfection on display in the plenty because they live short lives and strife is a constant.
Functional immortality will be something that even real life humans eventually achieve, even if it takes thousands of years. You don't think Aetherians would eventually achieve it when allagns advanced as far as they did?
Archmagus Noah already invented functional immortality and she's using it to frick strangers every night.
If anything that just proves my point further. Clearly its within the grasp of Aetherians eventually, probably soon.
The Plenty were also mortal once. But even the sundered went that route with Allag, and will do so again unless Cid decides to frick off to become a luddite.
Even when someone important dies, there will be someone else right behind to pick up the torch and advance some more, and so on. That's exactly what happened with the Ironworks from the Black Rose timeline.
If individual souls being predisposed towards certain attitudes could prevent civilizational apathy then Amaurot was never in any danger of that to begin with.
At some point people's legacies die out. In the future mankind will advance and self-destruct just like every other one in existence ever. You can already see the seeds of dysfunction having been planted in modern Eorzea.
Until there's a fumble. Come on, at the end of 5.0 it's explicitly said that eventually everything fades from memory, the same is true here.
>man
You mean a member of the amaurotine council nine times rejoined? WoL is as much of a mere man as you are a not a moronic child with downs for making such a stupid statement.
WoL isn't an Ascian, he's not part of shit
He obviously meant that he soul belonged to a member of the council.
Black Mage superior, other jobs inferior.
This whole "NOOOO SHE WAS REALLY EVIL DESPITE EVERYTHING! YOU ONLY DISAGREE BECAUSE MUH MOMMY WAIFU!" shit from the fanbase kinda reminds me of Fire Emblem. It seems a general theme is that female characters like this trigger people.
Venat is far more defensible than Edelgard.
>Edelgard
>mommy
Was referring to Rhea
Rhea does come off as evil if you do Edelgard's route. I didn't do the others.
Let me put it this way. See that fanfic up there? Edelgard's route is basically the equivalent of that if it were actually in the game as compared to the other routes.
Edelgard is 100% in the wrong and it's obvious in the other routes.
But anyone with a lick of intelligence would see that Venat and her plan was absolutely fricking stupid and she exterminated her own race because of a disagreement on the principles of how they should go about rebuilding.
her race lives on in the multitude of races in eorzea and other shards.
This post makes me happy to know I'm not a brainlet.
idgaf but can someone gibe me the name of this semen demon and the search tags for this this type of clothing. much appreciated
venat, its modded though
there is not nearly enough Venat R34.
what a cringe comic, the guy who made it needs to take a shower and then go outside for a walk
