Saving the world over and over again is nice, but when are we going to eat? In one of Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker’s more intimate scenes, our hero of light and her friends share a scholarly fast food feast, and catboy G’raha Tia is delighted to learn that yes, he can has cheeseburger.
Despite the never-ending battle with overcrowded servers this weekend, I managed to sneak in several hours of playtime with Endwalker early access. I raised my Dancer’s level from 80 to 84, nearly halfway to the new level 90 cap. Along with my NPC friends, I toppled the tower of a trio of witchy sisters. I’ve explored exotic foreign lands, fought in brilliant battles, and murdered strange and glorious new creatures. But so far my favorite moment is when my friends surprised me with a late-night feast.
For those who don’t play Final Fantasy XIV, the MMO features a cast of supporting characters who’ve worked with my character, the legendary Warrior of Light, since the game re-launched in 2012. Players tend to get attached to characters like twins Alisaie and Alphinaud Leveilleur, or Shadowbringers newcomer G’raha Tia, the red-haired cat lad. A new expansion isn’t just about new adventures, powers, and gear. It’s a chance to catch up with our friends. To that end, this little repast is just perfect.
The scene takes place in Old Sharlayan, city of scholars, one of the first new cities visited in Endwalker. What do they eat in a town where everyone studies all the time? Why, exactly what I used to eat when I studied: garbage. Look at this spread. There are a couple of salads, sure, but then there is pizza, doughnuts, cookies, pie, cupcakes, and of course, massive, delicious-looking burgers.
