The story behind some of the summons in this game are dark. (Also if you think that the monsters summoning FF summons means they won't tackle harsh topics with them then oh man. The empire is no different, men are put to work or killed, women are raped and often kept as slaves, and children are indoctrinated into the empire's propaganda and raised as their own. The game is marketed in a cutesy way but I mean, the game opens up with a harsh world where you get waylaid while traveling and all of ARR is about you gathering the crystals to help defeat the Empire who is essentially a fascist dictatorship that has subjugated many different areas and people under their rule & propaganda just because they believe it's the true path to strength.Īnd while the game does not explicitly say it all that much (the quest you're on is probably the most out there reference to it but it does get referenced a couple other times more subtly), it's not hard to piece together what often happens when one nation goes to war and invades another territory to the people of that territory. And I’m not sure if I want to go back to it. I accidently let my sub renew so I have a month of playtime left. Is this a common thing in the game? Nobody seems to have discussed it much online when I googled it. The scenario wouldn't be different if she came in saying "They stole all the money we were going to spend on food for the next 3 months!" This game does not have the tone to handle such a subject without making it anymore more than flavour dialogue. Imagine this dialogue popped up in Skyrim or a Tales game. I’m tracking down some mysterious masked man by doing odd jobs, which takes me to a refugee camp from a war that occurred before the events of the game where I need to gain their trust with more busywork.Īnd then completely out of nowhere an NPC turns enters the conversation and pretty much says that she was gang raped and one of the youths is going to get revenge. I had spent the last few hours doing fetch quests like “Oh the person you’re looking for might turn up here but first, run these errands for me, like return an earring to my old business acquaintance” Pretty much every fight with another "human" has you just knocking them down or out.Įven FFXV feels more serious in tone than this game. The monsters are trying to summon FF summons like Ifrit. Like many people died in a war but nobody remembers the people that died. So far none of the quests have delved into serious topics with any sense of weight. Following significant changes in 6.I’m on the quest: Big Trouble in Little Ala Mhigo which is a Level 27 main quest early into the game. Summoners cycle through their host of summoned pets to dish out tons of awesome looking abilities and spells. They are one of the only classes in the game where you can level both Jobs at the same time! Summoners focus on Intellect as their primary stat and use a plethora of pets to command in battle. Gameplay: Summoners and Scholars share the same base class, Arcanist. Known simply as summoners, the existence of these men and women and their arcane art have been all but lost to the ages. In times immemorial, there lived mages who had not only the power to summon the primals, but also the means to transmute the primals’ essences, thus binding them to their will. Yet what is a god to one man is a demon to another, for the city-states of Eorzea see these beings as a grave threat to their collective survival. Completion of “ Sylph-management” in the Main Story Quest (MSQ) lineĭescription: The beast tribes of Eorzea worship and summon forth beings known as primals, among which are Ifrit, Garuda, and Titan.
