Endwalked!
Thoughts on Hali’s EW Journey
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hali has officially finished her Endwalker journey! 6.0 is done and the 6.X patches and all the EW side content await! I have many thoughts about this, and it felt so different playing it through on Hali vs Yume, so I have an overwhelming urge to tell you all how it went!
Because I will be long winded I’m sure, plus the many spoilers, it will be under the cut.
First of all, I felt from the very beginning of the expansion that this felt like this was Hali’s story, and finishing 6.0 solidified for me that Hali was meant to be my main WoL and Hali’s Unsundered was Azem.
Why is that? Well, I had played through the entire MSQ on Yume before I even created Hali, and I can tell you that though I personally was emotionally invested in the EW story before, it still didn’t feel like it really fit Yume that much. She was not as connected to the events as Hali is, and in several ways. Yume is still way more connected to SB and ShB, as she is the one who takes on the light from the lightwardens and has permanent changes to her body and aether as a result of the light corruption, not to mention her connection to G’raha and all.
Hali, on the other hand, is absolutely the spotlight WoL of HW and EW. For HW, it’s her finally facing the fact that those she cares about can get hurt and even die, and sometimes there’s nothing she can do about it, ie: Haurchefant and Ysayle. Secondly, HW is when her story with Aymeric largely happens, of course.
For EW, it feels especially personal for Hali for a number of reasons. First, she goes back to her home of Old Sharlayan and Labyrinthos for the first time since she left home without a word to her parents. She sneaks into Sharlayan under an alias and wears a disguise, but she is still caught in Labyrinthos and must face her parents and the Forum for her being a fugitive. Hali is confronted with the knowledge that her parents were both directly involved in the plot to escape from the Final Days, which Hali has a hard time with. She is very angry that her parents kept the secret from her for her whole life, and she is also upset at them for trying to convince her to leave with them instead of staying and fighting for everyone. For Hali, EW is when Hali must face her past, and try to reconcile with her parents in order to save the star and make a brighter future for all.
Another element that is personal to Hali is her connection with Fandaniel, specifically her past life as Azem when she and Hermes were once in a romantic and sexual relationship. Though these two souls were once in love, they were torn apart and went on completely different paths. While Hali doesn’t have any romantic or sexual interest in Fandaniel or Hermes, she does get a deja vu feeling when she is around them, which she believes might be her soul recognizing his soul from their past lives. She feels sorry for how deeply in despair Fandaniel/Amon/Hermes was, and she wishes that she could have helped him, but in the end, she gives him hope that he can find the answers in his next life.
I also found that Hali is much more connected to dynamis than Yume is, especially when in her canon, Hali almost turns into a blasphemy herself after her confession of love to Aymeric and feeling an overwhelming panic take over her with Aymeric’s reaction. Hali feels her emotions very deeply and wears her heart on her sleeve, so her journey of discovering what dynamis is and then using it to keep the light of hope alive in Ultima Thule, and in her battle with the Endsinger, it all just felt so satisfying to play through. Not just her being a Warrior of Light, but Hali as a person went on this incredible journey of self discovery from her leaving Sharlayan and coming to Eorzea in ARR, to saving the star and finding happiness with the man she loves in EW.
Endwalker overall was incredibly enjoyable on Hali’s playthrough, but the one thing that rubbed me the wrong way was the last solo duty when the WoL fights Zenos. When I went through it on Yume, it felt so unnecessary, but it did not feel too jarring because of who Yume is, and she would understand Zenos. Hali, on the other hand, would not.
Why is that? Well, Hali is not a warrior like Yume is, as she’s first and foremost a healer. Yes she has some really powerful offensive spells and abilities that she can use to hold her own in battle, but it’s not her main focus nor her goal. She’s of the mindset that she’s there to ensure that everyone comes back alive, and she would not want to fight Zenos. In fact, she’d more likely try to bring him back with her and then let him go, because she not only would not want to fight Zenos and 1) kill him, 2) give him the satisfaction of a fight because why would she reward him after everything he’s done, and 3) she’s not going to put herself in danger once the Endsinger is dealt with. Hali is coming home to Aymeric in one piece damn it, and she just would not fight Zenos and take that chance of not keeping her promise. So yeah, overall I just hated the last solo duty on Hali’s playthrough.
I think that’s all the blabbing I’ll do for now. I just wanted to say that I’m glad that I got to experience EW all over again and on a character that really felt personal to me and who really was meant to go through that journey. If you made it this far, thank you so much for reading!! 💖

Tales of loss and fire and faith
Every word on our hearts engraved
In the dark you will not stray
Forge ahead, till the end, we pray
I know it’s a bit early but I just couldn’t wait anymore. Endwalkers was by far my favorite gaming experience so far and expansion. It holds so many good memories from staying up at launch, traveling to Elpis, and eating mac and cheese during Endsinger. The message of hope helped me through some very dark times and I can’t thank it enough.
Happy Anniversary Endwalkers.

FFXIV Write 2023
I'm participating in it! But I only just now thought to repost onto Tumblr. All of them either already were or are planned to be posted on AO3, so no, these aren't late submissions, they're just me showing an extra 14 people I write.
Without further ado, though, let's get on with
Day One Prompt: Envoy
Series and Work on AO3
Trigger Warnings: None! Characters: Kahldeen (the guy who augments EW tomestone gear) Relationships: None Overall Rating: G (General, anyone can read) Other Notes: Base Endwalker Spoilers
Lunar Polishing
Rubbing, rubbing, rubbing. Rubbing was all there was going to be for this bracelet for at least the next hour. The cloth might change, every once in a while, maybe a break to reapply the Moonshine Shine, but for now, Kahldeen was polishing this Lunar Envoy’s Bracelet until he could call it good enough to give to the Warrior of Light.
The Warrior of Light, the lady who saved the world, Radz-at-Han, and by extension, his simple yet rewarding livelihood. And now she’s asking him to polish her jewelry.
She had offered payment, as if she wasn’t providing all the materials needed, as if she didn’t save his world. Kahldeen declined, the single strongest protector of the world being able to do her job that much more effectively is payment enough.
Buffing, buffing, buffing. Who’s being called satrap of Radz-at-Han might've changed drastically, but the feeling of metals and gems under the cloth did not. What was it like, as a dragon, taking care of a city-state for hundreds of years, only having one civilian at a time so much as acknowledge your presence? What was it like to, time after time, outlive your only friend?
Kahldeen wouldn’t ever know, he guessed. Kahldeen guessed it wouldn’t ever matter to him. All that mattered, right at this moment, was to polish this bracelet to the brightest, most aether conductive shine for the most important client he’ll ever get.

Garlean restoration but it's Deidre their fucking Boogeyman Nightmare, and the Cruel Monster who Ruined Their Empire who lurks in her shadow (Zenos).
Like.
The morale of that is not good looking. That is the Worst combination of people you could choose to help with a relief effort and no she can't leave Zenos at home. Imagine going to the soup kitchen but they built a giant metal wall where you used to be able to see into the kitchen and you decide to poke in to thank the workers
And it's the Warrior of Light who has killed entire armies of your people, and the guy responsible for allowing the Eldritch Terror that your country became in the past few moons to occur. And they're making soup.
