Arenvald in 6.x As a major character

[TheMightyMollusk]

Y'shtola is an accomplished magic user. Arenvald is a knight and has openly admitted that books weren't his strong-point. I could see him taking up the magic mantle, but I see him becoming a chocobo knight before that.

Y'shtola has also had to be rescued out of her own magic twice now, and suffered minimal consequence for it. (Yes, the spell that lets her see with aether is supposed to be draining her life span, but unless the game actually moves on from the time bubble it's been in since ARR, that's basically meaningless, because nobody ages.) The second time, she literally laughed it off.

At this point, I have to assume that she's just noticed how much plot armor the Scions carry and decided to take advantage of it.

The characters are aging... just the world is on a slower timescale than our own. There are quests that reference how long it's been since a certain event in an earlier patch happened. I forget exactly, but I believe it's been about 2 years now in-game between ARR and Shadowbringers, not to mention that the scions on The First have had their lifepans going on much longer due to the difference in the speed of time passing on both worlds.

More likely they don't move on the Y'Shtola killing herself with her aether vision because plot armor.

She also got her left subclavian artery severed by Zenos trying to save Lyse's life. She should have bled out in 4.5 seconds, but heyyy a severed artery coupled with immense internal bleeding coming out of her mouth just needs a little cure beam and a 4.0 start's worth of bed rest!

She was also kidnapped princess peach style in -- what was it -- 5.2 or 5.3? I really can't take her being in danger as any sort of threat anymore. Even if she somehow dies I’ll lean more to “finally” and laugh rather than feel any sort of boohoo.

I could understand the scenario writer using her as a plot device to show how powerful emet was in Shadowbringers (and to set up his capabilities for 5.3) considering all we had to do to bring her back before, but her constant dodging is getting tiresome.

She still has six lives left :-D

Surprising eh? How much a characters popularity and demand for that character to stick around does for their survivability, right? I'm certainly not complaining, I like Y'shtola a lot and want her to stick around to the very end.
