  1. They ARE as bad as the Garleans think they are. 'Sure! She murdered hundreds of her 'countrymen', the same countrymen who are self-admitted terrorists, the same countrymen who stoned her father to death infront of her for the crime of just wanting the fighting to stop.' In short: Screw the Ala Mhigans.

    The Kimono wasn't enchanted, it was woven with Garlean Weave, which is a aetherically dead material which is very cut resistant and is a side-product you get when refining Ceruleum, think Carbon Fibers, if you need a real world equivalent.

  2. Its funny that even without Hyurbert, those 3 failed successfully in their quests. And poor Arenvald. He got forgotten until post-Shadowbringers.

    Also, and please I hope you put Varis' callout to the other nations into a rap diss in the next part.

  3. It can't be understated how much fun it is, to be a sarcastic potato boi, calling out plot malarkey and Sailor Moon-esque transformations being wasted opportunities lol Fun time watching as always! Ready and waiting for the next adventure when the duty calls!

  4. @2:55 you know, this brings up an excellent point. How much does it take to buy a spot in the syndicate? Raubahn is gone, so can we buy his spot assuming we have the gil for it? Also, how much money is considred rich in ffxiv in terms of lore?

  5. Oh Hyurbert, You can't fix someone that broken not with all the duck tape in the world. Plus even if you did you would have to deal with her brother. So yah.

    Also if you guys need a Warrior of side content let me know.

  6. As clunky as it felt, it was still better than the DT MSQ and the follow-up in the 'thunder dome'. We got an amazing villain/rival, met many different characters, learned new cultures, and none of it felt overshadowed by a single character. Even Lyse wasn't pushy since the focus was split between two nations.

    It was solid, even if it dragged on.

  7. "Second-best expansion"? It's at LEAST tied with HS, at-worst, for best expansion! See, as a libertarian/AnCap-minded individual gamer here, HS was nice in that it had Idyllshire and the Illuminati being fended off, and Hildebrand, the private investigator, trying to be a father to not-ViVi, but this player was turned-off by the whole acceptance of inter-species/reptilian relations with dragons, big-time. Post-SB/ShB is amazeballz for the social-commentary that, as the snake-lady said, their "politics suck….d*ck!" Monarchy (a tyranny), obviously doesn't work, but neither does a republic (an aristocracy/oligarchy) nor does democracy (mob-rule), a.k.a. "The-god-that-failed", which, as plagiarist-Plato knew, gives rise to new tyrannies, continuing the cycle. ShB is very libertarian/AnCap because the sultana gets a private equity firm CEO, Lolorito, to invest in Ala Mhigan refugees by way of a company-town, a la MiltonHershey a century ago, who, famously, did not fire a single employee during The Great Depression, and the Player Character acts as something of a Dispute Resolution Organization (private security firm with The Scions) in cleaning up The Saltery beforehand. The crystal-summonings (nuclear warfare and/or alien-worship and/or choosing illusion in the Matrix to despair?) be they by the snake-lady caliphate, er, matriarchy, and later by the deranged tsundere-bro-and-sis, is an illustration of "The Shirky Principle", whereby monopolies (states in this case) produce their own problem to remain in business as the solution to, over their captive audience, to stave off revolution once more! This was good stuff all-around! Oh, and SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOP….er…..MEOL IS PEOPLE! Sin-eaters are rakghouls and the NIER-sidequest-stuff is all pretty good too! 6:23 in, that was so cool to head-off people as they were thinking about a potential "Simpsons" garbage-man walk-off "He's right, he ain't much on speeches" riff about to happen! 8:08 in, to be perfectly fair: (Yo)Tsuyu isn't "Garlean", the magic-deficient race, she's Yanxian and merely with Stockholm-Syndrome-on-steroids, like her little brother, thus, she may have been able to use/wear a magic-imbued kimono. 9:30 in, thought that was the guy from "One Piece", the main character who thinks he's a pirate, only in this case, thinks he's Garlean, when he's just a weeb. 10:57 in, OH GEEZUS, THAT SLAYED! MUH SIDES ARE SPLITTING! DISGUSTING, yes, it's a major pet-peeve of this viewers, especially from women, but the TIMING WAS EPIC! Comedy is truly all about timing. 13:22 in, THE EYES!!! PERFECT!!! 16:06 in, BLOODY-BRILLIANT! Was just thinking of "American Pie" movies and a song from the first one an hour earlier!

  8. Oh yes, I also finally remembered my favorite joke I made when I first beat post-Stormblood:

    WoL: Lyse, Lyse! All of my friends are dead!
    Lyse: But I'm still here Warrior of Light!
    WoL: I know. Like I said, all of MY friends are dead.
    Lyse 🙁
