What's a video game character that was right about everything?
>>730634684(Me)
>>730634684What was Hermes right about? He kind of went on an autistic fit.
>>730634815He didn't cope and delude himself about the nature and meaning of existence, unlike everyone else who became aware of it.
>>730634815he was right that the ancients were being careless retards about life and death and were on the path to extinction.
>>730634815The Ancients had lost touch with the meaning of life and death. They were going to end up with the Nibirun if nothing changed.
This one gonna slide off the board with less than 10 posts too? How many is that today?
>>730634684His face when he realized he memory wiped everyone for nothing was pretty funny.
>>730636280His memory wipe was successful though. He got exactly what he wanted.
>>730636280he looks like a faggot though.
>>730636317No he saw you escaping and knew he fucked up.
Boy I sure do love when the 3rd fight in a raid tier just hard walls half the playerbase because of a DPS check.
>>730634684Not Hermes for sure. He raised a good question, I'll give him that, but the answer he came up was a justification of something he wanted to be, not the actual answer. For all the multiversal genocide that happened because of Venat's answer to his question was, it ended up as the satisfying one, if Meteion's reaction is any indication.
>>730634684He was literally right. Pled for decades to a populace continually accepting of a pleasant malaise that would end like the Ra La, decided he had to look elsewhere for an answer, found the future that he feared for his people, and used that as an impetus to create a pressure cooker that would hopefully make people rise up and fight for the meaning of life. If Hermes didn't do what he did, the Ancients would have fallen into a passivity like the Ra La and died off. Hermes is based and everyone who dislikes him is a pussy ass bitch AND against based Ishikawa who said Hermes is her favorite character.
>>730636913I do think his intent to "test" the ancients is a bit nonsensical given that he wiped their memories.If he didn't wipe their memories they could have meaningfully attempted to stop Meteion and maybe learned to value their existence more along the way, but with them completely unaware they were pretty much blindsided and by the time their planet started showing symptoms it was already far too late to even begin to understand what was actually happening.
>>730634815HERMES WAS RIGHT ABOUT>the ancients being a thoroughly delusional godhood cult that should not have mastery over life and death>the ancients simultaneously being completely delusional about death to the point of refusing to call it "dying" when they destroy a living creature>the ancients don't have the fortitude to endure any kind of society-level hardship>the ancients are emotionally retarded and dull>even more bureaucracy will not solve their societal illness>mankind did need a kick in the ass to avoid becoming the nibirons and creating their own ra la to kill themselves because of cultural impasseHERMES WAS NOT RIGHT ABOUT>floating a silly, broad, and naive question out into the cosmos via meteion>meteion could have been better thought out>didn't take emet-selch into a corner of elpis and shoot him, saving everybody a lot of time and trouble
>>730637161It was a dramatic plot point for sure, but it was written to make the story make sense retroactively since they never know what the fuck they're doing expansion to expansion. All things considered I'm glad it's just more or less cogent and stuck the landing. But the argument could be that he needed to wipe their minds so the fight for a reason for living would be "pure." Also, Venat fucking remembered the whole thing and if I remember correctly, didn't say much because she felt like people wouldn't believe her or would just choose to keep sacrificing to Zodiark?
>>730637161>I do think his intent to "test" the ancients is a bit nonsensical given that he wiped their memories.Prior knowledge could influence the results. He wanted to prove they would win and leave absolutely no room for doubt.
>>730637416No knowledge is just as much of an influence on the final results.>I'm gonna test how well you dodge a bullet. But I'll silently break into your house when you're sleeping and shoot you. Oh well, you failed.
>>730636526>melee shitters are still crying
>>730637416I was gonna make the exact same analogy as >>730637573 fuuuckkk
>>730634684hermes was wrong about literally everything.
How’s your prog coming along?
>>730637835I'm still on M10Nobody understands water/firesnaking
>>730638053It gets even worse in M11, please look forward to it.
i wonder why they do free logins in every patch, because it gives you a reason to not sub with the type of content they deliver, 4 days are enough for>MSQ-Dungeon-Trial and Arcadion on the first day>Deep Dungeon they added after the last free login, second day, at least enough for the story>Some relic progression on third day>Fourth day more of the last two?If you don't raid, you barely need a sub, maybe one at the start of the expansion and other at the end.
Kinos Volcel Galvus of course
The savage M12 theme is so good. We were robbed by that shitty ass song. Rage Against the Machine is genuinely so shit dude, and so is Morello
>>730637835Stalled on M11, didn't push hard enough earlier in the week and all the people who could clear it, already did so now I'm stuck with the "sub 3% only" enragers.
>>730634684pic unrelatedherpes fucked up
>>730637182>didn't take emet-selch into a corner of elpis and shoot him, saving everybody a lot of time and troubleBut Emet actually didn't do anything wrong?
>>730638874Devs only care about savage, Dawntrail should have proven that by now.
>>730639794pfft
>>730634684he was right about some things but not everything. hermes was fucking retarded.
>>730634684>NOOOO NOT MY GIANT FLAMING DRAGON PITBULLS HOW COULD YOU NOT RESPECT THEIR HECKIN LIVERINOOOOOS
>>730642184They shouldn't have been made in the first place. They were created incorrectly and caused suffering only to end up suffering themselves. He was right.
>>730642305Its been a hot fuckin minute since i played through Elpis, but I seem to remember thinking at the time that the quest where goodboy Hythlodaeus makes you explode some butterflies to make clothing did a lot better job of getting the player to understand the weird viewpoint the Amaurotines had when it came to life and death.
>>730634684>What's a video game character that was right about everything?
This one will probably get culled by jannies also
>>730640972Are your actions really retarded if the end result is that they stop your species (or some continuation of it, anyways) from consigning themselves to oblivion?
>Muh Nibirun>Muh Ra LaBetter go out like them than being sundered. Endwalker's philosophy is shit.
>>730635994FF14 threads are like a beaten dog at this point. Between the moody jannies who will delete them on a whim even when they're actually good, to the army of autists who obsess over ruining them as much as humanly possible, its not a surprise a lot of people don't even try anymore.>>730642803>GOOD IDEA: Testing your own kind to see if they can change>BAD IDEA: Getting your bird daughter to wipe out all life in the universe in the process
>>730642901>NOOOOO LIFE ISN'T WORTH LIVING WITHOUT MY TENDIES
>>730642940Where do you think we are, retard? You better be some of these "weak men, hard times" retards hoping for societal collapse to wipe this site from existence because that's the only way you'd be logically consistent. I guess starving kids in Africa are really the best out of our entire species, I guess.
>>730643091Not only this site, mind you, but the entire internet along with the very concept of MMOs, because by any metric that shit is cushy. My point is, if you wanna WALK and think others should WALK, then look no further than Kaczynski.
>>730638874oh there's a free login campaign going on? gonna wait until I can redeem mine around the time of the next valentione eventto try and answer your question, presumably it's just a loss leader to try and retain attention from people that wouldn't otherwise sub, and that said added retention would cause people to become interested enough in the game to resub for a bit. even if it doesn't take that much to complete what you did, there's still a substantial backlog of potential content for people to try out if they haven't done them yet
>>730643091>Where do you think we are, retard?A video games hobbyist board. Video games are subject to the same idea. Fun games are fun because they challenge you. A game without hurdles to overcome isn't a game, it's a sony netflix cinematic experience.
>>730634815Basically, he was the black sheep of their society. His lesson is that you cannot ignore the plight of others, lest they drag you down with them. If a single maniac destroys the world, it's our fault for not creating an environment suitable for everyone and everything.
>>730637161But they DID succeed. The ancients aren't extinct. We are them, and the world still lives. Their solution was to fracture everything, it was never supposed to be a perfect solution. It was meant to be a desperate struggle for survival, to appreciate existence down to the last insignificant animal and wanting to TRULY preserve it with all your heart, not because you're just a hippie high on peace.
RIDING FREE X-TREME OH BABY CAN'T YOU SEE CUT THE LEASH SO I CAN BREATHE NOW IN ME I CAN BELIEVE
>>730643563>What is Minecraft creative mode or the many other games of a similar natureAnd I'm not even gonna mention the many games that heavily lean into wish fulfillment.
>>730643568his lesson was a black sheep shouldn't be able to ruin everything for everybody because their whole species has god-like power, also some stuff about valuing life
>>730637835M12S is going down tomorrow, Idyllic Dream takes a second to get the flow and variables down for since it's a 4m long memory gamePF is going to be filtered HARD by that fight
>>730636913Instead of advancing to live blissful lives before willfully ending their own existence, thuggery just died horrible painful deaths filed with pain and terror.
>>730634684>Humanity is the name for an animal that cannot find joy in life without sacrifice. The pretty lie that is equality is nonsense sprouted by weaklings who cannot look upon the darkness.
>>730642901Also its kinda weak that all the effectively immortal civs we see just faded away due to a case of the Big Sads while the mortal races died to typical shit (war/disease), as if there's anything special about Etheirys' people that would prevent the exact same thing happening to us over a long enough time span.
>>730647114Amaurot almost reached that point and you know what fixed it? HermesAllag almost reached that point and you know who fixed it? HermesHermes is the Planet's immune system. It births him into dead end societies to fuck it all up and save them. And he'll do it again in a hundred years to fix the Garlond-Loporrit-modernslop dystopia.
