I don't know if this counts as a secret, but when you're fighting Byakko on Extreme difficulty, if he picks a lalafell up for his tank buster thing, he will hold them upside down rather than right side up like he does for every other race.
"IM'MA PLUCK ME A POTATO!" - Byakko, probably
I love that you can find Alpha and Omega around the world after you finish the Omega storyline. I see them in Mor Dhona a lot!
That's where I run into them most of the time, I guess it's just reflective of the times of day I play.
They tend to show up during seasonal events as well
I saw them outside copperbell once
I found them at the camp where you meet Ga Bu & and one of the edges of the Lochs!
I just saw him for the first time last night outside Idyllshire while I was fate farming
If the fight goes on long enough in Dohn Mheg, the boss has an...Anti-Enrage? Is that a thing?
He repeats the spell he used earlier in the battle to turn himself into a giant monster, but messes it up and accidentally turns himself into a helpless frog. I feel like this does a great job of driving home how non-serious the Fuath are about...EVERYTHING.
I personally love how trust characters react to a certain mechanic on the final boss in Dohn Meg. Thancred runs a small distance before just yeeting over the gap, Alisae sprints it with a snarky remark, but my favorite is Urianger who considers the mechanic for a second and just teleports across the whole thing. I didn't cover everyone, but I like how that mechanic shows everyone's different personalities.
Alphi and Ryne just tip-toes very….slowly. But for others, I wanna scream at them for being unfair! I’m a WoL and why can’t I do that lmao!?
I thought Urianger would recite a poem about what the mechanic would represent. x)
Someone on Reddit posted a compilation for it for all of the trust dungeons
The thing with Urianger is that he uses Aetherial Manipulation, so he actually waits until someone else gets across then warps to them. Also Y'shtola just power walks it and says the whole thing is just rediculous.
@@silmerien6 Ryne doesn't even make it across before the mechanic ends LOL
The skies clear up after defeating Lorelei in the Sirensong Sea, so you can use Return and explore the dungeon when it's nice a sunny out
no kidding eh?
You also get a rainbow !
In the Fringes there's a cave and in it there's a bonfire with a sword in the middle. A warm and dark reference to a beloved game franchise
Dark Souls!
where is this? ive been trying to find it
During ARR when you have to find Cid, the priest mentioned The Goobbue Wall, its a reference to 1.0 when players line up in Ul’dah entrance with Goobbues mount to fight bunch of enemies during the calamity. Its cool that the dev decided that what legacy players do during 1.0 is canon lore
Yea I thought for sure this would be in the video she needs to know about this its actually legendary.
Yes! I was there and when I saw this little easter egg I was really happy
I dunno if it's really an Easter egg, but to add to the creepiness of Edda. During the Final Boss fight of Tam Tara hard Edda changes from creepy laughing and crying as a background noise.
The cries also play through the speakers on the Ps5 controller, so I was extremely creeped out when doing this dungeon in a roulette the other day.
I dont remember the crying sounds playing through the ps4 controller though, maybe they did and it was just quieter and I never noticed.
But if it is a new addition it is super creepy and now has me even more terrified of this dungeon.
I dang near wet myself the first time I played that dungeon on PS5. It's super creepy hearing it when it never happened before.
This dungeon is creepy AF... certainly i did NOT expect this from a final fantasy game... especialy regretting doing the dungeon at 2AM in the night
- You can remove the "Misery" debuff the Gremlins apply by using "/comfort"
- Lyhe Mheg has some hammocks at the top. /doze in the top one will make special fairy NPCs spawn and have a conversation.
- You can use /splash emote on other liquids like Toxic Puddles in Aurum Vale and Lava in Lab of the Ancients.
- There is a Snowman in Shiva's Arena. Also the Lore is that Eorzean Snowmans are built with 2 balls while Garlean are built with 3.
- You can MOUSE OVER the pictures of Minions and Mounts in your collection and get an additional NPC quote from someone.
- If you don't skip the usual "Victory" Cutscene in Wanderers Palace (Hard) you will get to see a slightly different cutscene than most dungeons. Tonberries will come rushing in and slice up the boss while your character looks disgusted.
- In the FATE "Don't feed the Gremlins" in Lakeland the enemies will visibly insult you with chatboxes like "Your face is breaking my immersion!" and "Your Fashion sense is bad and you should feel bad!"
- You can actually use Medicine items on your Party members including the Antidote, Spine Drop and Gold Needle items.
- In the Ala Mhigo Dungeon there will be an NPC yelling at you to "Attack the Scorpion when it's tail is up!". This is an easteregg from FF7. The "it's" typo is left in intentionally and also you were supposed to NOT attack the Scorpion with its tail up as it would counterattack.
- If you are slow finishing off the final boss of Dohn Mheg he will "botch his performance" by accident and turn into a small helpless toad below 5%.
- The YELLOW Quest "Magiteknical Difficulties" in Mor Dhona will let you unlock your Pet-Hotbar actions for your Magitek Armor mount. This also works for its Gilded variant and the two Store mounts "Red Baron" and "White Devil".
- The Endwalker Titles you get for doing the MSQ have part of the lyrics of the Trailer hidden in their description.
- In the "Chrysalis" trial any buff applied before getting drawn into the Rift gets extended 10-fold. You can have 1+ minute of Hallowed Ground !
- Spawning Hunt S-Ranks in FF14 has some hilarious triggers. Like using BLU Mage Self Destruct on their spawn points, discarding stacks of Eggs or run over their spawn with 10 people having a specific minion out.
So an extra eye's not all they're packing...
WAITWHAT. You can remove Misery by EMOTE? EMOTE? That's.... Thanks.
I’ve always thought you should be able to remove sleep by slapping someone awake.
I was so disappointed when ryne-shiva's arena didn't have a snowman ):
Also lol the /comfort, I use it all the time. I've been yelled at before for it, too.
"- You can remove the "Misery" debuff the Gremlins apply by using "/comfort" "
Wait...WHAT?!?! o.O
I have to try these things now...
(Okay, I knew the /spash one and THINK I knew the Snowman one...and I learned about the mouseover minions/mounts things about 6 months ago; I've been playing since 2.2 or 2.3...
I hope in Endwalker you can find a certain Roegadyn travelling around the world now that were able to explore more of Eorzea
I await that person return in main story
I have a feeling he will be in Thavnair, seems like a spiritual place for him to be and completely different from Doma or Eorzea so he won't be reminded of his past and can meditate and whatnot
Isn't he human? I thought they only used a modified model to make him look bigger.
@@watchthis8O He's Roe, apparently the eastern roes just look like that
@@watchthis8O nah he is defo referred to as Roegadyn in at least one of the cutscenes.
In Lydha Lran, there is an unnamed pixie. If you stand close to them, they say, "Now you see me, now you don't!" They then teleport away. If you find them after that, they begin playing hide-and-seek with you.
_"If you have a Miqo'te in your party..."_
Let's be honest, there is a 100% chance that there will be a Miqo'te in the party.
But Well Fed in 70 dungeon? Now thats one in thousand chance
Being as I play a Miqo'te there is always a 100% chance. lol
@@SurrealLeaf I make a lot of HQ Roasted Chicken for myself. The 5% I fail to HW with macros becomes my dungeon food. However, I am not a miqo'te.
@@SurrealLeaf Eat your Boiled Eggs to help you grow!
No there isn't
Small Easter Egg in Mayoya's Relict... when the final boss knocks you in the air, you can see 8 bit versions of the FF1 WoL etched into the walls.
Wait wtf WHATTT o-O
Wait what??!!!
That's so cooll
Another little easter egg in Matoya's Relict: at the beginning of the dungeon, over on the right next to the little table, there's a pillow shaped like Y'shtola.
You can see them when at the dungeons entrance and cinematic too.
I remember flipping my shit when I saw it lol
Similar to the pixies, you can occasionally bump into the sky pirates from void ark hanging out in the gold saucer
I beat the sky pirates story line last well this is really kool to know
Cait Sith will remark that the place feels familiar. This is actually a reference to Final Fantasy 7, as the party Member Cait Sith is encountered and joins the party in FF7's Gold Saucer
After finishing the shadows of mhach raid you can spot leofard and the redbills at the forgotten knight(upper entrance) and the golden saucer(cactpot area), cait sith says something interesting here as well
i knew abt the forgotten knight but i hadn’t seen them in the saucer!!
@@bittersweetvictory8541 I'm the opposite. I've seen them in the saucer but I didn't know they showed up at the Knight
I just finished this questline last night! That's dope, gonna keep an eye out now!
I haven't seen it in years, but for a while, if you hung around on the edge of the Bloodcoast at sunset, you'd see cloaked ninjas sneaking out to sea, heading out on a mission. You can tell because while sneaky, they do a poor job hiding those glowing daggers. Would not be surprised if they stop once the Doman of Mor Dhona head home. But since Oboro is still in the area, who knows.
Oh my goodness, I found someone else who knows about this! I uploaded a video of this years ago to see if anyone knew what it was and to show that I wasn't crazy to my friends!
I don't think it spawns anymore since the Costa Del Sol map got changed to include swimming in Stormblood.
I used to think it was a drowned ghost because it walks from the ocean, onto a rock and then back out into the ocean but you could be right about it being invisible and going on a mission.
id be pretty cool if they add 90 job quests to add this to the nin story line just me thinking
I really liked that when you are a low level character you can often see Edda and her party members around the various main story quest spots and dungeon entrances talking to each other before you ever see them officially in quests, when they [REDACTED]
dude... so sad to see Edda [REDACTED] but i wish Conjurer has other job stone as Necromancer
Reading this makes me regret I did not pay more attention to seemingly random NPCs. I wonder if NG+ would let me run around and find them throughout the world.
@@DridriKon don't think so but if you make an alt your first encounter with them would probably be within half an hour of playing
@@arxeha Necormancer wouldn't make sense to split off from Conjurer within the lore of FFXIV. Conjury is all about harmony with nature. How would Necromancy fit into that?
@@DridriKon NG+ you will see them outside Sastasha, you can also see Delores Bear and his buds from the cutscene after Sastasha outside Tam Tara, by the time you get to Copperbell they’ve been killed, someone outside tells you.
The wind up dalamud and wind up louisoux also fight. There's a second lala house in the other dwarf town aswell. I love all the little npc interactions and stories dotted around towns and stuff, the first time i noticed them was way back when they were building up mor dhona and there is a npc storyline going on near the entrance to rowenas.
After defeating the final boss in Rhodona Lighthouse, if you use return and run all the way back through the dungeon, you'll find Construct 7 doing his dance.
On HoH on floor 99, there's a chance you'll run into a Heavenly Dodo patrol (since the nest on floor 100 presumably belongs to it.)
Do you mean Ridorana Lighthouse? :D
I really want player versions of the Dwarven furniture. Properly sized furniture for my Lalafell's apartment! You've already made it, Square, let me put it in my room.
you can see francel visits his friend's grave sometimes. he even come greets us. it hurts.
I'm still somewhat sad we didn't get a full Hildy questline in ShB, but it's nice that they still gave him a bit of screentime in the dungeon, even if it is a rare thing.
The weird thing about it to me is how well his departure in SB would easily segway into his arrival in ShB. It's like they were anticipating it, but backed out.
@@lagtastic7511 I read from others that they think likely didn't appear because they didn't want to tire the fans from having to deal with him for ARR and 2 expansions later. Like they thought overuse jokes might annoy the players.
@@Miyao05 I hope they return as a surprise for endwalker
@@sirflimflam He's totally gonna show up on the moon and that would work just as well honestly.
He's confirmed to come back in 6.x. Devs said it was getting repetitive and they wanted time to think of ways to improve upon the next Hildy questline, which is why they took a break from him.
It's funny, I didn't do Hildy for a long time because I typically don't like that type of humor, but when I finally did, I enjoyed it a lot and thought it was hilarious and did it all the way to the end (it was sometime in mind SB when I finally did them, though I think I might have accidentally started the first one a long time before that...)
I get taking a break, but I do hope he comes back at some point.
And, as he WAS technically on the First, his "through the portal" business actually did pay off somewhat. Though how he gets BACK (or if the Hildy questline will start on the First...?) might be interesting.
Or they'll totally play it off with a "Sea turtles, mate. A pair of them, strapped to me feet" sort of joke. I could see them going either way with it, honestly.
In the Ruby Sea, after you unlocked ShB. If you swim down to the deepest depth of the ocean, you can find a pineapple.
no way gotta see this
No fricking way
Nearing the end of Shadowbringers, in the quest Reflections in Crystal, after the sequence of cutscenes you can talk with the "new" member and show him your Wind-up Mystal. If you do, a small cutscene starts playing
I want a certain elezan to appear sometimes at night if you visit the in the Coerthas Central Highlands. Like they're still keeping an eye on you and Ishgard even after
They kind of do already have a thing like that. If you visit in the Central Highlands, an NPC might show up as you run up to it and talk to you briefly.
@@UltimaKeyMaster I don't mean that npc, I mean a certain elezan we all love and miss showing up next to their at night sometimes (during a full moon maybe? Midnight/2 am ET? Something along those lines) if you visit it, like a ghost or something, kind of like how you can sometimes see in the base cities if you've done Tam Tara Hard.
@@ClockworkCouture. I think their last hurrah, as it were, is when they show up after the fight to help you save
@@ClockworkCouture. I'm having trouble keeping up with all the s (would be cool if said someone had shown up in that cool ShB quest where you sort of walk through your memories of the past games' events...), but I have a feeling if they DID have his ghost in the game, it wouldn't be at his .
Though, damn Yoshi P, but that dialogue option in Amorout was like a dagger in my heart. Of course that's the option I had to pick! "Fate can be cruel..."
@@SubduedRadical I'm pretty sure he was in it! you just don't fight him. Look for him in the background
One of my favorite Easter eggs is one I found referencing 1.0. I had a friend who played 1.0 and he said towards the end of the game when the servers were going down they made a wall of their gobbue mounts. Well if you go to East Thanalan and go to the cliff on the map that is north of the Amalj'aa Encampment there is a decayed Gobbue and an npc near by. If you talk to the npc he references the time in 1.0
I thought it was very neat even as one who did not play 1.0
My favorite one is that the Wind-Up Magnai minion will run away if male WoLs pet him, and nod his head if female WoLs pet him. Very in-character
He will also fight with Sadu
Where do you get those minions from?
@@danjc9783 Crafting, you need a component that sells a npc in the Doman restauration but they both come from crafting
Please tell me Wind-up Little Sun has an interaction with a Y'shtola minion.
@@jeffd.683 Not that I know of but Magnai having 3 interactions is really something XD
The real hidden easter egg in the video is that Zepla found Zenos hairstylist
What if she cosplays as Zepnos for Halloween?
The whole story around Edda was really well done. I felt so bad for her.
Its tragic and creepy
i see you didn't mention being able to see peoples retainers mining fishing and botanizing, insanely rare chance to see but i used to catch them in bluefog, also alpha/omega adventuring around
I'd like to see this more often. Seems like an easy way to fill less populated zones and make them feel more alive.
i saw one in the shroud once! i think it was in the north shroud (?) it was mining a rock, i remember i thought it was just a fate about to spawn but on closer inspection it had their typical blue outfit on so i realized it was actually a retainer doing their thing
would be funny to see retainers 'steal' parts of houses. everytime my retainer comes back with a window or a door, I'm wondering where this is missing now 😂
I saw Alpha in ok zundu a couple weeks ago.
Wait what? You can see retainers do stuff?? Can you see your own??
At the start of Weeping City of Mhach raid from HW, if you look at the pyramid in the distance you can see Ozma. After beating him and returning to the entrance, he can no longer be seen.
I’m drawing a blank on minion interactions, but the one I do remember is the Wolf Pup growling at the Couerl Kitten. And I’m really sad that the Ryne and Gaia minions don’t have an interaction.
Wish they would eat coffee biscuits together
or make out
Magnai minion gets mad if youre a male character and you pet it 😂
The Calca and Brina minions dance with each other, and the Magic Bucket goldfish does a flip if you /poke it.
The Lyna minion will run up to the Mystel minion and salute (she will also do what looks like wiping tears).
Found out on accident when my friend had out the Mystel minion since I've had Lyna out since my CD arrived.
One of my favourites is the decking around the Bismarck in Limsa. If you go around to the lower area, where there are a Roe and Miqo'te NPC, you can find a big square in the wall, where they covered up a 1.0 window, and the graphics couldn't match around the edges.
There is a Star Trek reference in the Ruby Sea, a shipwreck at the ocean floor near the northeast corner of the map is called the Kobayashi Maru. This references an infamous "No-win Scenario" trial that all command cadets must face while in Starfleet Academy where a Federation associated ship, the Kobayashi Maru, has drifted across the border with a hostile neighbor (typically Klingons but the opponent can differ based on political climate). The captain in training is charged with getting the Kobayashi Maru's crew to safety without risking their own. This was meant to teach prospective captains that they may make all correct decisions and still fail in some situations, and those that are not willing to accept this might not be fit for command. Infamously Captain Kirk managed to 'beat' the scenario by cheating.
Of course when I first saw that I was interested if there may have been a Japanese legend that both this and Star Trek might have been referencing, but so far I've come up empty on that. Maybe someone might know something that I don't.
I always thought the Blue, Yellow and Red Jackets of Limsa were a Star Trek reference?
@@Shiny49GER I think they only have the Yellow Jackets, I don't recall anything about Blue or Red, and only Yellow Jackets probably matches some of the wasps that inhabit the area.
@@MakoYoushida I joking refer them as yugioh gx jackets for the color scheme.
you can find void ark flying in see of cloud before even they add the raid also go to yanxia you will find fox lady wandering around sometime
also if you do sigma 2 there's minions from ff6 running in the raid
With fox lady do you mean the one mentioned during the four holy beast quest line?
@@alexiosblake9804 Its the Fate that spawns in Yanxia. The one that looks like the mount you get from having all SB trial mounts. "Upon capture by a wicked Hingan onmyoji, the nine-tailed fox spirit slumbering deep within the young maiden Mikuzume awakens. Now, the only way to stop the legendary Tamamo Gozen is with an excessive display of force."
please use punctuation. This is very hard to read
I noticed that before I even knew it was a raid. Hell, I started the raid quest without knowing it was HW's Allience raids
I remember doing msq (around Bizmark), out of the corner of my eye I see this purple and black thing in the clouds below. I looked at it, wondered what the fuck it was, then continued on.
I later did Void Arc after beating 3.0 and as soon as that opening cutscene started I was like “Oh its that thing I saw earlier!?!” So cool.
There is also a few more, after the Omega quest you can find Omega and Alpha in certain zones, also some (idk if all) of the level 80job quests change the world, like on Dancer you can find Ranaa in Kugane and for Samurai you can find the "cowboy samurai" training at the school in Kugane
If I'm remembering correctly, there's actually a cutoff for Edda's ghost appearing. After clearing floor 100 of PotD, a new quest appears and I believe she stops appearing after that.
Think it's the floor 50 boss but you are right, she stops after getting so far and doing the quest from potd.
That's so cool
It's after killing the boss on floor 100 and some followUp-quests she finally gets to rest.
So she does no longer appear once you Finish the PoD quest??
I love that you can come across peoples retainers out in the field. I've seen it twice I think but sadly didn't get any pics or video.
The boss ability 'Garish Light' which Petrifies you if you're facing it when cast, is a Phantom of the Opera reference. The song goes: "Turn your face away, from the garish light of day."
Not quite easter eggs, but some very hidden things in the game include:
- Aurora Borealis in Coerthas _Western_ Highlands. There's a chance to see them between 8pm - 12am and between 12 am - 4 am ET during clear/fair skies (which isn't often!)
- Rainbows after a weather change from precipitation to visible weather during 8 am and 4 pm ET weather transitions. Ffxivgardening has a gallery of ingame rainbows, which was introduced after yours truly started a hunt for rainbows :3
ohhhh! i think i did see once an aurora borealis ! these are nice details!
Yes! I saw them in the Azim Steppe once and it was such a sight to behold--unfortunately they're fleeting and I couldn't get a screenshot of it with group pose fast enough before it started fading away. ;__; Freeze your weather conditions first! ;)
There’s also a Diamond Dust weather effect in Western Coerthas Highlands during sunny clear conditions, too.
A-AURORA BOREALIS?? AT THIS TIME OF YEAR, IN THIS PART OF THE GAME, LOCALIZED ENTIRELY IN COERTHAS WESTERN HIGHLANDS??
@@TMBG1337 Yes.
Another Easter Egg, if you do all the Role Quests in Shadowbringers, you unlock a hidden Extra Quest in the Crystarium
That’s not really an Easter egg, it’s just a progression mission.
There's a ghost that walks through the Coerthas Central Highlands. I spotted it during a blizzard a LONG time ago, and it vanished after walking some distance between Camp Dragonhead and Mor Dhona. It had some sort of chat bubble, but I ran into it so long ago that I can't remember what it was saying, and I can't find any evidence online that anyone else has run into it.
it was probably not a ghost, there are npcs without name that appear in the world and then fade away
Wind-up louisuox and wind-up dalamud also fight with each other!
Wind-up tonberry and wolf pup will actually run and attack the enemy you’re attacking!
The mandragora minions will come together have a dance competition.
Those are all the minion Easter eggs I know from ARR, I’m sure there are a lot more
The kitten and puppy fight each other
Ultros runs away when a male character pets him
A certain Hrothfar minion will run up to a “Matoya” and offer a flower 💜
not from ARR but funny: if you slap the shoebill it will fly away.
I wish there would be more minion interactions. There are so many minions based on major characters an famous monsters from other FF games, it would so funny if they could fight or something. Even just the wind-up versions of 14 characters talking to each other would cool. Like the alphinau and alisae minions would fight or the ruahbahn minion would pick up the nanamo minion.
Nidhogg and Estinien minions fight each other too, there are a fair few!
If you visit a certain best boy from HW final training place you get a little extra.
There are Moai statues hidden in many of the FF games.
One of the things I really like about XIV is they often have a lot of humor and references to pop culture in the side quests. NPCs have really crazy dialogs sometimes as well.
On the NPC part, I just remembered there's one in the Peaks named Immodest Mouse or something, referencing the band Modest Mouse. Even his dialogue makes reference to their hit song Float On. The localization team is amazing lol
"One of the things I really like about XIV is they often have a lot of humor and references to pop culture in the side quests."
That sadly gets often lost in other translations than english.
@@Kyir_Fern My understanding is the pop culture references are part of the English localisation rather than a direct translation. If that's true experiences will vary from translation to translation.
@@benjamingrissom1828 I can only speak of german localisation, and I know that its often very different from english.
And german one looks often more like direct japanese translation, at least from the bits I've heard about differences between japanese and english.
Sadly I don't know japanese to confirm it.
One of the Male Au-ra retainer personalities is entirely Sideshow Bob quotes. Rather appropriate for the race's size/stance, but leave it to Koji Fox to put the two together.
They don't have to be well fed on Skalla! I see it all the time as the only miqo in my party and I've had everything to 80 for a long while so I save my food for raids and I see it every time. I don't know it wasn't popping for you if they weren't well fed :o I went through with a group on loop trying to get the seal minion and I was the only miqo in the party. In all 30+ runs I saw it every time and I hadn't eaten once... It was in those runs I learned it wasn't something everyone got :o
Also, the Lyna minion will sprint up to the Mystel minion and salute, she will also wipe her eyes as if she was crying :(
I only realized this watching Pyromancer learn it, but in Turn 13, the entire arena is a direct reference to the Phylogenetic Tree in Biology.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phylogenetic_tree
The tree is also spinning very slowly
You can spy a lot of random NPCs in the Gold Saucer at times, particularly around and cheering you on during the Air Force One GATE. I've seen Serendipity and GiGi, Yellow Rose, Typhon, Ultros, a male Miqo'te wearing the bunny outfit, and some others I can't remember off the top of my head. There's even more just generally wandering around during the Make it Rain events!
you can see godbert too during air force one!
One of my favorite minions is Conditional Virtue. Not only is it a pun from Absolute Virtue from Baldesian Arsenal, but it harkens back to FFXI and the craziness of Absolute Virtue there. I think Absolute Virtue still has never been defeated legitimately as a full level 75 group. That's how hard that fight was.
Absolute virtue is regularly popped and killed somewhat easily nowadays.
@@RatikusuCh True, but that is why I said legitimately as a full level 75 group.
@@Spirit-FilledMindset yeah it can be quite difficult
Didn't the devs just decide to outright tell players about using their 2H skills to counter AV from using them?
I want to play that game so bad but honestly the UI and controls are so obtuse it just pisses me off. I wish they would re-release it with updated controls and UI, but leave the game play alone. Then release it alongside a subscription Bundle with FFXIV.
Would be consitered an easter egg to consiter that the people seem to remember you helping them before if you have, from crafter guildmasters reconizing you if you need to talk to them for something else to Estinien calling you an Azure Dragoon in HW if you did the ARR Dragoon quests, to Alpha and Omega traveling the world after completing Alphascape. Its pretty great.
Wouldn’t be suprised if Zenos has something to say if you play Reaper in Endwalker...
During Shadowbringers MSQ, if you look around in a questing area after zone 3, sometimes you will find the shoebill minion. Its also found in most of the Shadowbringers "zoom" type quests where you look around for objects. The same is true in Endwalker MSQ with the axoltl minion after zone 5.
Edda is great for Halloween this year.
Also during main questing rather than immediately go talk to the next NPC to advance the storyline I strongly suggest walking around to see if you can find your fellow Scions in the area. They often have something funny to say, or doing something cute or funny. For example in Shadowbringers there is a part where you're walking around a huge cavern. If you walk around a bit you can find all the Scions exploring the area and you'll find Ryne in the next chamber playing with a shoebill.
I remember doing the fisher quest in Stormblood and one of the quest NPCs was quite deep underwater spearfishing. You'd have to go out of your way to find him and he doesn't say anything special, but it's a nice little detail nonetheless.
Funny or cute my arse.
Tancred was getting drunk while i was fighting primals with my life as stake.
These scions are lazy as balls. Or at least so it seems to me. Minfillia's mom even told me the rest was hungry so they ate so much there was nothing left for me :(
The cruelty! I ha e to fight Primals on an empty stomache and they get to gorchthemselbes with drink and food?? Thats so unfair
Especially Estinien during Heavensward. If you talk to him between the MSQ quests ...his lines are the funniest ever. He made me laugh so much in HW - so I wasn't one of those surprised players who wondered why he "suddenly" has so much humor in EW ;-)
They need to do stuff like the lala only house for the least played races to entice people to play them. Like a Roegadyn only pirate cove hot spring where everyone is in their smallclothes and tell you manly secrets.
Honey, this gay behavior and i'm all for it
Manly... Secrets...?
THIS!
I was wondering how lalas can have their own area on tomra but not elezens on ishgard
and I don't even main elezens
I knew about the majority of these, but the Miqo'te one in drowned city of Skalla was completely new and I love it!
Oh! I do remember there is an NPC named Modest Mouse in the Peaks and yes he does use the phrase "Float on." I think there is also an Immodest Mouse too but I don't remember where he is. You can also sometimes encounter random retainers doing their tasks.
Immodest Mouse is in the Peaks! I don’t remember coming across Modest Mouse tho ….
Back at the launch of Heavensward, before the release of the Void Ark, you could actually see the gigantic Void Ark flying way off in the distance while in Sea of Clouds, too far away too fly to. This was a huge mystery at the time as it seemed too imposing and yet didn't seem to have any function.
I stumbled across one just yesterday, while questing in the Ruby Sea. Underwater at 8.6x39.2, there is a big freaking Moai head, that caught me off guard. It's not near anything relevant, and it just took me by complete surprise.
I ran into the same thing too!
FFV reference to an easter egg in that game
You can find one in each of the SB zones actually. Happy hunting ^_^
-a looooot of the archievments in game are references to games, music movies (the blu mage one is hilarious)
-Theres a main quest in arr or hw (the one where u have to get some wine) where a chef roegadyn looking like Don Corleone from the Godfather says he has an offer we can't refuse
The boss on floor 100 of Palace of the Dead is actually a character from the game Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together, as well as the music you hear during the fight with him.
Amazing list! Additional info: Bahamut minion fights with Luisoix minion if they face each other. Runar minion gives flower to Yshtola (shb minion) only.
Visiting certain grave after HW, you find that someone else visits there too. Also if you do The Paths We Walk starting in the Fortemps Manor, you'll find where Estinien took those flowers.
I noticed the other day his dialogue changed from 'it never gets easier' to 'he would be pleased that you still visit'. Anyone noticed this?
@@HenachokoFujoshi i think it changes based on how far you are removed in the story from that moment
@@TheToasterbox that would make sense.
@@HenachokoFujoshi Yea. I go there often just to talk to my "brother". I sit by the grave and talk about my adventures while waiting for dungeon queues.
@@michaelsc78 same, I like to tell him the latest adventures I've been up to lol.
2:00 a true Gentlemen of Light
I wish him safe travels on his return to relevancy
OMG i remember getting Siegfried in O5 and it was my first time running it ! I was so confused when he died in like 1 hit when i expecting to actually fight a ghost... I came back before all my other party members, and I was SO confused lmaoooo
with the train? just like in ff6?
you can also see the wrist gadget nero had in during crystal tower story, its in the rubble in the Syrcus Trench
Finally, I've been wanting more content like this. Like the world is so full and just the landscape hold secrets. Quality content and would like to see this expanded upon.
If you put on the Mammeteer title, then Wind-up minions will behave a lot more naturally than they would otherwise :)
Lmao that Edda edit midway the video. Great stuff zepla! I love these Easter eggs. I had no idea that Lalafel house had a second floor!
If you have the mammeteer title on you can feed living minions (ie. fat cat, bunny, dogs, red panda etc.) with the emote /handover. They also react differently if you pet them.
I love stuff like the Lalafell house and small FF refrences, more of them make the game feel so mysterious sometimes.
Easter eggs: when you're playing the game and the game plays with you.
What I like most are the funny titles of FATEs, which are also different in every language of the game. It also shows that the developers/translators really engage with their own game to find fitting captions for the fates.
Fashion Report is pretty cool too, often they aren’t just direct translations if they could make puns in the other languages.
not sure about French but I know the German translation is closer to the Japanese. Koji and his team are doing a little bit more.... freestyle :3
there's so many GoT references especially since HW was directly inspired by it, but my favorite part is when during the red mage questline you ask Arya if "a girl has a name" when you first meet her.
2:55
Those Hidden Namazu remember me those Hidden dolls from FF4 (Fatal Frame 4), that you need to find those hidden dolls and take a pic of them to earn special costumes in the game.
this is always good content, this tipe of details make it feel like a world where you can invest yourself in knowing all the little things.
I was just checking to see if you uploaded a video about 20 minutes ago. Good thing this came up on my notifications! lol
Just getting into FFXIV (really enjoying it so far!). And have really loved your videos :) Lots of great info, and i really appreciate your respect for spoilers - i'm loving the MSQ so far and spoilers would be terrible! (i had to stop video early haha)
I heard Eddas ghost stops spawning after you beat her in PoD though. So that might be why you cant spawn her
I heard that as well
i beat it and i saw her in gridania
I do remember doing a quest after beating floor 50 where you help a guy putting her spirit to finally rest.
There are so many fun interactions with the minions ! For example even the basic coeurl and wolf pup you get at the beginning will fight each other when they cross paths (the coeurl will also fight ennemies you aggro on the map, I think the pup does so too)
i found out about the minion one in a wedding and OMG I was dead it's too good 😂, we then used other minions as you did to test that was the coolest wedding I have been in the game 😂
Huh a place only Lalafells can go... Perfect! thanks to you we've found the perfect place to plot our takeover of Eorzia, away from the prying eyes of the tall races :P
I love these kinds of Easter eggs! I know some of these too but the others I didn't know! Thanks Zepla!
Shiva EX - after duty completion, a snowman appears outside the arena
Not sure if this is an easter egg or not but in Shirogane, sometimes, at the top of the jump puzzle lighthouse you will find a moogle-bird.
Was it during the little lady day event?
I don't remember there being an event
Very very cool, how you can do all this work while doing so much other work is beyond me. :D It's awesome that you do a video about Easter eggs in October. :D Keep up the great work. Ffxiv would not be the same without your videos.
a random retainer sometimes visits the timed gathering node for fragrant logs in the Shroud, they get a few logs, say something on their linkpearl, and walk off
retainers can show up in different parts of eorzea! i've only seen them in ARR zones and i haven't seen any for a while. they wear the standard retainer uniform. the first time i saw them one was trudging through the snow in coerthas, and the other time one was fishing near oschon's torch.
nice!
i'll add something too. you can see the void ark navigating the see of clouds sometimes.
also, slapping the shoebill minion is the only way to make it move when it's standing close to you. otherwise it'll just stand there watching...and watching...
until you move away that is 😂
1:66 i remember this turtle on FF V, Bartz play with him and he get mad, later he fights aganist Exdeath, helps the party about the stone tablets to get the legendary weapons, and more later he was caught by the void.
To expand on this, there are actually two lalafel only houses. One in Tomra and another in Komra.
Also not sure if this is considered hidden, but the bosses in Heroe's Gauntlet are all characters from older Final Fantasy games. The first boss is Locke from FFVI, the second is Lenna in the necromancer job from FFV, and the final boss is Guy from FFII. Additionally the shades summoned in the trial that followed that dungeon are the cast of FFIV. (maybe still not sure who the roegadyn warrior is supposed to be... maybe Cid?) The archer is Rosa, the summoner is Rydia, the lalafels are Palom and Porom, the ninja is Edge, and the dark knight is Cecil.
Easter egg in Doma Castle duty...the last boss starts off in cutscene saying "Adventurers...come out an plaaaayyy" or some such...nice Warriors reference. XD
I just started playing yesterday. I've been watching A lot of your stuff to see if I'd like it. It's clear people love this game. Thanks for showing me.
Cat and Dog minions you get in la noscea(couerl kitten and wolf pup) fights too.
Poking Star minion adjust its height(usefull for night crafting). Theres more minions reacting to emotes, but its hard to find.
YES! I love Zepla uploads, always entertaining. :D
Thank you!!! I've seen the fat cat before but I had no idea what triggered it.
I like the video format change, quality is very good.
To add to the pixie beast tribe area, there are also some hammocks in the far corner of the map that you can access (I think only when it's fully upgraded?). If you /doze in one of them, the two NPCs will appear there as well and chatter with one another before disappearing. I was doing some /gposing and looked up to see that they were there! It was a cute surprise
I highly appreciate this!😁😁😁😁
If you type hero and use auto translate there is an option to turn it in to "Hero on the half shell" and i am pretty certain TMNT had that line too.
There's a guildhest with that name which is why it appears in auto translate. Check them out, they all got fun pop culture names, (and you get some xp out of it)
I feel like this one might be known... Curious Gorge, the warrior training under the waterfall at Costa del Sol stops training when you get close
But if you get close while using (ninja), you can get close to him and watch him keep on hitting the water like a goof
Anyone know how the Pixie Fountain easter egg works? Like does a player have to have the AFK chair for X time and/or the wait resets when someone shows up? Because I've been sitting next to them in the fountain for almost an hour and they've not done anything :(
