Menphina was my semi-random choice, I'm still good with that choice. Had a friend who immediately defected to Nophica though. For.. obvious reasons.. >.>
I'm sure you guys are already aware at this point, but at 23:51 wasn't because of you guys picking the wrong number, it's that Althyk did his Time God shtick and accelerated the third tower so it became the first one to trigger the knock back.
3:40 --- I mean, you're correct: we ARE a bunch of "horn balls". But let iT be known, the devs know full well what tickles our fancy XD 19:49 --- They are not twins... they are "just" siblings. 23:15 --- Pyratic isnt just "dont move", its also: dont attack, dont cast, dont shoot, dont hit. Just, dont to anything XD
Yep. There's a reason one of the epithets, like Thal's Balls, for Nophica is "Matron's teats!" There's a 95% chance the developers had been waiting to do that since the beginning of the game.
There's also art of her dating back to around 2.0 (specifically, Twin Adders art featuring Nophica) that shows off her... large tracts of land. The devs have been playing the long game.
Menphina did not name ,the Best Boy, Dalamud. The twelve are affected by FAITH, so the cult worshipping the Red Moon created Dalamud as an attachment to Menphina as the Goddess whose symbol is the Moon
You're right on Dalamud being created by faith, but not by whom. It was the faith of her worshipers millennia ago who instilled the image of a hound associated with Menphina, not the cult Lambs of Dalamud (who were created in the lead up to the Seventh Umbral Calamity).
Euphrosyne is my most favorite of the EW alliance raids, not only bc Halone is my WoL's deity but also because it has imo the best themes and the more fun mechanics. AND it has one of my most favorite FF14 songs. Dedicated to Moonlight is actually a prayer song by Keepers of the Moon Miqote!
“Spears are my favourite weapons until they’re not” it’s a good thing Kyle swapped to Halone after saying that cause I’m pretty sure that’s considered blasphemy against the Fury
I really love the EW raids. They just needed more "alliance" mechanics, reasons to have three separate parties there working together.... and wish they had held up longer before we outgeared them. I remember Halone just laying WASTE to us on day one. First run, within the first 30m of server up, Halone wiped us out three times. That's the good stuff. More of that please. Edit: I know this was recorded a while back, but I hope you guys have seen the music video by the Primals for "Dedicated to Moonlight," it's FANTASTIC.
While i do like the Menphina fight l, Halone should have been the final boss. Huh, once again, minilv is letting us see parts of the fights no one sees anymore. The power creep on EW Araids is crazy
@@thegneech Went back to check the exact dialogue and.... it's not as guaranteed as my memory led me to believe. I thought Menphina confirmed it herself. "The worship of Dalamud brought forth Menphina's hound." is a dialogue option *you* can choose with the other option being "The prayers of her faithful made Halone more imposing.". Then after either one you choose, G'raha is all like yeah sure that makes sense because dynamis.
Stepping through that portal after Althyk and Nymeia, all I could think was "Ser Aymeric... you are never going to believe this."
That fiddle has no rights going so hard as it does in the last fight and YET IT DOES ANYWAY!
this is my favorite alliance raid series so far
I have the same exact reaction with Kyle when I saw Althyk as my diety, I was a bit disappointed but when I saw Halone, I immediately defected 😂
I had Azeyma, was not disappointed at all.
I chose Oschon at random when I started. I'm satisfied
Menphina was my semi-random choice, I'm still good with that choice. Had a friend who immediately defected to Nophica though. For.. obvious reasons.. >.>
I expected Althyk to look like Ramuh but clock themed. I honestly am just fine with the knight and day difference.
Lore accurate Matron's teats!

We were blessed with Big Naturals Nophica.
This alliance raid made me change my guardian deity to Menphina

I really loved the Endwalker alliance raids as they were such a spectacle.
43:55 in a deadpan voice, Kyle asks the dog whether its a clock 😂

I still want Dalamud as a mount. He's a very good boy.

8:14 best moment in the clip. 😂
24:35 I know what you mean Kyle. Nophica was just green Azeyma.
I need to see the boys react to the enrage of the Althyk/Nymeia fight

But then we wouldn’t have gotten “Dedicated to Moonlight”
There was a fair amount of less than min ilvl, people were taking gear off during the instance.
Afternoon all o/
🔥🔥🔥🎻🔥🔥🔥
Yes, Dalamud was named after the god, not the other way around. XD
I was under the impression that the wolf got its name from the moon. In fact, the wolf only exists because the moon did.
@@fluffyfang4213 My memory is that Dalamud was Menphina's pet, and thus the smaller moon was associated with it, but I may have the sequence backwards

@@fluffyfang4213 So what I'm hearing is that either direction is a definite maybe. ;D Silly myths, being all vague and stuff!
1st hello all o/
i know whats the redmage was thinking, but he missed it
