Honestly, kind of sad that Opera Omnia is ending service before we could get the Shadow Lord in that game, though we did get Kam'lanaut and Eld'narch and Selthius at least
I played the free trail but I wish they made it easier to buy and download
I know nothing about FF11 Lore but this was interesting I’m just excited we COULD fight Camel nut and his older brother El’nacho. The music they used in DFFOO is great and I can’t wait to hear the remix
I haven't played enough of XI, but in other games Shadow Lord has always stuck out to me. He looks so simple, but you know he will fuck you up.
Can’t wait to see Yagudo in FFXIV :3 I hope the Vanu aren’t supposed to be their equivalent. And gimme a Yagudo necklace for glam! 🤞 And here’s hoping we see Prishe and Naja!
not forget Iroha still stuck in this Eorzea
I'm really struggling to decide what they could do for the raid. The ark angels seem unlikely because of how directly they inspired the ShB virtues and even if we were get a Divine Might style encounter with all 5, now that 24 man raids only have 3 tanks I can't see that working well since we'd probably need 5 or 6.
Having the Zilart bros could be cool but if we look at the high tier battlefields in XI for the series boss fights greatest hits it looks something like
Shadowlord
Kam'lanaut
Eald'narche
Maybe the sin hunters as an inbetween boss battle
Omega/Ultima
Tenzen
Promathea
Alexander
Odin
Wotg Shadow Lord
Lilith
With Atomos sprinkled in
Shinryu
And that completely leaves out all the latter expansions. They could be going for a Rhapsodies style memory lane resulting in us fighting Cloud of Darkness, again (you know they need a reason to use that rig).
I really hope they make some silly nods to hayday FFXI mechanics and such. Make it so to 'spawn' a boss you first have to kill a set number of trash using the same, but smaller, model or put in a glam drop Optical Hat from a hecteyes mini boss named Hakutaku.
Raogrimm that's a name I haven't heard in a long time
Thanks happy, ff11 lore is great, always love to see videos about it
I could see the (3) beastmen leaders + shadowlord as the first raid if they want to go across each main expansion for each raid tier. Thats my initial thought but I am also hoping they really surprise us.
Best mmo ever made, so good I quit ff14 and joined ff11 horizon server. I wish SE would overhaul 11 and add it to ff14 menu like wow did their classic.
Thank you so much for covering this content. I'm so happy to see us getting XI content in-game, and it is my most anticipated thing of Dawntrail. Best to you and yours, and can't wait to join you in some Dawntrail content.
It is incredibly disappointing that it's 2024 and we have yet to have a remake of Final Fantasy 11
Appreciate the story time!
If Dawntrail does end up having a theme of tribal civilization vs oppression via technology, a raid series about the enlightened races vs beastmen fits pretty well.
Yeah Wings of the Goddess reveals quite a lot about Raogrimm – and Vana'diel's true origins.
Without the later expansions to expand upon his lore he's just kind of a mid villain, but gets far more intriguing over time.
Also F Ulrich. Miserable PoS, condemned humanity.
I played FFXI from 2003 until the launch of XIV. A good chunk of my childhood spent in that game and so many memories. I absolutely cannot wait for this content and I really hope they tell a good story with the lore from xi. Also I would like to see our XI character’s apprentice again, Iroha, who was in the crossover event.
I wish they would bring XI back to consoles like add it to a service with xiv so it's more accessible
Hmmm, your ever crisis ad is a little outdated. Holy flames gift ended back in December. (I think we may be getting yuffie today though…)
All you need to know is that shadowlord gave cornelia the bgc
I hope hes secnd last
Ok i need the name of the musique ! Is it from 11 ?
Very much appreciated.
Definitely looking forward to a potential fight with the 5 Crystal Warriors, Kam'lanaut and Eald'narche battle.
Better brush off your K.clubs Drks, and check your stun chain macros RDMs. We got work to do!
Zerg Zerg Zerg!!
Taking bets that he’s a primal
I wonder if this raid will finally finish the Gabranth storyline ,
Cool story, bro. No really, thanks for the video. FFXI was pretty much my first MMO, but I was pretty bad, and I don't remember pretty much anything about it. I'm interested to see how it plays out on FFXIV!
I’m so excited to hear the shadow lord theme and all the 11 battle music. Whether it’s remixed or rhe original! So much nostalgia as a kid
Shadowlord is a crybaby Galka
Thank you for this.
I thought they skipped 11 for close to a decade before finally hearing it’s existed for most of my life. And by then, XIV was already out so… I’ll be interested to see some stuff from 11.
I love your lore explanations, I want more of this.
Wow, this Shadowlord story sounds awesome! I’m really hyped now!
This recap is the perfect refresher of the game and characters for me. I played FFXI back in the day, but due to real life issues (and the PS hard drive dying on me multiple times) I stopped playing during the Rise of Xilart expansion. I remember the Shadowlord being betrayed with a "twist" but forgot about him it being specifically Cornelia that died instead. Heck, I even forgot about the lore with the Talekeeper.
Thank you so much!
When I burn out on Monster Hunter I just might have to jump into FF11!
I only played FFXI for 6 months in 2004 and it was my first mmorpg experience. Within that time I have a lot of memories.
So this is why that song is called "Memoro de la Stono" I guess?
Enjoyed the Ever Crisis ad read for an event that ended over two weeks before the video went up.
First time I saw FF11 shadowlord was in FF Theatrhythm.
Description was vague but says he had a tragic past. Now it all makes sense
Also hoping we get an 8 player raid against Sin in this expansion. N
The beast tribe angle to the Shadowlord’s motivation does have some interesting possibilities with FFXIV’s story. Tension with the tribes, and even the disgraceful nature of the term “beast tribe” itself, has been a running theme for a long while. And Shadowbringers and Endwalker brought the idea of making peace with them an option.
