I love Zero!!!
6.2’s MSQ is finally proof that Shadowbringers and Endwalker weren’t a fluke, but an indication that the team behind the MSQ are actually just operating at the absolute top of their game and only getting better.
Thanks for watching! We hope you enjoy.

The word I would say is that it was "satisfying", they got me curious about the 13th, zero, azdaja, and golbez. I want to learn more about it. But it gave me enough to theorize what was going on, something for me to think about while I wait until 6.3.
For anyone reading these who doesn't usually do minor side stories, find the knight that was chasing the tiny voidsent at the end of the msq. it's worth every second of your time
It’s amazing how they manage to tell such a good story with such a limited game engine. But then again the old FF games did the same. It’s not ever about graphics it’s visual style characters music world etc that is important.
Just regarding the musing on the title of the patch, I don’t think it’s quite so connected to the MSQ but rather Asphodelos. Without spoilers, buried memories is the whole thrust of the new raid story. There’s a reason the key art focuses on the raid rather than the MSQ.
I wish they would let use new game + the post patches already
why wld u tell me that 'last thing'?? zzzz
I started the game back in April as one of many WoW veterans, this was my first major patch release after catching up with the msq about a week before 6.2, honestly in these few months FFXIV gave me what WoW didn't in years, and the entire msq still being fresh in my head, I can easily look back and think about how much the game improved from expansion to expansion, something that people who played the game for many years may not have noticed as strongly. Patch 6.2 is awesome, and Endwalker is just stellar, I'm really looking forward to what's coming next!
Zero's name is probably just a nod because the role of Zeromus was pretty much filled by the Ascians.
I suspect she will be more Cecil if anything.
I started in late Stormblood, and so far this was my favorite FF14 patch yet. It might not have had the cliffhanger of 4.5, or the crazy high of 5.3, but it just did everything right. The raid is greatd, the trial and ex are great, the dungeon is good, the glam is great, and the music is fantastic. It's easy to take something like this for granted, especially when in MMOs we're used to taking the good and trying not to think about the bad. But when everything works, it's something special.
No one can escape Vergil's motivation.
They really went out of their way to fully introduce a character in a single patch. Like full bio.
While simultaneously re-explaining the situation in the 13th for anyone who didn't do the HS & ShB side content.
I fully thought "ah, here's where the patch content ends", several times. And then it just kept going.
Probably tying the trial in with the story freed up the resources to do this, but I think that was a price worth paying.
Did the dungeon with Trust, and it was probably a bit easy. As tank, it felt like I rarely needed the healer.
The trial was pretty fast paced and felt awesome.
The whole thing puts voidsent in a different light for me. They're souls that have basically been stuck in an endless hell ("hell is other people" rings true here) for millennia. Most of their humanity has been crushed from them, but you can see the flickers of it still lingering here or there.
For friend thing, the options were pretty weak. It's not that hard to explain that a friendship requires mutual feeling/participation. Zenos may have seen us as a friend, but because I didn't see him as one, then it wasn't a friendship.
Bit of a guess on why the 13th happened. By turning the primals into crystals, the aether wasn't returned to the cycle. The crystals themselves represent stasis (therefore light). So by capturing the primals rather than slaying, all this light energy is stored and removed from the global equation, tipping the balance into darkness. Possibly a solution would be to find these crystals, somehow release them, and slay the primal properly.
You did it, you did the meme!!!
Zero is new bae.
LoL that intro with Virgil's music is amazing. Also when I first saw Zero she reminded me of Cyber Six. And yes I feel some red flags with Zero haha.
Zzzzzzzzzz video is about as interesting as a bag of wood chips .
Game, great. This video, boring.
Half an hour flies by with your vids mate. Truly enjoy them.
My personal favourite part was the voidsent talking about Haukke Manor.
Oh, now that you mention it, it didn't occur to me that the person Golbez slew was the watcher. Guess I was blinded by the Mysidia reference. I'm looking forward to seeing how the story will go for him, considering what happens in FF4; and the Lunarians & Zeromus. I do wonder if we'll see an equivalent of Baron with that scene with king. And for sure, if they mention "keeping your sense of self", we can be sure they will draw on it later, in a way that will hurt our hearts.
>nooo you can't write a good character in just one expansion
>does it in a single patch
Love the intro Matt, but as expected, nothing comes even remotely close to Vergil drip… DMC5 is a masterpiece and for once, does justice to Vergil. I think this is the first time people insanely loved Vergil over Dante. It's not that ff14 isn't good enough, it's just that DMC5 and DMC5 Vergil are THAT good.
I'd rather believe, he killed a version of Elidibus – I dont think there is a second watcher, since the "real" Zodiark was on the Source-moon the whole time.
6.2 definitely deliver, beyond expectation even.
Dogshit new characters's VA, Zero and Golbez vere a amassive disappointment to me. Considering they put so much focus of the story on them and I don't know for how long they want to keep them relevant. They should have been better than that. The way Zero acts makes me vomit, her VA doubles it down. Golbes should have gotten super low gigachad voice instead of this 3rd sort.
i’m a reaper main since launch. zero is literally the coolest character i’ve ever seen. also the first boss in troia is literally a reapers dream lol!
Games are meant for pleasantries not pleasures. I hate geeks, bastards, delinquents, degenerates, hooligans and the diseased and allergic and people with adapting issues with spirituality and culture and health. I hate bad stuff.
the EW themed ultimate is for sure going to be the four fiends and anima right?
not sure if it's been said, but if you've done the shadowbringers role quests/warring triad, cylva and unulkahai have additional dialogue in the crystarium if you go speak to them after the MSQ
I just dont understand how WoW players put up with their shit devs when this team of devs over here in FF are smashing/pumping out content FOR ALL KINDS OF PLAYERS. Feels good to be #1 MMO bb.
Whaaaaaaat? 14 and Ishikawa wouldn't drive an emotional dagger into our hearts, twist the knife and smile as we scream tears out and let them keep stabbing.
They wouldn't do thaaaaaaat…
Smile through the pain 🙂
