"The rains have ceased, and we have been graced with another beautiful day. But you are not here to see it."

"Remember us. Remember that we lived."

"Though the world be sundered and our souls set adrift, where you walk, my dearest friend, fate shall surely follow."
"Stand tall, my friend."

Y'know, I could probably write a long essay about why Shadowbringers is immaculate. But in the end, I kinda just want to leave this reminder of my time with it instead. I know everyone always posts these kinds of quote-reviews for Backloggd, but know that I do this as tribute to how much I treasure this entire game - Shadowbringers most of all.

Take this message instead, if all the countless others posted on this site (and many more) have somehow eluded you - if you have the time to sink in, I implore you to play Final Fantasy 14. It's real long, real fun, real heartbreakingly-compelling, and real good.

(There were at least three more quotes from 5.3 alone I could've used)

Familiar become Unfamiliar. Something was there, now it isn't, something wasn't there, now it is. Change and decay seep into the walls til they begin to crack, til something unchangeable happens to the home. What was once a safe haven becomes a nightmare of the unreal, an inescapable perversion of your own personal life.
Perhaps it was a traumatic event caused by family. Perhaps it was merely an overactive imagination. Or, perhaps it is the house itself that hungers for your pain. The source is unknowable.
All that you could ever know is that piece by piece, the beast is tearing into your memories, devouring all you ever knew, and it cannot be undone.
