The Dead of Night
Since I'm not sure if future main scenario quest (hereafter MSQ) names will be spoilery, I'm going to just count them going forward.
Aaaaaaand back in the (present?). I think I heard there are three time periods so it's not the final present, but I don't think it's a flashback, so. Yeah. The present.
And these guys again (minus the boulder victim, rip). So we're all slaves here I guess. Fantastic.
So the lore names Titan's dominant but not Shiva's. I guess maybe we aren't supposed to know yet it's Jill? Another unavoidable marketing spoiler of sorts I guess.
It's kinda funny that the items I picked up in the flashback stayed behind but the gil didn't. Lol, all 16 of it. Tucked safely away in Clive's socks these thirteen years.
I keep trying to pop sprint to make him run faster.
Keeps not working....!!
They sure like giving me stoneskin tonics....
Jill is a slave, too??? Bad End, damn.
Aaaaand they're using children to control her, wow. They really are fully embracing this rating. I mean. I knew that already. Just. Jesus.
Anyway rip to Shiva, who is totally dead for realsies.
Ah. So Clive didn't know.
MERLWYB WOULD'VE CAUGHT THAT AXE.
just sayin'
I'll stop making FFXIV comparisons eventually. Probably. IT'S KOJI FOX'S FAULT.
I don't think you should push him on this, dude. And what has the "holy empire" even done for me, anyway, fuck them.
Just don't return, dumbass!!?
Or fight me okay. But I warn you, I'm playing on story mode and you're gonna go doooowwwnwnn.
Ramuh?? MR BEARD???
TORGAAAAALLLLLL torgal I really don't think you're ramuh though
Oh there's a dude behind you.
it's the guy everyone is thirsty for, ha.
It's CID? CID is the thirst trap?!?
CLIVE, GREET YOUR FUCKING DOG.
Who is Benedikta anyway, what's her story, she's clearly gonna be an important player. (I mean, obviously she's a dominant, or possibly just the shield of one, but beyond that.)
CLIVE, greet your DOG.
"WHO'S THIS"??? wow bro
Oh okay you did know who he was, I was preparing to run you into some walls or something.
You really got nothing better to do here, Clive. May as well go with them.
No neighbors DOES have its appeal..... stagnant aether though hmmmmmm
/stares in Prequel To Shadowbringers
MOOGLE!!!!!
Ah, not stagnant aether. Just. No aether. Worse!!
FINALLY A MAP OPTION.
WAIT WHERE DID TORGAL GO
Did that bard just sing about my day.
You know you have weird video game trauma when someone hands you a drink and you immediately FEAR. CBU THREEEEEE. *shakes fist*
All he wants to do is help? Too easy. I'd like to believe it, but, lol, no.
DON'T DRINK IT CLIVE jk you can probably drink it don't let Eorzea ruin your beverages
Anyway so uhhhh what's up with Clive not realizing HE'S THE ONE WHO TURNED INTO IFRIT? Other than the 20tons of trauma probably interfering, I mean. But like. That's weird, right? At least a little??
Goetz, you are a very mild individual, aren't you.
Ah, so that's why the blacksmith wouldn't talk to me earlier.
FOUND THE DOGGO AGAIN
CANNOT INTERACT
GAME IS BULLYING
Ofc they don't gear us, we might start to think we were people if they did that. 9_9
lol though: your gear sucks, use this
It's a belt. Nnnot sure that'll help much, all things considered.
Uh oh! Sick or injured newcomers! What timing! Clive was just looking like he needed something to do! (No he wasn't haha)
SIDEQUESTS UNLOCKED!!!!
goodbye plot progression XD
actually I'm gonna go meet Charon first OH SHAMING HIM FOR NOT INTRODUCING HIMSELF hahaha
Awww she's been the one taking care of Torgal! I like her.
Ah nice. I can replace all my imperial gear. Fuck those guys.
THANK YOUR DOG, CLIVE. CLIIIIIVE. THANK. YOUR DOG.
ugh, you useless man.
When do I unlock the ability to pet.
Oh a training hall. Neat.
Anyway SIDEQUESTS. Even though Clive doesn't seem the type to be doing those around here just yet, haha.
"I'd be happy to." Liar.
I do appreciate Cid's stray-collecting, lol. No idea what his end goal is gonna be, but we do love us some collectors of strays.
Ah, they're called the Fallen not necessarily just because they've fallen but because they literally fell, lol. Airship ruins!
THE MOON'S MOON IS CALLED METIA? yeah okay whatever
Clive remarking that all the people he gave food to were Bearers. Clive, LOTS of people here are Bearers.
ANYWAY LET'S GO
... Torgal, aren't you gonna follow me.
Let's goooo.
Ugh fine just stand there
I hope the Greatwood is even better than legacy Gridania was
Looks promising!
THERE'S my dog!!!
Why, what happens in the forest after nightfall.
PET THE DOGGGGGGG
Cid has walked off and is calling sass back at me because I'm busy dog-petting, haha
LIZARD!!!!
Ohhhh BIG lizard.
"I'll take it from here," Cid says, before standing idly by and waiting for Clive to clear the path.
That airship looks awfully Garlean. Like that's the uh.
You know what I can't remember its real name. The one we joke about being piloted by Twintania. That'll surely clear it up for anyone who wasn't in ONION during late ARR content.
Tfw you jump off a ledge and the music stops dead. That wasn't ominous at all. (It was just an aevis.)
I'm with Cid here, though, this IS stupid, I DO like wolves! WE'RE ON YOUR SIDE, YOU IDIOTS.
"Fafnir slain!"
Fafnir: gets back up
Man, dominants really don't have a nice time of it, do they. Always coughing up blood.
Just a place where we can all die on our own terms? Eh. Maybe.
Clive, we've been over this, it was YOU.
Ha. I put on the ring of auto-dodge but it still gives me little dings for precision dodges. Girl, that's all you.
Hmmm. I was thinking, you're not gonna prove you're loyal by selling someone else out.... Guess Benedikta agreed.
LMAO Torgal does a Sonic spindash
Jesus, enough with the cinematic clashes.
Kinda weird maybe that Clive is still blessed by the Phoenix, considering 1: Joshua is dead (probably??), 2: Clive's the one that killed(?) him.
"But what if someone discovers the bodies?" / "Then they'll be sorely disappointedbecause I've already looted them" I can see why cid is popular, though the thirst still as ever escapes me
AETHERYTE!!! Er... Obelisk!!!
Aww man I went to explore up the hill and got attacked by more wolves.... I just wanted to look around!! Run away, I guess.
In retrospect, that obelisk would've been a good breaking point.
Too late now, time to scout the town.
Hahaha he really did just bellow when he found someone.
"To our lady of the wind," ah, is she Garuda? Or uh. Whoever the wind primal is?
Chirada? yeah, she's Garuda.
lol he's another Cidolfus.
Careful, guys, last time people hung out laughing and drinking on screen there was a massacre and Ifrit and Phoenix fought to the death.
Not even wiping the blood off your sword? Come on, Bene.....
I like her hair though.
Just, you know. Throwing that out there, lol.
They have made a LOT of comments about this guy's nose, what, is he the dominant of Cerberus, lol
Well, I've got a hanged man that'll get people talking, but I've also got work in the morning irl, so. Calm down about the fire dominant for a minute, Clive, neither of the townsfolk we spoke to had much of anything useful to say anyway. We'll both worry about this crap tomorrow.
.....I'm gonna have Regrets when my alarm goes off in 6 hours.

no subject
Cackling over this.
Awww she's been the one taking care of Torgal! I like her.
Charon. ♥
Also agreed, they waited way too long to give you the option to interact with Torgal. Still can't interact with him all the time at the Hideaway but it's always fun to me to see where he is?
lol he's another Cidolfus.
"Guys you know how we could make that Thunder God Cid thing from FFT *even more obvious*?"
no subject
I do like seeing where he gets to when he's not tailing me! But it is absolutely a crime that we can't pet him when he isn't.
I swear if he starts rattling off the thunder god speech at some point i'm'a lose it
