They should have formed a New Usmc in og mw universe with a Usmc marine who Survived Shock and Awe mission as a Commander now.

Megszakad a szívem translates roughly to "My heart is breaking". Kind of speaks more to what is happening to Jorge as he sees Reach below.

Sad you didn’t mention that the SAS in MW3 were guys you played with in MW! Griffith and Wallcroft the GOATs

6:13 I never noticed that Niko Bellic cameo 😂😂 obviously unintentional but that model looks alot like niko bellic in gta 4 lol

Game in my opinion storyline peak post stormblood best villain Zenos best ascain emet-selch and best song sheava phase 2 and dragon song as for best plot point in rrb/heavenward was lost cystal connection for tell end main msq and shadowbringer story plot was when they finally found a cure for people and beast men as meet-selch I don’t see him as villain actually him and hydeleyn in way are heroes after see event that lead up to final day and both test your resolve one didn’t know they were because Kronos after the other 1 still remember cause u trip and test through 4 expressions lead up to final test before you go to face actual for threat to this arc of the game and as for fedaneil or his 2 other counterparts he was done poorly and cause that he was worse villain/victim kinda but in end it was his fault that all happened it be interesting see next saga that dawn trail start and or will end it or make so they need pull another rrb need reboot make better villain or will there even be villain or is just corporate human from that inland

Remember us. Remember that we once lived.

The real twist is the actual advice at the end where you told us that waiting around for that many hours just to see if the story would click with you is unreasonable. I heartily agree, amen, good sir. Also, second best boy Hien needs more spotlight.

I was there during the disaster 1.0 launch in 2010 - and now 14 years later it’s the best MMO ever made and a new expansion is about to be released. What a journey it’s been 🎉

It doesn’t matter how many times I’ve played mw2, the music during shepherds betrayal gives me chills every time

The Strength of FFXIV's writing is that they understand the one key important factor to great character development, and that is, every character, is the hero in their own story, and that includes of course the "villains" who really should be more called antagonists, as no one in the game, no character is truly evil. Everyone does everything for a reason that they truly feel justified in doing. And that is why it naturally evolves into a great story. Great characters lead to great story.

I love the halo ODST story, except... Dare. Her leadership incompetence led to the majority of the problems. If the ODSTs knew their objective, they would have naturally randevoued in the data hive. Not only this, she gets out of her pod and dissappears. If she would have either taken cover, holed up nearby, or fought towards buck, they could have been together immediately and focused on the original mission. Who the hell sends in elite soldiers with no known objectives, then dissappears?

ARR suffers from a lack of focus. It’s hard to know who is important and who will stick around after the story goes on. Meeting Haurchefaunt is way better when you know how important he becomes.

For me, I tried FFXIV first with the free trial post Stormblood, since some friends at the time were playing it and saying it was good. It never clicked with me then and I never really had fun with it. For reference I never even got to the level 15 MSQ and I thought Job Quests was the main story. Fast forward to 2022, Endwalker had been out for a few months then. I fell down the Runescape video rabbit hole and was considering maybe giving it a try. Then post D&D two of my friends suggested I give it a try again. There had been changes to A Realm Reborn that made it more streamlined. So I gave in despite my distaste for it prior. At the time you couldn't download FFXIV due to the massive player count, but then I remembered I had played it on playstation, it was in my account history. So I was able to redownload it, made a new SE account since I had long forgotten the old one, and created my character. I decided to use one of my D&D OCs as the basis for the character, figuring if nothing else I'd maybe have fun with that. Taking in ARR then was so different from before. I had friends to help explain things to me of course, but just living in that world, engaging in that story, and having the social aspect I missed due to the pandemic be there, it became my comfort game. Soon after beating base ARR I subbed to the game, unaware of the greatness to come. I enjoyed Heavensward and then is when I was turlly hooked and fell in love with the game. Then Stormblood, while not my favorite expansion, it still was pretty good with a lot of aspects I like and is when I really started appreciating the game as a game more. Then Shadowbringers happened. I had heard great things about it but I thought it would be good but a bit overhyped. Shadowbringers blew me out of the water and is my favorite expansion so far. I was content with how 5.3 ended, but of course we weren't at the end of the road yet. Endwalker, probably my second favorite expansion. The journey and story there is incredible as it pays off everything from A Realm Reborn to then. Endwalker 6.0 left me so satisfied that while I still stayed sub to the game and actively played, it took over a year for me to really get back into playing the story. I had briefly started 6.1 after beating Endwalker, but wasn't until this past week when I went through the patch storyline in preparation for Dawntrail. It was a solid storyline I enjoyed. And now, with maintenance ongoing, I await the coming of Dawntrail. I'm excited because it's my first expansion launch, but also a bit of anxiety is there. The game is changing and moving forward. With the graphics update, the game I love and cherish will look different but familiar. Though despite my fear I have every confidence in the devs to do it right. Oh and as for my character, playing XIV with them has been incredible. You know how people get really into their OCs, that is what happened with me. The XIV version of my D&D character has so much more lore and development to them compared to the original. So for those who are new and interested in trying XIV, I recommend you give it a try. The Free Trial includes Heavensward and Stormblood now, so you'll have 2 expansions to get through at your own pace before you even consider buying the game. Also, I recommend giving the game a try with friends. Whether it be starting completely new and blind, or meeting up with an experienced player to help guide you through the game. While XIV's story is great and definitely it's main appeal, I cannot downplay the experience and sentimental value you will have when you go through it with others with you by your side and awaiting you at every finish line, and taking in the game together.

I came from ESO with over 8000 hours in that game. My daughter wanted me to try FFXIV out with her, so we played a bit of ARR then basically left the game for several months. It was okay, but it was so different from ESO that I had trouble loving the jobs, and the voice acting wasn't so great in ARR. But let's face it I was so bored with ESO and I just needed something different, so I hopped back on, and I am so glad I did. FFXIV was the best story I have ever played through MMO or RPG. The best part for me was actually going back through the second time and catching everything that I missed the first time because of the difference in perspective. Absolutely beautiful writing.

BEST HALO GAME

THE ONE PIECE OF VIDEO GAMES SPECIALY MMOS

Look, I get that Destiny is a hard story to try and keep up on. So many years, long and drawn out due to being an MMO. But I’ve regime through the entire story and it’s pretty good, just tells the story in a unique way. If you only play through everything at launch and don’t go back through you can very easily forget it’s major beats, or fire bored with waiting. But it’d a good story about Humanity overcoming a great near god like power, of struggle and sacrifice, its length actually works in making it feel like a huge conflict, by the end you do feel weary of it, but once you get through Final Shape it feels truely worth it. To me at least.

More like gaming's grandest disappointment. It went from being one of the greatest to being just... meh in the span of a single expansion, and the upcoming expac looks to be more of the same midness. All this being said, Shadowbringers was fantastic. Game was trucking right along until that final ShB patch.

The problem is people want to play sandbox rpgs. I'd even throw WoW into that mold. These games aren't bad, but they make some players of FF14 so fixated on a end goal that melds withe their character rather than just enjoying the game. I also found a correlation between people who like to read books/ practice music and their enjoyment of the story.

Okay, I respect your opinion, but have you played the "The Legend of Heroes: Trails[...]" series? Because it is legitimately the only equal if not better than XIV in terms of 'grandest' stories.

This segment with Price and MacMillan man at 1:47:01. It really did have that Father/Son like feel when Price opened up to Mac. 😭

genuinely an amazing video. I'm about 13 minutes through and just realized you only have 5k and the video is only shown as having 94 views. Way way underrated!!!

I've been a fan of the franchise for the longest time despite its MANY ups and downs. But what honestly surprised me most The Final Shape was the fact that it managed to sum up 10 years by just focusing on the vanguard. You would think they would try and have this be the biggest possible THING ever, but I love how it's a more personal feeling story since the sincerity is the best part of Bungie's storytelling in my opinion. Keep up the great work!

Should have used the default Noble 6 because it better enhances his character

14:21 It also symbolises that there’s no way out of the city and the last means of escape was destroyed

From what I’ve heard Destiny has a lot of INSANE lore that’s on par with the stuff you’d see in Elder Scrolls. Unfortunately, they’ve done an atrociously bad job of conveying it through the various expansions. Also, in addition to the various things you’ve mentioned in the video the first game was released in several dlc chunks that were clearly chopped up versions of the campaign (you could’ve mentioned that. It’s been a while since I watched the video, and I’m just now commenting). It’s such a shame the thing was so botched. We could’ve had something truly phenomenal. So are you any closer to finishing the Killzone trilogy, and starting on Resistance? Or are you mostly focused on other stuff? Something I found interesting about Resistance is how Fall of Man’s story is told like a documentary. It’s a cool concept, but sadly Nathan Hale is woefully underdeveloped. If there ever were to be a remake I’d want them to give him a voice like they did for Issac in the Dead Space remake. If he actually talked to the other characters during the game he would’ve been more developed. I also heard the ending of 2 was horrifically rushed, and Insomniac killed him off since they didn’t do a lot with his character. I’m sure he has more development in the book, but I haven’t read it so I can’t speak on it. It’s also interesting how they changed the weapon/health systems in each entry, and vehicles sadly only appeared in Fall of Man.

I’ve always like the aesthetic of Destiny but never played. This story sounds good though! Thanks for the video!

Thanks for watching everyone! Did you enjoy the Final Shape?

Your point about Zenos.. If you haven't, you should read Zenos's short stories. You're almost right on. After reading that short story, Zenos clicked for me, and it really made me appreciate the character rather then what was presented in the game. It just wasn't brought across on me as it was intended.

Anyone else main hunter before it became popular?

I liked it a lot but it really has become epsisodic anime one piece kinda thing now with all the anime tropes. Back in Heavensward it felt like a grand video game with a movie level plot but now it feels like watching a tv series where you know whatever happens they’re all going to be alive and friends at the end and eat tacos in trailers etc. Which is fine but it doesn’t feel like final fantasy anymore.

Should do the back ops trilogy and the new mw trilogy

Learn the meaning of favorite, jesus. Also, I understand you repeating points and all, but why do you paraphrase a sentence that you JUST said, which happens multiple times? Did you even read your own script?

The biggest cost is figuring gow to set up an account.

One thing I never understood was how does the fog affect the self for symbiosis. Was it gonna knock everyone out and the symbiotes from the generators would take the unconscious body as a host? Did it alter the body to prepare for symbiosis? Like what was the fog doing.

IMO the really long cutscene at the end of ARR sets the stage for the next 3 xpacs. 1. It leads directly into Heavensward 2. It indirectly leads to Stormblood which in turn. . . 3. Leads into Shadowbringers

I love the detail in MW2 of one of the russian soldiers raiding a fridge in the house with the crashed plane. Very realistic in context of the Ukraine war lmao Edit: also the riot shield shower room from the gulag was re-used in MW2019 as the gulag fight room in Warzone

This is the popular claim of people who doesnt consume much quality media. If you think ff14 story is grand, you probably need to get out there and experience better stories.

Bro u r ass💀

I never really took to Fandaniel, even after learning his backstory. He always felt like a discount Kefka to me. And then, while I was thinking about why, I realized it's because Zenos and Fandaniel are both half of Kefka, who is an apathetic nihilist who wants to tear down the world because he not only doesn't understand why people care, he hates that nobody seems to care about _him_ and all the pain the magitek experiments put him through.

Love FF14 one of my favorite video game stories of all time. And I will say it....there is SO MUCH FILLER lol. I think at this point they could do a FF14 KAI like DBZ lol Excited for the expansion.

No Russian doesn't make me feel bad, it's just a boring mission once you played it once. Hence why I skip it.

I just wish the gameplay was better. Graphics are fine and the community is awesome but it plays like a traditional boring tab target RPG. ESO has the opposite problem. Plays like a dream but the community are old snobby lore nerds plus looks super ugly.

What is the OST at the beginning, the calm version of Torn from the heavens

I am going to offer a bit of a defense to the Cortona/Gravemind interrupts. 1st they never actually interrupt action, they always occur between action and taking breaks from action is something every halo has done, sometimes you need to wait for the pelican, sometimes the next wave, sometimes you take a walk in the woods. Here I always felt like it was a nice way to show Chief breaking down and we had to wait not for some external even to happen but for Chief to quiet an internal event. He feels guilty over leaving Cortana behind, and with some echo of Cortana remaining in his head it was a way to show the connection these two had. Chief being the stoic type pushes through these interrupts and keeps going, but the cracks are beginning to show. Later with the Gravemind in High Charity I got the sense that the flood is just as big on psychological attacks as well as physical. If he cannot break Chief's body he will at least attempt to break Chief's spirit by manipulating whatever he can, usually taunting him with Cortana, sometimes taunting him over firing the Halo array. If the Gravemind can affect someone like Chief with Psychological attacks it makes him far more terrifying.

As a reader of SF/F for over 50 years, I really appreciate what they did wiith the FF14 story. Early on they didn't really KNOW what the Ascians were, so they cleverly left holes that enabled them to retrofit the end onto the beginning. I love long series and a story well told is wonderful. I'll also check out your books if they're on Kindle. Edit: Amazon, what the hell? Usually with a series they show all the books in the series. FOr some reason I had to search for each one individually. Anyway 1-3 got :) IS that all of them currently?

this has to be one of the best retrospective videos I’ve watched in a while. I spent so much time playing these campaigns and loving the craftsmanship and art of these games. Though I never fully appreciated those things since I was only a kid, as an adult having someone take the time to play through, break down, and allow me to recollect everything is truly special. This video is absolutely amazing. Rock on.

The main story is amazing, but there's also a seaming countless number of side stories, dozens of which are pretty much stand alone game stories in and of themselves, and plenty are better than most games! Ishikawa is a genius! Honorable mention to the music with Soken at the helm, easily the most emotional body of music in any game I've played in my decades of gaming!

I hope you bring up Encyclopedia Eorzea, if not when you eventually do a Dawntrail video you should bring them up, they are such amazing books. There was a guy Ethys Asher who did entire fireside chat videos detailing lore and really getting into the Encyclopedia, so amazing they are still the benchmark for lore videos for me. Glad you love our world and thanks for the recap video!
