Potato down.
Yes. Throwing Nidhoggs eyes off the bridge was a mistake. But in defense, below that bridge is an Aetheric Storm to dangerous for any mortal to enter. The only reason they were recovered was because that Paladin Warrior of Darkness was spying and saw it. It was Elidibus who retrieved them, one of the only being in FFXIV that could actually do it.
If the spy hadn't seen it happen, nobody would have been able to retrieve them.
The one thing that always stood out to me in the Omega vs Shinryu fight cinematic, is that Tsunami. all that water at a border between a forest and arid plateaus. Sure, the water came from aether, but that flood must have been NASTY for the locals. Oh but I also liked that the levinstrike knocked Omega down for a bit.
I still miss the lil dude v.v
So here is some Final Fantasy V lore. Both Shinryu and Omega are Extra bosses from FFV, both of whom are almost Equal to the final boss of the game and are also optional bosses. Two of Shinryu's signature skills is Tidal Wave, and Atomic Ray, both of which is shown off beautifully in the scene along with Omega's Delta Attack is one of his signature skills too. Seeing both was a sight to see, as I am a huge FFV fan ^-^
Also, you could say Yda got a new Lyse on life
I think the Yda-isn't-Yda situation is a weird relic of 1.0, where the Yda that appears in echo visions seems to have a slightly personality than present day Yda, but I don't know if that was intended or not.
I have to say, Gosetsu face planting on the docks cracks me up every time, best scene so far 😂😂
Before feeling sorry for Ilberd, I would suggest watching the video by the Synodic Scribe.
The video name is this:
FFXIV Writing- Why I think Ilberd was an Idiot
It goes into detail about lore in FFXIV, things involving Ala Mhigo and the Autumn War, and why people weren't exactly in the biggest rush to liberate Ala Mhigo and so on.
I appreciate the constant kitty-cam.
Well what have we here? Someone else playing through ffxiv for the first time? Nice!
Since I can't experience this game for the first time again myself, I find I have to live vicariously through others now. Can't wait to see you play through the next few expansions. 😁
You might wanna move away your twitch chat from the dialogue box, its kinda overlapping and its kinda bothering to see, nothing else really.
PS3 died for these cinematics
What I find quite impressive about the Omega vs Shinryu cutscene is, that it isn't even a pre-rendered scene. They made it look this good with just their game engine.
Wait… why would Aymeric say he never saw such forces? Didn't he pay attention when Niddhog and Hreasvelgar fought right over his head in Ishgard? I'd say that clash was no less fierce than Omega and Shinryu.
r.i.p. Papalymo.
Mists of Pandaria has nothing on Stormblood.
The way I see it, Ilberd was a crazy man who was willing to sacrifice anything to liberate Ala Mhigo as soon as possible. Plenty of other NPCs wanted to liberate Ala Mhigo, but none of them wanted to rush into it given how big a threat the Garlean Empire was. So Ilberd declared them enemies and forced their hand.
One fun bit of trivia is that the original title awarded for completing the 3.5 story was "Papalymo's Final Witness" which, of course, is a massive spoiler. They changed it very, very quickly.
1:02:45 – Thank you so much for this it ruled
it is possible to learn the samurai job at lvl 50 and thus way ahead of the meet and greet with Gosetsu or the Stormblood expansion.
if you like the style, go for it. free weapon and garb of samurai job is yours just for accepting the offer in the introduction in Ul'dah.
