Gigguk Plays FINAL FANTASY 16 for the first time...

[@yohanthefate7331]

The word "sister" gets brought up Garnt: INCEST INCEST INCEST. P.S. Jill is a ward, meaning she's essentially a way for the country that Clives family defeated to chill out and not start wars. Think of it like an arranged marriage.

[@Felixrizzlord]

thats what anime does to us man

[@jakobetheanimevtuber4102]

SPOILERS... DO NOT READ. IF YOU HAVENT FINISHED GAME.... I REALLY CANT BELIEVE WE GOT A TIME SKIP OF CLIVE AND JILL TOGETHER FOR 5 YEARS BUT THEY DIDNT FUCK DURING THAT TIME... WTF.......... YOU CAN TELL CAUSE THEY STILL WERENT LOVE DOVEY UNTIL THE BEACH SCENE...

Arranged siblinghood 💀

[@midnightshout69]

basically a well treated hostage

[@Lemmewink]

More like a hostage tbh, but rosfield and his wife are cousins

[@DerpyDerpums]

Connor finishing FF8 and having finished more Final fantasy games than Garnt is quite the plot twist

[@re0096YT]

which ff is he playing after 8?

[@DerpyDerpums]

@@re0096YT no Connor finished FF8 on stream thus meaning he's finished more than Garnt who hasn't finished a single one. Connor did start ff16 tho

[@RagnarokMasta]

​@@DerpyDerpumsThat is actually hilarious but in a strange way, not surprising. When your job and your hobby merge, some people edge away from it. Contradicting the "if you love your job you'll never work a day in your life", a job's a job. Besides, being into anime doesn't mean you'll like rpgs. And I've strangely seen rpg enthusiasts make the same pejorative jokes about anime fans. Its a strange world.

[@Sero4]

Garnt: "I enjoy story-based games." Garnt two hours later: "oh, he's the Phoenix??"

[@baby_r4gna628]

That bound to happen. I mean he's looking at the chat like every 5 seconds 😂

[@Sero4]

@@baby_r4gna628 I know the man has ADHD, but the game won't shut up about Joshua being Phoenix 💀

[@Jingokou]

I was like "Bruh..."

[@Teuwufel]

That's just ultra density.

[@DillaryHuff]

Spent more time reading the chat than actually paying attention to the story 😅

[@itsSmiv]

2:07:53 this is where I realized that garnt is just not the guy to watch for games like this. 2 hours of the game's story completely revolving around joshua being the pheonix and then garnt only realizes when joshua straight up turns into it. I genuinely don't understand what garnt thought the story was about for the past 2 hours.

[@closetBK1350]

Yeah I'm really confused 'cause the game tells us Immediately who the Phoenix is at the start of the flashback, if this type of storytelling is hard for him to follow I can't even imagine how he reviews anime for a living, like does he watch explanations on yt or something after he finishes a series lmao

[@blastis]

I think he's surprised that he's an actual phoenix.

[@itsSmiv]

@@blastis you literally play as the actual pheoix at the very start of the game.

[@un_known5895]

in all fairness i believe that Garnt avoided/didn't see anything related to FF16 (i could be mistaken) and that the dominants are those who can summon forth the Eikons and you don't go Attack on titan mode and actually become the summon/Eikon

[@closetBK1350]

@@un_known5895 if you told me he played the first 30 min of the game with his eyes closed and not listening to any of the dialogue then I would absolutely believe you...

[@milten76]

sometimes i wonder if garnt actually knows whats going on because hes talking so much in cutscenes and looking away while important things are happening.

[@VaioletteWestover]

He does this during every game I feel. Even during Inazuma when Raiden is walking towards Signora he is reading chat and then he looks back and is like "wa... what's happening again?" the only time when he was fully involved was during Cocolia when the game forcefully dragged him by the hair and made him stare at the screen and only the screen with the epicness of it all. haha I don't recommend people watch him play through games you genuinely love, only watch him play games you don't care about that much. he is simply too much of a streamer for a great let's play content I think.

[@KLLI-eq1zk]

If you are the kind of person that gets bothered by this, I would recommend to wait a while and just watch him play the mega hype moments aka eikon fights, aint no way he isnt focused on the game during those

[@danielwoods3896]

He most definitely doesn't know much, considering his reaction to Joshua transforming

[@SentinalSlice]

Searching FF 16 Mid will now get a character instead of people calling it mid. It’s like Elden Ring and Torrent.

[@marcuszeus5552]

Hope Garnt streams the whole FF16 and i can't wait for him to meet the character Mid 🤣

[@bro7496]

​@@norwa3518ginormously disagreed

[@Rancimus]

It's a good game but some of the content between the big action setpieces sometimes felt like filler or a afterthought. It did most of the important things well though.

[@kingmanic]

@@norwa3518 It's the most complete and least terrible of the main series since 10. 12 story fizzled but everything else was good. 13 was atrocious in story and meh in gameplay with extremely annoying characters. 15 had a 3 act structure with act 1 chopped off into a movie and last act was truncated with decent exploration but poor combat. 16 has incredible highs and is a good story and fun gameplay.

[@arseniykorchevskiy1564]

Am i the only one who’s seen the prologue to this game like 12 times lol

I have. And I have yet to get tired of watching it. I find it THAT amazing.

[@Jwg-gj7qs]

If Garnt says he hasn't gotten that feeling since Tales of Arise that says something. I got the exact same feeling playing Tales of Arise where I TOO wanted to not work and do nothing but play this game.

[@Nemesiis-jc7wm]

[@Naviachi]

Jill isn't their sister. She was a ward, a political prisoner like Theon in GoT. The wording in ATL was meant to show us that they treated her as if she was an actual part of their family. Elwin treated her kindly, but that doesn't mean he was a parent to her. No stepsister or adopted sister. I would say more about her days as a child, but I don't want to spoil anything. I don't even think there was such thing as adoption back then. But chat sees sister and is going apeshit. Cousins marriage is also nothing new and is legal in most western countries and I'm talking about first cousins.

[@itsSmiv]

Garnt was fully aware that they aren't actually siblings, he was just playing off that the atl called her a sister

I never had any noticable drops while playing on the 30fps mode, definitely not as bad as this. It's probably a streaming or capture card related issue
