Imagine a shitty wizard to desperately wants to keep a professional distance from you that he calls you by an extremely respectful title. At times you get the feeling like he's mocking you, at others, it's like he's punishing himself for wanting to say your name
I love expansion launch so much bc it's such a humbling experience for the WoL

Its kind of insane how accurate they predicted how stupid this whole thing would be.
Thinking about how the updates we've got about Roathe this year have been "here's a memory about how Nitokh wanted to turn him into a mindless monster to better serve her blood kink" and "Nitokh has Roathe chained to her throne in an alternate reality you can't go to"
every so often I remember one of FFXIV's worlds is named after emet-selch and I get super jealous that it's on a japanese data center so I can't play on it

Ancient being, unspeakable power, millennia of suffering. Still couldn't escape the 90s boy-crush haircut.
oh my god, they are like a masculine version of the maiden/mother/crone archetype.... like the 3 bears in goldilocks
Lahabrea is the Crone
Emet-Selch is the Mother
Elidibus is the Maiden
like they really had them in different life stages on purpose
Replying to @northgalis
*slams hands on desk* I was just thinking of the parental parallels, but I was focused on Zodiark (a patriarch broken, denied, controlled, with his orphaned and bereft children trying to heal). The three Unsundered represent similar stages of the maiden/mother/crone archetype.
Need to play Endwalker again bc I just have the memory of playing it one time and I just know there's so many details like that I couldn't catch

how Endwalker starts by introducing you to the twins' parents and then the story uses the parents to illuminate even more the world's father/patriarchal figure of Emet and the mother/matriarchal figure of Hydaelyn

I think this framing of Hydaelyn and Emet as Mother and Father of the world is tied together well with the shot of her walking forward in confrontation with him during the Answers cutscene, and Emet and her both leaving the scene after blessing the crystal
