thank you so much for this video...i recently got back into ffxiv, and the story is rough to follow with just semi voiced cut scenes, and as someone with reading disablities, this is godsend.

[JonathonSantiago]

Where...in the hell...have you guys BEEN?

We were worried you weren't going to carry on! 😊

In all seriousness, I'm so happy to see you guys are getting back to it with this series.

You easily have the best recap for FFXIV.

Thanks for the fine work! Cheers!

ARR allowed me to appreciate the Scions in later expansion. You can see their growth

[asterjaden]

Given the Lore behind who our WOL/Adventurer really is, it feels in Canon that your WOL trolls everyone in a bird suit.

[InnocentMage]

Good stuff
I dont remember you talking about the massacre of the scions at the waking sands tho. That was a heavy hitting part for me when i went trough 2.0 the first time
Love your voice and your summaries. The bird suit was a nice touch tho. A real warrior of F-Light

[oliverdevega]

Thamnk you so much for this amazing recap!! I'm so happy to have found your channel. Is the crystal tower new content added to ARR? I can't remember having played it :o

[sadistk]

Just getting into FF14 and I felt lost in the storyline. You really summed it up well for me, can't wait for your recaps of the expansions!

[metalmilitia]

Came back to FF14 after a two year break so I’m excited to see this.

[WinchesterxNL]

Seriously great video!
Though one mention on the pronunciation of Coerthas.
You'd pronounce the OE the same way as you'd pronounce the Keurig brand.
Pretty much pronouncing it as Keur Thas.

Much love! Looking forward to the rest!

[MrsHighwind]

I wouldn’t recommend people rush ARR, but just to stick with it and know that it gets better.

[PetarBladeStrok]

Oh damn! I'm ready to savour this meal!

[lucasharris]

I’m excited to watch this, I really only played this Final Fantasy for about a month or 2, back on PS3, since then I haven’t been able to play cause I can’t seem to log on again. I’ve tried on PS4 multiple times, but it always seems to send me to the Square page that just doesn’t seem to work for me.

[ExiaBlade]

He's not the Warrior of Light, he's a giant chicken! (Chicken Bu joke😅)

[GrimDarkHalfOff]

OK good so I wasn't an idiot I just didn't know what happened in patch 2.5

[optimize]

I would be impressed if you could pull this off with FF11.

[saintgeezus]

Could you kindly add subtitles please.

[cppoppin]

ARR is awful to play so i skipped it. This video was great. Glad to know theres some story mixed in with all the bs

[booradley]

Where's the part of the story where anytime anyone is discussing world of warcraft FFXIV players have to interrupt angrily and try to spin a weird victimhood narrative that doesnt make any sense?

I assume its a cannon thing since 90% of the player base does it?

Edit: Before "that's just your opinion, nobody does that." Nerdslayer, who is a long time backer of both games, calls it out in his own video as well.
