Quazii tries Final Fantasy XIV (FFXIV) for the first time in 2021 (Episode 50). Is it better than World of Warcraft (WoW)?

Episode 50. What a great journey it has been since Episode 1 – thanks for all your support. Episode 50 is a long one, 5.3 is proving to be too good – I left most of the important cut scenes unedited (:
This ending is just incredible. One of the best Final Fantasy stories ever – and the best MMO. End of discussion. 😁
Do you have archive of full videos? I would like to check as I never catch you streaming xD
I'm not crying. You're crying….. :'(
5.4 and 5.5 are Endwalker build up, so you've practically finished Shadowbringers arc.
One of the things you see after you gain the first crystal and start your journey as the WoL all the way back in ARR is a meteor shower. I just love how they've planted the seeds for events in Shadowbringers almost 8 years in the past and how everything just clicks into place. Truly excellent story telling. <3
So glad you could experience such a great story!
Something to note: Elidibus is the youngest member of the Convocation. Hence why he was so small in his Amorutian form. Remember back when you first entered Amorout, they all called you and friends lost children. You are all babies in their eyes 😅
So fun fact, Venat is a name that has shown up previously in FF, specifically she was the principal antagonist of FF12, a godlike being with the motivation of betraying her own kind in order to give humanity freedom, but in doing so siding with the empire in that game… Read into that as you want.
Also a quick rewatch of the earlier scene after anyder, one of the amuarotines mentions how they tried to recruit "the defector", being the 14th and were turned down. We as Azem never put stock in primals, instead choosing collective strength and alliances.
Such a beautiful ending for this amazing story, and with promises of more to come – XIV is truly a special game for us all.
Not to be overly socially conscoius, but Beq Lugg's gender is genderless and they is the proper pronoun. I know it is sometimes difficult to retrain your mind to use they pronouns, but I find that the faeries and Nu Mou as a low-effort environment to practice. It has been rough for me to move from using strictly he/she, as that's all I've known most of my life, but I feel it's worth the effort.
I love that there's a lore reason why we go around doing menial tasks for people.
Shadowbringers 5.3: Tear-Bringers. One thing I actually love about FFXIV's "dialogue choices" is they do away with the entire concept of making game-changing decisions, because obviously you can't do that really with MMOS (Yes, I know ESO has done something similar). But the way they write something as simple as two different choices purely for the flavour and emotion of the scene works so damn well.
The ominous music when Yshtola is speaking right before the Gaurdian wakes up is the original 1.0 Mor Dhona music.
Also….Did you click the map and teleport to an aethernet shard?! I never knew you could do that, if indeed that is what happened.
You didn't seem to react to it very much, but I lost my mind when it happened; the form Elidibus takes is the original design of the Warrior of Light from Final Fantasy 1 by Yoshitaka Amano (who later appears in titles like Dissidia) The Meta reference blew me away.
Now you gotta do the Role Quests, and do 5.4 and 5.5, and the rest of Eden, and watch the Endwalker trailer! 😀 I loved your jounrey from start to finish, I'm so glad you came to experience Eorzea!
Is it a frontal?
It seems obvious at this point that the game is pointing towards the Warrior of Light being an Ascian of some sort, or at least Ascian like. As is described in this game, Hydaelyn separated the worlds into the source and 13 shards by striking it. The game also went out of its way to heavily imply, if not outright state, that the Warrior of Light and Ardbert are essentially one being separated into different souls. If that's the case then is it possible that she struck one of the Ascians that summoned her, possibly the one that was sacrificed, to separate them into the different shards and create the Warrior of Light in each?
Fandaniel takes Asahi's body
WOL: Oh, thank you for this gift
draws weapon
Stop bringing the onions 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Isn't it just super funny that G'raha is a Seeker of the Sun? The amount of parallels and details in this game is astounding. So many things are taken into account in the lore, it's incredible.
I love how the ENTIRE game links in its a fantastic story … 5.3-5.5 is also incredible
A thing even missed by most of the comments. If you look at the summoning invocation, you can make out a glyph pattern between the circles, one that closely resembles what you see on the Scion Traveler's Mask. Leading some to believe that it is the Ascian face glyph for Azem.
Whether Azem is called he/she depends on the gender of your character 😉
You are Azem.
I love how you say the Ascians names haha
as someone who quit the game after 5.0, thanks for these videos
This patch made me weep back then, and Seat of Sacrifice is amazing. The Extreme version is one of the best trials in the game
Stupid onions. This is why this expansion is known as Feelbringers, especially patch 5.3.
Savor our only happy ending xD That means a lot of people are going to die next expansion.
21:43 A goal is a goal. And a role is a role. And if we don't meet no goals, we don't play no roles.
"I guess rain is a view, too." I laughed.
In their defense, though: Thancred was in the First for five years, and Urianger three. They've been in a night-less, weather-less world for so, so long. We have a tendency to take rain for granted and won't normally sit in it, but for people like them who haven't seen or felt the rain in what must've felt like an eternity, I imagine sitting in the rain and watching a cloudy sky extend over a large lake WOULD be an incredible view.
what the name of song at the end?
When G'raha Tia asks you to take him on your next adventure, that destroyed me all over again.
the VA for Lyna is excellent. I always cry during her last speech and that last choke holding the tears sound…
One thing I haven't seen anyone talk about is of Elidibus when he reverts to his true form of sorts. He was a kid. A kid with the literal weight of the world put on his shoulders from the very beginning. I wept at his death, a poor kid that didn't deserve the fate he got. Remember them all.
Hol up… Hythlodaeus calls you his "new old friend"
Which is also what Zenos calls you…
We found out that Ardert and the WoL were once the same person before the Sundering….
So could this mean that Hythlodaeus and Zenos were once………
Congratulations on finishing the true ending of Shadowbringers! It's been a hell of a ride 🙂 Onwards to Endwalker to end it all! :O
This ending is a gut-kicker; most of the time you want to feel good about destroying the bad guy and this is just… yeah not so great feeling.
You might try to get all the role quests done before Endwalker. It not only gives more backstory to each of the other WoL / WoD in Ardberts party. When you do all 5 you get another quest chain that ties into the waring triads and also ties in to basically the complete beginning of 14 in 1.0 with a specific character. Granted, the ShB trailer already tied back to the 1.0 opening by having the WoL start as an Archer in the cinematic, before changing to Warrior, Dragoon and then Samurai, before becoming Dark Knight, basically the job changes reflect the expansions/ parts of the game.
Can't wait to see his reaction to the G-Warrior!
Another cool detail is if you think back to ARR to the quest where you had to visit the altars of the Twelve and pray to each, the only one that didn’t give you a response was Azem’s.
i think Thancred CAN wield aether in the source, is just that the manatrigger (or gunblade) still use enchanted cartridge 🙂
Dude. Venat is a woman.
drinking game: take a shot every time Quazii thinks a mechanic is a frontal
There are many small things that I think you kinda missed quazii 😡
1. As someone said before, this boss is FF 1's warrior of light, the dissidia model
2. The red wyrm is actually bahamut
3. The ancient that appeared IS emet-selch, tho only his projection
4. Elidibus have LB4 lol
5. The other jobs he summoned is Ff4's character reference
6. Limit breaks elidibus uses is actually the same one we use, LB3 is blm's meteor LB3. LB2 is physical range's, and LB1 is melee's
Indeed, after the void It is indeed Emet-Selch xD @1:51:15
"the girl he wants to be with" lmao you're literally the girl
Ah! You caught that Thancred’s gunblade uses bullets embued with aether in the bag Y’shtola tosses to him! It was one of my favorite little details in that cutscene. Without Ryne, he needs someone new, Y’shtola, to do it for him. That smile from him kind of gives me the feeling of acceptance and moving on from his end. Great mini note of closure on that story thread.
