Arenvald has ascended. He is no longer B-Plot, that honour goes to Hoary Boulder now. Arenvald is solid A.5-Plot now.
watching vid in bed this morning
Vid: "Cults Happen – Kyle, 2023"
Husband: "So when's that a shirt?"
Me: "Give them a day, they just released the video."
Now that you're finally reaching the end of Shadowbringer, i can say this : While Shadowbringer is the best standalone expansion due to how isolated to the first the events are, Endwalker is the best expansion when taking all your journey into account.
4:21 🙂
I think I was one of the few people who actually recognised Arenvald when he first turned up in Stormblood because I had a habit of visiting the side room in the Waking Sands right after joining the Scions. I kind of liked him right from the start since he pretty much joined at the same time as you and you got to see his friends encouraging him early on before they die in the aftermath of Titan. He also is one of the people who welcome you back to the Waking Sands after defeating the Ultima Weapon at the end of 2.0. He definately fell into B plot but I had a soft spot for him being one of the few original Scions to survive to HW. Almost everyone else outside the main scions, including Hoary Boulder, joined after that.
Garrett loves buildings that move? Huh. I'm sure he'll love the latest Normal Raid in Endwalker. 😊
now that they're done…
5.3 ex when? XD
15:13 😂😂😂😂😂

I'm so glad you guys were able to make it to a legitimately good stopping point in the game before your break, because thinking back…I'm not sure how many more of those you've got left.
Just lost my sprout icon a couple days ago. Now I don't get to make mistakes in dungeon roulettes anymore 🙁
Absolutely beautiful cut in of your two characters at 0:14, actually had to rewatch to catch it.
4:46 Tempered killer Kyle, my worst nightmare.
5:20 Nope, it's a good thing when, even as you're saying something, you go to yourself "No, wait, no. That's not right." One of us, one of us.
7:30 "He looked at his character sheet, saw that every bonus was against dragons, and said his time has come." This is so absolutely perfect.
16:44 "Cults Happen" Kyle 2023. Another memorable quote from GG.
18:08 "Revelry for Garlemald!" I just had my own "Oh my God Kyle" moment.
22:35 Kyle speech about government civic projects had me in stitches. That is about as far from what Zenos cares about as it is possible to be.
I laughed when Garrett stopped on "come out" for the cat and then literally walked out of the closet 😂
oh no wonder you enjoyed ffxiv… you were a newcomer. Yosheep loves and relys on newcomers… def not a fun game for someone who been around for 2-3+ expansions.
I am SO happy you started this game. .and you have had SO much fun you are actually going to Fanfest!!! And that for a game you weren't really into. We are so happy and honoured you have joined the ff14 family and I wish you all the best at the fanfest!
Proud of you, boys.
Garrett, the nerd is coming from inside the house!
Dexter has a fluffy belly
Ascian Arenvald is the big bad of Endwalker
First snakes and now lizards? Will Garret’s hate never end?! 😂
you're in the big leagues now.
Great video 😀 i had lots of fun also watching you guys do this live
I was a fool to think you were exaggerating about the Hawaiian shirts 😅

Paglth'an it's a dungeon that caught me by surprise. If you think about it, it's such a simple set up for it, just a simple desert dungeon, nothing but rock and sand but, between what it's happening there, the way they handled the light of the sunset and the music going so hard, they managed to make one of the spiciest potatoes in the game.
Also, I remember when I lost my sprout. I had been asking my friend when I'd lose my sprout, at least once every week since I started Shadowbringers, and when it happened right after I finished EW, it was like "woah… I'm not a noob anymore…?" I legit missed the little thing, and I still consider myself a noob regardless now.
Ya'll ain't even prepared for this next ride
Batman Forever was one of my favorite movies growing up…my taste in movies has not improved since 😅 Great summary of 5.55 part 1❤ Have a fantastic time in Vegas and your well-deserved break🎉❤
Neat fact: The Garlean capitol being turned into a chaotic tower which is the focus of all that aetherial business by the machinations of a madman is a reference to Final Fantasy 6, where the Ghestalian Empire (a magitek empire much like Garlemald, and is in fact where their aesthetics come from) gets ruined and taken over by Kefka Palazzo, a clownish madman who has supreme control over magic (much like an Ascian and Creation magics), who builds his tower right on top of Vector, the imperial capitol, using whatever trash and ruins are around. Kefka's Tower is the final dungeon of FF6, and is where you see Kefka use his Light of Judgement from to burn various parts of the World of Ruin (including various villages of survivors around the world).
It's a neat parallel reference I don't see being brought up a lot, but was definitely there to enjoy for those who know the plot beats of other FF games.
Wow, Garret's really bringing out the gun show in that last shot!
Maybe it's just the nerds we nerded along the way.
I was very sad when I lost my sprout. Basically left alone in the giant world of 14 and still not really knowing I'm doing
Pagl’than is one of my favorite dungeons of all time, if not THE best dungeon imo

My husband is a long-time DM as well and would love this idea of holding the cultists in stasis forever to be your summoning engine. I don't know whether to show him videos about it or not because he hasn't been able to finish ARR since he is legally blind and it's hard for him to play because he can't see all the attacks being telegraphed. Plus he chose to be a black mage, so you can guess how well that's going. But he'd love the idea to use cultists like that, so I'm torn. When I say he's a big table-top gamer I mean our basement is filled wall-to-wall with gaming materials and settings. That's all it's used for.
