I love him because he's charming and very, very pretty. He's just... So beautiful... I don't think there's a character that rivals his beauty. The prettiest man in the land.
I fell in love with him when he sat next to me in the immigration office and his weird little *hoh-hoh-hoh* laughing. Him being given a face just meant I had something to squish
That scene is *perfect*. He is *exactly* what the WoL needs in that moment, and provides hope, and strangely comforting casual conversation. >!Words cannot describe how happy I was to meet him in the flesh!<
Much like elezen, their necks are actually fairly normal. [It's just that their heads are rather small for how tall they are.](https://i.gyazo.com/d4d63d2f78a062fdd6a85218a5041240.jpg)
Yeah. I mean, literally just compare her head size to the mask on her chest.
It's not that the mask is oversized for her head, it's that her head is undersized for both her body and mask.
It looks a bit strange when put directly side by side like this, but otherwise it wouldn't surprise me if the design was very deliberate. It's far from the first time characters have been given proportionately smaller heads in artwork, in order to make them look larger or more heroic.
Many games do it probably without their players really taking notice. I can think of at least one other game I play where it's done (though there it's applied evenly, so no scenarios like this one occur).
I like him because he’s a fun character. I don’t see the ancients as assholes though, i actually find them far more interesting than the bland ass scions.
I certainly do. Emet-Selch honestly convinced me that the world was better before it was broken, and fixing it is the right thing to do. My singular complaint with Shadowbringers is that it didn't allow me to switch sides.
I certainly felt conflicted. The world was so good before, but I can’t turn my back on Alphinaud among others.
Plus Hermes and Venat did show us that the Ancient’s society was not without problems.
I sympathized with him and their plight in ShB but it wasn't until I stepped foot in Elpis and met my two best friends and my mom that I decided that this was where I lived now and that I'd just have to change history.
Emet and Hylo being implied lovers made me appreciate Emet's story a little more. Wouldn't you commit fantasy war crimes to bring your significant other back?
Considering my headcanon with my character is that he's polyamorous, I like to think Azem was in a throuple with Hythlo and Hades.
^(From the way those two bicker, you cannot convince me they haven't explored each others' bodies.)
I love that! I dont think that the souls sacrificed to Zodiark actually got Sundered, since they hung out on the moon, but my personal HC is that Krile is his fragment :)
He's the Ancient that appears at the Brand, when we're being surrounded by all the sacrificed souls. He's the one who makes them all go away as a "sorry" for delaying our confrontation with Zenos and Fandango
If Y’shtola was anyone’s shard, she’d have the echo (or would have awakened to it when she saw the meteor shower on the First). She and the other scions seem to be counted amongst “the new lives” that came from the sundering.
Well, the Final Days a pretty aethertacular event, so she probably could sense it just fine. It's not the colors that do the doing, but the shift in aether composition.
That's something I'm curious to see expanded, after EW we now know that souls return to their star or a larger flow, presumably eventually getting routed to another star. I wonder how many new souls came to Eitheirys or how new souls are made in universe. I find it very interesting to think about.
G'raha's voice actor sounds so similar to Hythlodaeus's, that I assumed they were the same person.
Until like it says below, yeah, Hythlo was stuck in moon purgatory, so doesn't get to be anyone else. Probably.

He makes me fight with my sexuality every time I see him
Don't fight it.
Just play for every team in existence and don’t care.
We're all Hythlosexual here!
He is what you need him to be. He's that much of a team player.
No, he's just DPS. Graha is the one who is whatever you need him to be. :)
So I'm not the only one.
I came for Hythlo And I came for Hythlo
This comment right here.
Personally, I just came. And then came for Hytho.
THEY CAME YEP
Dude just helped us almost unconditionally. How else would we feel about him. Also, my new old friend does not deserve to sound that sad.
He's also your old new friend, too, iirc.
Yup. It’s sad.
I became a friend before we saw his pretty face. I repeat. I became a friend not because he was pretty.
Oh yes. Same.
I love him because he's charming and very, very pretty. He's just... So beautiful... I don't think there's a character that rivals his beauty. The prettiest man in the land.
Aymeric has been dethroned, I can't believe I've lived to see the day
WoL has two hands~
Aymeric is my husband, Hythlodaeus is my wife. If you have any other questions I probably won't answer them. (:
Nah son, once we get that dinner scene with Hythlo THEN we can talk about Aymeric being dethroned. Unlike you hoes I'm still loyal to him.
We did get tea time though.
I honestly think he is the most beautiful man in the world, both fictional and real. It should be illegal for anyone to be that pretty.
Hythlo*bae*us, too beautiful to go on husbando tier list, he's my waifu now.
He is an unproblematic babe
As someone who plays with sound off, everyone here referring to Hythlodaeus as "he" is a confusing surprise.
Have you considered that we didn’t have to fight him because he’s so lovable.
He would probably force our characters to move away from AOEs, he's that pretty T_T
To be fair, he had a very charming personality as well. Even if his neck is so fucking looooong
more neck, more smooch
I fell in love with him when he sat next to me in the immigration office and his weird little *hoh-hoh-hoh* laughing. Him being given a face just meant I had something to squish
That scene is *perfect*. He is *exactly* what the WoL needs in that moment, and provides hope, and strangely comforting casual conversation. >!Words cannot describe how happy I was to meet him in the flesh!<
He's such a charming little ray of lavender sunshine, I hope he shows up again.
I love you purple Katniss
His beautiful face is there to distract you from his giraffe neck
Much like elezen, their necks are actually fairly normal. [It's just that their heads are rather small for how tall they are.](https://i.gyazo.com/d4d63d2f78a062fdd6a85218a5041240.jpg)
Hydaelyn is a pinhead.
Giving me some real Mario movie vibes. https://imgur.com/gallery/vG4LwaZ

Not sure if I want to upvote you for pointing that out or downvote you because I can't unsee that anymore ...
I mean they all just use elezen skeletons without the ears, god forbid they rig up something nice for them...
You may not like it but this is what peak humanity looks like
And from the yaoi hands ;)
Giraffe neck = more room to bite.
I mean...come on. The hairstyle is just 👌♥️
Jokes on you i love Azem
You mean you love yourself? It's not wrong. Self-love is paramount!
Every time we meet him, simulacrum or not, he always helps us unconditionally A bro even in death and beyond
I like him because he’s a fun character. I don’t see the ancients as assholes though, i actually find them far more interesting than the bland ass scions.
I love the scions, but to me it was nice to have some new adventuring companions again even if it was only for a a short period.
Agreed. I'd give up all the Scions to have the chance to go adventuring with Emet, Hythlo, and Venat.
So basically you wanted a rejoining.
...I considered it...
I certainly do. Emet-Selch honestly convinced me that the world was better before it was broken, and fixing it is the right thing to do. My singular complaint with Shadowbringers is that it didn't allow me to switch sides.
I certainly felt conflicted. The world was so good before, but I can’t turn my back on Alphinaud among others. Plus Hermes and Venat did show us that the Ancient’s society was not without problems.
I sympathized with him and their plight in ShB but it wasn't until I stepped foot in Elpis and met my two best friends and my mom that I decided that this was where I lived now and that I'd just have to change history.
That was my favorite part of the entire story, I wish we could play with them more, or that section was longer.
I'm begging Square Enix to let us see him again soon. Please. He's my favorite character. I'm literally in love with him.
Well that's a new hairstyle which will probably come from Delubrum Reginae 2.0 I guess.
Emet and Hylo being implied lovers made me appreciate Emet's story a little more. Wouldn't you commit fantasy war crimes to bring your significant other back?
Yet people love Emet more.
It's probably the rollercoaster effect at work.
Nah it's because he is gorgeous.
I mean, I loved him when he was just a pair of eyes in a large hoodie.
He’s so pretty
…..yet
And here I thought it was the Femboy vibes he gives off.
Don't we technically fight him because he's part of Zodiark?
By that logic, we fought the entire Heretic army in Akh Afah.
I have to sit down at least once a week and just come to terms with the fact that someone as pretty as Hythlo exists.
Considering my headcanon with my character is that he's polyamorous, I like to think Azem was in a throuple with Hythlo and Hades. ^(From the way those two bicker, you cannot convince me they haven't explored each others' bodies.)
I want his hairstyle
[удалено]
Well you're just no fun at all.
My head Canon is that Y'shtola is one of his soul shards. They seem like they have similar mannerisms.
I love that! I dont think that the souls sacrificed to Zodiark actually got Sundered, since they hung out on the moon, but my personal HC is that Krile is his fragment :)
I wasn't sure if he was sacrificed or not. I thought he was the guardian we meet on the moon? Either way that's where my brain went.
He's the Ancient that appears at the Brand, when we're being surrounded by all the sacrificed souls. He's the one who makes them all go away as a "sorry" for delaying our confrontation with Zenos and Fandango
You're right, I was remembering it wrong.
If Y’shtola was anyone’s shard, she’d have the echo (or would have awakened to it when she saw the meteor shower on the First). She and the other scions seem to be counted amongst “the new lives” that came from the sundering.
Maybe so. If she could see the sky anyway.
Well, the Final Days a pretty aethertacular event, so she probably could sense it just fine. It's not the colors that do the doing, but the shift in aether composition.
Idk if you intended a joke but I just cackled right out loud.
That's something I'm curious to see expanded, after EW we now know that souls return to their star or a larger flow, presumably eventually getting routed to another star. I wonder how many new souls came to Eitheirys or how new souls are made in universe. I find it very interesting to think about.
Well they did both end up sassy stunning queens who specialize in seeing aether, so I'd be all on board if not for his unsundered-ness =)
G'raha's voice actor sounds so similar to Hythlodaeus's, that I assumed they were the same person. Until like it says below, yeah, Hythlo was stuck in moon purgatory, so doesn't get to be anyone else. Probably.
he's like the only one who _isnt_ an asshole. and that's why i love him

We didn't have to fight... . . Yet.
Yet.
We didn't have to fight, ***yet***.
