A Guide to Lalli's Adventures

公開
Hi again! After over a year of playing and writing and wrestling with uncooperative machines (my new PC is now up and running!), I've finally made it to the threshold of my favorite expansion, Heavensward.

I plan on chronicling my playthrough on this blog just like I did for A Realm Reborn, although I won't be going back to the journal format, which I found a little stifling after a while (and I think I've kind of exhausted the letter format at this point). Suggestions welcome!

The purpose of this entry, however, is mostly to provide a guide to navigate the content I've posted so far. I'm starting to have a lot of entries on here, and I wouldn't want a hypothetical new reader to be put off and confused.

Unsuprisingly for those of you who know I'm a librarian IRL, I've actually been using links and tags since the very beginning to organize Lalli's adventures into something easier to move through. Here's how to use them to their full potential.

I wanna read this shiz. Where do I start?

Every in-character entry I've posted on this blog has the Roleplay tag.

To read them in chronological order, simply follow that link and click the "last" arrow to get to the beginning.

That's a lot of words. Do I need to read all that?

Nahh. Since I follow the main story of the game relatively closely, it's not necessary to read my past entries to get the gist of the current ones.

In the entries themselves, I usually just link to past entries whenever a character or past event is directly referenced - just click those whenever you feel in need of a glass of context.

Nonetheless, if anyone wishes to catch up, here's a list of what I consider key entries:

-The Physalis (Lalli's Background)
-Finding Answers (Meeting the Scions)
-Taking the White (Becoming a WHM)
-Straying from the Path (GLD acquired)
-Who Mourns the Fallen? (Attack on the Waking Sands)
-News from Home (Lalli's birth story)
-What Happens in the Shadows (ROG acquired)
-The Seventh Dawn part I and part II (end of ARR)
-Lalli's Letters - To E-Sumi-Yan (THM acquired)

And here's a top 5 of my favorite entries, just for fun:

1. The Void Dialogues
2. Lalli's Letters: To Jospaire
3. Wisp in the Bloodsands
4. Two Unicorns
5. The Longest Night

What's up with all those tags?

I use thematic tags to categorize my entries - mostly to make things easier for myself when I write (continuity is hard when you forget what you've said before).

Clicking any of those tags will bring you to a list of all the entries that bear it. Inexplicably curious about a specific aspect of Lalli's little life? Knock yourself out (lists hidden cause they take too much space for my taste).

Characters

クリックして表示クリックして隠す
Akoman
Lalli's ahriman mount and pet voidsent.

Alphinaud
One of Louisoix's grandkids; would have loved Model UN in high school.

Amalthea
Lalli's unicorn friend who seems to hang out mostly around Coerthas. Who is she really?

Cid
Airship pilot, gifted engineer, and close friend of Lalli's.

Edda
A fellow conjurer encountered early on with her party.

Haurchefant
Good friend, staunch ally, absolute cinnamon roll.

Antecedent of the Scions, giver of quests, has stocks in linkshells.

Minions
Entries where one of Lalli's minions plays a prominent role.

Retainers
Lalli has two retainers, Painted Mesa and Jospaire, who are also his close friends. They were both modeled after NPCs encountered early in the game (for added immersion).

Scions
Entries where the Scions of the Seventh Dawn are important as a group.

Sylphie
Appears in the conjurer questline and becomes a friend/little sister figure for Lalli.

Sylphs
Lalli has a good relationship with the sylph beast tribe, so they come up once in a while.

Thancred
Official pretty boy of the Scions.

Yda & Papalymo
A dastardly duo of Scions that Lalli met in Gridania.

Y'shtola

Conjurer
Lalli's starting class.

Black Mage
A serious wrench thrown in Lalli's beliefs about his destiny and himself.

Gladiator

Paladin
Cause Lalli looked hella good in a suit of armor.

Rogue
A class Lalli picked up when the Garleans were after his ass.

Ninja
The logical progression of the above.

Thaumaturge
The class that led Lalli to be unfriended by the whole conjurer guild.

White Mage
Lalli's destined job... or so we thought.


Other

Backstory
Entries about Lalli's personal life and past.

Contemplation
Zen entries which focus on reflecting on life and the world.

Dungeon
Entries revolving around dungeons/raids.

Echo
Entries where the Echo rears its poorly-explained head.

Lore
Entries in which Lalli learns important details of the game's universe and history. So far, it's mostly been the War of the Magi.

Primal
Entries in which a fight against a primal is mentioned.

Seasonal Event
Entries which take place during one of the game's seasonal events.


This concludes our guide. I have no clue if it's going to be helpful to anyone really, but I kind of wanted to do something to celebrate entering Heavensward anyway. That, and showcase the tag system, because well... I like it! It would be great though if tags worked on the Lodestone like they do on social media, to enable you to find similar posts from different blogs. I would immediately binge the Haurchefant tag.

See you soon for the next part of Lalli's story!

Hey, someone is copying me! Though I waited till I had quite a bit of blogs before I bothered to make a guide. LOL

I counted them all. Good lord, you got over 50 entries! Way to go!

As for the letter format, I personally like to do it because it is MUCH easier than writing it in normal story mode, AND you don't have to bother with much description, cause who put descriptions in their letters? ;-)

Lalli Physalis

Sargatanas [Aether]

Well you know what they say Anna, imitation is the highest form of flattery xD

I did like the letter format, but I find it's limiting a bit sometimes too! Like in my last letter for instance, I would have liked to talk about the Cloud of Darkness more but Lalli wouldn't tell that stuff to his parents so I couldn't. Maybe it would work if I picked one single recipient though, hm...
