i& #39;m not done with the post-HW patches but you know what. i& #39;m gonna talk about my opinions on finishing HW msq. ffxiv spoilers ahead
[ffxiv spoilers, heavensward spoilers]
first off ysayle was by far my favorite character of the expansion and i& #39;m furious that the writers pulled another moenbryda with her. still pissed about moenbryda for that matter. anyway ysayle is cool
[ffxiv spoilers, heavensward spoilers]
hraesvelgr forcing ysayle to confront the fact that the primal she channeled was a fake shiva from her own dreams is the kind of character conflict i live for. and even if i disagree with how it ended, her big moment in azys lla was hype
[ffxiv spoilers, heavensward spoilers]
im focusing on characters rn i guess. i like alphinaud a little now! he got some growth. i like estinien because of how he bounced off ysayle. who else oh lucia i also like her quite a bit! she& #39;s kind of a neat foil to cid
[ffxiv spoilers, heavensward spoilers]
speaking of, cid got some screentime and involvement, love that for him. idk if i ever said before but i like ffxiv cid. he& #39;s the hottest scion
[ffxiv spoilers, heavensward spoilers]
i wish lucia talked a little less about aymeric because i find aymeric... pretty bland compared to his subordinate. he and haurchefant were kinda letdowns for me from how people talked them up
[ffxiv spoilers, heavensward spoilers]
maybe i was braced for it because i& #39;d been spoiled ahead of time, but i really didn& #39;t feel much over haurchefant& #39;s death. don& #39;t get me wrong, i think he was admirable and kind and had the WoL& #39;s back throughout, but his death was an Eh moment
[ffxiv spoilers, heavensward spoilers]
i gotta move away from characters. uhhh storywise the introduction to ishgard was decently paced, i LOVED the entire section of the story traveling with ysayle alphinaud and estinien that was the highlight for me
[ffxiv spoilers, heavensward spoilers]
things dragged a little after idyllshire/matoya... oh confession i didn& #39;t realize yshtola could see until matoya said she couldn& #39;t. like i heard she was blind and saw aether before starting ARR so i assumed she was Always like that??? hfjkg
[ffxiv spoilers, heavensward spoilers]
i should talk about trials. ravana and bismarck and thordan were all pretty dang cool, though the former two felt... idk, a little slow as far as trials go? thordan was a fun final boss and his knights made it interesting
[ffxiv spoilers, heavensward spoilers]
it was the escalation and the drama of "ok im a primal god now" that revived my flagging interest in the plot near the end. allag and ascian stuff felt... disconnected, so i& #39;m glad HW finished off with Ishgard Plot Resolution (Sorta)
[ffxiv spoilers, heavensward spoilers]
this thread was not meant to be this long i apologize. anyway while i certainly have some Gripes and certain story beats didn& #39;t hit as hard as they could& #39;ve, HW was overall enjoyable! a marked improvement over ARR, i& #39;m glad i got to play it
