Yes.

On the bright side if I can claw my way out of the prologue the rest of the game should be better.

[OrpheusJoshua 126]

Prologue is the worst

[Aqua_Wren 11]

On the bright side, one shining pom down.

And hey I'll have a decent pile of Sepith.

[King Arthur13 51]

Okay the twist that

the Ascians orchestrated the construction of the garlien empire is super clever

 

Stormblood spoilers btw

I’m only 7 quests away from finishing stormblood

Ooooo I can’t wait

[Aqua_Wren 11]

Nice nice.

 

Suddenly their self defeating policies make sense huh.

 

[King Arthur13 51]

A journey one year in the making

But I made it

Yeah lol

I suspected it was simply

Ascian manipulation, but I never expected the ascians themselves invented the nation

 

[Aqua_Wren 11]

So, fun thing that only ever gets implied later but can probably be gleaned from this:

The Ascians probably also both built and destroyed the Allagan Empire as well.

 

[King Arthur13 51]

It does make sense

[Aqua_Wren 11]

Although you may want to do the Omega raid at some point, it has some dragon lore and some Allag lore as well.

[King Arthur13 51]

Is it best completed before shadowbringers.

Or is it okay to do it while I go through t

[Aqua_Wren 11]

Eh, not really. Only thing I'd say do before ShB is Crystal Tower.

[Liftea 12]

the only questline you should complete before shadowbringers is the crystal tower one

[Aqua_Wren 11]

Otherwise you can do it whenever.

[King Arthur13 51]

Yup that’s done

What’s the trials for stormblood btw i can’t find them

[Aqua_Wren 11]

Although there's something to be said for doing Omega and Alexander before one of the post ShB dungeons.

Uhhh there's a trial series that starts I wanna say in the ruby sea or the East Aldernard trading companies HQ.

Entirely optional.

Also the wandering minstrel is in Kugane.

For extremes.

[King Arthur13 51]

Okay then

I’m glad they moved the minstrel to kugane

Avoids flip flopping between areas

[Aqua_Wren 11]

Well, less moved and more he's in both places but yeah.

[Icecl Keyheart 13]

Crystal Towers going to be mandatory come 5.3 anyway

[King Arthur13 51]

how so?

they are going to lock the story behind it?

[Icecl Keyheart 13]

I'm not exactly sure how they're going to or when they're going to tell you to do it but

They said it's going to be mandatory I assume that's good progress because it's going to connect pretty heavily more than it already has

[OrpheusJoshua 126]

yeah you need it for shadowbringers tbh

[King Arthur13 51]

honestly if someone has been going through the story and made it to shadowbringers without playing crystal tower, i would be like "how tho"

[OrpheusJoshua 126]

if i wasn't playing with wren, that'd be me

i was legit just rushing through story

[King Arthur13 51]

how fast did you beat the whole story if i might ask

[OrpheusJoshua 126]

like a month
