FFXIV Lore: Tales from the Calamity - part 1 (with commentary)

The Tales from the Calamity were first published through Aug and Sept 2014 as part of the ARR 1 year anniversary event. Six years later we're looking back to retell the stories and discuss these events and characters in greater depth than ever before!

*HE LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVES!* Actually, he's been around for some time, but I'm happy that he's safe and sound, ESPECIALLY with all that's happened in his neck of the woods. That said, still eagerly awaiting the Return of Methys Masher, bane of Primals and Dragons, and Captain of the Immortal Flames!

Ooooh. An Audible series on these? Yes please. Also, that BGM is what I wanna listen to again.

[@throatpunchthursday1312]

Ethys Asher... Now that's a name I have not heard in a long time. Long time.

[@scientio3695]

this is ridiculous I just decided to get into final fantasy XIV lore and you happen to have just came out with this video is exactly what I was looking for spoiler-free lore because I'm a new player. loving the content best of luck man

[@Cirinwe]

Great idea for a video series. ARR lore is something I hope the game takes us back into one day - so many stories left for us to discover.

[@mzt8787]

This is the content I love. Thanks so much for this video!

[@YumiGoblin]

Man, there's so much more to Merlwyb than people give her credit for. It's good to see you rolling out new content again

[@Alizardwithdaftideas]

Story time and lore knowledge from Ethys. Today is a good day.

[@hydrakn]

This was great, there is so much still to discover in Eorzea, the Source, hell all shards. Hands down my favorite XIV content comes from you. Appreciate every upload.

[@Shizukanexen]

I get so ridiculously happy anytime I see you put something new up on YT. I'm really excited that you'll read these to us. This is fantastic as always. I really loved going back over this with your insight.

[@sharudawolf]

Nice too see you back again man!

[@YYorle]

Love discovering all of this despite playing FFXIV for 5 years now. Thanks for the vids and keep them up! :d

[@lyconxero457]

I’ve missed lore videos like this so much! This seems like a more streamlined form of your previous lore videos which I like very much. Having never played 1.0, it’s especially cool to see footage from it for reference. It’s crazy to think that in some ways it was a more attractive game than ARR.

[@deathiswelcome2004]

Yay! Ethys is back. Granted I'm late because for some reason yt didn't send me the notification until today. But still made for a good day.

[@cheerskiwi]

Great listen! FFXIV needs much more of this kind of lore deep-dive from fans. Couple of points as a blind listener; I would highly recommend spoiler tags somewhere within the video. Also, talking slower would make for a more pleasant listen. In some parts it feels like you are hurrying through which makes it difficult to follow. I listened on 0.75 speed and it was perfect. Overall I really enjoyed it! Thanks a lot, I hope to listen to many more.

[@TheOneGreat]

That was informative. Can't wait for more. ^^

[@80sToyBoy]

Great stuff, glad to have it pop up on my feed!

[@LupusArcavius]
