#lem text #xivposting #ITS ABOUT THE.THE FLOW. THE PACING. HOW THE EMOTIONAL WEIGHT OF THE INCITING INCIDENT NEVER LOSES MOMENTUM #ew focuses on the final days but you jump around to so many places that are far away from each other and have suchj different situations #and that kind of progression is similar to how the expansions work too #but THE ENTIRE. PREMISE. SETS UP SHB TO PROGRESS IN A WAY WHERE EVERYTHING SEEMS RELEVANT AND ENHANCES GHE MAIN POINT #AND AND SND. i’m too scatterbrained to word it hfnksjzfk YOU KNOW..!!.!/!!!! #ITS LITERALLY ALL ABOUT THE SETUP. FROM THE CRYSTAL TOWER SIDEQUESTS TO THE WARRIORS OF DARKNESS PLOTLINE IN POST-HW #TO WHEN ALL OF YOUR FRIENDS START COLLAPSING AND YOU FIND OUT THEY’RE BEING SUMMONED TO SOME UNKNOWN WORLD. #****AND THAT PART!!!!!**** IS ESSENTIAL BECAUSE. THE FACT THATJ THE SCIONS SPEND YEARS ON THE FIRST. GIVES **THEM** ALL SPECIFIC REASONS TO- #CARE ABOUT THE PEOPLE. AND THE EVENTS. AND THE PLACES. WHICH IN TURN GIVES *YOU* THE SAME REASONS FOR INVESTMENT. AKNFHDKFJ #because OK. you meet alphi and he tells you about how much of himself he sees in eulmore. how to him it is a mirror of his past failings #and so you care about ITS development because you care about HIM and then it does the same witg ALI.SAIE #who cares so sosososo deeply about the people in the inn at journey’s head and how they’ve been affected by the flood #the scions all feel a connection to the first for a unique reason. introducing you to each bit of the worldbuilding alongside them #AND THAT PATTERN. IS SO MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE THAN IF EVERYONE WAS NEW TO THE EVENTS. INSTEAD YOU ARE LED TO CARE THROUGH THEIR FAMILIARITY……. #efkdjzn ​i could word this better on a better day. it’s the setup it’s the setup…….. ahgkdnjf 💛💛💛
