For the eye thing. YoshiP during a live letter i think showed off that NPCs would have their eyes move like that. He said something like its something so minor most people would never notice it, but he was proud and wanted to show it off
Oh that's cool! I don't remember that at all but i love the detail
@@RinBanana He spent several minutes on it during Dawntrail PLL 1, the graphics live letter. It was about 8 minutes of him showing it off an a Lalafell in Camp Drybone and talking about how it was the "one change he wanted the most for characters."
@@AlcadriaYeah I was so blown away when they showed it!! Such a nice detail. The only thing I was surprised was that it was also affecting other WoLs, because I understood it was planned as an NPC feature only. And I haven't seen it on my wol yet (male xaela), so I'd assumed it was only for other characters now! Seeing it here now though, maybe it's just too subtle on manra, or it is a bug that it is not affecting them yet.
I don't remember them actually mentioning the eye movement, but I noticed it when they zoomed in on it.
I definitely noticed. It's strange to me how people don't seem to actually notice details. The character acting was way better across the board.
The one MSQ npc named Florid Man will never not be funny to me
I thought I was the only one who noticed that! I was dying!
IM SO GLAD IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO GRAVELY MISREAD THAT
You can do the cornservant quests as soon as the first yellow quests pop up in tuliyollal. I did all the yellow quests along the way and was so happy to get him as a minion in S9.
As of DT, if you submerge your character partially in water, your clothes will become partially wet at the depth they were submerged instead of uniformly the moment you touch water.
wait this is sick
If you use clothes ( not armor ) they go on top of the water when you jump in at the beginning
Another sick detail
You can see the drenched part of the roof during the rain as well
if you take out an umbrella it will actually dry your clothes after a while
Are you sure it was only since DT? Because I def have seen it happening while I was fishing in Endwalker. When I was walking into the shore (for example in Thavnair), it was only my shoes and bottoms that get wet, but not my shirt. Also from the one comment below: Umbrellas did dry you already in Endwalker as well. Overall both of this might not have been too noticeable though, and is now more obvious due to the graphical update!
btw. the curious corn quest is available at the start of MSQ
Yeah I looked it up since recording - subsequent quests become available as you progreess through their zones msq, adding a section to the info with all the quest locations
That's how I did it. It was always fun having him waiting for me in a new zone as the MSQ progressed (though he usually pops up half way through that zone's quest line.)
The story has really deep implications about preserving memory in data so your solution 9 secret might be way more profound than I thought. Very good.
the gemstone trader in tuliyollal is modeled incorrectly. hes got hoobigo head with boonewa body! hes bicolor just like the gems!
wait that's cool
Gulool Ja Ja's secret *secret* kid.
A small easter egg I noticed in Zoraal Ja's trial, but his transformation form has an unformed head on the left (his left) which I thought was a really cool detail.
Before ruining Zone 6, i think in the Disneyland area, theres some npc kids having a race. If you walk near them at the start and win their race, they will react to you.
Bakool Ja Ja, my beloved.
The kid and father thing i saw in the maincity on top of some area and i had to stop for a while and think about sooo many stuff essential when the kid laughed .... man that hit sooo deep
There’s a good bit of DT in service to the idea of family, linage, passing of the torch. And I found myself coming back to the sightings of the families in Turial and being filled with both joy and melancholy. The little game of Uppies and that laugh, might not be for me. But it’s something worth preserving regardless.
@@tanakaitoi idk but for me its something some or one programmer/dev made from SE and it had for me a huge impact and i wish it would get more attention this super sweet lovely little thingy brought me almost in tears ... sometimes i wish i had a loving father and than this comes right in my face haha
Some thing my friends had missed that i noticed is the name of the final boss in the 99 dungeon was the same name as the twins father (the two pink girls Nostalgia and I cant remember how to spell her sisters name)
Ooooooh interesting nice catch!
Yeah, it was their dad, that's why at the end of the duty instead of normal "Victory" WoL, they look sad.
If you pay attention, I believe Cahciua who guides you throught tat dungeon (or it might be a Duty Support party member, one of the two) goes "wait, it can't be... is that??" when you first encounter him.
I'm pretty sure that's because he IS their dad. Or what's left of him.
In trial 2, if you go in with trusts, one of the boss's more complicated attacks ends up confusing Wuk Lamat and she stands in the wrong spot. There's even cute dialog from her during the trial about it.
And in the first trial, the characters who are relatively new to fighting make a lot of mistakes early on while the veterans mostly avoid the attacks, just like you'd expect them to. (And if you aren't a healer, your second healer comments that she's making mistakes because she's not used to healing!)
Wait a second you just described party finder. .
2:44 alternate versions of Carvallain and Rhoswen are in Solution 9! They even have a small interaction together where she pulls up on a motorcycle - I think it's down by True Vue
I need to find this!
Genolt is obviously a reflection of Gerolt and Grenolt, and of course the Rowena counter park. Genolt avoids her entirely going so far as to never leave the recreation district so as not to encounter her.
I am almost positive Otis is a reflection of Hildebrand. They have the same face though Otis has scars. But there is an underlying goofiness to Otis seen in area 6.
Once and only once they even make the same face. So not only Steiner.
The cornservant is avaliable along side the MSQ, if anyone want to do it along side MSQ whenever MSQ is about to end on that map (final quest of the zone will have aether current) the cornservant quest will already avaliable on that map (first 3 maps will be avalaible when first half of the map is about to end) , the quest name is obvious I can pick out his quest everytime.
the sound for that baby mamool ja
What i learned from this expac is that ppl love mamool ja. Yoshi-P, when Mamool ja playable you coward!?
I swear I saw PINT on a billboard in Solution 9 during one of the early cutscenes.
Adding to the visual updates, as a raen au’ra fem with the forward-facing horns, the horns glow slightly red at the tips in daylight, just like when you hold your fingers up to a light. It was a small but surprising touch that made my WoL feel a little more real.
Elezen ears do the same thing when backlit by sunlight.
I'm guessing most people took a moment to enjoy that parent playing with their kid when passing through that path on the MSQ, its just too adorable
Your mounts tilt now! When using the turning keys (or turning via camera movement on KB+M), your mounts will tilt in the direction you're turning. All mounts do so when flying, but the best part is only mounts that make sense will tilt when grounded - for example, turning the Regalia doesn't tilt it on the ground, since... well, it's a car. But most of the horse mounts or bird mounts will tilt.
And not only that, they tilt slightly more or less depending on *how hard* you're turning, too!
It's such a small little detail that I don't remember seeing on patch notes or anywhere, and when I first saw it, for some reason I was just flabbergasted.
yeah, I love that. It's such a small thing that just adds more realism and charm to the game.
The remark about those early-expansion bugs being the things we have memories of is really on-point. I recall all the way back in Heavensward, there was a huge swarm of Naboori(?)- those floating plant enemies, near the entry point of the Dravanian Hinterlands. I also recall going through the MSQ with my friend and reaching that swarm, and then using Shadewalker on him, Katon on the swarm, and then sprinting away. Good times!
my goodness that baby mamool ja
Hearing that last one is really interesting if you want a good /gpose, but I’m the kind of person that doesn’t shy away from reality. I prefer the dead looking world to show how the mistakes we make result in irreparable consequences.
plus imho the new zone looks really nice by itself; even though the world looks dead, the sky's natural lighting adds a relly nice effect even to the bare electrope
Eye details was shown during the 10th anniversary 14 hour broadcast at 2:41:47 where a lalafell npc standing in the Horizon got zoomed in. And if you turn on your subtitles auto translate at 2:42:08 a little after Yoshi P would mention that the eyes are moving. Which gets further noticed by live chat.
Decided to watch this as a fun thing in the morning and was instantly hit with feels when you mentioned the S9 secrets. What the heck, Rinon, I'm not meant to cry while eating my breakfast! Did all the side quests as they popped up during the MSQ and the cornservant was always fun to look out for.
tip incase anyone needs but sleep can be useful for when ur tank dies in dungeon can swiftcast and put the pack to sleep to stall a bit while tank finds aggro again
can confirm I think I've used sleep in the last week more times than any other time in the whole game 😂
I do this with Repose when I get the inevitable noob DRK tank in Stone Vigil trying to w2w pull while LoSing me in level 30 gear and not popping mits.
Really? I stopped using sleep entirely because it seemed like every enemy past ARR had invuln to it, wild they brought it back.
I would like to know where each of the scions are hanging out at after you finish msq so we can visit them
I loved it when cornservant said "it's cornin' time" and then corned all over the Alexandrian army.
For those who haven't yet, consider clearing the yellow quest chains, especially those in the last zone. You can tell which ones have a cutscene by the banner image above the quest accept window. Some of those are pretty neat! (one even got me in the feels)
i hate it when he corns everywhere...
Prior to DT, if your lalafell was in water while your camera was out of water, all of the lalafell's eyebrows would disappear. This is no longer the case. But it was really funny when it was still a thing
I was doing Cornservant simultaneously to msq and it was hilarious. Finishing a quest and bumbling into them was always a welcome surprise.
So, as an Au'ra player, I was kinda upset with the original change to Limbal Rings (them just being a blending point whereas they used to be two distinct colors.) And when the benchmark 1.0 came out, it was worse than I expected, and then it got better with 2.0. Now with release, it is almost imperceptible the little change they made (now they are still blending, but at the edges, and it is nice and subtle,) because the bigger change, the actual glow in the dark aspect of them, has me too awestruck to care. The either subtle glow in a dimly lit area or cutscene, or the big bright glow in darkness, is just amazing.
I know! It’s so cool sometimes when you wear a hood in the cutscene and the last thing the enemy sees before getting clapped is the glowing rings in the dark staring at them. Pretty goofy too when you’re supposed to be out of sight except you can see those eyes all the way from behind the boulders wol hiding 😂
The Cornservent is available almost immediately. I did his quests as soon as they unlocked when you unlock side quests for each zone.
6:59 can confirm. I was playing through all the sidequests as I went and every time I got to a new area I was eagerly waiting for the Corn servant quests to show up. Delightfully silly questline.
In the final zone, at the left of the fire terminal theres a few handrail. About half of them have missing hitbox, its kinda funny to play around it
double-blessed video because of cornbro and tiny lizard king. thanks, homie o7
Huh, that's really good to know about the final zone and NG+. I really liked how it looked and it was actually painful to do what we did. At least we can get a snapshot of it in time with flight.
That first secret about Yoshida's departed friend actually made me cry when you remember the whole message of Dawntrail is letting the dead live on in memory
the sleep is hysterical. Might do it for the laughs when I get in there again. Also NEW GAME+?! I forgot about that totally doing that when I fate grind in that zone.,
Maybe not that crazy or interesting but in Tural city you can get onto the two little towers at the port entrance. If you jump up some of the boxes in the market you can get on the tent roofs. Then you can jump onto one of the shade cloths to get over to the towers.
I loved exploring around solution 9 and checking out every npc, even the ones you can't talk to but give a little bubble text. My favorite is the random dude to the upper right 9f the map half submerged in a trashcan so wasted he thinks it's a bed. Honestly random npc dude....mood.
There’s one NPC that complains about how overworked and exhausted he is. I thought it was a dev writing that dialogue close to a deadline.
Theres a character in Solution 9 that looks incredibly similar to a character from Trails of Cold Steel, McBurn. Dude has the same hair color, hair style, everything.
I keep sleep around cause whatever, but can we use sleep to interrupt attacks? What's it good for?
same, man. since I was leveling black mage in shb. but yknow, since wow got lich king back in the day, mmo CC is a lost art
It's good for doing that, but a lot of dungeon mobs will be either completely immune to the status, or will be hit by the deluge of incoming damage, and any damage at all will wake them immediately. Since you've got stuns and interrupts available for most of these mobs anyway, Sleep is a niche and nearly pointless addition. However, the turtle is immune to stuns, making sleep the only way to interrupt it's stomp attack.
It’s very useful in the Baldesion Arsenal
Another funny bug of sorts is that you can do the yellow quest "Once a Riddler, Now a Ruler" before the MSQ "Dawn of a New Tomorrow" and the former alludes to a significant reveal that hasn't happened yet. At least I don't think it's been patched unless I overlooked an update
You can do the cornservant quest alongside the MSQ
*sees the putting the tortoise to sleep thing* Well, that's a new thing on the list of trying things out;
The eye movement thing was discussed during one of the LL but it was with NPCs. Also, there's a certain glaze to the eyes that makes you think 'yep, that's an eyeball'
The Baby!
I really wish they’d either find a use for repose/sleep outside of niche situations or just replace it with something more useful
Hmm. This is certainly a thematic expansion to add a Milady npc in.
I love Dawntrail
There's a hole in Heritage Found around x: 12.9, y: 16.9 that you can't escape without flight. Found it by accident during the MSQ.
Baby Mamool Ja's are my favourite thing about Dawntrail, they're so dang cute
it is kind of disappointing you have to do the plot points for that last zone before you get flight. But neat that there is a way around that for screenshot purposes.
I haven't reached the last zone yet, but I know the NG+ trick because I used it to revert the BGM in Ultima Thule :D
How do we not have the moving roomba in solution 9 talked about
That male Au Ra thing with eating pizza only happened to that specific face
Shalaoni NE the miqo tent town area you can hear a miqo playing min dt leitmotif theme near a campfire
My group calls that parent and baby Mamool Ja the "wholesome uppies"
I found a guy in a dumpster in Solution 9. Just saw him chilling while I did the trash collecting side quest haha
You didn't mention anything about the references to wanderer's palace hard mode or other things like that during the story that your character clearly reacts to. Or that one of the expert dungeons has the source's version of the Au Ra obsessed with the serpent on the first.
Oh dang, i didn't notice the YoshiP WoL.... i afk my character with those girls often lol
I think that pizza bug is going to be the new low poly grapes meme.
I'm told you can spot recurring NPC Carvaillain's doppelganger running around
Thanks for the tip of how to revert the final zone! It’s such a great zone to leave in its dead state.
It seems like such a waste with all of the graphical effort and ambience put into it
Oh my friend mentioned the Maidy NPC, and I went and confirmed with old screenshots. That is INDEED Maidy Maidy and I was UGLY CRYING. It is such a sweet homage.
boonewa and hoobigo lore has been the highlight of the expansion for me. Just great to really see it fleshed out. Hoping to get the baby sooooon!
Yoshi-p mentioned the eyes movements live.
Sure!
How do you zoom that close to your character?
Stand up next to a wall, facing it, and using the wall to push the camera closer.
@@Sllandre Ooooh thank you
Weird restriction on new game plus I’ve found because of this is I can’t do it while I have levequests :(
massive banger video, my liege
huge banger comment, my king
Showing off the mount smh
Ikr? Some guildies are at 99 kills and seen only 2 drops
So many secrets.
i can't believe they added the feature to add comments to the blacklist before adding it to the friendslist..
i'm someone who gives everyone a comment on every platform so i can keep up with name changes, and this has been a feature i've wanted in xiv for ages :(
@6:45 go get your Pelupelu card
Rinon with 66 in the blocklist XD
Ah yes, the S9 jumping puzzle
That Unlimited Jump in Solution 9 is absolutely going away. I cant find any sources myself strictly applying this philosophy to XIV, but I've read before that Japanese devs are real stickers for maintaining the "beleivaility" of their fictional worlds, and having them "flawless", which creates a pretty harsh anti-glitch perspective, no matter how benign or useless. Especially if it's something that has gained any degree of traction.
I hope they don't patch the last zone to not let you revert it.
Yeah. Spoilers here, kinda.
You remember a certain set of pink haired twins? They tell us about the reason they took off their regulators, concerning their father named Ambrose.
We do meet something with that same name…. and a name postfix. They pulled an Amh Araeng us and then added a fukken pet to cause others ptsd
Cameos are a nice thought, but I imagine it's also unintentional. Considering how limited character creation can be. Not saying some are not real, but some might be just the same due to the limitations.
baby mamool ja!!!!!!!!
I can't enjoy ff14/play 7.0 because of minimum requirements for my laptop prohibit me from doing so. I'm glad everyone who's able to play are enjoying it well
Cant wait for more EX trialsssss
I'm so excited for the 7.1 EX
@RinBanana has potential to be the best EX in the game ON THE WHOLE
Rip totem pole
Sleep working in a dungeon in 2024 is great lol
Seems they patched out the Solution Nine invisible floor :(
nnoooOOOO
Holeh moleh
zyxl mentioned
The /lookout npc in Tuliyolaal has also a counterpart in Solution 9.
that's not a counterpart, that's her sister
boh babisa
For anyone unsure about doing the New Game + thing because it would go against the point of the MSQ.
A major part of that was that everyone wanted to be remembered for the happy moments and turning on the lights again will definitely make it easier to remember the good then the bad
Petition to replace all lalafell character models with baby Mamool Ja character models
Its a story moment, but when Erenvale asks about his mom in heritage found and nobody knows her, you just pass it off.
But AFTER learning about the regulator and going to Living Memory and finding out the truth about her. Its a super smart bit of foreshadowing. They give you the fact that straight up, she is dead, front and center, but you just dont have the context to parse that out yet
Genolt 👍
Wuk Lamat 👎
Is it really a good homage when you place a character whose player died in solution 9? Cause all these characters with the regulators live off the souls of the dead members...meaning DoL's character was being sustained by other souls up until msq progression.
1 view in 38 seconds, bro fell off
it's joever
have you even been on the internet during the last two weeks? 😂absolutely not everyone is having a fun time, this expansion is misserable to it's core
"i skipped the story" i skipped your video. For the record, Pentalegend here, EX 1 and EX 2 cleared. Don't care about your garbo opinion though. Make a review when you've done the story otherwise shut up this is not your space. ;)
