The Greek Words of Love and Lightwardens in FFXIV

[@SynodicScribe]

Is that a lore cat? I approve.

[@meteorwalkergg]

I REALLY love their style (especially over 👀 others' styles of say, rambling about how much headcanons annoy them or long tirades about misinformation every 5mins 😉)

[@sweetest_melody4911]

Worth noting that Eros's abilities are also references to Cerberus's in World of Darkness, like Hound out of Heaven being the same as Hound out of Hell and Glossolalia being the same as Ululation!

[@Ailuromage]

That's a very good point yeah!

[@ArmageddonEvil]

Cat Mage that has lore in good places.

[@futurepastnow]

Every Cerberus boss in the game (there are several) does a rush attack called "Hound out of Hell", which they changed to Heaven for the lightwarden.

Scavenger's Daughter surprised me. I did not know it was a torture device.

[@Ailuromage]

Yes. It's widely credited from 16th century England. The device itself restrains and kind of "folds" the person as it tightens. There are so many devices out there, though some have been proven to be fictional creations in stories and in other literature. But, the Scavenger Daughter is one that is pretty well supported as being a real method that was practiced.

[@TheMogrymilian]

Fun fact: The breaking wheel attack of Storge is called "Blutadler" (Blood Eagle). I guess most of you people know that thing from some rather well-known viking show

[@angelopascutti3258]

Wait... this channel has ONLY 624+ subscribers? wtf... with such quality videos, this is going to explode.

[@Ailuromage]

Thank you so much. I'm glad people like these vids

[@mechatigrex2335]

[@sxbmissive]

[@sxbmissive]

Jokes aside I’m really enjoying these videos keep up the good work

[@Ailuromage]

Thank you 🐱

[@aaronlefebre5060]

This series going into the concepts behind the enemies and attacks has been rather enjoyable! FF has always been a franchise that takes ideas and inspiration from real world mythology and religion and apply them intelligently and thoughtfully. Excellent job!

[@Ailuromage]

It is really cool to see how interwoven these things are yes. They really want to make it unique.

[@hyenatron]

When you said 600 subscribers I had to double take because HOW IS THAT NOT HIGHER?

[@Ailuromage]

Thank you! I'm happy people like the content

[@GarnetDust24]

I really enjoy how the FF series includes facets of different religions and cultures into its games. LOVED this topic!

[@azuxiv]

thank you for the (highest-quality) content! i've been enjoying your ffxiv vids ^^ Storge is also my favorite boss! my stomach sink a bit tho now that i ponder what Intestinal Crank is...

[@Ailuromage]

Thank you! And yeah I didn't want to show the images I found on screen. Just didn't fit with the style of the video 😿

[@elgatochurro]

The internet can pretend the wooden horse is some BDSM but its origin was pain inducing, much like the other devices. Its made to be long lasting excruciating pain.

[@Ailuromage]

I think all of these things have probably been used some way or another in BDSM but yeah, obviously they were intended to be awful. Humans find a way I suppose 😹

[@EmperorPylades]

It all comes down to the weight used and the duration. Importantly, horses used for BDSM tend to have a narrow rail the 'rider' can put their heels on for support.

[@elgatochurro]

@@EmperorPylades yeah that's a big difference from the actual torture device

[@elgatochurro]

​@@EmperorPylades like the cross would be far less torturous if you could sit. The cross is meant to have your own weight harm you

[@angelopascutti3258]

Btw, malikah's well is my favorite all time dungeon

[@Ailuromage]

It's a very fantastic dungeon! I like the eerie atmosphere.

[@Foxfire510]

Loved it! Keep em coming!

[@WhisperingPersona]

Nicely done! Was very informative and a good watch!

[@meteorwalkergg]

@8:25 if you know, you know

[@MelvaCross]

I am Christian but catholicism is totally strange to me. So, I really appreciate these interpretations. Vauthry as Agape makes much more sense this way.

[@Shiirow]

there are a lot of hints that ascension is to make new sin eaters, how else would they be able to make such large quantities of Meol without a ready supply of Sin Eaters to carve up. though its commonly though that the warbler is the musical sin eater end dungeon boss but theres also the idea that it is the person she was hired to replace since her sponsor was already well versed in the idea of ascension because he either has second hand or personal knowledge about it enough to suggest it as an option. theres no definitive proof for either theories though.
