oh shit I was gonna wash dishes tonight

Reminder that I'm using this list for my msq count.


They announced the dates for the FFXIV crossover event and it's BEFORE the next/final DLC date so that does put a bit of a hitch in my "maybe I'll wait until the DLC drops so I can just do it while playing through" ponderings.

Also it starts in like. A week. whoops, time to get the lead out.

(10 orchestrion rolls for 20k EACH?? I was feeling like they were expensive in here, I guess they're just carrying that over into Eorzea?? gdi Koji.)


Ah damn, my "that's February for you" comment about the skies doesn't hold now that it's late March.

It's fine though the more I look at it the more I'm reminded of an aether-charged sky ala Shadowbringers.

Goetz told Charon we flew back on the Phoenix and wants me to tell her it's true, lol.


Hahaha hey those are the bread we helped that guy design. Cute little scene if you talk to the kids, too.


FINALLY MADE IT TO RANK 5 SCHOLAR YEAH!!!

lol there's an entry for gil.

so, hhhaha? The entry for Barnabas's Mother..... "an Ultima-summoned illusion of her as His Majesty remembers her in life." I know we went over this last time but I mean when I recall my mother she's, you know. Dressed.


now the child has an eagle and is back to singing about his animals demises.


Where is Joshua, anyway. Don't tell me he dropped us off and then split.


"We need all the help we can get," claims man with no quests for me to accept.




Hunt marks:
Still that S rank
Ten of clubs, the sequel to nine of knives I guess, in Vamare, Dhalmekia, because they want someone both brave and foolish and if that don't fit Clive to a T.
The Mageth Brothers in Quietsands, Rosaria
Aaaand another S rank, RUIN REAWAKENED. hnmg no thanks.


Oh here's Joshua. The infirmary. Should've known. 9_9

Wait Dion's fxing ALIVE??? Damn, dude, what the hell are you made out of.



Anyway, Otto wanted something.


I already talked to Viv and Tomes, Otto. Though I guess now they've had extra thoughts.


Everyone's depressed so I bought the hall a round of drinks on my way back to Otto.


Only one problem?

Lol, same brain, Clive.


MARTHA, my favorite, what's up, heard you have an Akashic problem, to which I say -- *flames of rebirth* -- Akashic? WHAT Akashic? teehee toohoo

The scouting party isn't gonna make it? It's fine just throw Clive off the bridge onto them.

It's weird to be me that they're wondering where these are all coming from, though. These are just the wildlife, guys. The aetheric balance has gone all to fuck, this can't be THAT confusing.

At least if these guys hit us they don't infect us.


AKASHIC CHOCOBO? NOOOOOO Samson back at the hideaway was just talking about how chocobos are more resistant to it than most other creatures HOW DARE YOU MAKE ME KILL A CHOCOBO.

I know I'm doing them a favor of putting them down but boooo, hisssss.

.... I hope Ambrosia stays safe D:


Make for Martha's and pull the bridge up behind us, yeesh......


Ohhh Oscar buddy no this is NOT the time. Come back and ask me again when the apocalypse has been cancelled.


And since Rosaria is right there, let's go find that hunt mark before moving on.


IT'S THE MAGUS SISTERS, hahaha, they got gender-swapped!! I had kind of wondered at the name but figured it could be nothing.

Sitting here hoping I can drop one of them before they do Delta Attack (if they even have that) and foolishly not worrying about that Last Crusade. Owww.

I succeeded though. (My money's on them not having it.)


I got no preference for which one I help next. Isabelle is next on the list but L'ubor is closer to where I am now......
/as if I'm not just going to teleport there


Eh. Order on the checklist, it is.


I see the gay soldier and his courtier boyfriend are both still here. Good for them. Stay in, it's gross outside.


Stop going outside and start building walls, then. Come on. Defense is at least an option here, surely.




Hmmmm. This pillar wasn't active before was it?

Oh lol it's bahamut trial. No, it probably wasn't.


Wow, this place is creepy.


I was gonna ask how many stages this is but that portal to stage 4 is HELLA sus, so that's probably the boss?

Yes, okay, "proceed to final stage." Time to time out.

Oh just kidding I won somehow. I think it was my plaintive, Clive! when I failed to dodge the laser beam and lost like 95% of my health, because then I managed to activate something that ripped the other guy's head off.

Aaaand back out of the aether flood that we were going into for the hell of it anyway and back to the mission!!


As expected, thralls spawn in. Jill asks, should I Prime? Respectfully, ma'am, DON'T YOU DARE. Clive and I both need you to not hurt yourself any more than absolutely necessary.


Nice that they didn't make me walk back. Probably they saw how long it took me to get out there and decided to save us all some time.



I just spent an hour trying to get my PS5 back into the YouTube account I had set up for it but Google has decided I'm not allowed to have it anymore. Rot in your own piss, Google CEO and shareholders.



Anyway, le Uber.

Oh right they just had bandits. Much less apocalyptic.

MORE FIGHTING IN THE PUB

Oh hey Viktor. I don't remember you at all haha whoops.


Can we please just send us out into the desert to deal with the bandits, we all know that's what the result is going to be.


Viktor is telling so many lies here, hahaha. Good for him.



Lord Underhill!!! No relation to Mr Underhill of the Shire.


Good thing we talked to Viktor first, at least Clive could take SOME hint from Jill's response, but oh god this boy is so awful at this hahahaha

I know it's literally a voice actor's job to act with their voice but whatshisface who does CLIVE really nailed that, haha.

Gosh I can't believe Natalie saw through us. Such wow.


FINALLY. FIGHT TIME.



Hmm. I just walked through a small pack of leg eaters and helldivers and they didn't aggro. Tragically, my first thought was, oh no my connection.

IT'S NOT AN ONLINE GAME, GIRL.



.... hmm. The Akashic eagles aren't attacking either. What the heck?


Don't tell Ultima but if he really wanted to take me down he'd bring one of these giant axes to swing around. They're definitely the thing I have the hardest time dodging.


I cannot believe L'ubor wrote me a letter JUST TO SASS MY ACTING SKILLS.


I really need to stop poking around before talking to the plot-progression people, hahaha. Otto, I was JUST AT the infirmary, Joshua was definitely still completely unconscious.


Oh good Tarja let him put a shirt back on.


"Even if that means toppling an empire" I mean it's not like it's HIS empire why would he even hesitate


That's what we all want to know, Clive. Definitely related to your ability to eat other eikons, though.

malibu is here :))



Dang that's a lot of blood, Joshua.



The swiftest route is teleportation, for crying out loud (lol, alas).


Jill, I'm on your side here but I don't think he's gonna actually stay put.


HUNT:
THE PACK, south of Tabor, Dhalmekia


Uh oh. Another recipe quest. Okay that's DEFINITELY a dragon, but yeah let's check. It's a specific type of dragon, obviously, and I got nothing for the plant.


Why IS your uncle's butler at Martha's? How did he get there?! 'ohh Clive I need your help I can't fight, never mind I apparently crossed fields of ravening beasts.'


Goetz, how could you doubt your nan?? And now I have to get yelled at for it hahaha.


Well, there's the scales, haha. In pieces. XD

Uh, Clive, you forgot the--- lol. They noticed. Personally, I think "Cid" didn't actually know how to reassemble the scales, kids.


I wonder if Asta is pining after Dion? Sorry honey, he's gay.



Wait, hey. It won't let me travel to any of these other quest destinations. EXCUSE YOU???

UGH. FINE. I'LL PROGRESS MSQ. Off to the Echoes.

Joshua's all excited that the gang is back together and going out on an adventure and Clive just BURSTS HIS BUBBLE ENTIRELY what the hell, bro.


Oh hey I can teleport to other locations now hehehe... YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE, PLOT PROGRESSION.



Goetz is trying to buy info with 100 gil and a chocobo feather. Nnnnot sure how that's gonna work out for ya, buddy.


Haha. When even Clive says you've spun a fairly unconvincing tale....

whomst the fuck is "the Bauguin." This clown wants to know who I am, but I think my question is better.

---- Malibu, THIS IS WHY I CALL YOU "STINKY," GIRL HOW DO YOU PRODUCE THAT KIND OF SMELL.

Maybe this guy Goetz is taking with is the bauguin. He's clearly got a personal grudge.

Goetz, no one believes you're gonna kill this man.

wetlegs jksjssjakakkk


All the violence in this game and they shy away from Charon poking a man's eye out. Weird choice.

CLIVE HOW THE HELL DID YOU NOT--- for crying out loud. You are so oblivious, hahaha.


Anyway, on to Rutherford and whatever he's doing at Martha's.

Ah, just info gathering and wondering where his informants went. Ugh I just LEFT Dalimil.

"How are we gonna find one man in the whole Republic??" Walk five feet out of town, apparently.

Buddy, you can borrow ALL of their coin purses. I don't give a hang.


And now Northreach for ingredients and also the other missing man.


Oh good, the gay boys are still here.



Joshua just fcing Phoenix lasered a worgen. Child, that was supreme overkill.



Rutherford, your men can't stop getting mugged. This is kinda embarrassing, haha, these poor dudes.


I think the fried liver killed Yvan. I do hope they remembered to save some for Harpocrates.



*NOW* MSQ.


Clive, you COWARD, this tiny little gap is absolutely jumpable.

Ew, I see another stone thing down there. Maybe I'll pretend I didn't.


Ollll Flames of Rebirth hit some bombs down in the lower area. I can't get to them but we're locked in combat with each other so now I'm just waiting for flames to recharge so I can hit them again.

Ah. They self-destructed after that one. Phew.

Jote is Clive with better manners? haha listen here you little shit


At least the water down there still looks nice.


I'm not sure this merchant is still actually talking to us, but just in case: yes, orcs carry gil. Do they SPEND it? Couldn't tell you. But they do carry it.


I swear to god there's only like 4 NPC faces in this game. Two men, two women.

Hey Joshua is like. Right here. Maybe he could. You know. Help heal this dude? No? Aight. Whatever.


MAKING ME FIGHT CHOCOCOS AGAIN, GAME??


No, sorry buddy. No other survivors. WE HAVE DEFINITELY NEVER MET. EVER. AT ALL.

Do they actually let you fight this poor bastard? He's at least half dead, come on.

Yeah, yeah, you'll find me and kill me. The plot will probably beat you to it. Unfortunately.

Has he been here before? I really HOPE he's been here before, arranging a meetup point to be someplace you've never been seems more of something you would do, Clive. Joshua seems to have marginally more sense than that.


What's this camera angle, is she hiding in the rafters or something.


Ah, backstory and finally slightly more of an explanation of how Joshua survived.


MEANWHILE.....

you're not safe anywhere, el oh el.


Harbard, that's this also-Ultima guy's name. I can never remember.


Sorry, unnamed dude standing up back there. I don't think he's here to save you.

I'm not sure the guards are gonna be any help here either--- yeah.


"The girl" DOES HE MEAN MEDICINE GIRL. ARE WE GONNA FIND OUT HOW SHE FITS INTO THIS ALL.


Every time we zoom out on this guy I'm afraid there's gonna be another naked woman nearby.



That's not much of a tapestry left but.... We've seen it before.



Sorry, Jote. It was nice to officially meet you at least.



We should kill the aevis and bring the skin to Blackthorne instead. Though he hasn't been in a funk so I guess he doesn't need it right now.


And we should send this old guy off to hang with Tomes, heh. They'd enjoy each other's company.

.... Is there going to be a test on these.

South:
Guardians of the crystal, the first stones of Tabor,
Sacred hold thy noble blood, till ends the Mothers' labor

North:
Wanderers of the golden plains, lay your roots in stone,
With pride recall thy noble past, and make these rocks a home

East:
Children of the hunters, now tillers of the land,
Reap her promised blessing, and give praise her gracious hand.


That's two passing conversations mentioning a Cyril.

Buddy, the first one is like 12 yards away from you, you could CRAWL. You won't have to. But seriously it's right there.

I WANNA PICK THE ONE ABOUT MOOGLES. I'm not gonna. But I WANNA.


Amazing, Clive you memorized those flawlessly. Well done!



WHO INTERRUPTS MY EXIT FROM TOWN oh it's just the overheard of Cyril

Another Undying, they're just popping up left and right now that we know about them, eh?

(NEW PIN!!!)

In before half the named NPCs are members of the Undying.





hsjsjskakkaakak so I went to the right because I wanted to check out this path now that it's unlocked and JOSHUA, LITTLE SHIT, was like, clears throat, are you sure this is the right way?

I found the pack hunt mark so now I even look like I had a purpose beyond, oooo new area to walk down.

CLIVE. "remember, you're on my side, Torgal." AS IF THE BESTEST BOY WOULD E V E R.


/shouts back up the path, "SEE! TOLD YOU ORCS CARRIED GIL!"


The city is on FIYAH!!!


I'm gonna enter the city but I bet this is a chapter change and if it is I'm gonna call it.

"SOUNDS LIKE THUNDER"? Cid, you've been dead for five years but for fuck's sake.


Joshua get up you're embarrassing everyone, not least of all Mid.


Are we going to storm the city. Yep. In two groups, aight.

But NOT TONIGHT. We'll pick up next time with chapter 57: evenfall.


....Hey you know what I didn't see even once the last few days? "Insufficient inventory space. Potion used."
