FFXIV Lore Tours - World of Darkness

Welcome to another FFXIV Lore Tour! Rather than offering you another mechanical dungeon guide, I'll be running through the various duties of the game whilst giving them the Ethys treatment verbatim. Every inch of the game is full of meaning and opportunity and although not every reference made could be stretched to a several-minute lecture, I think this will prove a great format to cover the smaller constituent details of the XIV universe.
This video extensively contains my own commentary and editing and is intended for educational purposes.

Wow your dragoon looks incredible! That armor and weapon looks sick!😙👍

[@AroOra09]

Im glad I came across you channel and I LOVE these lore tours! Please keep them up! :)

[@Toruxxx]

Awesome video mate. Loving the stuff you create.

[@JinhC]

Really looking forward to the Artemis Bow Armoire video, but no rush! I've loved everything you've put out, you cover the "other side" of the game that I can never fully digest as I play even if I watch every cutscene, all those tiny details that hint at bigger events. It gives your videos a feel similar to the postmoogle quests in a way, expanding what I know of the game's universe. Thank you!

[@GreyEyedRaven]

Love love your channel and all the lore stuff. Keep up the good work. :D I also play on Tonberry too.

[@acgearsandarms1343]

Looking back at this, you got your wishes. Tiamat and Anima coming soon.

[@b3nnym4n]

Great video. Another Lore!

So, The Cloud of Darkness was controlling Xande and the Allagans. Didn't Alphanuid and Alphasaine mention, in Turn 10, that the Mercedians (Bahamut's kids) were attacked and enslaved by the Allagans? I guess it wouldn't be too shocking since Lahabrea controlled Gauis adn the Ultima Weapon to consume those 3 primals. Kind of like history repeating itself.

7 years later, we get the anima fight! XD

[@Trudgemank]

Could you do a video on Coerthas, its culture and religion? I feel like I'm missing a lot not having played 1.0, such as what exactly the Fury is, whether they worship the same gods as the rest of Eorzea, and if there's anything else you know about their society. Keep up the good work!

[@TheUnrealjester]

I would LOVE to see an armoire on Mammon

[@jeffwithrow6770]

Have you considered doing a video covering the lore behind Ishgard? I realize most of it is currently spotty and vague, but a lot of us in the roleplaying community really loved your 20 Malms series, and even some speculation on Ishgard would give us something to talk about for quite some time.

[@joshuadavid6965]

another great vid. i need your voice/accent in twitch form.. yesterday!

[@YumiGoblin]

So when is the Lore Tour for ST coming out, eh? I wanna know all the cool stuff from my favourite raid darn it D:

[@Araedi]

Id love to see a lore tour on Dun Scaith

[@arturius9715]

Hi Ethys love this content. Im wondering is there an English translation of the encyclopedia? I really want that and the official players guide but I don't speak Japanese 😢

[@joshuadavid6965]

great podcast w LBR. wish you had more screen time. pet the parrot for me :)

[@KMFDM_Kid2000]

Wake up to an Ethys video. Well good morning to me, eh? You should do at least one of these jogging around in the open world.

[@graceggale]

Is there a reason there are ninjas in the Void?

[@darkclash9191]

I know it doesn't really matter but, Blue Chromatic Dragons in Dungeons and Dragon's don't have Cold powers they have Electricity powers. White Chromatic Dragons are the ones with the Cold ones, confusing right?

[@nekoloverforlife1748]

Maybe you can talk abit about Primals and their real world counterparts/ inspiration. I'd love to hear your opinions on The Primal Shiva and her supposed inspiration Shiva the Hindu god of Destruction as well as life and perfection. Same with Ifrit and his real world inspiration the Djinn. I hope you get the idea.

[@EthysAsher]

I touched on Shiva a little bit in one of my 20 malms videos (I think?) and this was pretty much what I did for Ravana and Bismarck but you're right, I should go back over the other Primals at some point.

[@turgidbanana]

Is it kerberus or cerberus?

[@Frankthetank302]

wheres your vids

[@qtscorpkid]

the ancent civilisations Belidha amdapor Sildith

[@hao013]

Hiii i think your videos are excellent but clearly you really suffer playing and explaning at the same time lol. Anyway just like a note arhiman is know as the evileye and i think is part of the anglosaxon mithology as a simbol of misery and bad thoughts

[@SokiHime]

Greedy thrusting... eheehehehehehehehehehe

[@tomcross9471]

Are you miss pronouncing Cerberus and Hercules on purpose? not sure if trolling orrrrrr...

[@tomcross9471]

+nickreilly72 www.dictionary.com/browse/cerberus

[@tomcross9471]

+Tom Cross in short, wrong

[@i.147]

Tom Cross Cerberus can be prounonced "Kerberoos" since it's how it sounds in latin. But you can also prounonce it "Serberus".

[@VonValancius]

In Greek its also Kerberos.. as far as I can recall it means, ''Demon of the Pit'' the pit being ''Underworld'' which in return is what the three-headed dog guarding the gate of hades was called..

[@maeakin94]

Hercules is the Roman form of Heracles. That is his actual greek name.

[@Kanethedragon]

Yeah, talking for a long time straight is difficult, especially when it's for 2 or more hours and you have next to no viewers to watch it.
