  1. As someone who has reached the end (mostly) and knows how a lot of the pieces fit together, watching you bash and smash them trying to get them to connect is unendingly hilarious. Exceedingly excited to see you guys continue playing, and have fun at FanFest

  2. Might be a silly request but I hope you guys splice together a compilation of all these video intros or something. They're really good, and I love seeing both of your WoLs appearing together in key scenes.

  3. I was talking to the GG discord peeps in the current stream spoiler chat about this, but the meeting scene is one of my favorite SHB moments because I was invested in the idea of the crystal braves in ARR, so having that collapse got me even more invested.

    So finally actually EARNING this with everything the player and Alphinaud have been through was such an incredible feeling, one of the few times I’d want my Highlander to be capable of emoting a bit more with those dead facial muscles.

  4. Regarding the Titan hat: I think the implication so far has been that Titan itself isn't terrible, but that the primal Titan, conjured through summoning magics, is a bad time. Kind of like how "Primal Bahamut" is a raging monster, but a lot of the dragons know Bahamut itself to be more than that—or how Ysale could incarnate as some version of Shiva, but Hraesvelgr knew that wasn't the "real" Shiva. The implication is that the kobolds will still worship Titan, but aren't going to summon the primal incarnation of Titan because they understand the latter isn't REALLY Titan. Their religion is okay; summoning is not.

  5. While overall I liked the patch, the ending duty/cutscenes almost felt like purely a marketing ploy, which is fairly strange. By this point we had already received a decent amount of information regarding 6.0 (which in itself I think it's weird to release story information of a future expansion before the previous even wraps up). It was like they were trying to generate hype for Endwalker by putting a trailer-like advertisement scenario in the game, rather than just letting the story tell itself.

  6. Man, I teared up just watching your two characters on the cutscene watching the moon together… What a beautiful detail! Sharing such a journey! Happy for you guys, and thank you for sharing it with us!

  7. The colour of the moon being changed is actually something that's not exclusive to the game but can be seen irl as well.
    Colour, size and to some extent the form that we see depends on atmosphere and on where the moon, sun and earth is in relation to eachother. The moon is often red while in Earths shadow. Just saying, while this is a fantasy, its not impossible for the devs to have gone for real life science for this one xD.

  8. This intro is seriously the best one you've done so far, and that's saying something! My SO and I are so excited to see you guys walk through the rest of the story, but first, enjoy fan fest!

  9. "I have been assimilated" the FF14 player experience taking its course, now the last step is to watch others react to MSQ like Jesse and many others

  10. No spoilers But…I didn’t realize that Shadowbringers referred to the thing in Endwalker as “the Dreamer”. What a good reference. Ishikawa and Kojifox are too good 🙂

  11. I'm personally quite giddy at the opening of this video for an obnoxiously selfish reason. I honestly got frustrated at Garrett early on in Shadowbringers because of him saying he didn't think Insatiable was a good song- even though it's definitely top 3 dungeon boss themes for me. I genuinely got emotional on the last boss of final dungeon because I knew it was the last time I'd hear it as part of my MSQ journey. So to see it slowly grow on him over his playthrough to the point where it was used for a tribute montage in the final MSQ video warms my heart.

  12. There is one solo duty I am really looking forward to seeing the boys experience, and especially how Garrett reacts to it. I eagerly await a breakdown video on said solo duty, for in my opinion, I believe it to be the absolute pinnacle of "video game" in the truest sense of the term.

  13. The scene with the twins and their father was the thing that cemented for me that time has actually been passing. The way it's written here is very much "parent does not understand that their children have grown up", and it's great. (My personal guess for timeline is a couple years for ARR + patch content, and then a year for HW, a year for Stormblood, and about six months for Shadowbringers.)
    It also makes Alisae's very clear thing for the WoL a lot less creepy, and a lot more natural feeling.

    And watching Kyle guess things and be almost right on some stuff and then wtf-inducingly wrong on others will never cease to be entertaining.

  14. I love how you guys were able to splice the two of you together to look like Val and Tuna were actually standing together in the ending scenes. It made it look so much more awesome!

  15. Keep in mind, we've known for this entire time what people have been summoning have been creations based on their imagination. Tiamat tried to bring back Bahamut, but what she got wasn't him. Ysayle tried to become Shiva, but it wasn't really Shiva. So there is no reason for the beast tribes to give up their religions because what they were summoning were vengeful shades and not their actual gods. Titan didn't hurt the kobolds. The kobolds hurt themselves by trusting Ascians.
