  1. So you’re saying I shouldn’t raise a Dark Knight that died because they used living dead poorly, and let the dead rest peacefully!? You’re the boss 😀

  2. Really like you videos, I hope you keep this kind of " in character storytelling" like a professor giving an intro to a lecture. I personally want to know what happened in the base game of ff14 and why certain locations are the way they are. Mor Dhona as an example. But of course I like the class videos as well.

    I guess right now I just feel like I have an incomplete grasp of the lore and locations. Lots of names but not a lot of context to understand them

  3. The more I think about it, the more terrifying I find Late Stage Amdapori White Magic to be.

    All of this is head canon for me:

    To become so advanced in curative magic and aetherology, that you learn how to not inject life-restoring aether into people, but to instead pull that aether from them. Literally, taking the technique of Black Magic and White Magic’s ambient aether usage to include the very life of another. It’s the same horror of Bloodbending in the Avatar universe.

    This is more head canon on my side, but I believe Holy is Light-aspected. And after playing Shadowbringers, I like to believe that Holy releases a dangerous burst of light-aspected aether which momentarily stagnates the target’s personal aether, “stunning” them.

    I also imagine that White Mages’ Glare, Día, and Holy work by pacification. Each one fills the target’s aether with light until they become so stagnated that they can’t fight anymore. White Mages leave their enemies in a state worst than death.

    Just some personal (non-canonical) thoughts!

  4. Nice video! I came because I'm interested in why White Mages use magic that does damage, and this video helped. Hope you eventually make a video on Black Mages. :3

    EDIT: Found your video on Black Mages. Don't know how I missed it. xD

  5. "And the dead should be allowed to rest…"

    My Res Macro says otherwise. 🙂 Though you COULD argue they were just "knocked out", my thinking is "That's a person that could be feeding my blood lily right now….."
