Welcome to the Final Fantasy XIV Dawntrail Spectacular!!! I can finally talk about the Media Tour and share with you all my thoughts and feelings on the newest FFXIV expansion!

Bless you, Mr. Jesse Cox, for bringing THE bright and shining Ben Starr to ask the most important question of all time. The heroes we don't deserve.
The final boss is the exact same model as a pretty cool mini-boss in FF9 at the tail end of disc three. It's called Abadon, and it appears during the Zidane you are not alone sequence and you fight it with Quina and Steiner.
HOLY that instrumental in the beginning is from the game??? Hell yea
I knew it!!!! the way I cackled when you had BEN ask Yoshi P!! thank you Jesse! this was hilarious and very entertaining!
Not a fan of the conveyor belt style dungeon. Essentially forces you to slow down the run.
So that song in the beginning… hear me out.
What if the level 100 dungeon that may take place in Solution 9, is some ritzy gameshow we take part in. Like some sort of Smash TV thing and this is the song that plays.
Had a thought of Lalafels riding other races, would be hilarious to see. Also… my little game is to see what FFXI (11) enemy models they'll pull in this time. My hope is to see the OG beastmen: Yagudo, Quadav, and Orcs make an appearance. They gave us Absolute Virtue and most of the enemies from "Sea" in Eureka which is cool, and the dungeon raid in Eureka plays the Ru'Hmet theme and the BCNM themes, heck Eureka was nice with the XI throwbacks. With the 24 man being XI collab I hope it does it justice.
Ben Starr + Jesse Cox are the best comedy chaos duo
I love it how Jessie is like "Let lalas ride!" And then there is a completely different side of the player base that is disgusted by that notion and will inform you of lala chair lore.
Thank you for being the only media tour person who ever shows off the job gear on male characters
I love the idea of emote mechanics in fights. Like for example, an aoe that hits people standing up, rather than one on the floor. So people are forced to use a emote that lowers their character like sit, push ups, play dead etc to avoid it. Or one that requires you to 'ignore the boss' so you pretend to fall asleep, start eating food, look at your tablet etc. That kind of stuff is so silly but also fun, since if they code in a bunch of options it lets people express themselves with the emote choice, while also being different. Also I think the idea of hardcore raiders trying to find the 'optimal' emotes to use kind of hilarious.
I am addicted to irony and sincerity makes me fly into a face eating foaming rage therefore I can only allow myself to play as a diminutive potato character that in no way asserts any kind of serious enjoyment of the content, it has to be a joke. Lalafel world ya'll.
#LetLalasRide YES!
I want 3 Lalafells in a trenchcoat pretending to be a Hyur.
As a Hrothgar, I consent to popotos riding my shoulders
"A Lalafell is requesting you for uppies"
> Yes
> No
41:40 Seems to just be using FF XI's concepts with Orcs, which wouldn't be surprising if there where Velkk/Trolls/Orcs to go with the Mamool's. If not I guess you'd go with the "after years" version of Cid from ff4?
#LetLalasRide
As a Roegadyn, I'd be happy to let the Lalas ride, but only if I'm given the option to throw them.
Ok, but if you're a Roe, you can carry up to 4 lalafels in your arms, sound good? Ride pinion?
I now need Soken doing the Herald of Darkness dance at fan fest. Only Krile could climb my shoulder. Well unless my rl partner ever plays the game lol they liked Lala but I generally spend 0 time with lala. They seem to be the least played race where I am in Lich.
I only wacthed the qestions as i want to be surprised by everything. My dude I love you, those truly were the most important questions. I would however like more wried mechanics in optional Content
oh god the Lala Question. XD and you dragged Ben into it…. nooo lol. Amazing video this just makes me more hyped for Dawntrail.
Jesse is a very powerful fella to not have cried when Yoshida mentioned the stream.
Each of the convocation had a domain of creation. birds, sea life, ect. could probably be something like that with the carvings.
if you want to talk about daunting try being a tank. Like if you don't do some unwritten rule you may not know about, you get mocked to hell. Been called everything under the sun from AAR launch to recently. You got people who pull for you no matter how fast you are.. nothing is ever "correct". like a few w days ago I tried lvling R got the fae dungeon. I had my RP hud set and just git the first group while i fixed it. W/o saying a word 1 of the ppl pulled for me when i wasn't ready, then mocked me right out the gate not giving me a sec to explain, or i woulda said sry i had a hud mix up. I'm on ps5 and balance a keyboard in my lap while sitting cross leg on a couch.
its like ppl don't know how Emity works and think it easy to pull off a dps or healer who pull. Based on the gear discrepancy and how heavy the dps is going takes a tak 2-3 aoe to pull it off a player.. more if the plater is kiting.
This is really knowing your audience, the story is important and we all enjoy it so skips make no sense yet
I could never imagine telling a friend to start at lvl 90 in 6.1. People really underestimate how much they know about and are used to FF14's systems and mechanics and throwing someone that deep is asking them to quit.
The argument about playing with friends is so disingenuous as where would you take a clueless new player in endgame, to an ultimate? criterion? There is nothing stopping you to join them on their msq progression. MSQ even to a cutscene&dialogue skipper is so important as it provides time and is slowly introducing mechanics and systems of the game. Also let's be honest, a lot of ppl to hand out with friends don't even need duties in the first place as they hang out in places like residential districts.
On the opposite side allowing ppl that literally have no clue what to do in lvl90 content is griefing to other players which in kind would trigger the other players to be mean and possibly kick the new player as lvl90 is not designed to be clueless friendly like Sastasha is.
To anyone thinking allowing ppl start at lvl90 is smart i highly recommend watching Preach's wife, Emma play FF and you'd realize how insane it'd be to throw her into lvl90 experience.
just no more ascians. we're done with that
the guitarbow is one of my favorite weapons ever and I am 100% stealing that shit for my D&D campaign
By the by. Hrothgar here. I fully consent to lala's riding on my broad lion shoulders. (does this mean I can throw them like a boomerang, two way consent seems fair?)
And if the character’s shoulders are too small (aura and miqote?) they could carry them
In their Arms like a baby
Jesse strikes again!
38:55 As a female roegadyn main, I consent to having an entire school bus of lalafell on my body. Please, let me take you where you want to go, small ones.
Y'know what would be great? Straight up 4th wall breaking raid as part of Hildy quest-line. Not "Yoshi-P's Hyur as a boss", just straight up 3d scans of some of the devs, like they did with Square-Enix's CEO in Metal Gear solid. Could be tied into the space exploration or something to, to separate the ridiculousness from the game a little more.
Me elezen, me consent. have spots open in top of head, on back, on front and two shoulders
I used to play FFXIV (2000+ h on record) and I have no idea what the story is. I was following the story in the beginning but fell off around the first dungeons when other players were giving sh*t for watching the cutscenes and I though "F this, I'm not going to keep others waiting and get shat on" and was discouraged from following the story. The (toxic) players in general killed the game for me and I'm doubtful if I'll ever return. Also a huge bummer how the marketplace is basically destroyed by bots. I'd love to share the love the devs seem to have for the game 🙁
dance boss fight, should be during Hildebrand questline fitting the silly tone of it perfectly
#letlalasride they could just use the same system they have for mounts like the regalia etc (ie, lala's may mount you provided they're in a party with you 😂)
I'm so excited for Dawntrail!! Quick Endwalker spoilers after the break.
Before Endwalker came out I had all kinds of ideas for how the story could have gone, most of which were rapidly blown out of the water upon finding out that Zodiark was the FIRST trial (though I did somehow predict Emet Selch would play an important part again including how he shows up right when things got the most hopeless). In Dawntrail, I had a few ideas for what the story would be right up until they showed off Solution 9. Now I got no damn clue what's about to happen and I'm so here for it.
The little changes they've made to visual clarity in dungeons are small but very noticeable. Thank you Yoshi-P!
