I'm Jay (they/them)! I'm not new to the game, but this is the first time I've put a serious effort into playing FFXIV. Stumbling through with my little White Mage, Kiipaa Gotou. Active on Dynamis/Cuchulainn. Occasionally 🔞

Much like with her mother, Kiipaa had a good relationship with her father. Better than with Suzuki honestly. Tenjin was the village healer and taught his daughter everything he knew, though he recognized she was much more powerful than him. She misses him a lot, as he was also lost in the calamity.

I have a few guys but Kiipaa (and by extension Ren) is so special to me. She started out as an asura in GW2, with Rhenn as the commander and her as his support. Here, she leads with him backing her up. She's never strayed from that gentle, kind, loving young woman with a heart too big for the world.

Kiipaa had a pretty good relationship with her mom; she was Suzuki's first after several lost babies and so she was very protective of her. And Kiipaa likewise looked up to her. Losing her in the Calamity devastated her, and she's honestly never fully bounced back. At least not until ShB.

Been a minute because work and life have been busy, but we're back to finishing Shadowbringers! So I needed to share some cutscene screenshots of her beautiful face.

Y'shtola, no question. These two are best friends to the core, and while some folks have suspected it of being romantic, Kiipaa is loyally devoted to Ren. Y'shtola, though, GETS her on a level no one else ever really has.

I had to go look because I couldn't remember when I started, but it was back in 2018. I actually dropped the game for a long time because I had a really bad experience with people yelling at me for not knowing the mechanics in an early dungeon, but this go round coming back has been much better.

HOO boy, she definitely has. Kiipaa's entire village was destroyed during the Calamity, leaving her, her faithful (and very old) chocobo Momo, and her companion Ren as the only survivors. She lost all her friends, her entire family, everyone, and it's left her with immense survivor's guilt.

Been struggling a little this week due to overwhelming work stuff. Didn't get a promotion my boss was sure I was a shoe in for this time. More Kiipaa posting to come but for now I'm just very down.

I did some quick math and realized, since Ren is two years younger than Kiipaa, that he arrived in the village when he was THIRTEEN. This thirteen year old boy stood up to his father and got beaten half to death for it. He was a kid!

Kiipaa: I have edge. me: You really don't. You are literally the most wide-eyed person I've ever seen. You have the face of a cartoon lamb.

I would like to do a few more adult screens, but should I maybe separate that out from this account and use this largely for story stuff and more lore relevant (or just general) screens?

I really wish I could give you context for this but just know it came out of joking about being in the back seat with Urianger.

Her parents, siblings, and most of her village. Kiipaa may have escaped the village with Ren during the Calamity, but everyone else was killed. She found her younger siblings and parents together, too far gone to save, and held her brother and sister as they died. She has terrible survivor's guilt.

Get yourself a woman like Dulia-Chai, honestly. I know Kiipaa adores her. Dulia wanted to put her in elaborate frilly dresses but her heart was in the right place.

The face of a woman who knows she's about to witness a fratricide. (I think your attempt at a porxie was adorable, Alisaie, it's fine.)

Kiipaa saw more of herself than she cared to admit in Emet-Selch, and in that recognized that her holding on to her own lost past was more harmful than she thought. As the only survivor of her village, she had convinced herself that there had to be a reason she'd survived.

I'm so close to the end of the main Shadowbringers story. I just need to do the Hades fight! And I have some thoughts about Kiipaa's arc to go with it, once I'm done...

Kiipaa was 22 at the start of ARR, and her stalwart companion Ren was 20. Not sure yet how old they are later (I'm just finishing the main ShB MSQ right now) but my guess is she'll be ~26-27, with Ren about 24-25.

I turned around and the framing made it look like I needed to talk to Momo instead of Ryne.

Not my favorite of the WHM robes but it looks SO good on her, so I can't complain.

She really is just tired by this point. Kiipaa's fatal flaw is her own survivor's guilt, and a belief that surely if she survived the destruction of her village and death of everyone else in it, there must've been some reason. She never lets herself rest. And no more is that felt than at Mt. Gulg.

Shadowbringers has genuinely shot up to my favorite expac so far. But man, she's having an awful time.

I'll get some festival pics of Kiipaa tomorrow; she deserves to be cute in a bathing suit for a little bit.

Y'shtola is one of Kiipaa's closest friends, so her apparent loss in Ux'ner struck her much deeper than she wanted to admit.

Kiipaa is extremely hesitant to respond with violence; she will always default to trying to diffuse situations peacefully first. She only resorts to violence when there really is no other choice, and Ren tends to take initiative anyway when violence needs to be done.

The random ghost appearing in her room has really put a damper on her and Ren having time to catch up.

Kiipaa was living in a small secluded village at that point in her life, amidst a number of other Raen who had found themselves very far fro their homelands. She led a pretty quiet life, the daughter of the village healer, and didn't really have that bad a time of it. At least until the Calamity.

I talk about how Kiipaa sees the twins as her younger siblings, and honestly I feel like the feeling is very mutual. (She's so mad at me. I'm sorry, Alisaie; I wasn't trying to get drowned by frog faeries!)

A minor change, and something I want to take some screens of later: it's Ren who saves Kiipaa from Not!Zenos instead of Estinien, though Estinien does arrive shortly after to let Ren get her to safety.

Oh the creature design in this is INCREDIBLE. The first Lightwarden in Holminster Switch is phenomenal. I showed my friend and she was so intrigued. I can't stop thinking about it. More than any other creature I've encountered so far, that's stuck with me.

So a few End Of Stormblood thoughts before I really start digging in: Ren was among the sleeping/comatose by the end, and went down around the same time as Thancred. While everyone hit her hard, Ren was one of the four that hit her the hardest. The others being Y'shtola, Alphinaud, and Alisaie.

I've officially finished Stormblood! I have so many thoughts, including some really great angsty things from the last few instances/cutscenes, but I'll put those together later. On to Shadowbringers!

I swear Kiipaa is collecting dads at this point. Cid, Raubahn, Edmont, the list keeps growing.

Despite canon, Kiipaa was in tears at the point Alisaie collapsed. As I've mentioned before, she'd come to see the twins as family. Not replacing the brother and sister she lost, but certainly loved as dearly. Alphinaud being returned to them unconscious, then Alisaie falling, scared her deeply.

I made the Navel Orange Cookies from the FFXIV Cookbook Vol. 2! They're not too bad; the orange flavor is very mild, much milder than you'd expect. But they taste good and are soft and chewy. Next time, we'll try the Pineapple Ponzecake! #FFXIV | #FinalFantasyXIV | #FF14 | #FinalFantasy14

To say Kiipaa is protective of the twins is an understatement. They remind her so much of the siblings she lost, and they worry her to no end.

If my ponderings about Ren also having the Echo, just not in the same forms as Kiipaa, stand in my hcs, that explains why he's usually the muscle when they fight. Kiipaa isn't much for violence, though she'll use it when absolutely necessary. Otherwise, she primarily focuses on healing.
