Garrett really wants Zenos to be Vegeta.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 dammit, that opening got me HARD 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Gentlemen…please look forward to it. 🙂
Love when Kyle goes on a theory crafting tangent. Always catches me completely out of left field.
The whole "beg, shake, heel, sit" thing – that's fae lore right there. Since the Nu Mou are also denizens of the fae lands, they obey certain rules as all fey do; for them, nothing is more pleasing than obeying a request or pleasing someone in need. The "magic words" are straight up words you'd use on a dog. It's not mind control, rather it's suggestion via fey rules.
For the fey, words have power. A lot of power. If a fae asks you for your name and you give it, they don't just get to know who you are – no, by you admitting to giving away your name, they have now stolen your entire identity via meta-magical means. Suddenly, the fey has always been you, and you might be forced take their place in the world instead or turn into something nameless and formless. Conversely, should you know their name, you'd hold a great deal of power over that fey creature.
In fact, some side questing – a line of Custom Deliveries to a bushman from Il Mheg – sort of touch on this, how the bushmen were formed, how they lost their selves to the fae, and where mudmen come from.
Urianger and by extension the others are quite clever in their uses of the word, slipping them into regular conversation to compel the Nu Mou into agreeing to whatever they're being asked to do. Were the words used as is, it'd probably be pretty much an insult – but cleverness and trickery are much appreciated by fae, be they of the water, earth or wind.
As an Elezen, I can confirm that not choosing Elezen is a mistake.
I think one of the problems with the story is that they changed writers. So there are some continuity issues. They aren't huge issues, but they are noticeable at times.
Oh no, they discovered the F'lhaminn endgame… quick! Engage the :)'s!
I forgot about Zenos doing that Ascian teleport thing. So weird.
This whole video had me rolling. There's so much here cant wait for Thursday 😂
love all the editing in this
What a banger of an intro, i had to watch it twice! now onward with the rest of the video
You guys should check out the patch trailers. By all means wait till you've finished the patch first to avoid potential spoilers, but 5.1's is safe now. They started to get really cinematic near the end of Stormblood and now they're just Hype AF. They also give you a good snapshot of what the players got in a patch.
4:49 "There's a flow to it. Pun intended."
I'm sure it was. But there's also more than one pun to be had with that statement.
I honestly love them circling back around to the gamey plot point of the WoL always taking their entire inventory with them and making it an essential plot point. They went through a lot of trouble to "explain" how stuff like a marketboard or retainer still functions in the First, and even something seemingly minor like that gets a payoff later.
Lol, Kyle's half-person prediction is wonderful.
I think Interstellar is Christopher Nolan's best movie haha
In regards to Ardbert's body staying fresh, it certainly wouldn't be the first time a corpse lasted long after it should have turned to dust due to unnatural means. Remember Haldrath? Not to mention that outside of Emet-Selch the Ascians were never really prone to showing their faces, so who's to say?
Intro hype!!!!!!!!!
1 thing to help with some of the lore questions, using lore from ARR only.
The necklace isnt what allowed Thancred to be possessed, the necklace was what allowed Lahabrea to escape death. He just sorta… caught Thancred with his pants down so to speak, and slipped in lol. The "crystals of darkness" such as that necklace are used by the ascians like a one-way hearthstone to their pocket dimension between material and aetherial realms, which i think Minfilia explained a LONG ass time ago but nobody will blame you for forgetting haha.
This episode is gonna age beautifully 😂
We had somebody cut in half at the end of ARR in Raubahn's finest moment. Asahi was clearly not in that state
Angelo killed haurchefant 😢
Yo, stop spoiling yourselves. First was Ascian Arenvald, now Primal Cat Mom.
If you want romance Kyle have you considered…marrying each other in game? > w>
"Lousy with naked genital free androids"
Answers forthcoming in Endwalker
Right, wrong and everything in between your predictions make me 😃
my opinion is that Elidibus jailbroke Zenos's body to use aether.
So if curious, way back in ARR. A sahajin chief used the power of the echo to not only jump his soul from a dying body, but also took over the living body of another sahajin. Well established in ARR that the echo can be used to take over even living bodies.
God I love it when people talk about Zenos
😅
You should definitely go through the Shadowbringer 8 man trial questline.
And honestly, I think that the Garlean on the mech is…. really just a random red shirt.
You've probably been told this already, but pleaaaaase play the ShB trial series storyline on stream. Its incredibly well-done and the fights are fantastic thematically.
