Wait.
How did it take me 8 years to realize the parallels between the Ultima Weapon of FFXIV and the God Warrior from Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind.
They basically have the same origins and intended use by the empires that stole them.
Since we're quickly approaching the level 50 mark (and the end of the realm reborn content), I just want to say that I'd be very interested in a recap episode (in the same style as the primer) which covers all the main story beats we've seen so far. I feel like a lot of the drier parts of the story have gone in one ear and out the other for me, and I'm sure there are others who feel the same, so it'd be nice to make sure everyone's up to speed before we shift to the next batch of the plot.
One thing I will say about Kan-E Senna is that while the voice acting DOES get considerably better she always talks in a bit of a distant way so I guess I can understand if that's how the original voice actor was directed and didn't have much time to work it out.
I appreciate the gag at 44:18 more than you can understand, Dan.
Wait Arnvald is here? Really? I Thought he was introduced in Stormblood
That coucil scene from 34:00 onward has reminded me yet again what an awesome voice actor/audiobook narrator Dan has become! Not looking at the screen you can immediately tell who's saying any given line, I love it!! 😀
Is there nay explanation as to why Durmin's disguise has a helmet but Biggs and Wedge's don't?
As a fun little aside for Arenvald, since Dan finally spoke to him (I'm the poster who talked about how I came back to check on the Waking Sands NPCs all the time): The two folks Arenvald mentioned, A'aba and Aulie, were NPCs who were always positioned "talking" with him in the Waking Sands prior to the attack; they're in this same room. When you spoke to them, he would talk about how he was the weakest of the three, and how he was basically dead weight dragged along with them. Right after the attack, if you enter this same room, you can actually find their bodies laid out in front of a small alcove where Arenvald is tucked away, and he tells you that they died protecting him. It's a tragic little touch if you bothered to follow along with their story, and later expansions do a lot more to develop minor NPCs living their own lives in the Scions' headquarters while you're away, so I hope Dan does take the time to stop and smell the roses now and again. 🙂
44:18 that's definitely going to be part a highlight reel! That got me so good!!!
As funny as I think your reaction of 'are we talking about the same Thancred' was, I think it would be funny if 'Thancred was turboslacking on assignment' was the like, neon-letters sign that All Is Not Well With Thancred, but due to the fact that Durmin was both the only witness and the new guy, nobody who could have properly interpreted that information was witness to it.
Unfortunately, the writing hasn't been consistently good enough yet to earn the credit it would need for me to actually buy that interpretation, but it is a funny thought.
Gaius, can I have some of your ham for my sandwich?
It's taken me this long to realize Dan doesn't have all the role actions on his bar (and now that I think about it, that's not all the would-be-available-at-this-level Warrior actions, is it?). I know he likes to keep his UI clean for recording, so role actions (and where to find them) may be worth calling out if there's ever a "Combat 102" video.
I love it. "Hey can you guys let me in?!"
"can you guys let me in?" i lost it on hearing that
I was going to quote "your shins are forfeit' as the best line, but then there was 'hey! can you guys let me in?' and I absolutely cackled.
"Maybe you should have worn your helmet" "At least he's doing something" I love that Dan has started to always talk to the crew, this gives the whole story so mich more life – and his comments are the best :'D
Love the class armours in FFXIV, the artifact gear is generally amazing.
Wait wait… Arenvald? Here? Already?
Alphinaud: Gives a big heroic speech that’s ultimately just hollow platitudes
Minphilia, in the background not paying attention: Yeah, Krile? I’ma need you to drop off *1, 2, 3…*, yeah, about 8 win buttons
If I don't see a quest called "Have Fun Storming the Castrum" in the near future, I will be quite disappointed with the ARR quest writers.
It was extremely distracting, during Glaumunt's tragic backstory, to see Biggs in the background, calmly fiddling with the magitek armor as if nothing was going on.
