Here we have two exapsions in two different mmos that revolve around the concept of time/space travel. Even though the comparion is not 100% direct – and not the focus of this video – we can see where one fails and where one succeeds. Where did WoD fair? Where did EW succeed? What caused this great differentiation where WoD was TRASHED by the WoW community while EW (Elpis) was glorified by the FFXIV community? I do my best to explain.

Like someone mentioned in your chat, channels like @SynodicScribe and the FFXIV team at @GamerEscape would probably love to hear your reaction to and understanding of Elpis as a native Greek-speaker. 💙
I'm loving your analysis, but at the same time I keep laughing every time you call him Falafel.
Oh yikes WoD 😂
Much more background on Elidibus found in the Endwalker 8-man raid.
Also, best to have finished Elpis before the video as lot of your expectations will be sent in a different direction.
Remember…. Amon was a shard of Hermes/Fandaniel. The original was sundered after the Final Days happened the original time….
Whenever I see people referring to Venat as "mommy" makes feel that everyone had some kind of "mom issues". When I saw her I was sort of surprised to see her there in Elpis, but I didn't go nuts and scream "mommy!" like, 99% of the people I have seen. XD
A very simple answer.
Time travel in WoW was an attempt to 'change' the past.
Time travel in XIV was a way to provide context on the current events of the game, without being able to change the past.
I liked WoD. But storywise it was just a way to retcon the game and they failed.
