Love to see it hahaha
Fun fact! Fish, like many other cold climate animals, have developed a relatively thick layer of fat to isolate themselves from the cold
💙
The GiGi voice is sooooo goooooood
It returns! I am excited!
And I love that by now the WoL is familiar with these shenanigans and knows when to step back and let nonsense unfold from a safe distance.
I've only done two and a half hildi quest stories and so far the hw one is my favorite of them.
17:00 regarding that, it’s actually highly unlikely that a lake completely freezes solid. Water is in fact densest at 4°C (39.2°F), just before it actually freezes (hence why ice always floats on water).
So what happens is that the denser non-freezing water goes to the lakebed when the lake freezes, and the fish will congregate there as well.
if my WOL was tasked with planning a wedding, it would be a disaaster because i'd be assuming my friends would be doing most of the work, except for what i was instructed to do.
While I don't care for Hildibrand too much, I enjoyed Dan and Jo's dynamic while recording the first one. If nothing else it makes for great background listening.
Huzzah! Great to have this back! Hildibrand's family is clearly the Tom Bombadil of Eorzea. 😀
"I shoot the gazebo! That's an 23 to hit after bonuses! How much damage did I do?"
"None."
"None!? … I run away."
"Too late, the Gazebo chases you down and eats you."
This one is still a fun questline, but I also found it to have one of the most endearing storylines of the game, really. I made sure to do it since the last time I saw Dan and Jocat play the first series, and I was most pleased with it. 🙂
What a fun surprise! I just started the HW Hildibrand quests myself, it's my current "waiting for queue to give me a dungeon" thing. I will die for GiGi. (also this makes it way easier to imagine Hildy's dialogue in Jocat's fantastic Hildibrand voice.)
Just to clarify, Gigi is actually pronounced with a hard G, not a soft G. Gigi is the Japanese onomatopoeia for our word "Bzzt".
Yesssssss, Hildibrand returns!
14:25 It was at this point that I donned my Heavensward Hildibrand outfit: a nice, warm, fluffy hood… and a galerus and subligar, a few metal plates attached with leather straps. I was wearing less than Godbert.
Well damn. I never expected this to return.
JoCat's back! Doing perhaps the only voice I'm more fond of hearing him do than Gelnek. This is honestly an unexpected delight; looking forward to our latest mystery!
29:18 This exchange becomes a lot funnier if your WoL, like Durmin, is themself a Lalafell.
What's better about the dread Gazebo isn't that the player was paranoid… or any more paranoid than usual, he was fully unaware of what a gazebo was, and had mistaken it for a monster. The dm described it as "A gazebo on a hill" so he didn't exactly have context. It also reminds me of one of my favorite Door Monster gags, "(Building a character without a backstory) is like a building with a roof, but no walls!" "You have just described a Gazebo."
Ah, Hildibrand. A questline of all time.
5:23 So far, I have her more in a Mayuri voice, even though it's not quite a good fit. Cockney just… nah.
6:29 I understood that reference.
7:15 There's another story from… some YT person that is equally amusing. I forget the bulk of it, but there was a player at this person's table who… was very new to D&D, to be polite. at a dungeon junction that had a Right, Back, and Forward directions… this player insisted on going *Left*. Which became a kind of in-joke. If anyone remembers it or can find it, by all means, share the comedy.
9:52 Why would he be wearing trousers? He's got that big fuzzy robe.
16:26 Godbert appears to be stripping as h gets farther out… can't say I'm surprised.
17:11 Depending on depth of water and ice, ice fishing is a thing. If it's really thick ice, you can even set up a campfire on the ice, and a little shack of tent… next to the truck you probably drove out there. In shallower water, I presume fish get caught in the freezing all the time. Dunno what happens to them.
19:49 Once again, Heavensward giving off 40k vibes. It's not quite "the Codex Astartes does not condone this action", but we're getting there.
28:35 Because you have. Mostly. It's just not an alternate reality for you.
29:48 Not what I was expecting, but equally absurd.
30:12 What fresh hell is that expression?
30:33 Post is such a powerful thing.
30:54 Cyr, I have terrible news.
31:15 Usually, that's called a concussion. Or brain damage.
31:34 That's not a thing one brags about. I mean, it explains some things, but still.
hooray! JoCat man of inquiry & inspector extraordinare returns!!
good ol' dreaded Gazebo
Yay is a Vivi!! also i love that traditional Black might as well be called Vivis
wait the Ishgardian inquisition is still a thing? so when in HeavensWard does this take place… do we need Godbert to suplex the Pope?
I was literally just thinking yesterday how much I missed Durmin's adventures and how much I hoped he was coming back! I need more of this in my life! D:
YES! So happy to have more Hildibrand with more JoCat! Also, I love that both started with finding Hildy all over again. Looking forward to the weird and wacky. 😀
I happened to pause right after Hildibrand said "We must wake him gently and assert his identity" and now Godbert's hammer is squarely in the center of the screen.
This is a great Jojo cutaway.
Trivia: Although his name is not mentioned in dialogue, the Gentle Dead Man ambassador is referred to as "Autgar Hammil" in the outro credits. From the Encyclopedia Eorzea, we know that he was a Sil'dihn mercenary, age 33 at the time of his transformation into a zombie almost 400 years ago. He spent much of that time wandering in a daze until the aftermath of the Calamity restored his mind and Hildibrand taught him the ways of dapperness.
Is there anyway I can contact you directly? I need to ask you something privately. An Email or anything?
Yesss time for more Hildibrand shenanigans!
love seeing you two dancing in the background, lol
Yay, more Hildibrand! And more Dan and Jocat! Is it just me or does Durmin kinda look like Luke from the Professor Layton games in that blue outfit?
That is a very entertaining story about the D&D gazebo. I will have to share it with my sister if she does not already know it.
(Insert girlish squeeing) GIGI!!!! A reference to my second favorite FFIX character. Yes Dan, you should play IX, but you probably want a break from FF and long games…
Yay more FFXIV and with our boy and Victor! o/ This is going to be fun <3 I comment of the Hifi but had to comment here too, loving the both ^^
Woo! Hilde!
I've been laughing my butt off already, I'm looking forward to what Hildy has in store for us this time around!
"what kind of idiot goes and names a mammet gigi anyways?" Goes a long way to explain a certain goldsmithing mammet's anger issues
Given the proximity of Durami, the gazebo was obviously tamed with SNACKS…. duh.
dear god, Godbert is wearing less in the frozen tundra than in town
Yay, bonus Durmin time! And it's Gentlemanly Hijinks with JoCat too!
I continue to love the nods to FFIV's Yang, Sheila, and Ursula with these characters.
Vivi! Or rather Gigi! That reminds me, I need to pick back up my FF9 game, I totally forgot about it.
