Frankly, I'm impressed SE had the (Thal's) balls to go down this path. Though ... I will rescind every single one of such compliments if they ever harm Tataru. You leave Tataru alone.

I don't care, that she does not care so much about me, but that she just let Uldah be overtaken by lala fascists, this is bad. And I'm not talking of drawing a weapon and slaughtering the Lala's like Raubahn did (though, since he started... why not finish it, casting the blame on their dead corpses?)

There's also

Add Wilred among the confirmed dead and Alianne amongst the missing.

Wilred may have actually hurt the most for me - you'd known him for so long and he was just a stupid kid who was trying his hardest.

Also;

Don't worry about Haurchefant, that's just what he's like.

Don't think that Y'shtola was calling a spirit bomb, I personally think that was the Ultima spell she conjured.
(Also - Newsflash - Papalymo dropped the AURA spell on Yda - Personally hoping that shows up since we haven't seen it since FFXIII.)
I think Haurchefant was being very Ishgardian at that moment.

As for Limsa, Gridinia, and even the Flames in Ul'Dah - Go talk the the commanders at the the GC's and you will get brought up on that. As for the Admiral - talk to her lift attendant (there are two lifts there don't forget) and talk to the escort to the Lotus Sands and/or the guy next to him to get some info on the Seedseerer's position too.

I expect Aymeric will either put us to work, or will do all he can to help clear our names. If not dig up Teleji for sheer crap he said before...well...splitting from the story...

Whatever it was, it was most certainly NOT Ultima. Ultima is a plot point in FFXIV, and would have probably blown up the entirety of Ul'dah (see Praetorium).

Besides, isn't Ultima usually Black Magic, not White?

Ultima is non-elemental but usually categorized as black magick. If anything, Y'shtola is casting Holy.. her body movements and the spell look rather familiar.

Given that our PC is technically the only WHM, I'm more inclined to think that what Y'shtola used was simply a giant aether bomb (...which, then again, is probably the same thing that Holy does, but in a different fashion) from channeling a pretty significant amount of aether. She has demonstrated the capacity for channeling aether in unique ways, on account of being Sharlayan, so this likely is just another form of those abilities.

That said, that aether bomb might explain why Hydaelyn suddenly spoke to Minfilia, as the sheer amount of aether concentrated in that location might have allowed the (probably still weak) Mothercrystal to briefly communicate with her. Though that doesn't explain why Hydaelyn only chose to speak to Minfilia...

Interestingly, Y'shtola's last words were "mhitra" (smn quest giver/also from sharlayan) I do wonder if they truly are siblings?

Urianger was surprising, although I think he's not a traitor and is there to speak with Elidibus since he always was open to discuss things with WoL and Co.

Also, what's with Tataru giving all those evil looks?

Seemed like they were suggesting Tataru was party to it. The odd choice of parting words, the look and all the talk about fudged numbers for the Crystal Braves. Maybe it was just a smokescreen though?
