New Heavensward Short Stories!

By that logic Ysayle's even more minor, as we knew her for an even shorter time than Haurchefant.

Ysayle seems to be listed on the site as a major lore figure. IDK if that means we haven't seen the last of her. Count Edmont is too and we don't know him well either (outside of being Haurchefant's dad as well as Our Humble Narrator)

Alas, it's true! Poor guy doesn't even have a unique model. Heck his half-brothers at least have unique outfits.

...Not that I wouldn't love a Haurchefant short. He's one of my favorite characters in this game (second perhaps only to Hraesvelgr since I have a Dragon Problem)

[Dalvy]

Something about Hraesvelgr and Nidhogg would likely be the most urgent topic

Ysayle's story is up. Most curiously....why did the Ul'dahn merchant (who was a front for the Ivy) make deals with her heretic sect?

An attempt at fueling instability in Ishgard so that, if weakened, the Garleans could swoop in and conquer it?

I doubt it was anything so conspiratorial. He probably just thought that the Dravanians and heretics stood a good chance of conquering Ishgard and wanted to be in their good graces while making gil.

So basically all we get for "closure" with Ysyale is that Hraesvelgr agreed to take her to Azys La and just abandon her. Fuck you, Yoshi and story team (go ahead and ban me from the forums for saying that IDC), I'm still mad. Kill off a well-done female Elezen character for additional shock value, and don't even have her mentioned in any sort of honoring or memorial at the end of 3.0. Piss off.

Oh but hey there's a Ysayle minion to be released some time in the future, mog station only probably please look forward to it.

I suppose you never went back to Tailfeather or Anyx Trine, then? Her passing did leave a hole in the world where she once was, which is already better treatment than most characters get in FFXIV. Still, "redemption = death" is one of, if not my least favorite ways for characters to go.

That said, just a hunch, but I wouldn't count her out just yet.

Why don't you tell us how you really feel?

I think this is a different merchant. We caught the Ivy in 2.4. Ysayle, here, wants to "finish what Vishap started," (Vishap died in 2.5), implying that this merchant is selling her the supplies to launch the second attack that drew Aymeric from the banquet.
