We're FINALLY BACK Time to finish this, god damn it.
Before we hop in, there've been a few comments recently regarding a couple of things we'd like to address.
1) – We make too many cuts.
– Video cuts are made to shorten render times as PC is needed for work. Sophie tries her hardest to make sure the cuts still make sense to the story!
– 99% of viewers have played and are here to see reactions. If there are none that are significant, then cuts might be made, especially in the less 'big' moments! If you want to watch one of the epic cutscenes again in full, these videos might not be the best thing!
2) – Many comments pointing out older content that we missed resulting in less cool interactions with characters in Endwalker MSQ!
– We don't have much time to play together so we sometimes have to watch playthroughs of raid series. This results in us being somewhat knowledgeable but it does not reflect in-game. E.G. We watched playthroughs of Omega and Coils for the Endwalker expansion
Honestly.. What you said about Thancred not being as affected… I never thought of that. He was obviously affected, but not enough that he was on the floor. Now that I think about it- could his inability to use aether have anything to do with it? :O
I believe it is their corporeal aether that dissipates which allows their dynamis (or soul) to join with the other entities trapped in that area. The Ea said they would continue to debate with to convince her of their nihilism. Hope and despair locked into a battle of will for control of objective reality. That's why you're warned not to summon their souls back because that would revert control back to despair making all of it an uninhabitable void again.
Love the kitty cameos! And don't worry about the cuts! I don't mind them!
"Emotions dictate reality here"
Now imagine 40k Orks in this realm and how quickly this whole expansion would've been resolved.
Been waiting
, thank goodness Sofie
I'm excited for the next episode ahhhh
I realized after Estinian, that this was going to be like that episode of Sailor Moon where they go for the final battle against Queen Beryl.
You guys talked about how Thancred suffering from more grief and hardship allowed him to stand against Meteion and while that’s a valid way to look at it (and the viewpoint I held for a bit), Meteion explains that she was able to subdue you just by removing the oxygen from the air. And Thancred has a superhuman lung capacity
The ending thoughts is absolutely right I think. It is definitely one of the reasons Venat did the sundering.
Crystal Mama playing her brilliant 4D chess from eons ago ;-;
Y'shtola heard about scientific knowledge ages ahead of her, and specially being about the Heat Death of the Universe, and was like "lmao and?"
My understanding of the sacrifices was this: Meteion's realm is Pure Dynamis. It doesn't have a form in the way that we are capable of perceiving it. With each Scion's sacrifice, they added their own aether and emotion to the environment to give a form that we could traverse. Which is why Y'shtola warned us NOT to use Azem's magic to bring them back. Because if we did, the aether they're using to create the path forward would be lost.
IMHO: the distorted early version of the zone bgm is my favorite. It has a deep, evocative, lo-fi vibe. It really drives home the emotion of losing a friend and being on a dead planet on the edge of the universe.
Hey you're back!! It's really nice to watch your reaction vids, keep it up!!
There are plenty of wonderful moments in this episode,
and yet 3:18 is the one that makes me cackle like the witchiest witch.
and then 12:51… just… holy wow.
I loved the three versions of the zone music that progressed with the story. SO good.
let it be clear, its not one of the twelve reflections, is literally the edge of the universe, ultima thule is meteions nest practically, its her own world, the twelve reflections pretty sure are way closser than the edge of the universe, is like comparing the planets in the solar system, "The minimum distance from Earth to Mars is about 33.9 million miles" but "The comoving distance from Earth to the edge of the observable universe is about 14.26 gigaparsecs (46.5 billion light-years or 4.40×1026 m) in any direction." and thats billions of times than earth to mars. btw, its so pretty… there is where the universe is expanding in real time the white part behind us is very probably the nothingness, universe is creating into that direction which is practically nonexistant… idk if it should be white or just dark… should be dark… idk anymore, white is the whole visible spectra..
"You alright Sophie?"
"Yep."
Lies.

I sense toy story fans.
I like how they base the rules of the universe on our real existing one. Dynamis could be akin to Dark Matter, and its is a well established fact/theory/hypothesis that since the Big Bang the universe keeps spreading apart and eventually grows cold. Even our sun is destined to implode when it burnes out, after expanding, burning our planet and I think even as far as Jupiter… I found that seriously depressing when first learning about it… On other hand, life goes on
I think the situation of the Ea is different, though: they had already shed their corporeal forms and lived as aetherial entities. As such they were immortal, fated to watch as their world and the universe would fade away. I mean, we at least have the comfort that our civilization probably wont exist anymore, or maybe found a way to settle elsewhere, when our sun dies in some billion millenia – way too far ahead for any of us to even comprehend. But the Ea were pretty much stuck. Thats not a kind fate to find yourself in.
The way I understand it is that outside our world, in The Great Expance, or Outer Space, Dynamis is the predominant force, but on our world and all the others, Aether is the dominant one. And its much stronger than Dynamis. Knowing this, Hermes created Meteion specifically to manipulate Dynamis, the same way as we manipulate Aether. But we, our character, the Scions and pretty much everyone on our world, can manipulate Dynamis as well – just not in a controlled manner. And this is what happened here: Ultima Thule is not a world in that sense, as Livingway said its a "patch of emptiness". So I assume the ground, the air we breath, were created when Thancred willed us to survive while we were all choking to death. What do we need to live? We need air to breathe, we need ground to tread upon. While the creatures appearing were the lingering memories for various dead civilisations Meteion had found and gathered on her journey. Those memories were already there – the were only now given form, in a way. At least thats how I understand it. Maybe to change reality in Ultima Thule you have to give up form and become Dynamis yourself, hence losing your body while only your soul remains behind, and with it its last burning desire – until it is spend.
Also, we dont necessarily only manipulate Aether from the outside. Though we can do that, at least the magic jobs can, all the others use the Aether within their bodies – and it is implied that the Warrior of Light is a veritable wellspring of Aether, we just have an awful lot of it. But every creature alive has Aether within it, keeps it alive, so to change reality in Ultima Thule we have to relinquish all Aether within us and become Dynamis – and therefore losing our body.
Like I said, thats my explanation
… imagine dragons. Hehe
"its like a aether current"
Yeah, you won't be able to get any aether currents until the next part of the map either, cause it doesn't exist until Estinien created it.
i think you're pretty spot on so far on your interpretations. this place is misinterpreted so much throughout the community that it seriously sabotages some peoples' enjoyment. but i feel you got the right of it and thus this will work for you. i'm really happy about that. can't wait for the next part.
I assume the Lopporits teaching you how to use true creation magic is why you're able to actually summon true primals as a level 90 Summoner.
Your cats are so cute, I really enjoy their little cameos
This zone is just…so beautiful…in a certain way
The Ea's knowledge is as far as I'm aware the most common theory about our universe. It is based on the big bang (too small, too full of energy) and is called big rip (to large, to little energy to sustain anything really, the expanding pull eventually overpowering gravity[/other cohesive forces] and quite literally ripping galaxies, solar sytems, stars and planets and everything down to the smallest particle apart).
This of course is a far flung future way after the sun growing to a red giant and (albeit not swallowing like mercury and venus) scorching all live from earths surface.
Considering the fact however that the Ea are from a different Planet in a different solar system that may be more stable, younger, older or of a different category altogether and that in shedding their flesh they might not even be bothered by a heat death so they could have already lived past that stage (not unlikely with how… desolate their world is depicted) … the big rip is the ultimate concern that they definitely share with us (they still use corporal structures after all)
I find it amazing how much thought and scientific theory was put into this without overcomplicating it since it is also a topic I am casually interested in.
THOMMAAAASSSSSSSSS THIS WOW COPY LOOKS WEIRD
