Thread: Revelations from Patch 5.5 (Part 2)

I really don't want them to start delving into more time travel shenanigans when we have so much of the world left unexplored.

The fact that Ilsabard's map is still not unveiled suggests that Endwalker is not involving it in a significant enough capacity for it to be off the table for future content/expansions.

Well, while traveling back we could be in Mide kind of situation. Where today exists because we went to the past.

Speaking of Ironworks. I wonder if because of them the Source ended up running from the wolf and stumbling on the bear? There was no mention of Ascians or Final days happening in the "bad future" and here we are facing possible complete destruction of the star.

There will be 10th anniversary in next expansion. I wonder if they will decide to do something grand.

Yeah, Emet asking us to remember, and his actions in 5.3 plus the perspective he has on the other two in the short stories really hammer home that he fully believed the others were to far gone and the cause was going to end with him one way or the other.

I can only imagine how bad Elidibus's memory issues would have gotten if he had won in 5.3. Even when Laha and Emet were both alive he was clearly degrading, without either around to even try to anchor him or believe in him as the person they once knew, it would have only gotten worse.

There's an AU somewhere where he lingers on autopilot for so long but forgets so much that Fandaniel could probably turn him into a direct lackey without much effort.

Super late on this but I just finally did the YoRHa finale. I'm not even going to hide this behind a spoiler tag because I have so little to say about it. It was just as confusing as the rest of the raid series to me. I didn't understand all the stats either. Someone in this thread said those are the stats from each server on who picked who, Anogg or Konogg. Well, I can't remember whose side I picked a long time ago so not sure if the ending is different.

I literally shrugged after it was over and moved on. Anyway, back to grinding Loathsome.

Emet just calling Lahabrea an idiot does come off a bit strange after Shadowbringers, probably because even at that point they were still nailing down the details of everything for the expansion. But I think its more or less workable. Going by the short story, both him and Elidibus expected Laha to get himself killed eventually, they have really hammered in the lore that he was the one who deteriorated the most, both mentally and in power.

So Emet being so flippant about it is probably a mix of Emet having had centuries of expecting this very thing to happen, him trying to bury his own grief, and probably on some level at the very least just a little bit of genuine resentment bleeding through. Resentment of his peer for not holding it together like he had through all the Eon's. Leaving him more or less carrying all the weight himself.

Really, the more we learn about the Unsundered, the more it reads like alongside everything else, Emet had to spend a significant portion of time playing some manner of care taker for the other two. Having to work to keep your two mentally degrading comrades on task for Eon's would take a huge toll on anyone.

I always figured he was seriously depressed, which was why he enjoyed sleeping so much. Being something of a caretaker for the other two definitely wouldn't help either, I agree. I think there's a lot of stuff he said or did that was pure acting front, and that's hard to keep up for just a short time, let alone for the amount of time he did. It's not like he could really give us much more than that front for most of the time we-as-WoL interact with him, but there were some small moments where I definitely wished my cat could've used more words. #HugsforHades
