Live Letter Thoughts

[Rowde]

Was this second island thing on a slide in a older liveletter or should something he said? Because I really wonder why they would already give us a new one soon (this expansion) when we just get a huge one right now. Of course I take it but maybe they could simply increase the one island and give us more there instead of two different ones?

But who knows maybe that will still change in development until then.

to be fair it specifically says
"Additional area for Island Sanctuary"

the 2nd island thing seems to be community imagination running away with that sparse piece of info

Thank you for the link. So that could also just mean that the island grows a bit (or get new building and stuff added) which imo makes more sense, because the island we will get is already huge.

Yup.

Will be added as patches come along. Looking forward to it hugely..and I think to celebrate, Ill bring home some hamburgers.

No one tell Aveyond, okay? I dont think his blood pressure will be able to handle it

Ill bring home some hamburgers.

will it have pineapple?

By that definition, so do the actions of the Convocation of FourteenThirteen.

that was and should never have been in doubt.

So why do people want to venerate the group that succeeded in 2 acts of genocide

Two? do the rejoinings not count? How many reflections have they destroyed? Not to mention the 13th which was a failed experiment for them.

She also did not create "copies" she reduced everything to this:

You're talking about the impressions of a character who saw our characters and civilizations in that way as well. He told us point blank that he doesn't consider us truly alive and therefore it's not murder if he kills us.

will it have pineapple?

You're correct, thank you. I forget about the 7 successful rejoinings (or 8 if you count the now alternate timeline of Biggs the 3rd, with that timeline possibly having even more rejoinings to come depending on just how powerful Midgardsormr truly is).

Still, people have been taking a fictional story WAAAAYYYYY too seriously. Please step back a few minutes and root yourselves in reality. None of those characters ever existed. The choices they made about what to do and the consequences of those actions never happened. Nothing says you need to like the story told or any specific characters but getting yourselves worked up so much over it is not healthy.

well......
Time travel shenanigans makes this confusing.
But I'm not counting Biggs the 3rd although the intent was there.
Because if we count intent, we're gonna have to add a lot more than 7

No, thats basically it.

The ancients, the convocation and a majority of ancients, sacrificed themselves to summon/keep Zodiark summoned to stop the Final Days triggered by Metion. All the sacrificed Ancients 'souls' are represented by all the faces in the cutscene with Zodiark, and even Emet when he transforms into Hades, and shows them as the representation of the masked faces. These are the ones that are actually dead, dead.
All Hydaelunie, and her group of ancients, did was shatter everything from 1 singular existance into 14(13?), so that life would have the chance to continue unimpeeded by the Source experiencing the Final Days. So, no one was technically killed by queen crazy, as much as they were splintered into multiple fragments with one fragment on each of the 14 (or 13/however many) shards. And then life from those fragments would be 'new' life.
And all of that occured because Hermes couldn't not into being emo for 5 minutes because muh existentialisms.
So the way the story goes is, Hermes created Metion and she ventured forth into the unknown to find the meaning of life - which she concluded was death, and entropy as all things decayed.
so Metion went crazy and decided all life has to end, and started the final days for the ancients, and no one could figure out what was causing it so they summoned Zodiark to protect them, the root of all corruption wanted to find another way so she sundered everything, and then magically the events of endwalker take place to put us the WoL in the path of direct opposition to stop the Final Days from occuring and to make it so that hyperpsycholyn could know what caused the Final Days, which somehow makes us 'worthy' and she could finally die by creating a time loop paradox that ensures life will always survive should the WoL fail.

at least until Pandeamonium, the laboritory out of time, is resolved and a special person involved in that story arc resolves the time loop paradox and will then act as the next Hydaelyn. (personally I think anyways)

and let's not forget that the sundering was also to give us a chance to actually defeating Meteion and actually dealing with the problem. Instead of what the Ascians decided to /couldn't do.

You didn't major in Literature, did you? :P
