![]() ![]() We already had a ton of examples about Voidsent screwing up things for the worse even if one's WoL has not picked up THM/BLM/SCH/RDM - Crystal Tower Shadows of Mhach two of the Amdapori dungeons Palace of the Dead and even some few side quests here and there - and yet for some reason RPR is the only exception to all of that despite the grandfather being a living example of a contract gone wrong. The WoL is shown to be pretty hesitant contracting a Voidsent by a Garlean no less and yet that gets glossed over and chucked aside immediately once you unlock the job, though I also feel like that's the fault of the amount of Job Quests not being able to flesh out the narrative, which is also why SGE gets its more interesting plotline demoted to diary entries. Taking the setting seriously doesn't mean that something like Reapers shouldn't be allowed to exist, but that they should be explained to a greater extent than they are. But in past cases of the lore potentially getting in the way of something, there would at least be an explanation offered. ![]() I think Yoshida's fully correct in his philosophy that the lore shouldn't hold back writers and designers from making the cool shit they want to make. I think it's fine that reapers exist and that they can be possessed. They know how others have tried and failed. There's no serious effort made to explain why the WoL is suddenly fine with working alongside a voidsent, let alone letting it possess their body. While it's been sidelined since Stormblood to an extent, it was up there with Ascians and the Garlean Empire in terms of overall plot & setting relevance. It comes up in the MSQ, in class/job quests, in side quests, dungeons, the first Deep Dungeon, the first two alliance raids, etc. Please read the Big Post for more information.Īlso because of the nature of this sub, spoilers might happen, be prepared.Įarlier in the game's life, one of the major, recurring plot points was the void, how those on the Source tried to make use of it to their benefit, and how that always came off the worse for it in the end - usually doing a great deal of harm in the process. ![]() Exceptions may be considered in cases of extreme controversy.
