Stormblood is becoming the opposite of FF15

FF15 is described as the bro road trip game. Since I have a female WoL, this is turning into the exact opposite with Alisaie and Lyse tagging along.

Since I'm a guy does that make it more like a harem title? :)

(Kidding, the Admiral is the only woman for me.)

Seriously though it's always great to see how many decent female NPCs this game has, in spite of some equality issues elsewhere.

Well to some Degree you had a Bro Tour in Heavensward at many points. So it is kind of fair that it is this time the other way around. :)

I've just unlocked diving, and I already find Lyse and Alisaie more likable and relatable while also happy to see how active they both are in everything.

Yda never did much for me, but Lyse is quickly becoming my favorite of the companions we've had.

LOL yeah I'm female too so it's like the ladies are taking care of business

I just unlocked diving too and I'm actually sad that we left Alphinaud behind ;_; He's still my favourite, but this expansion seems to want to replace him with his sister.
Lyse is great, I really like her.

Yeah I feel the same.
Lyse = Promto
Aliase = Ignis
Gosetsu = Gladio
Yugiri = Aranea
Hien = Cor

I've thoroughly enjoyed the development both Lyse and Alisae have received so far into the MSQ. They're sassy, snarky, have their flaws and their strengths, and have this nice Big Sister-Little Sister vibe going for them at times, similar to what Alphinaud and Estinien had. I was a little worried going into Stormblood that neither had proper time to receive their own identities thoroughly beyond some 2-dimensional templates, but by the time you're out of the Ruby Sea, both have really grown into their own characters.

I'm so glad alphinaud gone for the moment that I didn't even notice he was gone.

Heavensward was the Wizard of Oz.

Alphinaud, Estinien and Ysayle / The Lion, the Tinman and the Scarecrow, all conspicuously flawed characters, join you on a literal yellow brick road to go meet Hraesvelgr / the Wizard of Oz.

Same here, thank god Alphinaud is not coming with us.

Love Yugiri and Alisie starting to like Lyse as the story progresses. Was mad at her for deceiving us all through ARR and HW.

I really liked the "all-female" party I had (since my character is female too).
There were many cute moments between Lyse and Alisaie, true friendship.

Yes is funny.
Alisie is Redmage like my Char and both use the same Rapier.
My RDM use the skin from the Augmented Hailstorm Rapier from the MSQ in blue.

LOL! yeah so far Kos is enjoying all the empowerment and "Girl Power!".

Sisters Are Doin' It for Themselves

Many times now it's been "the three girls" - Lyse, Alisaie an Kosmos facing down a bunch of hapless guys and pretty much telling it like it is - thank you Alisaie... :)

Gotta say though, Lyse is beginning to grate on my nerves a bit, hopefully she improves.

I thought this was going to be about the production value and value of content that we get in FFXIV compared to the half-finished release of FFXV :thinking:.

I know what you mean, I'm enjoying that all female party thing as well. It's interesting how so many games add female characters as secondary only, and in so many RPGs in the past, it was a male lead. That said, I always enjoyed my Xenosaga party with Shion, KOS-MOS and MOMO. I really like having an all female party, it contrasts so much with reality and expectation, and there are just so many fun moments where the meta story and dialog in my head is utterly hilarious.

Girls Just Want To Have Fun

I was just talking about this with some other players! I love the lady roadtrip >D Plus, the dialogue and camaraderie are really coming through in the writing this expansion. In the past, some of the forced friendship scenes have been a bit awkward, but I'm really feeling the chemistry between the ensemble in Stormblood.

Stormblood: Girls Night Out!!!

And now I just added Yugiri!

I'd much rather Haurchefant and Alphinaud, but it's ok for a change.
