Final Wars I quite like but the snout is just a little too pinched for my personal preferences. My favorite has to be the KiryuGoji design which I feel takes the best qualities of the MireGoji and late Heisei-era Godzilla suits and blends them to create the best standard-default Godzilla look.

Ruminating on it, I have a feeling it was added by the English localization because they actually felt that Hien should at least acknowledge the past actions of Yotsuyu’s brothel owner. So while the other languages don’t have Hien being unbecomingly wishy-washy on the ethical of the Jifuya-

That reminds me, Tamers also has another bad bitch Digimon (who is beloved by both the furries and non-furries). Sakuyamon, who is also popularly shipped with Beelzebumon/Beelstarmon.

Of course of course, well if you’re still open to suggestions, I think the characters Tsume and Blue from Wolf’s Rain could be potential additions as well.

For the sake of informational accuracy, apparently "unanimous consent" from the Senate doesn't actually mean a unanimous vote occurred (though it's a still a show of cowardice), it's apparently more a case of no one objecting to a proposal for various reasons-

Here’s the Garlemald inspiration ones, it’s an excerpt from a larger Japanese interview. x.com/aitaikimochi...
![-How did you go about creating the areas of Old Sharlayan, Radz-at-Han, and Garlemald? What was the design process like with the Background Team?
Oda: We chose India and the Middle East as the inspiration of Radz-at-Han while Garlemald was inspired by the Roman Empire as well as Russia. We took the environment and cultures of the present world and brought those ideas to the designers. [Thavnair and Garlemald] are location names that appeared from the beginning of FFXIV, so we thought since we are reaching the "Finale" with Endwalker, it was quite imperative to be able to actually go to these areas.
Ishida: We thought something along the lines of, "let's go to all these places!"
Yoshida: These names frequently appeared within the story, so we wanted to do all we can to allow players to reach these previously unaccessible places. We wanted players to feel that even if it takes time, they will eventually be able to go to all those places mentioned. I'm really glad we were able to create these fields for players to explore.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:c56gin6pzpy52e3ddkpaojbh/bafkreihm2cmtotgewb46fuv7ch7seb2ix3hbcw5yaltxzx3x27mc7dlxx4@jpeg)

Well, if it's any consolation, the devs also have also explicitly stated that the remaining sundered Ascians are going to have entirely new and different goals (i.e. the Rejoining plans are kaput).
![as loose ends somewhere out there in the reflections, but after the closure of the Hydaelyn and Zodiark arc in Endwalker, specifically the defeat of Zodiark, the grand Ascian plan of the Rejoining to restore the ancients has been well and truly foiled. So what are our favourite masked miscreants up to now?
Yoshida tells me the team discussed how best to depict the remaining Ascians, and that it was
"an intentional decision to leave a time gap up until their appearance in the story" as "with the end of the Hydaelyn Zodiark arc, for the Unsundered Ascians, we were able to cleanly conclude their story, and it would obviously be a turn off if suddenly the other Ascians suddenly made an appearance."
Fans have been left wondering whether the remaining Ascians will somehow want to find a new way to trigger the rejoining, or whether they are each fulfilling their own personal motives without the guidance of the Unsundered Ascians.
"We don't intend on having the remaining Ascians carry over that plan," Yoshida says about the Ascian's aim to reclaim Etheirys for the ancients. "The reason being is, of course, because the Unsundered Ascians are no longer there. At the end of Endwalker, Emet-Selch was satisfied with leaving the rest of the world over to the Warrior of Light, so we have no intention of writing that story again, I also feel that we shouldn't be writing that."
This is likely a relief to hear for most fans who were worried about retreading old ground and the same story beats again, but it's clear that we're in for some fresh Ascian adventures in the future.
"The Unsundered Ascians have all gone, but because [the Sundered Ascians] have the Memory Crystals, they do have knowledge of the secret arts and techniques that are passed on from the Unsundered. Since they have their own strength and the memories, we will be able to see very soon in the story what they are planning, and because that will be coming quite soon, I do hope that players will look forward to it.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:c56gin6pzpy52e3ddkpaojbh/bafkreiaf72urt45232cyjpefexggk4rfkkxguyuobxvgnhmntvefpmazjy@jpeg)

Yeah, they talked about that consideration it in this interview (it's also where they mention how some fans' reactions reveal a double-standard regarding when Hermes casts judgement on humanity versus when Emet-Selch does the same.
![Interviewer: When did you decide to bring the story so far to a conclusion?
Ishikawa: After Shadowbringers released, around the end of 2019, Image Studio [note: the CGI studio within Square Enix that produces the high-quality cinematics in various SE game] had to be provided with storyboards. In autumn and winter of that year, we went on a residential together in order to decide the main points of the story for the next expansion. But the problem was… we’re used to the writing process, and so feeling that “here and here are the remaining parts of the story we have to talk about, so let’s accept the rest”, the residential went very smoothly. I was in charge of filling in the details of the story elements, but when I looked at the structure of the content again, I thought “this might be okay for just another expansion, but if this is labelled the ‘finale’ is it really okay?” So I reworked the story from the plot outline. The end result was ready 2 days before the deadline.
Interviewer: In the plot at that point, were elements such as Meteion already included?
Ishikawa: The name Meteion wasn’t there yet, but the base form of what she became had been decided.
Yoshida: During the residential, the core parts of the story were listed, but after that Ishikawa said ‘we didn’t reach agreement, so I rewrote it.” As a result, when we compared the story decided on at the residential, and the rewrite Ishikawa presented, we thought “it was the right choice to rework this”.
------ Yoshida goes on to explain that around the time of Stormblood, the team didn’t really think about how the story would continue long term. When making Shadowbringers, it was said that about 80% of the plot points have been revealed, and he thought after ShB it may be possible to keep things going from 1-2 more expansions. Looking at the fan response immediately after ShB, he felt that there should be one more expansion.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:c56gin6pzpy52e3ddkpaojbh/bafkreicun6cxgejl5nhjwxpzlznjyew5ed3s2odlvldg3sviz5mgkbwjwa@jpeg)
![Ishikawa: When I was writing Hermes, I thought he’d be a character 80% of people would hate, 20% of people would love. But even for the people who love him, you recognise his complexities and emptiness… But personally I really, really love him. He himself made a huge mistake... but that mistake made him the foundation for everything that came after.
Interviewer: Without Hermes, this story itself couldn’t have happened.
Ishikawa: Without him, the world might have become like what we saw in the 3rd area of the Dead Ends dungeon.
Interviewer: Where “Ra-la” appears, right?
Ishikawa: Right. “Ra-la’s” world (laughs). Hermes' mistake is like the first “wound” the people of Eitherys bear. Whether people think this was a mistake, or part of becoming stronger, will differ.
Interviewer: What did you focus on while making the Elpis zone?
Ishikawa: We kept in mind the concept of “Paradise”.
Oda: While we made an area like the Sea of Clouds before, we wanted Elpis to look more man-made. It’s similar to Amaurot, but while Amaurot felt lonely, Elpis feels warm.
Yoshida: We decided that Elpis should be the most beautiful area in this game. A world that is extremely beautiful, abundant, and on the surface overflowing with happiness. But once you step in we wanted it to feel dangerous, so we checked it over many times.
Interviewer: Back in ShB, we were afraid of the Ancients, but in EW with the presence of those two we’re familiar with [ie Emet and Hyltho] they feel friendlier.
Yoshida: When Hermes says he will make judgment on humanity, in a way, its very impartial. Making judgment - this is something Emet-Selch did so many times, and each time killed so many people. Emet-Selch wanted to get back his sundered friends and the people he loved, and with forthright emotions he handed down his final judgment. Looking at it that way, Hermes’ made judgment in an objective way. So it's a bit surprising that we can forgive Emet-Selch’s ‘judgment’ but can’t forgive Hermes’.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:c56gin6pzpy52e3ddkpaojbh/bafkreicaooucc5tgj3ceecjtv6nzalaekwcdg4q4vzj5qf6fdzicnuz6bi@jpeg)
