  1. I personally think we, the wol, only agree because we know that hildabrand is the one force that can make us kneel to their absurd will. The only reason we do not fight because it’s a benign insanity…. If it wasn’t…. The universe would tremble to our eternal struggle…

  2. I think if I had to choose between a bear or a marbol to kill me, I’d go with the bear. The marbol would prolong the encounter bc Bad Breath, but the bear would go for the throat and end my suffering quickly.

    Edit: someone tell autocorrect that I’d is a word already jfc

  3. Playfriends, it's time to delve deep into this mystery. And to get more Gigi time! This is your spoiler free lore comment!

    As Dan states, today's quests were released in patch 3.4, which featured The Warriors of Darkness and the return of Alisaie (Episode 40 of Durmin's Heavensward Adventures)

    Officially, the Archbishop and the Heavensward are "missing", since their defeat resulted in them expending all their life aether (similar to the Primals that they intended to emulate). Unfortunately, this also means that there is no evidence to confirm for the masses that they are dead, and so conspiracy theories will grow.

    8:35 – I now fear for the vTubers I watch. 🙂

    11:40 – Let's address the fact that Julyan doesn't like to talk about. In the Heavensward era, something new has come to Eorzea! AGE. The artists and animators no longer restrict themselves to the young and fit! While Julyans and F'lhaminn are still afflicted with ARR Syndrome, keeping them looking like twenty somethings, new NPCs now have to deal with the ravages of time.

    21:35 – Even in the Goblin Egalitarian Utopia, you have to pay rent.

    26:52 – The quest name in the English localization is a reference to Jack Weinberg's statement "Don't Trust Anyone Over 30", which was an offhand comment about his Free Speech Movement, which protested restrictions on student political activity at the University of California, Berkley. Weinberg claims that it was just a statement to get a reporter from the San Francisco Chronicle to stop hassling him, but the phrase went viral.

    29:50 – Yup, that's a Dragoon's LB3, Dragonsong Dive

    32:08 – And thus, we continue to perpetuate the Dragoon meme, Floor Tank.

    33:45 – I think this man knows how to heal about as much as Donald Duck.

    35:10 – It's okay Orland, the 30+ year old players all commiserate with you, our backs hurt too.

    36:56 – Dorys, you do realize there's a big time machine primal in the lake just down the road, right?

    37:45 – I sincerely hope that some GM sets up a table top scenario that has the arc's Big Bad Very. Slowly. Walk. Away.

    40:15 – We're just off the mark here. The Sharlyan colony of Emporium (although hardly anyone used that name, and it was only given in Endwalker) was evacuated after the Garlean invasion of Ala Mhigo. The did so because they feared being embroiled in a possible war in Eorzea. This was roughly 15 years before the Calamity.

    43:30 – We're massaging folks again. I guess at least time time we're not oiling him up.

    52:50 – Here in FFXIV, Quan made Vivi, rather than just adopting and raising him. This version of Quan is much less noble.

    59:00 – ARR syndrome is powerful! And also makes this questline a little wonky.

    Next Time, we delve into time magic!

  4. 47:14 This one of the scenes where I imagined my WoL's playful attitude shone brightly.

    Cyr objecting to Hildibrand's disguise plan would be met with my catboy putting his hand on his shoulder, and saying, sotto voce, "Nonono, shshshsh… This'll be hilarious."

    And it was.

  5. 0:32 Him and me. I observe the well from a safe distance. I don't try and understand it, just observe.
    3:19 Even JoCat has his limits, he auto-corrected.
    4:24 "Where the red fern grows"… boy that one slapped me across the face like a fish.
    6:59 I will never get over how weird a choice she is. To say "she doesn't look her age" is an understatement, and idk if that's intentional or model limitations (like how in Skyrim you're either 10, 30, or 80, with not much wiggle room)
    8:46 Well, I guess I hope they use a guillotine? Odd choice of method to keep the parasocial in check…
    13:21 The sync'd nod is the perfect "well… yes, actually."
    15:03 You may not, Cyr.
    23:39 Even if they did, Slowfix would probably just go "nah, it's fine for this group"
    25:08 It's not a crest, it's a portrait of sorts.
    25:39 Neither is any place in arm's reach of you, Julyan. I can only imagine how much brain damage you inflicted on Hildibrand over the years.
    33:12 And that probably doesn't count the washouts.
    48:34 Unlike the bridal gown, this armor fits! And looks good!
    49:18 Yup!
    56:45 And yet not refer to them by name? How rude.
    58:28 Not tired of being a helicopter parent yet?
    58:36 …just make it weirder, jeez.
    59:03 I have memory of a few other female character that still looks 16-20 over 40… and they're all bloody gods. (Holo, and Senko's crew)
