Does anyone know if Estinien reacts differently if you START the dragoon quests AFTER meeting him in the 2.55 main story quests?

**Remus** · 04-02-2015 05:51 AM

Chances are nothing is going to change. The CUL quest didn't change so I highly doubt the dragoon quest will change. Its good to say all of these quest happen pre-2.1. Making changes to text and such in all honesty for them would be a waste of time. Even though i would like it to change a bit it won't.

Estinien does in fact react differently to me. I don't know what point you have to get to in said quests (I have the Dragoon quest line finished), but he acknowledged me as his fellow Azure Dragoon (even though I was currently equipped as WHM). Nothing big, but more or less a passing nod acknowledging the fact that he recognizes you.

The only thing that was removed was ''the blessing of light''. Which isnt actually the power of light, but just its protection against super powerful abilities (IE: ultima)
Not to mention lorewise you could still summon even that, if your character really wanted to.

I'm probably over looking something though.

Yeah its not like we defeated an Ascian single-handedly in his own territory right after we lost the blessing of the light, or anything.

Anyone without a Level 50 CUL and haven't finished the CUL quests? I'm curious to see if they changed anything.

Thatll be interesting to see.

We may be tough, but teamwork is really what allows us to accomplish what we have. An NPC that plots to catch you alone when you're at your weakest is actually pretty realistic considering in-game mechanics.

I dunno how lucky youve been with your groups, but ive been in situations where myself or someone else had to do just that. You know I've run in circles as a white mage before, while kiting and killing 4-5 mobs.
Its faster as a summoner/scholar tho.

As far as in-game mechanics go tho, how much damage do you think a brass blade sword would deal if you just stood there in your i120-i130 and just let them hit you?

Know what would be kinda cool?

If you actually DID kinda go evil for a bit in a side story. Like you help Raubahn escape, Cid would build him a new arm and Raubahn becomes a quest giver that basically sends you to murder traitorous Braves and Monetarists. It'd be pretty counter-intuitive on proving your innocence but it'd still be pretty cool.

**Waffilicious** · 04-02-2015 06:43 AM

As much as i raged yesterday by my character's passiveness, now with a clearer head i can say even if we fought ilbard (whats his name) with raubahn i don't think we would win, i mean we are strong, but there are even stronger npcs than us, the big difference is that we are immune to tempering and we got the light weapon on our side for those super void mobs.

I would still love to fight my way out the tunnels :<

I think I'm gonna go level Culinary on an alt just to find out what happens, if nobody has already.

Someone already did, she's still there. (it's a way back around page 10 or something.)

No but she does have the same very ironic line she had before, let me see if I can find the page for you and edit this.

Meet Zombie Nanamo. The first of many possible plot holes, now that the "bubble" has been burst. Her undeath has opened a whole new afterworld of possibilities. This could get interesting.

Text is kind of small in the quote, so youll have to click the link to the original post.
