Hey, just wanted to say that I really appreciate the effort put into these lore videos. With all the grinding, mechanics and relics going on, it's sometimes hard to focus on all the story events playing out in front of me. Thanks for giving me a comprehensive run down on everything going on!

[@rhyscook512]

Just a clarification for the Queen's Guard: The four are not Allagan constructs. Just like the other bosses, they are Blades who were tempered, and transformed just like the others.

[@Vayne122]

dark and tragic :(

[@fredy2041]

Such a weird choise they did not make it obious. I didnt get it at first until I had their lore notes, but why it isnt with the trinity bosses?

[@rhyscook512]

Yeah, these are Blades that you never meet in the game. Only the notes tell you who they were before.

[@fredy2041]

@@rhyscook512 We know all of them, all of the nine

[@rhyscook512]

@@fredy2041 Xeven, Aggie, Blaz, Velibor, Isolde, and Stanik, we have met them in game. But the ones who made up Queen's Guard we never seen or met before they became tempered.

I'm really loving these bozja videos, thanks so much for putting them together! I'm very slowly going through bozja myself and I'm not sure I'll be able to grind through it for the story, so this is really a godsend. Your commentary and deep lore knowledge also add a further layer of insight into everything. Thank you!

[@glemmstengal]

There is so much writing in this game that goes unnoticed. I try to click all the NPCs but when I watch you I realize how many I miss.

[@dale7326]

All final fantasy games are like that where they let your imagination go wild with whatever the stuff that they can drop in and out of the lorebook. Well, sometimes being simple isn’t a bad choice. It just all about the words that choose to interpret...

[@forlorngallery]

I live for these lore videos. Thank you.

[@SwitchXP8]

Many thanks for doing this, I’ve not been able to play much for many months and that looks to continue, and I was sad about missing out on all this juicy lore and storyline. You are the MVP!

[@Varizen87]

Honestly, the Collection Tab is one of the best things that was added with Neir and Bozja, and I hope they continue to use it for dossiers on future content. I wish it had appeared way earlier.

[@ZephWraen]

The Crystal inside a tree is very reminiscent of Exodus' depiction in Final Fantasy Tactics: Advance. Exodus being one of the 13 Ivalician Espers, and notably one that we haven't seen make an appearance in XIV yet. And at this point with them having Adrammelech in Castrum and this tree reminding me of Exodus I'm starting to think they may at actually introduce all 12 (Zodiark is the 13th) over the course of the remaining life cycle of the game. So far we've had: -Cuchulainn (Voidsent boss in Void Ark. Weird happenstance of name sharing, and in the game before Return to Ivalice was ever planned. Probably will get a different version in the future) -Mateus (Rabanastre raid) -Hashmal (Rabanastre raid) -Famfrit (Ridorana raid) -Belias (Ridorana raid) -Ultima (Orbonne raid) -Adrammelech (Castrum Lacus Litore) I will be really happy if this crystal has something to do with Exodus.

[@crowolf3862]

The thirteen are also used for the seats of the convocation, so it’s not unlikely to see them all. Lorgif and Mitron from Eden are connected to Belias and Chaos respectively, while Lahabrea is tied to Mateus. With Pandemonium leaking Lahabrea’s name, they very well could have esper forms there too.

That moment when the Queen is summoned and the Metroid Prime 2 music kicks in

[@Jerrickd]

In regard to whose essence was in Save the Queen before Gunnhildr, perhaps it was Emmerloloth? In FF12 Emmerloloth was known as "The Holy Queen", and the Emmerloloth in 14 does have ties to Eureka.

[@usamimi-no-majo]

Fun fact: "The Queen Awakens" has a ton of melodic references to "One Winged Angel: Rebirth". Probably not for any particular reason, though.

[@DarthXelion]

People say that but I couldnt hear it at all. Even messing around with speeding up or slowing it down. Maybe if its Key gets changed and speed up. But I've yet to try that.

[@usamimi-no-majo]

@@DarthXelion It's less about the speed or the key, and more about the structure of the song itself. There's several phrases and musical ideas taken straight from OWA.

[@cwh41187]

Been waiting for this one

[@roguetomato9817]

Hey I mean, even if the voices weren't fantastic, it's still more immersive than no voices at all.

[@TsukadaHina]

Is Mikoto a Time Mage? She uses Levitation (which is a time mage spell) and has this weird distortion as a dodge mechanic.

[@goldstarsupreme]

I'm pretty sure she's a CNJ, you see her with her wand/staff in Cid's memoryscape

[@safarfsaf]

It's a depiction of her using the future sight. She "sees" the attack and doesn't need to dodge.

[@FreedomSylph]

She's an android, her dodge animation is the exact same as 2B :x

[@FreedomSylph]

A thought just occured to me, what if the implication of Mikoto falling from that airship means she will become the next vessel for save the queen instead, kinda mirrorring shiva in azys lla

[@TearsofaLunarian]

Oh, I saw you afk in Gridania yesterday. Was thinking 'is that him or just somebody who uses the same name?' Now that I found out you're on Odin, yup, it was you. :^)

[@noahrules9946]

I wonder if Mikoto’s sister will end up being the job mentor for Sage. It would explain why our Warrior of Light would find a Sharlayan willing to pass on the art in Limsa since she’s not allied with the Forum. Correct me if I’m wrong, but the Forum disapproves of the Scions direct intervention in Eorzean politics, does it not?

[@KingSteve13]

Sooooo are we all thinking that Mikoto's sister will be out Sage trainer? I can see it fitting with her disdain for Sharlayian politics, and to annoy Mikoto by getting close to us.

[@Luzz4136]

Your channel and content is a gem! Love the voices and impersonations haha Do you use any shaders? Your graphics look slightly more colored

[@viktormanuelovskisalei4203]

Thats a big airship, Noah ship

[@truthless4720]

Did you ever make a video on the Eurekan story? Can't find it if so. Would love to see a summary of it, as I've forgotten most of it and it seems relevant to the Bozja story. Edit: Also, I didn't even realize this until now, but that Au Ra GNB in white pants and red shirt at 1:40:07 is me xD

[@Notimer142]

Ethys are you planning to do some video about Eureka?

[@la2douglas]

Ethys can you do like a voice tutorial? Your voices are great

[@fredy2041]

My god, Misija is an interesting character, but defently irredimamble. Her actions contradicts whats she says. I see on her more of a consume powerhungry vengance person. She may say that Bajsaljen is a good person. But she couldnt defently tempered him, give the chanse. Look the blades, making them pay for someone is not their fault? Good people that prob share, all Bajsaljen, send to the slaughter house. Lets also not forget how she treated Mikoto. Her actions seem too rude and evil, and it shows as if she had no respect at all. I had more respect to Gabranth and the 4th legion than to Misija, which it seems like if she only care for venguanse and power to become the next queen

[@fredy2041]

@@AverageAspie I mean, she was controlling an eikon, right? I suppose Noa still beholds that old Garlean thing of "death to all eikons" The moment Misija summoned The Queen, was clear that if she failed, she would be all alone by herself.

[@Selcryn]

I'm really pissed at SE for *immediately* killing off six of the NPCs that they gave us sooooooo much more info than *ANY OTHER* in the entire game! Why bother making up that much info if you are just going to off them on the next chapter? Just a waste of dev time if you ask me. And before anyone jumps in with "they did it to get us more enthralled with the story etc etc." Yes, I know that, give me more than *A* chapter with someone if you are going to off them, one chapter isn't enough for me to start caring about the characters you've offed. I don't mind getting attached to a character that is taken away; (Spoiler warning for those just trolling Ethys's videos) Moenbryda, Haurchefant, and Ysayle are in my top 10 favorite characters in the entire game, partially because I was able to get invested within their personal stories. Their names, faces, and things they've done come easily to my mind, the memories bittersweet in mourning but treasured all the same. The six we just lost? I'm liable to forget them by the time of Endwalker's release, leaving behind nothing more than the disappointing potential of what could have been bittersweet memories of lost comrades, never to be treasured, never to truly be mourned.

New Ffxiv video?

[@Zakharon]

Why the disdain for porxies all of a sudden?

[@fredy2041]

Because their too goofy for something that delibers a cure to a enormus problem on the plot of ffxiv, it takes its seriousness

@@Zakharon Nop, but as Ethys says and I agree with him, is just too much already. They could use a diferent animal. Fliying cute goofy porxies fo a cure to people that before, the solution was to kill them? :/

[@xRagnarok05x]

I cant watch this. The voices are all WRONG!

[@JJMomoida]

Really don't like Delubrum's final boss' design. It feels like they wanted to go for a boss that is relatively human-sized... but wanted her to still have a large hitbox or something... so they put her on a garish, clunky-ass mechanical unicycle-chair that just looks stupid as all fuck. Oh and they put a magic sigil on her back. Yeah.

[@Britmadny]

Still better than your pfp facts

[@crowolf3862]

Idk. It feels like the chariot tarot card. But i’m a persona fan, so they go even wilder on bosses.

[@FreedomSylph]

For me, I just go "huh?" When she transformed and proceed to sit in a wheelchair, its kinda hilarious xD I dont dislike it tho, also the boss bgm is one of the best ingame imo

[@lunausagi8495]

I disagree. There was no stopping them from making her just bigger model-wise like the Ascian in Chrysalis who suddenly grew a few sizes larges in the fight. But it'd be so boring, so I prefer this
