Thank you to my guests and thank you for listening in to our ramblings! Endwalker closes a massive chapter for FFXIV but a new one is about to begin later this year. Lets talk about some of the things rattling about in our brains as we wait for Dawntrail and all it has to offer!

I like how in FF14 a persons glamour speaks so much to their personality and way of thinking 🙂
Imo this is the place to be. XI and XiV have stellar communities.
"beach episode" expansion is a terrible mistake imo. it's the definition of meaningless filler and having the official stance being that this expansion will be nothing but filler has already, from the get go, lowered the importance of the xpac.
ask anyone what their favorite part of an anime is and im willing to bet "the beach episode" is not an answer. It already feels like the "skippable" expansion just like beach episodes are skippable.
…also the girl at the top of the key art is Beatrix, im not kidding, compare the 2.
Dawntrail doesn't look like it's going to be anything more than the same mismanagement and bland content of Endwalker. Reminds me of SE when they launched 1.0.
The sub isn't even worth it anymore because there's so much more value in WoW now because it has several games for the same sub, plus in game items to choose from.
I'm a 1.0 player that stuck with the game and I'm pissed they're falling back into their old ways.
I haven't heard it talked about much, but if its not Allagan or Ascian, the technologically advanced civilization that matches the color palette for Solution Nine the best is Mhach. We know they
created infrastructure based off of voidsent, and we have at least 3 instances of them building an ark to try to escape the calamity. I don't really know how Mhach slots into the DT narrative, but its worth mentioning. One of the concept images says 'Soul Supply' in proto Eorzean, so one wonders if its not really a temporal location as much as a big, Final Fantasy style San Junipero full of digitized souls.
I'm still in disbelief that the final days truly affected and ruined EVERY single possible planet with life on it… this video wasn't the first time I'm hearing it obv but the scope of that feat just feels so huge that it starts feeling unrealistic. I'm sure there has to have been surviving planets that never caught whiff of that deadly bird.
That aside, I am incredibly excited for DT!!! EW was my first expansion from start to finish because I initially joined mid-way through Shb. I really enjoyed my time and I'm also in the boat of we got enough content because I still love going back to older stuff and there's so much of it!!! I can't wait to visit all the locales of Tural and learn the new lore and characters and witness the beginning of a new arc! I'm ready to consume all of it!
Thanks for havin me fam!! <3
A lot of people seem pessimistic about the next expansion, specifically the theme itself.
I think it only makes sense to start simple again after what we went through in Endwalker and not try to be even more extravagant while losing all grounding.
I don't want the same crap that happened to WoW where they tried to make the next expansion even more grandiose than the last until existance itself lost its point.
Listening to this channel is always great, but the lopporit discussion was 100% worth my time 😂😂😂
Loporits: This boat runs on happy faces.
Wow who's that handsome elezen with the whittret :^)
Why would we need a Dyson Sphere? We already got a Little Sun at home. Lets use his fervor and loud mouth to travel the Stars, looking for desperate love!
Oh I didn't actually realize you did these podcast style things on your own channel. Very exciting. I always love hearing from Croatoan and Crystal AND omg I love FFXIV fun facts twitter, this is my first time hearing them in a thing like this. Great show!
The problem with Bozja for a lot of us was the story, yes a lot of people love 12 and tactics, but a lot of us actually hate the heavy handed writing style Matsuno. The grind for the zone is one of the best, the story was one of the most divisive. And if you hate the story pushing forward becomes that much harder. ESP in a story heavy grind. Bozja was so awful IMO I ended up hating Hrothgar entirely. I'm so glad they are having Hrothgar from the new world, so I don't automatically associate them with Bozja.
Im waiting for the launch trailer, those are always insightful
I do wanna point out that we needed the Mother crystal to go to the very end of the universe. Perhaps for Cosmic Exploration we are gonna start closer to home so such a huge source of fuel won't be required.
damn i like dynamis as a concept lol
Restoring life to a post-Endwalker universe could be a neat project like the Doman Enclave, and I already thought of how it may work.

The Endsinger said she'd been hoarding souls to add to her Song of Oblivion, but where would they go now that it's over and the other lifestreams were collapsed? Our task may be to help jump start a new lifestream with these freed souls. The Omicron quests send us to a newly formed star, and there are so many islands floating around the glowing core that we could work with.
I vaguely remember hearing that this can be done alone or as a group, which would be nice for newcomers who would otherwise miss the reconstruction process and watching the area change. It could even work the same way as the Firmament! Gatherers collect stuff (types of ether?), crafters make it into things, and all of it fills the meter to progress to the next stage. Easy to design for solo or group efforts, right?
Full map is nice but the loporitts have been asking why there's STILL a shroud over garlemald.
I do like the V&C dungeons, but in a way they are just 1.0 mega dungeon regions (the ones used to get the 1.0 relic weapons) in an upgraded more modern form. I'd LOVE if the ones in 7.0 ended up being tied to relic weapons, like the old old days.
How about you all introduce yourselves?
Bugs Bunny No~ x3
The Manderville Questline ALSO pointed out it was possible to have primals that did not consume ether and cause trouble and temper people? .. so not the first time that they hid really important lore in there.
If Dawntrail ends up weak like EW then I have to move on from 14 cause post 6.0 EW killed my vibe fully!
My hot takes are that Endwalker is better than Shadowbringers and that Stormblood is better than Hevansward.
Wait waiy wait. I swear 9 ways to sunday that fran stated she had placed ashe in stasis when you are in one of the ivalice cutscenes dealing with trying to get into a sp3cific place.
It's fresh in my mind, since my wife was just doing the msq that touches on it yesterday. The loporites have cracked space travel, just not on a scale that would be useful to the Ragnarock. The moon is a colony ship made for interplanetary exploration, and colonization, the Ragnarock is a "Teeny tiny toy boat" made to go from earth to the moon, and refuel on both ends. We needed the mother crystal to take it to the edge of space. I would not be surprised if, now that EW's issues are solved, the loporites have successfully miniaturized their engines for smaller crafts, especially with access to omicron tech from Ultima Thule.
So I’m totally not of the same mind as her.. she says she likes that there wasn’t as much to do and she’s taking a break… ff4 wasn’t good and she still has all these things to do from old content.. it’s all over the place. Almost like she “doesn’t” want to play ffxiv. Just a little confused.
We always want more content, FF4 was awesome, Criterion dungeons are what we asked for but, what for? Rewards as well as a good time. If there is more still to do, go do it. Someone that takes months breaks at a time is always going to be glad there isn’t to much content because they will not feel they missed out and will avoid FOMO.
39:40 You best believe as a monk main i was thrilled at that scene. I had the biggest grin on my face and just thought to myself "You done fucked up now Zenos " To make things even better i happened to be using the emperor's new fist glam so i was using straight hands the entire time.
Around 48:45 I love the Marderville storyline… BUT I HATE THIS PLOT TWIST! This wasn't necessary, just leave it at the gag comedy it was, we didn't needed a canon reason for the stuff we see, as someone who loves lore and stories, there is a limit to everything… Explaining the Marderville's ridiculous physical strength wasn't necessary.
Around 1:03:20 Solution 9 is actually an attack, not a terminology in FF IX, especifically it's Zidane's strongest single target attack that can only be used when he is in Trans (Which this is a pain to use in bosses), instead of having the attack Thievery, he obtains Solution 9. Which inside the game it's a reference to this game being the n°9 game of the franchise.
Sailing through the cosmos fuelled by DYNAMIS dice 😂😂
Shouldn't it be "creators" in the title?
Thank you so much for inviting me to this round table! I had a great time discussing the upcoming expansion with everyone! The Lopporrit voices was peak 😂
Couldn't recapture the first fight? Can't you just NG+ it?
