RIP!

I thought cat boys and Reddit Lords were best friends.

This shit was peak. PEAK. I miss Gaius so much.

Don't mind me...just coming back to enjoy the greatest expansion, the greatest villain, and to wash out the worst of the garbage voice work that was in Dawntrail...

Literal chad meeting.

still not over the fact they decided to make gaius really beautiful. bro wore that helmet to nerf himself. still think livia is insane, though.

Deadass the greatest villain ever in Final Fantasy.

This is the ultimate reward for playing through Shb as a Pictomancer. Alphinaud claiming to be a painter while you stand behind him with the brush and palette to make him eat his words XD

They literally couldn't have found a better voice actor to play him. Perfection.

Sometimes I forget that Vauthry is a little bitch.

Emet-Selch: Nar, i'd win

my only issue with ShB was that our responses to him are only every confusion of confrontational/dismissive. i would have LOVED the option to be like "hey Emet, grab a chair, i'll some drinks, lets have a long chat" and not even about important shit like "so whats your plan? whats the goal? is there any common ground we can have?" and more "so, whats your fav food and drink? do you have hobbies? other than the destruction of worlds obviously" etc. get to know the guy. would have helped a lot later i am sure.

This looks like the twin brother to Reaper but faster ....

Damn I was waiting for the gun shot 😢 from emet selch it was so good.

Really hope its not a fixed rotation. Too many ff classes have a single correct way to play which is just hit the same list of buttons in the same order til boss dead. Hoping either Picto or Viper are the "easy to pick up, hard to master" that the games been lacking for several expansions now for dps.

Lineage 2 comes to mind

LALA VIPER TO BE FEARED!!!!

my new main viper (i hope) can't wait to try it out, kinda looks like continuation + dancer....FUCKING SUPER HYPED NOW....i want this today XD

I'm probably the only one that feels this way, but I wish the writers had gone in on trying to make Vauthry a more nuanced villain. I get his whole deal is that he is "innocent" in that he was raised from birth to believe he can do whatever he wants, but there's a lot of potential for a tragic villain there given he was created from birth to be a monster that has to die in order for Norvrandt to regain normalcy. And by the time we learn that, not only is he already dead but the story is already shifting gears to focus on Emet-Selch. I don't think Vauthry needed to be quite AS complex as Emet-Selch, since he's ultimately a minor villain, but it would've been nice if there was more to him than just "I'm evil because my dad told me to be."

The single most chilling bit of his entrance is knowing he could have just killed everyone without breaking a sweat, and didn't. He chose to let us live.

14:56 Holy shit... Zeno was actually right...

Your WoL kinda hot

Emet-Selch did nothing wrong.

Varis looks like he has botox filled in all the wrong places.

He's like 10K+ years old has skills on top of skills and creation magic a near unlimited AEther pool and yet two bunny girls tracked him down... yea I'm judging him

Greatest Sorcerer of Elf, capable of literally crafting gods out of his mind, founder of countless empires with tens of thousands of years of experience and expertise. Chooses a _sixty years old Retro model of a gun crafted in his most recent empire to deliver the most drama-queen entrance possible_

Every warrior of light looking at the fat man this future Mount dispenser sure is mouthy

Years later this after Endwalker, this scene has a whole new meaning.

Me, seeing the title as I scroll: "Emet- no Emet thats public indecency! Emet stop!"

I liked being a lalafell for these scenes because it felt like he was REALLY looking down on me in particular

✨✨cooperation :3 ✨✨

ff players are so obsessed with dressing so cringe. if it isnt half naked men, its young girls in underwear

One of the things I found great about Emet-Selch is that from the moment he walks up to you, you're not sure if he's pulling your leg or not. After all, your only experience with the Ascians up to now has been one of hostility and them wanting to destroy you. And that kept nagging at the back of my head the entire time he was with us, even after he saved Y'shtola. "Is this a long con?" "Is this a mastermind of deception at work?" "Are his laments truly just that: Laments?" Then you learn that he truly wanted you to be 'worthy'. That all his interactions were genuine. That he spoke from the heart. That his grief was real. He was already a fantastic character before that was made clear. Post-realization he's THE best character in the entire game.

It took me 3 minutes to realize the Roe wasn't a Crystarium NPC.

I love how caveman your characters face is

"I know he's playing me, but for the life of me I don't know how."

"Indeed, it is enough to make me think better of confronting you alone" ... Dude could easily wipe out everyone cept the MC. The deception he brings is maddening.

I think my favorite part about his offer to retrieve Y'shtola is the knowledge that, after our time in Elpis, he wasn't doing that JUST as an effort to gain trust but more because that's just... how he is. He's grumpy and sarcastic and will bitch about doing it, but he practically can't help himself when it comes to helping others. It's in his very nature. He is, despite everything he tries to be, a softhearted optimist when you really get down to it.

backstage = kzbin.info/www/bejne/hWOXi5VmfLx9i5I XDD

such a good story. i miss shadowbringers. i started playing 2 weeks before endwalker released

I have been thinking about the line read for "Happy to let me go, are youuuUUUUUU" for almost four years now. Perfect.

it's criminal that the final scene (where they actually fight) went unvoiced.

The Exarchs speech here means so much more once you have the context to see he's not talking about the Crystarium when he talks about people who would labor and toil for generations on the mere chance of a better future.

His voice actor was amazing tho. Like, wow.

Nobody dies in this game

Emet was just the best villain ff14 has ever personally I don't think there will ever be a villain as amazing as emet in ff14 ever again he was just so well written

Goddamnmitt now I have to new game plus

8:18 "aha, ahahaha... almost killed myself again! my bad!"
