Dedicated Thread for Patch 2.55 Story Discussion/Spoilers

[Wavytiger]

Hmmm, I almost want to stay awake for it.

Sorry Camate, I have a little complaint:

Why not using /HIDE tag like other forum does? Or even better, adding HIDE button on forum toolbars? Not everyone will remember using that, especially outside this thread. ^^;

I think I am pretty much going to avoid the forum and reddit until after I complete the story quest. All it would take is a thread title by some moron to spoil things for me, and I want to relish every bit.

I'm going to cry if anything happens to Nanamo or Tataru!

I'll go live on Twitch and shout, "NOOOO!!!!! WHHHYY????!!!! D: D: D: D: D: MY LOVELY LALAFELLS DON'T LEAVE ME!!"

Through hidden ninja means, I found out what this patch will reveal that will shock us all!

Minfillia revealing that she has breast implants! It all makes sense now!

The music played when riding the magitek armor and gilded magitek armor mounts has been changed.

O.O

That means we finally get the FFVI music for magiteks? *_* :O

I hope so! Going to instant mount to check!

It is, it was mentioned in a blog post the other day.

I just finished the 2.55 storyline.

OMG! SO MUCH F****** BULL SH**!!!!!

Raubahn gets fed up with Teledji Adeledji's crap and kills him. YES! Thank you! Unfortunately, from that point forward, we are met with an onslaught of stupidity and cowardice.

After watching the Sultana get murdered and Raubahn's arm gets cut off, Merlwyb and Kan-e-Senna just say "welp, after watching Raubahn's betrayal unfold before our very eyes, we're gonna abandon our old comrade in arms and the leader of the armies of Ul'dah in his direst moment of need to die."

Raubahn then frees me, the warrior of light who slays gods and could kill Ilberd and every last f****** Brass Blade and Crystal Brave on my own. I also leave him alone to die.

The scions all throw their lives away for nothing (well, I'm sure they aren't really dead but they make it look like they are gone). Papalymo could have just shut the stupid gate to block the reinforcements and went with everyone. Thancred, Yshtola, and Minfilia stay behind for no good reason. Remember: I COULD HAVE KILLED EVERY SINGLE ENEMY PURSUING US! Why do I just run away with my tail between my legs and let my allies throw their lives away?

Then just to add insult to stupidity, the Ishgardians tell me they can't grant my request for asylum until they are no longer under threat of attack. WTF?! I just saved their d*** country from a huge dragon and have been recognized by the leader of their military as a hero! They should be thanking their gods for their good fortune that I have come knocking at their door and will be on their soil to help defend them from future attacks.

Please, SE, stop writing this kind of story. It seems none of the good guys except Raubahn had a brain or a spine and we abandoned him like a bunch of retarded cowards. I can put up with lame or mediocre stories (e.g. Most of the rest of this game's storyline), but not this kind of stupid where the heroes so badly lack any combination of intelligence and courage.

There is a saying we have in America: "all that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing." Watching a story like this just makes me mad, especially when I have a character in the story who is the one letting evil triumph by doing nothing. IRL I'm not powerful enough save the world or do much at all. One of the reasons I like games and fantasy is to be able to be the kind of hero I could only dream about being IRL. Heck, that's why we like Superhero movies so much. I know I'm not the only one who feels that way. I can put up with my character simply not being powerful enough and losing, but I can't put up with my character lacking the courage to fight.
