    Hi you magnificent people!

    I just wanted to quickly frantically-thumbs-up at the Hamilton references woven into Stormblood - I'm a huge fan, and as with any other culturally relevant media I was looking forward to some silly echo in a FATE title or quest name, and smiled more than once going through the Yanxia MSQ...

    ...and then I got to the "to the four of us" drinking scene, /and then I got to Lyse's dad quoting "dying is easy, living is harder" almost directly, IN PERFECT CONTEXT/, and - there's a lot of thematic resonance between Stormblood and Hamilton (especially since the end of the 4.0 MSQ really is the world turned upside down, and now the back half of the expansion is going to be, "okay, how do we rebuild and govern and avoid making the mistakes of the past and build a better nation"), so instead of feeling cheesy, as a huge Hamilton fan that moment hit me /really/ hard.

    ...having said all that, thank you for -not- making a "the world was wide enough" reference w/r/t Zenos. I probably would have died. My heart couldn't take it...
