  1. Heeeey, good job with finishing Heavensward, with one of the most beautiful cutscenes this game has to offer, Omega vs the dragon who's name is unknown for now !
    So, as I said last episode, there's a little thing I need to explain about that dragon, without spoiling of course.
    Basically, there's a reason why that dragon looks a lot like both Bahamut and Nidhogg, and it's because Ilberd is the one that summoned it.
    It was explained during Heavensward that the Shiva our friend summoned wasn't the original one, and instead the "image" of how she was perceived by the summoner. Same thing about that new wyrm.
    The thing it, Ilberd probably didn't see Bahamut nor Nighogg, but he heard everything about how strong they were, and the legends around them. He basically tried to summon Bahamut again, but it became a whole different entity, as strong as the other dragons, but according to the beliefs and experiences of Ilberd.
    It is indeed associated with (corrupted) Water.
    On the other hand, Omega is a construct, with unknown origins (until you eventually discover them, that is), but is said to be able to defeat Primals, and it shows. It looks like a beetle and a tank at the same time, seems goofy but is armed to the teeth.
    So, now is time for Stormblood, and it's going to be a different kind of ride, but enjoyable nonetheless.
    That part of FFXIV is my least favorite in terms of storytelling, but it's still very good, and both the gameplay and the environments are going to skyrocket in quality from now on.
    You should probably react to Stormblood's opening soon, it's really good, but maybe it's better to wait until you reach a city called "Kugane". Your choice, friend !
    Take care, stay hydrated, and keep having fun~

  2. Oh, I forgot to tell you something :
    Yda is a character the Warrior of Light saw during a Echo cutscene during FFXIV 1.0 (ARR is 2.0, so it was before the game was remade from scratch, and before the fall of Bahamut).
    But as Lyse said, she died at some point, and Lyse replaced her, before the WoL of 1.0 even met with her. So the "Yda" you know was always Lyse. Her sister was already gone for a long time. The only time the original Yda was seen was during that specific cutscene I talked about.

  5. 6:55 a lot of people hate on Yda in Stormblood. I love her though, some of her lines are downright hilarious and by the end she really has like "close buddies" feels with the Warrior of Light.

  6. Rhalgr's element is actually Umbral-aspected Lightning (each of the Twelve correspond to one of 6 elements in either Astral or Umbral – Active or Stagnant)!

    That aside, I'm really pumped for you to experience Stormblood! While it may not be nearly as beloved as the other expansions (for good reasons), it really has a lot of landscapes that I'm sure you'll absolutely love exploring! Hope to see your trailer reaction!
