Review of 6.3 Story Content

[SannaR]

I honestly wish we could be given a side quest just for Magnai to help him with his love life. Yesterday, I wound up making a Magnai Wind Up minion and from the description on it, his own clan brothers started making little minions of their leader to help lure in some potential waifus.

Magnai desperately needs a wing man and who better than the WoL!? We would be the ultimate wing man!!!! Plus, maybe Aliphnaud, Thancred, G'raha and Urianger could tag along with us for comedy relief.

Sad thing is the guy has a wing man. Who also happens to be his 2nd in command. I think he'd have to get rid of the all dudes clan leader that hangs around as for whatever reason Magnai who wants a cutie also wants to keep a guy who doesn't even want to be in the same room as a girl around and takes advice from them. The guy self sabotages.

Agreed, it’s clear those guys don’t know how to get our boi a gf. Someone buy him the book “How to talk to women for dummies”
Magnai could also uh…..lower his expectations a little bit…….

@SannaR
That explains alot! Well, if Magnai could ever put his pride to the side, maybe Sadu could help him? She believes she's a reincarnated dude in a woman's body, so maybe she could get past Magnai's second in command and actually give Magnai himself some proper lessons on how to get the attention of a waifu.

@SassyAssassin
You know, I wouldn't be surprised if Thancred or Alphinaud wrote up a book like that. Thancred because he's the ultimate ladies man and Alphinaud, though the version of him in his younger days in Sharlyan when he was the big-little flirt on campus. I can imagine Krile carrying around a book like that written by Alphinaud, just waiting for the right time to flaunt it off in front of everybody and once again embarrass the poor little chap. xD

Sadu would spank some sense into him for sure xD!

Hahaha can we have a translation by Urianger as well?

Meanwhile on Island Sanctuary rank 12 quest (Spoiler):

Cirina and Sadu visiting our island and purposely not inviting "little sun". I feel like Magnai turned them into lesbian...

[Soge01]

@SassyAssassin
Dam right she would!!! But... I think either the WoL or Hien would need to be there to help keep Magnai from getting into yet another one of he and Sadu's endless battles, so he'll actually take in what she says both throughly and thoughtfully. xD

That would add even more to the hilarity! I'm not sure if Magnai can read Eorezan, so Urianger of all people attempting to translate a book like that to Magnai would be peak hilarious! Especially if Urianger becomes embarassed himself while having to reading something like a book to get waifus. xD

@Knot_D

It might have been for the best. Magnai might had a massive nosebleed if he saw the two of them frolicking in the ocean in nothing but their swimsuits. x3

I think I did the spoiler thing right... I hope. If I did then these are my feelings about the motivations of the big bad in 6.3 and why I think their actually well presented.

I think 6.3 was great personally I just came back from a break and did 6.2 and 6.3 back to back almost so I don't know how that might have changed my opinion on it. But I think as far a Golbez and his motivations they seem completely reasonable. When I listen to Zero explain how things are in the void it resonates strongly with me. Her lack of a concept that things might change in the future ,her at times seeming numbness to everything around her. With the way the void is constantly unchanging where all you feel is hunger without end and you knew what actually living was like if I was in his position I would want to die too like Rubicante.

I think they are telling us Golbeze's motivations through Zero. Their difference is that one has been found by people that are reminding her of what she once had. While Golbez sees no other option other than suicide not just for him but for his entire world to end the endless suffering that constitutes their existence.

Maybe I'm totally off but that's just my opinion. I have actually played off and on every expansion but used to quit halfway through each one. I always found the pacing to be slow and I dint see where they we're going but I have since learned to trust that the end of their story's are worth the sometimes rather slow buildup. They have yet to disappoint me so far anyway.

[Rosenstrauch]

Welp, having played through 6.3 at last, I have to say...

The hate is pretty overblown. It's not great. Compared to even previous "middle of the story" patches, such as 3.2, 4.2-4.4, and 5.2, it's probably not in the upper half for me. But it wasn't terrible.

The writing surrounding Zero is all kinds of hamfisted, mind you. And they really overdid it with the hat tipping—it's cute once in a while, but doing it 1-2 times per conversation is excessive. But I like her. I like stories about hurt or broken people learning to live again. There's something genuinely sweet about it.

I also would've appreciated the writers not shafting the nuance in Rubicante's motive immediately, and instead letting it simmer for a while. And to be frank, the entire "Why is Azdaja in Garlemald? Why did Cagnazzo say his work was done when he died? Oh lol it was all a trap." thing was kind of an idiot plot. The worst part about it is that you could have all the exact same story beats without the Scions collectively sharing one brain cell.

Step One: Have the characters discuss Azdaja's sudden appearance in more detail. Have them recall that moving physical bodies through voidgates is nigh impossible if the gate is too small.
Step Two: Have them conclude that either a massive voidgate must exist in Garlemald, putting the entire region and indeed the whole world in jeopardy, or a much smaller piece of Azdaja had been passed through a more familiar-sized voidgate. Such as, say, one of her eyes. Either way, they will still need to investigate, but at least this way they aren't stumbling into an obvious trap.
Step Three: When Cagnazzo lets slip that his death achieved something, have the characters discuss this and realize the obvious: This was a distraction. But getting back to Thavnair is not immediately possible—they have no aetheryte access in this remote a place. They can send advance warning to Thavnair that something is amiss, but...
Step Four: The efforts to stop Rubicante's entrance into the Source would obviously be met with failure. This could then lead into the reveal of Rubicante's character by having him destroy the voidgate, but not harm the guards when he escaped.

Edit: Also, the end of the last quest is in line with my "idiot plot" complaint. We just came back from encountering a voidgate, opened through the use of a dragon's eye, in a place where doing so is significantly easier than elsewhere. At the very least, that should be the first thing the characters suggest, if only to refute it as a possibility.

I suppose I differ in that I definitely know that I and many others could easily provide a better story than what we got in Endwalker. Apart from my own rewrite which can be found here there have been multiple ones that have expanded upon and fleshed out territories such as Nhalmasque, the northern parts of Thavnair, etc.

We have think about this long time. Mistake is to rewrite old story. The Ayywalking it is stale. Rewrite it no point. Forum chara no longer have the interest. Now the Ayybeyond is only Ehhbeyond. Even story writer is make the food meme about it. Answer it is to rewrite new story. Is not rewrite is prewrite. This make course correct strong. We are guild lead and producer so we can give the outline.

Patch 64
It start with the Pandamen. Scientist Cloudian Strife is reincarnate Lahee. He is remember the past now from Crystal Memory. Reason Cloudian/Lahee is the simpythizer for Athens is because Athens was the twin. Twin sister of the Athens is evil Venar. Lahee is kill Athens but the Venar it escape Crystal Memory with the evil Loprabbit. Venar it has kill Alan in Elpis but reincarnate chara is escape. End of Pandamen.

So is rejoin to form Roedyne Big Cid. Big Cid is turning to Alphanod and Alise and say what is ideal government. They say democracy. Big Cid he punch them and say wrong fascism is ideal. Czar and high priest ruler is ok too as long as is dark chocolate fantasy medevil theme. Twins is cry because realize they have wasting the money on polisci degree when could have work at the burger king. So go to gym to bulk and become the Levilarge twin. Scallions team up with Emperess to find the Venar who has escape to bowels of Dalamad Subterrain with the cheesie burger. Was eaten by dogo Dalamad. So Scallion use mini spell to enter dogo. Inside they is fighting the Loprabbit. When get to stomach walls it close in. Twin Alphilarge and Aligains put back together and say we will push wall you must escape to fight the Venar.
