[SPOILER] How many times did you cry during 3.0 MSQ?

I only cried once and that was when Lady Ice Heart died. In which I also vowed revenge on the Garlean Empire. I will get you my pretties and your little machina to.

I'm tired of seeing people I care about, getting screwed over. It just makes me want to punch babies. Q>_<¡Q

There were times, ishgard is a miserable place and it calls to mind all the times I visualized ancient theocracies and the misery they spread in their god's name creating the very miserable existence they preached inevitable relief from in the afterlife. The misery of the people at the hands of their leaders and clergy were depressing, the stories horrible. But there were moments of victory, i'm not spoilering but the continuation of the 2.5 yes I squee'd and cried foul when Lolo got off the hook.

didn't cry once, though i wanted to (i just don't know how to cry any more.)

Haurchy's death hit me hard, and when his father broke down i felt as if i had failed him.

My only thought for Ysale's death was a "why throw your life away for those once your enemies, foolish girl?"

None, man up.

Ysayle and Haurchefant of course. Well, more felt bad for her because I'm almost certain her tale isn't over yet. I really can't help but feel she's going to be tied to getting Estinien back, just for them to die together .__.

And I really, really grew to like Estinien. He's that asshole I can trust. So seeing him getting taken over was just like "OH COME ON, NOT HIM TOO!"

I cried at the end of the lvl 57 dungeon, and never stopped since.

T-T

I shed some manly tears after vault cutscene.. also the ending cutscene at his grave was a bit tough.
But honestly this scenes are what made Heavensward story better than ARR. We need some drama.

I personally never really liked haurchefant... Just felt that he was being a real jock for wanting to assist aymeric's rescue blatantly rather than staying clandestine and risk the entire house fortemps....

I did find the campfire scene at the churning mists with estinien and ysale extremely moving though, and after talking to the npcs after every msq, I had also grown truly fond of estinien and ysale

Cried personally? No. I did get sad.

- ./hugged ysayle after she found the truth of her Shiva summoning.
- could defiantly see my character crying when Haurchefant went. Alas, ps4 limitations. Went for a big "Noooooooo!" Instead. :)
- ysayle dying, I saw it coming, I hoped I was wrong.

Conversely. I laughed when Estinien got turned into Nidhogg

Haurchefant, hands down was the saddest part. I did not expect him to die. But i found it ironic that Ysale would scatter like dust in the wind at her death. Just when she started to grow on me.

Am I a monster for immediately thinking of this, with the caption "Why can't I hold all these eyes?".

I found myself talking to the screen, I believe I said something along the lines of:

'Um, not to be rude but you can barely hold it together near one of them... can you ... not touch the other one? Please? No?
Oh I see how its going to be... you are so gone arn't you? Yep... Gdi Estinien.'

It's hard to feel sorry for him

i'm suprised my character didn't immediately raise an eyebrow (eyescale?) when estinien told me to hand him the other eye...

Twice. First time for my best friend and second time for my frosty friend. I'll miss them both so much.

Once slightly during the msq with him dying and then cried my eyes out after the level 50 dark knight story quest

This. For some reason I just have no attachment to any of the characters in this game, which is a shame given some of the scenes.

None, I skipped a good 95% of em, only one I really watched were the Primals and the "Final fight"

I wasn't really moved by the story to be honest. I feel like SE is losing some of what made them a great group of storytellers.

The one death that actually impacted me was honestly before this story started, and they took it away anyway. Oh she didn't REALLY die, no. It was just some slumber shit someone swapped in. Just go with it. I think that really just set the tone for the rest of the xpac's story and after it, I just couldn't take anything they did seriously anymore.

Didn't really cry, but was more distraught over the moments.

Haurchefaunt moment, I was more like: "NOOOO! WHYY! I knew it, I knew SE just HAD to off him!" He was the one NPC I actually gave a damn about.

Iceheart moment, I was more bummed that we won't have Shiva fight with us anymore. ;_;

Estinian moment.... :/

Once, the other deaths just felt so forced that it wasn't even enjoyable. Same for 2.5...

Oh for some rason an ancient relic isn't strong enough, better kill myself...

Maybe facetanking this huge monster is a good idea, especially when full defence have worked so well...

It's the spontaneous and somewhat unexpected deaths that are depressive not those with obvious build up.

Sorry if I'm late for the party.

I just finish the Vault. Yet another scene like Moenbrida happens again. SERIOUSLY?!

Iceheart actually did me in. I love Shiva as a Primal, and she kind of became like similar to Terra/Esper so much love. Then THAT happened and I was SO angry. ;;

Not any!!
o.O; weird question...

Not weird at all. ARR had some heavy moments but this expansion so far seems to enjoy ripping out your still beating heart and squeezing it until it pops. Although I have suspicions that...

(spoiler)

Given Haurche's popularity we MAY not be done with him yet. He's dead for sure but just when that wound starts to heal, SE will open it again with

A)we've learned Ascians can possess a non-living body

or

B)Dude's left behind a big, dumb family in mourning and we haven't seen Unicorn or Ixion yet. Unicorn happens to be from VI, too (same as some classic eidolons as well as Ramuh, Bismarck and the Warring Triad)

I couldn't care less.

I shed a tear for Haucefant.

Unfortunately I didn't feel Iceheart's was impactful enough. Also because just a little bit ago I saw her get stabbed in the torso without dying. We beat her with out killing her. Yet 3 shots kill her? If one hit her while in human form I would've been like "Oh, damn".

While also on the subject, why did the Twelve knights and Archbishop die when we defeated them? It makes no sense how they died after turning back to normal, but Iceheart was fine.

Zero times

It may be due having their life linked to the King as the Twelve knights.

Despite being able to transform into primals they were linked to the Archbishop due to the twelve knights power being sustained by the King's energy. Their Primal form as a whole with the King and all twelve knights served as a single Primal. By become the twelve knights they have linked their own life to the King's life so if the King dies so does the twelve knights.

Another aspect that may causing their death is maybe due to not being WoL so they themselves do not have the self sustaining amount of Aether that a WoL has like Ysayle which we see when she dies is a vast amount of Aether due to how much was released on her death. Without a vast amount of Aether that a WoL has they risk their own life by transforming into Primals. Think of it like overloading a person's body limit, you gain vast amount of power to the body in a short amount of time but due to the body not being adjusted to the sudden amount of power they risk damaging it.

because white mages definitely don't get a unicorn mount at level 30.

And great, now you have me paranoid. from now one people are going to have to come to me if they want something, i'll be too busy protecting his final resting place on the hill.

its impossible for me to cry... i might shed a tear is a certain scion dies tho :P

I didn't say there weren't any Unicorns period in the game. Unicorn the "primal" is a thing, though. They'd probably change it's name from just Unicorn to Ixion (despite Ixion being lightning so not THE Ixion) or Monoceros or Shadhavar or something.

Too many times. I'm happy they actually put in some emotional impact. Makes me remember the story more(same during the original one after titan and then later)

Idk I never thought the story was as strong as people say it is, therefore I never got attached to any characters.

When Haurchefant died I was like, "Oh noooooo dude died" (sarcastically I might add). I was more heartbroken over how sad my own character looked, but not to the point of tearing up.

agreed with this....only 3.0 character I really like is Ysayle

Though I loved Haurchefant, Ysayle's death was the one that had me choking up really badly. I thought she was a great character with wonderful motives, and the combination of her emotional speech and Shiva's theme playing so dramatically over it all nearly had me bawling.

Haurchefant's demise didn't leave me saddened. I've always found him to be fairly overrated and whilst I don't dislike him my character didn't spend nearly as much time with him during Heavensward as he did with Ysayle and Estinien. The fates that they endured hit me much harder.

5x but that was because of there being too many cs ....errr lol

I'm an incredibly sappy person that cries at almost everything...but I can securely say I did not cry during this story. I just don't feel invested at all in any of the characters so when someone kicks the bucket, I just shrug and keep going.

Haurchefant was the biggest one, like a punch in the gut.

But Ysayle had grown on me. I was turning into a huge Estinien/Ysayle shipper (hey, what better what to re-create the union of Shiva and the dragons with fake!Shiva and a dragoon?!) Now he's been possessed and she's returned to the aether. No romance gonna happen there.
