200$ her "speaking to the soul" power dissapears or gets limited in someway if she is ever allowed to go to other shards tho. its too stronk in the lore
Dont let the New World MSQ, graphical updates, and Hrothgals distract you from the fact that Yoshi-P told us WE'RE LITERALLY TRAVELLING TO OTHER PLANETS next expansion.
I was a little concerned about the post Hydaelyn-Zodiark saga story, then they dropped Cyberpunk in FF14 and planetary travel. I think we will be fine for the next 10 years. These people are actually crazy, the best kind of crazy.
@@msaag5490 You mean they just will continue to badly copy/paste from other Square games without care for any lore building or story telling, because the remaining fans will eat it anyway and throw their money in the ever expanding cash shop? Absolutely. Nothing new.
I also just wanna say, Krile was happy in the trailer, and I'm super happy for her to not be possessed, hostage, imprisoned, sidelined, experimented on, ostricized from her scholarly compatriates, overworked keeping the souls of her friends tethered through comas, underappreciated, dunked on by the Lalafell hater union, having Zenos dougie on up to ask if he can munch on the mothercrystal to maybe, hopefully, possibly kill one of her friends, or being beaten in a footrace by Tataru down several flights of stairs. This shit's art therapy for her lmao.
SO ACCURATE I’m so happy for our girl, she finally FINALLY gets to go out in the field and have FUUUUN 😄 Hot damn, you right Krile spent 90% of her time in the story being overworked, underappreciated, and/or being assaulted. 😢
Now Krile will experience the struggle of being an artist and expected to be paid in exposure for her work instead of money. She will also have to deal with random copyright strikes and have to be scared of the uprising of AI Art created by The Arcadion. AWARE
I love how the trailer frames the MC's fight as something that went on all day while everyone else was wandering the town, eating food, flirting and sipping on drinks. Meanwhile the Warrior of Light is on round 12 or something with the nation's king in a dawn to dusk brawl.
The fact that the moon in Endwalker was the selling point but not the story focal point has made me questionable about everything. There's definitely more to uncover here.
Yeah I’m super happy we’re getting a technologically advanced city. It’s giving a lil bit Esthar from 8, Academia from 13-2 and a liiiiiiiil bit Midargar
I saw it mentioned briefly in your chat but at the very start of the keynote. Yoshi-P briefly talks about the earthquake in Japan at the start of the new year. He expressed his condolences to those lost and that those affected can rise from this and become stronger.
After not even being included in the Endwalker key art poster, I'm honestly glad that Krile gets to showcase the Pictomancer job in Dawntrail. Yoshi-P kept true to his promise and gave her a bigger role for this upcoming expansion. Edit: Forgot to specify, but like what Emuney12 already mentioned, I was referring to the EW poster where both Zenos and Tataru were both included, but strangely not Krile. I honestly thought that her debut would've been with that battle with Estinien and the large lizard but what they did was even better: they gave her an entire solo portion of the trailer all to herself. I hope she makes Galuf proud.
@@TheOneGreat yea but check the Endwalker poster again, she's not there. She absolutely played a big part but was never featured on the official poster. Only heresay rumors on my end, so take it with a huge grain of salt, but the artist who made the Endwalker poster didn't include her due to miscommunications. Edit: turns out during a radio interview long ago, Yoshi-P himself made the miscommunication.
@@Emuney12 yeah I was gonna say that YoshiP has been asked by Krile's jp voice actress herself why Krile wasn't in the art in that radio interview lol he just simply forgot and I'm sure he felt bad about it.
"Some of the civilizations in the reflections will surprise you." My money is that Solution Nine is something to do with the Ninth Reflection. As for heritage found, I wonder if that has something to do with the rejoined 12th reflection. That was the thunder calamity.
My money is also on it being on The Ninth. Solution 9 is the name of one of Zidane's Dyne attacks in FFIX, so it could be an adaptation of Terra from that game.
You know how they've been pushing the 'reflection travelling' thing recently, and how Y'shtola in this trailer is looking at the Ronkan ruins and comparing them to Tural and seeing a similarity? I think those futuristic ruins are the creation of an advanced civilization on a different shard that learned how to traverse the rift and built things on the Source. Remember this is the first expansion of a brand new story arc. We set up this new reflection during Dawntrail and possibly travel there by 8.0? Emet-Selch also said the civilizations on some of the reflections would surprise us.
Given the name, Solution Nine (which is also the name of one of Zidane's Dyne attacks in FFIX), my current hypothesis is essentially what you're saying, but more specifically, that the Ninth is facing a crisis and someone there has plans to essentially usurp the Source in order to save the population of the Ninth. In other words, Terra from FFIX, but in FFXIV. lol
A large winged serpent, some kind of mechanical sentinel, and yet the scariest thing I saw was the buff sabotender. Jesus that thing looks like the stuff of nightmares lmao.
Super loved it, beyond excited. So happy for Krile that she found what she's great at, new jobs look amazing, songs sound amazing, Final Fantasy 2077 threw a left hook that got me even more excited beyond the standard expansion I was expecting. So happy.
39:23 If we don't fight Greg on that bridge... We better at least fight a giant mechanical spider on that bridge. 44:22 I swear, it's the shopping area from Esthar. 1:06:20 Moon Restoration + Moon Housing when?!?!?!? 1:15:35 And they were roommates (ultimate) 1:33:50 The thing that's getting me is the eyes. They're looking so much smokier and intense with the new shader. 1:35:15 The lips blend in so much more naturally with the skin tone and mouth geometry. 1:35:55 Sharper definition makes for less pixel-y textures. They took perfection and just hit the "enhance" button. Also ears got a big boost in detail. 1:37:45 The eyes pop so much more. They're so bright! 1:39:10 The scales look so good now! But they also blend into the face geometry so much more naturally. The sharp eyes and lips also benefit a lot from the shader update. 1:40:17 Still feels a little puffy in the cheeks, but the eyes are so good. She no longer looks like she's been up for 48 hours without sleep. 1:43:18 Hairline is probably the most improved, but you can also get a bit of extra definition in the cheek fur. 1:44:05 The gear looks so good, and the ears are too! Viera noses seem to have lost a bit with the new shader though. Hopefully they refine it a bit so they still show off that button-y bunny nose quality. For what it's worth, I think it's just the shader softening the defining features rather than them having changed the noses too much. 2:01:08 The katakana for Xbr'aal is "Shyu ba raa ru", so the english will probably sound sorta like "Shuh-brawl"
I Fully endorse the use of "And They were Roommates (Ultimate)" and acronym ATWRU, instead of Futures Rewritten (Ultimate) and FRU. Though really, that's what people are gonna be Needing something easy to shout during Advanced Light's Relative Rampancy.
I do very much wonder who built Solution 9. It looks like nothing we've seen so far, it doesnt look Allagan, it doesnt look Ancient, it doesnt look Loporrit, it doesnt look Omicron. Who built something THIS advanced without anyone else noticing???
Jesse, I've been watching since your Witcher 2 series way back when, and even probably before that. Recently I've felt nostalgic and wanted to re watch the W2 series. When the page loaded, I couldnt help but be so happy that you had finally broke the 1m subscriber line. You are no doubt one of my favorite personalities on this platform. Much love to you, may you continue to find success and fulfillment.
Love the new part of the theme song towards the end where picto is revealed...Sokengod! Don't really love picto, but my daughter does, so she's going to play through DT as picto and I'm going to play viper. :) Was kinda surprised about hrothgals, figured that wouldn't come until after the graphics update...maybe more towards 8.0.
Keep in mind they brought back Ardbert's VA during for latest raid. theres no way they'd do that for just 1 fight. So if Solution Nine is related to the Ninth shard, then odds are pretty good we'll be meeting the 9th's version of Ardbert. Looking at the artwork for the expansion, i wonder if that's the white haired Miqo'te?
'puts tinfoil hat on' I'm wondering if Solution 9 is actually a colony of people from a different planet, much like how Midy found our world and settled here. Maybe another world on the brink of destruction sent out 'colony ships' to as many worlds as they found that could be compatible and it was the 9th ship that found ours. (Kinda like how the moon was gonna be used as a colony ship to travel to other worlds to try and find a safe one)
My theory for the future city, its a civilization from one of the other shards that managed to figure out cross realm travel. If it is the case, then it would give a reason for Yshtola to be interested in what is going on here. the future tech can be explained by the fact that that world wouldn't have been affected by calamities, so it could have kept growing the entire time, PLUS it would check off another of Emet's final words. Specifically the part about how the civilizations on some of the shards would surprise us.
Funny you should mention Mhachi, I was doing the RDM level 70 quest and just before the end of it you come out on a vista that if you look up has a pyramid decorated with the same glyphs as you see in the art of Solution 9.
When looking at the job trailers, pay attention to the character model. When the character gets a yellow/gold hue aura particle, it's a GCD. When it's a blue hue aura particle, it's an oGCD
Just pre ordered today! Super excited! I keep coming back to vids to listen to all the conent that's coming! June can't come any sooner. It feels so far away 😢 i am trying to let everyday go by fast af at this point just to invest so much yijrí
Azem is us the Warrior of Light. I don't know why there are comments talking about Azem hiding somewhere. Did Jesse talk about it in the video? If so he's wrong. It's spelled out to us in game that we are Azem.
Every time I look at the glyph Jesse was analysing, I don't see an Ascian symbol, I see a Dwarf helmet and beard with writing under it. Timeskip norvrandt raid confirmed
Nice to see today, how much he interpreted into the logo of the Arcadion company. Especially since YoshiP said that it will be a 100% FF XIV original and therefore couldn't be anything known ^^
This expansion is the only thing really keeping me going...ok a few others too! Super hyped, Krile a FF5 character using an FF6 job, finally she gets to fight too!
I watched this live and it made me super hype, but rewatching it, the final trailer's Krile part revealing the new job along with the gorgeous music almost made me cry. Lil lady has come so far.
I think you did a video like this a million years ago but an updated "here's the story stuff you should play before this expansion" would be awesome, for those of us who haven't been playing all the way through.
"I want to believe Kate is better." Oh you Sweet Summer child. This Heavensturn had a Quest called 'Unlike a Dragon' and The achievement was 'Next time, on Dragon Bo'
ARR and DT Have a similar vibe. One is about a new adventurer trying to find a way in the world, and DT is vacationing. Both on the surface feel very laid back.
The slide for Heritage Found gives me alternate timeline FF7 vibes. A train under a floating city that's far more advanced than what's observed on the surface? Jenova raid when?
I love the idea of the mask being connected to Azem, more Azem lore pleeeease. But did you notice the Ancient sitting looking over the stage before the countdown? It looked amazing! I think it was the Watcher?
We figured out the text in one of the scenes from the Solution Nine video, and it showed directions to "Employment," "Elevators" and, most interestingly, "Soul Supply." On Twitter someone mentioned that in FF9 there was a race called the Genomes, and they were basically androids waiting for a soul. Reading into the background and seeing everything they've shown so far, I have a feeling this is what we're working with. I don't think it's going to be a one for one match (in terms of a world trying to merge with the Source) but perhaps they will be written to be actual aliens who managed to flee one of the planets Metion visited and that's why the place is covered in lightning and there's like no sun and such.
they said Koji Fox was gone working on translating but i'm sure he was just rocking back and forth in a dark room anticipating the immediate demand for Encyclopedia Eorzea Vol. 4 after this keynote
Cerulean deposits was a part of the Blue mage job quest, the Walaquee tribe lived near a location full of Ceruleum that another npc wanted to extract, but the Walaquee held the location sacred
This has really got me hyped I was worried this was just gonna be a "holiday" expansion with no stakes but its looking good the hi tech city has me super intrigued.
The more I look at the symbol in the Arcadion artwork, the more it looks like a combination of Elidibus, Emet-Selch and Lahabrea's Ascian sigils. When Lahabrea and Igeyorhm fused together, their sigils fused, as well. It's certainly something to chew on.
I thought the symbol looks like Emmerololth. It has the two horns, the funny hat with stuff coming out of it, big face, and the two hands that have three fingers waving at you. And if you look very closely, it looks like there are some dotes in the neck area. There is also the lines at the bottom that look like the platform under the hands.
Solution Nine is exciting. Since Solution 9 is one of Zidane's strongest Trance abilities, I'm hoping there's a bit of FF9 influence on the area (Terran perhaps), and it's not just a name reference. We've already got the Viper job as a pseudo-reference to Zidane as well. I'm here for it if that's the case.
Genuine question, that giant crack on the world map representing the Panama Canal. How is that possible? Is it even possible? How does the large body of water called the ocean not filled the crack?????
I dont think Azem is involved cause 1) with Hydaelyn/Zodiark done I think that the Ascians/First Ones are done 2) Azem left the Council as mentioned in quests and we (WoLs) are indicated to have part of their soul which would mean Azem is sundered (also it was noted that Emet-Selch was the last of the unsundered) so AT BEST it would be a Fandaniel sort of thing but again see the first part.
OMG! I was excited for Viper but Beastmaster looks so cool! I haven't played since I beat Endwalker so I am going to have TONS of stuff to come back to.
@@handlerone5172 "I was excited for Viper BUT Beastmaster looks so cool!" You are saying Beastmaster looks cool with zero game play footage or even hints of what it could be other than the name.
That big alligator looking monster, after trying to eat someone in armor literally designed to rip open dragons from the inside if the wearer gets swallowed: "I have made a grave error..."
Wish I could be as excited for the melee class as people are for picto. Like this was the perfect chance for a corsair but they went with something else.... I hope it grows on me.
so i assume the "divide" between the scions will be those who support the hrothgar succeding as a ruler and those who support the mamool ja guy we fight in the trailer?
The solution nine area gave me Shinra Mako Energy vibes and one of the images (Heritage Found) has what looks like a reactor in the background. As we recall, Mako was the liquid form of the planets lifestream.
Well... first off, hype af. Remember when Emet said some of the civilizations from the reflection' may surprise you? Who says denizens of the source were the most advanced? Or... for that matter... were the only ones who could traverse the rift? What if one, guided by lets say... an Ascian... were able to move its entire capital city to the Source before their end (rejoining) hit?
"Tell me, have you been to the ruins beneath the water of the Bounty? Or the treasure islands beyond the frozen waters of Blindfrost, in Othard's north? The fable golden cities of the New World? The sacred sites of the forgotten people of the south sea isles? What about Meracydia, the southern continent? Do you know aught of its present state of affairs?...I thought not. Even of your little Eorzea, you know precious little. The true identities of the Twelve, for instance. All of which is to say: expand your horizons. Go forth and seek discovery. Some of the civilizations in the reflections will surprise you." Per Emet-Selch's description, we have a lot of locations already visited between 6.1-6.5, and New World will be reached in 7.0. Will we also visit some of the shards in expansion 7.0?
I'm stoked for Solution 9. I've been on a sort of cyberpunk/mecha/techy sort of vibe for the last few months (blaming Cyberpunk and Armored core 6 for this one) and my main class being gunbreaker- I just wanna explore that place so bad and contemplate how fried my roleplay character's little brain will be when witnessing that.
Thanks again to everyone who joined me live both in game and on stream! Here's to many more adventures!
Halmarult's symbol seems to have aspects that are close to what you were looking for.

Loghrif is close if you pause at this time 2:08:45

Congratulations to Krile for finally escaping side-character hell
200$ her "speaking to the soul" power dissapears or gets limited in someway if she is ever allowed to go to other shards tho. its too stronk in the lore
Krile deserves it, she has that sass quality and she's too cool of a character to let her suffer in side character hell.
Always happy to see Krile, sidekick or otherwise.
Watch, next expansion we'll get Tataru joining duty support as a Dragoon

“Hildibrand is eating up our budget” is easily the funniest line in this whole presentation
I really dont think thats and understatement either, when you see the MoCap done for it. Fun regardless and I welcome the fun content it provides.

Solution Nine single-handedly made me excited for where this story is going. I need to know M O R E
Bro, I have no idea where all of this is going. But Tural and Solution Nine are very strong hooks for the upcoming saga story.
The fact that the moon in Endwalker was the selling point but not the story focal point has made me questionable about everything. There's definitely more to uncover here.

I feel like the 13 th Shard will be next due to the set up in 6.5 with Ryn and Gaia.
Solution 9 is the name of one of Zidane's limit break in FF9
Heritage Found seems like FFXIV's version of the Thunder Plains in FFX which was perpetually bombarded with lightning.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one thinking solution nine might be Terra. We'll probably run into a bunch of genomes and maybe even kuja being a villian.

Specifically the part about how the civilizations on some of the shards would surprise us.
Funny you should mention Mhachi, I was doing the RDM level 70 quest and just before the end of it you come out on a vista that if you look up has a pyramid decorated with the same glyphs as you see in the art of Solution 9.
When looking at the job trailers, pay attention to the character model. When the character gets a yellow/gold hue aura particle, it's a GCD. When it's a blue hue aura particle, it's an oGCD
Just pre ordered today! Super excited! I keep coming back to vids to listen to all the conent that's coming! June can't come any sooner. It feels so far away 😢 i am trying to let everyday go by fast af at this point just to invest so much yijrí
My friend saw Solution 9 and was like, "so we are going to Wakanda?"
Azem is us the Warrior of Light. I don't know why there are comments talking about Azem hiding somewhere. Did Jesse talk about it in the video? If so he's wrong. It's spelled out to us in game that we are Azem.
We are a shard of Azem but there could be a shard that was elevated like Fandaniel or lesser Asians were.
I ran into Lil JC in a roulette once. Can confirm. Always looked good.
Every time I look at the glyph Jesse was analysing, I don't see an Ascian symbol, I see a Dwarf helmet and beard with writing under it.
Timeskip norvrandt raid confirmed
Nice to see today, how much he interpreted into the logo of the Arcadion company. Especially since YoshiP said that it will be a 100% FF XIV original and therefore couldn't be anything known ^^
Ceruleum extraction in the new world is a major plot point in the BLU lvl 50 quests, if there's no recognition if we've done BLU I'll be mad
This expansion is the only thing really keeping me going...ok a few others too! Super hyped, Krile a FF5 character using an FF6 job, finally she gets to fight too!
Finally Krrile joining the MSQ SQUAD!
I watched this live and it made me super hype, but rewatching it, the final trailer's Krile part revealing the new job along with the gorgeous music almost made me cry. Lil lady has come so far.
I think you did a video like this a million years ago but an updated "here's the story stuff you should play before this expansion" would be awesome, for those of us who haven't been playing all the way through.
"I want to believe Kate is better."
Oh you Sweet Summer child. This Heavensturn had a Quest called 'Unlike a Dragon' and The achievement was 'Next time, on Dragon Bo'
I love how they read some streaming commentaries - aknowledging the whole community.
Solution Nine is gonna blow up as an RP hub if it's a sanctuary.
Solution 9 looks like Esthar... full of lightning energy? Could be a remnant of the 2nd Calamity of Lightning!
1:31:00 that's the sound of cat boy stocks going up.
ARR and DT Have a similar vibe. One is about a new adventurer trying to find a way in the world, and DT is vacationing. Both on the surface feel very laid back.
Looking forward to the grinding gear folks getting to this point in 2025.
14:30 the absolute swagger of a man who knows he carries the weight of the entire company on his back
The slide for Heritage Found gives me alternate timeline FF7 vibes. A train under a floating city that's far more advanced than what's observed on the surface? Jenova raid when?
I love the idea of the mask being connected to Azem, more Azem lore pleeeease. But did you notice the Ancient sitting looking over the stage before the countdown? It looked amazing! I think it was the Watcher?
Holyshit Tropical theme to cyberpunk neon city in same expansion???? WTF IS GOING ON
On the Ascian symbol, it looks like Deudalaphon based on some of the patterns in the glyph.
you can see the north beyond othard is unclouded, even says blindfrost 👀
What is the song that Yoshi-P comes out to? Its very familiar but I can't recall it.
When Solution Nine came on screen
"Oh look, New L.A."
Jesse: Lemme check the settings.
Me: Um... Let me also check those.
BOTH OF US: WHAT, IT WAS 720, NOT 1080?!
We figured out the text in one of the scenes from the Solution Nine video, and it showed directions to "Employment," "Elevators" and, most interestingly, "Soul Supply."
On Twitter someone mentioned that in FF9 there was a race called the Genomes, and they were basically androids waiting for a soul. Reading into the background and seeing everything they've shown so far, I have a feeling this is what we're working with. I don't think it's going to be a one for one match (in terms of a world trying to merge with the Source) but perhaps they will be written to be actual aliens who managed to flee one of the planets Metion visited and that's why the place is covered in lightning and there's like no sun and such.
they said Koji Fox was gone working on translating but i'm sure he was just rocking back and forth in a dark room anticipating the immediate demand for Encyclopedia Eorzea Vol. 4 after this keynote
Cerulean deposits was a part of the Blue mage job quest, the Walaquee tribe lived near a location full of Ceruleum that another npc wanted to extract, but the Walaquee held the location sacred
This has really got me hyped I was worried this was just gonna be a "holiday" expansion with no stakes but its looking good the hi tech city has me super intrigued.
"Battle at the Biggest Bridge" Greg fight! *Holding every thumb*
The more I look at the symbol in the Arcadion artwork, the more it looks like a combination of Elidibus, Emet-Selch and Lahabrea's Ascian sigils.
When Lahabrea and Igeyorhm fused together, their sigils fused, as well. It's certainly something to chew on.
I thought the symbol looks like Emmerololth. It has the two horns, the funny hat with stuff coming out of it, big face, and the two hands that have three fingers waving at you. And if you look very closely, it looks like there are some dotes in the neck area. There is also the lines at the bottom that look like the platform under the hands.
1:06:11
It's just diadem in space.
Solution Nine is exciting. Since Solution 9 is one of Zidane's strongest Trance abilities, I'm hoping there's a bit of FF9 influence on the area (Terran perhaps), and it's not just a name reference. We've already got the Viper job as a pseudo-reference to Zidane as well. I'm here for it if that's the case.
Genuine question, that giant crack on the world map representing the Panama Canal. How is that possible? Is it even possible? How does the large body of water called the ocean not filled the crack?????
Fun fact: the model for the job was Krile's JP voice actor!
The place sounds and looks exactly like the thunder plains of FFX
I dont think Azem is involved cause 1) with Hydaelyn/Zodiark done I think that the Ascians/First Ones are done 2) Azem left the Council as mentioned in quests and we (WoLs) are indicated to have part of their soul which would mean Azem is sundered (also it was noted that Emet-Selch was the last of the unsundered) so AT BEST it would be a Fandaniel sort of thing but again see the first part.
Jesse is out here taking potshots at wow with every chance he gets. 😂😂😂
Is it me or do alphi and alisaie look a little bigger, not BIG bigger but just a little bigger?
I can only imagine that the Cosmic Exploration is going to incorporate plot hooks from Firmament and change similar to the pixie beast tribe zone.
regarding gx update: i cant overstate how well they updated the ear cartilage and fold placement.
OMG! I was excited for Viper but Beastmaster looks so cool! I haven't played since I beat Endwalker so I am going to have TONS of stuff to come back to.
I mean they didn't show anything other than the name so idk what you think looks cool lmao
@ANDREWxDELUXE you know there is actual game play of viper right?
@@handlerone5172Your first message made it seem you were talking about Beastmaster and not Viper.
@TheAssirra Well even still, it looks cool from the trailer lol, not saying it won't change from actual game play.
@@handlerone5172 "I was excited for Viper BUT Beastmaster looks so cool!" You are saying Beastmaster looks cool with zero game play footage or even hints of what it could be other than the name.
I'm assuming that super high tech civilization is what ruled in the first era? You know, since its lightning charged and it was a lightning calamity
Maaan I gotta give this game a shot, this all looks so cool
Viper and Pictomancer is new life into the game, very excited for this expansion. Will definitly be playing Pictomancer
Not a Final Fantasy fan but Jesse's enthusiasm is contagious
Yeah that some guy is me Jesse, you better believe thats my dream
I would have liked to see Pictomancer start in Idylshire at the painter
Lemme tell ya, that guy who posted Relm as a meme on the subreddit yesterday must be losing his whole-ass mind right now.
Pictomancer was so obvious. People saying green mage took the obvious bait
Wow they held Fan Fest at Tokyo Dome. That's a 55,000 seat capacity stadium. Not a small deal. Pretty cool.
That big alligator looking monster, after trying to eat someone in armor literally designed to rip open dragons from the inside if the wearer gets swallowed: "I have made a grave error..."
Wish I could be as excited for the melee class as people are for picto. Like this was the perfect chance for a corsair but they went with something else.... I hope it grows on me.
they wanted a new scouting job, viper pretty much fits that
so i assume the "divide" between the scions will be those who support the hrothgar succeding as a ruler and those who support the mamool ja guy we fight in the trailer?
The mamool ja in the trailer is the actual king so no!
The solution nine area gave me Shinra Mako Energy vibes and one of the images (Heritage Found) has what looks like a reactor in the background. As we recall, Mako was the liquid form of the planets lifestream.
Well... first off, hype af.
Remember when Emet said some of the civilizations from the reflection' may surprise you?
Who says denizens of the source were the most advanced? Or... for that matter... were the only ones who could traverse the rift?
What if one, guided by lets say... an Ascian... were able to move its entire capital city to the Source before their end (rejoining) hit?
"Tell me, have you been to the ruins beneath the water of the Bounty? Or the treasure islands beyond the frozen waters of Blindfrost, in Othard's north? The fable golden cities of the New World? The sacred sites of the forgotten people of the south sea isles? What about Meracydia, the southern continent? Do you know aught of its present state of affairs?...I thought not. Even of your little Eorzea, you know precious little. The true identities of the Twelve, for instance. All of which is to say: expand your horizons. Go forth and seek discovery. Some of the civilizations in the reflections will surprise you." Per Emet-Selch's description, we have a lot of locations already visited between 6.1-6.5, and New World will be reached in 7.0. Will we also visit some of the shards in expansion 7.0?
man Amanda is such a great fucking vocalist it's actually crazy
I'm stoked for Solution 9.
I've been on a sort of cyberpunk/mecha/techy sort of vibe for the last few months (blaming Cyberpunk and Armored core 6 for this one) and my main class being gunbreaker- I just wanna explore that place so bad and contemplate how fried my roleplay character's little brain will be when witnessing that.
Gasp! Pictomancy is like creation magic!
There's such a lack of screaming in the crowd I thought the audience was displeased lol
I personally feel like the raid symbol looks like a Shadowbringers dwarf holding up some fingers.
Those graphics upgrades are so nice like it's really awesome work.
This made me even more think that all are on vacation but the WoL again geht's into trouble and more fighting
Or perhaps this is just the WoL's idea of a vacation after all, we may still not technically be stopping a world ending threat here.
Everyone else goes to chill while WoL finds the biggest dude in the country and squares up because it's fun.
