Most people don’t know that assassins, like coconuts, are actually a type of vegetable.

Happy Square Enix Friday, everyone, and today's question is a little controversial!
Which Square series has the best DRIP?
I do so love Inspector Briardien. He plays such a wonderful straight man to all of the Hildibrand tomfoolery.
We probably won't see Dan play it, but Briardien plays a role in a HW side quest in Ishgard that rewards an emote related to him iirc.
If he hasn't seen anything past the second episode, how did it show that he had Battle in the Big Keep unlocked in the last Hildebrand episode?
I absolutely LOVE Jocat's rendition as Hildebrand!
Ellie: "For the love of the gods, somebody find him a change of clothes"
Victor and Durmin in unison: "NO!"
I love you guys.
Briardien gets his own quest series later. Without Hildibrand, much to his relief. Assist him with it and he will teach you an emote that lets you adjust your spectacles with maximum smugness, just like him.
If you hadn't done these before how come you're in New Game + mode?
I no longer know what time is. I sleep, the Desert Bus drives. I wake, the Desert Bus drives. Two players enter the coffee pong arena. When they exit, the offering of coffee is given to Queen Carrie. The Desert Bus drives. This is your spoiler free lore comment!
Let's answer a big question about these quests: why? From the dev point of view, it's a nice break from high drama and politics, letting they work their comedy chops & animation. For players, it's always been for the comedy. Sometimes you just want slapstick. But that has recently changed. There is now a tangible reason to run these quests in Endwalker. Each expansion has provided players new "relic weapons". These weapons require extensive grinding to obtain some very fancy and shiny (as in, they actually glow with light) items with excellent stats. While the weapons are eclipsed as soon as a new expansion is released, many players continue to grind for them just for how flashy they are. For Endwalker, the new weapons are Hildibrand Weapons, which require completing the Hildibrand quests to unlock. This has resulted in some mixed response. The Hildibrand quests have long been on a list of recommend side content, but comedy is subjective and it doesn't land for everyone. Making it required for the latest Relic Weapons has required some players to go through hours of content just to start their grind, and not everyone is enthused by the comedy.
Funny story about the best security that money can buy. That means they can be bought. And we've seen that Brass Blades are known for being bought. Briardien knows this. Although in this case, it's less that they've been bought off than that they're a prime infiltration vector for our mastermind.
It seems Briardien isn't quite as sharp as we'd like to think. Some of it is because this is a comedy questline, and having him mistake Nashu's scribbles as the Mastermind's threats is funny. But it may also be because Eorzea has an incredibly low bar for police and detectives. Just because Briardien is the best, doesn't mean that he's that good.
Next time: We return to the bloodsands of Ul'dah!
The other vegetables were a product of FF12!
1:12:50, that's a Bugs Bunny Joke. and no, I would not say it has aged well, at all : /.
No, no! She's just been fasting before the wedding. She's been so excited she's hardly slept…

I think this has my favorite Hildy scene of all time, the explosion. I just appreciate the long set up. How everyone is perfectly in character. How the WoL is like, man this is happening and I have 0 power to stop this train. But it also shows they are doing face animation work other than breaking HIldy's face with that smirk Ellie gives.
For those wondering where the Mandragoras went, I suggest doing some treasure hunting.
Originally an enemy from FFXI?
Well, I remember them as a boss in FFXII, the whole bunch.
Oh, god, there's Ultros at the arena… please… PLEASE tell me that there's a chapter that involves Opera and he is also in it.
22:15 I saw that. Not that I'm judging, I'm sure there's a good reason.
1:13 "Brew-gehr" is right. If it were the other way – "Brew-zhehr" – there should be an e after the g, as "Brugeaire."
3:57 "Reh-negg."
5:34 I'd say "Vahn."
5:36 I'd say "Mor-gon"
– Briardien & Hildy are such a fun dynamic, never get tired of their banter
– so are bombs a Fruit, a Vegetable or a Nut?
1:12:50 I guess cute Veggie monsters don't appreciate being Flirted on
I’m less confused that they have generic servant clothes in various sizes and more confused how Arabella and Hildibrand are apparently the same dress size for something as fitted as a wedding dress.
I always knew those Vegemals were trouble…
Durmin's eyes following the card over his head is slow-mo gold 😆
The horrified looks on those mandrakes has got to be the funniest thing I've seen in a long time.
