Intro to Journey Lore Part 1~ AFK Journey Opening Cutscene Explained (The Esperia Chronicles AFKwDG)

[@JuupelisJaapelis]

I started playing AFK Arena after starting AFK Journey because I wanted to see more character lore, especially for the few characters that are both in journey and arena. One thing I wish they'd bring to Journey from Arena are also the absolutely gorgeous character portraits!!! They are breathtakingly beautiful and I just wish I could draw in that style! ;__;

[@brittanyh9559]

This is 🔥. Literally LIVING for these lore uploads on my new all-time fav mobile game. So glad I found your channel! I'm going to be introducing my bf to AFK Journey, he is hell bent on PC or console gaming, and I can't wait to see his reaction to how aesthetically similar Farlight and Lilith Gaming made this to its other platform counterparts. Anyway, keep up the great work, DangerGrey!

Played just a little afk arena and now im all in for journey ! Amazing video !!! My only problem is i need more of these videos for EVERYTHING you know !! Please teschbus the ways !!!

[@DangerGrey]

More coming this week don’t worry!! They commissioned five quick ones to start, I just told them I needed a little more time due to also co-running Analytica! We aren’t just the top guild on S1 in BD and Glory Exp, we have 3 spots in the top 10, and 7 guilds in total 🥰❤️🎩 So the administrative efforts that it took for Seas0n and I to put that together last week during launch - along with our seriously awesome (and rapidly expanding lmao) leadership team - were staggering. And on top of that, I gotta be leveling at a nearly constant clip to keep up while F2P so that I contribute in a meaningful way (being able to 3-man the second round of farm/trash teams in under 30s). Not to mention Lilith decided it was the right time to run AE (Abyssal Expedition) in AFKA which is the major guild coop tournament and only happens ~3x each year.

Wooo yeah, awesome video! I'm looking forward to the rest 🔥

[@travisshaw7377]

Killing it Danger!!! Making ya’boy Ali proud ❤️

[@PumaYasei]

I love the idea of this for sure and you seem like you know tons of lore! I wish it was a bit more structured with more info and less jokes/side rants. Will definitely keep my eyes out for future updates though!

[@parahnic]

what an underrated creator!

[@PinkBarrierLou]

Awesome overview! Waiting for the rest :)

[@DangerGrey]

Coming soon!! Working on the next one right now- should have it to you guys tomorrow!!!

[@PinkBarrierLou]

@@DangerGrey omg so excited 🥰🥰🥰

[@amyshkashenoy]

Oh my god, I absolutely needed this, I usually love lore and stories but couldn’t get too into the storytelling of the game 😭 I’m living for this absorbable lore

[@vintageryn7217]

So excited to hear more lore! I'm definitely in need of a recap of Arena! Really hoping they put backstories in again soon though, I absolutely *need* to know more about Carolina and can't find her story anywhere! 😭

[@DangerGrey]

I hope so too! I Will look for her story for you - come by the livestream sometime and remind me if I forget

[@vintageryn7217]

@@DangerGrey will do! Thank you! ❤️

[@wavyOx]

Loving it !

[@lux2978]

any idea who or what could show up in illusion valley based on arena lore? its the inaccessible region between vaduso mountains 3 and 5 that you can only get to by glitching (but it already has an area name and stuff)

[@Matthew-sj1zw]

keep it up!

[@MrShadowAssasin8]

From where are the beginning scenes

[@DangerGrey]

From an AFK Arena Anime trailer they had made several years ago - there is also an animated series as well called ‘Just Esperia Things’

[@ninbjamokkapit1586]

DOPE BRO

[@ferraghamo]

Is there no part 2 or am I blind

[@DangerGrey]

Unfortunately Part 2 got away from me as the project grew larger and larger, and my duties expanded leading Analytica and IRL, but it's nearly finished and a very special present to the AFK Community as a whole. Much more an "llustrated World History Book" than just a Part 2 at this point - that said, I'm working on releasing several short Lore videos each week now, ideally one or more per day, and I would LOVE to know what you were hoping to hear more about in Part 2 - if there is anything in particular!!! Also, without saying too much, I was VERY excited to discover the climax of Season 3 ended up proving basically all of my theories from this video about our Merlin (not that they weren't already proven, I suppose, but it is said explicitly there by a MASSIVE guest star whom I won't name!) -- I won't go into any detail beyond that, but it's a really great bit of source material lore they chose to use for the storyline in Chains of Eternity!! We finished it a couple weekends ago on my livestream on the Test Server, it's been up in livestream form as they all are, and will be edited down to a video form from me here soon as well. LMK what you'd like to know more about, and I will make a video on it this week!!!

[@henryscarhead6119]

for me AFK journey is a story of the Dimensional faction merlin and maybe King Arthur of Arena before afk arena.

[@DangerGrey]

Yeah but it’s not actually about him at all though- they paid me to tell the actual story of Journey!!!

[@riduke]

我是一个中国玩家，期待英文字幕，这样我就能用ChatGPT将字幕翻译成中文！

[@DangerGrey]

Hey my friend this is a great idea 💡 I will create them when I have time this weekend and will make sure to include them on the future releases. Thanks for your thoughtful suggestion - I will let you know when they are completed!!!

[@riduke]

@@DangerGrey thanks！

[@notting2640]

Could do with alot less meta commentary tbh. I came to hear about lore as someone who didn’t play Arena, not to hear snark every few seconds 😂

[@DangerGrey]

Trying to remember where there is snark in this one - definitely give me a time stamp if you feel so inclined, because you’re absolutely right!! but I thought I kept the meta commentary out of this one 😅

[@notting2640]

@@DangerGrey To me constantly making jokes = snark lol. Maybe I expected this video to be like a VaatiVidya video on Souls games, just pure info about the lore and not a joke/meta statement every few minutes. Don’t let me bring down your enthusiasm for the game tho, you seem very excited to share your knowledge and that’s a good thing!

[@taylorstokes101]

Yikes! We get it already, move on.
