My appearance curses mount rolls.

It's painful, but faster.

[@HaloVortex]

Keaton absolutely breaking down into silent wheezing interspersed by giggles was the highlight of this video.

[@Vassilinia]

For me it was the bit at the end where Soji tells Drak to suck it up and not cry about his mount luck. 😂

[@jeremyherttna8445]

Gave me happy Savannah memories from back in Stormblood and her laughing fit in O7S.

[@mudalaca01]

i'm so glad i managed to not spit my water cause holy shit that almost sent me

[@keaton_kiht]

The saga of me just being the NEST fuckin' squeaky toy continues XD Holy shit.

[@AlexHernandez-ar9ht]

Wheezey 2.0

[@andrewdesalvatore7262]

Keaton you seem nice/mellow, but then the wheezey bit just solidified it o/

[@VanessaVersus]

And god bless you for it

[@samuelbright5296]

Now I'm just picturing your characters cartoon face on a penguin body.

[@jijonbreaker]

@@AlexHernandez-ar9ht Aww, now I'm reminded of Savannah :(

[@MudDragon723]

You do realize we need to futher document this phenomena of Drak does not get any mounts by having more people fantasia to cosplay Drak. Gradually increase the number until the entire party is Drak and watch a blackhole appear and take away eveybody's existing mounts.

[@CryBlueofZ]

This must be studied

[@Croob22]

Keaton is a delight. It's always funny to see someone just lose it like that

[@AnnoyingSquib]

I love how Drak eventually becomes a tonberry because his grudge for mount farming and his abysmal rng is growing exponentially.

[@Xblazer755]

Lemur mentioned the story about her mom complaining about Lemur being a shut-in and that reminded me of how much my best friend and I used to joke about how much my mother hated that I played video games so much. For context, I am very much a homebody and only like to be at home playing video games. The only time I go out is with my best friend when he's doing shows or when there's a party. My mother always assumed he was a bad influence, but we used to always laugh and be like, "She should be happy that you're not out getting drunk and doing drugs!" She's been a bit more lenient with it now, but I think that's only because me playing video games hasn't hindered my career and she sees how successful I've been working in my field. Good times.

[@blobbocus4201]

Lemur and Keaton have slowly become my favorite members of Nest

[@DR4C44N]

Keaton with her hyper pitched wheeze...that made me cry laughing.

[@HiImSoji]

When in doubt, just don't be Drak.

[@zombiekitsune]

Wow, I DO fucking swear a lot huh?

[@shimada_1684]

It's a fun quality people wish they had

[@zombiekitsune]

@@shimada_1684 I am happy to teach :3 I even do bilingual swearing!

[@sniim]

Lemur is genuinely my favorite nest member, its a pleasure every time she's in a video

[@maxdean9205]

Your honor, my client, pleads, "I deserve a mount." There is no way he can be denied this simple right! Zodiark: "death"

[@Harrowing999]

I feel you on mount farming. I did that shit all through Shadowbringers and had to 99 4 of those dragons. I have no inclination on doing it this expansion. I got the Endsinger cat when trying to get weapons and I’m good Edit: OMG Keaton is the new squeaky toy of NEST. Every raid team needs one. Hopefully I can find one for mine so I quit being the squeaky toy

[@burningsilver]

Hey so I noticed watching while watching the Nier: Tower at Paradigms Breach video, at one point Lemur says "This is Pandeamonium", to which Choco replies "No, that's next raid tier". That video came out in April 2021. Pandaemonium wasn't announced until LL 67 on November 6 later that year. Choco is psychic (or I'm super wrong and failed to find any earlier announcements)

[@TheIvoryDingo]

As I said on the original upload, Lemur is an absolute blast. 😂

[@midoriemerald]

Drak's mount luck will never stop being both tragic and hilarious 😂😔

[@gamester512]

It's like my luck specifically with trying to get the Tank pants from Orbonne. I've run it probably close to 50 times and the Tank pants either don't drop at all or someone else gets it because I invariably roll low on Greed because I'm not the Tank. I only want those pants for glamour purposes, but I do not trust myself to be a competent Tank in Orbonne (since I'm much more accustomed to running it as a RDM, which is my main) as I've very rarely done runs of any sort as a Tank....I've done far more runs as a Healer than I have as a Tank, but even if you combine the total times I've done runs as both a Healer & Tank it would still be far fewer times than I've done runs as some form of DPS.

[@Lunar_Crescentfall]

I felt like that when I was spamming copied factory for that damn casting dress...

[@markup6394]

20:42 --- Guess there are some serious advantages of picking a cave over going outside XD XD XD

[@SaraAliciaCaster]

God i love keaton and lemur Lemur has that dry sense of humor that is just prefect and keaton, just bring her to laughter andnshe needs to be protected at all costs

[@DiligentD]

To Drak: you have a talent for finding amazing people that will always keep us entertained =) Will always love the videos and appreciate the work you put into them ^_^

[@Lorekeeper72]

Reupload Squad! Lets see how this ends. Will Drak maintain his sanity through the mount run? Probably not, should be a fun time.

[@BlazeDarks]

Drak's videos always make me happy and wished I had a group to do 8 man content with and could have this kind of back and forth with.

[@kylopen3706]

Drak on healer is amazing! It reminds me of when Jesse went healer in Eden

[@Sunari]

So basically identity theft didn’t pay out in this instance 😂

[@maximohernandez2168]

Finally, the complete version XD

[@Sebs-FFXIV]

20:25, that is literally what i told my parents, except the pregnant part since im a guy, but telling parents, grandparents, any relative really who were constantly telling me to go out more and play games less, i told them basically: "so instead of me, making friends, having fun, and learning a lot from internet, you want me to go out, party, drink while underage, smoke, use drugs and get girls pregnant? Which one do you prefer?" Never got any counter argument really, they just stopped saying that. parents and old people just dont understand or acknowledge what young people do now, i 100% rather stay home and play, rather than start drinking, smoking and use drugs

[@HalcyonRemnant]

This is a weird superpower but at least it's funny!

[@crystalgoddess4085]

Keaton losing it was just golden, especially the sonic frequency wheeze. In all seriousness though, everyone in that farming group is hilarious.

[@dexketristo2349]

Drak's salt was PALPABLE this video. xD

[@blufu8727]

20:24 ROFL That's exactly what I told my parents too.

[@deadnoobie2859]

Keaton has the most contagious laugh I love it.

[@ShivaServer2009]

This was very enjoyable and entertaining, Drak! Thank you very much for the length of footage. :) Much appreciated. Keaton breaking down reminded me of Savannah.

[@Sarah-iy5uj]

SOJI L'S ON THE KZbin FEED? THANKS

[@goldenxninjaxchick]

Keaton getting the giggles brings me life

[@ravenbloodfang]

Idk how many time i've rewatched this video but it still hadnt gotten old yet. 😊

[@projektlapis5172]

As someone with no group to mount farm, I fully understand Drak's pain :') Still missing 90% of ShB ones and all of EW, including even the clears, which makes it even harder to find a group despite knowing the fights through guides and stuff. The weapons, accs and mounts are cool, but even if a fight is fun, continously farming it can actually get super exhausting and it'd be very understandable if Drak decided to take a break from that for a while, imo Thank you for the video though, you guys are always a delight and put a smile on my face 💙

[@crystalgoddess4085]

At least you're doing better than I am when it comes to mount farming, I have ARR and HW done, only missing one mount for SB (Hells' Kier, ugh...) and have none from ShB or EW.

[@commander_swift3765]

IDK how anyone could dislike keaton, her laughs are absolutely hysterical

[@zee8590]

I can totally understand the desire not to go hard on mount farming next expansion. I went hard on it last expansion. Got the 100 totems I needed from diamond weapon in 2 days when it came out. I have completely ignored mount farming for the entirety of EW. Dawntrail, I might get back into it, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it this expansion.

[@SuperIchi]

This was fun to watch considering over the last couple months I've worked towards the Landerwaffe and finally a month and change ago I got it :D

[@fisherdotogg]

Here I thought the title referred to Drak's appearance as in his presence, his entering the instance. No, it was his physical appearance, or at least that of his character. RIP Soji-Drak

[@Hyperfling]

I feel your mount luck pain. I live your pain

[@Sab_Aria]

24:34 I literally fell out of my chair from laughing 😂 😂

[@AngelScolarus]

Cocktail recommendations? I think I have one while everyone was suffering (boss included) during Endsinger mount farming. ____From Hans, Moogle Mixologist____ "The Lootmaster" (aka vodka 'Gimme'-let) 2 parts [My] Precious vodka 1 part lime juice + simple syrup garnish: a lime 'loot' wheel * Shake ingredients vigorously with ice in a tin, imagining it's your monitor when the mount fails to drop after your 20th clear. * Strain into a cocktail glass. Serve well chilled; unlike its consumer.

[@DrD1sconnect]

25:35 Keaton just eeping to the other side. She's a delight.

[@Boyzby]

I've also been doing these fights the last month with someone who I started playing with-me getting all the gwibbers and she getting the cats. The biggest highlight for me, for sure, was in Emerald Weapon when I didn't understand where exactly people stood for the arrow thing, I was towards the middle and sniped her with it. She got so freaking mad at me, it was the most I probably have laughed in my life. If I could have recorded that, I would have that just ready to play at any time.

[@Desubricks]

Keaton is adorable, those giggles and squeaks were something else

[@KioriBug]

I haven't been around in a while and everyone sounds like they are having so much fun (sorry about the luck in mount drops!)

[@mannydani9180]

Seeing Drak not trust that 98 reminds me of when I farmed diamond weapon. First run I ever did, mount dropped and I rolled a 98...someone else got a 99. I ended up with 88 totems (44 runs) before i got the mount

[@m.a.dmatt6689]

Man Drak truly is going 'to the edge' here

[@Algol_Veilios]

Drak dressed as a Tonberry: Maybe the RNG Gods will not recognize me and I will get the good rolls.

[@dmj9798]

I had to get the 99 totems for Hades, Drak. I'm right there with you.

[@Ammy_Okami]

The snorts and wheezing while laughing is me as well

[@mazusagou1946]

Omg I just happened to be dogsitting while watching this and Sprocket had ignored every noice coming from my phone until that high pitched wheeze!

[@rdd567]

Looking back on this after doing Diamond for 50 times.

[@RyusparkX]

This video reminds me of when I was trying for Thordan EX's mount. Almost lost my sanity trying that fight over and over again. The constant wipes to the eye did not help either. (This was back when max was 70)

[@FluffyAbsol]

Drak has assumed his true form. Tonberry.

[@TyLeeslilsis]

"Actually don't tip her over. She can't get back up." XDDD

[@Hero361]

God this is why I wish I was in shadowbringers right now, those dragon mounts are at the top of my target list :c

[@seochis]

Wgoever said Keaton sounds annoying or w.e i'm gon need you to refer to the end of this video cause honestly that was so freaking adorable

[@142crystal]

I admittedly wish I had a group like NEST to get these mounts with, convincing my FC to try is like pulling wisdom teeth.

[@Sonicanimefan1]

I'm curious and almost afraid to ask how Lemur has heard a few of Keaton's noises.. the way she said that too.

[@keaton_kiht]

Hi yes! Lemur and I used to raid together. On top of being friends for over 2 years XD. But also :3 let your imagination run rampant

[@Someone-dv7hw]

Beginners/Returners luck exists. My first EX run of after being unsubbed for a year the mount dropped, I rolled a 96 and got it. Also of note: - I still had 588 gear, 20k hp less than my co-tank - throughout the evening I murdered a dd at least 3 times by virtue of being dead/not provoking after being dead and a tankbuster - the fc had 2 groups at it for 2 hours and my mount was the only one that dropped - it is a perfect sequel to my first ever EX run back in ShB cuz I also just joined the fc, floortanked the fight and got the mount while having no endgame gear😂

[@Mocita]

Drak, you really should’ve rolled on the weapons and weapon coffers. Desynth those to try and get the auracite since it sells for so much.

[@Talynn_Black]

Ahhh, it's back! Rather, the full render. Woo!

[@DXAshram]

It's videos like these that make me hope Sofie and Sam are doing well.

[@deathsythe238]

time to watch part 2 of the video

[@sunsage3754]

It's deja vu all over again!

[@stitches1110]

I spent every weekend for a month farming all the mounts from HW to SHB. I have zodiark but need to farm the other EW mounts.

[@samwilkinson9309]

Note to self, never even think of making a character that looks like Drak (Not that I would, I'm happy with mine as is)

[@maximillianleaf5997]

I doubt you will read this comment but I want you to know I like all the shenanigans you all get into and this video actually made my day so thank you.

[@guards1992]

Keaton has a cute voice and those laugh were extremenly fun haha

[@caniaantariksa6625]

I think you guys should do an experiment on the cosplay as Drak = getting the mount last thing. Do a fantasia run and see how the overall rate is :D

[@MercyTrident75]

Seeing WoL and Hades farms in this fight made me consider getting their gwibs soon lol never tried before Emerald is another one I need, but it's not the mount dropping that's the problem, it's the people doing the mechanics correctly xD

[@KonDragon008]

So this is what it looks like to slowly lose whatever is left of your sanity... Then again, I sort of quit mount farming (stopped after the 2nd Gweiber) because I was tired of it...and because there haven't been any farming parties up lately for it. PF is rough because people will constantly be coming and going, so you THINK that only two more people need the mount, and then the next thing you know a couple folks dip out and another two people come in who need the mount and it's a neverending cycle. Though honestly, Suzaku nearly broke me (I had 70 totems by the time I got the mount. I remember being in one group where it was one of the best groups I'd been in with how consistently we ran it...but the mount didn't drop once in ten runs and all of us just completely lost morale).

[@bigboi5507]

14:13 is the personification of the “Man” meme 😂

[@PlurpleHD]

Honestly, Keaton's cackle is very contagious. Idk how anyone could say anything mean about her 😆

[@spenj]

I miss Ms.Hydaelyn's fried rice

[@ksadiablo]

Keaton's laugh reminds me so much of Savannah. 😢

[@Kanetsuguru]

Im curious since I dont watch his streams does Drac not like farming or has he truly just been bent over that hard? 💀

[@benwolfe9858]

FYI Drak, you don't actually NEED the mounts.

[@TheDaxter11]

I lost a fucking 94 roll on this fight to some ass who got a *_95._* I'm at 71 totems and no mount.

[@Eldritch_Panda31]

Ive lost more than one mount on a 98 roll and it still angers me. Im waiting to lose a roll on a 99 with my luck.

[@lanteanboy]

now we know how Drak can get mounts first try. He just needs to not be Drak.

[@MerlinCross13]

I kinda like the chibi forms the other guys have.

[@bigsmiley713]

great vid!!

[@charizardkiller7038]

does keaton stream ? or do any youtube stuff ?

[@keaton_kiht]

I do not! However, I am currently being persuaded to make an attempt to do so in the future!

[@BadV00d00z]

I had close to 300 for zodark that was before you could vendor it

[@sirnonsense5033]

Don’t worry drak. U might not have mount luck or with getting clipped by aoes and ure teammates constantly try to kill u… I forgot where I was going. Ähm just think positive.

[@dragonspirit996]

Oh my god someone else that laughs like me! XD

[@joekupec7893]

God i did this but on titania it took me 99 times and the worse part o got it on 99 so i have 99 token that i cant do shit with

[@PokeBattlerJaze]

I got to agree with Drak on this one, mount farming is ass

[@mylestoby2]

3rd times the charm. and what a charm it is :D

[@sero-ice7987]

FIRST :D

[@Hikari2Yami]

... first?

[@coconosuga5351]

Edit: oh it's cos you do have it. I just assumed you still didn't, my b. --- I know it's not what's happening, but because of the avatars blocking the numbers and if you're hitting need or greed on the loot box , half the time it looks like you're passing on the mount or leaving before everyone rolls out of habit 😂
