WELL here we are. Shadowbringers thread!
FWGSHAHAHHA OK BUT CAN I JUST SAY FIRST. I see what the narration did there. I fuckin see it.

Also I laughed so hard at this last night
exarch: so here is the lore and im so sorry and lore and
me: i know this, and I love you
my guy I like your way of thinking LMFAO
I love the crystarium. Feels so nice not having to run around chasing daylight time for photos
(Slams chest) oOOOOOOOooooooOOOooOOOoooohhHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HDGSHAHAHAHAHA I LOVE THIS r’gel’s so tired of the exarch’s shIT
Is it bad that I’m crying at how receptive and sweet exafch is already
ARDBERT????
WHY IS THE STORY SO FUNNY SO FAR i love how they give the WoL more cinematics and more interaction on their own omg
I’ve found my fit
Huh are there no job quests for 70-80???
HURRY UP AND SHOWER, STINKY
i just kinda

froze

when i realized what kind of place i am in to have a poledancing guy and disco lighst
exc U SE ME?
I HATE EULMORE

THEY MAKE ME POLEDANCE AND SHOUT GO CATBOY GO
One minute I was poledancing and the next I am witnessing disturbing execution by this disturbingly existing man i don’t know waht this game is anymore
THE GASP I JUST LET OUT
I just laughed at how small exarch is
YES!!!! YES!!!!! FUCKING FINALLY!!!! THE DREAM OF MY SOCIALLY ANXIOUS ASS SINCE ARR HAS COME TRUE
I’m crying. I’m actually crying.

Thanks i love it
I DONT HAVE TO SKIP CUTSCENES IN HURRY OR WAIT 50 MINS TO GET INTO STORY DUNGEONS AT MIDNIGHT ANYMORE THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU SO MUCH
I LOVE YOU MY LITTLE TWINK TANK
im cry typing this while doing my rotation in one hand EXARCH YOURE SO MUCH BETTER THAN THOSE TANKS WHO leave me aggroed with 5 mobs who wete after the healer and can only aggro 1 enemy at a time I LOVE YOU SO MUCH CRYSTAL EXARCH
BACK FROM MY FIRST TRUST DUTY and god i had so much fun it took longer than usual dungeons but I could rly just follow alphi around and evade mechanics perfectly

Maybe my only real complaint is they LB was too often LMFAO
BUT I RLY HAD FUN i rly felt like playing dungeons from my single player jrpgs... for my socially anxious ass who has to stay awake late night only to still wait 30 mins for msq progression and skip all dungeon cutscenes this is a godsend im crying thank you sm also exarch ily
you’re on one knee,
pHDGAJGSHSHSHSH
This is what happens when i’m too thirsty for exarch and it shows even when im legit being explained smth
my lads it is 1 am and i am a predictable binch but you know? you know what? when exarch growls “so be it.” In trust dungeons? I felt Something
Seriously though y’all the crystarium is just so? Wonderful? Maybe bc I’m actually playing at a reasonable time for me for once but.... it’s so full of wonders and just feel like home and imagining exarch saw it from 0 to this im crying whenever im here thanks i love it
and the fact that exarch is such a sweet yet decisive, merciful yet responsible, wise yet bold and spares eulmore absolutely no shit, sobs i just.......... [sets aetheryte as home point] 😔
JESUS FUCKING CHRIST TBH

THIS TWINK HAVE MORE BALLS THAN EVERY LEADER IN THE EORZEAN ALLIANCE COMBINED
ITS HOT THANCREEEEED
...actually that really DOES rhyme
When this is your FIFTH try
Me and this other person trying it in french have been at this for the past five minutes fsgshhd we were Tired
Hohoho hot urianger
hot
Me: maybe i should try leveling my dancer!

Also me: maybe not!
Can i just

SORRY I KEEP RAMBLING but I love how shb suddenly brings the focus to the wol and giving them actual!! Solo scenes and implied Thoughts and flashbacks i.e. imagining ishgard burned down when ardbert mention voeburt?? But still w/out making them talk?? I love it
I got a new snazzy top
Also machinist promotion from tiddies venturer to sky pirate
Healers talking shit in chat abt our mage that outright rejects their raise apparently????
THe trial was framerates.exe but man that was epic
I LOVE HOW
1. Exarch sent us sandwich.... i cry
2. Adbert: (appears out of thin air to tell u abt ur pinning bf)
3. The fact that WoL isn’t even slightly fazed anymore a ghost suddenly appears right beside him in his private quarters
Exarch 🤝 Ardbert
Lovingly watching WoL’s every move at any given time
WOL NO!!!!!!!
PLEASE WOL AND ARDBERT EXCAHNGING ADVEBTURING STORIES THATS SO CUTE I CANT THATS TOO MUCH UWU...........

AND HE ALSO FINISHED EXARCHS SAMDIWCH!! FELLAS!! IM CRYING
OH RIGHT I FORGOT YSHTOLA IS BLIND
why is this so uglee
tHANCRED
I wanna try lancer
>understands dnc
>tries it out, queue and pray i dont get any high level ones
>great gubal library
>the other dps is a more experienced dnc
>they’re literally a lalafell named Wind-up Emet-Selch
The fact that the Exarch is braver than any eorzean marines never cease to baffle me
sigh im in love

At the sheer ‘fuck you’ energy this twink possesses
English cannot describe how I feel about Eulmore

But Indonesian can. Bangsat besar bersejarah semoga beneran primal itu kontol supaya bisa digerebek 8 orang
DAM i forgot i logged out with armpits out fit
Emet selch is truly

something
Emet-selch: ok FINE i’ll go fetch her lets get this over wi—

Me: hang on. I’m going to the crystarium for dyes

Emet-selch: your friend is in danger—

Me: MY FASHION SENSE IS IN DANGER
It’s blue tiem
Wait so like

What even is the purpose of the fan dance in dnc if they only deal 100-150 potency???
pspspsppspspsps
Wow my god

A dps started cussing after we kept wiping in tsukuyomi so I tried speaking out..... my heart is beating so fast but our healers were first timer omg let’s not cuss man
Oh my god my anxiety quota for the day is reached from that alone

Teleports back to crystarium exarch i need to see ur face
I can’t stress how funny how deltascape savage is unlocked. WoL is so much in peace listening to music that they conjure up even more nightmarish versions of monsters they’ve faced before then imagines them triumphing over it (preferrably)
queueing right after reset be like
https://twitter.com/KikwiHunter/status/1262051501305810946?s=20
One of the most beautiful thing I’ve seen in df is i’m the only new player in the dungeon so i follow around my healer and then suddenly they rescue me in boss. straight into a falling pillar

We all laughed afterwards it was funny and i got rez www but one of us went “murder”
ESTINIEN NOOOO!!!!
Oh this fit is rly cute actually
I am no longer court jester i want dancing power
My main role now (mental support dps)
I got through the praetorium thru roulette once

I leveled up but at what cost
my sanity thats what
I don’t trust aoe anymoe after orbonne
I forgot but last night I did Orbonne right and I wield a sword as a machinist and I’d just like to say that’s the epitome of a support dps going apeshit
oh.

Been a hot 36 levels since that last happened
IM CACKLING
just got... Sin eater gettingto crystarium part

im shaken
https://twitter.com/KikwiHunter/status/1262749845091053568?s=20
If uou listen closely you can pinpoint the exact moment my heart breaks in two https://twitter.com/KikwiHunter/status/1262751056770985986?s=20
Like... like man.
I have no words I am just. Shook
I’m logging off wtf that was. wow

sry cannot english rn but i am glad for once my fury towards a giant historical dickhead gets translated well into my WoL
LAUGHS I LOVE THIS SIDEQUEST
ON GOD???
Young Ardbert....
WOL BECOMES SO PISSED AT OTHER CATBOYS AND OTHER CATBOYS ONLY IN SHB IM LAUGHING

(This is @ Lue-Reeq, who is, a blessing, haters dont interact)
I was today years old when i learned this top could be dyed i feel so dumb fGSHDH
Why is it so hard to gain rested exp lately
MIGHT DIE, BUT EH
- WOL, SEVENTH ASTRAL ERA
ALSO GOD
THESE AND
THE WAY WOL TAKES THESE INFO

Airship - superfluous, understandable, it’s the least plausible
Trolley (the least risky) - On a *wrinkled* paper, shoved ungracefully back in
Gondola (might die, but eh) - HASTILY SCRIBBLED DOWN ONA. PIECE OF SCRAP PRCHMENT
Hello i am today years old when i learned that each ranged dps has different peloton cast animation
Who made him sad
Me going to allraid roulette as a lv 60: maan it’s fonna be syrcus tower again. I’d have to be super fucking lucky today to get any mhachi ones

Roulette: the Void ark

Me:
People: makes comprehensive guides tp explain job to somebody

Me: ur the bard, the party always needs ur bgm. Purple is your mainstream playlist, it crowd controls. Yellow is your study playlist, it makes things go faster. Green is your emo playlist, it’s when you go apeshit
??? Just saw a sprout new adventurer in the crystarium???
Titania? Do you mean corpse garden
Like I had to leave cuz I need to help prpeare dinner but wtfi feel so bad like for ONCE these healers are the one who didn’t do shit and this one dps tries explaining the mech before everybody voye abandon duty
uhm.
Exarch just straight up pretend emet doesn’t exist im LAUGHING
Firstly i fucking love the asshole extraordinaire competition in their dialogue to death and also JUST TELL WOL YOU LIKE HIM, EXARCH
CRIES.... RYNE..... DAUGHTER........
AAAAAHH the smell of imminent angst disaster at 2 am https://twitter.com/KikwiHunter/status/1264261951988748289?s=20
I miss Lue-Reeq :(
FIRSTLY. I still rly love how much personality/solo stories theyre giving the wol in SHB, hhh...... also SHIT IS GETTING REAL AAAAAAAAAAAA
EXARCH.... HE FIDDLES... HE FIDDLES!!!!

Today’s mood
jESUS CHRIST, EMET

Vauthry’s kinda like a primal and that Meol thralls ppl. Also we kick his ass in an 8-man raid. Please let us. Also I’m probably going to Die

OH.

OH........ JESUS.....???
OH....
oh gOD
I can’t say I didn’t see that coming but that cutscene just........ left me all kinda disturbed

I dont even have words im just disturbed
Ah, here we go
you know i TRY not to be that kind of person who conplains especially bc ik how anxiety inducing it can be being a healer but

SOME healers.
h, how. I want to know how. do you:
>is a beginner/sprout and first timer
>does not heal tank or dps
>fully knowing how many enemies there are that can be accidentally aggro’d in the area
>pulls mobs intentionally
>to the point we wipe 3 times in aurum vale
(Called in as replacement on roul)
Me: He—

(Me, immediately getting hit by tsukuyomi’s aoe, tanks yelling ‘lb’ in chat, panically dodges the fans, 30 secs later she’s dead, stands there as fanfare plays wondering wtf just happened)
SCRWALED INTO YOUR OWN HAND???
There’s something......... something about emet selch

I meant that as a compliment to character writing LMFAO but also what an asshole i’ll take ten dozen of his dialogues with other people
I JUST

I JUST....
AWH..............
I just gasped
HE’S HERE!!!
Know that I love you, granpa
This part was so cool but THIS CHOICE IS SO FUNNY
Yes game, i said fuck rested exp
I refuse to log out anywhere other than by exarch’s side
Good morning sweetheart
ah, there it is
I went to take a bath and came back to this
LUE-REEQ CALLING OUT THE MAIN SORT OF WOL INTERACTION IN THIS GAME IS THE BEST THING FROM THIS QUESTLINE
Have you seen my son? Now you have
Even exarch acknowledges how tiny he is im crying
OH, EXARCH....
god you are so small
This ENTIRE conversation that acknowledges how much wolexarch is like a married couple alr
powerful neCK MUSCLES SCULPTED BY A LIFETIME OF NO D D I NG
WOL HAS HAD IT WITH PEOPLE FORCING REQUESTS ON HIM IM LAUGUING
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I usually joke but this is the only moment in my life when i truly mean it when i say I dont have words I’m so uwu
i.

hang on.
i legit teared up at that scene.
I’m. I’m just. Idk how to even express thid

Ok the first part struck me personally so I kinda teared up but then exarch starts talking about.... going on an adventure with his “friends”, how he longs for it, how he can envision it and I just........ tears just fell down i. I.
The way pixie’s voices go from soft to I WILL FUCKING MURDER YOU LITTLE SAPLING will never cease to amuse me
Me in df dungeons: (tries to figure out mechanic asap for myself so not to burden anybody)

Me in trust dungeons: ALPHI I TRUST YOU WITH MY LIFE (jumps on his back)
i just wen oOOH
Yknow I am happy to progress but also have a Sinking Feeling over the fact that this expansion is about to end :(

oh my god
hang on hang on ok gimme a bit more im. oh my god
i just
i dunno how to do this ok im jusy gonna list my reactions on certain sccenes while cropping the spoiler texts when necessary alright
like the moment the cowl was blown off i just got so emotional
“Call him by his name” i legit almsot cried. Like i EXPECTED this outcome but still it was emotional yknow?? Super emotional
it was like building up and up and i was starting to tear up and then—
And then like
Emet

I gasped and then I wasn’t, Like I DIDN’T even end up crying over exarch, I was too shocked , and the shock never fucking e n ds and like. oh my god. the fact that wol is now... r’gel is now...
Like just... oh my god... oh my god

Like I SWEAR i didn’t cry but i had my hand over my mouth and my throat let out this WEIRD sound i amjist. i dont think ive ever been this kind of emotionally shook in my life
And like.... god when the window opens it just. It jsut rly hits

Like my god listen i’m too emphathetic for my own good and rn my mindset is r’gel’s and god i felt weak. I think if i wasnt sitting id have collapsed. i am on the bed writing this and i almost fell down coming here
I am just..... oh jesus christ.

like legit i’m shaken idk how to really say it i’ve never been. this kind of emotionally shaken my entire life. i. i finished the first time i said ‘i need a moment’ so i spent what 10 mins?? Just staring in shock. god. oh my god
i’m like

not okay
[CRIES]
The audacity of this game

To make you so emotional over so mang different, failed things yet still giving you hope to go on

To convey so much emotion and resolve on your up until this expansion silent protagonist w/minimal gestures and zero words

To make you combo cry 10 times
Readyy for the next adventure!
OH...
I’m like curious what scenes change you get if you’ve completed CT vs not doing CT yet tbh

Like there’s a few obvious ones but the whole “want to go adventure with a ‘friend’” wouldn’t rly make sense unless WoL did the CT questline tho???
Never have I had a bigger urge to smack my aether compass bc it seems to be trippin so hard???
My aether compass is on catnip wtf
Soon
[ shb spoilers ]
WoL: No, listen, u know the logic of dipping jar lid in hot water so it’s easier to open, right

Ardbert: yeah

WoL: so by the same logic, with my cold warden hands and your cold ghost hands, we can make the jar shrink and open it tgt

Ardbert: ur a bloody genius
[ shb spoilers ]
WoL: ardbert you say i absolitely musn’t lose control right

WoL: open this fucking jar for me

Ardbert, a ghost that goes through everything he touches: Now you’re just mocking me
???
WOL??????
