Securing our base outside Garlemald.

-The game is doing a great job at hammering home how hard the life is that the Imperials carved out here in harsh north without magic.

-Even now, I first accidentally referred to them as "Militesi." Type-0 isn't my favorite FF game, but BOY OH BOY does the Garlean Empire remind me more and more of the Militesi Empire.

-Most of the new expedition gear looks amazing. ESPECIALLY Thancred, whom it suits better than any prior gear set, even the gunbreaker. The only exception for me is G'raha, who seems dwarfed by his big puffy coat.

-Prediction: at some point, all these tempered imperials will bring forth some special Garlean primal. The embodiment of all things Garlemald.

-The initial roleplay I had in mind for my character when I first created her was a Shantotto-esque villain, but this game doesn't really lend itself to that in canon. At best, you can be a jerk or a reluctant hero.

I'm curious - do any of you who enjoy having backgrounds/stories for their character see their Warrior of Light as more sinister?

-Magnai really needs to just focus on himself instead of being so dang thirsty.

-I found it interesting that some of the enemies floating about were "Ceruleum Sprites." Ceruleum is a naturally-occurring fuel, right? This would be like if we found oil elementals. Though I suppose that's not much different than fire elementals or ice elementals.

-I love the presence of these ongoing FATE storylines! The FATE I found here certainly seems like part of a story that will be progressed through other FATEs. Is this a new mechanic to Endwalker or something that's been going on for a while?
