Rich is more firmly in Feelsbringers now… For more, please check out his twitch stream at: https://www.twitch.tv/richwcampbell
This time around, Rich sees Ardbert’s moment with Minfilia in the past, watches Ryne come into her own as a character, kills a lightwarden in Malikah’s Well that gives his character a pretty bad tummy ache, and has to deal with the fallout of absorbing too much Light. Oh and Emet-Selch helpfully drops some more LORE BOMBS.

I love how authentic his emotions are here. You can even see the tears in his eyes. Even while streaming he's attached to the story.
RICH! aww. an untrusty worthy narrator. Smart man!
man his reactions………he is gonna need therapy for the end I'm sure LOL
Of fucking course he missed that important bit. Streamers man. Always looking at chat at the worst times lol
papi elmo
Rich here to mald some more about how useless Minfilia is despite her being one of the most important people in the game smh
Bonus point for the boss being named Storge.
Greek for familial love
I love seeing these reaction around this point because we have two different reaction depending on each person going through this. One votes for rejoining and other still thinks Ascians are terrible blight on to the world. Either way, an antagonist that could justify genocide and have half of the players agree to it only proves the writing is beyond amazing.
I swear if Rich had the choice to be hero or villain he would switch to villain instantly XD. He's all for Emet's plan not even questioning or realizing what he agreeing with.
Technically, the Japanese dub says Rin.
my fucking man, thanks so much for the fast af uploads!!
15:08 even his reactions stall
"What happened to the star that caused it to go south?"
Finally…finally you ask the RIGHT question!
"Only together, may you change the fate of two worlds"
I love finding these hints the second time around.
The sheer denial from Rich on rejoinings not being pure genocide is hysterical. Sure we're wiping 13 worlds, and all of their inhabitants, out of existence but that's definitely not genocide. Even Emet himself claims to only be able to bring himself to commit these acts by deeming all sundered beings to be "not truly alive."
Watching Rich play the story has made me appreciate so many details Ishikawa and Koji and their teams seeded into throwaway lines and details.
What an insane game—an MMO story that rewards a rewatch!
Watched him go through the whole thing through these highlights. Beginning to feel a bit weary of him in hour long bites. Should curb my own consumption, but he can be a bit much over an extended period.
Expect the 2:47 rich face to make many more appearances in the coming weeks
I love watching Rich's Shadowbringers reactions. Except so far almost every time I keep screaming at my monitor, "RICH! CURSOR!!"
every time he talks about rejoining
MonkaS
Lol it's literally a conversation about do you do what's best for yourself or what's best for the future generations? Non-ascians only think of themselves by wanting imperfection and suffering to continue so they themselves or their loved ones don't die, but an existence where all life is as it should be and there is no more suffering, even though it won't be you who benefits, is much better. Ascians did and are doing nothing wrong, don't be selfish, leave the world a better place than how you found it.
Rich needs to treat his waifu better or he's going to lose her.
15:00 was the most Rich thing I have ever experienced lmao
I'm pretty sure we are all just waiting for that key moment with you know who right before we face down you know who.
Should we have a "rich defends genocide" counter up
15:30 Oh don't worry Rich, we've got the tapes of you going through 4 out of 5 stages of grief in 3 seconds after that Ranjit fight.
I think Rich forgot the passage of time with Yshtola roleplaying and trying to live up to the "Matoya" name before he arrived in the First.
I'm surprised he still gets baited into believing random character deaths, seeing as the game has done the "cut away and pretend they are dead" thing since the bloody banquet in ARR, and the only characters to actually die are explicitly shown to have died onscreen with everyone mourning them during the next hour or so of gameplay afterwards.
Aren't we glad that Rich didn't join a scrubs/fresh UCOB group and progged it until Endwalker so we couldn't see his Shadowbringers journey until much later.
Also, I don't mind the stalling because he is taking it all in, and interacting with chat. I would rather him do that instead of me trying to do it in one sitting and retain only about half of the information.
WoW with lore: We're giving a reason for this in a book but it's different in game then we're going to retcon it later in a lore book that isn't accurate now because this one guy in a skippable side quest said different
FFXIV: Okay, lore lesson time and make sure to take some notes. It'll be used in a test/cutscenes later
casually trying to justify genocide. lol
Welcome to Dadcred
I understanding sympathising with Emet's cause, it's written in a way where we are supposed to, he is a tragic villain. There isn't another path he should take without completely ruining what makes him such a interesting and sympathetic character.
But Rich is literally going down the path of "genocide good". And I don't think he's lacking all that much context at this point. He knows what rejoinings are.
The rejoining wouldn't be so bad if not for it involving 13 instances of genocide coupled with repeated decimation of life on the source. By the time it happens likely only a fraction of the people would be left alive on the source to be rejoined.
It is also curious to consider… would the fully rejoined people have memories from their time sundered? and how would that actually effect them? Dying horribly 12-13 times can't be good for ones mental health, and considering what is later learned about the original people that would be real bad.
How blind is Rich LMAO??
That whole thing with Y'Shtola and Thancred blew my mind.
I love 90% of the streaming experience with Rich, but that other 10% is really hurting my forehead from how much I've face palmed.
ah I also chose the Yes Mother option no regrets xD
last time someone was named Rin they got a hole through their chest…
Rich sees only the suffering, and never the joy.
God man Idk why i keep watching sometimes. Rich has this unique way of pissing me off while keeping me interested. I hate some of his opinions on characters. It just feels like he missed the mark completely >.<. I'll still keep watching but I wish he was less… idk… Ugh xD. I'm glad he's enjoying it regardless.
Also sometimes it just feels like his brain withered long ago lol.
The rejoining has always been coming, Rich only ushers in this reality to the masses sooner.
50:26 Rich again supports Genocide lol
Love how down bad he gets for Urianger XD
