Can't wait to have a nice Valentine's date with the boys.
Not even 30secs in and you have earned my like, thats gotta be a record.
One of the reasons you KNOW that Elpis isn’t a simulation is when Elidibus suddenly remembers seeing you there. That would make literally no sense if he’s just making a simulation. He remembers you only because you went to the real Elpis. Also the whole memory erasure thing wouldn’t make sense or matter too. It’s just deductive logic.

I love when they make theories
I never made that connection of Ysayle and Haurchefant at the end of HW…. Wildly interesting to think about in this lens.
LOL WOW…that pillow…a bit disturbing. lol
I will die on this hill. Hermes is a better character than Emett.
It's easy to love Emett for all the sassiness and what not – but Hermes is profoundly "human".
Hermes saw beyond what his society thought was OK and Normal, and everytime he tried to call them out on it, he would get patronizing answers of " Its all good mate – just don't worry about it ".
Everytime he tried to connect with someone – he got pushed aside for his thinking and views, without a second thought.
I stand by the notion that it wasn't Hermes per se, that caused the final days – but in fact, it was the society's collapse from within that was already happening, and everyone was pretending not to see it.
By putting their DUTY in front of their *Feelings*, they neglected themselves – Hermes pulled the trigger, but Their Society built the fooking gun
"Your Scientists Were So Preoccupied With Whether Or Not They Could, They Didn't Stop To Think If They Should" is a quote that entirely summarizes Ancient society as a whole for me
Another great vid as always. Loved the multi-cam setup
The Elidibus-Warrior of Light form is explained by a much simpler thing: It's a primal. It's formed by the hopes and dreams of the people who wish for deliverance of the world, fueled by the champions from beyond the rift. And it's appearance is based on the form Elidibus took when he larped as the warrior of light in the early days of the first.
I maintain that its impssoble to get spoiled for endwalker because all of it sounds like bs, and then when you get thereyou would die for that elephant man. Like im over here ready to open my trenchcoat of zenos theories, but which of them are real and which of them are my fan theories that stem from him laying eggs in his eikon fight.
Another banger video from Kyle and Regular Human Streamer Guy Garrett (who is totally a regular human and definitely not a vampire)
Garrett nailed Emet there
One aspect brought up by some people, is that Emet explains when you meet him at Ktisis, that the convocation has measures to be able to tell if you are lying. Meaning that during the tea scene, not only was he upset at the story, he was upset that he could tell you weren't lying.
When you guys called Meteon Twitter girl I saw the likes in Hermes sending out tweets seeking hope thru tweets finding nothing but dispair on twitter. How very meta.
Am I going crazy or did the thumbnail change?
Hermes, and by consequence Amon, are definitely very multi-layered characters that took me further replays to fully understand.
There's some justice in him erasing his own memories: First, because he feels extremely guilty of what he had done to his sentient scouting machines, and second is to combat his own apocalypse as a man, deeming himself deserved of being judged by oblivion.
4:15 Say sorry to crystal mommy right now
I was one of the Hydaelyn/Venat defenders, and I don't expect an apology. If anyone does, they need to get off the Internet for a while.
They seem to never mention that this now answers why Emet appeared to save the WoL in The Seat of Sacrifice. He regained his memories when he died, and knew that it was his duty to keep us alive to make sure we would at least make it to the time loop in order for us to have even a chance of saving Etheirys.
What happened to the cool thumbnail?
screaming
So close to the end and still so much left to see. I’m super excited to see you both go through everything Endwalker has to offer
I've never bashed on a video's thumbnail before, but dear god is that terrifying
I just want to point out, not only did FFXIV pull off a time travel plot, but also introduced a “twist villain that was behind it the whole time” without players being taken out of the experience
The meals being cooked today are absolutely exquisite.
Every time I watch one of your videos and you get speculative, I really want to channel my inner Jesse Cox and look at you smugly, assume a Gendo pose and comment "Iiiiinteresting" at everything you say. The thing you get right as well as the one you get wrong get me smiling so much. (Not telling you which is which obviously)
