Revelations from Patch 6.5: "Growing Light", Part 1

[SannaR]

Bumping as I don't remember anyone mentioning any of these things. That and this stuff doesn't really fit well under any of the more recent thread topics.

I found out that you are able to poke the twins once you're done with 6.5. They're outside of their house on the left. Alphinaud is still thinking about how much more they could be helping Garlemald in their recovery. Another hint at a Garlean restoration of some kind down the road. He also assumes we have been enjoying our current down time. Alisaie on the other hand wishes she could have been at the banquet and assumes everyone who had been in attendance had a great time. Then informs us that dear old dad said that he wishes to have a sit down with us. And I'm here going oh my what of the various topics would he want a private chat about?

There's so many such as our time in Ultima Thule, Elpis, Pandaemonium, half of the playerbase's headcannon of starting adoption papers for the twins, our time on the first, half of the playerbase deciding to dress his wife up in skimpy clothes even if she asked us to, what went on with the twelve, our ability to summon a demi version of Phoenix. I then got curious to see if any other npcs had new things to say and there are some. Though I will admit I'm not sure as to when these changes happened. Jevan who's right outside the Leveileur estate says that he's been telling his friends that if they really want to know more about the WoL that they should be reading The White Yonder which we now know is penned by Honoroit.

Georjeaux mentions that they are trying to work on a play based on our exploits in Ultima Thule. While Bevis mentions that there is a debate on which of the Scions could deliver the strongest single blow. They're behind it being Alisaie while there are many who figure it's Estinien. The Alisaie fan might have new dialogue, but I'm not sure. I'm also not sure if one of the other npcs in the studium mentioning a bigger interest in prophecies especially those talked about in papers that were written by Louisoix is new or not. If you poke around the Noumenon it seems that there is a race to be the first to write and publish a book on the Scions. That any book already in existence that has any mentioning of the Scions or the Circle of Knowing are in high demand.

Typical Sharlayan bias, it's obviously Estinien unless you're actively trying to deny that it is. Alisaie can't do those kinds of bombing strikes!

I could see an alternative case being made for strongest critical strike, Estinien's attacks are a little too... big to go for a weak point (unless the weak point is similarly big, like that tower in The Peaks). But even then I'd probably put my money more on Y'shtola.
