POST-SHADOWBRINGERS THREAD | Patch 5.X
decided to make a separate thread from the base-game content of 5.0. everything here will essentially be content immediately after the base-game as well as future patches.
[ Certain Class Quest Spoilers will be present ]

[xiv]
tataru has a lot to hear from what happened to us in the First

o(-<
oh miss f'lhamminn...you are ever such a good mother to minfilia...and now even to ryne even though she cannot be in the Source atm

[xiv]
krile!!! it's been forever!!!

krile: thancred's aether between his body and soul are weakening
wol, in spirit: its cause of that DAMN SOULDEEP INVISIBILITY

but honestly gosh it was such a relief to see tataru, krile, and f'lhamminn of all people when you arrive.... but it rlly sucks that the scions' souls are slowly drifting from their bodies...

tataru be like "what happened on the first!!" and i gotta explain how i now have a new daughter.................

[xiv]
this is the most alisaie thing of alisaie to do in the middle of a meeting (poor g'raha...)

simply believing and wishing the transferring of souls into existence...is this not akin to how creation magick flourished of amaurot?

[xiv]
ALISAIE....

Thancred and Ryne said Heck Work (this had to be censored for ryne's sake) and did not show up to the meeting but they better not d*e out there in the emptiness--

[xiv]
i cant read this

[xiv]
finally, a nice boat ride!! and with g'raha this time! (poor alphy)

[xiv]

party: *hands me 3 comms*

[xiv]
this is so pretty!!! the water came back to the Empty!!!!

[xiv]
i literally d*ed 7 times but i got this

anyone tell me why did wol reimagine titan discovering mario kart??? anyone?????

urianger literally spent 5 whole minutes roasting thancred this is so sad we are going to need some water to extinguish all this fire

ryne: eden immortalized your fights by converting them into this crystal so you can see your fight with the primals in them! isn't that amazing?
wol: *sees themselves get slain 7 times in titan's fight* hmm. i dont like this.

Oracle of Darkness...? NO WAY..........

[xiv]
also going back to MSQ

that first boss stack is so horrendous this is literally the 5th time i had to restart the fight imdsfdsg

i think brooms should not exist thanks to the grand cosmos

[xiv]
alphinaud has the greatest ideas after we fought a plant monster

[xiv]
alphy, you forget we are all technically ghosts...

[xiv]
elidibus i know thats you

grand cosmos be like Vulnerability x100 for every AOE move!!!!

[xiv]

beq lugg is so cute... :< sucks uh, we had to fight their entire house to just talk to em

[xiv]
wol:
alphinaud: okay bye
wol: i havent even done anything yet--

[xiv]
bringing the twins everywhere is a must for trusts

there is something really nice about how the crystal tower, ratika greatwoods, and idyllshire share the same bagpipes instrument as part of their melody...

visiting twine and jeryk is still so excited about building new things cuteeee

[xiv]
haha guys guess what i never threw away??

looking at a lamp never felt more saddening..

[xiv]
akadaemia anyder time

dumb of ass warrior of light runs past report of lahabrea during akadaemia anyder run and realizes it when they defeat the final boss already

to be fair, my internet was about to reset less than 3 minutes when the fight ended so I WAS PANICKING!!!

akadaemia anyder has the sexiest music ever send tweet

[xiv]
it aint easy being the punching bag for all the ascian experiments

so much information gleaned.... wowie, creation magicks sure is something...

[xiv]
the amaurotine yelling in the back hdjskfsg

how did soken know i liked the ascians & jazz and put them together? akadaemia anyder is literally the whole package of GOOD...

i think its a crime the scions cannot join you in the akadaemia dungeon. i want to see everyone's reactions!!!

so basically

thancred, thru the linkpearl: hey wol are we still doing eden stuff
wol: hold on im at lahabrea's house and im fighting his roommates' onions and sharks

:( aka-any should drop wind up ascians..... that would be cute.... sqe should hire me...!!!! i have good ideas......

oh man I KNEW the grand cosmos' knight adds were alluding to something......but them being the shards (?) to the knights of the round was something i didn't expect OMG

something is very sweet as to how the grand cosmos theme is just the holminster theme but rearranged into a waltz piece

[xiv]
its talos collecting time

the kholusia day time music changed!!! omg...it sounds so cute....

[xiv]
this was a cute little instance talos catching is fun

[xiv]
