  1. Its been an absolute delight following your journey so far!! Ive been along for the ride since i found you guys in Heavensward, and i havent missed a video since! You both bring something so genuine and fun into the ffxiv community, and it fills me with so much joy that you had a wonderful time at Fanfest.

    ALSO!! A million thanks for brandishing my silly little fanart on a shirt around the con! You would not believe the wide ass smile on my face hearing about the people liking and commenting on it- not to mention seeing Jesses reaction. I only wish i couldve been there in person!

    Looking forward to more of your content. Long live the Bromance!!!

  2. Fanfest is magical. I'm not the most social person but when you're in an environment full of people passionate about the same thing as you, you tend to be way more open about talking to strangers.
    Between the community, the two AMAZING concerts, and the absolute rockstar dev team this was one of the best experiences of my life. Something i will never forget.

  3. This video made me so happy. I was bummed that I couldn't make it to Fan Fest this year, but hopefully in the future! I have been a proud supporter of you guys for a long time and hopefully a long time to come! Keep being you!!

  4. I am so so happy you came here to ff14 and joined our happy family, and made so many good memories. I squealed SO hard each time you revealed you got to see one of the devs of the game. Especially Yoshi P! But omg. .Soken and all the others! So many grats!

  5. I might have been right before or right after you guys in that photo-op spot! I have a picture with YoshiP at the same location from Day 2 around the evening.

    It was a butterfly effect moment for me, too. My girlfriend and I were sitting down on the floor waiting for the Primals concert to start. We couldn't get any spots in chairs and I was bummed about it, so instead of just moping I decided to get up and stretch my legs, and that's when I stumbled on him the same way you did. If I had been sitting in a chair I would've had no reason to get up and risk losing it.

  6. Didn't know you guys were in Tampa. I'm in Orlando! First time to vegas/fan fest myself. Didn't know you guys were there! Hopefully I'll meet you guys in the future.

  7. It was amazing meeting you guys! This was my third fanfest and I can say it was easily my best convention experience BY FAR. I'm so glad y'all enjoyed yourselves and I'll see you in 2025 ๐ŸŽ‰

  8. I'm so glad you two had fun I was so worried cause endwalker confusion and spoilers abound but ya'll aren't Sprout anymore and can dodge all these spoiler mechanics all on your own /wipes tear so proud.

  9. Still kinda bummed I didn't bump into you guys (I did LITERALLY bump into Jesse over near the art carts when everyone was trying to take selfies with the Namazu in the barrel)…but I dunno what I would've said that hasn't already been said by so many others. Excited to see your journey through Endwalker and beyond! And it's funny that Kyle is so stoked on "Scream" because as soon as I heard that song in game, my first thought was "Oh man, GARRETT is going to LOVE THIS." Didn't realize it would be Kyle's cup of tea ๐Ÿ˜€

  10. Long time watcher but I don't interact super often. I must let you know that I Wholeheartedly support the ๐ŸŽ‰BROMANCE๐ŸŽ‰ and seeing you two have so much fun with FFXIV and the community you've created fills my little heart with joy. I hope to meet you at a fan fest somewhere someday. Thank you for all you do โค. TO ENDLESS ADVENTURE MY FELLOW WARRIORS OF LIGHT ๐Ÿป๐ŸŽ†๐ŸŽ‡๐ŸŒ•

  11. I'm jealous. When they first started Fanfest they did stream the concerts and they were amazing. I'm so sad they don't stream them anymore because I'm NEVER gonna be able to afford to attend live…

  12. #MonorailUnreal I am still bummed I missed seeing you guys, but despite all of the hiccups this was an amazing experience, and I'm glad you didn't come home with the souvenir virus like my son did! (I paid $25 for a large mojito at one point over the weekend, so I feel the pain of the alcohol prices.)

  13. Watching you two take the time to just talk with everyone that came to Player 1 was so wholesome. People were tired with queue after queue after queue, but they all lit up and the jovial ambiance never let up. Day 1 Meetup was worth the effort and sacrifice. Day 2 PRIMALS was just icing on the cake.

  14. It makes me so damn happy to see you two have so much fun, and just- get to hang out with each other, I really do hope for the sake of yourselves that you get to hang out in the same space again, and thank you for all the content and entertainment.

    Im in the blue dress purple hair at 7:20 (behind you both also looking at everything excited) and 8:56!! My mom is wearing a similar light blue shirt with a snarky comment about healing. Im so glad I got to meet you guys! โค

  16. OMG! That's my daughter and me behind you guys getting your first look at the con and again as you run out the door away from spoiler! I find it's amazing you had people line up to wait for you just like we do in the game when you enter a new zone. Congrats on a successful FanFest guys!! We love you both!

  17. This made me so happy to see. I watched your 5 hour fan fest vod, but this still made me emotional! So happy I found your channel! Can't wait to see your journey into Endwalker and then…coming with us on Dawntrail. Ahhhh! โค
