As we search for a way to return the Scions safely to the Source with the help of Beq Lugg and the Crystal Exarch, the residents of the Crystarium are feeling strangely inspired… I hope you enjoy!

:O
its been 84 years….
Your interpretation of the game offering you a diverging MSQ path where you go and sort out the Weapon issue or go back to save the Scions and there being potential consequences to that is so much more interesting than the reality of them actually just going "hey we worked really hard on these Trials can you go do them please"
Finally! I hope these become more frequent again xD and PLease for the love of god, live stream 5.3 please
Might want to split 5.3 into an offline video plus the stream finale. It’s super huuuuge
Also!! Highly recommend you visit the inn room, go watch the 2nd cutscene of the first entry in the Unending Journey. Might want to record reaction to it while you’re at it.
Just so you know – cutscene with catboy depends on role quests you've finished

And if you've finished multiple ones – you might "guess" who comes to you, with different characters to choose from (and secret options if you've done them all!) & and that might be quite interesting to see
2:17:58 — If I were prone to ROFL’ing, this is where I’d ROFLMAO.
Loved the intro!
Many comments on your latest FFXIV Yt video said this. Please go visit the inn room and watch the 2nd cutscene of the first entry in the Unending Journey and record it for Yt. You will be shocked & it'll blow your mind! It'll be an amazing reaction!
And that was the last MSQ before Covid-19 showed up and made a right mess of things. As a result, we would wait nearly 8 months before we learned what happened next in 5.3.
Having said that, 5.3 is a BIG patch just for the MSQ alone. It did things like allow flying in ARR zones too. I would not be surprised if you had to split it up into two or even three parts.
Also, that whole bit regarding the weapons in Ala Mhigo was a not-so-subtle hint that the ShB Trial series is now available. The quest NPC is in the Ala Mhigan Quarter.
dude you are down BAD but at least you have good taste XD
28:30 "wingman" sir that is his adopted child
Wow. No spoilers, but reliving certain scenes in this patch… It's emotional all over again. You'll learn someday
You'll know what many of us know and remember and you'll get hit with that pang of pure emotion too. I'm going to go have a quiet cry now lol Such a phenomenal story
It's been awhile
As someone who loves history and myths, I do like the part about Ranka and history being learned. Just seeing how people talk about about watching someone go through something they did back in the original content or earlier, you see how that “history” is learned.
5.3 def deserves a live stream
Oh wow, I completely forgot about that cutscene after the dungeon. That puts a whole new spin on stuff that happens later! When I did later quests, I had forgotten about this stuff. Such is the bad thing about playing the content as it is current — you tend to forget cutscenes when you see later content.
Just saying, you weren't the only one with the echo to begin with, though you may have forgotten it, other people with the echo would be Krile, Minfilia (both of them), Ysale, Arenvald. When you were recruited, the scions were already on the lookout for people with it.
Also, loved the intro!

I don't know if you've done the 8man raid story for Stormblood, but you'll see Nero there, which, within the timeline of the game was… a couple weeks ago.
oh dear
all the cooking
we can have a feast XD
37:25 A test, you say? =-)
52:40 That most cursed of phrases that all WoL learn to fear.
1:12:19 You dork. =-)
1:21:00 Looks like he only has Ardbert's memories up until his death. He doesn't know anything Ardbert learned ghosting around with us. Either the fistbump or Seto still being around. Either one works.
1:21:52 He spoke near the end of Heavensward the first time we saw him on the moon, where he spoke about our power intruding into the realm of gods.
1:27:08 Never pass up the opportunity to sass Y'shtola, it's worth it every time.
1:54:10 Don't pick your safe spot until the spinning arrow begins to slow. If you're already at one and the arrow comes to point at you you won't have time to reach another.
2:20:40 What were you saying about them not being special cause they don't have the echo?
2:25:10 Yup, worldview gone. =-)
