That G'raha Teedus character is kind of sus, hmm…
So sorry for the long wait on part 2 of my endwalker playthrough… one of my harddrives crapped out on me and it took awhile to thankfully get the data back. 🥲 Enjoy the rollercoaster of emotions!! 🤣😭 how did you feel about Zenos taking over your body???
The contrast between Fandaniel and Zenos is simply hilarious. Sometimes I wondered if Zenos even perceived Fandaniel at all.
New vid!!! 🚨🚨 Watching your reaction to In From The Cold again is a welcome early birthday present 😁😁😁
Garlemald is a little "too real" sometimes ; _ ;
Also, the "Out in the Cold" duty really really illustrates how powerful you are compared to normal people.
This was really an emotional rollercoaster! Thank you for sharing your epic adventure with us 😄 looking forward to see you to .. the moooooon!
I love Tower of Babil because both it and the first 2 bosses are from 4. the interior looks a lot different tho lol.
I love casually sapphic Sadu and Cirina. Best girls!
Fun fact. That’s Zenos’ VA that does the green haired pirate guy from Limsa.
That was a rollercoaster of emotion. Much like my playthrough lol. Quick question. The RawVOD link. Is it broken? Just takes me to a blank page.
Garlemald is built as this super real and heavy point in the game where you feel like the emotions can't possibly sink lower than this….
And then they prove you oh so wrong afterwards.
We're going to the moon!
Spoilers: everything wasnt fine nor great
beam me up scotty
The ever enigmatic G'raha Teedus
43:37 That's exactly what I said! What was the point? It was such an elaborate sequence for very little pay off really. I'm just kind of sad that it stepped on the really great moment with Jullus and the ala mhigan soldier.

I love the opposite parallels of Anima being Seymour's mother who loved her son and became Anima to protect him in FFX and Zenos's father who hates his son and was turned into Anima against his will in FFXIV. Parallel but near polar opposites.
I think my biggest disappointment with the Garlemald section is how it kind of got overshadowed by the rest of the expansion. It was so good on its own, but you could have cut out the entire zone and make some small edits in other places and no one would have noticed. It's probably a minority opinion but I feel like they should have went with their original plan to make it 2 expansions. When they were wrapping up development of Shadowbringers they said they're thinking of wrapping the Hydelyn/Zodiark arc in either 6.0 or 7.0. But then I also felt like Stormblood should have been 2 expansions. So much set up that just ended up being a way to get to the moon. When people think back on Endwalker, unless they recently did it or watched a play through, no one really talks about this part of the expansion, but while you're going through it it's an extremely powerful section of the game.
41:12 🤣
The themes of this expansion hit REALLY hard for me, especially the propaganda issues of Garlemald.
"Sit down for a relaxing dinner?"
Meanwhile, YoshiP and Ishikawa are outside cutting the brakes on this train.
Everything about the Garlemald part makes me hate that 'third' dialogue option people pick much later more and more.
This leg of the journey had it all. Excitement! Battle! Hope and frustration! I definitely liked the Anima reveal and the revelation that despite the fact Garlemald banned religion to prevent primals they were still susceptible to it.
It's so weird hearing Sicard and thinking, "Yes, that IS Zenos' voice actor, as much as it might not seem like it."
There was a theory that Ameliance would be Anima? Oh that would have SUCKED, especially for me, since my mother passed away unexpectly about 6 month before Endwalker dropped. I am SO happy that Mama Leveilleur is a Customer Delivery NPC now: it means it is…extremely unlikely, at least, that she will be killed off.
If I had to walk into a room and find her dead on the living room floor, like how I found my mother, I'm not sure I would ever play this game again. Especially if it fell to me to tell Alphinaud and Alisaie, like how I had to call my sister and break the news to her.
