The END of 5.3 | Grinding Gear Reacts to Shadowbringers Patches

Kryle taking that bite, immediately getting that " nope." Look on her face has always made me giggle.

[@serisothikos]

Pixel-perfect 😐 face.

It's the best looking absolutely gods-awful bread that has ever existed

[@Lordoftheapes79]

@@EternaltheGrey I find people also tend to forget that its made with fish guts too 😙

[@EternaltheGrey]

@@Lordoftheapes79 I actually went into that in some detail back in the video where Archon Loaf was first introduced- I'm a cooking school teacher, so I took the time to break it all down :3

[@Puddingskin01]

What's worse is of all people she should know exactly what that bread was. She had to live around that stuff.

[@EternaltheGrey]

Captain Lyna's final message is suspiciously close to what Beq Lugg quoted of the Exarch's musings from earlier. Somebody was eavesdropping... The Rising Stones sequence, too, is beautiful in its simplicity. The Scions are very much a family, and this lets them take a moment to act like a proper family. Honesty, comfort, trust, a little good-natured teasing (From Urianger of all people! How much he's grown!), and a fond welcoming home to one they thought lost, as though he were never truly gone at all. I'm reminded of the last lines of Slayers. To paraphrase: "They say the road to dreams and adventure is endless." "Well, if it's not, there'll be trouble from me!"

[@akritos546]

It's great that minfillia's words from ARR came true. The WoL did come to think of the scions as family

[@natebroadus8474]

Fandaniel, by himself, added an incredible new dimension to the Ascian lore. Through him, we learn that the Unsundered (Lahabrea, Elidibus and Emet-Selch) were the ones that wanted the Rejoining. Without them to serve as a buffer, you have a bunch of unknown people gifted incredible power with nobody left to keep them in check. There is no way Fandaniel is the last of the sundered Ascians we'll meet. That said, who is to say they're all crazy and evil?

[@kittycatzuka]

For those who don't know, Urianger's bit with the cards, and him being an AST in general, is the devs making a callback to his JP voice actor, KENN, who got his big break voicing Jaiden Yuki in Yu-Gi-Oh! GX

[@Lordoftheapes79]

Needless to say, we did a lot of snickering every time you guys brought up Asahi 😂

[@KyrialArthian]

I'm sure you guys have already figured it out by now, but just in case: black-masked Ascians are just underlings of no importance whatsoever. Cannon fodder, if you will. The only Ascians that actually matter are the red-masked ones. They are the former members of the Convocation of Fourteen, and if not for the Sundering, all of them would be equal. However, Lahabrea, Emet-Selch, and Elidibus were not Sundered, and so they were the leaders, who went out and found the fragmented souls of the former Convocation members and gifted them memories of their time on the Convocation (via those crystals you collected and gave to Elidibus after defeating him). As such, there are thirteen of them (as you, the player, are the sundered version of Azem, the fourteenth). Besides Lahabrea, Elidibus, and Emet-Selch, you met Nabriales (killed in 2.5), Igeyorhm (killed at the end of 3.0), and have heard mention of Loghrif and Mitron (the duo originally sent to the First, to cause the Flood of Light), and now met Fandaniel. There was actually another involved in Eureka apparently, though I've not gotten far enough in that storyline myself to have met her. That's only nine of them, though Gaius apparently killed a few off-screen, which may account for the rest.

[@tranquilb6399]

Gaius is shown with 2 red masks on his belt so that leaves 2 more unaccounted for. There are also 3 Ascians involved in the unlocking of the hard mode trials of ARR but i can't remember for the life of me if they are all black masks or if one of them is red or how their involvement in that arc ends because i don't remember them dying. (I think they are all black masks working for Lahabrea)

[@gateauxq4604]

Yes they are all black masks.

[@saulmadrid9950]

I don't know if anyone else felt the same way I did during Alisae's conversation Alphinaud. I felt it was somewhat meta, like breaking the fourth wall a bit. It made me laugh more than normal. Same thing happened during the intro to Shadowbringers and our conversation with the merchant. His joke about not having a dark night for 100 years. I took that as not having a DRK, and behold which job is front and center of the title card?

[@cparle87]

5:38 Remember when you said that you wished Lyna and G'raha's farewell was voice acted? Well, this isn't that, but I think it's just as good a moment. 8:45 Damn bunny girl, making me cry my own tears. 13:09 The most terrifying phrase in all of FFXIV. 16:04 Beqqy needs to work on their bedside manner. Gotta have one more reminder that fae don't operate on the same morality as mortals do. 18:12 Krile's figured it out. 20:10 I love how they have us look over our shoulder as the doors close in the exact same way G'raha did. Alisaie is such a mood. Grumpy that she hasn't changed jobs since Heavensward. 28:10 I love how they repeat the speech from the end of 5.0. In that one G'raha couldn't go through the portal and was still separated from us. In this one we run off side by side. So sweet. 31:12 And now you know what all the snickering was about. 35:10 "For the final chapter in the tale of this star." I always get goosebumps from this part.

[@jamib7970]

There are 14 different masks & glyphs that identify the major Ascians (former seats of the Convocation of Fourteen) This ties back to the FFXII espers they are lifted from. Yes, please enjoy that the sundered Ascians, including the least weasel, that remain are free to follow their own designs without the Unsundered to rein them in.

[@Adu767]

G'raha is scientifically concentrated endearment. He's simply too much.

[@Lordoftheapes79]

Copyright claim? That's bogus.

[@Jemstoness]

They should fight it

[@Cyraneth]

Copyright claims should be fully transparent, so viewers will know who the money goes to when they watch a video, and who the greedy pigs are.

[@Lordoftheapes79]

@@Cyraneth mostly agreed. While I agree with your argument, there are other consequences to consider. That said, FFXIV music is largely protected by SE and I am unaware of anyone else having a claim this late into the game. I think the claim is bogus.

[@darrensanderson1031]

@@Lordoftheapes79 It would *have* to be bogus. SE would own the copyright, and there's no way a *COVER ARTIST* could have a legit claim to music literally playing straight from the game's client.

[@Lordoftheapes79]

@@darrensanderson1031 not so much the artist as much as the studio/production company/agency they work for. It happens all the time. I think the Bahamut rendition of Answers fell into this. There was some hubbub a few years back about it. Yoshi-P hated that streamers were getting hit with it and made sure it wouldn't happen again.

I still remember doing this at like 5AM and balling my eyes out at the cutscene with everyone leaving the first. It just hit me so hard i lost it for a good 10 minutes. This is one of the best moments in all the game.

[@adjwindu70]

25:18 he's wagging his tail!

[@RyushiroK]

"How do we know who is who?" I like to think that canonically, our character has items descriptions in their inventory, like we do. xD

[@adjwindu70]

That makes sense. We are the warrior of light. We can travel to diffrent realities to join fellow WoLs in dungeons and the like. Why wouldn't we have an identity item skill? Is just a passive one.

[@akritos546]

It *is* pretty much canon that our character is the one writing all the puns, quest text, and goofy item descriptions

[@redgeoblaze3752]

Well, the echo lets us see attacks before they happen, and see what the name of those attacks are. It's not out of the realm of possibility that it also gives us that kind of extrasight.

[@lathyrusloon]

@@redgeoblaze3752 It _is_ described as the ability to "peer past the walls of the soul" or somesuch, yeah? We probably just vibed it. It's either that or post-its.

[@Norbert_Sattler]

Shouldn't all their equipment and clothing just fall to the floor, since it's only their souls that get put into the vessels? :P Apart from the riches of his family, Asahi was also well known to be a fanatical follower of Zenos, so him hanging around his lord all the time won't raise any eyebrows. G'Raha might be a cat-boy, but he's a puppy at heart. ^^

[@Zendelxex]

Why was that part of the live stream hit by a copyright claim?

[@Jemstoness]

Someone is making up that they sang the opera part of the shadowbringers theme

[@pedroscoponi4905]

Basically, some studio/music publishing website somewhere owns a music cover of that song and attempted to claim the original as copyright infringement on the video. Disputing those claims can be a huge hassle, and take a lot of time (and money, in some cases). So it's easier to just get the video out and cut that bit. :/

[@greatgoatsby3068]

Dude a COVER artist gave ya'll a copyright claim? That's insane.

When they bring up the Miquote claw hands makes me embarrassed, because I legit have claw hands and didn't know that was not a thing
