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

[@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!

[@BirdsOfPlay]

The complete story of Heavenward is coming next Saturday!

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

[@MrRandomGuy1231]

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

[@BirdsOfPlay]

I'm trying to apply the same philosophy to raising my children.

[@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

[@BirdsOfPlay]

The Crystal Tower used to be optional but now it has become mandatory due to its significance later in the story. Also, glad you like what we do! We also have recaps for Heavensward and Stormblood with Shadowbringers and Endwalker on the way.

you sir are my savior. Thankyou

[@thelastyoutubers2697]

Such a good video. ^^

[@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!

[@sadist1k]

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!

[@metalmilitia89]

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

[@PetarBladeStrok]

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

[@lucasharris9696]

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.

[@ViktorExhumed]

You need to log in to The Mogsation webpage with a Square Enix account (sounds like you forgot your credentials, ask for a pass. reset?). After logging in you can manage/pay your subscription there.

[@GrimDarkHalfOff]

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

[@optimize0]

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

[@BirdsOfPlay]

That's the plan. But yeah, it will be difficult.

[@sur7969]

oh! its a Bird of Light!

[@BirdsOfPlay]

Love it 💕

[@sur7969]

@@BirdsOfPlay thanks for making this, when laid out like this, i can see the vision of the dev (the time crucnhed and overworked dev), unlike the world in the game itself, still dealing with aftermath of calamity that is the mess of 1.0. its a decent 'humble beginning' story, and doing it the first time it doesnt bother me since it's like every old jrpg i played before, and im used to that. playing it second time tho, it definitely shows its age, and how frustrating it is to be ping-ponged between fetch quest hahaha

[@emeros8631]

Ah yes. My perfect bed time story

[@brandonotto3031]

Or something like that 😊

[@RadicalBroom520]

Top 5 best teams in final fantasy?

[@nerdzomnia]

FIRST

[@booradley6832]

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.
