So I don't usually comment (and idk if you'll see this) but it feels like it warrants special attention anyways. I really appreciate how much effort you put into getting the pronunciation of various names right. For 3 reasons. 1: I'm a huge lore nerd. 2: FF14 (as I'm sure you know) draws a lot of inspiration from various real world cultures, so putting special attention into getting the names right feels like you're going out of your way to respect the cultures FF14 is borrowing from, even if 'only' by proxy. 3: I'm black, and I have a name that most americans cannot say and make no effort to say correctly, so even if they're fake characters seeing someone put in the work to try to get it right makes me all warm and fuzzy. 💙
I am ever so grateful to playframe for going though the story mode of this incredible game, mmos aren’t really my thing but I looooove final fantasy and I hear the story for this game and its subsequent expansions are beyond amazing and I just want to know what everyones saying about it. Plus with them suspending new players ie no longer taking new accounts a good many of us won’t be able to. So I subscribed and pray to see this series to the end(walker)
I know people don’t really run battle levequests much anymore, but there is one for the Camp Tranquil explaining that the turtles are an invasive species to the area, not that the lancer Landenel would care
Yeah it's kinda funny that you're brought on a grocery run while a Primal is about to lay waste to the country XD It's always very satisfying tho when the characters that underestimate you get a good look of your real power
Third comment: 13:40 Thanks for the strange idea Dan. I wonder if I could make a story where people fight for titles. Maybe not to the death but something that involves besting a foe and gaining the title they once possessed. hmm…. Needs some work but it could go places.
Fifth comment: 29:50 I just noticed that there is another Vera chasing Durmin around this episode. Maybe all these Vera have a weakness to small, but determined lalafell.
Sixth comment: 35:28 That's it. I am calling it now Durmin is just a Vera magnet. I didn't see the brown haired one until the one in white showed up.
Seventh comment: 38:03 That is… I haven't seen confusion used like that before. I like it
Final comment: As always keep up the good work and remember, "Have Fun With It."
For the record, turtles are reptiles in the order Testudines, which shares its etymology with the Roman ‘testudo’ formation, which involved raising shields above their heads to protect against arrows and other projectiles.
I think I really enjoy a lot of your playthroughs audio-wise because I enjoy the voice acting, but also visually, because you pay attention to framing the action well. Which is made all the more obvious when you make an annoyed noise because someone is "in your shot". Makes me smile.
I remember the insanity of some of these fetch quests before they simplified things down. This really is one of those places where they really REALLY improved things by trimming it down. I feel like a little lore was lost, but they could have (didn't, but could have) made up for that by expanding the sidequests that eventually talk about everything that's left hanging from these threads.
"See, I don't regret my time spent with the Company in the slightest. Traveling the world, meeting interesting people, killing them, it was all jolly good fun"
I hated this quest line not because it was yet another fetch quest (and I played this long before they culled much of the ARR bloat), but because of the dialogue. I hated how patronising the NPCs were. We really were pressed for time, but they keep acting like our pointing that out is laziness. Or that our not wanting to break a major law in a nation we have good diplomatic relations with is some form of weakness (seriously, the Elementals are terrible on a good day). Being insulted at nearly every turn, talked down to, and the fact that we’ve literally already fought and bested a primal (solo, according to the in-game story) being treated as though it was nothing, is frustrating to say the least. The final result is nothing less than insulting.
I think with better writing this chain would have been fine, but as it is, it’s annoying at best
that exact sandworm fate spawned on me at that exact moment in my arr playthrough too, lol

Oh. U'odh Nuhn does that weird purring thing with some of his 'r' sounds that every single Mithra did in FFXI.
I'd forgotten that made it into FFXIV as well.

Glamor for the win. Got busy today so I am only getting to the video now. 🙁
First comment: 3:39 So this has been bugging me for a while now, but do all the scions have tattoos? If so is there some lore behind it?
Second comment: 11:44 was, was that a pun?

oh, no! I finally caught up 😀 I can't wait for you to get into the endgame. Don't ever stop making these, it is so much fun <3

I never liked Tidus anyway. Let the slaying commence!

I can smell it… it is almost time for… Gobbie Cheese…
41:23… As a Brit, that sentence reads VERY different… eek.
I think Durmin's neck must be sore from looking up all the time.

I love this game's dialogue
Turtles are reptiles
Turtles are reptiles, as far as I know. Frogs are amphibians.
Also, "murder chores," is my new favorite way to describe kill quests.

Starting to question just how big of a deal these primals are if you have time to bounce around the continent organizing a banquet while they hang out
Hint: Y'shtola is always right.
