Arriving to Rak'tika Greatwood | Grinding Gear Reacts to the Shadowbringers MSQ

[@cparle87]

The falling of Emet's expression at 25:05 when he hears Thancred's statement is pure gold. First he's smiling. Then he's scowling ever so slightly with a wonderful "really bro?" expression. Followed by an eyeroll and a big sigh.

[@AJ-ve4jh]

That moment when you enter Raktika and that Lahee resounds so vibrantly. It takes me back. This zone was one of the best parts of the expansion for me. There's so many hilarious interactions here, you're going to love it.

[@JamieBarrington]

I turned off my mount music and avoided all aggressive enemies, just so I could vibe to Lahee!

[@ongoingprocessfailed]

When the Exarch pulls out the envelope I had the meme of him pulling out the smash bros invite burned into my brain. I damn near heard the music too.

[@dakotadoyle7573]

always keep this in mind about Emet: He will never lie to you

[@MurakamiTenshi]

Emet-Selch, the Angel of Truth in Ivalice lore. He hasn't lied once throughout the game. Nice touch.

[@JamieBarrington]

I can't put into words how much I love Emet-Selch's character

[@specialnewb9821]

Emet rocketed up to the level of Kefka and Sephy in FF villain popularity polls after Shadowbringers. Now you can watch Soken's legendary La Hee performance

[@EternaltheGrey]

Emet-Selch is the Shang Tsung of FFXIV. He can say more with an eyebrow raise than most people can with an entire monologue.

[@wolfhorn9418]

Do you know La Hee?

[@pillarsofsnow7940]

I will play La Hee

[@christianf.5553]

[@JohnnyRaven69]

Hee La

[@Kekira]

*intense otomatone-ing*

[@noOtherFs]

I can't believe I did not think of it when I was playing through the story myself, but when Exarch showed the invitation letter, I can't help thinking about the Smash invitation letter meme

[@drinks1550]

Cant wait for Garrett and Kyle to do the instanced content at the very end of the region and their reaction to spoiler stuff >w>

[@RockR277]

If you're interested, its already up on their full streams channel.

[@nestrior7733]

My only probablem with Raktika is that you hear the LAHEE! about three times in 5 minutes, if not more often, while questing there. If it weren't for another Zone, I'd chill there flying on my mount without a question.

[@RockR277]

The reaction to "Lahee" never ceases to amuse me. I guess I must have my volume way lower than most people, cuz I never had the same reaction to it.

[@AshtonMonitor]

God it’s so nice seeing sassy Emet-Selch again!

[@Adu767]

The reason nobody calls the reflections "planets" is because saying something is another planet implies that it exists in physical space within the same universe, i.e. you could travel there via spaceship. This is NOT the case with reflections as they do not occupy space in the universe of the Source. They are different planes of existence.

[@orly4672]

And here you wonder, do the otherworldly beings like Midgardsormr and Omega have alternate versions in the Reflections. It's clear that they arrived only at the Source, hence why you don't see dragons in the First. Does each reflection exists in a small pocket dimension containing only the planet, or does it extend to the large expanse of stars, same with the Source and also housing their own reflections of those distant civilizations?

[@gateauxq4604]

@Orly it’s never really answered if there are other planets in the reflections’ universes so it’s a safe bet that if there was any dragon planet they would not have made contact with the shards. It’s possible that all the shards occupy a separate pocket dimension on top of where Etheris is and any extraplanetary life would not have been copied into the reflections.

[@KutluMizrak]

@@orly4672 midgardsormr implied that there was a planar distortion around etheirys that separated it from the rest of the universe. I think it's s localized phenomenon, contained to etheirys

[@meriwidget3474]

Kyle knowing who Loreena McKennit was is the highlight of the vid for me lol. Maybe that's why I loved LaHEE and it never once annoyed/surprised me.. I was vibing with it the whole time.

[@JordanKennedy]

I like the Warning in Eorzean :)

[@Lordoftheapes79]

Just wait until you can fly here. This zone is a unique experience from the air.

[@katarh]

Of all the potential pairings, Y'shtola / Exarch never crossed my mind, but I can dig it. The nice thing about XIV is that it intentionally keeps most NPC relationships one sided or unresolved, just in case you play the game more like a dating sim and want a character for yourself.

[@ahorseofcourse7283]

HOARY BOULDER WILL BE MINE

[@Trebolf]

Do you know... Lahee?

[@Lexxicon13]

turn... down..? no... you turn that UP! LAHEE

[@dafire9634]

finally, the LAHEE reaction, blessed day

[@drakelx]

At 7:19, I was so totally sure it was a Smash invitation during my playthrough 😂

[@clericneokun]

Lahee!

[@samziegelman1835]

La Hee!

[@adjwindu70]

13:54 ba dum tssh

[@qara_ch]

LA HEE!

[@Lily_Catt-]

Damn level 74? I've been at level 90 since Stormblood 😊

[@forestsavior]

This is great content, but you guys have ruined the Crystarium innkeeper for me. I'll never be able to unhear the Simpsons Squeaky-Voiced Teen voice whenever I take an alt through Shadowbringers. P.S. I had the same problem with that infernal tablet.

[@drinks1550]

Lahee! (First)

[@Ken_Mochi]

Lahee

[@BlackPeter79]

Khool, Khooo!!! How on earth Your chickens cannot fly yet?! Gross neglect and abuse of mount skills!
