    Well, technically...
    She is but she isn't. She's the Yda we know but the Yda we know is not actually Yda, but her sister.

    I took this as the 1.0 players knew Yda, but the 2.0+ have only ever met Lyse.

    ....it was kinda boring/predictable. Best part was Nero, who was amazing . fight was...fine. Yda/Lyse reveal was a giant letdown like..ok? Also stop with the dragons. They're not that interesting anymore.

    I haven't tried, but opening Airships between all 5 current 'nations' would have been amazing. 'Ul'dah, Grid, Limsa, Ishgard, Mor Dhona'.' Even if no one used them, it would have solidify the union.

    Also why are the GCs involved at all? They literally did nothing? Just give the Scions to continue doing what they always do? How about send back up? Bad writing is bad.

    I don't think so. Its probably unlikely that the real Yda had the same type of relationship with Papalymo that Lyse has. Papalymo seems to have been tasked to protect Lyse after Yda died, which is why Lyse and Papalymo were so close. I think the Yda we've knwon even from 1.0 has always been Lyse.

    Actually you know what I find most interesting?? Since Heavensward, there's been more of an effort to make your character less... generic (I saw emotes that weren't stoic nodding this patch! :O). NPCs acknowledge more and more that you probably have different things you'd prefer to do, and with the solo trial especially it's as though they tried to make it feel like a team effort with your Scion buddies, instead of them just sending you off to fight for them. You also see more characters getting called out for treating the WoL like a mindless fighter sent out to fight their battles every time.



    I think since the Warriors of Darkness patch is when it really started to make you think where exactly your character's motivations are coming from and how they might relate to the bigger picture.

    ... I dunno, I thought it was interesting. ^^;
