    Summary

    Past life memories can be inconvenient, especially when they’re awakened on accident by meddling gods. Past life memories that give you just enough information to be dangerous to the various bad guys, but not enough to act on that without risking a lot of lives with unknown gains? Inconvenient, stressful, and not great for sleep.

    Once, I was Tanya of Earth, a relatively new fan of Final Fantasy 14 after I got introduced to the story by Shadowbringer. Now I’m Tomoyo the Raen, formally of Othard, now of the La Noscea archipelago. And now, I’m the Warrior of Light, best of a bunch of bad options according to the Mothercrystal.

    My knowledge is spotty, my axe is sharp, and I’ve got a drive to learn and a new appreciation for all things magic and weird. If only I’d spoiled myself on Endwalker instead of holding off hoping to play it after release.

    But hey, I’ve got my own chocobo. That’s got to count for something, right?

    [A ‘live’ reaction to FF14’s A Realm Reborn, with spoilers from up to 5.4 due to metaknowledge, as written shortly before the release of Endwalker.]

    Summary

    “Have you thought about writing a thesis?”

    Alisaie frowned, puzzled at the non sequitur. “I beg your pardon?”

    Y’shtola took a sip of her tea. “For an Archon mark. You’ve already done the legwork.”

    ---

    Or: Alisaie gets some richly-deserved recognition for her contributions to the field of healing magick—after a grueling jaunt through formal academia, that is. Along the way, the rest of the Scions lend moral support.

    Alphinaud Leveilleur is rarely sick, until he is. Surely, though, he will recover quickly. Surely.
