[@maxpower506]

YAY LORE I miss Ethys he is the Nobbel of FFXIV

[@marymcallister7963]

ETHYYYS !!! Welcome back to YT !

[@PrinceSweetBun]

Noticed that Glynard at 11:06 is basically the same Roegadyn from the 1.0 trailer when the Warrior of Light is picking the leve plates.

[@AnonSeacat]

Unassuming individual made me laugh out loud.

[@alismundi]

Thank you for this lore tour, this place is beautiful! I'd really love to see more lore tours of other towns and cities in the future! So much to explore.

[@Daemonpool65]

Omg! Welcome back Ethys!

[@Kylesico912x]

Ethys is back! Someone quickly get the chains and shackles! We must make him stay! ... Excellent video as always.

[@pll3827]

Not even across different worlds can we be free from the Rowena Monopoly.

[@AeroLancaster]

Thanks Ethys for this awesome tour!! I cannot wait to explore the Crystarium! It's already looking to be my new favorite city and I hope it gets a lot of great use in this expansion.

[@Platypi007]

Love to see you back doing lore tours! Hope you continue into ShB!

[@RemyBop]

Ethys, yay! I can never seem to catch your streams, glad you've got some new vids out! :D

[@laurenreeves-carver3215]

I really, REALLY hope this means youre coming back to do lore walkthroughs/summaries/ect more frequently and this isnt a one and done sponsored video

[@Gorophorge]

part of his absence is because his entire channel is demonetized on youtube, for some reason, even though his foul language is kept in check and he isnt violent or anything, the demonetization is silly and causes him to have to put this on the backburner as opposed to twitch, but i made him promise me on stream to start putting out these videos again! and he promised on stream so!!!

[@stephenhealy21]

I learned so many new words today

[@gustlmeixner2778]

Looks sooooo freaking awesome! Can't wait for 28th ^^

[@Lewdology]

Oooh, I am reminded of the video titled Shandification of Fallout and the key question posed in it, in regards to world building... "What do they eat?" Great work, thanks for the tour!

[@knuxson]

Loved the background on Greek academia. Thanks!

[@Tiger-vn8wl]

Thank you so much for this video. This is incredible!

[@Gorophorge]

SQUEEEEK! OMG!!! A LORE TOUR!!!!

[@scott_chocolate]

ETHYS!?!?! ARE YOU BACK!? Fucking, dig your videos, dude! There are 4 things I like in life: Dark Souls, Final Fantasy, lore, and ice cream. Your channel occupies some pretty prime real estate on that venn diagram. Now, if you'll excuse me, I gotta add some more views to your videos.

[@GeekAtLifeMeter]

All hail the return of Ethys!

[@miniszlan]

Thank you for this, loved it. :)

[@jasonjackunderwood2839]

Welcome back Ethys! A great tour. I’m also really... really hoping we get some interactive tomes in this library. It’d be a shame if we couldn’t sit and spend some amount of time reading there. Looking forward to more from ya.

[@ProfessM]

Damn I needed a lore tour like a fish needs water.

[@jonh4872]

Oh fuck. The Crystarium is Balamb Garden!

[@JDSleeper]

Can't wait to get into this. Does "throw wide the gates" mean that the First and the Source will end up open to each other? If so, does this mean a new flood of refugees into Eorzea? That would make for an interesting bit of storytelling. I mean, the Summoning Bell would have to work across shards unless you get a free Retainer on the First.

[@akazitheking4223]

this city in the night will be really awesome cant wait for it ..

[@sharudawolf]

Is... Is that you ethys?! I've been so hungry... For LORE

[@DavidTimothy]

There's a new lore tour!!!! Woot!

[@DarthSanguine]

3:42 Well, we're not finding the Ixal - they're man-made. Though I have to wonder if, given the white fur, the Amaljaa are called Yetis in the First... 5:34 Sephiroth! XD

[@nicholaschisholm7018]

Allegan made, whose to say if any ixal were.... shipped to the first

[@DarthSanguine]

Well, I was wrong on both counts - there's an Ixalion in The Twinning, and the Amaljaa are called Zun on The First. XD

[@SuikodenGR]

7:01 this cracked me up 😂 Do you, live show up every few months or something? 🤣 Welcome back!

[@bendiamond4477]

Seeing the long winding apartment blocks and the land divided into the specific-use sections really affected me for some reason. Really gave me the "last bastion of civilisation" feel >.

[@HawkinaBox]

0:34 Wow, that's crazy how long it has been around for.

[@agentkevinzane]

Can anyone explain to a lore n00b (o/) why the Allegan node is surprising if the Crystal Tower was built by the Allegans? When I first started exploring the lore I admit that it threw me off, but after redoing the CT questline and realizing that the Crystal Tower is essentially "The Legacy of Allag" it feels like it should be obvious that there is going to be at least some Allegan tech on The First. Is it because Norvrandt's Crystal Tower hasn't been opened yet and this is hinting that the Allegans may have been on The First prior to the appearance of the Crystal Tower? I also wonder if the Calamity was what caused the appearance of the CT on The First considering that is what had caused The Source's to reawaken originally. How neat would it be if we had to open the voidgate in Norvrandt's Syrcus Tower to allow The Cloud of Darkness to enter and bring some "balance" to The First? :P

[@Feychild12259]

I wonder when Rowena will take over the first. LOL. Seriously though great video. Great to see a new lore video.

[@stephenwalters2076]

Pls Stay We Need You!

[@cyrinius1979]

I want to watch this because I enjoy your videos but I'm afraid of spoiling it for myself. I love that feeling of stepping into a new world like I did when we first stepped into ishgard so I won't watch this just yet but I will give it a thumbs up and def watch it later . Thanks for your videos :)

[@prew_gaming]

Th Allegan Node reference was humorous..lol

[@Azdaja13]

So, how big would you say the Crystarium is compared to say Ishgard or Kugane? Just so I can get a sense of scale.

[@guitarking367]

by the looks of it... MUCH BIGGER

[@jslaughter95]

i mean, to be fair Gubal library i wouldn't call "fruitless" there was quite a bit of Eorzean/garlean history in there scattered throughout

[@ceasarmike1]

good lore

[@purgatoriprytania5382]

It's been too long, Lord of Lore.

[@BadrYousef64]

It's the place from the 2005 trailer of xiv.

[@UmatsuObossa]

You have a perfect 'tour guide' voice and candour, lol

[@renycilfay3993]

Pray, return to the Wandering (Waking) Stairs (Sands.)

[@MonTonal]

Best FF14 video released today...

[@aianelahni]

Any chance you recorded some Viera NPC names in your travels? Would be great to get an idea what they are like for our own character names.

[@DarthSanguine]

They would have no bearing on that, as the naming conventions on the First are different to those on the Source. We this clearly in the video with the Mistel (or however it's spelled).

[@darkazurr9891]

if the main aetherite is near the marketboards loads will be there if not . people will still be in limsa

[@justingrantham2112]

LORE!

[@SuccubiPie]

I really shouldn't spoil myself, but looore

[@Chai_Mage]

So basically, the Crystarium used to be a university campus? Because it definitely looks more like a university campus than it does an actual city.

[@apoc35]

Maybe I'm just imagining it, but you kinda sound like the guy that does the English voice for Zenos

[@Shiirow]

I always thought the english voice for Zenos sounded like David Tennant doing his 10th Doctor voice.

[@TKUltra971]

I have a lore question: Where are the bathrooms? It's been 5 years and i've yet to see someone take a ***piss break.

[@atoli16]

This is a great question... There aren't any toilets for housing as well. /think

[@ludgerkresnik3972]

Wait wait wait, there is no night in the "new world"?

[@77wolfblade]

because there is too much light that cause this. that is what i'm getting anyway.

[@Cynicz13]

Unassuming individual indeed...perhaps it is just a scout pushed through from the source? Actually I noticed there was another unassuming individual (more watery) in the dungeon you did...hmm.

[@Dominion-Regalia]

Nice ASMR intro.

[@xigbarmasters3337]

Do i dare hope for more lore videos...?🤔

[@ZelosSama]

Took me a bit to figure out what a "charlain" was -_-

[@willsword8100]

Are you back? For real?

[@millennialtrance3235]

Zenos? Is that you?

[@brianbell8382]

Moren looks like Sephiroth.

[@yrsa7637]

conspicuously empty store hahahahaha

[@silly5905]

Eulmore Aetheryte Plaza lol

[@TaigaGalette]

Very soon my ass 1 month fml

[@Isa_Reynard]

Such big, wide, open spaces.. but it's pretty empty.. :(
