Spoilers! A certain characters eyes

[Antonius2004]

Something I easily noticed today when I reached the part within the main story where you retrieve a cat thing from the Lifestream... Y'shtola, her eyes are very milky/white now compared with before her trip into said Lifestream. Perhaps this is a side-effect of being doused in aether for a period of time and not having a physical form?

Oh, another thing, she also happened to mention that she can now sense aether much more easily than before...

You'll find out the reason and a bit more detailed what happened when you get to the 59 quests. Personally I'm surprised that no one mentioned that feature until the person's mentor does.

Well.. we were all looking at something else u.u
(Nice work, Tataru.. it's the first thing you do right)

[Azunia]

Well in a sense that she was struggling to maintain herself in the lifestream all this time. She also learned and gained new spells and senses. But the forbidden technique seem to have left her actually blinded, but not really. You see she can now see everything through aether form, but at a cost of her own lifeforce. Matoya was truly concerned considering the spell she used was very dangerous. We can also assume that her powerful spells also use some hint of her LF too. Talk about commitment.

Ahh, funny that, I was actually thinking that they looked as though they were in fact blinded.

I'm curious to know if it's permanent or if something could be done to restore her eyesight... Given all we suffer in HW, just being able to do *something* to help one of our friends to get back to normal would be uplifting.

[Alberel]

I'm actually worried about what this means for her in the long term. If she's using her own aether just to see then she's basically slowly killing herself. At the same time I'm really curious about all these new abilities she's developing. I just hope she finds a way to keep herself alive before it's too late.

Probably its is not a problem on the short/medium term, but Y'shtola will probably wont reach elder age due to that, unless she stops using it

True, right? It was the first thing I noticed during the cutscene and I was like: "Damn, she's blind now". But suddenly she sais she can see something different in Alphinaud and that maybe her stay in the Lifestream has changed her eyesight perception, so I was "Wait... her eyes depict blindness... yet she sais she can see..."

It was right when Matoya brought it up that I was right in my thoughts and that Y'shtola was employing her own lifeforce to be able to see, albeit differently.

The second I saw her when she had woken up after being rescued from the Lifestream I told myself that she had gone blind, it seemed pretty obvious when seeing how her eyes looked dead.
