Didn't know there was a wiki of her already! I'll put this in my OP!

I wish there could be more content or a quest related to her. It is a very sad ending for such cheerfull/good girl NPC to die cuz of her stupid party members.

It would be good to help her find piece, but if she can't be helped we need to end her and elimante her spirit xD!!!

The party members only added to her grief. Avere head was chopped off and Edda was too far away to heal, so it's basically an Aerith moment.
If they dead, they dead lol.
It didn't matter if she could heal him or not, he was done for as she can't rez a decapitated head lol. So it wasn't her fault at all.

I actually think a sad story like hers should just keep being sad... don't always need a happy ending. If they did add more to put her to peace
that'll be awesome, maybe have her and Avere together in the end. So either way I'll be happy.

I think I'd be happy if they just left Edda's story where it is. Keep putting the odd creepy thing like this in every now and then, perhaps in more bold ways (can you imagine if she was hidden away in the crowd during the party at Ul'dah?), to remind us, but don't "resolve" the story.

If she does show up again, I'd like it to involve the party that was outside Sastasha (Hard). Rather than giving Edda a happy ending, give them one where they resolve their issues and don't go down a similar path to Edda's group, perhaps after the end up in Tam-Tara (Extreme). That would be a great way to give us a "happy" ending without breaking Horror 101 by redeeming the vengeful spirit. Leave Edda to do what she does best, any "good end" at this point should simply involve Edda not claiming more victims. Giving her a happy ending would be like giving Samara a hug after she climbs out of your TV...

@ Nalien ur idea of it is meh. I want one of that group to die too.

That would be the true horror route to go with it, which I'd actually prefer (well, not quite), but some people seem to want a happy ending. I'd just rather that happy ending not be for Edda.

Edda's character arc is one of tragedy and horror. You don't fling someone off the deep end like that and then end it with sunshine and rainbows. They milk the character now until the movies stop being popular, or they stop while they're ahead. Personally I'd like it if we got a "happy" ending for the party only to later find out things go horribly wrong, without even needing to bring Edda in at that point. Leave it up to the players own imagination at that point.

I'd say actually beating Edda would be out of the question, too. You never beat the big bad in a horror movie, at best you survive it.

That video on the shore is so creepy...

The Sastasha (Hard) group was specifically a call back to Edda's group, complete with one of them saying they almost lost their heads (if I remember right). Otherwsise though their group actually got along, which is most likely why they survived. Plus not every story has a happy ending, nor has to. I mostly say this because I still want raid boss Edda because I would find it hilarious...and that might give us a good excuse to go into the Void again.

Yes, she was sad, but you need to notice how the bad attitude of her party (close friends) push her to the edge. I want her to be saved or be destroyed not a vague ending if they decided to add more.

@ Nalien ur idea of it is meh. I want one of that group to die too.

@dualblade may be they did but not included Edda. They tread her in such a way that blame her for the death of her fiance/group leader. By the way that they were with her in the CS, it shows that they constantly harassing her when they see her.

It's actually funny that this became a real thing in the game - lol. Back during the Halloween event I made a fake SS of Edda wandering around the housing district's and told like 10-12 people from my FC (and friends) I'd seen her wandering around. That I thought it was part of the Halloween event - They believed me and I had them looking all over the place for this supposed "Edda Ghost". At one point it even ended up on reddit - I don't know how lol. XD

This is what I had made:



- and now she's REALLY in the game. That is so cool - I wanna see her, but haven't as of yet~!

If you go to the Sastasha entrance, there's a different group of NPCs there now. The tank is the one who's being bullied (instead of what happened with Edda's group where the healer was being bullied).

Holyshit. Great job SE for adding something like this in. Stories like this are quite rare in an MMO setting and damn it surely adds a different kind of flavour into an MMO game with such elements. Love it.
