  1. 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

  2. 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!

  3. 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).

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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!

  10. 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!

  11. 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.
