Somewhat interesting, though it confirms that the writers have already forgotten that the Scions are disbanded on the world stage as Carin-Eri pointed out. Oh FFXIV writing, will you ever get good again?

This framing of Corvos is a bit bizarre to me though. "Originally" an Allagan province, filled with foreign Miqote slaves to till the land, they still haven't told us when the Garleans got there? Were they the ones subjugated by the Allagans? Would that not make them the original, "Corvosi?" I suppose this makes it make sense as to why they struck the name Corvos from the record, since that would be a name given to the land by the foreign Miqote slaves after their successful revolt.

Also it's a bit droll all of the references to time and the tides of time being unstoppable when the story's from the PoV of a guy who literally broke time in the setting by time traveling to rewrite/unwrite history.

What is this fixation on having G'raha Tia eat though? Even in this short story we get him carted off to a meal at the end, and then the shot of him and Hien eating rice balls. It was cute once, but it's already overdone.

Mildly interesting reveal to Hien's exact age, and a bit funny that G'raha thinks of himself as being that age in spite of him actually being like, what, 326 really?


All in all I'm a bit disappointed in this one. They finally stop going for memberberries, and they muck it up. Does not inspire faith. Though I do wonder what 4th story will be. Maybe 4th story will inspire faith.
