This is the tragic, epic, crazy twist ending to FFXIV’s base storyline. When a lot of people ask “When does the story get good?” Usually people point to this very moment.

Great series, I think someone asked in chat but what would give you the bigger cut, youtube membership or patreon, or are they similiar?
00:11:22 For future reference, I have added the X.55/X.56 Story patches to the timeline spreadsheet. Thanks for the feedback 😎
I absolutely love the small quest to go to that train station right before the party. Really got me feeling this great sense of unease the first time I played through
WP, can you please make the footstep noises more quiet in the future? IMO they are much more louder than your voice.
Also, (huge spoiler for the video ahead):
I know it would make the story play out way more different in later expansions, but surely it was a wrong move for Scions to split up and run, right? Taking on a warband of mercs in the city must be a cake walk for someone with Trema's kill streak. I'm still with Ida on this one. And the fact that we will be forced to leave our comrades behind by cutscenes again and again in the future doesn't sit well with me at all.
4:39:28 I only just now noticed that Alphinaud is voiced by Sam Riegel in ARR due to them spelling his name wrong in the credits. "Sam Regal"
Three things!
3:07:15 Thancred says that he's developed a useful habit of looking over his shoulder, and 3:13:43 the wol doesn't use his advice whoops
4:14:25 Alisaie arranging our escape from Ul'dah has some crazy implications, think of the kind of info and people she must have access to in order to help us. Perhaps there's a less satisfying explanation that she'd just kept in touch with Urianger, for whom this kinda activity is everyday routine, but I like going with the rule of cool and assuming that Alisaie keeps tabs on our (mis)adventures and somehow sniffs out the looming danger and pulls on the right strings with impeccable timing.
And lastly, Heavensward trailer's so epic!! I don't tire of rewatching it, and can't ever decide on my fav trailer ever, HW and ShB share the top tier for me.
@4:09:50 you talk about Hydaelyn not speaking to us. That’s impossible because Midgardsommer stripped you of the echo. Well maybe not entirely of the echo but at least the part where you communicate with Hydaelyn.
That scholar is somehow still nicer than the professor from the monk quests
Having played this patch before but not for multiple yearsI decided to watch it on my oculus in theater mode vs my typical phone/second monitor and let me just say the video quality and drama made it a 10/10 theater experience.
