Endwalker Main Scenario Commentary & Feedback

[Cleretic]

All the Role quests have to occur prior to Meteion’s defeat since her “song of oblivion” is what causes people who fall to despair to have their aether decay and transform them in Terminus Beasts, and every Role quests features individuals transforming into regular Terminus Beasts during the present narrative itself, not just past events like the Blasphemies.

I kind of got the notion that a Blasphemy being around causes more Terminus beasts just by general proximity to them and their actions. Kinda like how if you put a rotten apple in with a bunch of fresh ones, they all rot faster.

So if you do the tank role quest after the MSQ, the active flow of corrupted dynamis from Meteion is still cut off, but the Blasphemy that caused in the Shorud is still around, and it's still... well, infectious. Rather tangibly so in that one's case, because it's literally propagating a disease, so you can actually perceive its spread.

Yeah, at first I was confused how more blasphemies were being made when Final Days were averted, but I figured that the big Blasphemy in each quests is a big ball of bad Dynamis that has enough energy left to turn others.

Hmmm, while I understand that the presence of a Blasphemy makes the spawning of normal Terminus Beasts much "easier" in its area, I don't think there's enough evidence to presume that Blasphemies can continue to cause other people (in its localized area) to have the capacity to transform into normal Terminus Beasts without Meteion's Song of Oblivion no longer being transmitted. I think it would just be simpler to presume that all the Role quests are all meant to occur chronologically before the completion of the final 6.0 MSQ quest. Similar to how one has to recognize that the Alexander raids and Warring Triad quests have to occur in the past if for example a player is already in the ShadowBringers MSQ.
