I still can't figure out how to handle how Shadowbringers just completely broke my character. Her life's work is based on a lie, apparently.
I've started working on a screenshot comic. It relies on a ton of speculation, and a few of the events are altered a bit, but it's at least gonna be interesting. I was planning on doing this before ShB, but now it's gonna be completely different... but now I've got a reason I wanna write through to the end.
I played so much ffxiv today...
Like somehow if I just kept playing enough, it would change the ending of Shadowbringers from being so sad...
Yes, because that's *totally* the quest reward for leveling crafting/gathering jobs. *rolls eyes at self*

They're equally fake and delightful.
I finished ShB today, but the ending felt so unreal I decided that not only did C'rrahsa dream the whole thing, but everything from the final dungeon onward didn't even happen in her DREAM.
C'rrah wouldn't do that, and she wouldn't smile if it happened.
The expac was an extremely good game; it's just that the ending goes against most of what my catte cares about, yet neither could she quite act to assist the opposing side? It's an impossible plotline for her to *survive*. Also just... some of the premises involve don't really mesh well with the premises that her story hangs on.
So ... yeah. What a mess. When she wakes up she's going to be like "That was intense. Also, I didn't realize I missed G'raha Tia that much."
I was all like, "I think I see where this is going. The game is gonna end by making the hero choose what I think is wrong, all the party members are going to say shortsighted things, the villain's going to be right... it's one of those games, isn't it?"
I'm close to the end, and... I called it. :/
I love it when there are stories about this topic, but I almost always disagree with the ending... *sigh*
Emet-Selch is far more than merely charismatic. He is also, in my opinion, doing the right thing in a bad situation, where all the options are unfortunate.
