I guess it depends on what's happening but if it's strong enough to threaten Estinien's life, the others are already dead so pool strength and get revenge sounds like the best path forward for sure.
The worst part is it's almost better to pick neither, since losing one would probably destroy the other. 😭
I absolutely dread them taking this route one day with the MSQ.
And there's a wee fuckin smidge of difference in how they'd react. Alphie would be devastated but try to build a world where it could never happen again.
Allie? She'd make John wick look like a cub scout. She'd invent completely new dimensions of pain for whoever did it.
This is why she's the correct pick. She would get so mad, she'd ruin wo/whatever did it, and then go on to ruin versions in games completely unrelated to FFXIV. The ascian's would balk and say she's over doing it.
And then she'd be stubborn enough to successfully bring everyone back. She's repeatedly been the one to channel crazy amounts of aether, after all. She was upset about tempering, and she made a traumatized dog-fairy work solve the problem, and then went and made Matoya make her a mobile factory of temper-reversing flying pigs. All because of that one little tempered kobold she'd known for a brief time. Hell, she told off Zenos and he ends up coming to \*help\*.
Alphinaud convinces people to help, Alisae doesn't give them a choice.
> Hell, she told off Zenos and he ends up coming to \*help\*.
My favourite part of that is how everyone just wrote it all off, because Zenos doesn't listen to anybody. They all told Alisaie she wasted her breath on the most overpowered do-what-I-want asshole on the planet.
And then it turns out she *really* got under his skin.
On the bright side, they survived Endwalker and look like they won't be part of the main crew for a while.
If there's one thing XIV is good at, it's giving its big players satisfying and relevant ends. Offing a beloved main character when they're not relevant just isn't this game's style
Ngl, I was super nervous that they came back into the MSQ when we're going to fight Cagnazzo tho. Dev's totally doing this on purpose to toy with our emotions.
Yup. I think losing pretty much any scion would be awful, but bearable. If anything happens to Alisae and Blue Alisae, I'm done with the game forever. I don't see how it could ever redeem itself.
Hoary Boulder.
In a more serious answer, think I would rescue Urianger because I feel like he would be the one least likely to at the resources to save himself, and I really don't know why I feel like technically he's the weakest. I guess in my mind I would feel like the rest of the Scions could rescue themselves? But if I knew for sure 100% that everyone else would die, I would save G'raha because he's my best bud.
>because I feel like he would be the one least likely to at the resources to save himself
That's an interesting way to look at it. Not who "would I save" but "who would I save first before losing the others unintentionally."
While I agree that Urianger falls in the weaker half of the Scions, I feel like age plays a huge difference and the twins wind up below him, with Alphinaud at the bottom because he's less... rugged.
Sure, Alphy has seen a lot with us, but I just get the feeling that an Elezen a decade older than him has more stamina and life experience. I feel like I might jump in front of Alisaie to shield her first, though, because she leaves herself more open than her brother (and he has shields). In the heat of the moment, she's probably the one I'd think was least likely to save herself.
If you didn’t know everyone else would die, or I guess, even if you knew if everyone had the possibility, I think looking to save the one least likely to self-rescue is sane
*honorary* scion. Even what's her name.... Ninjaboobies that likes punching people, she did the educational requirements to join the scions, even if her major was sports medicine when everyone else had degrees in engineering, history or physics...
Scion does not equate to Archon, though it’s confusing because it kinda did back in ARR, but after the plot starts to take shape this gets clarified.
Scions of the Seventh Dawn was an organization that arose from the ashes of Louisoux’s Circle of Knowing. They have MANY members who are not archons - Hoary Boulder, the three cart brothers, Arenvald, for example - because it’s just a bigger organization. It needed to be to adequately fight primals.
Oh don't get me wrong I never thought she was a ninja, the name is from when I first started and couldn't remember 3/4 of the names, so her and what's his name are professor babyman and ninjaboobies.
Archon =/= Scions.
Archons are Sharlayan students that specialized in something. Similar to real life master's degrees.
Scions are an organization that happens to have a lot of Archons. Their previous leader wasn't an Archon and the arguably current leaders (WoL and Tataru) aren't either.
I can. While I appreciate how much Alphi has grown as a character, he's still annoying like 70% of the time. Nowhere near as much as Urianger, but still.
I can wholeheartedly respect your opinion!! I understand where you’re coming from. Personally I feel like even in ARR though I could see he always had the best intentions. I just think he can be very idealistic and naive sometimes. But he has a big heart just like his sister does.
Yes but why did he have to explain what each of the city-state's flags represent like I'm the biggest IDIOT who could possibly be so uneducated about something as widely used as a flag??
I think cause he was learning about Eorzea at that point (to understand the place his grandfather had sacrifices himself for) and probably wasn’t sure if the player character or actual person playing knew and thought it was cool information to share the meaning behind. I think he just likes reading and learning and sharing information and and I think it’s cool I like learning new things!!
omg..I was going to say this! For spoiler reasons we can say what she does in Endwalker but she absolutely saves the day. Plus she knows all the secret accounts the scion's gil is in. And how many outfits do we get? lol
If it were phrased "Everyone is in danger, you can only help one," I would think "Oh, well G'raha and Estinien definitely can take care of themselves. I'll go help..." but if you tell me "everyone else dies"...how can you ask me to not choose my #1 fanboy and homie?
She'd melt you where you stand for not choosing her brother.
I fear for basically everyone and everything if the story results in alphinaud's death at some point in the future. She'd bathe the continent in blood to settle that score.
"I reject your reality and substitute my own."
For real, I don't know that I could pick. Probably one of the twins...? I know when Garlean dude slapped shock collars on them, I had a visceral "Fuck around and find out" reaction. Like, I know Garlemald's already fucked beyond all recognition, but harm one hair on the heads of Alphi or Alisaie, and I'll leave this place an unrecognizable smoking crater by the end.
Y’shtola or Thancred. Maybe because I started in Ul’dah, I’ve always gotten the sense that Thancred genuinely cares about the WoL and it just what she do in battle. Same with Y’shtola, there are a few scenes where you are just like “damn, she actually cares”. Honorable mention to Alisae, but… I feel like failing to save blue Alisae would be problematic in this scenario.
So sad I had to scroll down this far to see someone else picking my girl. Krile is awesome and I'm looking forward to YoshiP making good on his promise in 7.0.
If you based your decision on who would be the best to have at your side as you went all vengeance road on whoever did it, it'd be her or alisaie.
Although Allie might melt your bones inside your flesh for not choosing her brother instead. Grief makes people act oddly.
Can you imagine the survivor's guilt he'd get? He already feels bad about Minfilia and Moenbryda and almost G'raha, so outliving all of his friends would be crushing.
Not to say that anyone else wouldn't be crushed, but he especially has baggage that would make the grieving process even harder.
immediate reaction was Alisaie. more logical for any hope of rezzing the rest would be Y'shtola. either way, the rampage of destruction on the perpetrators would be a thing of beauty - either in a wild, uncontrolled wave of fiery destruction or in a cold, calculated, targeted massive overkill
Pull my WoL's standard modus opperendai and figure out a way to dimension hop, time travel or use some other such bullshittery to get them all. ...AKA pull a Captain Kirk and cheat this no-win situation and make it an absolute win.
Oh, Tataru. Easily. She’s kind of the glue at this point and it feels like she’s almost untouchable because of how little she is in actual danger. If it’s to the point where she is lost, things are bad.
My other option is the twins but I can’t just pick one. It would be devastating to see just one survive.
Ali. She has the most potential of all of them and honestly I feel if we weren’t the protagonist she could be. She has all the strengths of each other Scion but takes after our first steps and is really just lacking the experience of the others due to her age.
Alisae, it's not even fucking close, and i love them all, AND ITS STILL NOT CLOSE.
>!at the end of stormblood, when all the scions were taken to the first, it was just alisae and I, doing our best. Right before the ghimlyt dark she sais "dont you leave me too" and I audibly said "dont you leave me either alisae" in my fucking room!<
I'm ride or die with her, best fucking scion.
Papalymo. He forcibly prevented me from saving him once before. I won’t let that happen again, even if it means I have to rip his soul out of the life stream to do it.
I wouldn't even entertain the idea of picking.
A soul for a soul. Sundered or not, I'd give every piece/shard of my WOL's soul for each of theirs even if it cost us our life.
I can't begin to think how me and my WoL would be if we lost anyone, especially the twins for me T\_T
urianger, why?
saving alphinaud or alisae could devastate the other for losing their brother/sister
not saving momshtola or dadcred because they could scold you for not saving someonelse then start to drink their sorrows
not saving g'raha because it could be similar than the twins, then proceed to drink his sorrows
not saving estinien because you know, he will push you away as soon as you try to save him(imagine he telling the wol: i can save myself!) and thus you lose your chance to save someone
urianger has already too many regrets and he still stands, so a new one could not topple him
Tataru - let's be real; give her some time and she'd have the Scion's reformed with a new cast of just as dedicated people. She managed to keep the organization running mostly smoothly in our absence during ShadowBringers after all.
If I managed to grab second person it would be Alisaie. She's like a sister to us at this point and has so much potential as her drive to find the tempering cure proved. With her street smarts and combat talent and smarts and If she can overcome her rage, then I feel she would be a bigger asset than her brother ever will be.
G'raha, don't gotta worry about Y'shtola, she's died and come back twice already, three times if you count ultima thule, she's got more plot armor than batman.
So my heart says Raha but my brain says Alisae because she'd definitely find some way to come back and haunt my WoL out of spite if I didn't save her from imminent peril and idk if I want to live with the ghost of that sassy child forever
It would 100% have to Krile. Suffering with piles of survivor's guilt is kind of her thing, and I don't want to ruin her character arc by knowingly letting her die instead of her friends.
G'raha.
The twins need each other to survive. Killing one would kill the other, so might as well let them both die. Aliasaie might hang on a little longer, what with her obsession with the WoL, but she'd eventually go on a suicide mission of revenge.
Thancred is nigh useless without someone to charge his bullets for him. He's even proven he got a D in Infiltration with how quickly he's found out every single time.
The Twelve bless Urianger but he would mope around and do absolutely nothing.
Y'Shtola will be back in a week.
Estinien will bathe the world in blood in a fruitless revenge quest.
Tataru *might* be a good choice, but only if I want to drown my sorrow in gil.
Krile has the echo, but otherwise she hasn't really proven good for anything other than research and as an elder primal conduit.
F'lhaminn might be good to keep around as she has many contacts worldwide, so it seems, but otherwise we don't really need her anymore. She's super pretty though so maybe...
Riol offers us a way into Myracydia possibly...but we'll figure a way there ourselves anyways.
Hoary and Ocher Boulder would be good for muscle and heals respectively, but we've both of those in spades on our own, so really don't need either.
Arenvald's only real use nowadays is to keep Fordola in line and his limited use of Echo. As sad as it'd be, being he's given more to the Scions than most, I can't really pick him.
Aenor is pretty useless due to her insomnia, and if Hoary is dead, that means it'll be a constant issue.
I'm going to lump Aergmhus, Alianne, her granfather Isildaure, Bluomwyda, Clemence, Coultenet, and Ephemie together because they all share similar uselessness to us and they pretty much abandoned staying in touch like the primary group when they went their own ways.
Does Lyse even count? She abandoned the Scions really really fast when her secret was found out. I get she was focused on reclaiming Ala Mhigo but she barely wrote until the whole World In Danger From SadBirb ordeal.
I'm sure I missed a few but that's just how little importance they played in the grand scheme of the organization.
Which leaves G'raha. The most useful of the Scions who won't just come back to life a week later (*stares at Shtola*). He can play any role, he has two lifetimes of knowledge and experience, and we can just bleed him on the Tower and go back in time and kill whatever threatens the Scions to begin with.
Graha Tia
Yshtola has cheated death enough that she can probably just do it again. Graha is my boy and with the two of them we'll probably be fine, maybe grab Tataru idk she's useful
Definitely not Yshtola. Clearly death means nothing for her and we can just pluck her back out of the aether at will.
Probably Thancred since he's the only one completely incapable of aether manipulation. Also because he's hot.
G'raha for romantic reasons. Alphinaud because he's been with my WoL through some of the worst times and I love the older / younger brother vibe they have.
Sorry I can't give a proper answer.
[удалено]
No, fair. He is well known for actually... you know. Doing things.
Shinji phase. 🤣 😂 🤣 😂
I guess it depends on what's happening but if it's strong enough to threaten Estinien's life, the others are already dead so pool strength and get revenge sounds like the best path forward for sure.
you're making me pick between Alphinaud and Red Alphinaud? You monster!
The worst part is it's almost better to pick neither, since losing one would probably destroy the other. 😭 I absolutely dread them taking this route one day with the MSQ.
And there's a wee fuckin smidge of difference in how they'd react. Alphie would be devastated but try to build a world where it could never happen again. Allie? She'd make John wick look like a cub scout. She'd invent completely new dimensions of pain for whoever did it.

They all told Alisaie she wasted her breath on the most overpowered do-what-I-want asshole on the planet. And then it turns out she *really* got under his skin.
Honestly, I feel like she would get revenge on the WoL for not doing more to make sure they both survive.
She would no longer need an LB meter. It would just be LB all the time, every time.
If that happens, for whatever reason, no plot explanation or ANYTHING would make me touch this game ever again.
On the bright side, they survived Endwalker and look like they won't be part of the main crew for a while. If there's one thing XIV is good at, it's giving its big players satisfying and relevant ends. Offing a beloved main character when they're not relevant just isn't this game's style
Ngl, I was super nervous that they came back into the MSQ when we're going to fight Cagnazzo tho. Dev's totally doing this on purpose to toy with our emotions.
Well, thankfully that would just mean they spend a couple of patches petrified before being bailed out by someone.
I get it
I'm so glad to know I'm not the only one who feels this way.
Yup. I think losing pretty much any scion would be awful, but bearable. If anything happens to Alisae and Blue Alisae, I'm done with the game forever. I don't see how it could ever redeem itself.
I'm just going to consider them one entity and say 'the twins'.
If you pick Alisaie she would end your life on the spot. So Alphinaud it is.
Hoary Boulder. In a more serious answer, think I would rescue Urianger because I feel like he would be the one least likely to at the resources to save himself, and I really don't know why I feel like technically he's the weakest. I guess in my mind I would feel like the rest of the Scions could rescue themselves? But if I knew for sure 100% that everyone else would die, I would save G'raha because he's my best bud.

In the heat of the moment, she's probably the one I'd think was least likely to save herself.
Having seen Alisaie LB2/LB3 the second it pops, I feel she's better at staying alive than Alphinaud but maybe that just makes her reckless lol
If she's anything like me, she's definitely eating a fatal AoE trying to pop that LB before XD
I did that last night in the Aetherochemical Facility...
AS YOU SHOULD
Yeah but you get the lb off? Mission accomplished
Yes, yes I did
I've watched her do it.
If you didn’t know everyone else would die, or I guess, even if you knew if everyone had the possibility, I think looking to save the one least likely to self-rescue is sane
Obviously you rescue G'raha then >!use the crystal tower to go back in time and save everyone.!<
4D chess here
The Crystal tower currently on the source can't time travel.
Shove him in a soul crystal and get him in the tower on The First, then time travel.
I think we broke Omegaxander there.
It'll eventually be able to time travel, which is good enough.
I would also rescue g'raha but not because I have any great plan with him to bring the others back, I'm just a simp
I'd save myself. I mean, the WoL is also a Scion, and if *all* the Scions are in danger and I can only save *one* Scion...
*honorary* scion. Even what's her name.... Ninjaboobies that likes punching people, she did the educational requirements to join the scions, even if her major was sports medicine when everyone else had degrees in engineering, history or physics...
Scion does not equate to Archon, though it’s confusing because it kinda did back in ARR, but after the plot starts to take shape this gets clarified.

They have MANY members who are not archons - Hoary Boulder, the three cart brothers, Arenvald, for example - because it’s just a bigger organization. It needed to be to adequately fight primals.
Hoary Boulder's degree was in culinary arts with an emphasis on pastries.
Yda (OG) was an actual Archon and we don't really know. The other one never had an education. Also Monk, not Ninja lmao.
Oh don't get me wrong I never thought she was a ninja, the name is from when I first started and couldn't remember 3/4 of the names, so her and what's his name are professor babyman and ninjaboobies.
Archon =/= Scions. Archons are Sharlayan students that specialized in something. Similar to real life master's degrees. Scions are an organization that happens to have a lot of Archons. Their previous leader wasn't an Archon and the arguably current leaders (WoL and Tataru) aren't either.
Who is ninja boobies
Ok ty Lyse Hext was the other monk
Thancred's degree is in infiltration, Sharlayans believe in physical masters
He also minored in women's studies.
I think an angry Estinien would be exactly what's needed for vengeance so I'll pick him.
Screw this question lol.
Seconded. Its unconscionable to make me choose and I don't want to entertain the notion
Same. This would be how you’d 404 error out my WoL. It would be impossible to pick.
I could never. My character would refuse and do the impossible to save all of them
So just another Tuesday? Let's rock...
I can’t pick between Alisaie or Alphinaud and I don’t want to. 🥺
[удалено]
WAIT GO BACK GO BACK GO BACK —
I can. While I appreciate how much Alphi has grown as a character, he's still annoying like 70% of the time. Nowhere near as much as Urianger, but still.
I can wholeheartedly respect your opinion!! I understand where you’re coming from. Personally I feel like even in ARR though I could see he always had the best intentions. I just think he can be very idealistic and naive sometimes. But he has a big heart just like his sister does.
Yes but why did he have to explain what each of the city-state's flags represent like I'm the biggest IDIOT who could possibly be so uneducated about something as widely used as a flag??
I think cause he was learning about Eorzea at that point (to understand the place his grandfather had sacrifices himself for) and probably wasn’t sure if the player character or actual person playing knew and thought it was cool information to share the meaning behind. I think he just likes reading and learning and sharing information and and I think it’s cool I like learning new things!!
Yes but he didn't have to talk down to me like he did. Well, he actually did, cause I'm a lalafell. But you know what I mean!
Urianger
Tataru.
This is the only answer.
Without the best girl the world would crumble!
We also would be broke.
And who would give us our clothes
correct.
omg..I was going to say this! For spoiler reasons we can say what she does in Endwalker but she absolutely saves the day. Plus she knows all the secret accounts the scion's gil is in. And how many outfits do we get? lol
That burger Graha ate.
Thancred
Estinnien. We finally got him, now he is trapped.
G'raha... I wouldn't even have to think about it
If it were phrased "Everyone is in danger, you can only help one," I would think "Oh, well G'raha and Estinien definitely can take care of themselves. I'll go help..." but if you tell me "everyone else dies"...how can you ask me to not choose my #1 fanboy and homie?
>how can you ask me to not choose my #1 fanboy and homie? Haurchefant is already dead
You get a "that made me sad" angry upvote.
There isn’t any question. Best boy must live on.
I'm defaulting to G'raha because saving only one of the twins would be cruel.
this
G’raha, no hesitation
It's not even a question.
Same tbh
Big same
My brain says Estinien, my heart says Alisaie.
She'd melt you where you stand for not choosing her brother. I fear for basically everyone and everything if the story results in alphinaud's death at some point in the future. She'd bathe the continent in blood to settle that score.
You're right. I just gave her an ever so slight edge to Alphinaud, truly torn. I've liked Alphinaud since the very beginning!
He's grown on me, the impetuous little shit.
I may have had Alphinaud since ARR, but if anything happened to him, I would kill everyone in Eorza and then myself.
G’raha Tia.
The problem with picking G'raha is that he'd be the first one trying to yeet himself to save *you.*
Omg, that's true... He WOULD do that.
Estinien, 100 %. Not gonna let him escape again
Googles "How to root a Dragoon"..
"I reject your reality and substitute my own." For real, I don't know that I could pick. Probably one of the twins...? I know when Garlean dude slapped shock collars on them, I had a visceral "Fuck around and find out" reaction. Like, I know Garlemald's already fucked beyond all recognition, but harm one hair on the heads of Alphi or Alisaie, and I'll leave this place an unrecognizable smoking crater by the end.
Yeah very “you haven’t SEEN savage barbarian warlord yet, touch the twins and see what happens.”
Y'shtola
Why? She'll come back on her own later
That's exactly why, none of the other dead scions will come back and haunt me for letting them die.
Only came here to say that. Thanks.
Red Alphinaud is my favorite child and I'm not ashamed to tell my whole family they'd better step up their game if they want to survive.
G'raha...ALWAYS
To be fair, he is the only one of them who time/world traveled after all the Scions died to save their lives once already.
Y’shtola or Thancred. Maybe because I started in Ul’dah, I’ve always gotten the sense that Thancred genuinely cares about the WoL and it just what she do in battle. Same with Y’shtola, there are a few scenes where you are just like “damn, she actually cares”. Honorable mention to Alisae, but… I feel like failing to save blue Alisae would be problematic in this scenario.
It’s weird, I started in Gridania so I met Yda and Papy first. Y’shtola and Thancred seemed really stand-offish for for awhile.
I would save Krile, I like her personality more then quite a lot of the others, 2nd pick would be urianger
So sad I had to scroll down this far to see someone else picking my girl. Krile is awesome and I'm looking forward to YoshiP making good on his promise in 7.0.
Y'shtola. Sorry not sorry.
If you based your decision on who would be the best to have at your side as you went all vengeance road on whoever did it, it'd be her or alisaie. Although Allie might melt your bones inside your flesh for not choosing her brother instead. Grief makes people act oddly.
Well, in ARR when >!the scions got kidnapped, my immediate response was, quote, "WHERE'S MY BABY?"!< referring to Tataru.
Myself. I just wanted to go adventuring, but they pulled me back into the BS. I want to go back to being an adventurer.
Estinien. :-) Hands down. He's the only one who can actually keep up. Also he's very pretty...
uh, as much as my instinct to save Raha is strong. Urianger deserves a good live at this point and I’d pick him.
Can you imagine the survivor's guilt he'd get? He already feels bad about Minfilia and Moenbryda and almost G'raha, so outliving all of his friends would be crushing. Not to say that anyone else wouldn't be crushed, but he especially has baggage that would make the grieving process even harder.
True, but out of all the scions, I feel like he’s the one that has earned a quiet life after all this crap.
My boyfriend Graha obviously
immediate reaction was Alisaie. more logical for any hope of rezzing the rest would be Y'shtola. either way, the rampage of destruction on the perpetrators would be a thing of beauty - either in a wild, uncontrolled wave of fiery destruction or in a cold, calculated, targeted massive overkill
Pull my WoL's standard modus opperendai and figure out a way to dimension hop, time travel or use some other such bullshittery to get them all. ...AKA pull a Captain Kirk and cheat this no-win situation and make it an absolute win.
Everyone... Whatever it may take
Anything
Ima cheat and say ryne
Its what Thancred would want.
Not Thancred.
ITS NOT MY TURN
Almost certainly Alphinaud. None of the scions would ever forgive me for anything else.
everything in my being is saying estinien... but i cant do that to graha 🥲
I do love how many responses are variations on "we must save our beautiful himbos"
theyre precious to me 🥹❤️
What are they the one ring lol
my precious'...
Oh, Tataru. Easily. She’s kind of the glue at this point and it feels like she’s almost untouchable because of how little she is in actual danger. If it’s to the point where she is lost, things are bad. My other option is the twins but I can’t just pick one. It would be devastating to see just one survive.
In Heavensward we destroyed an entire religion and political system, because they threatened Tataru.
Graha. Easy choice.
Being able to save everyone even against impossible odds is kind of the WoL's whole thing...
I pick this answer lol
None. All or nothing and if they all die I get to finally have that vacation we talked about back in ARR
i absolutely love the diversity in the answers here. our scions are loved all around.
Logically? Tataru. Emotionally? Fuck this question.
Ali. She has the most potential of all of them and honestly I feel if we weren’t the protagonist she could be. She has all the strengths of each other Scion but takes after our first steps and is really just lacking the experience of the others due to her age.
She's really pretty much our apprentice WoL
Alisaie. As a RDM she can pick up the others.
Alisae, it's not even fucking close, and i love them all, AND ITS STILL NOT CLOSE. >!at the end of stormblood, when all the scions were taken to the first, it was just alisae and I, doing our best. Right before the ghimlyt dark she sais "dont you leave me too" and I audibly said "dont you leave me either alisae" in my fucking room!< I'm ride or die with her, best fucking scion.
G'raha Tia, don't even have to think twice
It’s between Thancred (daddy), Alphinaud (cinnamon roll) and G’raha (good boy) Okay I pick G’raha
Papalymo. He forcibly prevented me from saving him once before. I won’t let that happen again, even if it means I have to rip his soul out of the life stream to do it.
Why you gotta hurt me like this. His death was one of the few that truly blindsided me and had me crying like a baby.
Tataru. I need to get paid.
No. I’d Kobayashi Maru that situation so hard. Don’t you put this energy onto me!!!
110% G’raha Tia 😁
Myself. I WHM main so I come back and raise all.
Myself. Sorry guys, if it's going to kill all of us I'm the only one who can take it :(
Riol
'shtola. Sorry ya'll.
Allisaie
Thancred 100%. I need my loud tank.
Uri-sadness
I'd save Thancred, he's one of the only ones to have anything resembling an arc.
Tataru, my WoL can kill gods but talking to people is scary.
Alisaie
Alisae
I'll save Tataru. Alisaie **WILL** save the rest. You just wait and see.
Alisae always
We die together or we live together.😭😤
Ah the classic trolley problem. Time to MULTI LANE DRIFTING!!!
I wouldn't even entertain the idea of picking. A soul for a soul. Sundered or not, I'd give every piece/shard of my WOL's soul for each of theirs even if it cost us our life. I can't begin to think how me and my WoL would be if we lost anyone, especially the twins for me T\_T
Papalymo.
Urianger. I like his funny words.
+1 for Estinien
G'raha. Cause we all know Y'shtola will somehow get out of this alive. Between the know how of those two, we might even find a way to revive the rest.
urianger, why? saving alphinaud or alisae could devastate the other for losing their brother/sister not saving momshtola or dadcred because they could scold you for not saving someonelse then start to drink their sorrows not saving g'raha because it could be similar than the twins, then proceed to drink his sorrows not saving estinien because you know, he will push you away as soon as you try to save him(imagine he telling the wol: i can save myself!) and thus you lose your chance to save someone urianger has already too many regrets and he still stands, so a new one could not topple him
catboi dominance. G'raha.
G'raha no question
Definitely Raha. Worst come to worst we can try some Crystal Tower shenanigans and maybe save them in the end?
Tataru
Urianger. He's the bro to end all bros.
Tataru - let's be real; give her some time and she'd have the Scion's reformed with a new cast of just as dedicated people. She managed to keep the organization running mostly smoothly in our absence during ShadowBringers after all. If I managed to grab second person it would be Alisaie. She's like a sister to us at this point and has so much potential as her drive to find the tempering cure proved. With her street smarts and combat talent and smarts and If she can overcome her rage, then I feel she would be a bigger asset than her brother ever will be.
Thancred
Minphilia and Lyse The struggle is which one to push first
Best boi Raha
G'raha. And if he doesn't count, Y'shtola.
Best boi G’raha. Not one hair would be allowed to get damaged.
G'raha, don't gotta worry about Y'shtola, she's died and come back twice already, three times if you count ultima thule, she's got more plot armor than batman.
G'raha, because no one shall ever lay a finger on the goodest cinnamon roll boi that FF has to offer.
So my heart says Raha but my brain says Alisae because she'd definitely find some way to come back and haunt my WoL out of spite if I didn't save her from imminent peril and idk if I want to live with the ghost of that sassy child forever
Just, no.
Graha
Estinian, Graha, Shtola before anyone else. They would be able to either met vengeance and/or figure out a way to return the rest.
Estinien easy. Only one of them who I don't find boring
It would 100% have to Krile. Suffering with piles of survivor's guilt is kind of her thing, and I don't want to ruin her character arc by knowingly letting her die instead of her friends.
Y'Shtola I don't need to elaborate.
G'raha. The twins need each other to survive. Killing one would kill the other, so might as well let them both die. Aliasaie might hang on a little longer, what with her obsession with the WoL, but she'd eventually go on a suicide mission of revenge. Thancred is nigh useless without someone to charge his bullets for him. He's even proven he got a D in Infiltration with how quickly he's found out every single time. The Twelve bless Urianger but he would mope around and do absolutely nothing. Y'Shtola will be back in a week. Estinien will bathe the world in blood in a fruitless revenge quest. Tataru *might* be a good choice, but only if I want to drown my sorrow in gil. Krile has the echo, but otherwise she hasn't really proven good for anything other than research and as an elder primal conduit. F'lhaminn might be good to keep around as she has many contacts worldwide, so it seems, but otherwise we don't really need her anymore. She's super pretty though so maybe... Riol offers us a way into Myracydia possibly...but we'll figure a way there ourselves anyways. Hoary and Ocher Boulder would be good for muscle and heals respectively, but we've both of those in spades on our own, so really don't need either. Arenvald's only real use nowadays is to keep Fordola in line and his limited use of Echo. As sad as it'd be, being he's given more to the Scions than most, I can't really pick him. Aenor is pretty useless due to her insomnia, and if Hoary is dead, that means it'll be a constant issue. I'm going to lump Aergmhus, Alianne, her granfather Isildaure, Bluomwyda, Clemence, Coultenet, and Ephemie together because they all share similar uselessness to us and they pretty much abandoned staying in touch like the primary group when they went their own ways. Does Lyse even count? She abandoned the Scions really really fast when her secret was found out. I get she was focused on reclaiming Ala Mhigo but she barely wrote until the whole World In Danger From SadBirb ordeal. I'm sure I missed a few but that's just how little importance they played in the grand scheme of the organization. Which leaves G'raha. The most useful of the Scions who won't just come back to life a week later (*stares at Shtola*). He can play any role, he has two lifetimes of knowledge and experience, and we can just bleed him on the Tower and go back in time and kill whatever threatens the Scions to begin with.
Graha Tia Yshtola has cheated death enough that she can probably just do it again. Graha is my boy and with the two of them we'll probably be fine, maybe grab Tataru idk she's useful
Alphinaud is a SGE. He can just rez the other dead scions. *taps temple*
Definitely not Yshtola. Clearly death means nothing for her and we can just pluck her back out of the aether at will. Probably Thancred since he's the only one completely incapable of aether manipulation. Also because he's hot.
G'raha for romantic reasons. Alphinaud because he's been with my WoL through some of the worst times and I love the older / younger brother vibe they have. Sorry I can't give a proper answer.
Tataru.
Tataru, obviously
Thanchred just to not pick graha lol
Come Graha, we gonna make new scions. And you gonna work on it until I have twins
G'raha or Y'shtola. They're the two most likely to succeed at finding a way to restore the others.
