NG+ Project
What is this project?
When I began playing FFXIV as a sprout, I had no idea what I was doing. I didn't even play ARR with Misago! I got to the end credits of 2.0, used my fantasia, and never looked back. But it meant I didn't know who Misago was as a character for most of the ARR patches, and much of early HW. He was simply my way to experience the story. After catching up in MSQ and falling in love with the story and world, I wanted to revisit him as a character and explore his development and story—and there's no better way for me to express and share that story than through gpose! While his story has taken many twisty turns over the course of this multi-year project, I have tried to preserve as many elements and moments from my original playthrough as possible.More About the NG+ Project:
· Most shots are vanilla/console gpose with light editing in photoshop (fixing things like color, contrast, and clipping mostly).
· Much of the dialogue is taken from the game.
· While I try to be as lore-accurate as possible, this is my head canon for Misago, so some things are altered and/or added along the way. This is a transformative work heavily based on MSQ as presented.
· Yes, there's glam lore. In a massive spreadsheet. I have tried to preserve some iconic looks/pieces from my first-time run through MSQ and otherwise tried to keep glams accurate for level/availability, the main exception being weapons. Sometimes I cheat with an item here or there, but they're close.
· This project includes all of MSQ and all yellow side-quests as they unlock alongside (though many are not mentioned). Side content (raids, trial series, etc.) can be assumed that they took place at their appropriate times, but I'm not including those stories here.
· Everything from ARR → StB 4.55 uses old graphics. ShB 5.0 is the first part of the project with updated DT graphics!
· Best enjoyed with familiarity of FFXIV's story and lore. This isn't a minute-by-minute recounting of the story—there will be gaps and missing moments.
· Links below will be added as I update AO3 & Bsky. (~1 shot per day, so this will take a while!) The abridged bsky feeds will omit most cutscene shots and cutscene-only moments, as well as most of the text/accompanying writing, for a leaner, gpose-focused experience.
· Comments are open on both AO3 & Bsky! Feel free to interact as much as you'd like!
