The Fall & Rise of FFXIV | Episode Nine | Prosperity

[@Blast486]

I've never seen that "What we have learned" slide. It's a really beautiful image coming from the future - you know that wasn't just a load of PR bullshit, it was actually true. They sticked to it. Yoshi-p is really an amazing game director.

[@NameatiSpin]

Holy shit can it be? A new fall and rise on a day like this? What a treat :D

[@PowerArmorV113]

It's like all my namedays have come at once.

[@MunitionsDudTester]

THROW WIDE THE GATES!

[@TaniDraws]

Huh, I'd been confused during the shift from Waking Sands to Rising Stones how revenant's toll kept being referred to as bare and desolate while it was a nice little town. Now I know!

[@Naixatloz]

Ohh, now the bit about the Domans doing work in Revenant's Toll makes sense!

[@Bluelyre]

I really loved how revenant's toll and Idyllshire evolved throughout arr and heavenward. I rarely went to the reach because it lacked that.

[@chelseys5192]

Except after that one quest where it got sacked, then it went right back to how it was :(

[@Null_Experis]

FYI, Revenant's Toll also had another minor recent expansion due to them adding flight into ARR zones. Walls and walkways have been built up to give the town more vertical eye candy for fliers, but mostly to act as physical barriers to flying over the mountains into Coerthas.

[@Mocita]

What a perfect time to release this. Right before Shadowbringers to help explain more of the history of XIV. Thank you for your work in making this.

[@Desmuu]

If only the FFXIV community knew the flood coming their way with the sinking of wow

[@Mocita]

@@Desmuu Oh, we know. And we are always happy to see others joining us. I mean, servers have been congested in almost every US Data Center. But that will hopefully be resolved once Square Enix can get the things they need.

[@1jidion]

also, watching revenants toll grow from just a hole in the ground, was fantastic, i didnt seen it at first, i had to look twice, "did RT change between this and this patch?" but watching it grow through the patches was amazing

[@samraines6966]

Last time I was this early the Scions still had two lalafells in their ranks... ...Now they barely have ranks.

[@CF-qb2cg]

to soon D:

[@shiroalter8975]

Oof

[@MunitionsDudTester]

Lulw

[@MunitionsDudTester]

@0ddMonk3y wow... lol

[@SaigaTenshi]

@0ddMonk3y if i remember its Tataru and Papalimo?

[@Akhelium]

Maintenance pre- ShB and you upload a new fall and rise video? I love you. That corpse blue tho ... didn't expect that, well played.

[@Cyrikyty]

Now this is how you pass the time waiting for Shadowbringers to go live. I approve.

[@Icy-nee-san]

Truely you guys are a light shining in the darkness that is 24 hour maintenance

[@MunitionsDudTester]

M- must.. Thow wide.. THE GAAAATEESSSSSS!

[@7moody771]

Watching this In the 5.55 Maintenance XD

[@Razielts1]

Damn dude this is so well made it looked like a documentary from a tv channel

[@JonathanWagner]

PERFECT day to choose the release! I was just asking myself when it was coming out, and was getting ready to re-watch the rest (and still might!). :D

[@nordiclania]

Hooray! Finally a new episode! And just before early access for Shadowbringers. Thank you for making the wait a little easier. ❤️

[@Jargon.5]

The corpse blue part killed me xDD

[@yaminolotus6714]

The Legend is true after all O: Episode 9 exist!!!

[@Shadethewolfy]

I'm still waiting for Episode 11 lol

[@jnesis555]

I admire the amount of work devoted to the creation of this video and prior videos. Bravo!

"you may ever walk... (uncomfortable silence) ...in the light... ...of the cristal"

[@pelituokiotv9118]

Always a joy to revisit the memories through this series, Thanks. Keep it up 😉🍺

[@Demthorshie]

Just subscribed. I watched all 9 episodes today and look forward to an episode 10 in the future. This series really makes one appreciate and respect Square Enix for its dedication to this game and love of the fans. They really poured their everything in to perfecting this game. I remember the 1.0 days, it brings tears to my eyes to see how far FFXIV has come since then.

[@VentuSora]

Love the series, some fantastic information and great editing. I HAVE to watch it at 1.5 speed though, some of the slowest narration I have ever heard

[@SwizzlyBubbles]

I JUST got done binging this series, and you just up and gave us a new one!? Goddamn man, way to make the wait for ShadowBringers that much more amazing!

[@mattstansbeary3068]

See you in a Year for Episode 10. Really hope it's sooner.

[@Chamira]

Yay another episode! Kinda sad I didn't get to see the progress of Revenants Toll but I'm glad there are some pictures of it!

[@caveman3461]

I am whole glad that I no longer have to grind to level 50 to unlock glamour as well as wholly glad that all glamour prisms are consolidated into one kind now, nor do I have to possess a level 50 crafter to craft prisms of any grades, the glamour system really upgraded since back when I first started

[@xFinalStarx]

I've always wondered why they always talked about how small Revanents Toll is when it looks pretty bit!

[@g0ld3sun]

I left a critical comment on the second episode of the series and decided to come back on the final episode to compliment how much better you’re writing and delivery has gotten. The problems I had with your first few episodes are irrelevant. Nice work man! Was a fun watch.

[@kimberlystreeter4875]

This episode made me realize when exactly it is I first started playing. I had it in my mind I hadn't started playing until near Heavensward, but, seeing those glamour prisms is triggering and I realized "Holy shit I've been playing since near the beginning." I've always loved these videos from you all, but this was the first time here nostalgia slapped me over the head. XD I'm really glad to see this, especially a day before a whole new expansion hits. Thank you so much for making these!

[@mazzalnx]

Did not think ep9 existed! I was wrong! :O And now I'm happy :D

[@InimicusSolitus]

A great series of videos, with some information and images i had never seen before. Awesome work!

[@bswift1991]

Pushing this out when you know we have literally nothing else to do but be hype for Shadowbringers on KZbin. Good game sir. Couldn't come at a better time either. The release date of this patch is when I first started playing the game on PS4. I play on pc now but I had a blast with the game on PS4 in its first year or two.

[@usoxmob1]

Corpse blue.😂🤣

[@Rissien]

Oh wow! I wasnt expecting this series to continue! Nice little treat on the eve of Early Access for Shadowbringers!

[@lysandriah8290]

EARLY ACCESS FOR SHADOWBRINGERS IS TOMORROW I'M SO INCREDIBLY HYPED

[@azadalamiq]

its actually only in a few hours.

[@RyldsGirl]

Mmmm I remember when I used to make bank on Grade 5 clothcraft glamour prisms lol

[@metalthrashingmatt]

I love the glamour system....now its one resource!

[@Boyzby]

I still think about the original glamour system pretty often, because I have a grade 4 goldsmithing prism on an alt. As terrible as it was utilizing glamours, I made a good amount of gil selling the skin and the cloth used for the leatherworking and weaving ones, since those were the most commonly used.

[@KGrooveBlanka]

I've missed these so much!

[@bunnyluve]

Nice visual gag with the Corpse Blue paint.

[@Sully6891]

Now just don't take 9 months to give us Ep 10. I love this series, it's why I subbed to begin with. Enjoy ShB, I probably won't be playing it for a while

[@PurityStarMusic]

YES! I love your series

[@KumaKaori]

7:18, Ah yes. The True Final Boss of FFXIV. FASHION~.

[@MrNanukes]

8:36 Oh look it’s the Seven Chaos Emeralds.

[@shirox11]

I loved how Revenants toll evolved. Idyllshire also changed throughout HW. I kinda miss the evolving endgame zones. I also forgot just how tedious glamour was back then. I made so much gil crafting prisms. I know 1.0 relics are famous for being a brutal grind compared to today, but some steps like Atma where really brutal especially if you had horrendous rng.

[@Erisscarlet]

I remember rev back in the day, ah memories.

[@wherewerewegaming3885]

ahhh watching this make me love the game more! btw I just started playing it last month :D and I'm having a blast!

[@hitchhikergaming8748]

This whole series I'm thinking "it looks miserable but I kinda wish I was there." And then I get to the 3005 different glamour prisms and am thankful I never messed with that.

[@Taikomo]

I started the game on literally the last day of 2.1. That meant I spent my levelling days wondering why everyone kept yelling for Atma parties in the overworld zones. All I knew about Atma at the time was form FF6. Oh, how naive I was.

[@darthrok8417]

Juho Penttilä haha, I remember the same thing. I remember people shouting for Atma parties and I was like, oh shit we fight atma?

[@DrForester]

I still hold out hope that someday they will edit the glamour system to work like FFXI, where you can equip any gear on any job (only requirement was you had to have a job that could wear it). Example. You had a 70 SMN and a 50 SAM, you could glamour any 1-50 SAM equipment on your Summoner.

[@Starfloofle]

Please. Gear restrictions are so stupid for glams. Plus the lategame crafter gear looks way too nice to be locked to crafters.

[@Kanetsuguru]

Holy shit I legit forgot revenants toll looked different at the start of ARR that brings alot of memories back

[@Bllackwatch]

way to remind me of the nightmare of the old glamour prysms

[@ioan_jivan]

"History is learned, not lived", but man, some of this history, like Revenant's Toll...

[@brentstar323]

Wow yea I only started playing a few months ago and had no idea about Revenant's Toll while I was playing 2.x. on one hand that's awesome that the town grew over the patches especially considering the MSQ at that time but on another it sucks new players like myself don't get to experience that growth while playing through the 2.x MSQ.

[@craigwilde2162]

Didn't know about Revenant's Toll's construction, but then I only started playing during HW.

[@psenkdead]

Your voice sounded like ARR Thancred, and I love it.

[@Kitsune10060]

yay!! at the part in the history of the game where I can say. "and this is where I joined the game." though it was closer to the end of 2.2 then the beginning. Also, I remember that Glamor system. I do not miss it at all. though I can't say I have any memory of the Atma phase of Relic, as I never really bothered with relic weapons, till Heavensward anyway, and even then only for my Dark Knight and cause I had fuck all else to do till Stormblood. In ARR's case, I just had to much other shit to do to full get my footing. Like figuring what Job is was actually gonna play. (which imeaditately got kicked in the head in Heavensward when Dark Knights became a thing.)

[@NagatoFan1]

I'll gladly watch this in the last half hour before FFXIV Shadowbringers.

[@melphina2720]

awesome video guys keep up the great work

[@SubduedRadical]

I feel like the worst thing about the Atma Relic step is the reward for all of it is REMOVING THE GLOW for the weapon. Worse, it was followed by the Book step, which ALSO took forever, meaning you were stuck with the non-glowing weapon forever. And even worse, for some Jobs, the change wasn't even noticeable. I didn't even realize (WHM at the time) that the color had changed until MUUUUUCH later when I eventually did Atma on SCH and saw the book change color from white to black (which was more noticeable). It was so depressing my WHM Relic (the only one I had at that level) stayed only a handful of books complete until ShB when I finally went back and seriously got into Relic farming. I can always say I did the Relic steps up to that when they were relevant, but my god, that step was just SO depressing, especially on WHM. T_T

[@jedimasterpickle3]

Can someone remind me what "technical debt" means? I know Lukille explained it in some previous episode, but I'd honestly forgotten this series existed.

[@insertcognomen]

was weaving called clothcrafting before??? Also can't believe this video series is still going strong

[@ludalfa]

Now i await the next rise and fall video

[@ArmageddonEvil]

Hope it doesn't take a year. XD

[@ShakeyMac18]

I had friends who quit the game over the Atma step. One guy farmed Upper La Noscea for about a dozen hours over the course of three days, then uninstalled and didn't come back until halfway through HW.

[@pandorabox6508]

Oh my god, it's back

[@turntapeover5749]

Man the old glamour prism system was so convoluted xD

[@nips781]

I never realized Revenants Toll was being “rebuilt” as they were dropping different patches. :( Stupid me.

[@darklordkuro7953]

I was wondering why the leader of revenant toll didnt stop speaking about building the town and how the doman helped out but never seeing anything beieg constructed Now i know why

[@やぶさおびなた]

I was alreadywondering what the grade glamour prisms was. When I was new 6 months ago I was dying to figure how to get the more 'rare' prisms... never got my hands to it... :(

[@sdfwassdw9267]

one of the best series!!

[@HeavyMetalGamingHD]

A good video to watch, while the servers are down.

[@TreacherousTetrisTerrorist]

Wow, it felt like ages... Wait, it was.

[@LazyDayForever12]

My atma quest was in southern thanalan, still hate that place to date, took me about 3 days before it dropped

[@Myrtneough]

Atma being mentioned sent me into an immediate ptsd fit.

[@ShivaServer2009]

Corpse blue lol nice emote touch.

[@kiitsuke]

I just want to paste that "what we have learned" slide in every Blizzard desktop to see if they get it somehow. Like that slide is literally all the opposite of what they're doing lmao

[@Cadiangrunt99]

While we wait for Shadow Bringers we get a new ep?! WOOT

[@MunitionsDudTester]

Ahhh atma farming.. The only time I've had good luck in this game lmao

[@sebastiancintron29]

I just got done with watching the series again and here you are with part 9. Coincidence? I THINK NOT But seriously though, this is awesome

[@eosfischer]

Literally found this series today and just finished watching it myself too, like 20 minutes ago! Great timing!

[@barinelg]

I still get thrown off by the current look of Revenant's Toll. I still expect it's earliest, simpler look. Not a knock at all, but funny it has stuck with me for so long.

[@frankharrison7809]

Love the series... you know I wish they had the old RT was progression locked they got the old RT at first and as they progressed they unlock what we did while trying to get i90 myth sets... ha ha... well I guess it was 110 and higher at that point right? Well regardless my point remains.

[@KrazyBean14]

OH SHIT A CONTINUATION!

[@risingdawn6393]

Roots! It's what fans crave!

[@DerGeistDesKriegers]

The Atma phase of the relic weapon wasn't that bad, the step after, with the books(trials of the braves?) was way worse as it required specific fates and you could only complete one book at a time took me half a year because some of the fate just wouldn't spawn for weeks.

[@or10nsharkfin]

It is a broken record at this point but Yoshi-P stating right up front that the players, the fans, were the most important resource they could have is such a huge departure for a WoW-refugee; coming from a company that develops a game for themselves rather than for their fans while trying to convince us that they're taking our considerations into account. That the FFXIV team considers everything and everyone makes FFXIV the best MMO, or even the best game, for modern gamers.

[@Almatiel]

"FUN comes first" *look at the healers* Bish where?

[@Starfloofle]

fun for everyone else, but not us :'D

[@KnightRaymund]

Another great video.

[@edgarsalgado2918]

5 tier system for glamours? that seems pretty dope! wonder why they cha.... 8:23 ..........oh.

[@YBPaladin]

1:28 spooked me hard lol

[@Willnobilis]

Ah yes, glam...still the End Game to this day.

[@jonut_shavone]

This is amazing

[@KevSlider]

On Patch day!!!!

[@starscorpia4005]

honestly, atma nowadays takes...like maybe an hour or 2 to get at most (or i just got lucky) but the worst part was...and always will be the DARN BOOKS

[@Kaslo25]

The true endgame is here!

[@lupuslunari]

1:18 What are you and your friend wearing here? They look awesome. :3

[@haroldpelegrin1662]

Dat Gpose tho

[@carlinmcgee7359]

my headset is removing exclusively the voiceovers. This is so weird

[@Teheskimo]

Sometimes I feel like the only person that actually enjoyed old FFXIV more than ARR =[

[@Borderose]

"Never forget the fans." Wish Disney Star Wars learned this lesson. But alas, so happy for FFXIV.

[@gerardovilla5848]

Don't let the wow dev team see all the dyes or they will make a mount re-skin for each and made you grind for it.
