    Since the moon is darkening, Zenos is planning to gorge himself upon the moon, and we know the moon is made of cheese, clearly Zenos must be seasoning the moon before eating it.

    • @DreadKyller
      @DreadKyller Рік тому +5

      Zenos doesn't like cheese, he went to some lengths to prevent black rose from destroying us because he likes to do things properly, he doesn't like cheesing things. So he's probably seasoning the moon to make it more palatable for him.

    a cool thing about Zenos picking a weapon, the weapon he ultimately chose was not even in the data, as we know it is the Scythe for reaper, but when 5.5 dropped reaper was still not revealed yet. Dataminers checked the scene to see if we could finally get confirmation on a reaper/scythe job and instead they found Zenos didn't even hold a weapon in his final selection.

    Arenvald's past is very unhappy though (and Fordola would see it), as he's in a Todoroki (from My Hero Academia) situation with his mother (who was hurt by Garleans) & has the forehead scar + the motive to move away from her.
    He also had to grow up being a cutthroat roadside robber to survive before finding his friends (who were killed in the ARR Waking Sands raid by Livia) & realizing he can be better than that and help others by volunteering to be a Scion.
    But I very much agree he has such a sweet & caring soul now that he & Fordola would have an initially complicated but later mutually beneficial relationship with each other

    Neat fact: The Garlean capitol being turned into a chaotic tower which is the focus of all that aetherial business by the machinations of a madman is a reference to Final Fantasy 6, where the Ghestalian Empire (a magitek empire much like Garlemald, and is in fact where their aesthetics come from) gets ruined and taken over by Kefka Palazzo, a clownish madman who has supreme control over magic (much like an Ascian and Creation magics), who builds his tower right on top of Vector, the imperial capitol, using whatever trash and ruins are around. Kefka's Tower is the final dungeon of FF6, and is where you see Kefka use his Light of Judgement from to burn various parts of the World of Ruin (including various villages of survivors around the world).
    It's a neat parallel reference I don't see being brought up a lot, but was definitely there to enjoy for those who know the plot beats of other FF games.

    It's so fun being on this side looking in. Y'all gonna have a blast. I just recommend for your own sakes trying not to stretch out Endwalker more than a couple weeks, else you're gonna brainmelt trying to predict the next story beat.

    Actually both Xelphatol and Paglthl'an are the Ixal and Amalj'aa countries respectively, and if you look at the actual world map you can see they are quite big! Definitely countries on their own right and not parts of Thanalan, Gridania or Coerthas. In the dungeons named after them you're just visiting a small slice of them.

    Fun tidbit about Zenos's new weapon: The first Fanfest happened before 5.5, and while they revealed Sage then, they only said that the second job in the expansion is melee and uses Maiming gear. The scene in 5.5 was further teasing, and a lot of people guessed that whatever weapon he chose would be the weapon for the new job.

    Paglth'an it's a dungeon that caught me by surprise. If you think about it, it's such a simple set up for it, just a simple desert dungeon, nothing but rock and sand but, between what it's happening there, the way they handled the light of the sunset and the music going *so* hard, they managed to make one of the spiciest potatoes in the game.
    Also, I remember when I lost my sprout. I had been asking my friend when I'd lose my sprout, at least once every week since I started Shadowbringers, and when it happened right after I finished EW, it was like "woah... I'm not a noob anymore...?" I legit missed the little thing, and I still consider myself a noob regardless now.

  • @brynphillips9957
    @brynphillips9957 Рік тому

    I think I was one of the few people who actually recognised Arenvald when he first turned up in Stormblood because I had a habit of visiting the side room in the Waking Sands right after joining the Scions. I kind of liked him right from the start since he pretty much joined at the same time as you and you got to see his friends encouraging him early on before they die in the aftermath of Titan. He also is one of the people who welcome you back to the Waking Sands after defeating the Ultima Weapon at the end of 2.0. He definately fell into B plot but I had a soft spot for him being one of the few original Scions to survive to HW. Almost everyone else outside the main scions, including Hoary Boulder, joined after that.

    My husband is a long-time DM as well and would love this idea of holding the cultists in stasis forever to be your summoning engine. I don't know whether to show him videos about it or not because he hasn't been able to finish ARR since he is legally blind and it's hard for him to play because he can't see all the attacks being telegraphed. Plus he chose to be a black mage, so you can guess how well that's going. But he'd love the idea to use cultists like that, so I'm torn. When I say he's a big table-top gamer I mean our basement is filled wall-to-wall with gaming materials and settings. That's all it's used for.

      If it could help him they've been working on making all the dungeons doable with NPC party members, I think they've added them up to somewhere in Stormblood so far, and Shadowbringers & later has them as well. There's also ways to adjust colors and sizes of things both with ingame settings or with things like reshade. There's also many addons that can help with disability things, like reading dialog in TTS and making tiny icons more visible. For trials you might be able to make partyfinders asking to help mentioning his vision issues.

    Now that you're finally reaching the end of Shadowbringer, i can say this : While Shadowbringer is the best standalone expansion due to how isolated to the first the events are, Endwalker is the best expansion when taking all your journey into account.

    Pagl'than has some of my favorite armor pieces, i ran that dungeon so much trying to get each piece i ended up soloing the second boss as a astro cause the pala was using all the wrong abilities that my tank main buddy was crying with me as he watched the train wreck, the pala admitted to being sleep deprived but thats fine right? Youll keep us alive! I wanted to murder him.
