Revelations from SHADOWBRINGERS

[RicaRuin]

Auracite it is.

The lesser Ascians cannot sustain themselves without immediate access to a replacement body, while the overlords can freely exist without one and can overtake living hosts.

In Zenos' case he's always had empty replacements readily at hand so it's hard to say just how immortal he actually is.

I'm bored of his boredom since time before last...

If we've learned anything from Naruto it's that having funky eyes gives you new powers as the plot demands.

What started out as "an eye that creates a hypnotic technique allowing to copy moves" evolved into "creates unquenchable flames, impenetrable force field giant suits of armor, allows one to phase into another dimension, and can rewind time"

Considering the 'soul' is aether, I'm on the side of Black Rose being able to kill body hoppers. Since what they're doing is moving their aether to another body. If the aether coagulates then they can't move it, meaning their soul is stuck in a dead body.

He certainly seems to have known it by the time he show's up before Varis. He talks about "Lahabrea's crowning act of idiocy".

Emet definitely knew Lahabrea was dead. He was likely informed by Elidibus, when the latter woke him from his slumber.

How much of the specifics of Lahabrea's death Elidibus knew are unclear, but he likely passed on whatever he could. Lahabrea's "crowning act of idiocy" could simply be managing to die at the hands of a mortal at all, specifics be damned.

Honestly Emet wasnt even asleep that long

I have to say,
I am only about halfway through it at this point, but this has been an outstanding expansion this one rivals Heavensward.

Honestly when I got to the end of the Stormblood expansion back when, I had no motivation to even play any further into that expansion I just disliked it that much. The Stormblood MSQ just turned me off sooo badly I left the game. While I liked... and was into the Doman portion... I just could not stand the Al Mhigans. Part of that is all on SE... throughout ARR and into Heavensward almost every Al Mhigan you meet is either a total sleezebag, overly emotional zealot, or someone who knifes you in the back the first chance they get.

By the time I finished ARR and Heavensward, I was like... the Empire can KEEP Al Mhigo. Only time I ever wanted to side with the Imperials thoughout an expansion. I think I wanted to puke thinking about how I "liberated" Al Mhigo. I didn't even hang around long enough to see the Raid scene. I thought maybe it was just a bad taste in my mouth of the numerous nerfs and changes handed out at the beginning of SB...

BUT... after coming back for the Shadowbringers campaign and... starting a new character and going through ALL the campaigns in order again from scratch... nope it was Definitely just the MSQ for Stormblood that I couldn't stand.

Shadowbringers though... looks, feels, and plays like a true Final Fantasy adventure. Even down to the smallest things, like the putting the Golem back togather to use the rail system. It just drips of real FF feel, and actually seems to tilt more to the feel of the later Final Fantasy games like FF7. While Stormblood had some of the trappings of old FF games... Shadowbringers actually feeels like one of them.

While I am still not sure I'd put it above Heavensward at this point... It's really close.

Hoping for loads of Amaurot/Ancients lore!
