#Trial by Ordeal

[j-august]

'Things are different here, sir,' said Carrot. 'It wasn't until ten years ago that they replaced trial by ordeal with trial by lawyer, and that was only because they found that lawyers were nastier.'

Terry Pratchett, The Fifth Elephant

There’s something incredibly.... charming(???) about two knights arguing over whose queen is most beautiful, and deciding to determine which is more beautiful through beating the shit out of each other? “My queen [whom you have never seen before] is more beautiful than your queen [whom I have never seen before], and we can definitively prove whether this statement is objectively true or false by dueling each other and seeing who wins”

find myself thinking about the emblem paralogues and like. really cute throwbacks to iconic chapters of FE history and all but when in the narrative are these supposed to happen and also like. man these are meant to be bond deepening faux skirmishes but if you're playing with permadeath on. woof if someone dies. and some of these are a bitch of a fight too I am looking at you Leif.

personally I think post chapter 20 pre chapter 21 is a good spot to like. narratively chunk them all in. something something alear wants to prove themselves something something pilgrimage spent further establishing and deepening divine right or whatever

#katie rambles #like its kinda wild man 'let me put you through one of my grimmest fights of my game to prove we're besties <3' #some of these emblems are unhinged. #like they're not all hard but i'm looking at like. leif and micaiah and ike. at eirika. #who have fights that are in eirika's case the final map iirc?? #or the other three who imply it was a really grueling ordeal of a fight #im not too familiar with their games so i cant confirm but like #its kind of. weird to think about #and the kind of tough love imparted in I Won't Hold Back #also post chapter 20 being most of them. save marth. i think is a good choice in terms of narrative plopping #because again it feels like alear. challenging the info they recieved. proving their worth as DD #proving themselves before they face marth again. i let you down but i am ready now. wiser than i was. #like i enjoy the idea of retellings of the story later on in divine canon as a ordeal of tests meant to pick alear up from that low moment #and yet they dont need to prove themselves to marth. who always believed in them. #(they do marth has a paralogue but shhhhhhhh) #ANYWYAS justt. thinking about emblems and trials and really weirdly intense mock battles in narrative context

Btw I finished everything from 6.5 finally and my take is

#this might be my favorite patch btw i just wanted to talk abt lyna for a bit bc I ADORE HER and it makes me happie that she was there #I REALLY LIKE MSQ I adore the parallels with ffiv and as SOON as i saw zero staring back at her reflection I WAS LIKE #SO SHE IS GOING TO BE CECIL #LIKE IN MOUNT ORDEALS !!! YEAH !!! so i was the entity of msq going “shes going to transform into a paladin AAANY minute now” #SHE DID !! and that is my fav trial from these last patches btw I adore rubicant but yeah 🫡 zeromus won 🫡 #it was just. so cool. i adore the mechanics so much and it felt right the moment and everything #it isn't my fav moment in the msq now but it's a satisfying one and they really brought some shb moments to remins us of the good stuff^tm #but with so many good raids going one the msq seems A BIT lackey but just bc the raid series are WAY TOO GOOD #something something i almost had an anxiety attack when the twelve were leaving TRULY i was destroyed #but them deryk did THAT FACE ^TM and I was BAWLING MY EYES #this guy means so much to me. insane. so much ao i genuinely changed my girl's patron deity and its him now CANNONICALY #his is by far my favorite fight from the twelve. it wasn't hard per see but i was dying with laughter how i was being thrown from one side #to another. I'm not even kidding me and still STILL it's a fave. I'm going to play that again now excuse me #but yeah it was so good. i really really like this alliance raid series so much deryk is so dear to me the way the dialogue went #with him talking abt the twelve like his ancient friends i cried so hard 👍 that ending ruined me so bad u guys 👍 #yeah the msq was good but they are popping OFF with the raid series #maybe myths isnt my fave just bc pandae is right there and I swear nothing tops that for me but MAN.... HEAD IN HANDS. #i love them. I love what the devs are doing with expressions lately and i love the amout of times the wol is smiling #just... something something it seems fitting for what they want for the next expansion #yeah I'm insane abt the fact we will not have mom and evil dad anymore and the ancients and i get panicked thinking the twelve arent there #anymore and OF COURSE I miss drama a lot but it does seem somewhat fitting. the way that doing all that it still #straights the scion's relationship more and how we will keep the group together despite everything changing #idk idk i hate change and i adore what we had in the prev expansion to no and and yeah i feel like it isn't perfect like before NOW but its #like. still so good and so true to what ffxiv likes to preach and etc etc. i don't expect an shb or ew exp for 7.0 but still. EXCITING. #this rambling came out of NOWHERE BUT YEAH Anyway if u excuse me now. shb new game+ play time #kelly says #6.5 spoilers #edit: there are SOOOO many errors in these tags. sorry i got to excited. i just saw fray and had to close tumblr immediately to talk to him.
