The "We Must Think of the Children" is unintentionally one of the funniest game moments I saw in a long while
So, out of the three, Gridania's the only one who has any actual place to stand regarding their problems and the beast tribes, since the Gridanians have been here and a part of the forest since the beginning and are not invaders and colonizers. Also, the Ixal and their primal in particular are quite actually evil and care only about just killing things.
The other two speeches by the other leaders were quite racist in comparison.
These speeches actually affected my choice more than anything. I live in Limsa Lominsa and love the color blue, but when I heard about Gridania's tenet of unity and diversity I just had to join them. I don't care for the uniform and I don't want to live in the woods (too many bugs) but when it comes to Gridania you can count on me to be there!
Me before this episode: Geez, this fandom has really strong opinions about Alphinaud, what gives?
Me now: Ah.
"We must think of the children!"
You can't just, say that, unironically!
EDIT: why do I recognise Alphinauuuuoohhhh my god he's Teddie. (As in, Sam Riegel.)
Those fishback bastards!
Limsa Lominsa and all their boaty talk is great! I wish I had time to play this game just so I can be a Final Fantasy pirate!
Ya! Where's me cutlass?
Poor ARR era Alisaie. She'll get a personality… eventually.
DAN IS WANTED BY ALL
AS HE SHOULD BE, BY THAL
BUT FOR THE FLAMES HE'LL BRAWL!
Dan – So many Suitors.
Me – Who will get the rose on tonight's episode of the Bachelor?
Alphinaud – starts talking
Me – Is that a Sam Riegel? Because it sure does sound like him!
… Does the Admiral remind anyone else of Captain Amelia the cat woman from Treasure Planet, or is that just me?
I love how the last speech's crowd sounds were just random pirate noises.
We must think of the children XD
Thank you for making these, Dan! I've been really enjoying them. 🙂
I forgot how punchable early alphinaud was. Was also 100% sure alisaie hated the player character at this early point of the story lol
About a year ago I realized I had completely forgotten why Alisaie wasn't as involved in the story I was going through at the time as Alphinaud, and had to look up some of the story cut scenes on YouTube to remind myself of what happened here. Bearing in mind that I was doing alot of side content rather than focusing on the MSQs, and apparently had been doing that long enough to degrade my memory of these cut scenes.
I'm a simple man. I see a Dan, I upvote.
Minfila's design vaguely reminds me of Rikku from Final Fantasy 10.
I have to say Dan please consider doing the Coils of Bahamut they are very important to the story, here's my suggestion you stick to the MSQ plus normal Raids and Trials, since you have a full FC at your beck and call it should not be a problem even doing them unsycned since the focus is the story after all, oh and also Hildebrand quest line is a must XD. I now this is a tall order but I hope you atleast consider it.
It's amazing how fast the Elder Seedseer gets around this episode, given her responsibilities. You can hear her all over the realm!
Thank you for doing these, I'm actually looking forward to sending these to some friends that don't have time to play an MMO. Hopefully it does well and you are able to make it to Endwalker. 🙏
I know the sound mixing is bad, but the one place where someone having loud voices that can easily clip the crowds? It's going to be pirates lol
but the children though
I remeber this from the position of being on stage, as I started in the 12veswood.
That one NPC is still looking for his cutlass to this day
At 15:26 insert The Simpson's clip here.
…. I really wish they'd go back and redo the ARR cutscenes with the post-ARR voice actors. The characters would still be half built, but the voices would be better (No shade to the voice actors for these, but it's clear whoever was directing them had no idea what the characters were going to be)
Is it just me, or did Alisae's departure seem pretty forced? She just kind of erupted at a pretty innocuous comment, announced she was leaving, and Alphinaud didn't even seem bothered.
…I do not remember that room where Merlwyb made her speech. That is not the room you normally go to when you talk to her. Do…do we ever see this room again? That's not the room we saw in episode 4 when Durmin met her, and that's the room we always go to when we talk to her.
You want to get someone to carry you around on their shoulders? Don't worry, I'm sure you'll get a mount soon.
Not that any of these are particularly great speeches but I’ll be damned if The Flames General didn’t kill it with that speech. Whoever wrote that knew what they were doing and the voice actor did a damn good job of it considering the previous line reads we’ve had in game.
I picked every single one of them across 3 characters, but Limsa is the city-state I love the best. Have fun on the rescue mission.
11:00 I'm feeling more scared of her instead of this supposed thread
Probably it has been suggested a buzillion times but i am going for buzillion and one. A video on "Arcane" animation would be amazing. I really would like to hear from you how they managed to get their characters so expressive. In particular the Ekko vs Jinx fight in episode 7 is going to be remembered as a masterpiece in the history of animation and i am not trying to be hyperbolic.
23:59 here, I found the best characters of FFXIV so far: the crowd noises who yell "No need none of those" and "Glory to South Ulda'ah"
PS: there's a huge chances that I misunderstood those lines, since English is not my primary language. I find them amusing nonetheless
37:30 I dunno if I'll do, Dan. But for now the characters of this so far were the crowd noises and I'm willing to die in this hill.
20:24– Wh…why is "Seventh"… written as "VIIth"?
Really enjoying these! Keep it up!
This introduction of Alphineau and Alisae was such a weird one for me. When I first played, I thought they were time travelers or something.
lmao I'd totally forgotten how sinister the twins were when they first showed up.
I actually miss Kan-E-Senna's old voice actress. It was neat that she had a distinct accent from the rest of the cast.
THINK OF THE CHILDREN
8:09 bless you.
Alphinaud is unbearable in ARR, oh my god.
My resistance to playing this is slowly eroding. It's the only FF I haven't played besides XI… But as basic as the story is to this point it's better than any MMO I've tried before in terms of actually having a narrative and if it really picks up… I can see really liking this. Plus there is a lot of spiritual similarity with the setting of FFXII and FF: Tactics which is a huge plus and the jobs system is very clearly an MMO interpretation of FF: Tactics jobs system and that system is awesome IMO.
At 16:32 props to the character artists, who managed to make these two look like identical twins, while still making one look masculine and one feminine. The differences are subtle, and I love it.
Despite of the lighting in Gridania and crowd noises… great speeches, I'm beginning to be really intrigued by the story
