  1. Samurai Meteor for me is a B tier, or A tier at best. What keeps him from going higher may be the choice of hair. The cool factor and slightly grizzled look is why he deserves higher than a D.

    Shadowbringers had me mildly parched, Endwalker had me heating up and now I'm very thirsty for Dawntrail dilflander.

  2. This is the video I never asked for, but always wanted.
    Good job, and thank you for your service! 😛

    Personal ranking:
    DT
    SB (monk)
    ^^It's the swagger^^
    ShB <— Heroically dark
    Hw <— Fierce and resolute
    EW <— more tired than heroic
    ARR <— Unburdened by expectation, fresh faced hero
    SB (Samurai) <— too clean cut
    1.0 <– Absolute baby-face! (cute, not hot)

  3. its a bit unfair for the End Walker version. there is a reason between the contrast of an angry and bitter Paladin. he feel like he need to save the world. he want to save the world, yet he feel betrayed, by Hydalin, by the very people he is trying to save. but he must press on, because he is the warrior of light. at that point, he feel like his responsibility is more of a burden and a curse, more than ever before, that is why is is so angry and bitter even as a Paladin.
    this pay off in the subsequence trailer of Dawn Trail when he no longer feel the weight of responsibility and is now final free of burden. he returned to his old self, an adventure, while carry the experience he learn though out the year.

  4. i find cute how he wears the same cloak he has since HW on EW and DT makes me think that it has a lot of sentimental value. has been through thick and thin, tattered and seen better days. Beloved so much that he's willing to just mend it every time it's torn.

  5. As a closeted Meteor simp I saw the title and thumbnail and my first thought was "Is this a personal attack by the youtube algorithm?"

    This is the most wholesome cursed video I have seen in a long time. This is incredible. Thank you.

  6. Here's my ranking:

    Twink: Final Fantasy XIV Online (1.0)
    Twunk: A Realm Reborn
    Twonk: Heavensward
    Otter: Stormblood
    Dilf: Shadowbringers
    Bear: Endwalker
    Daddy: Dawntrail

    No, I will not elaborate on this. But I will take arguments over where he truly belongs.

  7. yes he is hot. as a gay man can confirm. BUT hot in the sense that he's like vanilla ice cream, ok in most circumstances but not what I crave when I wanna indulge myself. give me more options like estinien, raubahn or magnai

  8. Now THIS is quality content and besides EW wol i agree. And stormblood having sharing a tier with SHB and D tier really shows how good it was in patch content and how horrible the release of it was. And yes DT wol is that sexy dante like adventure with no burdens or care in the world. I hope we get hair like that in game if not already
