I'm hype to watch all the savage enjoyers take on these raids next week!! 🎉
Edit: This week! Time is flying fast 🤯
It's really funny how Honey B Lovely was in the game was 3 days, had one line outside of the raid, and a few voice lines in the boss fight itself, and ended up higher than Wuk Lamat in a Japanese fan poll on character popularity lmao. The combat encounters in this expansion have been stellar so far. Can't wait for Savage and all the future combat content.
Different servers for living with regulators vs dead. Also a soul is just blank paper to write on. It has nothing to do with what a person is
I was under the impression what we destroyed in the MSQ was just that hidden floor in the tower that held/recreated the endless and nothing else so all other functions of their systems are intact
I am pretty sure the VA for Wicked Thunder is the same as Llahmen (The Navigator) from the final alliance raid tier
Also, raid series in terms of gameplay has been an improvement every expac in my opinion.
I actually feel the same of the stories. I can't speak of this one in full yet but, I doubt I will enjoy this story more than the previous ones. Not to say it will be bad but, it had some heavy hitters from a story angle. Coils, Alexander, Omega, Eden and Pandemonium were pretty important.
Need to move during the beam shot in M4 if not you will get damage
Its not like this raid story is more interesting than 7.0, yet it still is because no Wuk in every single cutscene.
It’s definitely looking like another round of Stormblood
Divisive on story but absolute banger content
Probably one of the best first tiers they’ve ever done, if not the best (imo)
Actually, when you think about it, much of what's being brought up has already been established in the story – this is just clarifying some points. I'll cover my thoughts/theories below…
First of all, recall how our soul was in tatters after all that Light we were forced to absorb on the First? And how, afterwards, Ryne comments that it seems fully repaired after we rejoined with Ardbert? That's basically what Eutrope wants to use our soul for. Since our soul would not be a good fit for her soul, she'd likely have to "operate" on it to adapt it, which is probably why it takes an exceedingly dense soul as well – in order to be able to "sculpt" it to match her own.
Secondly, there's also some lore dropped during Endwalker patches that cover how absorbing the aether of another warps your own. Whilst the pure souls produced through Origenics have not been indicated as having this effect, one could theorize (based on the 99 trial) that extended/excessive exposure even to such souls will lead to similar degradations.
Thirdly, the facility in Origenics isn't (that we are aware) capable of "fixing" cracked souls. All it does is take the combined aether of a soul, infused with memories, and separate the memories from the soul, to allow a more "pure" soul absorption – one less likely to cause the corruption we see in the Void.
I said from the beginning of the game no ARR, everything something goes wrong it’s always a lalafell
Ah yes, the raid tier where half of the mechanics are "Dodge Left Side AoE into Dodge Right Side AoE" 😀
Well, except for the Bee.
I still don't get why we can't have eyes like Black Cat :c
When did Zeplha get so toxic? Holy shit there's a line between being curious about the lore and nitpicking and she's been nitpicking the entire expansion.
Made worse by Dimi constantly dickriding in chat, her streams since Dawntrail MSQ have been unwatchable.
Okay, 2min in and Zepla got the story wrong instantly. How droll.
Everkeep separate the souls from memories, Living Memory kept the memories of those souls and turned them into an simulacrum of those memories. The soul, the raw aether from it, is preserved in LOTS OF CRATES still within the systems of Everkeep, to which people can use the Regulators as they used. As said in the very credits, their lifestyle was not meant to change, but it is now a finite resource.
Living Memory was AN COMPLETELY separate entity. Origenics still is a thing. And that's literally drawn over for comprehension. Jesus.
You can see how people complain about the story, claim it to be simple writing, and still doesn't understand 10% of it, but want to complain.
I've been waiting for this video every since the raid came out. I want to see her react to them sooooo much
Lmao damn she can NOT allow herself to enjoy any ilm of this game huh?
Preach 🤣🤣🤣👯
Preach B. Lovely
Psychonekrosis sounds almost like turning into a sin eater or voidsent, except they're corrupting their own souls with those of beasts that causes it. In which if it worked on Zero, we have a crystal shaped mcguffin that might do the trick if the worst comes to pass.
When i first heard of Eutrope's condition, I were like ooh if we only knew someone who specialized in souls who looks like a weird dog creature cough cough Beq Lugg from shadowbringers
The fact that Square managed a raid tier this good with as horribly as they utterly botched the MSQ, that might just save this expac. It is like those two part of the game were made by two totally different companies who never met
Considering that my toon IS an Idol herself, seeing Honey B Lovely as such a cool boss with an amazing song is super cool. Well done, Square
How are they muddying the waters? Can't a soul be "strong" ("dense" like ours for example) without needing memories? The simulacra make complete sense to me. You take a "strong soul" without memories and infuse it with WoL's memories and it basically just becomes a strong fighter. It does not become another "WoL" because that would require souls to have fused like ours did with Ardbert, it just becomes a "strong adventurer" basically. That's how I understood it at least /shrug
Also: We didn't destroy any significant thing in Sol9 or inside the tower/dome or whatever. We only shut down the Endless terminal in Living Memory, but nothing in Sol9 was actually destroyed from my understanding, we only went through Origenics to get to the top of the tower. They even said in the MSQ that facilities work as intended despite Zoraal Ja and Sphene being gone
What the arcaidiam does is similar to what Athena did last raid series, she plucked a random soul from the lifestream and stitched lahabreas memories onto it. Only difference is that there using our memories stitched onto a random soul from there databanks.
There's a solution to this, though not an easy one.
Rejoin those of degrading souls.
Literally rejoin them to a reflection of theirs from another Reflection. Maybe even try 13th?
I'd like to also remark here again, this soul mutilation business is horrific. Not only you cut off someone from returning to Lifestream by cutting out their aether from their memories, using this feral soul business is effectively what WoL was doing in Shadowbringers by overloading on Light. The only way to fix that was by rejoining with Ardbert.
This business needs to be killed with this raid series and the patch content. It's a horrifying blight that cannot be handwaved away. They're essentially doing what Voidsent do to each other in 13th.
It is the product of a broken, faulty AI that thought memories equaled to a person, THEY DO NOT, and Ja Ruul who just wanted power.
It is a system that needs to be wiped out. Solution Nine can deal with all this just fine without soul mutilation. They have far advanced tech, and they can just open an Adventurer;s Guild branch to deal with monsters.
This soul business needs to end, and end fast. This shit gets out of Solution Nine, it will cause a world war. Do you want people like Lord Lolorito in the SOUL and IMMORTALITY business?
Do you?
I would like to remind everyone. Splitting someone's memories from their body and soul…. is what Arasaka SoulKiller was doing.
You know, the super bad thing from the dystopian sci fi story?
The President has got be Alexandria's equivalent to Zenos, right?
Since i play with my lappy muted i didnt care about the non voice acted scenes
LOL i just laughed at Honey B cuz trying to ask friends who i played WoW and convince them its not really a weeb game then this fight comes out >_<
Sooo…are we intentionally not paying attention to story details yet still constantly nitpick now? like I get the Wuk Lamat annoyance but this? its already established after the MSQ that we didn't destroy the soul repositories as Wuk didnt want to change theit way of living/culture per say?. 5:00 And didn't Sphene (or Cahciua was it?) explained how the regulators in detail in a nifty little cutscene?
The shift in behavior in your playthroughs of previous expansions is so jarring…first half of DT was aight , Second half of her DT playthrough was funny with the whole Wuk beign everywhere thing
this is just annoyingly nitpicky compared to her previous playthroughs…are we gonna get bring that "T.O.P broke me" attitude here still in Dawntrail?
If im not mistaken the regulators are a sped up version or the re-incarnation process. The conundrum with those apparently is that the person being revived is not exactly the same person since the memories are altered.
They have to be champions because they have the aetheric density to handle the memories of WoL reflections you infuse them with.
alright lets go down the basics of necromancy and apply it to ff14.
Resuurecting only the Soul, results in a Spirit, basicly what they use as powercell.
Only the memories and you end up with a Ghost, wich are the Endless in this contest.
If you only reanimate the body you get a zombie, zombies exist in this game more or less standert.
If you want to properly rezzurect someone you need all 3 in top condition.
so… to trust or not to trust the milala
Hard carry lol
Brawndo, it's what champions crave!
The raids redeemed the MSQ for me, I'm so glad I thought they were so fun, and the post game dungeons too. The gameplay saved the sinking ship. I just need Wuk Lamat to stay absent for the rest of the patch content, just have her say she's gotta go do her job and let Koana come with us if we need anymore dawn servant stuff and we can at least end on a high note.
I think the people of Alexandria see that using souls for their regulators as "recycling" souls. They aren't taking them from people who haven't passed away naturally yet. That is why Black Cat says that "it isn't right to take a soul" in regards to you, cause that would be murder. Also the WoL soul is pretty dense, but I'm pretty sure we haven't been the only one established with a "dense soul" in msq.
To be honest this is kinda why I stopped watching Zepla. Ever since her rant about hating Endwalker it seems like she's in that mindset where she finds any reason to not like something which is truly annoying. "Why are they muddying the waters with souls?" "I thought the arcadion was out of souls" all of these questions are answered if you actually pay attention to the story. The whole point of the Arcadion is the controversy around the use of souls for fighting and the souls you're using in the fight are manifested memory which is almost identical to the Endless. Also the arcadion wasn't "Out" of souls Zoraal Ja shut them down cause he wanted to use all the beast souls for himself and Metem literally explains this.
I understand it's popular to think FFXIV is bad now and you're the one who started that train so gotta stick to your brand. There are plenty of good reasons to dislike Dawntrail's story but this is just nitpicking at this point and not paying attention to the story.
Ugh, wish Youtube would stop throwing up Kamala ads in front of my face. It makes me want to use a blocker but I don't on channels I like. Youtube, TT, etc, it's just Kamala, Kamala, Kamala…
this is sad. no one told Zepla that the soul simulacrum part is actually the way Yoshi-P explain how you can join a raid with other players…
meow meow meow
