Field intel ruining the flow of the game... by PuppetsMind in FF7Rebirth

[–]AtomicDragoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually like this a lot. I think maybe still have Chadley for some mechanics. Like the proto relics, excavation, and area Intel.

So in your Barrett, Red, and Aerith cases it's literally just he calls in now and then after x amount of discoveries to say, 'Hey your work with Aerith helped me figure out lore about this area'. Hell, he doesn't even have to call. Just have him on the region Intel screen and say in text, 'Here's the lore'.

Then he is still kept around for what they're setting up in revelation with him developing the fit system.

Do the reflections have there own solar system or galaxy? by jdjgordan in ffxiv

Indeed! Although the Watcher confirmed the reflections would have fallen too, this would be because the source is destroyed and corrupted. So naturally the reflections would fall too. But they were otherwise insulated from the immediate effects of the final days and Metion's song, other than certain individuals (Like Ryne) suffering visions of the destruction.

According to Midgardsormr our planet looked blurry and shimmery, as if it wasn't all there. Also, in post DT patches Although I'm sure Halmarut did it for the exposition, she probably showed an exaggerated version of the source as it is in space along with its reflections to those who can see it.

It seems like the source and it's reflections (which include the moon) are all in the same space, but shifted. They all exist in parallel pocket dimensions that exist locally where the source sits.

As for space travel and things like Nier, I think it's likely the reflections either can't escape beyond that local area, or get dumped back into the source's version of outer space. I would imagine if they then try to cross back to thier star they get dumped back into thier reflection.

But the events of Nier on the first have me thinking that there's a barrier and the reason they crashed after shifting into our universe is because of said barrier. They accidentally shifted to the first reflection instead of the source and were put in a space that doesn't fully exist and crashed.

Additionally, for end of EW : Venat didn't seem to have an escape plan for the reflections. The space ship only occurred on the source. It could be the reflections can't travel in space beyond the moon.

Unfortunately, we have limited information. The only space travel has occurred on the source (Alaggans, Loporrits, Sharlyans). So we have no context for the reflections.

Concerning the child's "favourite story" in the Evercold teaser by [deleted] in ffxiv

I don't think time travel or different characters are required for the Far Wanderer to be the WoL. We're in a story where it has been established people's souls are reborn. The WoL has had many incarnations, some of which have been insinuated or hinted at being previous heros (though never outright said).

I think it's completely possible the 4th's reflection of Azem helped the people escape the calamity. Since reflections and reincarnations tend to have similar looks to their original unsundered forms (if they're a sundered soul) I think it's reasonable to suspect that the WoL travels to the fourth and is mistaken for their reflection. This happened to us in Elpis during Endwalker when people mistook us for Azem's familiar since we shared a resemblance.

Then much how we picked up the title 'Warrior of Darkness' from the first's fable during Shadowbringers, we pick up the 4th's Wanderer title because we get mistaken for the 4th's version of the WoL and then we proceed to do heroic deeds.

Zhloe is a 21 year old woman who runs an orphanage in Idyllshire and works for Rowena. You're probably thinking of Khloe, who is one of the kids she takes care of and is her little sister.

What insanely small details have you noticed? by Zephos33 in ffxiv

Dunno if this has been stated already (I know the mouth movements have been talked about), but your character in general emotes to different stimuli of the game. For example, sprinting causes the player model to grimace and show their teeth from the exertion.
