For the kobalds, the day Merlwyb blew in and had them detempered was the most important day of their life… For our badass Admiral Merlwyb…it was just another Friday! x3
I think Fandaniel picked the wrong person to possess in my opinion. Asahi already had an extremely punchable face, but now it's that much worse now because Fandaniel acts like such an arrogant child. Something that I realized though is that Fandaniel is just raving about how he doesn't have to deal with Elidibus anymore, but Elidibus technically isn't dead. I think it would be interesting if the scions made the decision to enlist the aid of Elidibus to deal with Fandaniel. I think that idea is plausible because Elidibus even says "We'll meet again." or something along those lines at the end of the fight with him.
Great vid. Fun fact: Death Penalty is canonically one of the strongest guns in the FF franchise. So Merlwyb having it proves she is a total beast.
Also love how they point out that trust and change take effort. Old wounds don't heal fast, but you have to try and make things better. (Unlike a lot of writers who are just, "We're allies now. Until we don't wanna be.")
It may have taken three expansions and a handful of post patches but hey we finally knocked some sense into both sides of the primal debate Za Da’s concerns echo back to Ramuh in 2.3, as well Yes, we might be vying for peace, but one voice doesn’t change what has happened and what will continue to happen because of another voice or in this case the Empire and the pirate trade. The action of one does not and will not atone for the action of another
Out of all the antagonists in FFXIV, I like Fandaniel the best in the villain role. He’s crazed, willing to go to every extreme to get what he wants, and treats the MC’s resistance as both entertainment and progress toward his ultimate goal. Really fun evil dude
See, I actually like Fandanial. Unlike all the other Ascians being bad guys pretending to be victimized good guys, Fandanial KNOWS and accepts that he's a bad guy. He's the only one I consider an actual dangerous threat because I know he's not gonna pull any punches or hold anything back for some weird amusing reason.
So the Ascian masks are all based of the glyphs associated with the Espers from final fantasy 12. Most of them are cropped (like Lahabrea who's mask comes from Mateaus the corrupt) or cropped and flipped like Emet-Selch and Elidibus (zalera the death seraph and Zodiark the keeper of precepts respectivly)
Fandaniel is a bit different. His mark is based on Hashmal (Bringer of Order) but *inverted*, the negative space of the mark is what makes up Fandaniel's mask. 🤔
And THAT'S why I joined the Maelstrom. (well, after certain events in Ul'dah, anyway…) The admiral was due for some screen time, and she used it with aplomb. salutes

Telopheroi is roughly translated as “bringers of the end.” Close enough because I can’t really find an exact word for word translation.
I am dying at my desk every time you call them Teletubbies

And so Merlwyb The Warmonger gets a free pass…!
And well, why can't Fandango be a clown? He's not trying to be an Emet… It's a different vibe.
Ga Bu, embassidor between Human's and Kobold…. Who saw that coming when he was first introduced?
"Aye, Admiral!"
So how long until you get a pirate themed glamour
D3vious: You are in gunblade range!
Fandanial: and you are in Akh Morn range, try me
Lunar Primals have been a thing since Final Fantasy 4
"The team are killing it with the facial animations"
They had lots of practice with Hildebrand

You've beaten God's, tyrants, monsters beyond description, but can you handle
TOWERS?!
I still think Fandaniel is purposefully playing the fool for another purpose. I don't even think he's dealing straight with Zenos.
Fandaniel's Ascian mask is upside down. Make of that what you will.
Asahi, his name sounds like a beer
Hi~
