Personally, I wasn't seeing "lore about jobs" and "lore about job-related abilities" as conceptually 1:1 to begin with.

Personal opinions regarding overall [insert job here] lore don't factor much...

I try to advance the idea of seeing the "frozen on day one" phenomenon (aka the Simpsons Bubble) as a blank check and a baseline.

First, it's already difficult for the developers themselves to...

As a caveat we should probably also mention for completeness' sake that the lore for job-related abilities has gotten much thinner and vaguer since they started adding and removing them from the game...

Can I get a little more context for what you mean by "seal"? It's admittedly been a minute since I played AST, so apologies if my jargon recognition is slipping, lol.

Are we talking about the...

I think - for a sweeping answer to a lot of questions that might arise from this topic - I'd look at Yoshida's answer to a different - but related - question. Hades says that he will be reborn, so...

On the Livia topic, I think the assumption comes from the context of the rest of ARR's dialogue, not that one line in a vacuum. From Nero saying "Beware a woman in love." in the Ifrit arc to Livia...

Examples are difficult to come by. This is something we've been told more than shown. The Sixth Astral Era featured a lot of racial animosity given the times and places and means of different...

Most English references say that an ideological divide gave way to open conflict and a final battle between Hydaelyn and Zodiark of a like usually found only in myth, but in French we have...

I...

When we were watching it live I was trying to set up a joke about Space Allagans but I paused because the "QR-code"-looking square character text caught me off-guard. As far as I recall off the top...

Not everyone who's tempered is a brainwashed zombie. Several characters have been, to quote world director Oda-san, "not puppets that do nothing but repeat words of worship, but nevertheless ensure...

The summoning of Zodiark (however inadvertently) tempered the entire governing body of the planet (aside from the one person who quit)... (EDIT: Not that I'm saying this directly affected anything,...

It's Yda!

It's Yda's sister!

No, it's Yda!

No, it's Yda's sister!

[Yda is Yda's sister.]

When the story itself is a flawed product with inconsistencies over its 13-year lifespan, someone might be able resolve those inconsistencies with their imagination, but how much it can be backed up...

There's plenty of room to interpret the story in different ways and find flaws in the presentation without giving selective (in)attention to certain lines to gild the lily, imho.
(Maybe that's a...

Iscah and I were just saying the same thing, actually; it looks to me like when someone was making the visual asset for the page, they were taking a methodical approach - did the top row and the left...

My first thought was that there are a lot of places IRL that use the similar name "Arcadia" to hark back to a region of ancient Greece associated with being an idyllic refuge, but that usually...

When I imagine it, I imagine English letters formed with a stroke order like kanji. I can get most of them down to a reasonable amount of input time, I think.

But with regard to the visual...

The icon is a heart and the video seems to show it from the inside, containing a bunch of bottle-looking things.


I'm most intrigued by the combination of the proto-alphabet and the signage with...

No disagreements - eloquently stated - just wanted to throw into the mix for the sake of it rarely coming up that Emet-Selch said that the act of summoning Zodiark brought the Convocation members...

According to the ancient texts, gates to the void open naturally and accidentally on the Source all the time due to the fact that the Source/Thirteenth membrane wobbles and is already void on the...

I think there might have been like, "two-point-five" broad possibilities, to her, at the time: either she can sufficiently change the course (in which case multiple different possibilities exist) or...

This is why I regret that a good deal of this was glossed over in a condensed, non-literal "walk down memory lane" scene instead of a concrete, explicit example or two to prevent people from...

They were dropping hints that Yda would be involved in the Ala Mhigo arc from the first cutscene of 1.0, so my theory was that they "missed their window" on the story they wanted to tell and the...

The Encyclopaedia threw Corguevais, another Elezen from 1.0's Ul'dah, under the "black-mask" tier bus, as well. It may have been the intent all along, though, because I've heard tale that not...

I think we've got all 4 locked in (bonus panslation as always). Corrections welcome.

It's still giving Erenville.


Thank you! Should a "naps and juice" situation (knock on wood). Not feeling...
