Pyromancer Meets The FFXIV Community...

Something I enjoyed seeing on your streams during your note-taking and theory crafting segments is that you show attention and curiosity to the smaller details of FFXIV's lore and world-building; its internal usage of its own terminology, symbology e.t.c. In turn it creates the type of audience centered around it, resulting in new perspectives or outlook that even a years-long player like me have missed or not been aware of. An example occurred in your stream when your chat noted how the arena of Coils of Bahamut's final fight resembled a Phylogenetic tree; a revelation that clicked many thematic links of the raid fight's context within FFXIV's setting. I'm thankful for you engaging the game on that level, as there aren't that many content creators in FFXIV at the moment that focuses around it, and I look forward to see your contributions, theory-crafting and perspective on that matter.

[@vivitarax]

he was one of the best WoW loremasters, its no surprise he knows his stuff. super excited to see him come to the deeper levels of the game, SPECIALLY shadowbringers.

[@gawin_caskey]

Dear Pyromancer, if you love Lore, i want to say that, every dungeon have their own full story, even the NPC you saw outside of dungeon could be a next lore of the hard version. Just like how my mind blown by Satasha, Tam-tara Deepcroft (hard) and Palace of the death story line. How even little thing at the start of our entrance to first dungeon can lead to such massive things.

[@sebastiangodoyortiz2840]

Even some job quest abord some lore of difrents dungeons, like ninja with sastasha, schollar and warderer palace, etc. Everything is conected, and when he hits shb i'm sure his mind Will blow up

@@jijonbreaker yea I agree, but tbh I’m so done with collecting 3 red leaves and delivering it to npc a so I can talk to npc b to collect 3 more yellow leaves so I can then unlock the ultimate green leaf so I can then talk to npc c to finally unlock a 30 second cutscene, so as soon I saw something like that in shadowbringers I’m already annoyed lol

[@Yuwteck5037]

2:45 , if you look closely you will see that the bolt that hit the dragon is actually a few dragoon performing a "Jump" on the dragon, dragoon basically focusing their magic power to boost their jumping power and plunge down from high to pierce a dragon's neck and attempt to kill or ride them

[@kou7191]

Which is funny because, not counting Estinien or the rather unrelated job quests, not a single other dragoon appears during the msq, not even in the battle against Nidhogg himself

[@deepdarksecretful]

So basically, a ride or die? 😆

[@egirlSkeletor]

It took a year for me to notice that lol

[@ChipotleKanetsu]

@@kou7191 also they mistakingly used hraes model for nidhogg lol

[@viltures]

@@kou7191 there is an npc (either in dragoon quest line or in knight's headquarters, I don't remember) who tells you that there are only around ten dragoons left in active service and all of them spread thin all across Coerthas and that is why they are absent (and we can actually see one of them during FATE in Coerthas Western Highlands) Maybe that's why besides Estinien (and Mr. Butt in CWH FATE) not a single other dragoon makes an appearance (still funny though how we hadn't seen hide nor hair of them since the beginning of HW and until the very end)

[@rikiba851]

Remember in legion, that star that you thought was getting bigger in the sky? I was there with you man, I wanted to believe so much. I didn't know at that time, even though i'd already started playing ff14, that they literally did that in 1.0. For someone who gets invested in lore as much as you, you will be paid back in spades for that investment in ff14. I'm excited for you, I have a feeling you're going to love where this journey leads.

[@qwertyuiop3656]

This is where the story starts to get good! Also, everything else starts to improve too from now on, from raiding to level design. Have fun!

[@semiramisubw4864]

To be fair, i kinda liked ARR story alot, actually i enjoyed ARR more than HW ( did it before quest deletes). ARR and HW basically builds the world after it for any coming expansion.

[@Dotoku14]

I loved the ARR story. It was slow and world building, exactly what an MMO needs to start out with.

[@gLobbZ]

ARR and HW are the "foundation" for an amazing game.. HW is STILL my favorite expansion

[@TheGiraffe1894]

But in my opinion stromblood’s story is really disappointing. I liked arr and loved hw but sb didn’t hold me, after everything I have done I don’t feel like I have achieved anything, just started the ShB hopefully it won’t be the same case

Anonymoose is probably just as if not more informed on the lore than ethys but he doesn’t stream or make videos or anything. Can’t wait to see your lore speculation videos.

@@Zantetsudex coming from a game like wow with interesting enough lore, just horrendous ways of telling it, being in an environment like FF14 that allows for that immersion and storytelling...you soak it up.

[@Asiankido]

there is a group of individuals that are starting to release lore videos on pretty much anything related to Eorzea. The group is called LoreLines, and their YT channel name is the same (as well as their twitch channel) They cover everything from the creation of the Eorzea world and the previous Umbral calamities, as well as the lore from shadowbringers, the past ancient civilizations, etc, etc. Granted a lot of their videos are over an hour long, but they know their stuff. I recommend checking them out if you want to look at some more lore videos.

[@coltiskool]

Welcome to heavensward brother! No one believed us but we stuck with the game through thick and thin and now we are just excited to share it with others. Can’t wait for your take on the lore!

[@adamosborne9440]

I just wanted to say that I am SO glad to have you with us. Your heartfelt insight into the issues with Blizzard/WoW really hit home for me, as someone who played that game for 10 years. FF14 became my new "home" MMO, and I never looked back.. because I finally found a game that respected my time.

[@Sylencer1982]

[@Smallville619]

Just thought I would say hi and loving the fact how deep you are going into the lore theres a wealth of FFXIV Lore in the game, as well as streams that have occured, the two FFXIV Encyclopedias are an amazing addition you will need and I know square are re releasing them. I have had the honor to talk to Banri Oda and Koji Fox in interviews and they are lovely and will be so happy to see how much you are taking in. I hope your journey Into XIV is rich and full of lore, hype and excitement and last of us welcome to the game and this community!

[@midnightbloomofeorzea7182]

The cool thing about the Encyclopedias are that they aren't "needed", as the game actually puts everything important in the game lol. It's great for extra flavor though!

[@thetrueoromis]

FFXIV is one of the best games at, not only foreshadowing and hinting at future content, but also explaining / coming through with said content whether it be 2 quests later or 2 expansions later. All I'll say is, you're going to need more notebooks.

[@Dubble77D]

That FF player who asked "this doesn't happen in WoW?" is definitely blissfully ignorant that two years after the game was released, a funeral being held in-game for an actual person who died was raided by the opposing faction. There definitely were epic raids on faction cities, but if you tried to actually do anything wholesome in the game, there'd be 100 people ready and willing to ruin it. Not sure if it was like that on RP servers, but yeah. See you in Endwalker

[@erickelley1680]

That happened on the server I was on when I first started playing... the guild that did that was completely blacklisted.

[@chadhardt6136]

I guarantee you if final fantasy had PVP servers the exact goddamn same thing would happen here. I've been playing final fantasy 14 since 1.0, and quit wow with warlords of draenor. I'm no wow apologist. But you're blatantly just fucking wrong if you think final fantasy XIV players are any better at all.

[@chadhardt6136]

@@SokiHime ^... i love the community but at this point, i feel that shills forget that people in ffxiv are assholes too, but they can't get away with it since SE takes action fast if you cross the line. the only saving grace of FFXIV is that the team behind it cares a lot about the people playing it, and wpvp isn't a thing...

[@firalia]

Wow. It's tradition in FFXIV to hold funerals and come together to honour fallen Warriors of Light and people involved in FFXIV's development. When the campfire minion was added, people started lining up in major cities with the minions to honour people who died in the months following. They were handing them out in abundance for free so people could join it. It's basically a tradition to do that now. Something people like doing for players is tours of all the zones too. Players will band together in a train of people that walk through all the zones as a walk in honour of the person's memory.

[@clurin]

Saw you on MogTalk with Anonymoose and then had this pop up. It's so much fun watching other people experience a game I've loved so much, and after seeing you on MogTalk, I look forward to hearing your thoughts and theories on the lore of XIV! Maybe we'll see you with Ethys one day too! Welcome and enjoy your stay!!

[@APmime]

These "welcome to the expansion" parades/celebrations get more involved & elaborate as time goes on. All Jesse Cox got was like 2 lines, 20 to a side, leading to ARR's final quest turn in. This is something else entirely

[@ChaosBlade41]

I walked up to Ishgard a fugitive accused of regicide. There were definitely no welcomes on my way to the city, aside from that of Haurchefant's.

Note that this trailer song isn't by Uematsu, it's by Soken. Uematsu only composed 4 tracks in the Heavensward OST, one of which is Dragonsong (which does introduce one of HW's biggest leitmotifs). Uematsu is a legend, but Soken is responsible for like 95% of the music in ARR forward. Uematsu had minimal involvement and songs credited to him in 2.x tend to be 1.x tracks reintroduced.

[@LunaMirage]

If you want to play through the story, I'd say that you'd only spend about 5-10% of your time doing actual gameplay. There is roughly 49 hours of voice acted story cut scenes, probably 150-200 hours of reading. 15-20 hours of running around. Then probably about 30 hours of mandatory gameplay via dungeons, trials, and etc. About 2/3rd of the voice acted content is in the last 2 expansions.

[@Aquilenne]

How is the Star Wars gameplay? I heard good things about it way back, but it seems like information has kind of dried up in recent years.

[@SimplyConeh]

@@Aquilenne Swtor is somewhere between WoW and FFXIV. Not quite as fast as wow, but they share a lot of similar archetypes and they have classes with varying amounts of preplanning, micro or game knowledge. There's an upcoming expansion that will update some of the gameplay and removing many class restrictions (essentially cutting your choice down to faction, force or tech and favorite voice actor) I could ramble on forever, but if you have any interest, I'd recommend you give it a try - free accounts are able to go through the class stories and you can get a decent idea of the gameplay at 50. Even though it's under EA, I think it's the best subscription model of current MMOs, but I'm obviously biased :)

[@SimplyConeh]

@@LunaMirage I got about half way through the ARR patch stuff and just kept logging in, watching a cutscene for a fetch quest or speak to x npcs and just couldn't. I know people say that it gets better, but I just didn't enjoy my time at all - except a short lasting glimmer, switching from warrior to red mage, but the rotation style gameplay doesn't appeal to me and tanking (my default at this point) is excruciatingly boring (no real player agency as far as I could see)... I seem to ramble a bunch right now, so I'll just say that I would prefer to play something I enjoy, while getting some insight into FFXIV lore through a third party :)

Pyro - this right here is your reward for the hell you’ve been through outside of this epic world. Congrats on HW. Can’t wait to watch your experience through this expansion. Buckle up because it only gets better from here

Welcome to our community sir. It may not be perfect ... but it's home to anyone willing to come join :) I look forward to your Heavensward reactions. It makes me glad to see you so happy again. -Reina (Ultros)

As someone who just beat heavensward, it was incredible watching your reaction be the same as mine throughout it all! This expansion blew my mind.

[@kipicbloud]

God's, Rich, Asmon, and now Pyro, though there have been many more streamers have gotten this Heavensward send off. It's like the FFXIV community saying as one, "Welcome to your new home, enjoy the trip"!

[@hqyang6193]

As a fellow warrior of light, I wish you a merry adventure and all of us shall see you in Sharlyan!!!

I just finished Heavensward, Such a great story. this game blows wows story out of the water. Like i get it wow isn't a story based game like FFXIV but it just feels WoW struggles in the gameplay as well.

[@khronick3596]

As someone who doesn’t have the patience to read the entire story and all quests logs. I can say everything about this game is better than wow. I’m a lvl 62 samurai and have been having an absolute blast.

Man, if you think HW blows WoW out of the water just wait for Shadowbringers xD

[@sockmonkey3393]

@@Iybraesil i know im taking my time with it. I think im still technically in HW not to sure though

[@BottledDelusion]

I wished I hadn’t tried to rush through heavenward but I wanted to get through story fast as possible not realizing how long it would take for me to still not be done and I feel like I rushed the part of the game that appealed to me most (almost done with shadowbringers keep hitting gear gate keeping)

[@khronick3596]

@@Iybraesil that’s what I keep hearing. I can’t wait to see it!

Was so amazing to be watching this stream and witnessing Pyro's reaction 💜

[@mr.mystere4999]

Welcome to Heavensward!!! Congratulations, but you have to go back to Camp Dragonhead and talk to Alphinaud so you can enter Ishgard. You haven't seen anything yet. Your journey has only just begun!

[@manip1980]

I know how you feel dude. Coming from wow, seeing this... It's just unbelievable.

[@KopeAcetic]

VERY excited to see you get into HW! Congratz pyro!
