  1. Alternate dialogue trivia: If you tell the Captain that you're from the Source, instead of saying that there is no such place, she objects that your answer was "cryptic nonsense". That's because she does know a place called "The Source"…but it's a large body of water near the Crystarium. So, from her perspective, the WoL just claimed to have appeared out of a lake.

  3. So happy Durmin's back already! This has been my only experience with Final Fantasy 14, and the series has become one of my absolute favourites on the channel, and I really enjoyed what Stormblood did with the story. I can't wait to see what this story holds.

  16. Ok… I know you didn't plan on starting this series on Eclipse day… did you?

    So, Durmin has at last located the Mysterious Voice, and has followed it to… uh… well, what do we even call this place? Another dimension, the way the world could have gone, where everything is the same but not quite? Whatever you call it, they started right out the gate in making things feel menacing with a capital M, and through the use of emptiness. Because the Crystarium is just beautiful, one of my favorite hub areas in the game, with my favorite theme… but where is everyone? In spreading everything out, in making you walk to these disparate places, you cannot help but notice there are no areas of bustling activity, like Ul'dah and Limsa. A tiny detail, but it hammers in what you learn in your history lesson:

    The tiny landmass you see in your map? It is all that's left of this world.

    Dammit, I love purple, and they managed to make it creepy and full of terrors…

  19. I’m so happy to see this playthrough return! Thank you so much for putting the time and effort into making this!

    5:28 Is that Eternal Wind from FF3 I hear? 🥹

    18:24 oh all the time probably

    36:36 I almost forgot that Bragi is a Norse mythology name and not a certain someone from KH

  20. At this point we learn the main character is NOT a Miqote, because if it was, they'd instantly want to go back through the door, then go through it again, and then sit in the middle of it and wait.
