like something something lifestream.... somethingsomething aether.........

playing someone who's supposed to know how to explain these things eloquentlyyyyy

lmaoooo

the answer "i come from a world made partially by the guys who did KH, it's complicated" haha

LOL

that's.. true though, I do feel slightly more comfortable than I feel trying to do anything kh because uhhhh what is even happening anymore

I WOULD LOVE TO PLAY FROM KH

I am too terrified because what

do

lol

i have never played a KH game myself, and i've only seen 1 + chain of memories get played... and parts of 2

i love some of the characters but no you couldn't pay me to parse the lore

lmao

yeah and at that point it's like "oh getting a little weird but okay I can follow this"

and then right after that it's like

yeah ok nvm lmo

lmao*

there's just so many games!! so... granted, I've not been in the ffxiv loop but

I THINK... YOU'LL BE OKAY

I hope so... I should just put a note in his journal or something like "ps don't quote me on any lore mechanics lmao pls assume I make sense"

man the lifestream was always such a beautiful concept

you're doing just fine shush

awww ty I hope so!!!

but yes I agree, I like it a lot

but it's like I get the basic gist of it but worry I am messing up on the finer details lol

fair! I played Neji from Naruto for years and Boy did I have to explain Chakra A Lot

omg yeah I think I would have a similar issue with that lol

I think it's fair to have it be a misspoken thing too if a small detail is off, it's really easy to get overwhelmed by lots of lore

things where you just wanna be like "YOU KNOW???" but maybe they don't quite know

so I get you don't worry xD

the fun thing about kingdom hearts is the characters don't have any clue how their lore or mechanics work either

meanwhile I'm over here like misunderstanding something basic and typoing stupid things for no reason, NO EXCUSES

trying to avoid things like [Alphinaud explains this so more eloquently than I would]

they just talk a big game and hope for the best

you know that is beautiful lmao

haha, I love that

"it works because it does"

"oh good I was right"

"i don't make the rules i just live in the place"

"have you tried zipping it down and back up again?"

LOL

somethingsomething Kingdom Hearts

"have you tried adding more zippers and saying light/darkness a lot?"

somethingsomething door to darkness??

furthermore: what happens if we unzip Donald's hat

no, seriously

is this a real door????

omg lol

"don't ask why Donald doesn't wear pants and that's okay, he gets upset"

pants = darkness

got it

omg it all makes sense. SOMETHING WE ALL KNEW

the pants have fallen to darkness

KH was just showing us the way of pants being darkness

it's official, no more pants everybody

also, I know I'm a million years (two weeks) behind everyone

but I finally got to Verum Rex and mwah fantastic~

xiv is like, the most sensical thing in the world compared with kh................

i finished kh3 and was just more confused

that said i do not envy alphinaud rpers having to be nerds about this stuff

HAHA... I... still haven't finished dream drop distance so I haven't played iii yet kljsdfjlksd

but yeah that was always my main concern with wanting to play Alphi...

something amazing happens when you go to the Toy Story world

I'll leave it at that

#2 is just the general "this is a long ass canon and I can't remember who/what I'm supposed to know or not"

I have finally reached a point where I decided to say YOLO

you do just fine tho

sfdlkj I'm glad you think so!!!

FF14 wasn't touched by Nomura as far as I'm aware like idk where "partially made by" comes from

i'm glad to know that kh3 is just more confusion, because we're only slowly going through the games at a glacial pace...

lol

square enix, that's all i meant

and ff lore stuff

YEAH kh3 was fun to play gamewise but i barely had a clue what was happening with the overarching plot

i was just there for smacking things with a keyblade

I didn't bother with KH3 once I knew how it ended. Just ruined it for me XD

Although I dont doubt the game is a ton of fun

it looks pretty fun! but we don't want to play it without at least catching up somewhat...

only being up to 2 just won't do us any favors...

YEAH.... yeah.... no spoilers ofc but for me personally, fun to play was about all i got out of it LMAO

fair enough!! i've heard that more than once actually

LMAO yes theres a lot of required reading for kh3, if you want to have even an inkling of whats going on

basically, yeah lmao

and even then you still probably wont realize whats going on

that's fine, if it's enjoyable to go through and it's not gonna be on the test

im pretty sure they just pull plot twists out of a hat and choose plot threads with a dartboard

i'm golden

but its.. pretty! and you hit x a lot

yeah I did hear that as well...

but pretty is good! fun is good!

going back to xiv plot feels like a dream afterward tho

have alphinaud adjust his spectacles and blather about aether and you sound like a genius

LOL

the nerd spectacles of his heart

yes hahaha

Whenever I think hard about ff or even kh plot I just remember that one scene with Barret in ff7

LOL

that is the most true for KH omfg

I've never related more with a character

... I APPRECIATE THIS

we are all barret

barret is now my spirit animal

he just says what we're all thinking

a brave man

that is surely me with kh 100%

OOF i feel you about ffxiv lore @ - @

if you want, i have a .pdf of the first lorebook sitting in my google docs? that should help a lil bit

We've had to like, actuyally figure out how Aether works for Syn!canon so that was fun

I'M GLAD IT'S NOT JUST ME TBH sometimes I feel like these are things everyone knows and I'm just dumb lmao

ephinea that would be super cool if you don't mind sharing!! +_+

ye! i'll stick it in here for anyone else that wants to nab it

almark here u go!

be careful tho bc it is 300 pages LMAO

YOU ARE WONDERFUL BLESS YOU AND THANK YOU

GO FORTH AND BE THE NERD YOU WERE MEANT TO BE

There’s “Just how obscure is that job crystal in lore terms?... this) really good post that explains the like, probable rarity of soul crystals and therefore the kinds of Aether manipulation that is common and uncommon
