FFXIV Endwalker - Part 81: Aether to Aether [Unspoiled]
0Wrapping up this batch of side quests. Lykaones on the rampage.
"Let's not be so melodramatic! What was born of aether is simply being reduced to its original state."
-Doros

-The whole "do a nice, big stretch!" thing reminds me of how I talk to small animals. XD
-So yes, the Lethe is the river of forgetfulness in mythology, but why did I think the Styx ALSO was that? Is the Styx also a river of forgetfulness? Or some other magic interaction if you touch it?
-Anyone else find the water creature at 9:17 somehow super unsettling and ghostly with its humanoid top?
-I frigging love the goobue's laurel crown and bracelets.
-The "Second Guest" quest was probably just a play on "Second Best," but its name also reminded me of a horror puzzle game I was utterly obsessed with in middle school, "The Seventh Guest." Strongly recommend checking it out if you want really challenging, atmospheric horror puzzles, though it can be super frustrating.
-Were we supposed to infer any specific name from the "We'll Meet Again" quest? (See 23:45)
-I mentioned in this video that all the people choosing to "return to the star" belied Emet-Selch's prior claim that people lived nigh on forever, but I changed my mind in hindsight. I think it's better to interpret Emet's claim more that people COULD live forever. That they only returned to the star when they chose.
-I'm really curious what the ancients Etheiryians believed about the afterlife. There's potential evidence that they believe in a "spend time forever with your loved ones in heaven" type of afterlife, but they could also mean it in a vaguer sense of "we'll all be part of a great unified consciousness and peacefulness."
-Idk if it will or not, but a system in the MSQ to erase memories seems like EXACTLY the sort of thing to play a major role at some point.
-I super love Hermes' insistence on viewing the creations as living beings worthy of respect, not simply beings to be dispassionately discarded. I also fear this is going to come back to bite him sooner rather than later.
