FFXIV: Shadowbringers - 5.5 MSQ part 3

Recording from back in May before the sudden move back to Aus!
Noticed some slight audio glitching in the recording retrieved (with some difficulty) from my old HDD, so apologies for any occasional sonic discomfort.
5.55 is finished and coming soon!

Arenvald uses himself as a human shield when he has an actual shield on his back.

[@ShaunMacdonaldTQ]

ive missed these so much! I learn a tonne from every Ethys playthrough and appreciate the game all the more

[@JohnDCrafton]

I noticed watching this video, the sword Zenos throws at Fandaniel appears to be Odenta Kai, a dark knight "katana" Not lore relevant, just amusing to me that the one katana he picks up happens to not be useable by samurai.

[@mattp994]

Well it was the biggest Katana available.

[@arturius9715]

Great to see you back Ethys o7...I was listening to Graham Hancock today read Fingerprints of the Gods...and listening to him reminded me of you're lore readings 😄

[@RothAnim]

I got unreasonably excited at the "Mercadian Restoration" mention from your chat. EHIL TOU DRAGON BUILDING SHENNANIGANS!!!!

[@zarthes]

"Where's the brotherhood of ash huh? Where they at?" Not canon apparently, which hurts me so, just think of their elation learning of the porxies to help their sullied Honor.

[@Sandberry]

What? How are they not canon?

[@zarthes]

@@Sandberry none of the beast tribes are, they are never acknowledged or mentioned in all the years we’ve had them if they were they’d have without a doubt shown up in the dungeon.

[@jaeusa160]

I am disappointed the Allied Beast Tribes didn't at least get a throwaway line.

[@shaderunner8220]

That can't be true. Didn't a member of the Ehcatl Nine from the Ixal beast tribes show up on Azyz La during MSQ?

[@zarthes]

@@shaderunner8220 they showed up for a side quest dungeon on Azys La which was more for lore confirming that azys la was their birthplace.

[@YYorle]

*spoilers I suppose* And suddenly I'm made aware of how many Scions are white-haired during the scene of Estinien joining. "Oh look, another white-hair in the group!" Guess it's almost a pre-requisite for joining! My Au'Ra is also white-haired! xD

[@Ariancia.Thystarian]

That's why I refuse to play a white-haired character. To be fair if I see to many characters that look like my character I feel a strong impulse to change them. It was really hard to find a character I could be happy with... I think I went through 50+ characters before I finally found the one XP

[@YYorle]

@@Ariancia.Thystarian Oh I definitely know that problem! xD

[@GoldenXShark22]

I can't wait for next part!

[@Wariyaka]

Najs!

[@rjjesse3939]

idk if its possible but if u compare the ending weapon scene with the opening weapon display scene u might be able to pick out the weapon.

[@phoenix221186]

My question is about endwalker Do you think vithra is one of the seven eggs that came with midgasmmr or is it the son of Bahamut and tiamat?

[@hannaschuyler8816]

Vrtra is bahamuts brood brother, so yes he is one of midgards eggs.

[@lorospact]

You KNOW Hoary Boulder's going to want to challenge Estinien to a spar, right?

[@yacket]

Wuaiiit a minute. Some of the trash mobs in The Burn have the same wings/color as Lunar Bahamut.

[@dawningmoment]

:)

[@VyeBrante]

I don't know why you shipping Estinien and Alphinaud makes me so giggly. Can't get enough!

[@DustyHams]

I am really enjoying this gay leaning attitude from Alphie! He has always admired other male characters but his friendship with Arenvald is clearly VERY deep and it comes off more then friends. I hope to see more. They are close in age and both want to help the world, it's giving me Wiccan and Hulkling vibes.
