Padjal Quest Part I

[-__-]

From there, players can explore Feymarch, attune to its crystal, buy items exclusive to Feymarch from merchants, etc. The quest can continue as Kan-E-Senna requests an audience with King Leviathan & Queen Asura on behalf of the player. The King can explain that the surface people are increasingly endangering Hydaelyn & they're considering exterminating them all. Queen Asura expresses she is pleased Kan-E-Senna has found someone willing to surrender their birth-race to directly intervene with the surface peoples as a more peaceful measure to King Leviathan's alternative.

King Leviathan & Queen Asura can then perform a "Ritual of Rebirth" (which ties in the whole A Realm Reborn theme), ending the quest in a brilliant light before returning them to the character page with the "Ritual of Rebirth" option present, like the Fantasia drink. When the player finishes the character changes & logs in, the brilliant light can coalesce into the player, displaying their new form in the cutscene.

I believe this would take FFXIV ARR to an entirely new level of excellence & enrichment for players. This quest would be one any player can accomplish if willing to do all that is necessary to become a Padjal. Although simultaneously this optional quest prevents playable-race saturation because the path to Padjalhood is deeply augurous simply due to the fact only a select few enjoy healing as a role. If Padjalhood granted stats bonuses, it could be both Mind & Piety (not too high perhaps between 5 & 10 each), as we all know the weakness of White Mages lack of Mana Points.

Thanks for listening
