Thinking Saran thoughts today. Thinking about how DRK is cathartic for her beyond everything else going on in the quests. DRK is about casting aside your shield and your previous allegiances - Saran WAS a knight of Baron, but Baron is gone. She has no one's cause to fight for but her own #SaranAU

In the Brambleverse, every expansion is approximately a year, and the NPCs GENERALLY age accordingly, but also some of it is pure vibes. And then there's MSQ time shenanigans which makes it weirder. We keep the twins' ages in line with Yuyuka's, which also requires some muddling

Many years ago when I first started playing XIV one of my friends was flying around in this mount and I wanted it so bad because it looked so stupid, but I didn't understand how to do the Yo-kai event. Finally, the dream is fulfilled

OK genuine maybe silly question. Has anything in HW MSQ changed in recent years? Because replaying it, NO ONE in my FC who's played it before remembers things happening in the order they're happening. Did we just collectively hallucinate something different

"Wow! Boy oh boy. What a terrible thought, all those awful voidsent getting through. Really, uh, sets my scales a-shiver. Y-yep."

Noctis: It's...a kind of monster.
Kipih Jakkya: From your world, I assume. And it somehow came to be here, in Eorzea...
Kipih Jakkya: I'm no naturalist, but I imagine it being similar to a voidsent.
Kipih Jakkya: And if even a monster such as that could find its way to our world, then surely─surely you can find your way back too!

Saran's face is set in an uncomfortable false smile as she attempts to be nonchalant about the fact that she is secretly a voidsent.

*Rent lowering gunshot* I’m afraid we’re flaying Yuyuka with this snippet Endwalker spoilers Content Warning for “Fighting Zenos” levels of brutality and physical violence against a minor. Unedited.

Zenos had ripped her from the sky like a child with a bug net, torn flesh from bone with all the ease of peeling open a fresh orange. The starlit surface below provided no mercy for her face nor purchase for her hands. She’d scrambled blindly for her cane, a foothold, anything.

She tried not to think of what followed next. The boot slammed upon the nape of her neck. A scythe tip pressed against her back for several heartbeats too long. Don’t look. The plea she would’ve offered Roscoe drowned within a blood-filled mouth. Don’t give him the reaction he wants.

LRT Roscoe really said "YOUNG LESBIAN GET BEHIND ME" and was able to somewhat shield her using their co-wol narrative

A poorly edited meme. Military weapons fire at Roscoe who is shielding Yuyuka with his body.

The text reads as follows
"A bunch of men actively watching the WoL's every move"
"Roscoe's hero status making him their focus"
"Yuyuka sleeping soundly because history totally overlooked all her deeds - the only time this has benefitted her."

Another thing that accidentally ended up working well for the #Brambleverse: how the DRK and WHM quests bleed into each other, and how DRK tell the story of a man struggling to deal with his grief and anger, taking a young girl under his wing who was let down by the people who should've loved her

The Summit of Mt. Gulg (CW suicide) Been rotating this comic in my mind for years and my Patreon supporters voted to make it happen! Here's how Mt Gulg went in the #Brambleverse, and a love letter to one of my favourite scenes in the game 🎨 #bexarttag #FFXIVart #FFXIVSpoilers #Shadowbringers

FFXIV comic showing my Warrior of Light, Roscoe, a lalafell with long dark hair and all-black armour, kneeling on the ground at the top of Mt Gulg. Emet-Selch says to him, "What a disappointment you turned out to be. I placed my faith in you. Let myself believe that you could contain the light. But look at you now... halfway to becoming a monster." He kneels down and uses a gun to lift Roscoe's chin, saying "You still retain your form and your senses... but you have all but become a sin eater." In the background, Yuyuka, a blonde lalafell with horns, looks on in horror.

Page 2 of the comic. The panels pan across images of the structures of Mt Gulg, the Crystal Exarch unconscious on the ground, Alphinaud and Thancred gritting their teeth, Alisaie and Y'shtola looking tense and horrified, and Yuyuka on the verge of tears. Emet-Selch continues, "Whether you will it or no, your mere existence will serve to engulf the world in Light. Those few left with the will to fight may rise up against you. But before your absolute might, they will quickly know despair. "There is no hope." "We are finished." "Mankind is finished!""

Roscoe puts a dagger to his own throat, saying, "No. I won't let that happen."

Page 3 of the comic. Roscoe slits his own throat, with red blood spraying across the panel. Yuyuka runs forward with a scream, tears pouring down her face. A close-up of Roscoe's eyes shows them slowly closing as Emet-Selch says "I shall look forward to seeing you bring the world to its knees... hero."

Saran, a female Au Ra with long blue and pink hair and dark scales, wearing black armour with a fur collar, stands in front of the shadowed figure of Fray, a person in full armour with only their eyes visible.
