First!
I've loved your videos so far – I went on a bit of a deep dive after discovering you through your XIV content and started watching your other videos on Christianity. Really interesting stuff! Can't wait to see more from you in the future.
This makes a lot of sense, the names of the sin eaters were really intriguing to me (I just finished ShB and entered Endwalker for the first time) and the names of the sin eaters threw me off. This was helpful 😀
What about The Forgiven Gentleman?
That stuff with sin eaters in history reminds me of the stuff with meol
“This video was brought to you by our sponsor, the Catholic Church.”
Did you perchance mean they lost sapience and not sentience? Or come to think of it, perhaps they lost both upon turning?
I’ve been sharing your videos with my other lore enthusiast friends; your work is such a treat and I got so excited seeing you posted this on your timeline!! Especially since I’ve been helping a friend get through Shadowbringers and soon to relive the story on an alt. Keep up the amazing work!! 🫳🐈⬛💕

When are we gonna learn about Sage and Classical Humorism?

Cowardice could probably go under "sloth" too, doubt is a powerful chain
Sin eating was always interesting, and it's definitely not a Christian thing. It probably has older roots. The wages of sin is death. Its the entire reason Christ did what he did. But its fine. Many cultures have more than 1 event to handle sin and death. FF14 is the second mmo that Ive played that has so much juicy religious stuff. Its great. Also, great video.
Now I'm wondering how these names came to be in universe. The WoLs wouldn't be considered virtuous by the general population by the time they became Sin Eaters, so I'm inclined to believe Vauthrey may be responsible for their names. The rest may also be his doing, or may come from older traditions of worship of light. I'm just speculating here, though. Is there anything in the game that gives a clearer answer?
didnt expect new videos to come out this quickly, the channel is very interesting with this style of videos, also i love that 2:41 sadness was a cardinal sin lol
That was weirdly extremely enjoyable to watch.
A-ha, the name of the 3200 nuts mount makes sense to me now, since they just submit to our will
Welcome sinners
What you may want to add to this discussion is the names of the Lightwardens, besides Innocence. As the greatest (even considered greater than the Virtues,) Sin Eaters, you may wish to add them to this discussion, since they are another nod to Christian theology.
Thank you for the knowledge❤
I learned something today.
When I asked god for help, and none arrived, so I decided to “fuck it, I’ll do it myself” without his help. I was actually committing the original greatest sin.
Well, good thing God isn’t real. Lol
I named my white chocobo Forgiven Gluttony because of all the thavnarian onions it ate. Expensive fucker, but I forgive you.
I was petting a cat while watching this.
One thing about the Sin Eaters is a very little detail about a specific one: Tesleen The Forgiven
Unlike every other Sin Eater that isn't a Lightwarden, she doesn't have a sin to be forgiven, she was just "forgiven".
I think it's because, unlike other people who got turned into Sin Eaters, she didn't had any sins as she did her best at helping people that were suffering and slowly becoming Sin Eaters themselves.
I would have added the in-game lore behind why they are called sin eaters. To quote from Encyclopedia Eorzea Volume 3:
As no religion, not even that of the Church of the First Light, seemed able to provide a satisfactory explanation as to why these Light-corrupted creatures emerged, or why they attacked on sight, the people latched onto the belief that such apocalyptic horrors must exist solely to devour their mortal transgressions. To some, the "sin eaters" were salvation and damnation both
I would love to see a video essay on the Greek archetypes of love and their representation in Shadowbringers. Keep up the great work!
