Man, we went BIG on our predictions in this one
If you're reading this within the early hours of posting, we're finding out how right/wrong we were RIGHT NOW. Hopefully a SECOND video on the way tonight!
EDIT: MY GOD. We about to do the final trial – this is CRAZY AF
Aaaaah, I'm so excited
I have to comment before I watch it, that's how excited I am ^^
Edit: Haha, "I've come for my cat" from Sophie was just too amazing
So much good lore stuff in this one, and nice to see you were rewarded a little for your speculations so far
My excitement just keeps rising as you come closer to the end! <3
keeps hitting refresh on your channel MORE, I NEED TO SEE MORE.
I'm really happy you two are enjoying yourselves and am excited to see your reactions to the end of 5.0. You two have been truly a joy to watch and I honestly only hear "Mini" in your two voices now lol.
The moment I enter into Amaurot until the end of 5.0 was the best video game experience I ever had. I can't wait to see both of your reactions to the end. There are little details to catch on the way during the incoming cutscenes adding a lot of emotional weight to the story.
It is a bit sad that a lot of live content creators miss those details because they have to balance their attention between the game and their community interactions.
Oo, I can't wait for the next video. Thanks for the awesome reactions!
I've been loving watching you two's journey through shadowbringers! Amaurot is one of my favorite zones and the music still makes me cry when I visit there :')
Gaaaaahhhhh! That cliffhanger!
Joking aside, I'm glad that you are able to understand Emet's side of this story. There really isn't a true "villain" here.
as our dear Cobrak might say "awwwwh mahn here we gooou!" (when you try to write the accent xD)
I really love Amaurot. Usually where i afk. for the music
This is why Emet has never given up to try and rejoin all the broken shards. Ascians were vastly superior beings, who are forced to suffer ephemeral and chaotic existence.. all of the scions, your own character, were once Ascian.
Omggg. Welcome to Amaurot! It was such a wonderful city, that I spent around 30min to taking screenshots. Then Hythlodaeus dropping all this delicious lore bombs, And finally understanding more of Emet's motivations <3
Good luck fellow, "new old friend" for the battle of wills and feels with Emet.
FFXIV (Shadowbringers) deserves to be in the top 5 greatest JRPGs of all time.
And now you see why Emet always slouches, poor bastard is tired as fuck after carrying around that burden for millions of years.
Love this section.. Any it's fun getting to journey with both of ya.
There's alot of truth to Emet's side. But yeah if not for the millions needed to be killed in genocide.
But if you think about it from his side. And he mentioned this once in the Crystarium. Humanity has waged war over and over. And he has watched all those killed. Thievery, hate, murder. Continually happening forever. For centuries. For all eternity. And children dying, illiterate and hungry.
If we WIN, that will continue forever. Makes ya think.
LETS FUCKING GO!
PLEASE post your reaction to this dungeon/trial! This is sooo epic/awesome.
I think most people think Emet's recreation of Amaurot is a mind game at first. Which makes it so much more tragic when you find out that this ancient, villainous schemer in reality just made it because of how painfully he missed it and its people.
Fun fact: The name Amaurot comes from the legendary novel 'Utopia'… where it's also the name of a city.
"By the gods…" is right.
I was one of the first ppl to get this far in the story when it came out, and got to experience walking around the city alone. It was very neat.
Not to ruin the revelation but basicly everyone is a fragmented soul of an ancient. There are more and more plot point where basics of the lore you learned in ARR and Heavensward become relvant to get good context. For examble Yshtola one told you about the balance of eather in the world and that concept aplies to the world of the ancients as well.
gotta admit it kinda sucks you never got past 52 in a video on classic wow i wanted to see you atleast do some kinda of pvp montage for classic like you used to but i guess now its a bit too late for you to return. and this super hardcore react thumbnails on ffxiv tho lol i don't watch ffxiv played it but due to the lack of pvp in the game it was ultimately too boring there was still tons of pvp in classic to be had wish we got to see you try more of it
its sad thinking about how emet wanted us to die at home /along with bringing back memories
On the whole ‘god like’ ability to ‘create’ I recommend you unlock the dungeons Akadaemia Anyder and Anemesis Anyder when you can after the MSQ, they reveals how advanced these people really were.

Does the explanation help explain why Emet always looks so tired, dragging his feet and slumped over? The weight of his grief and his goals weight heavy on his shoulders, almost literally.
Also remember what you just said about the gates of hell… Just, remember.
Emet Selch and the Ascian story is just so incredibly well written, nearly everything about them, with the exception of murdering billions, is understandable. Even the calamity the ancient faced was so insanely fantastical, I wouldn't have wanted any other ending to 5.0
Natsuko Ishikawa is such a brilliant writer and shes a treasure to us all <3
NEXT VIDEO LETS GOOO!!
Nice predictions man, i loved it, you're in for a cool surprise!
Now that you've gotten here, I can ask… who do you think is the best Final Fantasy antagonist of all time and why is it Emet-Selch? ;-p I mean, like… you can't even really call him a villain after this. I totally sympathize with what he wants… he's just going about it in a super bad way.
The best is yet to come
No spoilers, only smiles. And one more for the algorithm.
Loving the content – Hoping you and the lady are enjoying the story as well.
Very excited to see your reaction for the end – and any other content you may come up with.
(Been watching since old Cobrak destruction warlock vids and love the change of pace quite honestly)
OMG OMG OMG
next episode hype!!
It make me so sad that the entire FF 15 story didn't have the same impact as Shadowbringer or even FF 14 as a whole.
The 14 is much like Organization 13 from Kingdom Hearts
I'm really enjoying seeing your reactions, love how fast the videos are coming out – it's amazing how much ShB just grabs you and doesn't put you down. Your predictions are so much fun to hear and I love your enthusiasm. I'm amazed how Amaurot inspires this feeling of deja vu in the player while still retaining something of an alien presence, it's amazingly done, and the way the ancients think you're a child is so endearing. I'm so excited to see your reactions to the trial! A side thought, since you're super into story, it might be worth trying out the dark knight questline if you don't mind tanking – it's also written by Natsuko Ishikawa who wrote the main ShB scenario and it's phenomenally written, giving your WoL more depth as a character.
BRUUUH left me hangin and shit duuuude! lol hype for last part
