To the Arcadion! - FFXIV Gameplay Lore

So the reason her soul is collapsing is because it's become aspected. We can cure it with either the primal cure, or we can use dynamis, to aetherial stabilize her by removing the corrupted bits. We still have to touch on the Garlean radio and Graha's hometown of Corvus where they got the dynamis ore.

This raid tier has got to be my favorite in presentation of any raid before it. Pure WWE inspiration on the thematics with the rivals and face n heel turn moments. And I'm glad it was very up front with discussing the horrors of Alexandria holding onto the reservoir of Souls and giving us a clear reason to beat every tier, freeing all those Souls and return them to where they belong in the sea of souls. Only real mystery to ponder outside Wicked Thunder wanting to save herself with a dense soul to cleanse hers, is who is the President and what is his actual goals orchestrating these fights. Still looking forward to the next tiers. Also I love Honey B Lovely and her fight n song, I need her transformation as an attire on the Mogstation alongside Sphene's getup

I expect Lalafells to be in the heavy weight category because of their density.

[@dullahandan4067]

those born on the solution 9's shard had 1/14 of a soul. after being transported to the source were new births 8/14s? and if that is not enough to handle the feral soul fusion why would the one extra the WoL has be that much of a differentce?

[@WyrmLimion]

Thats an interesting question. I frankly have no idea lol

[@willsword8100]

These powers resemble the Ancients and might hint at how beastmaster works.

[@syllawblood]

The first monster is from XI iirc. I'm assuming the rest of the fights will go that way.

[@Psi10w]

Freaking yujiro hannma fight lol

[@acgearsandarms1343]

I assume Neoteric is the opposite of Esoteric?

[@WyrmLimion]

Think it means new, modern, futuristic? So shes a modern Witch?

[@acgearsandarms1343]

@@WyrmLimion She is using what is essentially a high tech crystal ball, so likely.

[@funkyguy9713]

Im really glad they are addressing the disgusting practice of using souls and not just allowing Alexandria to keep all their souls, and i hope the conflict boils over so we get a better resolution. I also really like that they let the WOL stick to their morals and not use souls in anyway.

[@elvangulley3210]

I would have like to have the option to use them

[@WyrmLimion]

Fully agreed. I suppose after the attack they cant just take them away, and I guess we don't have a right to either. But something has to give. Maybe after all is said and done with Arcadion he dangers will cause them start being phased out. I get the feeling the standard use also has side effects no one knows about yet.

[@acgearsandarms1343]

I shudder to think what happened to their world’s Lifestream if their process completely bypasses it. If souls no longer go there, what happens to it and subsequently what happens to the world? If something happens to one, it affects the other.

[@syllawblood]

I feel it's a plothole. Why not just use the 30 years to train an army of soul using former gladiators? Was Sphene really able to mitigate the one true heir that much?
