FFXIV ARR: Patch 2.4 Main Story Overview

[@Sacrengard]

Hey Mr Happy, I see you haven't continued these series. They were good, keeping up to date for players coming back and doing a recap of the story to remember what is going on

[@thomasp6208]

I totally agree. I quit the game at the beginning of heavensward 4 years ago and your videos are a blessing right now

[@Lizardhead91]

I agree. I came here because I am forgetful af and don't want to make an alt. I am sad he did not keep it going into HW.

[@jmlitefant7556]

Thanks for making these, I was so far behind in the story, it really helped me truck along so I didn't get left behind in the story again!

[@michaelhungerford7601]

" I believe it's called, the REJOINING". Such a subtle side note at the end of your video Happy.

[@ThePokemonmovie13]

I have the strange feeling that Heavenward is just basicly going to be us fighting both the leader of the dragons and isgardians so that they become part of the alliance which will lead into 4.0 which will be the empire again.

[@patchworkmusic]

I feel like these questions are, for the most part, related, and the only way we can get "closure" before 3.0 is if there's a big reveal about how they're all connected. With that in mind, looking at where the main story has been heading, knowing that we'll be going to Ishgard, we just need to connect all the pieces towards a common solution. Easier said than done, but I'm already trying to wrap my head around solutions! Good video!

[@barutimadu434]

With all this makes me wanna make a flow chart or something to show all the lose ends. And ya. It was the rejoining. The students were researching (ironicly) immortality aka the way the ascians continue life. A way to capture a soul or the essence into something and keel it from joining the lifesteam so the same person comes back instead of reincarnated. (Using the most blunt terms possible)

[@AleldaGamingandMedia]

Hey, can you keep doing this series? Im really sad and let down that there isnt more ;-; its the most detailed recap of the ms that ive found on youtube and you didnt even finish a realm awoken :'( please please please keep making these, endwalker coming out is a great excuse to keeo doing story recap

[@lunazephyr5560]

Thank you for this video! Even though I'm currently unsubscribed, I do plan on making a return eventually, and videos like this allows me to keep tabs on whats happening with the awesome story that I'm missing. Sad to see Nanamo looking to step down. D: She's a badass leader in my opinion, and I hope that even though she's stepping down her character will remain active in some capacity. Her chat with the other leaders though made it sound like after she steps down she's gonna drop off the face of the planet.

[@ForestFairy]

Lol happy called out Stormblood...

[@Strider-Ragnarok]

Loved the concept of Shiva's summoning and that Elezen looked very cool, which makes me wish Summoners could do the same. Also, the dragon that the Dravanian is trying to resurrect isn't the dragon that was protecting the river where all primals where sealed?

[@DSTkunn]

Me and a few FC mates believe that Iceheart has seen something through the use of the echo that reveals a secret about the Keeper of the Lake and the Dravanians. I believe that will tie in heavily in 3.0 Another belief I have is after seeing how Iceheart had used herself as a primal vessel, I think at some point we may become an avatar for a primal ourselves. My FC leader believes the other primals are also summoned through use of an avatar and that they are housed somewhere within.

[@smokyjo5245]

Idk about the avatar part. We don't get to see it from Ramuh or Garuda, but we watch Ifrit and Titan form without any bodies getting absorbed in the process. On the other hand, when Leviathan is summoned, we do see a sahagin get absorbed, but not before Leviathan already had a physical form. That's part of why Iceheart/Shiva is a mystery because she's the only known example of joining a primal AND retaining free will afterwards.

[@DSTkunn]

Gamewiz W The difference with Iceheart was more that she assumed a primal form through the summoning ritual. I don't believe it was a joining as, like King Moggle Mog XII, Saint Shiva was not a primal. The essence of what is a primal so far is up to debate. But for argument's sake, let us assume a primal can be anyone that has gained followers and said followers have the crystals and knowledge of the summoning ritual. As far as what has been gathered, we can use purely crystals or make use of crystals and a vessel. My theory is that using a vessel can extend the use of primal powers. I also theorize that if the vessel has access to the Echo (which seems like Hydaelyn's protection against temperance) you can retain your will in primal form. Which is why I believe at some point we may act as an avatar for a primal or perhaps the ascians mean to use us as a vessel for Zodiark.

[@emilcorotan]

Hi Mr. Happy Not really a huge thing, but could you add this video to your Lore playlist? I don't think it's in there yet. Just for convenience.

[@ZackTheDad]

13:24 heads up from the future they will and it sucks lol

[@Gafweebo]

Confirmed, I'm halfway through 2.4 and I've never been saltier.

[@sider0130]

Wait... Shiva banged a dragon???? WOAH!!!!!

[@PeninatorSS]

This aged well

[@Nezzen-]

@@PeninatorSS what happened

[@numbertoxy]

Finally caught up in the story, holy shit is it interesting.

[@haenakim8969]

I wonder if the "ending" of the 2.0 storyline will be the resurrection of Midgardsormr.

[@sociallyawkwardgamergeek5612]

Ice heart mentioned or apologized to her mother after the fight and given that Saint Shiva "lay with a dragon" and the dragons inherent longevity do you think that she was able to be Shiva's vessel because Shiva may have been her mother? Unless I missed something in Ice hearts lore then never mind. Plus since they mentioned the Keeper do you think one of the new dungeons will be the airship midgardsomr is wrapped around?

[@RNLee]

Not gonna lie, that lalafell looks like a mini Happy. Its just missing glasses. And more facial hair. But sideburns will do.

[@carpetlayenful]

Great video. I was wondering where is Alphinaud's sister? They went different ways and she disappeared of the planet.

[@Mrhappy1227]

She has been investigating the Coils of Bahamut in an attempt to discover the truth about the Calamity.

[@XellDincht]

is the main story worth to pay for this game?

[@VTeixex]

Dravania is part of Eorzea

[@ShadowReubenKee]

I'm looking forward to slaying the hell out of Hydaelynn in Heavensward.
