Is this a Minfillia Episode? Am I gonna get emotional?
Good grief, it's just been a week of final fantasy questions with me😂: sorry about that at all, because I've been in the middle of one move to another and I've just been all over the place
I cannot help but wonder if the Crystal Exarch is a Sin Eater or becoming one as I have noticed the white around his face and how he keeps his face hidden. (I have only played FFXIV up to Stormblood and watched you play up to this point, so I truly do not know as of yet.)
Playfriends, the Crystarium's forces are wounded. There are dead and dying across Lakeland. But they have defended their homes and the Warrior of Darkness stands tall (metaphorically). This is your spoiler free lore comment.
8:05 – For all the death, suffering, and horror, the people of the Crystarium believe in the future. They believe that the light can be banished and their world saved. Stretched to the breaking point, wounded, but not broken. The Crystarium lives on. And they wish to uphold a dream of a world repaired… which makes them sound a lot like Emet-Selch's Ascians.
11:10 – Heavy is the head that wears the crown. But The Crystal Exarch will not allow you to take an ounce of it from his burden.
13:45 – Vauthry holds more than power, more than authority. He holds their minds…
25:20 – Durmin will be taking this next leg of adventure with Minifilia and her two dads!
31:30 – Durmin Durami – High Roller! Good thing we've got all that good will banked with the Mord.
35:45 – This may seem obvious in retrospect, but Eulmore is the only group in Norvrandt that has demonstrated airship capability.
With a sparse lore day, let's go back to the Crystarium Deliveries! This time, we'll cover the Facet of Crafting, which covers Leatherworker, Carpenter, and Weaver. Thiuna and her pet Allagan information node, Noddy, are in charge of the Facet of Crafting and their own shop, Cherished Memories. While most members of the Facet of Crafting are all about making the day to day items that folks need, Cherished Memories are specialist restorers. Across the last century countless personal items have been damaged or lost in the aftermath of the Flood of Light, and Cherished Memories is the shop to bring them back to life. And you're here to help them out, renewing an ancient elvish painting, an heirloom jewelry box, and a traditional amaro saddle. But not everyone is happy with the team at Cherished Memories. Owell, who apprenticed alongside Thiuna when they were young, decries her work as frivolous, depriving the Crystarium of good labor and materials that could be used for items in need. But Thiuna knows that Owell's heart was wounded by their master's final act: traveling to gain the materials to repair a precious lute. The Crystarium lost a master craftsmen and the man who helped raise Thiuna and Owell for the sake of a musical instrument, and Owell cannot forget what that folly cost him personally. Thiuna knows that repairing these small items aren't essential to people's survival; these relics are necessary for people to do more than that, they need them to live. To mend a quarrel between siblings, to honor old traditions almost erased by the Flood, and to remember those they loved and lost. And Owell is no different. As Thiuna sets out to repair their master's lute, his final job, you help heal the rift between the two craftsmen. Owell reveals that his jaded view was not just due to the loss of the man he looked up to, it was guilt. He was the one who damaged the lute in his carelessness. Their master died in an attempt to repair the mistake he was responsible for. And in all of his rants to Thiuna, he only sought to prevent her from befalling the same fate as their old master. With their friendship mended like the lute, the two enjoy a drink at the Wandering Stairs and play their master's lute before an enraptured audience.
Next time: Our adventure gets on rails. Trolley Trolley Trolley…
– he might be the founder of the Garlean Empire, but he does have a point, Thancred needs to actually tell his real feelings to Minifillia before is too late – i mean, i think i can make a pretty educated guess as to where in Kholuxia the guy who found a way to command Sin Eaters might be hiding the Ligthwarden – i love the mords
37:48 The option of "Might die, but eh." is just so wonderful. One of the things they've done so well with Shadowbringers is allow the player to start ROLEPLAYING their WoL's personality in different ways with dialogue choices. They change nothing in the story and often don't even alter the followup lines, but getting to make those little choices still gives so much illusion of choice.
I could totally see so many of the tank mains in my FC picking that first option. They're so used to primals and beasts lightwardens punching them as hard as they can in the face that eh, they say the gondala's a deathtrap, I'd probably survive it.
I mentioned this the last time that the word came up, but Dan has the pronunciation right: Spagyric is a term referring to, essentially, herbal alchemy.

Clawed is a perfect mount that can survive in any environment. Skuttle to glory with your big shell.
Oooooo I just realized one of my favorite solo duties is coming Soon. 8DDD

17:31, he may be the villain, BUT IT'S ABOUT TIME Thancred got a talking to about this XD.
What exactly is a medicinal scent?

14:20 – Telepresence spell!
16:00 – The day Thancred has dreaded has come. His choice is being forced, and his dawdling is coming back to bite him.
19:00 – DADCRED!

Two Minfilias enter, one leaves. But which one will Minifilia sacrifice? Herself, or her predecessor?
next time: TROUBLE WITH THE TROLLEY, EH???
