(Episode 5)
With the rallying cry of the resistance still ringing in the air, we gather allies, acquire gear and prepare for the coming storm of blood! I think at least. We work our way through the expansion fighting back at the empire

The national anthem is actually the one for ala mhigo but it's been bastardized by the garlic bread empire. Kind of a fun detail emphasizing the imperialism. It's the same music that'll play in the background of the reach
I really love Zenos 💗💗💗💗. He's such a great character
Gotta love the thirst-riddled story of Boulder’s team.
It’s still amazing that someone took the time to add in these moments for side characters, even tho about 95% or so of players will never see their lines.
I suggest playing up to Endwalker and not playing the current xpac if you care about story and characters. Also how can you find the dungeons fun? They changed from ARR's type dungeons to HW and onward where you pull a pack kill repeat kill boss. Get blocked by a door or wall. The formula never changes.
Sadly missed the stream thanks to returning from vacation but, will be here later!
You need to hear Pipin's Japanese voice at least once. It's great! 😀
just so you know, you can actually just buy the accessories with poetics at the same npcs that sell you the rest of the armor, you don't need to do savage for those!
I'm glad you're enjoying stormblood, Caff Dad! 🙂 It's been a little while since I've been in stormblood, so it's nice to see things that I've forgotten about/missed.
"Ford Focus" and the other silly names make me lol.
Storm of blood
Born from blood
Of our fallen brothers
(I didn't have anything silly to say this time, but I do need to get an umbrella for that coming storm)
Amazing. The two old school extremes are still mentioned.
A storm is coming.. A storm…. of blood…..!
I just call her Mango.😻🥭
Very mild spoilers because I forget if its clear at this point. The Garlemald National Anthem is not their Anthem. Its them repurposing the Ala Mhigan Anthem and twisting it to be pro-Garlemald. This is also the Stormblood Leitmotif that you'll hear all the time through the expansion, such as the Quest Turn-In music as well as the Rhagar's Reach background music.
I can't wait for you to see more of Zenos… he has one of those "fan favorite" personalities.
"Raubahn Extreme" happened because it's a solo instance very early on in the expansion, and of course when there's a new expansion you have like tens of thousands of players eagerly going through the story and oh god the instanced duties server is now on fire.
So yeah, they don't do solo instances early in the expansion any more. And since Shadowbringers the early part of the MSQ splits in two directions to split up the players so they don't overcrowd any one area.
your chocobo companion is very helpfull, i highly recommended training it. it can heal, tank and dps for you
Pipin is totally just Raubah's left arm that grew legs.
A little world-building detail you might not know: the Garlean ranks are sorted in alphabetical order. The further down you move in the alphabet the higher the person's rank
Zenos's rank is "yae"
Only one rank exists above it. And that is "zos". Which is reserved for the Emperor.
Aenor is in fact the thirstiest bitch in all of Eorzea
If any free trial people are playing along: Get your missing level 60 gear in Azys Lla or Rhalgar's Reach. 62+ gear will be in the next big city after Rhalga'rs Reach.
Tomestone gear will be better(level 60 in ishgard after beating heavensward) but this'll hold you over if you ran out of poetics until you get some dungeon drops.
If any full game owners are playing along: ask around for new player friendly FC, they will be lining up to give you HQ crafted gear because FFXIV players love sprouts(Aggressively)
"Several cutscenes will play" – these few words are enough to send every FF14 player into a PTSD fit…
Absolutely terrible jokes about Raubahn's condition. Puns are a lot like practicing medicine: the first rule is "Do no arm."
>"He's only alright."
>alright
>all right
>:(
1:40 her name is Ford Corolla, thank you
Yay! You've met our combat-sexual frenemy.
The snake people are Allagan constructs I think which is why you see them in Azys Lla and the Coils
Fun fact about that Garlean "National Anthem".
It's not. This is… technically revealed later, but it's not a big plot critical detail, just a world-building thing. They stole the Ala Mhigan Anthem, and rewrote it to praise Garlemald instead. Because remember, Ala Mhigo has been ruled by Garlemald for about 20 years.
It's worth noting that Aenor's dialogue changes as youy progress through MSQ
