I’ve been wanting to cover this for a while. The Auspice are so varied with their powers and abilities it’s hard to talk about them in a definitive sense so I tried to get close to what I believed is universal among them. But I’m glad this is done and I was able to get this out to you all! Enjoy!

The Auspice kind of remind me of Japanese Kami and yokai in a way but thanks for the lesson I enjoyed this one.
Ah so good! Thank you for this. Id love to listen and learn more about each of the Auspices through your soothing and beautiful voice ^^
Very interesting! Something I'd be interested in is the lore behind the classes. I know you have a series about jobs, but it'd be interesting to have a more focused look at what exactly all the starting classes are
This was such a good entry to your videos! I have been wanting to learn more about this topic – thank you!
Many well known mythical creatures of our real world's lore could have (or are stated to have) come into being the same way, living past a normal lifespan and gaining power… And unfortunately, becoming monsters in some cases…
I wonder why the auspice only seem appear in the Far East. Anyways thank you so much for the lecture professor I always found the auspice to be one of the most fascinating and strange beings to ever exist on or star. For the next lecture could you talk about the goblins? I’ve heard rummers that they possess a lust for knowledge said to rival sharlyan it’s self, but I always thought they were humble traders
Greetings professor. I'm in need of assistance. I've been through some stuff, but long story short, I've made a pact with a voidsent who's now whispering sweet nothings inside my head every now and then. I need to know… What it means to be a Reaper?
Beautifully done!
Ah, another timely episode given the events of this year's Heavansturn
Qitian Dasheng is read closer to “chi tien da sherng”. It’s the title self-given to the Monkey King Sun Wu Kong, which means Saint equal to Heaven.
It's a common real life Eastern cultural philosophy toward meditation and energy, in this case cultivation. In Chinese cultivation mythology, most living being have potential of cultivation including the lowest of the animal kingdom. Once they have reached a certain awareness and enlightenment their inner power manifest. Which is aether here in FFXIV
interesting question. Is there a difference between crystals of light that WoL carry and ordinary aether crystals such as those used in summoning or crafting?
I cant hear the word Arimitama without hearing Seryiu in my head "Ooooh arrramitamaaa"!
Very appreciative of all the work and research you did. Especially loved the bits about the Kami and religion surrounding them. Any plans to do a full lecture on that subject?
i wonder if auspic's awakenings are some form of echo developing in animals due to the rejoinings that have happened, an awakening that happens more acutely in animals due to them being more in tune with the world around them than the races of man
I just learned something new today
Learned a lot about auspice. thanks prof.

given how little we know about the nature of the two relevant forces aside from the fact that theyre based on emotion, ive seen speculation about a potential connection between them and dynamis. given the obvious effect it has and that those forces themselves are iirc never directly attributed to aether i dont think its an unreasonable thing to speculate. i wouldn't go so far as to say their powers are dynamis based, but the idea that their forms, powers, and in some part behaviours, are shaped or influenced by dynamis, the same way limit breaks are speculated to be using dynamis to help shape the aether around you into a useful effect
I really appreciate the subtle nod to Seto there at the very end. Seto was definitely a highlight of SHB especially as things were wrapping up, and the way it used the Auspice lore to show how things were similar yet different across the reflections was super interesting to me.
