We all love thinking about G'raha Tia as our cute shy catboi that does the ear wiggles and playing with his wrists. It's hitting me now, how much of shake up it would be for him. He left behind everything he knew for the last one hundred years, he was the leader of the Crystarium longer than he lived on the Source.

Of course he'd be timid and a completely different person when he returns home, for him it's like moving to a new city on the other side of the world. He's lucky to even have two people be his emergency contacts. It's such a huge change. He has the Scions, which he wasn't sure if they'd accept him, everything else is unfamiliar to him.

It has never felt like Crystal Exarch and G'raha were two different people to me. The scene of him guiding people to safety at Rahz-at-Han proves that side of him is still there, he knows how to lead people. G'raha is exactly what would happen if someone was given a second chance at life.

I cherish him sloppily munching on a burger. I enjoy him fanboying over Estinien from his stories. I cherish him getting to adventure with his heroes. He's living the best out of his new life, and getting the most out of everything he's experiencing. It makes me wanna sob.

The Job Actions are so extreme, I love breakdancing with my four drones. 😂😂 It's the best feeling to skidding along in a dungeon while casting Eukrasia.

Props to ever thought giving the WoL four funnels onto their back, and calling it a healer job! Perfect aesthetic. Not mismatched at all LOL. Love the creativity of it.

The wings are such a cute design. 🥰

They're just like an old married couple, but Cid would never admit it. XD

The quest chain starts with you finding a half dead namazu, and instead of helping... the Warrior of Light prays for Gyoshin to not suffer long, and moves on with their merry adventure.

Turns out Gyoshin was still alive, so you stuff him into a sack and carry them back to Yuzuka Manor. 🤣🤣🤣

I have mixed feelings about them taking characterization away from you, the WoL is so rude to their fishie friends. The dialogue options are all one trying to leave. But I'm enjoying the slapstick of making the namazu be the narrative punching bags.

Also do not tell me to clean my bag! RUDE!!!😂😂😂

They legit went from

Dragon Ball Z:

to

Kamen Rider:

This shocked expression is so good. XD

Lyse brought no money with her. Tali recently spent all her gil on a direwolf mount. XD

Neither of us are very responsible right now.

I'm very biased for the Ixali Tribe Quests in ARR. I'm a tinkerer and engineer IRL, so it's extra special to watch the Ixali accomplish their dreams of being able to fly again.

There a small tribe neglected by Eorzea, yet have the biggest dreams. I felt as inspired as Tataramu was, watching them struggle through bureaucracy, nobility, and watching them bounce ideas back and forth. Finally seeing their airship lifting off the ground is such a rewarding moment. And having Tataramu's father there too, finally understanding why the tribe matters so much to his son. It was a beautiful moment.

That's how you know your OC fits perfectly into another world. XD

People say that Heavensward was when the quality of the game got a bump, but I'm feeling it more with Stormblood. Back to back voiced cutscenes in the first two scenes?!?!?!?!?!?!?

I know I'll likely be wrong by Stormblood, but "Twisted Steel Ramparts which now mar our once majestic mountains" gives me Code Geass vibes
