You know what would be funny?

[Auro_Seldaris]

Yes and please also bring shard Godbert as the evil final boss of the Arcadion and then we're set

As a wrestling fan, I fully anticipate that the final boss will be Metem. He's going to be the "Mr. McMahon" of the Arcadion, you mark my words.

Throws back hood on an obviously Lalafell sized character

If Moenbryda's shard from Sphene's world suddenly shows up and she meets Urianger. I wanna see this, because it would be funny, heartwarming and tearjerking.

Honestly I would hate this and skip as fast as I can. Because I hate of all the Moenbryda here and Moenbryda there and hey, don't forget about Moenbryda! ": D"
This is not because I don't like her as a character. I am also frustrated that I feel like this about her.

But I feel like this because of how damn dirty they killed our 1.0 companion Papalymo and how they handeld it later.
He died as a hero, doing the same like Louisoix did. Just that he did it BEFORE many people died in a big disaster.

But was his great heroic sacrifice ever truly appreciated? No...
There are just a few moments they gave us that feel like...., .."ah damn we must mention him because we can't pretend he never existed".

Moenbryda got much later an animated cutszene during MSQ with Scions meeting their parents and stuff. At this point I was already so upset about how they
neglect Papalymo that I could not enjoy it. I could only be angry about it. :c

And what we got for Papalymo? A small, cheap side quest, that is easy to miss, about us bringing his father something to eat, with just a few lines of text. And then the NPC disappears again straight away.

I personally would have prefered Y'shtola to die and Papalymo to stay and become the Blackmage of the Scions. For me it always felt like that they just wanted to get rid of him, to not have 2 Blackmage Scions in the long run.
Would also be fine if both would have stayed around.

I can't enjoy anything about Moenbryda, because it always reminds me of dirty killed and forgotten Papalymo. :c
I also never got why Krile is not talking more about him. Both are Scions, weren't they colleagues?

If they bring someone back, please let it be Papalymo and Minfilia. She also deserved more.

Yeah they should totally resurrect everyone in the game who has ever died, so we have no consequences or drama whatsoever. Thats what all books and media should be in the end, right guys? Just feel good strolls through a flowery meadow. Because that's what Final Fantasy is about, flowery meadows and no drama.

The question is, would we even notice? It's not like shards will look the same as their source counterparts, Ardbert was proof of that.

To be fair to this, the Warrior of Light is who the story follows and why Ardbert looks the way he does so it's kind of a special case because we are a stand-in for his story

I brought up Gerolt earlier, and almost every incarnation of him has looked similar and even has a somewhat similar name
Gerolt, Grenoldt, and Genolt

and the hrothgar in Shaaloani had a dedicated flashback to the version of him we met in Shadowbringers
so I don't think it's unreasonable to say we'd recognize any new reflections we meet

This isn't to say it's necessarily good or crucial for them to add more, but it's clearly a precedent and one they'll likely keep doing in the future

Haurchefant, it would be interesting if we did run into a shard of him, especially if he turned out to be the complete opposite of him. Like a version of Haurchefant that became a vengeful Dark Knight after losing his father and half brothers, thus sucking all the optimism out of the poor lady and leaving nothing but a ravenous gaping abyss in his heart that can only be filled with the blood of his slain sworn enemies.

We met one on the First. He was in Lakeland. Not by name or anything but the homage was clear.

*Snipple Snapple*

Now that you mention it, Papalymo is talked weirdly less often than what we get with Moenbryda. Though maybe that's because he wasn't as popular as her and Haurchefant and that's why his heroic sacrifice isn't mentioned like the former two?

Either way, I completely agree with him being done dirty and I would have loved to see his father visit Lyse and the two develop a bond. Hell, it would have been awesome and cute if Papalymo's father just randomly popped up around Sharlyan and if you talked to him, he'd tell you about his latest letter he was sent to by Lyse! I feel like much more could have been done with his father and it's so disappointing he was relegated to forgetful lunch fetch quest.

*Slams tiny fists on desk legs*

Where!? Where is his Shard located in Lakeland?! I must see him as soon as I catch back up in the MSQ!!!

I like your signature

On topic,

NOOO, I want to go somewhere and have NO ONE KNOW MY WOL. Isekai my bunny to a shard again or something.

We did. It was called Tural. Nobody knew who you were, so only one person -Gulool Ja Ja - even respected you and considered you a worthy opponent.... and all your accomplishments were treated as an overexaggeration at best or a joke at worst. You already got your wish, you happy?

In a Lakeland side quest. His name is Ser Tolas. Nothing officially confirmed of course but the parallel is striking.
