Man, Shadowbringers patch 5.5 though… What an absolute rollercoaster of feels. Never thought I’d get the best laugh in the game so far from ESTINIEN of all people! Absolute gold 😅

Also FORDOLA GOD DAMN IT. Been waiting for this return! Wanted to ball all of 5.5 into 1 video… then edited this video, and saw there was still 2.5 hours of material left to go thanks to patch 5.55 😂 Wrapping stuff up tomorrow, then I'll meet ya'll in the waiting room!
One of my favorite scenes in 5.5; confused big bro Estinien is amazing, Lol! Coupled with Alisae and G’raha’s reactions, this really does flesh the crew out so well! xD
Coming to the end of your journey, its been a great ride!
As someone who finished the game awhile back its nice watching your journey
and getting a refresher on the story in time for Endwalker.
EDIT: Also Endwalker trailer….i cant wait till you see it!!!
Omg Vimto beam hahahahaha
I am also not Alphinaud
Alisaie is one of the most expressive characters in the game, I swear to the twelve! xD
9:21 Okay but why is this so goddamn adorable, thanks Sophie
18:00 – "Tom & Sophie almost witness a murder"
I am not Alphinaud!!!
– Alisaie, 2021
My favorite scene in this patch <3
This is my theory. Remember Emet-Selch’s dialogue options if you talk to him. He says it’s not wholly impossible to raise unrelated souls to office, just that they don’t make for the most loyal of servants to Zodiark. I suspect Fandaniel was a different soul raised to office that wasn’t a sundered fragment of the original Fandaniel. Not to mention when you pick up Fandaniel’s crystal in the tempest, it seemed defective or incomplete. The dialogue was choppy when we heard it. So it could be a different Fandaniel that’s been corrupted. Without the Unsundered to leash the remaining Ascians, he’s entirely free. But that begs the question as to where the remaining sundered Ascians are or what they’re doing?
almost there the final stretch
Can't wait for the Endwalker reactions. Are we going to have Tom & Soph cam?
Theres a short story of how tataru and krile found, hunted down, and forced our dragoon buddy to team up.
If you look closely at Fandaniel when he gives his speech, he winks at you when he mentions being a "sovereign individual". If you know what it means, you'd realize he made an ironic joke.
"I FEEL SO UNSAFE RIGHT NOW!"
I am adding that to my lexicon.
Fordola just can’t handle that someone cared about her enough to sacrifice himself for her. She’s never had that in her life. Only known how to serve and serve alone. Something she doesn’t want to go back to but she also won’t admit it. She still suffers with the aftermath of losing to WoL and being captured/recruited by the scions despite her atrocities. A kindness she can’t repay as far as she’s concerned and now arenvald, perhaps she finds it easier to lash out and push Alphi away that he might follow a different path and be safer than if he picks up the sword against the empire. Who knows.
When I saw the "twice as rugged" when I did this bit I literally said "Oh shit" out loud. It's hard to believe how much depth and development she's gotten since that scene in a starter city's Inn/Adventurers Guild when she split with Alphy to go her own way back in ARR.
And look at her sulk at 22:46. That is prime sulking right there.
STORY TIME!!!
Back in the Beta phase 3, when they first opened up the map for us to explore, me and 3 others were exploring La Noscea and we got to the floating city there. It was spectacular, we called the FC(might have been a linkshell) and about 50 of us gathered at that spot( on Gilgamesh) and sat there for more than an hour about every this game was going to be. We speculated about the story, talked about the classes and the zones, traded tips and tricks. It was an amazing moment. In phase 4 most of us found each other and joined the same FC for launch and I'm still friends with those first three today.
SE was watching everything we did during the beta and I can't help but wonder if this influenced their decision to put the first tower here, but for me, it was an incredible nod to the journey I've taken and the friends I've made along the way. One final glance back before the end.
imagine getting mad that someone mistakes you for your brother that you for some reason look EXACTLY the same as….smh lol
Slayer of many primals, kicker of several Ascian asses but no matter how powerful you become, you stand no chance against the almighty Server Disconnect.
I was so looking forward to your reaction to Estinien, Alisae and Gra’ha. Definitely one of the highlights of the expansion imho.
I think it’s interesting that Estinien defended Alphinaud’s idealism. If it wasn’t for him making the first move to try removing Nidhogg’s from his armour, the WoL might have took Estinien up on his offer to kill him.
We want more , we want more!
In regards to the Ishgard scene you referenced, yes, it was Graha researching the best time to travel to in order to save the first and source, not Lord Fortemps, but remember what was said about how long it took for them to figure out how to open the crystal tower and wake its guardian. The world had fallen into chaos with Black Rose devastating so many and those left becoming savage, you can hear the battles ravaging Ishgard in the background. That scene was long past anyone we currently know being alive aside from the cat that slept through time. 🙂
Note Alphinaud's arc. How his doubt in himself has been rising ever since the Crystal Braves incident. How his doubt in his abilities is starting to eat at him. All of that is definitely leading to his inevitable job change in Endwalker.
Well it's good while it last, been a pleasure watching you guys and rewatching the stories before EW. I like to imagine the WoL is a husband and wife with you guys, it's really interesting premise. Anyway enjoy other stuffs in the game.
nooooo dc'd 🙁
Personally, I prefer "Fandingus", though I have also used "Fandickhead", "Fandumbass" and "Fandouchebag". I can't wait to slap the shit out of him in Endwalker.
We reached the part where we don't know the answers to your questions anymore 🙂
Can't wait for the next videos and trailer reaction :D:D
With Fandaniel and Zenos, I kind of expect Zenos to get stabbed in the back or something and Fandaniel to be the real threat in Endwalker, despite his theatrics. Kind of like how in Naruto, Kabuto is secondary to Orochimaru, and ultimately stabs said boss in the back. Because we still don’t know the cause of the original Calamity, and my theory is the Fandaniel or someone like him initiated it and this is just round two.
You've got some time now to work on the pixie Beast Tribe quests if you'd like. It's a great little storyline with excellent rewards (and a completely new area that gets unlocked as you help them), and great bonus XP if you have any classes in the level 70+ range you want to work on before EW.
Every time I hear Arenvald's voice in English, I hear Ardbert. From Heavensward onward, they share the same English voice actor, Joe Dempsie.
(Liverpool-born Dempsie's very Scottish family name comes from his Scottish father.)
I love how Sophie has essentially adopted Ryne and Alisaie, lol
Fanboy Graha is the best.
So much character development for Alphinaud and Estinien seen right there. Really makes you realize how the great the writing is in this game. It's story is driven by its characters, their struggles and triumphs, and built around them in a natural way. Unlike some other games where people's personalities change at the drop of a hat to fit the plot, even if it makes no sense, so they feel like they have zero development at all.
We need the second part ASAP! Loved it!
