Every day I wish the succession stuff had been the whole expansion

Alexandria is Fine and I love Arcadion but I wanted so much more from Tuliyolal

Lowell is a good fighter, but they have and will continue to make mistakes that cost them

Their ability to overcome the odds has never been about their strength, but whether their desperation to protect the people standing behind them is strong enough to make them get up again

Also you get to play Shadowbringers after

The 4.X series is my favorite stretch of patch content for a lot of reasons

-Introduced playing as NPCs in solo duties

- 4.3's conclusion of Yotsuyu's arc is one of the stronger parts of the 2.0-6.0 MSQ

- Magnai getting owned is the funniest running gag in the game

- Estinien is there

- talk to more people about my OCs
- actually find people to RP with so these characters exist somewhere besides just in my head and on text documents
- Write more melancholic fanfiction about my OCs

A benefit of having a full party's worth of OCs is that there's room for them to be fallible

One of Lowell's defining beats is that they *lose* the field duel against Lyon unexpectedly and get critically injured to the point where the others have to step into their role for the rest of Bozja

This is why I can never brave level cap roulette anymore

It might be fine but it also might be an ARR dungeon I legitimately don't remember a single thing about because I never actually did it and forgot that I unlocked it
