Organizing and preparing everything for my biggest story telling series in the channels history has been a lot of work, but it all starts with this! I felt like I just had to do something for all the new Xbox players we may be getting and this is my attempt to welcome them in with open arms! When the hype dies down I’ll change the title card, so if you don’t see the words Xbox anywhere, I’m saying hello from the past!

Welcome to FF14 our XBox sprouts! Never be shy to ask for help, most of our community is happy to do so!
i actually welcome the new guys from the xbox
Incredible transitions, and a great foundation of lore starting out! Will 100% send this to someone, though you forgot to mention the Rogue class in Limsa. Not a hard addition but nonetheless omitted, I assume by mistake. Love your work man! Keep it up!
EDIT: apparently Rogue comes later and I totally forgot! Thanks for the reminder.
Welcome new friends! A world awaits and most will be happy to help how we can in your adventures
This was a great synopsis, Scribe.
Yeahh ARR needs some rewrites to make sense now huh?
Phenomenal video, Ser Scribe.
Welcome to the world of Eorzea new sprouts~!
Great synopsis!
This is hilarious because idgaf bout any story in my games i play 🙃🤭
Never skip a cutscene or suffer the lack of context for the rest of the story. At your own risks.
Gridania: I mean, there's the racism undertow between the wildwood Elezen, the Duskwight Elezen and the keeper's of the moon, but otherwise yeah, it's pretty chill.
Welcome to Eorzea.
I keep forgetting Rogue isn't a starting class.
There was a spicy dragon center in that red moon!
As expected, this will now be my go-to lore primer for new adventurers. Before watching, I was concerned that it would spend overmuch time on the 1st-4th Astral Eras, as another lore creator has done. I was surprised that details of each era were omitted altogether, mayhaps for the best as the lecture to keep the seminar from becoming overlong.
I appreciate pointing out the progressions from classes to jobs. But maybe a reference to the race video series would also be helpful: personally, I wish I had known more about each people and their typical names before I started playing. As it stood, my main character has a half-joke name containing real-world references (that nevertheless is appropriate for gender and clan).
2:16 I always thought that your induction into the Scions implied that the Echo marked you as a chosen of Hydaelyn, and not Her making you Her champion because you possess the Echo. Perhaps I was influenced by the official forums in thinking so. But now I've went back and looked at the dialogue, it seems to lend neither theory credence.
Welcome aboard new Friends!
The wonderful world of FF14 awaits! May you walk in the light of the Crystal
Thank you for this our Lore Master Synodic Scribe! I'd like to welcome our fellow Warriors of Light from Xbox! Our FFXIV family & now yours will gladly help you out whenever you need it! May The Light of the Mother Crystal forever keep you in her Grace!

Me with “To be continued” in the corner of his screen: Hmmm yes fascinating.

I’ll get to sit around and tell stories of for almost a decade we played the same 2 fights between either fighting the ultimate weapon or some goons everyday for story roulettes

"Wow, we're fighting Ifrit! A real summon"
Me: 😒 PFFFF, the proper term is PRIMAL! Get it together N00B!
" 😦 …….."
Me: Oh, and could you kindly turn tank stance on? I can explain the concept better to you if you want 🙂
Welcome Xbox Warriors Of Light!

5:19 — Not quite correct… The Ascians used their magics to blend in and deceive and manipulate men to do their bidding. Though they must have been seen as black robed men with masks for them to be recorded at all, but more often than not, they would hide in plain sight. – At least thats what I understand from reading about 1.0 …
8:00 — And the amount of incorporeal Aether within your body ^^°
Thumbs up – a very rounded up summary ^.^
When you said Merlwyb, you sounded like a murloc
