Endwalker Main Scenario Commentary & Feedback

[EdwinLi]

I have not gone through the whole story yet but I spoiled my self to the final boss.

SPOILER Final Boss fight

I have to say almost everyone called it being Zenos BUT Yoshi-p and the developer team did it in such a cinematic way it is actually exciting to go through.

It is not a trial where you have to party up to complete. It is simply a single player one versus one battle not for determine the fate of the entire world but simply because of a personal reason.

WoL could have just left Zenos and returned home since he would have died there no matter what but WoL, for whatever personal reason the player themselves choose to think up is the reason he/she went through with the fight, is acting for once in his/her own personal interests with no strings attached nor grand plan pushing him/her to do it.

It is simply a fight to the death to a point near the end Zenos and WoL just threw away their weapons and started punch each other like Snake and Ocelot at the finale of Metal Gear Solid 4.

I can't describe the amount of joy, excitement, and enterainment I had watching the fight play out as WoL and Zenos just let it all go at each other without any restraints. This is without knowing the Main Storyline since I am still going through with it myself but once I get there with knowledge of the story that built up to this moment, I feel I will have amplified my enjoyment even more watching it again with actual context to the events.

is it intentional that the 'blessing of light' rather than the echo is referred too for protection from tempering?

[vormela]

It could be one of those things like how characters referred to the towers as having Garlean architecture when it is clearly Void Arky looking. They seem to be clarifying aether lore as well so I think we just have to play through to find out at this point. I am new so maybe that's why blessing/echo isn't bothering me as much as it is some people. Also, dragons.

In a game where we are untempering people with flying pigs I guess the blessing/echo conflation hasn't bugged me but then again I haven't spent years trying to figure it out. As is one of our dialogue options, "I'm just special."

Wow the final days are incredibly depressing. When people give in to despair their aether, instead of dissipating and returning to the life stream, simply rots and disappears which turns them into Terminus beasts never to be reincarnated. Very reminiscent of Madoka Magica lol

Level 83 spoilers

Is there a difference between heating grade ceruleum and airship grade ceruleum? Felt really silly scavenging for those cartridges when I have a stack of 500 ceruleum tanks in my inventory since I run the FC submarines. The airship tanks say they are suitable for the ships, but it would have been an interesting data point if Julius explained that the airship grade stuff emits too many poisonous fumes to be used to heat homes.... or something.

I've scrolled down, skipped everything, and will only read the post that's a reply to mine in order to try to not spoil myself further, but I HAVE to ask somehing.

Our great auntie franny answered so many questions but....

How was it that the lunar primals didn't temper people to THEM, and instead tempered people to anima? I understand the towers were an extension of anima, so of course they tempered to anima. But the primals summoned were not part of the tower, why didn't they temper to themselves?

[Slatersev]

Because while not part of the Tower directly, they WERE directly summoned by the Towers captives.

Revelations from lvl 86 MSQ, this one made me super giddy. SUPER spoilery.

Speaking with Emet-Selch while he's an NPC you can ask about the Convocation. He reveals the duties of each Convocation member and why they were chosen, of which we only had inlings of Emet, Lahabrea, and kind of Halmarut.

Divided into those that are authorities in their field were:

• Mitron: Aquatic life
• Loghrif: Terrestrial life and husbandry
• Halmarut: fungal and plant life
• Emmerololth: Medicine and healing
• Lahabrea: Creation magicks (who has "brought forth phantom beings of the highest complexity")

Then those that "possessed skills that would facilitate the performance of their stipulated duties":

• Altima: Advicate of the Arts (interesting?)
• Igeyorhm: Champion of Enlightenment and Rethoric
• Pashtarot: Preserver of Discipline and Order
• Emet-Selch: Keeper of the Aetherial Realm,
• Fandaniel: Pursuer of Extant Phenomena
• Azem: Traveler of the World and Counselor to the People.

I believe it's the first time we know the entire Convocation's roles. What will it mean besides world-building, I don't know. But I'm very interested and hope it's not merely window-dressing, considering our missing four Ascians.

Edit because Math is hard:

Counting the members I was left with ELEVEN, and realized Emet mysteriously left Nabirales, Deudalaphon, and Elidibus out. So it's not the entire convocation and it's unknown what their offices were. I wonder if that's an oversight (which I doubt), their roles are too "sensitive" to divulge outright, or an intentional "mystery box."

Well, isn't there a possibility of them being involved with Pandaemonium or the Alliance Raid?

Oh goddamn, this Final Days part really is nasty, man. I just can imagine how much more terrible the scenes would be if it this was PG-18.

Edit: I wonder how all these events would affect all of the other places we haven't even visited yet (examples like Meracydia, the New World) in future expansions?
