― FFXIV : MAGIC DPS QUESTS.
a collection of starter prompts taken from the magical dps role quests in ffxiv - there may be spoilers for these quests. change pronouns and gender as needed.
do i have the right of it, or do i have the right of it?
why, i’ve got a feeling the two of us will get along just fine.
crawled up from the bowels of the deepest hell after being buried for nigh on a century, if the tales are true.
not a bad offer, wouldn’t you say?
it’s good to see someone who isn’t all talk.
seems i’ve found myself a formidable ally.
don’t worry - i fully intend to shoulder my share of the burden.
i have no intention of rushing in like a fool.
shed no tears for the little fellow, friend.
you must witness the sheer horror with your own two eyes.
just as i expected…gone without a trace.
mind you, take care not to wander too close - lest you fancy a vacation to a dark, shadowy abyss.
i’ve seen many a horrific sight in my day, but this sends a shiver up the spine.
why the pale face, friend? you look as if you’ve seen a ghost.
i couldn’t possibly burden you any further…
the walk might help me, er, take my mind off things.
none so young should suffer such horrors.
don’t worry: it’s my decision, and i intend to take responsibility for it.
f-forgive me… i… i don’t deserve this kindness.
there’s no need to be ashamed about your feelings.
am i doomed to be alone for the rest of my days?
don’t overburden yourself─you’re still recovering, after all.
i can tell you’ve a good heart, and a good head on your shoulders.
i can only begin to imagine the horrors you’ve been through, not to mention the fears and uncertainty you face even now.
i want you to promise me this: no more apologies.
talk about being dealt a rough hand…
i too made a promise to my companions - a promise i mean to keep.
i told you that splitting up was a bad idea.
think yourself clever, do you?
well, aren’t you a big boy…
i promise you this: as long as i walk this earth, i shall never, never give up hope…
in return for your sacrifice, i would make you an offer.
the life of an adventurer isn’t an easy one, but i daresay you strike me as the sort who just might enjoy it.
we’ll travel the realm together and lend our strength to whatever unfortunate souls we encounter along the way.
i will find a way to bring you back to us…
finally, some cause for hope, eh?
i daresay you were starting to get the hang of it there at the end.
such passion and determination…
i will not… i cannot fail.
well, look who’s back - and looking more imposing than ever, i might add.
there is a fear growing inside me… a fear that threatens to consume me.
if i lost you all, how could i ever live with myself again!?
worry not - i will not hold you back, or stand in your way.
and yet, in the end, it was all in vain…
what adventures might we have shared?
i sunk into the depths of despair, and felt myself a wretch for doing so.
by what right do i pity myself, when it was i who consigned you to far more cruel and tragic a fate?
whatever pain, whatever loss i knew is nothing compared to what you suffered - what you still suffer.
even if you despise me with every fiber of your being… even still, i would give anything to see you just one last time…
it would all be worth it, just for the chance to say… i am sorry…
how could i ever hate my best friend?
you have suffered long enough, my friend.
every day, i thank the gods for having brought us together.
now that you’ve made peace with your past, what do you plan to do with your future?
where i once feared the future, now i welcome it.
words cannot well express how heartening it is to have you fighting beside us.
our nation has changed, and continues to do so.
i’d sooner freeze to death than suffer your pity!
for our faith has been everything to us - our purpose and our comfort.
come what may, we dare not squander the chance we have fought so hard to attain.
take a moment’s rest, my friend - you have earned it.
we have languished in darkness, all of us.
you took it all from us! tore down everything that defined us!
you cannot know how it feels to have your very existence rejected!
i deny you and this justice!
i refuse to accept it, do you hear me? i refuse to accept it!
any longer in that storm, and he would have been just another drift of snow.
how can i still be alive when he is not?
i would not wish such a terrible fate upon them.
many have become lost… and are all too vulnerable to despair.
when the ground upon which we stand crumbles, we must find the strength to move forward.
i have been thinking, [ name ]. on the path i have chosen to walk, and on those who have been left behind as a consequence of my actions.
the future i had envisioned… ‘tis far more difficult to secure than i ever imagined.
i am glad for the opportunity to stroll about the city with you.
...forgive me, i was lost in thought yet again.
in our hearts we yearn for the righteousness - misguided though it was - that gave us comfort and purpose for so long.
let us together bear this burden as we set forth anew.
we can acknowledge our sins without renouncing our religion.
for what is faith if not salvation?
my fellows and i shall be there to take their hand in faith and love.
we finish this once and for all!
they too were victims. flawed men, aye, and not without sin…
their hopes and dreams, their sorrow and suffering are mine to bear. and bear them i shall.
my apologies, ’twas not mine intent to wax sentimental.
‘tis no easy thing to rise above a lifetime of preconceptions and prejudice.
you have given us a great gift - that of opportunity and choice.
if i may speak candidly… i must confess to being a great admirer of yours.
