OH god I just aged. Can't believe it's the End of Endwalker already ._.

[@techpriestemily]

Right? Dawn trail is launching in EA in like a month... way too fecking fast, yoshipls

[@TheBADProductions]

@@techpriestemily 1. it's in 3 months, hardly 'like a month' 2. were endwalker as long as stormblood was, we'd already have been in dawntrail for the last three months

@@TheBADProductions EA is in April, no? That's next month.

How the hell is Endwalker turning three years old this year? Time truly flies by.

[@myourenhijiri5730]

Time does flies when you're having fun 😂

[@Axtr_07]

It feels like yesterday when the servers for ffxiv were full 24 hours lol

[@VashimuXIV]

@@Axtr_07 I almost miss those days when I was but a humble sprout starting in 6.1. But the future really has never looked brighter

[@yinyang452]

@@Axtr_07Might happen again! Destiny 2 might be having an exodus of players due to the lackluster content, the drip feed of what little there is, and FFXIV finally coming to Xbox!

[@TemLightKiBlade]

@@VashimuXIVthe endwalker experience has been the weirdest time. From coming down with covid day one so the msq was a fugue state of locked in my room to the ups and downs of pvp actually being decent, burnt out on not being a savage or ultimate raider so content is to brain dead, hildbrand being in new brilliant form but relic being the worst ever. And now I’m in a new stage of my life moved out with a girlfriend I didn’t even have at launch. These three years have been something and I’m rambling lol. Glad at least content like this is a constant.

[@kingnewgameplus6483]

Honestly I thought the pandaemonium bit was also gonna end with "Am I depressed?"

[@jamariscollie1045]

More like it would have been "I'm DEFINITELY depressed."

[@miraihibino1277]

Drak just hasn't reached the "acceptance" stage yet XD

[@DashFennec]

"how extensive is the wall damage?" well walls in fights are usually instant ki-ooohhh his drywall

[@CrUiZ3RFG]

😅p000😅😅⁰😅

[@Mocita]

"Drak has 3 kids. I blame him for being premature." FUCKING SHOTS *FIRED!*

[@twilightfire93]

Soon to be 4! Yuni and him are finally having a boy lol

[@Blitzwaffen]

Of course shots were fired. You don't get four kids without taking a few shots to begin with.

[@vfaulkon]

Too early!

[@Adrienne_Quelle]

The Zenos bits at the end of 6.0 are going to be so, SO hard to top for me. And I don't think I've ever popped off harder than the "That, I can't deny." moment. I got turned around from being very tired of him to enjoying the fuck out of him this expac. That fuckin grin. YES.

[@Dreadnought_XIII]

i find it fascinating how many people seem to like it, I'm just glad hes finally gone

[@WhiteW01f]

@@Dreadnought_XIII I'm still confused why people even like him. By the end, I was so fucking tired of him showing up. He honestly didn't deserve that fight against us, we should have just left him festering for eternity in that liminal space, never getting what he wanted. It's not that I saw him as a bad character. To me, I felt like my character was just tired of him popping up and basically screaming "FIGHT ME" every time something big was happening that he shouldn't have been involved in. Also he looked like he hadn't washed his hair for 15 years.

[@Claptrapofdoom]

“FINALLY, ACCEPTANCE!”

[@hazavair5755]

It would have been better if there was any other option to say.

[@iveybullard8988]

“Bro am i depressed” i felt that hahahaha

[@ryutheslayer123]

Best of Nest already? Man, the years are going frighteningly fast

[@tyswendson754]

You know we're in the homestretch between expansions when Drak breaks out the "Best Of" videos 😁 I can't wait for this series

[@omegazero5884]

Hey Drak. Just wanted to say something from an avid fan since I got to Endwalker myself. Your content by yourself or with the rest of Nest is some of the best content when it comes to this game. From your run through the normal tier, to savage, and even your more discussion based stuff has always been entertaining. Even when I started savage raiding having a static like NEST was something I strived for and I have. Hope Dawntrail goes amazing not only for you but for the rest of NEST.

[@twilightfire93]

The entire intro is a whole damn mood and then some. I hope that drink was good! As always, love these big compilations! You are an amazing raid lead and I commend you for wrangling the rest of NEST. Here's to our summer vacay in DT!

[@commander_swift3765]

Spofie Die Mechanic is one of my absolute favourites, its so fucking good

[@arachineatzeer7478]

The gnome sound version is the best though

[@commander_swift3765]

@@arachineatzeer7478 it really is, making me so excited for Best of Woops/Spofie

"AM I DEPRESSED" 😂 Me too bestie! Me too!

[@EvenLessConspicuousHandle]

When you started an ad break with "hey guys therapy can cost so much....." i was so scared you got suckered into a Better Help sponsor deal even though they are really scummy. I LOLed though, best patreon ad ever.

[@acehealer4212]

34:07 Love Scribble's laughter over Drak's “humble” title suggestions.

[@ScribbleLiz]

You can tell when I have full control of an edit, cuz I'm a little sh*t about it. XD

[@Harrowing999]

She has such an iconic laugh and it’s always funny to hear. Personal favorite is still Darien not dodging Sweep the Leg

@@Harrowing999 That was funny! With, like, the laughing lizard edit, right?

It's surprising how The Twist was that the True Villain was Twitter the whole time.

[@christophergeorge7265]

Ya know, i don’t if it’s just me. But woops and choco’s characters i feel like could pass as siblings.

[@siralden5112]

Hi, Drak. It's ya ole pal here. I just started the video and I wanted to say I really like that hat on you. It looks really good. That's all. Hope you're doing well!

[@Joshua_Holsey]

1:04:30 is easily one of my favorite moments of greed immediately followed by regret. That solar flare moment shall live on in infamy.

[@AzureDrive]

You can't do this to me Drak. That opening made me tear up thinking about Endwalker moments.

[@Lorekeeper72]

Well that opening about summed up my experience with Endwalker. The bit about Pandamoneum though, that I remember watching in real time as the raid tier progressed.

[@madinalley1666]

This was such a refreshing walk down memory lane, story-wise and laugh-wise. I always love Drak 'Best Of' season!

[@TheMNWolf]

"Why did you hit me in the face with your balls?" was on my out-of-context quotes of the day list and I legitimately couldn't remember where it came from ROFL.

[@linus11vf1j]

Watching Keaton's descent into gremlin madness is peak character development!

[@Bayleaf6399]

"Loud Noise Warning" *Takes off headphones and still hears clearly* xD Thanks for the warning

[@lanteanboy]

oh wow.... I accidentally entered youtube's clip mode at the best time and looped the "Three deaths. Ha.Ha.Ha." scene 3 times in a row

[@NarwhalPrime]

This is a welcome sight during FFXIV's content lull! Gonna chill later and reminisce the many hilarious raid moments. Looking forward to the rest of the Best-ofs!

[@MyVanir]

I forgot how much I resonated with Jesse for the "Let us out!" at the end of 12.

[@choutaph]

I appreciate these long ones, helps keep the thoughts away while farming stuff

[@retiredscholar]

fuck yeah dude lets go its finally time

[@moondoggie1987]

At least you saved the markers before the disconnect. Little wins lol.

[@zherato6741]

As a Phil i can feel his pain deeply in my bones.

[@DBurner9]

Give me solo Zenos Extreme!

[@Demonboy007]

To this day, I'm still irritated they cut FFT's final boss theme in half for P12S.

[@KonDragon008]

I'm running UCoB with my FC, so now I totally get the Twisters part. Our first pull, we died less than a minute in and then our boss eventually had to assign spots before another pull so that we wouldn't accidentally run into each other. XD We've gotten to Nael (only one session so far) and then wipe shortly after, but it's been a lot of fun so far.

[@logariffic4433]

Best ofs are coming out baby! Best time of the expac

[@asmariamoon]

2:27:38 Drak scaring the living daylights out of his cat.

[@rifleman2c997]

"You and your adventurers, you killed them. My comrades. My friends." Me: Do you know how little that narrows it down?

[@TheKarishi]

How could anyone forget food with Kokytos? He even starts the fight reminding you: "Eat, fight...Eat, fight..."

[@tatlxtael2303]

I forgot h ow funny it was that Drak managed to LB twice during Ifrit in UWU

[@lavaracer1]

Got my way through the main part of EW a couple weeks back. I was lucky enough to time the final blow of the final fight cutscene to the end of the song. Was the most powerful moment I've had in a game. The final "Forge ahead" as the blows land

[@blazesona12]

@7:09 drak got blue balled from the cutscent..... Also woundering what was your reaction to learning the person who hydaelyn is, or did you even connect the dots before the fight even began? Cause mine was like hello again old friend... guess we can finaly have that match we talked about all that time ago till all are one

[@inupuppy22]

YEAHH I LOVE THE BEST OFS i cant wait to see the others if your doing them! but please remember to rest while you can!

[@celestial_estelle6766]

watching P4s gave me flashbacks of when my group ran it, and we mixed up the colors of tethers later in the fight

hell yeah, best part of the Expansion Lifecycle is here. IT'S BEST OF NEST O' CLOCK!!

[@WheyanQuix]

Drak drops his best of endwalker on the SAME DAY that dawntrail preordering starts! Good day!

So Drak, how does it feel to become what you hated in Stormblood? How does it feel to be Seabass with the rescues?
