Final Fantasy XIV Endwalker Timeline in Less Than 27 Minutes (Story Summary & Recap)

I'll recap Final Fantasy XIV Endwalker for you by giving a story summary of the timeline in less than 27 minutes by going over the story of Endwalker so please enjoy the Final Fantasy XIV timeline in less than 27 minutes. In this video, I'm going to explain and recap the story by giving you a story summary of the tales of Final Fantasy XIV by recapping the events in the game's timeline. I hope this summary will serve as a great recap for the people that are confused about the story for Endwalker. This video could be a great refresher for people who rushed through this story or if you finished it a while ago. Final Fantasy XIV is the biggest game in the Final Fantasy series with it having four expansions that have enough content to be their own games. A Realm Reborn introduces you to the world of Final Fantasy XIV and takes everything away. Then Heavnesward isolates you and lets you rebuild. Then within the chaos of Stormblood, the scope of the world is expanded and sets up future events. Lastly, Shadowbringers expands the universe and answers questions that we've had since the beginning of the game. All of this is concluded by Final Fantasy XIV Endwalker that will end this saga start and a new one. I hope that this summary can help you. By making this recap of the Final Fantasy XIV Endwalker I hope that you're able to understand Endwalker better with the rest of us.

I really hope you all enjoy the video and thanks for watching. In 2022 I plan to recap the Raids/Alliance Raids so subscribe to be ready. Also here's a playlist of my FF14 content. kzbin.info/aero/PLKRkII82dG1E1TomXO5G1ldMCdDexZZ_3

[@licharra8657]

So happy I found this!! Recapping before Dawntrail hits in 2 days, thank you 💕

[@csguak]

This expansion felt like it was the end of the game! I remember hearing Hydaelyn's voice a decade ago during the benchmark video in the ship with young Minfillia, "Hear... Feel... Think..." Now they are both gone... They closed such a huge chapter that now I feel lost. Scions have dissolved, Ascians are no more, Garlean empire bloodline is finished. I didn't mean to completely beat and finish the game like this🤯

[@derrickskipx]

Yeah Endwalker feels like a nice stopping point for anyone who wanted to leave the game on a definitive ending. But now we have e room for new characters and stories in a new saga which is really exciting.

[@havelard]

Yeah, its been 10 years Hydelyn with us, since i started this game. This expansion and the music OST is a perfect way to put a closure to the saga. Stand tall friend, your adventure never ends :)

[@CaitieLou]

WOW that was fast! Such a great summary. Just the right amount of information, and making it clear who and what you're talking about even though faces and names change around. I love that the MOMENT Emet-Selch is brought out of the aetherial sea, he has to express how PISSED he is that Venat knew exactly what was going on the whole time. And then he goes back out of pure spite because he doesn't want to be alive again if it's by Hydaelyn's magic. Flawless characterization right there. And my favorite lore tidbit is that in a sidequest, it's revealed Fourchenault hates carrots. So in the end the exodus would have been torture for him, lmao.

[@derrickskipx]

Thanks for the compliment and watching. Emet-Selch going back out of spite and pettiness was hilarious. Also Fourchenault being on the moon with carrots is something I didn't realize until you said it but I hope we that in a patch down the line.

[@Jazzkyo]

Great recap, I really liked how SQ manage to fit a final boss at the last 2 chapters of the game. All this time we thought that Zodiark was the ultimate badass boss and when we killed at almost the beginning I was like “surprise me now Yoshida-san”.

[@derrickskipx]

Thanks for the compliment. Yeah the moment I realized I beat Zoidark at LV83 I was "LIKE OMFG".

[@junlockhart5096]

I love your recap so much! Simple and just straightforward to the points. Keep up the good work and thank you

Zenos: “I can be anything you want me to be” WoL: “I want you to be dead”

[@thenewguyinred]

The Creators of FFXIV explained that the story will continue moving forward in later updates. So I want smaller more self-contained storylines like with Heavensward in these future updates to come. Maybe adventures centering around the struggles of the kingdoms now free from Garlean occupation, or what life is like in the other reflections of Hydaelyn.

[@zeewee9422]

The timing of 26:05 . You mentioning the end of the saga and that specific part in the Ultima Thule OST brought me some feels. What a freaking ride. Great Recap also!

I wish more people would make such summaries where they would just go ever step the main hero takes. Thanks a lot, that was great and useful to watch! Only wish you would include the dialogues between Julius, Zenos and Alisaie when we arrive to Garlemald because that actually hit Zenos close to home and he figured out what to do to get the duel he craved for!

[@atticus8071]

Love the explanation! I am the kind of player who hits ESC and skips ASAP so I can play. I get tired reading so much. You exposition has caught me up so many times to where I actually care about what my next MSQ mission is. Thank you

[@derrickskipx]

You're welcome.

[@ChristinaI]

I've been trying to work through the Endwalker MSQ for at least 18 months, I struggle with the pacing. I gave up when I got to the ship with the ship being prepared for the possible exodus. I watched this to see the story beats and now I see it it worth playing through. I like your voice and delivery a lot. Good job, thanks so much, you got my sub!

Great recap of Endwalker, finally just had a chance to finish the MSQ this past weekend. Every expansion feels like they will never be able to top it, but somehow they always deliver.

[@NoNameRoad]

Hey Skipx, great video as usual! I know you are planning on the raids/alliance videos but would also be really cool to get job quests and some of the side content. Some of them tie into the MSQ really well and a lot of people skip side content and don't realize what they are missing out on. For example the dragoon quest line foreshadows and gives tons of details leading into the dragonsong war etc. Basically if anything connects or adds to the MSQ would be really nice to have it included as a priority. Looking forward to your new videos.

[@derrickskipx]

I never thought of doing tho job quest lines. But I'll definitely consider it now.

[@RiveyDestroy2]

now that endwalker has ended, we prevented the final days, it's time for the Warrior of light to embark on another journey around the world for discovery, and continue the legacy of Azem.

[@derrickskipx]

Hopefully we go to the new world or Mercydia. In 7.0.

[@TheBanishedWind]

@@derrickskipx Wish granted. v7.0 "Dawntrail" takes us to the New World, Tural.

[@thisismyyoutubecommentacco6302]

Great summary. I hate to admit it but I just really couldn't get into Endwalker's storyline. Compared to Shadowbringers, I just didn't feel nearly as invested in the characters so I ended up (gasp!) skipping a lot of cutscenes and storyline. I understood kind of the basic premise but your summary filled in all the details that I just couldn't be bothered within when I was playing through the MSQ. I know I'll never be the kind of person that's really into MMORPG stories so stuff like this helps a lot. Again, thank you.

[@derrickskipx]

I'm sorry to hear you didn't enjoy the story. I personally like it more than Shadowbringers. I'm the video helped you.

[@thisismyyoutubecommentacco6302]

​@@derrickskipx Oh no worries my man, you didn't do anything wrong in the slightest and I would dare say I like Endwalker's story a little better thanks to your great summary! I think maybe it was the pacing of the MSQ honestly, it felt like the story opened up really slowly and some of the transitions were kind of jarring. Contrast with watching your summary start to finish I felt like it was easier to follow along and keep a grasp on what was going on significantly easier. I'm sure it's all a personal preference kind of thing. Either way thanks for the response and keep up the great work with the content!

[@user-wg4fl4wj8y]

@@thisismyyoutubecommentacco6302 , dude, same story here: sb story was way more catching for me

[@Chriskritical]

It'd be interesting for further expansions to cover all the reflections and life in them...i mean out of 14 total, we've only seen 3??(The source, the first and the 13th?) so that leaves a lot of potential content, or the direct next expansion could just be a relaxing one, showing life rebuilding on our world, maybe seeing the garlean empire being rebuilt but into a more peaceful empire and less tyrannic,...game has nothing but potential

[@brooksp1191]

Only 4 remain that we haven't seen, as the source has been rejoined 7 times so far.

[@josephjosephjoseph9313]

🙏🙏🙏

[@meeshellart8877]

If Meteion still lives, why would anyone think finding a new star to live on is a viable solution?

[@derrickskipx]

I would assume Hydaelyn's logic is that the Endsinger would focus on consuming the planet with billions of people. Rather than chase the moon ship which would have a few hundred thousand people. Giving humanity couple extra hundred or thousand years before she found them again.

[@amidnightstroll376]

Yeah it doesn't make much sense lol

[@DawnyAussie]

Genuinely so pissed off by Zenos' role in the story- if he weren't in the story, I doubt much would be lost except for the deus ex machina needed to defeat the Endsinger

[@derrickskipx]

Zenos' likability heavily depends what you like in stories. Zenos in Endwalker is parallel for the player character. Showing us what our character could've become if they only cared about they want and avoided responsibility. On top of bringing up some philosophical questions. But he doesn't really push the plot forward so can understand why you're upset.

[@madambutterfly1997]

So Emet Selch is appalled at his own future actions

[@derrickskipx]

Not really. He just accepted the fact you and Sicons beat him. Meaning that you're his successors weather he likes it or not.
