Is it strange that I sometimes miss the sight of Dalamud in the sky?

Or this guy? :/

Was looking through old screens. All the feels!

I played very little of 1.0, so I missed out on the Nael / Dalamud mayhem. I did listen to the world music for the event, though -- that really creepy, distorted version of Answers, and that had to have been really cool. I also watched the blu-ray that came with the special edition, which had all the storyline cutscenes.

Let me just say that the one shot of Van Darnus in Castrum Novum completely sold me: After blowing everything the hell up, he turns to walk into the flames all Sephiroth-style...except he's laughing like a maniac and doing this ridiculous sashay as he goes.

This guy may as well have literally been Sephiroth, Kefka, and Kuja all crammed into a single suit of Judge armor.

And that is wonderful.

I don't care how flimsy the story reason ends up being; I hope Nael Van Darnus comes back someday.

Another screenshot I took. I'm still kinda lowbie, but even here, some of the sights are just astoundingly cool. Guys, pull your camera down to a wide shot whenever you can.

This, you probably know, is the boss area of Sastasha. What I love about it is a certain detail: Those sinuous columns of rock in the distance. Vylbrand is a volcanic island. What you're seeing there are cooled lava-flows, with the sediment around it having been eroded away, forming that grotto. I love when artists do things like this -- the land's story is told by the land itself.

And, ME:



I didn't choose the pirate life, the pirate life chose me.
