FFXIV Lore: Tales from the Calamity - part 2 (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!

I absolutely LOVE the layout you've chosen for these as well as the editing. Honestly, they'd be worth watching for your dulcet tones alone.

[@EthysAsher]

Thank you!

[@sailent7756]

Fully agree. What a narrator!

[@GrandCatapult]

I, for one, still suspect ascian involvement in the murder of Niellefresne. Warburton knew too much.

[@deathiswelcome2004]

I love it when you do these videos. Even if I can't watch them it's awesome listening material for the drive to work or doing chores. Your voice is also great for when lifes moving to fast, it always seems to calm me down and remind me to just stop for a moment.

[@anthonyguinn526]

I know this has been out for a while but wanted to say thank you. I started playing again after stopping for a while. so doing the same quests over again in arr was boreing. After listening to some of your videos and hearing the excitement and passion you put in while making the stories sound so amazing, i slowed down started enjoying the story and it has been the greatest thing ever. Sorry for long comment, just wanted to thank you for all your hard work :) have a good one

[@bloodlusthunter382]

That moment when you just think you are pretty familiar with the lore this game can keep surprising you. I really love this game and cannot wait for 5.3 and to get both volumes of the encyclopedia, I just need more of this lore in my veins! Thanks a lot for these videos Ethys

[@galephantom7902]

Looks like the 2020 Rising will have a focus on the sultana seven

[@firesoy]

Pipin's story arc in Stormblood was exceptional.

[@sailent7756]

You have such an amazing voice for these kinds of videos! Also, the sheer amount of details and lore you unearth is staggering. Thank you for doing these.i just recently subbed to your channel and I cant wait to dive into all of your lore videos!!!

[@qamarqammar7629]

Well told! And the additional detail afterwards was wonderful.

[@SynAsynja]

Kriegstanz and Totentanz mean "war dance" and "death dance" respectively if anyone's curious.

[@Alizardwithdaftideas]

These videos are so good man. A treat every time.

[@snaffu1]

I am a simple Flame Captain. I see my Sultana, I upvote.

[@timmikazai]

Love these Ethys! Thank you so much for taking the time to post these!! Love your commentary !!!

[@TheSeekingIsOver]

I have started a KZbin playlist with your Tales from the Calamity in hopes that you will continue these even through Tales from the Shadows... so you better keep making these videos!! Seriously, awesome work and I'm looking forward to more of your readings!

[@DameBlackwell]

This is giving me chills lmao. I'm almost crying

[@fredy2041]

So interesting to find out that Lorolito is actualy a "good guy" on a sence. Yea he is greedy and cold, but he is not stupid and he always thinks on the long term. What we, as players, thought that was Nanamo's most antagonist in terms of power in Uldah, turn out to be one of his most valuable advisors.

[@CunnyMuncher]

The royalty being changed doesn't affect him as a merchant king, but a nation torn asunder from coup would affect his living conditions as one. He still has his best interests in mind, but he knows the Sultana is the best for his financial growth and stability.

[@liambaker2011]

Ah...the huge amount of nostalgia I’m getting from the music :D

[@EthysAsher]

Sultana Dreaming is still one of my favourite bgm tracks

[@knifewieldingwomen]

I was doing this year's Rising Event while watching this video.

[@SophieCa]

Your lore videos are my oxygen

[@RyldsGirl]

I love this series so much! ❤️

[@azureflame1122]

did ethys just say a roe and a lala got together? oh jesus....

[@cailee9820]

Yeah, just the... mechanics... of that are .... concerning.

[@ivory867]

Cailee lol literally in the guts

[@restlessDSM]

Been trying to wrap my head around that bit of lore for years.

[@maxspecs]

Nanamo’s mom was skilled and flexible. Or else perhaps Mistbeard might be a bit below average size.

[@Cirinwe]

Another great episode. Nanamo is such a good egg.

[@ProfessM]

Oh thanks KZbin this came out on my bday and took like 3 weeks for me to see it. Great series.

[@solus48]

Really loving these

[@metalmilitia89]

Found this channel today. Subbed.

[@Roalannossium]

good times dude , ty for the fun stories

[@ashercameron]

Phenomenal, as always! The "c" in mercantile is hard, so merkantile. *wink*

[@FamilysizeGaming]

Love your stuff!

[@Lithiel]

The 2 downvotes were from the discharged Lala mage leader >w>

[@josepadron335]

did you finally get some good sleep Ethys?

[@EthysAsher]

I did! Circa 2008.

[@purgatoriprytania5382]

[@DeadTalkLive]

Very interesting clip ♥! As a fellow KZbinr, I am always looking for fresh ideas! Nice Job!

[@garrettmulholland4357]

[@Shonaskas]

Amazing video! I enjoy your work so much. You connect things that I completely overlook.
