Final Fantasy XIV Hot Takes

[TheMightyMollusk]

What if, and hear me out, the entire world would be fedora wearers?

In the face of the endless chorus of m'lady echoing from the farthest stars, I would welcome the silence of the Final Days with open arms.

A fedora wearing husky neckbeard is going to rise from the depths like Cthulu to an endless choirs of m'ladys echoing in your head like Baal in the Diablo 2 intro cinematic. As we all fail our sanity checks.

You still shouldn't kill people but you had to make it hard to say that! >

Hot Takes... Yugiri is more " Waifuh " material then Y'shtola is " Mommy " material. ( /slap Y'shtola ) in-fact? Y'shlata is like the Scion with the worst personality out of all the Scions. In-fact? Imma go as far as to say that a mage of Y'shlula's caliber somehow embodies being useless more in Endwalker then Tataru embodying being as useful as she could be.

Yes I said it...
PS: I am just wanting a certain someone from Discord to read this and flip out on VC

Y'shtola is basically the resident Ice Queen everybody is obsessed with for some reason despite her only personality being "cold and distant." She has basically been the one Scion I feel like my WoL would constantly argue with, and the only times I have felt like I've seen personality from her are when she's with Runar, and the goofiness in 6.1. Like seriously, it's sad that those have been the ONLY times I've seen actual personality from her.

Omnicide is objectively bad regardless of the reasoning you apply to it. There is no adequate justification.

I'm not sure what this is a reply to, but I feel like Mass Effect applied it pretty well.

Mid'shtola lmao.

I believe in Y'mhitra superiority.

Y'shtola annoyed me from the beginning with her arguing with the Admiral about how Limsa started the aggression against the beast tribes. Okay, they did. And what exactly? What do you want them to do now? Just give up and let the primals kill everything? And she made a point to call her out on it a number of times when we're sitting there trying to plan something. I get why they did it, but it fell flat for me.

I don't mind her as much anymore, they seem to be trying to make her not just the cold, distant, genius anymore, well, at least a little bit less so.

I love how dry she is, personally, but I understand why she's divisive on the other hand, if you don't connect with that. Having played ARR again recently, she had a little fire and an almost aggressive impatience for what she considered nonsense back then (remember when she snapped at Wheiskaet during the Company of Heroes quests -- saying what we were all feeling lol), something she hasn't really hung onto in subsequent expansions. But it doesn't help that her current English v/a often gives kind of a wooden performance (no shade to her; I've heard her give great performances in other games and even in this one, as other NPC's and bosses like Titania, so I assume she's making a choice for Shtola that just doesn't always work for me).

That said, I agree that she gets boring when the writers treat her as nothing more than an avatar of exposition, which is more often than not the case. But I'm glad she's been given a little more levity recently.

...Aight, you've got me on that one. An entire world of hat-tipping, fedora-wearing m'lady types is certainly an exception. Those must not be suffered to exist, even if the rest of the universe has to die with them.
