Thancred feels guilty because: As basically the "information" specialist (basically he's the rogue/spy guy) of the Archons he didn't pick up on how there was a plot to berserk and set the Gobbues loose because he was busy "flirting" with cute girls. The second part of the guilt is that he didn't finish off the Gobbue when we downed it. You see how he's quipping and kinda relaxed , allowing it to go further berserk and rampage, directly causing the death.
All of that plus a lot of guilt is due to not being there for Minfilia while she was growing up. He mostly was busy with his work as a spy in bars while Flammin was raising the girl he felt responsible for alone.
also, you don't have to agree that it's his fault to empathize with why he feels guilt over it. He does not have to be 'correct' about his guilt in order for it to be a valid emotion he is experiencing.
You've actually met most of those characters in the cinematic at one point or another throughout the story. The two Lalas for example can be found at the mining guild. A few of them even play prominent roles in side quests that you have done yet tho, so you'll see them again 😁
The biggest problem with 1.0 was that it was made by the best of the best that SE had at the time, so much of the game was made with too much detail. Every computer struggled to run it, and unless you were on a quantum computer, forget starting in Limsa.
Their inabilty to understand Thancred is rubbing me off the wrong way so much. To summarize. -Thancred fights to protect people. When he fought the Gobbue, he failed to kill it the first time, and it went on to make an orphan. Since he grew up an orphan, it hit him hard, as it meant that him not being able to finish the job provoked the death of Minfilia's father. -He also feels responsible for Minfilia's "death" at the end of ARR because he wasn't able to predict the plot against the Scions, which would have been his job as the resident spy Master. Which caused them fleeing, which caused Minfilia to dissapear. -Finally, in Shadowbringer, he has adopted à New daughter. Except his job is to train her and then lead her to his other daughter so one of them can die. And the worst part is that he knows Minfilia should sacrifice herself, so he is helping the woman whose father he couldn't protect, who died under his watch, commit suicide. And they ask him to get over it? The. Fuck.
I think he talked about it on stream after release. The fact he did all this on his own is pretty amazing. As for 1.0 graphic quality - you are viewing this on monitors and with GPU's which are vastly different. I think if you want to view it how someone would have 10+ years ago you would reduce your quality settings. Picking apart these graphics would be like picking apart a game from 20 years ago by today's standards. As for Thancred? He was still fun Thancred in 2.0 until after the dinner scene. Remember, while the other scions are being accused of murdering the sultana, he is outside flirting. And this is why he changes - because he feels "while my comrades are going through all this shit, I'm outside flirting".
God I miss the 1.0 full mocap... We lost a lot of anim and camera work for actually fun gameplay and rich story that directly involves and resonates with the player-- and it's well better for it. But with the next expansion's graphic updates and the ongoing MSQ overhauls, I hope more anim work to come back to bring the full package together.
I’ll never not be amazed at how they continued 1.0’s story and built on it so we can look back today and see the origins of the story. Anyone else would have retconned the whole thing.
On the subject of the first pint video, I now need to see them react to Moonwalker, Denmo's rendition of the Endwalker trailer...done entirely in Moonbase Alpha Text to Speech. And also Final Fantasy XIV's rich history of song mashups with Space Jam.
I imagine much of the DoF and blur etc is dictated by the video-maker's in game graphic settings. Presumably he's emulating it on new hardware, so would have everything maxed, whereas a normal player would have things adjusted to taste (or off, given the requirements).
I can’t quite remember, did they watch the Noclip documentary? Seems like they were expecting 1.0 cutscenes to be bad haha, so not sure if they’re aware of how 1.0’s development went.
so part of the jerkiness of the 1.0 cinematic recordings is that these videos were recorded in 2010, with 2010 computers, running a game that was actually very demanding. If you were to take the time to set up the Seventh Umbral Launcher and run the barebones 1.23b version of the FFXIV 1.0 server and try to run these cinematics now, they'd look MUCH better.
As a 1.0 player, the game looked incredible for the time, but the dev team focused almost exclusively on graphics because they intended to just bring the gameplay and UI from FFXI over wholesale. There were some minor changes in the end, but even then the original dev team for 1.0 was too convinced that they had everything right with FFXI and didn't need to take any lessons from elsewhere and focused entirely upon graphics to the point where most people couldn't run it above low graphics settings. There were good things about 1.0. The animations and scale of the zones were great, though there were a few areas where the environment team got a little lazy and reused things too often, but there were also awesome vistas to be found that just couldn't be fit into the small zones we have now. Filling that much space was beyond the original dev team, though, so vast sections of the zones were filled with creatures that would still be dozens of levels above a max level modern character. There wasn't any reason to go to those areas aside from exploration after you learned how to avoid detection from each family of mobs.
I don't think he worded it well, but I understood it and agree with the sentiment. the number one thing that annoyed me about WoW's Cataclysm expansion was that it was all written as if it were a single player story where you are playing as Thrall- I had no idea why my character was even there. This is a pervasive problem throughout WoW's storytelling, but Cata is one of the most clear examples. Your role in the story is cameraman. They might as well have just made a movie, because the plot is not interactive at all.

The. Fuck.
1.0 had a lot of things wrong with it - the cutscene tech was NOT one of them.
I think he talked about it on stream after release. The fact he did all this on his own is pretty amazing.

Hearing that Kyle is 6'3" is a mindfuck for me. Somehow I had a headcanon that Garrett was taller
Minfillia was not dressed as a miner, she was dressed as a minor.
"This is so much effort for such a dumb joke" describes so much of Pint's channel and why he's one of my favorite FF content creators.
Young minfilia is the girl who receve the flower

funny thing on the motion sickness Shaky Cam shots never effected me on that just riding passenger in a car on really curvy roads.

I don't know but FFXIV 1.0 graphics, the blur and all that gives me FFXII feels. Kinda like it actually!
1.0 cinematics is its strongest point you guys
Some of these are certainly... interesting... hot takes.
honestly? you guys could make these 2 separate videos on the clips channel, hit the algorithm with quantity! these are easily 2 15m videos!
I wish they got to see the Limsa 1.0 cutscene.
They have seen it, it's just not in this clip.
Hang around for tomorrow then!
Level 12 Thancred.
Please React to "/Emote" by Zanekonpu.
Yes please!!
pint is just 1 man not multiple
But he could be multiple people inside.
@@r2dezki oh, they definitely are.
Grow up.
Remember FF14 came out on PS3, these are PS3 cinematics.....
They are not and never will be. At launch 1.0 was PC only and was never released for the PS3.
"Other people doing cool things, so why should I play this game?" is the worst take I've ever heard.
