Hello everyone! To tthe question,
will i ever cover the lore of ff14 to the extyent that ive done qwarcraft over the years...i
dont know yet. Im still very early in the game and i want to enjoy all of it first
but thats not to say that certain things dont massively stand out. Certain things that just
get the itch going to make a video, to talk about and share what gets me excited about the game.
one such thing is how littlep uzzle pieces, conversations, things you might not notice
at first glance can come together to tell a full story and they can actually come together to play
a big part in your msq. The warrior of light is not the only one that lives and breaths in this
world. Chars go through their own things as wel. They go through their own things,
have their own dialogue. I really hope that at the end of the video you might make some
connections that you’ve never seen before like the time we made our very to our very first dungeon.
Just outside of Sastasha we find Edda Pureheart and her party of fellow adventurers,
Liavinne, Paiyo Reiyo and Avere. At first glance there doesn’t seem to be a whole
lot of substance here. They’re making fun of Edda for being so slow, picking on the healer.
Avere isn’t too happy with us being there, the job that we’re going in for should have been
theirs from the start. They shouldn’t have gotten us involved and why the hell did Edda take so
long. The only things she’s realyl good for is the contets of her pockets. IF she didn’t have enough
money to buy the potions they needed, she should have just used some of her own funds. Side note,
we later find out that this is her beloved fiance... This is the way
he treats her and he’s not the only one. Liavinne while gulping down her drink also
makes fun of Edda for being so slow and side note as we will later find out, Liavinne is actually in
love with Avere. Maybe even an affaire right under her nose? Who knows, not our Edda thats for sure.
She takes the abuse, even apologises. She cme as fast she could. Tried to haggle with the merchant,
but two potions was the best he was going give her with the money Avere had given her. She had
no idea how expensive they were. Clearly they’re not the most experienced party out there. Paiyo
Reiyo pipes up, saying that this mission would be perfect for their inaugural outing as a party,
the beginning of a lifelong journey together as heroes wandering around the caves and turning
over a few rocks. This was their start... how difficult could their first mission possibly be...
lizard falls down, victory song, duty complete
We take care of business and then are asked to venture into the Tam-Tara
Deepcroft. Again we can see Edda’s party outside but this time their run ends quite tragic. Death
has become an ever more occurence within our fraternity of late. Times being what they are,
the guild is constantly inundated with petitions, and we are hard-pressed to find enough hands to
deal with them all. While this means no shortage of work for able souls such as yourself,
it also provides amply opportunity for the inexperienced to overreach themselves – with
predictable consequences. Ah...as if to illustrate the point...
Liavinne: Averes gone and its all your fault! IF it hadnt taken you
an age to heal him, he would still be alive! But i tried! He bolted out of range before
i could finish my spell. He shouldn’t have been so hard-pressed in the first place...We
should’ve done more to lighten his burden...” Paiyo: Bah! To the hells with this pathetic
excuse for a party! I’m leaving, and it’d be too soon if I never see your faces again!
Good-bye, and good riddance! Liavinne: I’m leaving aswell.
I doubt this comes as any surprise, but I never liked you. I only suffered you for your healing,
but you couldn’t even do that one thing right. Crue though this may sound,
you brought this upon yourself. Oh, and by way of some parting advice...get rid of Avere’s head!
Bury it, cremate it, do whatever the hells you like with it – but for gods’ sakes,
stop carrying it around. It’s just... just get rid of it, all right!?
Wait...don’t leave me alone please... Im so sorry Avere, please forgive me.
Scenes like this have become all too common. That makes a dozen times in half as many days...
The healer is being blamed for the tanks death which happens all the time right,
but here the tanks death meant not only the death of her beloved fiance,
the rest of ther party straight up abandons her. Leaves her alone with nothing but the
severed head of her Avere to keep her company. This is where they could have left it. A simple
blame it on the healer joke, but this is only the beginning. Liavinne would find her way into our
headquarters where we can talk to her, that’s also where we learn about her love for Avere.
Shortly after, she follows him into the grave. In the meantime we’ve also seen Edda again
who wanted to have a word with us before returning to her village.
Oh before i forget, there’s a lass here who wants a word with you. Didn’t actually know your name,
but hearing her description, I knew who she meant right away.
thank you for sparing the time. I realize you don’t know me, but I’ve been longing
to speak with you for a while now. My name is Edda. I’m an adventurer like
you, though i’m not very good at being one, if truth be told. Anyway, I was adventuring
with my friendfs in Gridania when...Im sorry. We were in Gridania...when the leader of our party
was killed. His name was Avere, and he and I were to be wed in the spring.
You may not remember him, but to say that he remembered you would be an understatement.
He would sing your praises from dawn to dusk. He saw you for what you are,
you see – an adventurers adventurer – and swore that he would be like you one day.
I believe that he would have succeeded...had a fiend not robbed him of the chance.
Sicne that day, I have thought long and hard about giving up adventuring.
But when I think of the man you are – of all that you’ve achieved – I find that I am inspired,
just as Avere once was. And so I’ve decided to start again as an
adventurer. I will go back to the village of my birth and begin my training anew.
But I wanted to meet you first...to ask you your name.
Nobbel Ara... I shan’t forget.
Thank you Nobbel Ara. I pray that we will meet again. Fare you well!
Again at face value you might not consider this dialogue to be that out of the ordinary. It’s
not the first time that people sing our praises but remember....we saw their little group before
going into Sastasha and her fiance was actually pretty pissed at us for taking their work.
Would they actually have started praising us or is this more poor Edda’s mind making up her own
story, her own world as she goes along. Can you really blame her after being abandoned
like that? Who knows what she has gone through before she spoke with us... We can only guess,
but what we do know is what happened after this...and owww boy does the rabbit hole go deep.
1 I finally mustered the courage to speak with your hero, my love.
Nobbel is as kind and wise as he is brave and strong. He listened attentively as I told him
all about you – about us. Though he is a man of few words, or perhaps because he is, everything
he said seemed to inspire me. Why, his gaze alone instilled me with a confidence I never knew I had.
Truly, I feel better prepared to face the future for having met him. How right you were, my love.
Journal notes after meeting us, again with the whole praising while being dead. This is the
first note which means all of this happens while her fiance is nothing but a decapetated head...
2 Scarcely a week has passed since we returned to the village, and already
I cnanot help thinking it was a mistake. There was a time when this place seemed just large enough.
But having seen the wider world, it all feels so insufferably confined
that I often find myself struggling for breath. I know that it is the same for you, my love.
The only time I feel truly alive is when I am adventuring with you.
We are as caged birds in this backwater. So long as we remain here, we will never spread our
wings and soar. So let us take to the road, and create a lifetime of wonderful memories together.
3 Torn folio: I could not have hoped for a more romantic first visit to mor dona.
The crystals that pierce the landscape glowed in
all their majety, as if to celebrate our future together. And as we lazed by SIlvertear Lake,
watching the waves lapping at the shore, the sun took its leave behind the horizon,
that we might enjoy a moment of intimacy. “I want us to be together forever.” You first said these
words to me years ago, and you said them to me again tonight. I am so happy to be with you.
All the traveling around doesn’t do the head with nobody any favours though...
4 Torn folio: You have been looking deathly pale of late. The scorchign heat of thanalan
does not agree with you. You were never fond of hot climes ,and it was a mistake to come
here. Let us make for coerthas, where the bracing air will put roses on your cheeks.
That not being enough, Edda comes up with a new plan... provide her beloved with a brand new body.
It would be easy enough to get an ordinary corpse for him as ordinary
adventurers die often enough...but nah that won’t do. She wants his body to be like us
and to make that happen, they cant settle for anything less than extraordiary.
A strong body requires an equally strong soul which are rare but never fear, for they can
create one themselves! All they’ll need is a plentiful supply of the weaker kind,
and those are common indeed. Within the Tam-Tara Deepcroft she does her thing, experimentations,
rituals... she even tries out her necromantic abilities on Liavinne... Its a gruesome scene,
one we get to witness as she’s been inviting people over ofr her wedding including Paiyo
Reiyo. They were ab it confused to hear that their old party members were getting married,
especially since...you know...one of them is dead. Thats our breadcrumb guiding us in,
show up just as Edda wanted and ofcourse put a stop to all this madness.
deat hcutscene
In her final moments she almost seems sane again,
happy that we put her out of her missery but again they could have ended it here BUT THEY DIDNT.
“CUTSCENE GNOME SPOOKED.”
The plot thickens once more as Eddas soul is claimed for the palace of the dead.
A place where the rooms are ever changing and now we’re dealing with beings from different video
games making their way into 14. We eventually put eddas spirit to rest... at long last...with
just one final kick in the heart as we realise that her so called beloved fiance couldnt even
bother to keep an eye on their engagement ring...but thats neither here nor there.
Point of the story is that even the small things you just comeacross and might not even notice can
end up playing quite a part in the MSQ and I thought that was great and worth sharing...
Until next time...see ya!
