Episodes that aged poorly in advance of it being aired. See you guys in future content lol
"His not a red mage hat"
To this day I am still salty over that hat.
As someone who beat FF3 this year, it is wild how much the Crystal Tower raids use the whole buffalo of not a whole lot: Amon and half the rest of the fights are optional reskin refights of prior bosses in the game, the clones of doga and unei were just to excuse why you're fighting NPCs from earlier, there's even snakes in the final fight who would previously be around the cloud of darkness. Even as someone who disliked 3 (apart from Eternal Wind), im impressed by what they were able to work with
0/3 Fish… worst ending is incoming… dogs and cats living together… mass hysteria!
There are so many "i'm gonna eat my words later" moments in this video and we are strapped in for the ride.
excellent video as always, 0/3 fish tho lol
I finally convinced my MMO-allergic sister to play 14 and she's starting ARR so she has a long way to go but im gonna start sending her your videos when she gets to those parts,.Seeing you all cooking up and speculating is so much fun i wanna do this (not on video formjust in person) with my sister starting on Dawntrail if she catches up by then and then compare it with yours when the time comes.-
All of your videos are treasures for this fandom, never gonna get tired of recommending them!
15:50 I hear you Kyle. I hear you #KAPPA
Ivalice is unimportant huh? I think the story will make anyone who says that to eat their words eventually.
Alliance raids are not made up do not spread missing information!!!😂 lol
So the only Alliance Raid that DOESN'T have world lore is Nier. Nier is not Canon to us but it IS to Nier itself
Amon’s final attack in CT is “Curtain Call”. Theatre kid since WC3 confirmed
As a long-time (read: old) fan of FF4, I was delighted by this zone, with its nods to the Tower and the Sisters. I really appreciate how 14 covers them without having the older games being required reading of sorts, too.
Great video, love every one of these you guys put out! Cant wait for more 😊
Damn I was hoping they’d get more into the dialogue the scions had between themselves. I wanted to hear their thoughts on that. Lot of character work going on.
6:99 Oof. No love for Hancock, eh?
26:20 Yes, very much more theater kid Amon than whatever Fandaniel was.
You can't forget Moonbreyda: She gave us the only punk hairstyle!
I'll have to go search for it, but Emet had a throw away line back in Shadowbringers that he was more external in his manipulations of Allag.
You say Thancred would bring the drugs on a road trip, but personally my headcanon is Urianger when high forgets how to do his flowery speech and just talks normal
Varshan is technically a thousand year old kid common troupe.
Satrap IS a good word, and it means that Radz-at-han is a Satrapy. A Hannish Satrapy. It rolls nicely off the tongue.
I really wish the game didn't have the Group A or Group B choice at the start where you can go to Labyrinthos or Thavnair. The story flow is SO much better to do Labyrinthos first. Otherwise you see all of this and end on the "Nidhana is kidnapped and we have to save her!" cliffhanger and meet Vrtra, then you go back to Sharlayan and they're like "Wait! Let's go to the library!" It's a really weird feel to do Thavnair first.
I DREAM of them adding voice acting to ANY raid series story. I want to pay attention so badly but I just lose focus halfway through every unvoiced cutscene. Throw us a bone, square! please!
Not gonna lie you guys talkin about the hangover boys trip and Thancred bringing the goods made me die laughing because thats exactly what I thought arriving in Thav LMAO.
If I was standing next to my fellow veteran players I would be glancing over at you all in the eyes right now

I'm thinking Among was a far more potent personality than Emet could have conceived of, so when the shard of Fandango was awakened the ancient personality simply wasn't a strong enough presence to consume the existing mind so the reverse happened.
Papylymo was a better character than Prime at least.
As always, it is LOVELY to listen to you pull strings from hundreds of hours of story to spin your yarn – real or imagined.
I hope EW rewards you accordingly
I think level and msq skips should be locked to the furthest progress point you reached on a character
Deliver a sandwich lunch for Dickon, you won't regret it
Raz is a trader nation. They're super comfortable with strangers.
In terms of tiny touches, i wish that the Amon fight updated if you had seen this cutscene to call him amon-clone instead of amon
Talismans v curing tempering is “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” in action.
Remember when Endwalker released the servers melted down and SE halted sales for a month. So they literally did the opposite of trying to push people toward it.
Ah, also they had enough material for 1.5 expansions but couldn't find a good spot to stop so they just said fuck it lets finish it off now. They had no space to spend on catching people up, lol
Really the fisherman's got the least to complain about. Not like he's going to go hungry.
I was in the 1/3 fish gang when I played this
