The Garlemald section is the best part of the Endwalker MSQ, for me. Powerful storytelling about a race of people that have always been part of the story, but whom we have never understood.
Alisae: "Hope we get there before they do something wreckless"
Me: "I can't wait for them to get there before they do something wreckless"
it wasn't for nothing. He would rather die then betray his ideals in a way you gotta respect it.
Oh baby, I know what the next one is. Time to get serious!
Thus the end of the empire as we knew. The Empire was always prideful that they crawled from nothing (Without knowing you know who's direct theater nonsense) now that there empire was in ruins he saw himself as the last one who clung to there old philosophy and chose to never surrender his ideals.
Despite the empire always being defeated in a bombastic blast before, it is now a hollow whimper.
I had a long paragraph typed up here but eh, going to summarize instead: I just wanted this section immediately done as soon as the collars went on the twins – didn't care anymore about the Garleans, just wanted the twins safe again.
On a lighter note – holy bananas was the growth of Alphi and Ali so evident at this point. The kiddos are alright. <3 The music playing during their bit was the icing on the Cake of Feelings About the Twins.
I never understood why they can't answer that old man when he's asking "If you want peace so much, why did you resist the Garlean rule?"
Bitch are you serious? You people treat anyone who's not a pureblood as a 4th class citizen AT BEST, your entire civilization is based on strife and warmongering, and you keep calling us "savages" and "barbarians" even though, although we're not as technologically advanced as you because we have access to magic, we're still doing very well overall for ourselves.
Oh and also, we have successfully created a lasting alliance with 5 City States now, with minimal strife, and even worked on peace with the beast tribes (which you would probably just see a pebbles on the roadside or something).
And you wonder WHY we don't want Garlean rule? Are you effing kidding me!?
Frustrates me so much >_<
Quintus’ committing suicide was a reckless decision ever made. He just couldn’t let it go.
35:40 I thought the twins would shocked if you picked that option, but it's good to know he didn't go through with it
And now you know why he was so pissed you suggested you had a means to cure tempering. Outside the possibility of a lie, you dangle a claim that his family could of been saved but he killed them…
That scene was fucking crazy I'll just say that. When I was going through this part I hated him to the point I was like Oh I hope we kill him or something BUT NOT LIKE THIS! DX
"Get we get on the train?" Future RaptorChan must have had a giggle at that, given upcoming duties. 🙂
I remember doing this part and thinking when was it going to get better?
5.3 elidibus wasnt that all wrong about what he said about us after all
When I first realized Garlemald was going to be a single zone, I was admittedly worried how they were going to handle it with all the other stuff going on in the expansion without glossing over to many things.
I think it's safe to say they did it well, showing the mindset of the citizens, the pride driving everyone left into the ground, and the fact it wasn't easy for us to push through it to show we weren't there to do anything but help them (even if someone was true prideful to see it happen). They did Garlemald justice I feel… in all except the architecture, but I guess that's just how it is.
Raptor: "You can just die for your stupid dignity."
Things you regret saying one minute later. ^_^
Seriously though, a suicide of a leader in times like that is such a waste. Inevitable, perhaps necessary for the people of Garlemald given his beliefs, but still…
I really enjoyed this part of the story because up to this point there wasn't a whole lot in game that really talked about the struggles of the Garlean people up to this point. I learned most of my information from the Encyclopedia Eorzea, the official website, and the short stories. I also liked that, just like with Fourchenault, Alphinaud and Alisaie didn't have an answer for Quintus when he asked why they didn't simply accept Garlean rule if their goal was peace and prosperity throughout the world.
Has anyone ever seen a lala from Garlemald?
36:58 glad you didn't paint the floor red
I completely forgot about THAT, but tbf endwalker is just builde to whiplash you with emotions and keep you hooked. SHB was at least nice enough and be like "Here have some down time before we rip your heart out :)" That the dev's put that in was a HUGE step on their part tho.
The thing about Quintus' decision is that the hope he held onto for so long vanished in his ear. Hearing that most of the Legions who would've counterattacked the Contingent were either going AWOL or formally surrendering in full to the Contingent was breaking his heart. But what's worse for him was that the fight he held on for probably most of his life was slowly fading away. He could had been old enough to had witness the banishment of the Garleans to the north at his young age. Because of this, he probably saw the Empire as the true righteousness of the star. The bonds of blood for the Empire and it's people that he probably met and then witnessed dying for a cause that was ultimately for nothing (in his eyes) in the end.
He knew that he has lost but he also knew that he was already too old to change. No matter how Alphinauld and Alisaie forced him, This is what he has always been. He feared that he would never really change because the dream of a united star is all he knows about. He knew that Garlemald as the Empire is no more and that for Garlemald to fully return back into it's own peace, It had to be at the hands of the youth and so that's why he thought that he had to be gone.
