i was enjoying the tataru's grand endeavor story until the gaius chapter LOL i mean i knew it was going to be bad when i saw gaius but yeah. spoilers under cut
whoever wrote werlyt/this part of tataru's quest is doing insane PR for gaius that it is groanworthy. you get dragged back to terncliff to pilot the gundam the big robot cid made because there's an evil version of the same one flying around. you knock it down. you see the pilot emerging from it and it's the gross sweaty milk man from werlyt and i was like ok i'm pretty sure that guy got popped like a balloon one expansion ago, but no, it's dumber. there was apparently one guy in the empire who went so far as to get the eorzean equivalent of plastic surgery to look exactly like him so that if the original failed he could step up????? it's incredibly stupid, gaius knocks him out even though i wish he just straight up killed him, and he's like yeah we're just gonna arrest him and question him later. then you go back and get a family portrait done for the au'ra girl that got orphaned of her and her siblings with gaius. which i didn't ask a copy for but they gave me one anyway. into the trash
and it just culminates in one of the other orphan kids being like "we found this really cool shell!" that you take back to sharlayan for tataru's necklace and all of this felt really unnecessary and all over the place LOL ugh. bring back leofard i'm sick of these bitches
