FFXIV Lore- The New World and Mamool Ja (Dawntrail)

[@SniperKing-O]

The sacred dance of the mamool ja will always be a favorite part of their traditions to me. 😂

[@Wanderingsage7]

Some people may be..m disgruntled about not going to the New World via Limsa and Merlwyb, understandably. However from a political stance, it kind of makes sense. Doing so could look like we, the supposedly disbanded Scions and the WoL who I'm pretty sure could be considered a womd at this point, are either in Limsa's pocket or at least owe them a favor. Going via Sharlyan, who are known if not legendary in their isolationist tendencies (I don't think they even have a Hingashin ambassador in Kugane), that they were sending anyway is a better political move.

[@althelor]

I never put much thought into it since I just assumed we were going there on personal business, but that does make a lot of sense. Though I doubt anyone from the new world would actually know or care about us or who was sending us. Which honestly is a bit refreshing.

[@dakotadoyle7573]

How much you wanna bet that the same magic that enchants totems is gonna be used in some form for the Dawntrail Relic Weapons?

[@kuronaialtani]

I tell you I was so so happy going through fanfest reactions seeing just how many people went "OH IT'S THE NEW WORLD" the second they saw a mamool ja

[@mr.jeorgexiii1732]

I'm hoping they do some stuff inspired by caribbean or even taino culture

[@potatomashersupreme]

Perhaps

[@stealthassassin7]

I would love to see Caribbean inspired culture, being from the Caribbean myself...

[@gruntmasterbroadcast]

I know this much... Unless I fall in love with another outfit my red au ra is going into this new world glamour nomad style! I wonder what kinda outfit our residential scribe will take into the new worlds jungle...

[@SynodicScribe]

Something that doesn't make me feel sticky after walking through a humid jungle all day....

[@jacobkern2060]

​@@SynodicScribe Have the mask on, but otherwise only be wearing a speedo

[@cnkclark]

Been into the Mamool Ja since I started in Limsa and saw the random guy buying four sssscore blood sausages, raw. Finally they get their time to shine.

[@ProfessM]

I am looking forward to learning more about how new leaders are put on the throne. The whole leading a war band and the fight in the trailer makes it clear that strength through combat matters but a nation needs more then toughest bastard on the throne to be so thriving and friendly.

[@D3th10rd]

4:40 Red Head: -_- "Hes doing it again, making that dumb face during this most important of meetings. I just know it, I dont even have to look." Blue Head: :D "Those mushrooms are really kicking in now!"

[@Noisymedal]

So did Gosetsu row around the new world continent or did he pick up the boat and walk over it?

[@SynodicScribe]

Yes.

[@Puddingskin01]

He rowed over it so as to not frighten the locals.

[@DarthSanguine]

Neither. He travelled west, not east.

[@twotoned_echos]

He traveled under the New World

[@lucasnobrebarbosa812]

As a Brazilian I hope they use some brazilian references, like maybe "Carnaval".

[@SynodicScribe]

They've already taken inspiration from Caribbean Islands so I wouldn't be surprised!

[@gabiribeiro1989]

HOHO i'm early for class! love your vids so much

[@SynodicScribe]

You're very welcome. ^^

[@MisterVyle]

I was actually hoping for this video! Me and my friend are very much looking forward to taking our bunnys into the new world.

[@miqotesoulia8620]

11:10 had me in awe. Great vid!

[@amitamaru]

Urgh. Thinking about the mamool ja gives me somr bad mrmories about Camp Bronz Lake. What that lizard did was no "dance".

[@SynodicScribe]

Gegeruju seemed to be into it.

[@cnkclark]

"I pay my coin! I do my dance!"

[@ChrisWizzerd]

Absolutely love these vids!

[@cj_skywalker]

Great video. I can't wait for next summer. ^_^

[@user-ch7pp8gm4n]

Thanks for the sum up. Very informative.

[@Wanderingsage7]

Do you think that the Garleans had plans to conquer Hingashi and Thavnair? (Apologies for the spelling) Iunno, I kind of prefer Kettenburg. I hope we eventually meet the Whalquee.

[@SynodicScribe]

Oh yeah they were just saving them for last. Or at least, they would've been subservient states that lived under the illusion of freedom.

[@Wanderingsage7]

@@SynodicScribe thank you. Yeah, that's kind of the vibe I get too. And likely would have succeeded though both would probably have been costly victories.

[@MultiMelodia]

I wonder if we're going to meet the whalaqee tribe this expansion. Would be a grand opportunity to do something more with blue mage content, as we travel to the tribe who originated the artform, looking for lessons from the point of origin, rather than from a proxy.

[@Argroh]

and now with Dawntrail out, turns out a good chunk of this lore vid was correct.

[@wrathshorts2894]

Headin' to the new world to find the One Piece. I mean the city of gold.

[@dustinhatfield8373]

A fantastic video as usual, I've been looking forward to this one! I winner if they're kicking themselves for already using Quezalcotl now that they're going to Aztec/ Mayan inspired locations

[@stealthassassin7]

They can still use Quez, it will just be a different version, just like how there were different versions of Ifrit, Garuda, Shiva etc in Shadowbringers.

[@dustinhatfield8373]

@@stealthassassin7 was quezalcotl a primal though? Pretty sure it was just a powerful creature in the anyder wasnt it?

[@stealthassassin7]

@@dustinhatfield8373 yes, it was a creation of the Ancients. The thing about it is that it was a summon in FFVIII, so coming back again as a primal in Dawntrail is fitting, in addition to the Aztec/Mayan inspired setting.

[@dustinhatfield8373]

@@stealthassassin7 ff8 was my favorite and first ff! Maybe they will bring it back but i doubt it. Just like how ixion isnt a primal, neither is quezalcotl. Ramuh is the lightning aspected primal

[@arxzcm]

I'm excited for Estinien and baby Mamool Ja!

[@ridewild1956]

you mentioning merlwyb makes me wonder if she'll be involved somehow, after all now that the war is over the only thing i can see the alliance still needing to do is help stabilize garlemald before the grand company leaders and nanamo can fulfill their promise to step down as leaders, after all why leave something like that to new, inexperienced blood, when it makes more sense for them to finish what they started

[@warllockmasterasd9142]

She's way too locked behind desk-work.

[@kellyschmader213]

Now I'm wondering if Amaal'ja and Mamool'ja are related races? They both have a "horn" on their head and very similar bodies.

[@SynodicScribe]

As far as we know at the moment? No. There's zero connection between the two races aside from some passing coincidences.

[@369destroyer]

Is it wierd I kinda hope to play as Mamool ja in the next update? I k ow it won't likely happen but I can dream right?

[@WilliamTheWatchful]

I'll bring them my Cooking Tonberry Knife as a gift. 8}

[@1Mrstephen]

#videoidea please do a video on their fighting styles and types of magic used. This might be a clue to the new jobs to come.

[@Sayuameangkis]

Didnt the blue mage questline talk about going to the new world and that is were blue magic is from?

[@SynodicScribe]

Yup! What we understand as Blue Magic are arcane arts developed by a tribe of Hyur in the New World called the Whalaqee.

[@Sayuameangkis]

@@SynodicScribe OK, because if I recall in that quest line someone also went over to build mines and more or less colonize them to fuel the war effort. So not only do we know the new world but we are well on the way to colonising it.

[@SynodicScribe]

@@Sayuameangkis They TRIED to get the land from the Whalaqee. But failed entirely when they bet their enterprise on beating the WoL in a contest. And we've not lost a title match in TEN YEARS!

[@Sayuameangkis]

@@SynodicScribe So in other words what amounts to Eorzia WWE and the WOL holding the title belt for ten years straight undefeated is what stopped colonialism in the new world. That's kind of wild when you think about it, or at least really funny. It still kind of shows the paperwork was already approved for it and done and if not for random chance and betting against the WOL things would be VERY different.

[@SynodicScribe]

@@Sayuameangkis Well, things would have only really been different for the Whalaqee. The New World is already settled by a variety of cultures how would've whooped a Ul'dah merchant's ass for trying to mine their land. lol

[@donaldleewarner3868]

Looking forward to the new expansion.

[@Wanderingsage7]

As far as we know at current, there is no connection between the Momol Ja and the Amalja besides being warrior culture Lizard people?

[@SynodicScribe]

As far as we know. There's absolutely no connection between the two. The Amalja and Mamool Ja are two completely different races.

[@Wanderingsage7]

@@SynodicScribe Thank you. It's interesting to see two separate people's having such similarities.

[@acgearsandarms1343]

I have two major questions. How come the name Tural never caught on in foreign lands as it is should be the official name compared to the title of New World? And by defeating Molaa Ja Ja, does that make us viable to compete in the contest for the throne? Not as a potential ruler mind you, just as a proxy or champion for the contender themselves.

[@SynodicScribe]

Because Tural doesn't refer to the entirety of the New World, only a section of it. Kinda like how Eorzea technically isn't all of Aldenard. Unless Dawntrail introduces new lore to elaborate. My notes would suggest that, no, the WoL is in no way entitled to anything for defeating Blessed Siblings. So far, it simply tarnished the warband's reputation and ruined any chance at respect.

[@jacks1368]

@@SynodicScribeI thought Eorzea was Aldenard plus Vylbrand and a few smaller islands?

[@SynodicScribe]

@@jacks1368 The lines of where Eorzea ends are weird. But as written, Aldenard is simply Eorzea's home. If Eorzea was just as big if not bigger, then there would be no point in distinguishing the two.

[@Gogoglovitch]

@@SynodicScribe You've got it backwards. Aldenard is a continent, containing (among other places) Ala Mhigo, Ishgard, Gridania, and Ul'dah. Vylbrand is a large island off the west coast of Aldenard, home to Limsa Lominsa and the kobolds of O'ghomoro. Eorzea is the name used for the region containing both Aldenard and Vylbrand. This is how they're described in numerous places, including the Encyclopedia Eorzea.

[@SynodicScribe]

@@Gogoglovitch Heck, if we wanna get REALLY technical with it then. Eorzea isn't even a nation or specific place. It's a name give to a concentration of unique aetheric density that just so happens to originate from the core of Aldenard. lmao

[@mr.jeorgexiii1732]

Ahhh new videoA

[@adamboyd1132]

5:30 Lalafels confirmed to be from new world.

[@goldtoothslair3052]

I'm still going to say it I don't get how a bunch of beasts men can be as powerful or even more powerful than the goddess of despair. That being said I have a feeling that some Quest we might bump in this new Journey might lead to certain tribes actually wanting to be different like the magic user doesn't want to be a magic user wants to be a warrior and we either have to convince it that you are magic-user or you can use your magic Like a Warrior. Another Quest I think we might bump into is little pockets of Despair creatures still hanging about in the jungles and we might have to go end those creatures.

[@DCJMS]
