(Episode 3)
We have arrived at the finale of Heavensward. The expansion that has offered us a ton of great content, features and more but all for it to feel nearly ripped away from us at the last moment. The drums of War now sound.

I miss Yda. There was something great about having a total airhead be such a stone-cold badass. It's like if Phoebe from "Friends" was also a championship MMA fighter.
IDK if chat told you or not but that cocoon just hung out there. In the sky FOR MONTHS between 3.5 and 3.55.
Note this Caff, when you get to Endwalker, there is a sidequest called 'Sandwiches and Pretzels' its a very minor, easy to miss quest, but You Must Do It. Trust me.
ngl sometimes having adhd is great if anything because i completely forget some details and i get to be surprised anyways. i was so damn surprised to see ilberd and went "YOU" because i forgot his stupid ass entirely with everything else that happened up to that point
Not sure if this is a better end than ARR but it's damn close
I've been waiting for this one
This is me cooking, but I think the only reason they wrote the Lyse/Yda switcharoo (the real Yda died before the events of 1.0, she was never in game) is as a retcon because Lyse is too stupid to justify she being an archon, who are supposed to be the best scholars of Sharlean, and Lyse is as dumb as a bag full of bricks.
Part of what makes FFXIV great is that it's willing to make the hard choices narratively. Some great characters are gone, never to return. But also never to be forgotten.
Many PS3s died to bring us the Omega/Primal fight cutscene.
Oh god, do people really call him Goatsetsu? That's… not right.
I just imagine Lyse is like a head shorter then Ida and the scions just look at each other like "you know what, sure"
The loss of an old friend, but new friends made.
I hope you enjoy Stormblood, it has some of my favorite characters in it.
Both good people, and fantastic villians.
Well, to clarify something, Ilberd was masking as â*The Griffin*â which was his title there, not his name⊠monk quests actually give a lot of Ala Mhigan lore, Iâd highly recommend them
Schloppy.
Ripperroni in Pepperroni, PapaMeow
God, I can't wait for him to do Stormblood. Again, the first half is rough cause the pacing is so slow.
But the Trials, the story post that halfway point and the raids
Good Lord, I can't wait for him to do the Stormblood Raids.
I really wish the removed MSQ quests would be added back as optional content. Papalymo Totolymo shines in stuff I'll remember but modern players won't see.
There was a quest where Ramuh-tempered sylphs store his appearance and paraded his likeness around in parody.
People should know, and remember.
Something I tried to say in chat but is still important, without spoiling any other games, in FF5 you can fight both Shinryu and Omega as optional superbosses, SNES era game and all, and thereâs texts that references them as enemies whoâve clashed many times and were rivals in a sense⊠but we never see it. Itâs merely something we can read up on in that game that has no bearing on its plot.
This clash between them was vindication for a plot beat from another game over 20 years in the making from the time FF5 originally released to 2017 when Stormblood was on the horizon. Think about the people who were kids when FF5 came out in Japan who then played this.
2:40 well, the tunnel goes past the wall, not into the fortification itself so.. Not very useful for stopping the incursion.
seeing tupsimati as a weapon in granblue fantasy makes me miss papalymo
From the first time you called him Papameow, I was like, "No! He gave him an endearing nickname. This will not end well."
It's always so cool that we all have different favorite scions. I liked Papalymo, but my favorite has always been Urianger.
ALWAYS thank your healers. We can just leave your corpse there.
Its really interesting to see your videos and your perspective, as someone who is about an expansion ahewd of you in the MSQ. Great to hear others' thoughts on big moments like this
Everyone has been waiting for this the moment you showed your love for Papameow
So many comments just casually dropping spoilersđ
you said Papalymo was your favorite character and we knew. we all knew…
Papalymo's death his different. Up to this point, the only people who died, were the ones introduced in the same expansion, or just a couple of quests before, the point of their death. Papalymo on the other hand, is one of the characters you meet in the introduction phase of the game, and was even in 1.0. And yet… there was a whole lot of fuzz over Moenbryda's death, including a funeral… but no such thing for poor little Papalymo. Because of the war Ilberd forced to start, we don't have the luxuary of taking our time with such things and his mourning period kinda fall to the wayside. :/
Here's an interesting bit of trivia. When this patch first dropped the title it gave you was "Papalymo's Final Witness" but they changed it to "The Finest Pupil's Ally" because the the original was too much of a spoiler.
0:59 — They also dealt with a giant unexpected climate shift from temperate grass and wood lands to frozen tundra within a matter of days – think about "The Day after Tomorrow", something like that. Somehow, even though we know of this, there arent many hints about how the Ishgardiens struggled because of also that… I mean, its mentioned here and there but we do not see pre-Calamity Coerthas ingame…
9:36 — He is NOT known as that -.-
Though I started in Gridania as an Archer, I never really grew close to either Yda or Papalymo… Then HW comes along and they are just gone. Then they appear again and all they have to say is "oh darn, we send you a letter" – and I was like "… really? I fight for an entire city trying to stop a 1000year war and you guys send a letter…? … Okay, yeah, sure, I know how it is" – in short: I was pissed at both of them. They were there the whole time while we were worried sick of them (I was also pissed at Thancred that he stayed in the wilderness instead of making his way to us, but they didnt quite say when he was thrown out of the Life Stream so I let it pass). A letter!? You send a letter to your friends who would give their lives for you and you are like "nah, this is more important, keeping an eye on the resistance…" – which is wasnt, they didnt learn anything we couldnt have learned from any other member of the resistance, especially with Gundubald backing us up. – To make a long story short, I wasnt too upset that Papalymo was gone… Like you said, we've already gotten used to his absence during HW and though we have to take the time between patch releases into account, I cant remember Papalymo being especially prominent in those patch quests since he and Yda returned… so there was no re-bonding with these two.
Papalymo đ He deserved so much more.
Papalymo hit way harder than Haurchefant for me, personally. Big hugs Caff.
rip papa meow, was waiting for that moment
as a gridanian starter myself, life is tough
You just finished up what was the old end-point for the trial! I'm curious if the Caff Dad would have been convinced to buy the game after this point or not.
Fun Fact: Gosetsus german VA is also the voice of dr Cox from scrubs. Thats why i put my language to english because i couldnt unhear it
Been waiting for this episode since it became clear that you really liked Papamiauw.
No spoiler, but one thing. Papalymo and other scions comes from sharlyan, where we will visit in later expansion.
Fellow follower and ally of The Finest Pupil
Back in heavensward ending i jokingly said "well that is 3 friends down, do i hear 4". I somewhat forgot Papalymo a bit …
Granted Estinien survived, but just to quote tfs Vegeta again. "DO I HEAR FIVE!?"
The first dungeon end boss in Heavensward is a random Gryphon in a side dungeon. The last dungeon end boss in Heavensward is "The Gryphon".

My boyfriend calls Lyse "Lice". And it drives me mad
