I think this is the craziest bit of lore we’ve ever had dropped on us. SO much to absorb and so many more things to question and contemplate. Did Hydaelyn really give us our blessing? Have we been a puppet all along? Who are we REALLY? Why is Elidibus making new warriors of light? What in the convocation of 14 is going on in this game?!

I always appreciate your connection, and thus, perception, of the nuances in this story.
If you’re gonna compare the 2 of them, Emet is a sociopath while Elidibussy is a psycopath.
Glad I stumbled upon your channel, really enjoying your content
I was so mad when I realized what Elidibus was doing to our boy's name and reputation.
I never did the other role quests, so I had no idea about the Cyella option during the cutscene. That was a gut punch!
Is there a video of your Cyella questline completion?
I played this patch on release and never have revisited it. This patch was overshadowed by the next one so I had mostly forgotten it. but holy shit 5.2 is so important.
15:30 When I got to this part I went back to my room and replayed the early cs that you get and yes, I saw the very same fire falling from the sky, it was so weird and cool that they used something that is a very distant memory XD (I started to play back in day two of ff14 ARR lol)
18:36 I picked the first option and he was like "what are you mad or something?" He was so confused on what I was trying to do. XD
31:10 Nah, you are not Venat.
48:08 Lahabrea wouldn't give you an ability to fight him! According to Urianger, you already had the echo, Hydaelyn simply enabled it by showing you a vision of the past. As much, you are from Amaurot in the past. Lahabrea uses the echo to fuse with other people like Thancreed, other acsians (like you have seen) Also Zenos used the echo to fuse and control the dragon. Also the echo grants you visions from the past, memories from other people, as you have experienced so many times and that's the only way that the WoL/D uses it: by accident.
48:46 That's copium. ascians would not give power to some random dude to alter the balance they need for the rejoining.
I did the same thing after 5.2. I went and rewatched all of the beginning of 2.0. And blew my mind.
I absolutely love watching you go through the story and sharing theories that come to mind as you do. You are such a pleasure to watch, keep up the great gameplay and editing!
Watching your mind twist and roil and choke and twist as the crazy lore dumps come one after another is a real treat.
