Bye, Shadowbringers. You were the best yet, yet the next best yet is yet to yet.

Farewell, Feo Ul.

Flighty fae kind may be, but yours was the wisest counsel.

I have a feeling we haven't seen the last of Feo ul.

I swear. I played Shadowbringers in JP voiceover, and Feo Ul sounds much less bossy in that version - more so sprightly and feisty. In that scene I legitimately burst into tears because I just wanted to hug her and cry into her shoulder, given how comforting she was. She's my favourite character.

For those who have finished al the MSQ...read this, its a HOOT

Speaking of the Archon Loaf, someone actually decided to try making it in real life. Even for an improvised recipe, the end result is shockingly accurate to the game, and tastes as disgusting as you'd expect.

Lmao, that Ifrit person reminds me of the character I met back before Crystal DC was a thing.

I was on my Balmung person, before I got into RP in XIV, and I saw this Miqote. They were named, "Ifritswife." And they had a Tumblr link in their examine comment, which was a Tumblr page of them getting Rule 34'd with Ifrit. lmao

That was back in like 2015, maybe early 2016.

you mean Original me back before heavenward even existed ' good thing I still have my old steam from back then somehow I thought I lost the ss forever



the hole ifirtswife was after they forced name change on me (Which to this day I am angry over)

which is why I'm both happy for endwalker summoner but also pissed off at the devs about it, we told them to do that very thing back then yet noone listen until now

Shadowbringers was definitely something!

I was almost halfway through third year of med school. The expansion launched on the same day I took the first of three major board exams. I remember getting home and, after staring at a computer screen for about 8 hours, being too tired to actually play. I just unlocked DNC and went to bed. The next few days would be dedicated to leveling DNC and getting through the MSQ, and mannnn... I loved the MSQ. Enjoyed DNC, too! It was pretty simple, but the zip zapping of en avant made it so much fun.

This was also the expansion in which I first got into RP. It was not really something I'd even dabbled in before, but I got into it and ended up liking it quite a bit! My writing still kinda sucks, but I enjoy the creative aspect and just thinking of where my character's story could go...

This expansion was also somewhat bittersweet, as I lost a few friends, but also made new ones. Kinda fits the feeling of the expansion, I suppose.

Beyond Shadowbringers, I am struck by the finality of this arc. I have been playing this game since the 2.0 beta back in 2013... I was working on a psych major in undergrad at the time, not really knowing exactly where I was going. Now, I am interviewing for a potential residency position somewhere. It has been a "long and arduous journey", as Alphy would say.

Good bye, Shadowbringers.
Hello, Endwalker... and everything beyond.
I look forward to it.
