Thread: Revelations from Patch 5.5 (Part 2)

MSQ Sidenotes for inbetween dialogue

At the very beginning when Urianger and Estinien stay behind, Urianger says, "Being Elezens of a like age perhaps we share interests. Perhaps I shall share a copy of one of my finest treatises with him." Oh Urianger, you sweet summer child.

MSQ about Sharlayan

Hear me out. I know I've made my bias clear, but uhh, no Fourchenault is not doing any sort of advanced play to protect the children he readily disowned. He doesn't even care or know what they've been through, and was happy to let them wander and risk their lives in what he considers savage lands. That hash piped, pointy-eared son of a gun doesn't give one single damn about the twins. I bet you 500 gil that he didn't even want them to be born. Another 500 that he doesn't have a good relationship with his wife. He's garbage.

I had thought that

he and his fellow Forum-ites had been tempered, but I also like your take on it. Gives me a better excuse/higher chance of beating on him like he owes me money. F this guy. WE are the twins’ family. I bet Count Edmont will welcome Alph back, and Alisaie too.

MSQ musings

I had been considering leveling a healer so I could hang with Giott, but that stint as Urianger has left me with newfound respect, awe even, for everyone who plays one. Never realized before how crazy it can get trying to keep yourself plus everybody else alive.

Oh, and if Venat can come talk at me, then surely she can say something a little more helpful than a reminder that everyone dies if I flub this. I really hope she tells me more about why/how she chooses people and why/how she’s been growing weaker. I also continue to hope she or somebody else finishes Zenos so I don’t have to.

Now that would bring a big smile to the hero, I'm sure.

I could also see them using the player surname, unless they have plans of having them voice act their temporary ones. Alisaie Moonsong kinda has a nice ring to it, don'tcha think?

Though inevitably this would lead to memes, because a lot of folks have really whacky/not thought out names... I think I'd love the Fortemps idea the best. Though I suspect their first choice would be their mother's maiden name, maybe? If they have those in Sharlayan/FFXIV world.

Or they can count on big brother Estinien.

Yeah, I'm feelin' ya, Ms. Joestar.

Tempering is certainly a possibility if they did strike gold with all their Aetherial Sea dipping. If they do got Hydaelyn chained up in the basement, then I could defintiely see that being the case. Though, I also think it might not be the case... and I absolutely have nothing other than intuition going for my silly post theory on them having her in their basement.
