Now then....

So out of the one thing missing in 3.0 Main Storyline I notice Matoya's Crystal Eye is not in 3.0 and Matoya is not blind in FF14.

However, Y'shtola is blind and she is Matoya's apprentice.

Anyone else think Y'shtola may get the Crystal Eye to replace her Aether Eye so she doesn't end up dying from using the Aether Eye in 3.X?

Is Y'shtola blind? I was under the impression that the color of her eyes merely changed as she made no mention of being blind. Unless I missed that.. >.>

I didnt read in there anywhere that she was blind...

Yes Y'shtola is now blind due to using the Forbidden Magic that sent he into the Aether.

As mention by Matoya when she said to Y'shtola "When did the Light fade from your eyes?"

"When did the light fade from your eyes?" Matoya asked her at the end of the cave cutscene.

The turn of phrase is used to indicate someone is blind. Y'shtola sees the world via aether now, but in doing so is draining her own life force.

I wonder why you can never go to the lore section and post these things lol.
Like daily you post something here about it...Not a big deal, just curious.

Np, I expected this smart alack reply.
Just thinking you can get more in-depth replies that way.

I wonder what Aether looks like lol.

So I missed a part explaining how she now sees the world. I knew what the saying meant, but didn't take much from it seeing how she was able to still navigate on her own.

Cleared up then. ^^

Probably Matrix-esque just particles of blue-ish light, that's my guess anyway.

I kinda glossed over and forgot about the latter part of the thread.

I don't know enough about Matoya's back story and other lore, but seeing her student/master relationship between her and Y'shtola I could see her becoming somewhat of a noble sacrifice so that Y'shtola could carry on her work in her name... in essence.

Would be cliche' as hell, but sometimes cliche' is good. ^^

Meh I don't see that happen despite it being a possible plot.

The Broom Side-story quest chain did explain she knows that she doesn't have much time left in her life but her life won't end anytime soon.

Actually this has already been discussed at length in the Lore forum so it would be a repeat thread. XD

Isn't her Crystal Eye mentioned by one of the brooms in passing during those quests?

"The light from your eyes" part, I took to mean her eye color. Before, she had bright green mako eyes, now her eyes are boring.

She flat out stated after she woke up that being in the Aether so long "blinded her" and that she can only see using Aether currents now.

And then later on, Matoya mentions that if she continues to use the Aether to "see", that it will slowly drain her life force. And "losing the light of your eyes" is a literary phrase meaning "to go blind".

As to the OP, yeah, I think they'll come up with something. I don't think they're going to kill off Y'shtola with something as lame as a slow aether-sucking death. It's just a trope to cause some suspense and tension.
