Revelations from Patch 6.3: Gods Revel, Lands Tremble

[Rannie]

We unintentionally sold our free will in exchange for a glowy weapon set lol.

Excuse me while I crawl into a corner and cry...

Can't sleep rowena will eat me *rocks back and forth * can't sleep rowena will eat me....

[SannaR]

I've noticed something extremely huge with this patch and some others involving the WoL and that is

they can't ever escape the fiendish Rowena and her damnable Tomestones.. we have signed our lives away in servitude to her... even the Twelve know as they gave us a mfin tomestone for the collection of knowledge *grossly will over look the fact that it was our character who thought of it. * <_<>_>

It's why I wondered what is up with the WoL's imagination and that after it took form we had a "damn it" type look. Like we knew we were trying to think of something and then Staypuffed Marshmallowed ourselves.

My thoughts on these stories

MSQ

I liked it. I wondered why we would be in Garlemald and Vrtra feeling his sisters aether in that direction made sense. I loved what they did with Zero here. Her changing a bit because of what she saw in the time spend there was nice. A bit annoyed at Alisaie though. Her behavior seemed a bit of.

Her being jealous that Graha was exploring the dungeon with us instead of her...even though she was staying in Garlemald to help rebuild it. Her being so open about a friendship with Zero, even after she and Graha had nearly died by her hands. I thought she would be the one most against it.

The dungeon was really nice and I liked that I got some special dialogue because I had done the reaper quests. (Still feels strange though that the scions are fine with us having a pact with a voidsend)

I did not feel much with the fiends because I have not played the game they came from. So for me all of them were just boss monsters that needed to be put down. So it felt alright that one of them was just a dungeon boss.

We also get a glimpse on Golbez plan and we lost access to the void. I wonder how we will get there and what will happen in 6.4. Since we have two patches left I doubt that we will already defeat him in the next one.

I also doubt that he will succeed. Putting the barrier down and destroying the void would put an end on that one side quest where certain characters hope to rebuild their home world. And it would bascially destroy the reaper job because our voidsend would be gone too.

Yoshida did say that something will happen that will change the world for 7.0 but I cant just see what. I am also a bit tired if this would just be another calamity after we have just stopped the Endsinger.

In the end I hope that Zero and Vrtras sister will make it out alive.

In regards to Alisaie

I thought her behavior fit her. She's always looking for ways to improve her skills. As she strives to be as good as the WoL one day and maybe try and surpass us. So her missing out on an opportunity to do so makes sense. Then there's her friendship with G'Raha where to me at least it's part siblings and part rivalry. As they both highly enjoy going on adventures with the WoL. Her choosing to like Zero I think was decided on Zero saying she didn't enjoy being Zenos's avatar. Like if Zero at the time had any say in what she was doing back then she probably wouldn't have popped out back then. That and if the WoL a person she looks up to is fine with Zero a half voidsent no less being around then they can't be too bad. Yes, Zero did try to kill them, but technically the WoL also did and she nor G'Raha seem to be bothered by the fact.

Atleast the stay puffed marshmellow man was evil yummy cute.... but this *sighs* we were rowena'd by the twelve! New theory Rowena is one of the Twelve we just fought who shows herself in disguise to torment us.

Oh dear lord please no. Anyway something no one so far has mentioned yet is we got another mentioning of Corvos. I don't remember where it is but I smiled when I saw it.

Just two lines that stood out to me in the last Golbez cutscene:

"..and you have played your parts to perfection." - Golbez

"And played your role to perfection." - Fandaniel/Zodiark

"Hereon, I shall walk alone." - Golbez

"Henceforth, he shall walk." - Hydaelin

Maybe just coincidence that the wording is so similar.

When that happened I was actively thinking

"It's gonna be a tomestone, isn't it?"

And then actually cackled irl about it. Well played. In-story, I think the WoL's thought process was closer to:

"A device meant to store information? That sounds an awful lot like-oh no...don't think of a tomestonedont'thinkofatome-DAMNIT!"

Ohh god that was SO funny!

I was kind of hoping that we'd get a concept crystal.

Even more HW dungeon changes

OK, so I love that Thancred has to go back to his gld roots if you have him as a tank. And that he uses his rogue skills if made a DPS. Now I only saw it once but I swear the man cheats and used Assasinate on Calcabrina cause I know I saw someone hop onto her forehead for a few seconds. Not much changes for the 1st and last bosses. Ziggy however now doesn't make you kill the rocks. They just make big aoes you have to not be in.

In Sohr Kai I still wish that on the black Pegasus that they'd show Burning Bright was a line aoe. As many parties will spread out and thus destroy the walls. Hraesvelgr's fight is done on a big circle platform and he performs attacks thar until Dragonsong Reprisal no one had seen. As he uses Holy Storm, Hallowed Wings, and attack patterns that he does in said ultimate. It also is the rare time to see a melee use the LB as I guess mage npcs love to hog the dang thing. I haven't done Xelphatol yet, but if you tank it you don't get the typical melee and mage combo. You get a House Fortemps Banneret and a House Fortemps Archer. So, it'll be interesting to see if the Archer steals the LB or not.
