Quazii tries Final Fantasy XIV (FFXIV) for the first time in 2021 (Episode 41). Is it better than World of Warcraft (WoW)?

"Was the fruit as sweet as he remembered?" – Life without love is like a tree without fruit. RIP Tsuyu.
'Tsuyu deserve a kinder fate' TT
Why would someone be mad about you doing Shinryu blind? Blind runs are half the fun!
Hien excusing Jifuya's actions in this story is… something that has never sat well with me. I think it was a major misstep by the writers. I feel like they were trying to make the story about redemption, but it overlooked the cause of justice.
Tsuyu definitely did deserve better.
Man you really don't need to care about randoms being mad about your blind run. Let say the newest patch just got released with a new trial, everyone goes in blind. You deserve the same experience especially you run these at min IL as a pre-made.
Dammit, I'm choking up again. She did deserve better.
Someone was mad you did Shinryu blind??? IMO that is the only way people should ever experience story mode trials/dungeons/raids. Not doing it blind spoils half of the fun….
Whenever Alphie dove off that pier, I laughed sooo hard…
@54:49 Angry potato looks like a child that was just had a chocolate bar taken off her.
Asahi is by far the most hated character of ffxiv!
As far as Zenos's bullshit revival, it's indeed not as bullshit as it looks like. Early in the after ARR patchs, don't you remember A sahagin priest with the power of the echo body surfing after death? Zenos, as a resonant, should be able to do the same.
Damn, that Tsukuyomi fight. How am I supposed to do my rotation and deal with mechanics when I'm too busy jamming to that music?
Tsuyu's arc is highly underrated, and thematically Tsukuyomi is one of my favourite fights in the game. I think they should bring her back as a summon in other single player FF games. Goddess of Vengeance or such.
Many of you may not notice by Yotsuyu just use fantasia to change from hyur to viera
Please don't pay any mind to anyone getting mad about doing fights blind. No one has any obligation to spoil themselves on fights just to have a better chance of clearing the first time and altering or potentially ruining their first experience of a fight.
Shadowhunter is such a cool name
Kinda sad you didn't notice Gosetsu protecting her from Zenos.
lol ppl crying he not doing the mechanics in a normal mode of fight is th same ppl who say have you watch the "clear" video on a normal mode fight too haha.
Man the Tsuyu arc was so good
Burh, you're the only streamer I saw that figured out the moon phase immediately lol. Great blind run
She's one of my favorite characters. Her arch is so good. I made 2 tributes to her on my channel 😮
Was so sad that Tsuki did not live. WIshed they redeemed her and left her alive with Gosetsu, mans had enough loss.
This is the part I wanted to talk about. A lot went into the choreography of this trial. Between the leitmotifs in music for all 3 phases and the symbolism in the fight.
The music of the first phase, Nightbloom. It's the Garlean/Ala Mhigan Anthem, but given a tragic tone. This is a fight that could have been avoided, but you are forced into fighting her after she turns herself into a Primal.
The music of the second phase, Lunacy. This is the Yanxia theme, but distorted. The whole phase is a reflection of Yotsuyu's past, and the torture she went through. The reason why Spectral Gosetsu shows up to save her from Spectral Zenos is because Gosetsu is probably the only person who is unconditionally kind to her, despite her almost killing him. While it was only for a short time, he has already left a huge mark on her.
Finally, the music for the last phase, Wayward Daughter. The song is sung by a male and female. The lyrics from female is about the current misery and dilemma of Yotsuyu and Tsuyu, while the lyrics from the male is sung by her tormentors, included her parents.
Through the fight, there's a clear symbolism of the Red spider lily, also known as lycoris radiata or higanbana is a bright red flower that is often found around graveyards in Japan. The bulb of the flower is poisonous, and they are planted at graves as tribute for the dead. They are associated with death and legends say if you meet someone you'll never see again, these flowers will bloom along the path. They also symbolize loss, longing, abandonment and lost memories.
All phase transition attacks have a giant spider lily in them, and the flower grows during the late summer/early autumn rainy season, which is also known as "Tsuyu".
(Thanks to
Hennnibear for the info on the symbolism)
Yeah, you pretty much got all of them right. Reprimand's the raidwide, Torment's the tank buster, the stacks are a "don't hit 5 or you die", and you just avoid things and come back in for stacks. The only things you missed are: The adds are attacking her, actually, and that's what builds up her power, but the memory of Gosetsu fights off Zenos to protect her; the circle stack is supposed to be an Akh Morn stack, meaning you stay stacked until the pulses are done, and she adds one pulse every time she casts it! (That gets used a lot throughout the game for soft enrages.)
As usual, good intuition! The game, by this point, has set up the basic markers and rules, and this fight kinda makes sure that you understand it all. I appreciate that, instead of a redemption, her arc is presented as a tragedy that she couldn't escape, but that the people involved at least had some good come to them!
FFXIV: Ok so they just won a war. Time to kill someone.
Players: But many already died.
FFXIV: Well we'll bring some back and rekill one of them… and this time it'll really hurt.
Players: T.T
When I failed my exams in school or when I never got promoted at work, I blamed the Ascians.
The story of Gosetsu and Yotsuyu is so devastating. I didn't want to say anything leading up to this but this part made me cry so hard. Even in her mind Gosetsu came to save her. I cried again watching this, damn this story is so good. The crazy thing is that it still gets better.
