I finally have a class at the right level to proceed with MSQ and

Nani the fuck I have questions

We're in... Alexandria????? like IIRC isn't that the name of the kingdom in FFIX??

I'm suspicious as hell r/n I don't trust it

EVEN IF SHE DID LOOK VERY UNHAPPY DURING THE ATTACK

oh interesting was this a hostile takeover and she only accepted co-ruler to keep more carnage from happening? (Don't answer this is just my theory after she said she was once sole ruler)

and that is exactly what it's looking like

Alisaie's reading my mind here, there's no guarantee this isn't a trap

I just realized the quest name I completed. The Eighth Umbral Calamity. GDI.

yeah this is absolutely FFIX music

why does everyone have electronic devices on their head like Zoraal Ja had

... what shit has Erenville's mom gotten herself into because Sphene was real tight-lipped about it in front of the soldier walking by

THIRTY-YEARS?! After an even that happened for us only a couple of days ago!?

so why Zoraal Ja assumed Golaal Ja Ja was dead makes sense now if it was that long

Galool Ja Ja? Spelling x_x

Man I'm a little sad Koana can't see all of this but I'm sure Wuk Lamat will tell him all about it when she gets back

I still don't know what to make of Sphene

oh no is this Wuk Lamat's nursemaid

Namikka

... what are soul cells

Sphene's hiding something and I have no idea what

was the memory of Namikka wiped from these people's minds what is going on

storing memories in the cloud what the actual fuck

what is going on with Erenville...?

little robo friend seems cute...

I HAVE QUESTIONS

Welp goodbye any dignity Erenville had, especially if this is somehow his mom

also please tell me we get a little version as a minion because I want it

THIS DIRT

okay so she is alive somewhere

okay they were originially trying to stop this mini re-joining, good to know

Well that explains how Zoraal Ja didn't die

this is some sci-fi insanity

these poor twins and no I don't mean the twins T_T

I don't like this they're bringing in Shadowbringers doom music

Just reached Solution Nine. "You had me at "explore!""

also I don't think G'raha's tail rendered properly here

Girl you're saying that like he wants peace and I know he doesn't

okay NOW she's asking for something semi-reasonable and something we were already planning on

Wuk Lamat bringing up everyone fighting over Electrope if it existed in Ethyris... Yeah Sphene's face is telling me that's EXACTLY what happened to Alexandria

holy crap this map is busy. I shouldn't be surprised but dang

Why do I feel like this is a joke about how grapes look in FFXIV

as I'm listening to Sphene talk about the history of aether imbalance in Alexandria I'm starting to wonder just which shard this is supposed to be

wow I get being terrified of the spectre of death but can this dude fuck off with his entitled attitude

(like I'm sorry but how hard it is to find an alternate means to work)

okay it seems like Sphene is under near-constant surveillance if she keeps wanting to tell us something but the instant she tries a soldier appears

we're chasing after a kidlet that looks a lot like Zoraal Ja apparently

He's the one who gives us job armor isn't he

the husband and wife who founded oblivion to prevent the fusion of worlds... I'd bet money those were Krile's parents because this shit is NEVER coincidental in video games

and this just feeds into that line of thinking

WoL seems PETRIFIED of helping Genolt lmao

R U D E

She has no idea

We had to pick up an energy drink for Genolt... It did things to us. I'm sad I couldn't take a picture of the actual effect before it faded though

that effect was on me earlier! I'm glad I caught it before it faded this time

fffffff poor kidlet Galool Ja

I feel like I've said this a lot but I have questions

... this game isn't telling me that Sphene is over 400 years old.

oh Erenville T_T

I'm starting to get a bad feeling again

I feel like Sphene is about to do a tragic turn on us out of no choice of her own.

oh jeez Zoral Ja's on the march

oh boy, several cutscenes time. No level sync though so there shouldn't be fighting... Right?

that said Wuk Lamat employing actual strategy... Here's hoping it'll work.

I was about to be so mad at Zoraal Ja for killing Wayakkwe just as he freed her, but Wuk Lamat's reflexes save the day!

oh god damn it I knew it

I knew she was fishy but damn it all

AGH I FORGOT ABOUT MAITENANCE I'll have to watch the rest of the long cutscene sequence tomorrow

ffffffff this cutscene man... there's a lot.

I'm still upset over Sphene =T

Estinien's being extra as usual...

god Urianger and Thancred are so gay in this scene, complaining about the delay in their vacation XD

god I'm loving seeing Bakool Ja Ja come into his own rather than using underhanded tactics

oh hi Vrtra good to see you, when did that alliance happen XD

Koana works fast!

Sigh, I'm not surprised that Zoraal Ja is being an ass to Sphene's people at this point. He's really that self-centered

Wow ALL OF THEM?!

oh dear I'm worried for Gulool Ja

what the fuck did Zoraal Ja just perform some kind of override on Otis T_T

oh boy solo duty time

this is horrifying

that Gulool Ja actively understands why we have to kill Zoraal Ja now T_T

Otis no

jeez...

RIP Otis... But what is Sphene racing off to do??

I want to hug him

just got the best minion in the game

I did just spend like five minutes chasing a speedy little kitty and regret nothing

oh wow I think this is the first time I heard the summon bell in Solution 9 and it's different

Just ran Origenics with the duty support and I'm glad I did as it let me read the information terminals... Including those two.

cool there's a giant voidgate above our heads...

well crap where does it lead then

yeah he's not looking so good

Everkeep is now accessible

Everkeep conquered and I am wondering where the flying fuck the MSQ is going to go from here. I'll put up a new plurk tomorrow, gonna finish this quest real fast before bed.

I'M UPSET

I'M REALLY UPSET

Sphene the fuck are you doing

Sphene the fuck are you doing

welp she's going mad

And she just fucked off to another world

Good question, Alphinaud. Good question

Erenville...

Kiddo I'm gonna worry regardless

Well crap

Can I hug her

I needed this dose of cuteness after all the heavy cutscenes

perfect and I'm so glad her people are accepting of this too

New Containment Plurk
