Revelations from SHADOWBRINGERS

[Kallera]

Well someone like Ranjit wants to have a word with you about nothing stopping us. Also its not about exerting our will on other shards, its about visiting them, maybe we are even going to be the new guardian of these worlds and just make sure that the problems the Ascians have left behind are gone. Its not like we go around and force people to do what we want them to do.

The problems with the memories gone is: We as a player still remember. Its not like we also lose them. This will just end up being frustrating imo. Going from a blank cardboard box to a character with his own feelings and memories to a cardboard box again just feels bad to me.

Ascians is hardly where our involvement ends, usually we involve ourselves in the people everyday lives, one thing leads to another, and suddenly we are taking over countries as a side errand because some nut said to do otherwise is indolence. Sure let's have future adventures, but no more of having the world lean on us. That's not much better than the two that need to be deposed.


And Ran'jit still died at our hands in the end.

We did not just take over countries just because someone said it. We took it back for the people that lived there after they said that they wanted to get it back. Hien himself was like: So what do the people want, my head or my blade? You make it sound like someone just comes to us and says: give me that country, but its not true. We are fighting for the people that want their land back.

And what is wrong with taking part in peoples lifes? A lot of those people even want us in their life because we solve their problems. So us going to other shards and seeing a village under monster attack and saving them is bad? My idea is more along the way of simply doing quests as an adventurer while looking if some of those things the Ascians still planned before their demise are going to cause problems. I dont want us to go and liberate another country that we have no personal attachment too.

And yes Ranjit died at the end but SE shows that they are ready to just introduce these really powerful enemies out of nowhere anyway. So these could easily just be the big bad for each adventure. I mean lets be real, after defeating Bahamut, Omega, Middy in his prime (even if its just a imagination), Thordan and his knights with the power of thousand years of prayers, there should have already be none to match our powers. Yet here is a Zenos, and here is a Ranjit. And here suddenly we need the Scions as NPCs on our side in dungeons and against Lightwardens. (But of course not against one of the strongest which is Innocenz) Our power levels really are just where the plot wants us to be. And normal stuff is done by us without any problems anyway.

On a side note: I do find it interesting to that seemingly we are right now the only WoL on the source while the first shard had a whole team of them. (And there were more in the past) I found that to be a nice hint that we simply dont need more WoLs because we are more complete then those on the shard or those of the past who even had bigger crystals too.

I think it may be a combination of that and the fact that Hydaelyn is growing weaker each time the source is rejoined. Her protecting us from Ultima damn near made her completely powerless after all.
