For those not in the know I’m 100% taking the piss on this one and just wanted to have some fun with the Manderville quest and known lore. Anything involving the Manderville’s is hyperbolic by association so the lore isn’t exactly 1 to 1, but I do my best job here at trying to fix that in the silliest way I think I can. Hope everyone enjoys!

So considering the amount of Job abilities he can use Godberts basically a retired Warrior of Light
This is DBZ levels of shenanigans.
Get this man a drink
How many braincells did you lose and won during this… oddity?
When WoL kicked the head I threw my hands up and shouted “GOOOOOOOOOL!!’l
I wonder moore: How strong is Godbert in compairing to the kdl and Zenos
Blitzball kick.
idk why so many people dislike the quest line. i loveed every second of it
Also not mentioned : apparently, the WoL was a champion ball kicker before becoming an adventurer… or rather, he's become a better one since if you'd ask everyone he defeated and foiled the plans of.
As for the Mandervilles, I suspect they're descendants of a prototype Highlander lineage of super-soldiers from one of the previous eras that survived calamities. Heck, maybe they're the missing link between the world of FFXIV and Monster Hunter altogether.
"You cant just break the rules of the universe!"
"I HAVE UNGODLY AMOUNTS OF AETHER, SCREW THE RULES"
Honestly best to just not think about it cuz trying to understand it will fry your brain at a certain point
I can’t help but feel like the end of that cutscene is a reference to Mario Strikers or Lego Star Wars 3…
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Looking back at all the crazy things Hildibrand has done through out all of his quests, it all makes sense now… and I don't know how to feel about that XD
Lmao I was actually thinking about Synodic during this scene cuz of the limit break happening with only two people around xD Lo and behold he actually did
Magnificent
When Square gives you Hildibrand, make Mandelonade
How to Break Physics: Explained With Physics.
It's all aether – I aint gotta explain shit
Doing God(bert’s) work, scribe.
Wait I thought limit breaks were powered by Dynamis
The two also remind me of Nald and Thal when they are standing opposed at their feet. lol
I love you took the time to explain this AMAZING cutscene rofl! I almost died laughing when I saw it first time hahah
Alternate possible explanation to Brandihild's seeming to stop time. He Did a pulse of aether sight to get a comprehensive layout of the area, mentally reconstructed it in his mind it the data from the sight, and pored through it all in a matter of milliseconds seconds by aethericly boosting his physical brain like a monk would their fists, found the shield in his mind, and then went right to it irl so quickly that he was able get it to block the shot.
Man that split second of brandihild stepping in front of you with a shield gave me Vietnam flashbacks to the vault.
scribe i feel like u need a drink after that
My theory is that the Mandervilles inadvertently unsundered themselves through sheer force of will
Bro Tidus class confirmed??!??!?!?!?!??11?1!1??
In all honesty that kick was very reminiscent of Tidus in various media, particularly Dissidia. I don’t doubt that they COULD make some sort of Blitzer based job using his skill set, but I’m not really saying they will do it either.
7.0 new job confirmed
Amazing video.
But i still hate this Questline XD
I love that the new hildribrand cutscene show of a fraction of the canon power of the WoL.
Only them can handle a pass from Godbert
I love Hildebrand! 🤣
I think we soon need a meme of that "Aliens" meme guy simply saying "Aether"
This is fantastic xD
I for one have been waiting ages to find the perfect opportunity to Jecht Shot an enemy.
godberd is the result of mastering a doh so hard that its becomes a dow job
I'm trying to contemplate how silly this all is, yet the serious nature in which it is broken down has me bemused.
this man really applying logic … to the Mandervilles?
>.> i don't even wanna know about the migraine that caused.
no one mentioned that Godbert literally Sidestepped that tower mechanic
I love this game
Blitzballer confirmed for 7.0.
Thank you Synodic Scribe. I discovered what I think is the start for the Mandervville quest line a couple days ago and figure I should just accept it as it’s own weird story.
As powerful as Godbert is at times, it's noted that during the Final Days he couldn't save everyone he wanted to. He looked at the WOL and saw how much they were doing and felt the WOL accomplished much more than he did.
"physics becomes optional" 🤣
Meanwhile the WoL is: "We don't need physics, where were going!" (Bonus points if you read that in Florida man)
Finally the WoL using their ancient powers decides "You crazy Manderville bastards. I'm in."
I just figured the Mandervilles are just always using dynamis to say fuck the rules
REally? No comment about the jecht shot?
I absolutely abhor the Manderville quest line. It's tedious and not funny at all. Really disappointed they used it for the relic weapon. I have nothing to look forward to.
