[4.4 Spoilers] That hilarious Y'shtola Cutscene...

[Maeka]

Anybody else break out laughing during the Magnai/Y'shtola cutscene?

That was just hilarious, though it seems like they kinda dashed any Magnai/Suda shippers... they really don't seem like they wanna get along whatsoever.

IMO, that'd have to be one of the big highlights of the 4.4 MSQ, though I didn't particularly like the time limit so late in the solo duty with no restart checkpoints in the battles.

Failed the first time because I wasn't prepared for a time limit that freaking tense, and I did it as a WHM, so DPS was a bit lacking.

Guilty.

Even the dev. team acted (LIVE letter Q&A) like it was self-evidence that Magnai and Sadu were destined to end up together, but too stubborn oblivious to actually make any progress on it.

When I saw them in the trailer, I thought for sure they were going back to tie that off nicely, but this was so much better. Not only does it capture the pair's core essence well, it plays off the same trope as Carvallain and Rhoswen (in spite of my headcanon that they've been occasionally hooking up and fighting in cycles since at least '62).

But what made the joke for me was how Y'shtola's everyday personality (reserved, professional, concise, soul-crushingly observant of you motives and insecurities; no doubt a result of spending her adolescence alone with Matoya) so authentically swung through the whole Steppe dynamic like a wrecking ball. I for one think she's hilarious, especially as she grows more comfortable occasionally throwing deadpan shade for her own amusement.

My favorite line was probably when Y'shtola realizes she's becoming Matoya.

[Ramesses]

That was truly hilarious...

"Little Sun"

That one will shtick for a while. I think what really did it for me was the instantaneous change on her face as she said it.

Priceless.

This was easily my favorite scene of the patch, and there were a lot of good ones.

[ObsidianFire]

It was a great scene. Especially since you could see it coming once Y'shtola started Yuna's sending animation and watched Magnai's face. And then Y'shtola comes up with the best derogatory name for Magnai right in front of Sadu.

I'm at least happy that the Oronir/Buduga alliance won't be picking up the Dorthal as allies... they certainly don't need any more tribes ailed with them then there already are. And to be frank, the Dorthal can do a lot better then the Oronir in terms of good tribes to ally with...

[Dualblade]

If we didn't already know that Magnai and Sadu aren't currently a thing one would be remiss for thinking Magnai thought Sadu was cheating on him with us. Her English delivery certainly had an air of ecstacy from fighting us.

But yes Y'shtola continues to be one of the best characters in this game.

[Annana]

Her English delivery certainly had an air of ecstacy from fighting us.

I'm pretty sure going at it hard in battle is how Sadu does it. She shows little interest in anything that isn't mutually beating the crap out of another person.

[Theodric]

Magnai can always settle down with Hien and the Buduga. At this point, I doubt it's a coincidence that Hien is so fond of spending time with the Xaela and allowing the Buduga, in particular, to chase and fawn after him.

[Lauront]

He's always with Daidukul, after all.
