I want the torgal plush NOW
MOAR XVI
ANYWAY RIGHT THE MARSHES
I was admiring the weird cool butterflies and wondering about them but it looks like they're just there to keep me from getting too lost and they disappeared when I got close :((
DON'T STEP ON TWIGS NO YOU FOOL
man. These goblins are ugly.
They also appear to be wearing scraps of the masks they have in some of the other games. Geez. So they always look like this? Unfortunate.
I wonder if that's the same guy they had making the gremlin sounds in the shadowbringers trailer though hahaha.
The butterflies are back!
BUT I CAN GO UPSTAIRS IN THIS OLD HOUSE
nice, beds. Naptime!
Clive seriously Your Pants Are Too Tight, lol.
Insufficient inventory space? What? I ONLY HAVE LIKE 6 ITEMS???
Oh, I see. Apparently I can only hold 4 potions at a time? Booo.
Hey Clive's walking himself now. Cutscene? Oh this is absolutely gonna be an ambu---lol attacked before I could finished the thought. I need to remember I can pause cutscenes.
"We're trapped!" there's like. 5 of them.
Ohh a big guy.
wait which button is dodge I keep using L1 for EVERYTHING lmao oops
LEVEL UP! and now I have wrist gear, woo.
I do appreciate that if I can't pick up an item it will automatically use one if I need it (spoilers I always need it).
Damn one kick and he took out an entire building. Impressive, Mr goblin leader.
MALBORO?!??
or I guess just morbol WHATEVER THE EFFECT IS THE SAME NO MATTER WHAT WE'RE CALLING IT THIS WEEK
WHY MORBOL NOT IN ACTIVE TIME LORE
lol I recognize this dive mechanic from XIV.
He should've been worth more exp than that :T
Boys, you're not walking towards the exit, that's just the edge of the arena. Boys, no, you won't be able to climb over that! BOYS!! Ugh they aren't listening.
ON TO THE GATE!!
Hey, Ambrosia. Kill anyone tonight? I hope so. Good girl.
Hey who the FUCK put carrots on Joshua's plate, it was made VERY CLEAR that he LOATHES THEM. Who. WHO DID IT.
At least dad isn't making him eat them.
Joshua is questioning the system. Good boy. Kind of a half-assed answer from Boromir though. I can't remember his real name. Elwin?
CHILD FUGITIVE. what will he do.
TORGAL!!!!!!!! MY BABYYYYY.
they should just swap plates halfway through dinner. Clive gets all the veggies, Joshua gets the cakes. Flawless strategy. Noct would approve (so long as he gets to be Joshua).
Hey Menphina, hey Dalamud.
(oh NOOO baby torgal was found all alone in the snow??? Pupper nooo TT__TT thank goodness you are safe now)
Joshua, honey, you're like what 9? Don't worry about leading them all just yet.
I'll never let you down / I know you'll always take care of me
Goddd don't tell me Clive somehow kills Joshua in here
Pupperoni. heehee.
Uh oh we're outside. Something's gonna happen. "supplies"? SOUNDS FAKE.
this guard is a dumbass. Your bro just got his throat slit don't just STAND THERE now look you're dead too ffs
2023 and they still can't animate people to sleep under blankets.
wake up Joshua it's the distant sounds of chaos. You need to run away.
oh I'm the child now okay. Let's go, Wade.
Joshua, put that wisp out, it's a bit of a beacon.
Okay but can't he just like.
Put the fire out.
Or is he still too young and asthmatic.
Ohhh curaga looks really pretty.
oh no Tyler!! Save him, Joshua! D: buy him another 5 minutes before the plot ends him anyway! Dx
OWL!!!!!!
Telepathic owl, that's pretty cool.
Careful, Clive, they're all going off to die, you're gonna give your brother a complex or something.
very dramatic door closure
How did they kill everyone though like WTF how drunk were we
GUYS JESUS THEY'RE ALREADY DEAD YOU DON'T NEED TO MAIM THE CORPSES.
This dragoon WISHES he were on Kain or Meteor or Estinien's level. (He ofc cannot even comprehend Aranea's level, or else he'd wish that, too.)
Oh, ofc, they were already in the army. THAT'S how they killed everyone so fast. Duh.
Earring migraine?
HALLUCINATION? what did it say....??
I'm gonna pretend it was "fly, you fools."
Nooooo Boromir and Joshua, you're in DANGER!!!
chocobo D:
OWL! D:
DADOMIR!! D:
I mean we knew dad was gonna die but the birds too? the fuck, man.
I don't think they're supposed to attack their allies? Joshua, you okay? [Haha we know Joshua isn't okay :')]
wait are you fucking ----
Clive is Ifrit and fighting his brother Joshua Phoenix? WHAT THE HELL, BAD. NO.
in retrospect the evidence was all right there, we knew Joshua was Phoenix and Ifrit was all over everything enough that this should've been obvious.
RODNEY JUST GOT VAPORIZED???
but WHY do they fight? Why do they think there can only be one fire eikon?
And we're back to fighting Ifrit in a cave tunnel thing only this time with Joshua thinking at Ifrit.
Now I'm afraid to put my controller down lol ARE THEY GONNA MAKE ME DO THINGS AGAIN
Stop fightinnggggg CLIVE GET YOUR HEAD BACK
You made a promise to your brother but now you're trashing his ass, ugh, augh, the feels.
Christ. Clive, I told you you were gonna give this kid a complex. I just didn't think it would be THAT FAST.
Joshua, Ifrit really ain't the only one racking up the property damage here.
MUTUAL DESTRUCTION. Nooo!!!
Wait you're kidding so it's less Clive has lost his head and more he got bodyjacked? THANKS THAT'S WORSE.
what the fuCK
HEY IM GONNA FUCKING KILL THIS WOMAN????
aaaaand title screen.
And we're cutting there because that seems extremely likely to have been the end point of the demo.

no subject
I smiled at your instinct to protect Joshua! (Even if protecting him might not ultimately have worked out.)
Oh, wow, I somehow completely missed that Clive was the one who turned into Ifrit. That makes everything much more agonising. I'm going to have to rewatch that scene.
no subject
You aren't the only one! I'd say maybe I'm not right and it wasn't Clive but honestly I'm 100% convinced it was. It seems a lot of people though came out of the demo not knowing who Ifrit was.
(KNOWING IFRIT IS CLIVE MAKES IT SO MUCH WORSE(/BETTER???))
no subject
Yep! The goblin designs here are definitely callbacks to the old imps from the original FF. I'm pretty sure, anyway.
Hey who the FUCK put carrots on Joshua's plate, it was made VERY CLEAR that he LOATHES THEM. Who. WHO DID IT.
The duchess, obviously.
Uh oh we're outside. Something's gonna happen. "supplies"? SOUNDS FAKE.

For the most part the game avoids some of these narrative things that happen just 'cause they have to, but this is one that I just can't forgive. Dude you know he ain't one of you, his shoulders are covered!
And yeah, that was the end of the demo. I swear that scene with Ifrit pounding Phoenix to death went on longer than necessary. >_< Argh.
no subject
(disclaimer for anyone else reading this: i know everything isn't actually koji fox's fault, but this is ffxiv offline and he's going to get the blame regardless.)
WOULD she though? Joshua was the only thing she cared about. Well. But no, she didn't care about him really just that he was Phoenix. IT WAS THE DUCHESS. ONE. MORE. CRIME.
