  1. oh sweet, i was waiting for this!!!

    Hades DID NOT disappoint, my advice to new players is always "turn up your music"

    i recall Main Tanking Endsinger and asking in chat "did she just throw a PLANET at us!?" and one the healers responded with "yes, and she'll do it many, many more times"

    and i love the fake out and lightly troll new players with "oh no enrage timer…" "what already?" "oops sorry, i meant for us" from a comment on a music video, always love seeing players reactions to that comment 😀

  2. Man I would love to see an FF11 video for FF11. I will admit I only knew of FF11 and loved it by coming across a fact that Eald'narche and Kamlanaut were scrapped from Dissidia Duodecim with Shantotto and Prishe chosen as 11's reps instead

  4. 19:06 The Story of Endwalker has already concluded. The devs have been pretty firm about that. The current patch MSQ is a prologue for the multi-expansion story arc. That's why there was no final boss in patch 6.3, as there was in the other x.3 patches.

  5. Níðhöggr still my favorite followed closely by WoL (even if I agree with the derivative comment you made).

    (A shame I have to turn off bgm at my favorite fight.)

  6. I could not be still through this whole video, ahaha, I kept yelling and bouncing. SO excited to see y'all cover these!
    I really appreciate how you also included the fights that now don't exist, like the "old" Lahabrea fight; it's a good change and manages to keep the challenge without losing the story impact for those playing through ARR for the first time.
    As for which is my "favorite" – in many ways the Nid-stinien fight is right up there, I had so much investment in the story by then and the conclusion was so satisfying because of that. Same for Seat of Sacrifice in Shadowbringers (and for those that have played that, if you know, you know: The Snap!). I was quite emotional about that one too, I don't mind admitting.
    Endsinger was in some ways easier than the dungeon preceding that (Dead Ends, I hate you dearly). But the payoff! So good.
    And as a last mention, Tsukuyomi still makes me super sad. The conclusion there (and the "loss" of a specific NPC after) just tears me up in all sorts of ways. I didn't even like Yotsuyu, how dare the devs make me care about her death!
    And every one of these fights has made for great conversations with so many friends, with my brother, my son, and my husband too – all four of us played through Endwalker at the same time, with MUCH swearing and crying. (Well. I cried, anyway!)
    So thank you – thank you, thank you, thank you! My heart is content <3

  7. One important thing you forgot to mention – Endsinger is fought on the back of Shinryu, a PREVIOUS final boss, turned temporary ally, which I think is a first

  8. Pardon me, but in the fight against Hades, the Active Time Maneuver does not wipe the full party should one player fail the mechanic. The player simply remains dead.

    It's sad, cause I've seen way more players fail that during Warrior of Light, where its mandatory, while here where its not, its easier.

  9. The first line, “MMOs are well known for the expansive and intricate stories.”

    Which MMOs are you referring to? The only real story-based MMOs that are known for the story are LOTRO, FFXI up to Treasures and skip to Rhapsodies, and 14. I’ve never heard someone they play WOW or any other MMO for the story.

  10. I'd argue that the second final boss of Stormblood isn't Tsukiyomi, but instead the instance that was introduced in patch 4.56 against Elidibus possessed Zenos. Sure, we didn't defeat him there, but neither did we "defeat" Zenos in the Royal Menagerie in 4.0.

  11. No. Lahabrea is not the true final boss of ARR. That would be Ultima Weapon. Lahabrea is a post-final boss, such as yu yevon in ffx. Vishap was just a regular trial. It didn't even have an EX version. Basically, if there's a "Minstrels Ballad" of a fight, then it's the final boss of some story arc.
