[Spoiler] Hoary Boulder and Coultenet (and the missing Scions)

[EdwinLi]

The last time we saw Hoary Boulder and his friend Coultenet was in 2.55 and since then they have been MIA. At the end of 3.1 their location has been found in the Rising Stone...

Hoary Boulder and Coultenet are currently in Thavanir guarding F'lhaminn.

along with....

Papalymo and Yda already located to be with the Ala Mhigo resistance but our allies in the Rising Stone are having difficulty earning the Resistance trust due to how majority of the Crystal Braves turned on the Scions.

Krile and Thrancred have also found a way to located Minfillia but Krile is still working on preparing things.

A bit disappointing that a semi important NPC like F'lhaminn is revealed as ok in such a minor way. I doubt many people would bother interacting with these NPC and something like this could atleast have been a shot scene with Riol (or other Braves member) saying they discovered them there.

Instead it's an npc banter

This has been a thing in FF14 ARR since 2.0 though.

A lot of side story can easily be missed if players do not check up on what is happening in the Scion's base as they progress through the Main Storyline. Heck through 2.0, that archer from Edda's group joined the Scion during 2.0 but most players would not know about that because they never bothered to check on the Scion's base and talked to the NPCs.

Not to mention the side-story covering Hoary Boulder and Coultenet that has been going on through 2.X era in the Rising Stone. Most people probably didn't even cared about Hoary Boulder and Coultenet's little misadventures happening as NPC banters until SE decided to finally put them in a Main Story Quest.

Oh thank gods

I haven't been back and read their NPC chat yet (I'm slow) but I was honest to god worried about those two (they say the BEST THINGS I really don't understand people who go through RPGs and hvaen't learned the trick to "TALK TO EVERYONE"...literally everyone).
