The Ancients are a fascinating piece of Final Fantasy XIV’s history, and the “Tales from the Dawn” series is giving us more from the time.

  1. Btw I've been wondering, are hydaelin and zodiark really primals? After thinking about it, aren't they just a transformation made by many ancients like with Gaia and that one other guy in Eden?

  2. People that say Venat was wrong simply refuse to accept the flaws inherent in any immortal society that the game literally beats you over the head with time and time again, in favor a "We should be gods" mentality. Perfection leads to stagnation that leads to madness and extinction. Venat created a wave that rises, falls, and rises again to eventually renew a dead universe through Meteion's final song. It is a total and flawless victory on a cosmic scale.

  3. Another great video! I love the depth these stories give these characters. The Watcher's words after 6.0 were very sweet, and they were updated again for 6.2, I believe.

  4. A couple minor corrections:
    First we visited the original Anamesis Anyder, not a recreation. Until recently the interior was sealed so it stayed in good condition.
    Second the watcher waited for about 12 millennia, not one. I can’t remember if we have a firm number for how long it’s been since the sundering, but at least 12,000 years
