  1. My favorite little bit about In From The Cold is that, it's not a random Garlean soldier they stick you in.

    It's the same one Zenos possessed back in Stormblood.

  2. There are some parts that I like to talk about, but I’ll say this, at 14:40 I didn’t expect Zenos would invite us to dinner like that lol. He be like: “You don’t call, you don’t write, how else am I suppose to get your attention.”

  3. I hated the solo duty in this part with the passion of a gazillion suns. I am not looking forward to when my alt gets to this point eventually. Other than that sour note I couldn't stop giggling at how ridiculous the whole dinner thing was, especially with Fandaniel being the butler. I do have to admit it was kinda fun seeing what an 'evil' version of my WoL would look like…

  4. This is my favorite moment of Endwalker and one of my favorite of the entire MSQ: Surrounded by explosives, a stack marker appears on you, and Garlean citizens rush in to stack. It’s storytelling via mechanics to a degree this game has never done before and it gets me every time I watch someone do this part.

  5. I still can't believe that I managed to complete that instance on my first try while being in complete distress; I had to mentally calm myself down because I was getting frustrated on finding that damn key (I had 6 mins left on the clock when I cleared it).

    When G'raha and Alisaie approached my character, I was crying while repeatedly saying, "Please stay back, please stay back!"

    It was a horrific in game experience and yet, I enjoyed it XD
    Zenos (also Fandango, but mostly Zenos) is on my shitlist forevermore for doing that.

  6. Well… at least Zenos took you to dinner before he got all up inside you. LMFAO XD
    Yeah, that sequence really tripped me out and the time limit didn't help.
    I also like that if you think about it Zenos could have fucked up the Scions but he didn't. He's just trying to rile you up so that way when you fight again you won't hold back. Still damn Zenos that combat-sexual bastard! LOL
    I enjoy watch all of your reactions. I am very much looking forward to more. ^.^

  7. It's weird just how divisive the solo duty is amongst people. I thought it was brilliant – not only was it a unique challenge, but it really highlights how powerful the WoL is in-universe by making you NOT THAT, at a time when it's really, really inconvenient to say the least. It's like the game wants you to prove, to yourself and to it, that you're more than your OP protagonist character. It puts a lot of genuine pressure on you to get it done in time, AND it beats all the other sneaking missions by giving you a more natural incentive than 'do it or you fail'. You don't have to be sneaky…but you really, really, really should.

    It was such a great and memorable moment of the MSQ, and I adore it. <3

  8. Mhm…things absolutely got worse…and the avalanche is not going to stop very soon…

    …and…this entire scene, the accompanying instance, and the cutscene following it, all made things get very close for comfort, in terms of emotional output.

    And because of all of this, because of everything he enabled, and everything that he’s directly caused, both through this and before this…I HATED Amon, with a bloodthirsty grudge of vengeance, even swearing the most violent of punishments upon the b*stard’s 1s and 0s, because of it.

    Easily the most I’ve ever hated a video game character in my entire life, and it’s all to perfect execution. No forgiveness to Fandaniel, and no mercy for Amon. That was what I swore.

    Yet, despite all of this…things only escalate over time.

  9. There were a lot of more spectacular moments in EW but none of them match the gritty everyday experience you felt here as a garlean soldier. The amount of dread you feel from being "mortal" is so fantastic and was needed tbh 'cause we be OP af. Anyhow to be able to take that experience and sow the story and gameplay into such a unique amalgamation every single damn time, It leaves me speechless. This duty had us like .. Oh… Shit, oh shit, OH SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SSSHHHIIITTTTTTTTT. :O

    OHHH OK…

  10. 想像以上に自分使われるの辛かったなぁ。FF14でも一番の鬱展開になった。うちは特に女の子だし、ゼノスに使われるとかきついどころじゃなかったよ!

  11. The only thing I didn't like about the instance was the fact that the map was useless because there were no waypoints to orient yourself. I loved being really weak and having to depend on med packs. I didn't mind having to sneak around and avoid fights because I was super weak. What I didn't like was wandering around aimlessly because everything looked the bloody same and I couldn't remember where I had and hadn't been yet to push the objective forward. I've done it twice at this point on two of my characters and that's really the main change I would make to it.
