I'm glad to see you're uploading again, and in general I hope you're doing much better. I've missed watching your videos and streams, and I hope things keep up for you

[@jaeusa160]

It's really cool seeing that contrast from the ARR cinematic in particular, from Cartaneau to the start of this. Back then, we're fighting off Garleans as doom encroaches on the world, with a temporary alliance in Eorzea which would crumble soon after. Now we're fighting off the doom of the world, with the Garleans at our side, with a larger more permanent alliance of Eorzea and beyond.

[@foob420]

So badass to see the WoL lead Garlean troops into battle, I've wanted something like this since ARR lmao

[@shinon748]

Ethys uploading again! Can't wait to listen to our favorite Aussie lore master.

[@mr.jeorgexiii1732]

Do not get tired of Golbez's theme rendition for this trailer! Gets me so excited for all the FFIV Easter eggs to come

[@TheShadowfan9000]

which one is Golbez's theme?

[@mr.jeorgexiii1732]

@@TheShadowfan9000 the first song that appears in the benchmark. You can compare it to "Clad in Darkness" which is Golbez's theme

[@TheShadowfan9000]

@@mr.jeorgexiii1732 ooooh, I do hear it now neat :D

[@cailee9820]

I can't believe I've been playing since Stormblood and only today realized that if you create a character, you can see it in the benchmark.

[@chishioengi]

Ethys, I have no idea whether you will ever see this or if you still play XIV, but since I don't have social media this is the only shot I have at communicating with you. I would like to formally (and very gratefully, for all your other work so far) request that you do the Reaper job quests at some point in the future. Your style of reading dialogue and commentary on the storylines is just wonderful! If you don't play anymore, well, that's that. Either way thank you very much for all your videos (especially since they're all ad-free which to me just feels so kind to your viewers). I wish you all the best.

[@suparicky8889]

Love all ur work man good job

[@Zulmofo]

He is back 🙌

[@anydaynow01]

Man it's time for me to upgrade my rig, this benchmark was the first one it didn't get extremely high on. I'm glad you were able to get your hands on a 3070 to play in style!

[@baronvonboomboom4349]

I love your videos, I love digging into some lore. Any plans for some grand company/alliance lore?

[@lumaj1147]

Nice to see you're following your Code of Ethys ;)

[@usamimi-no-majo]

I recently(and quite randomly) learned that Vritra is a serpent/dragon/demon in Hinduism. He's a personification of drought and the name literally means "enveloper". So maybe the spin here is that Thavnair, a relatively hot and dry region is "enveloped" in Vritra's protection?

[@tazersmurf4689]

Woo, duskbunn. I too need the new minions.

[@PetarBladeStrok]

Yes! Been waiting for this! Have you watched the full version of the Endwalker trailer? I'd love to see the reaction to that. BTW, I get chills when Golbez's theme starts playing in the beginning of the benchmark.

[@ZephWraen]

Yeah, he's seen it. You can find it on Happy's channel cause they Podcasted during that livestream

[@maceofbass9295]

The Sharlayan guitar version of the Endwalker theme deeefinitely has major Lestallum vibes from FFXV; I love it.

[@mohammedali8574]

Dude I can't wait for next SoTR lore show.And erosivia as well dude. Thanks for uploading story content I watched all MSQ and boxja VA was amazing

[@TheShadowfan9000]

THANK YOU, everyone complained about the slouch but I think it's actually.... unique and distinct for them lmao.

[@SuikodenGR]

Man...its been awhile I heard from you. Welcome back 😄

[@acgearsandarms1343]

Are you planning to do the MSQ as Paladin or a mix of different jobs?

[@EdgelessTitan]

What shield was Ethys bunny using?

[@Andy_val]

To be fair, I don't think they're Populares - chances seem more likely they're pockets of Garlean conscripts who weren't caught up by the brain towers and are just surviving as things go to shit. If they know about WoL there's every chance they'd side with him there and then :)

[@markup6394]

I just noticed, that big purple mountain crystal thing looks vaguely like the shape of Vrytra's head (or how ever you spell her name...). I tried to make a viera that looked like an adult, not a j-pop teen star. It didnt quite work out as well as I had hoped but I think you did a real decent job here :)

[@Reycied]

Nupinpoop296 With the deep cut Miette reference in chat. That made me happy.

[@DameBlackwell]

Hey ethys can you post your pc specs somewhere? I'd really like to get an upgrade to mine and want to use yours as a base

[@redcloud16]

You're like the ONLY person I've seen comment on Omega. When I saw it i was like WHAT?! And everyone elses reactions never even glanced at it lol; but im over here like 'is no one else freaking out about this?" Yea I get it its the benchmark, that situation isn't canon and all that, but the MODEL of super omega or w/e exists and there's animations of it firing and im like WHY IS THIS HERE?! Whats all this about? Very intriguing.

[@haleynaga5671]

i just to play decently on ff, but can i really achive that with budget around $1000 or less? maybe 100 or 200

[@tometeles7192]

Was really a good idea to have Lise become Ala Mhigo??

[@GodammmitKalcour]

Not a fan of that Combo for Viera face/Facial hair, but you make it work.

[@MegaKaims]

Can we expect Ask Ethys video any time soon? Really miss those

[@EthysAsher]

absolutely! As soon as I'm out of lockdown and allowed back into the office with my nice filming setup!

[@ziegfeld4131]

@@EthysAsher and instead you ran and dipped on your fans to go shill an NFT scam shame

[@mikezacek7495]

The Empire never went after Thavnair because they still wanted a way to trade for Eorzean shit.

[@maxspecs]

Jeez, 15k points…my 7 year old gaming laptop barely broke 4k.

[@BenWillock]

So what's the relationship between Terminus beasts and Voidsent? A lot of these monsters look very Voidsent-y

[@DeusGamez]

Voidsent are the people of the thirteenth shard who were corrupted by umbral aspected dark aether an transformed into "voidsent" where as the "Terminus" beasts they were created by the ancient people's magicks as a direct response to fear caused by a mysterious sound coming from within the planet. think of the terminus creatures as actual nightmares made flesh and voidsent are people twisted an malformed by darkness invading their bodies

[@jordanstafford5110]

Extremely High! Lol

[@MisteRRYouTuby]

…I’d rather see Methys Masher, bane of Primals and Dragons, and Captain of the Immortal Flames.

[@writer747]

Yeah, I'm really glad we haven't gotten anything on the level of Emet making giving out the Primal spoiler from the ShB gameplay trailer yet. We haven't gotten an in-game trailer yet, so it's still possible, but I'd prefer it if they didn't spoil us b4 the game comes out.
