What really surprised me here
SPACE FOR SPOILER
was that many of the Endless were perfectly fine with being erased. Unlike their Queen who desperately holds on to this place, they could move on, making her efforts even worse
This place really reminds me of Outer Wilds Echoes of the Eye
I love this zone, i hope in the next patches restores how it was at the begining
Necron from ffix comes to game
Reminds me of Tidus’ Zanarkand: A collective memory that needed to end.
Contrary to what seems to be the popular opinion, I don't want Living Memory to ever be golden again. I've learned the lesson of the MSQ. Look back and remember the past fondly, but keep it there. If you expend energy to try to keep the past alive, you'll only end up like Alexandria as it truly is…desolate and lonely. Don't be afraid of moving on, continue to grow and don't be fooled bu the beauty of the past.
At least, that's the symbolism I read.
I hadn’t cried much this expansion until this goddamned zone, Ho boy even this music just slaughters me. Such a gentle and loving hug. I love this game.
Maybe I'm overthinking, but this song feels like it can end in a lot of moments, but refuses to end an continues on and on and on. I mean, some parts of the song can easily be the end in another songs, but here it just continues.
"This expansion, the last zone is the echoes of a lost civilization!"
"Square enix, this is the third expansion in a row you've shown the echoes of a lost civilization in class."
It's kind of funny. Before I got to Solution Nine and here, I had just finished Persona 3 Reload. A game based around momento mori as one of its themes and how the social links were about helping people who have death as a major factor in their life one way or another and helping them through it. And now we have a society that tries to deny death in multiple different ways. Ranging from actively removing memories to prevent sadness to making ghosrs so they can still continue
Given how things were going, I eventually anticipated Memoria… they put it in the same "position" on top of the "Iifa tree."
But I didn't expect it to be filled with these kinds of memories. Happy but to remember them brings a weight of time that admittedly makes me glad I got to play IX when it was fresh… because in a way, I was there then and they helped me remember the other locations in FFIX. From Clerya to the Dwarves of Conte Petie.
I still feel like there was a different way to save this city.
This place, and the Alexandrians' entire philosophy, makes me unbelievably angry. It is nothing but weakness to flee from inevitable death. You must accept it with an open mind and heart.
Nickname Chara Dreemur would fit this location
Genocide Route LETS GOOO
This zone made me cry more than Shadowbringers and Endwalker put together.
The first half of Dawntrail story was meh (though I believe it was intentionally that way), but the second half I liked more than both of the previous expansions.
Don't get me wrong, I LOVED both ShB and EW but something REALLY resonated with me with the second half of DT
this area so so beautifu lm so glad it wasnt the color purple
This zone broke me a few times. There was a point where I wasn't sure if I could keep going.
Looked for the City of Gold but i found City of Tears.
lazy afternoons?
