kay I gotta get through 4.2 - 4.5 before I can get to the good bits
I'm pissed that Zenos is alive, and even more pissed that there are people who like him enough to want him to be available for trusts
omg Tsuyu feeding Gosetsu. AND HE WAS GONNA NOM
hjkgs
Tsuyu: Take off your clothes
Alisaie: what. what are you doing to her.
I'd take Yugiri and Hien and Lyse and Fordola as trust guys anytime
asahi is so slimy and annoying lol, at least I know he kicks it pretty quick (and in the stupidest way to boot)
asahi you need to keep quiet, when I hear your voice I just want to speed up the cutscenes
oh! Just 1 primal and 2 dungeons to get through? That's not so bad!
okay time to hit the Tsukuyomi videos
oh my god what are these mechs
"Even if this is the will of heaven, this is too horrible.." Gosetsu T_T
he ranks high up on my favourite NPCs
I'm still so very upset at the Zenos Is Alive twist thing
and why? "Because Ascians!" like everything in ARR lol
Alisaie: Since we've got nothing to do...how about a chat over tea?
Yshtola: Sounds good.
Alisaie: Cool I'll make a tea
Quest: Sit at the table
I love
From rogue to possessed to heartbroken to TANK. Thancred for best job revamp.
Gaius: shoots down a flying craft no problemo
Yshtola: So this is the Azim Steppes. The tales do it no justice.
Hien: Wait till you see it from higher ground!
Hien: ...in fact, let me show you!!!

this guy imlove

SADUUUU
she's too good for Magnai :'D

SCREECHING
I switched to DX11 and my FPS is now averaging at 27 :'DD but I got the Expresso Glow reshade to go with and the game looks pretty damn amazing
I need a better PC, as I say ALL the time lol
feel like I might lag and die in a trial or something..

KOWAI
switched back to dx9 because lagging too bad..
and I'm at 50FPS... some other time, DX11+Expresso Glow T_T
I was really dreading having to go through the 4.x patches because of the whole ZenosIsAlive/AsciansEverywhere thing but it's been building up really good to 5.0

DUDE YOUR GLAM BE BANGING
I'm weak for fur-lined coats
poor Varis though...surrounded by Ascians. Everything is Ascians. I feel you man

I'm weak man, I'm so weak

IMDED VARIS SHOT HIM WHILE HE WAS RUNNING HIS MOUTH OFF
he comes back because that's what Ascians do but STILL FUNNY
love the music playing in this scene too, gotta go look for it on YT now

Matoyaaaaa

Gaius for trust
Emet-Selch: Chaotic Chaos
Eorzea Alliance + Doma: So what is it that you want, Varis?? What're you fighting for??
Varis: Cross-universe Human Instrumentality Project
Varis: Also, the empire is Ascians
Raubahn rousing the troops always gives me the chills
Lmao I‘m seeing your reaction to Emet Selch and I love it. Also ahh Crystal Tower will feel like a little side chore right now but it has likeable characters and will impact 5.0 so it‘s worth delaying msq for a bit!
Nero: hahahahaha cid you will never be rid of me hahahahah
LOL AT THE GATE BEFORE SYRCUS TOWER. 1 man and 1 woman carved on the door, so 1 man and 1 women go to open it
ohh so not just any man and woman, it has to be royalty
cid: why won't you bugger off
nero: neener neener neeeeeener

I read a theory about the CT being a giant cross-universe aetheryte

ding dong it's history o'clock

I hear ya Cid
Xande came back thrice the man he was.. I mean he's a GIANT
OH SHIT NERO GOT SUCKED INTO THE WOD TOO

cid u tsun
for a moment I thought Nero was gonna kick it and I was like "how??" since he shows up later in Stormblood or so

T_T Grahaaaaa

CIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIID
story-wise we haven't seen each other in so long even though I just saw you in real time earlier :'D

Cid T_T <3
I get to fight as Hien for a short while???? Thank you SB
I WOULD DROP ZENOS/ASCIAN LIKE A HOT POTATO TO GET TO YOU

NOOO DON'T LEAVE ME BEHIND WITH ZENOS
--but then I WAKE UP TO AYMERIC <3

AIBOUUUU

he's so pretty
T____T FOUNDATION'S DAY THEME STARTED PLAYING AND I FELT OVERWHELMED FOR A SEC THERE

Varis, your salt with the Ascians is so very valid

cliffhanger...AND ONWARDDDDDD
lmao the anthem started playing and I thought ALA MHIGO, but nope it's the Empire's
Garlemald, why do you steal another nation's anthem?

I'll continue tomorrow!! ShB HERE I COME
