Well, they somehow get away with that T rating. All with a lot of sexual innuendos, straight-up slavery, and child death. Top it off, that one Postal Moogle Quest......that one....yes, that one.@ShxpxRok
This doesn’t even seem like a parody. Alphinaud would joke, Alisaie would go off like that, and Gilgamesh would definitely interrupt a private gathering to save Enkidu.
What makes it a parody is that it takes their personalities and cranks them up a notch from what they are. Alisae is quick tempered for sure, but not to this level.
I fully expected this to just be an animated lipsync of their actual VAs in that one cooking show they did together arranged in a funny way but this is also great. The economy of storytelling for the ending was 🤌

I mean honestly, even if it wasn't likely to Temper us if we ate it, how could we possibly cook it in a reasonable time? Alphinaud: ... We could deep fry?
Can I just say I have huge respect for the fact that you got real VA's? Like, its so common for people to continue to use AI, but I respect your continued effort.
I can totally see a scene like this going off as canon if the Scions were ever involved in these side quests. The voice actors were amazing as well! Alisaie's fury and Alphinaud's deadpan explanation really sold the scene.
I like how it's a joke most probably have seen and will recognize, but get lost in the last part which only people who played the game and that specific questline can understand XD
@@Chrisdish The Manderville questline. That character's friend is the green chicken in the video and his name is Gilgamesh. Well...his 'actual' name is Gilgamesh. Everyone, npc and player alike, calls him Greg.
I know it may never happen; but just once I would like one Manderville Quest line that had both the Scions and Greg in it. Oh the chaos that would be unleashed with the amount of absurdity.
"alphinaud where are the popotoes?" "no idea dude, not my area" "but you were on turkey and veg" "popotoes aren't veg" "uh yes they are" "uh... n.... are they? mm.... i mean they kind of are, but not really" "well what else are they?" "you sure potatoes aren't veg? aren't they, not earth, but... like... salt? i mean, tomato is a fruit and popotoes are... bread? no. I mean they're wheaty, they don't go in the drawer in the fridge so... yea?" "alphinaud OBVIOUSLY popotoes are vegetables" "well now you're goin on about it maybe you're right, but they're not exactly cabbage, are they? I mean they're brown, they're NICE" "oh for fucks sake" "look there must be popotoes, theres always popotoes" "yes, we do have popotoes, TWO popotoes" "two... oh that's not enough, i love popotoes, they're the best bit" "EVERYTHING is the best bit according to you, croissants, carver, smoked salmon, pineapple rings, having the heating on incredibly high..."
Of the twins, Alisaie would be the one to swear like a sailor 🤣
I've seen a whole bunch of polls asking which character in the Scions should get to swear and Alisaie always wins by a landslide.
You mean like she would ingame if the developers had the BALLS to do it? Its already her personality.
@@Hammybread balls? it's a T for teen game it's too late to raise the age rating xD
She’d drop so many F-bombs if the game weren’t rated T for teen 😂

I'm sure big inspiration for this came from that one scene in Scotland.
@@ibigfire this is just her no longer held back by a T rating
@@ibigfire I'm pretty sure she would have dropped a few F bombs in her tirade towards Estinien.
I have no idea who this 'Gilgamesh' is. That's Greg. He's a friend of Inspector Hildebrand.
I feel like Gilgamesh could make an entire Christmas dinner all by himself.
He does have uhh… 8 arms? Sometimes? 🐓
Who?
@@Water-vk1vs imagine all the knives and utensils in each hand.
@vastumtempus they meant Greg.
ENKIDIUUUUUUU-
The battle on the big fridge
Happy starlight! Be nice to your friends and family don't be like Alisaie
this is gold, thanks Bene
Alisaie has always been a bitch in my eyes
Idk man, Blue Alisaie would have fucked up bigtime if he forgot the turkey.
Instructions unclear, green turkey is now stuck in the ceiling fan
Starlight joke's on you, they are ALL shitheads!
“Go on, Enkidu! It's Alphitoad -your favorite!”
Is it red or blue Alphitoad though?
@@cooliod00dConsider: Blue Ali-Toad
I love how two-tiered this joke is. Makes me chuckle every time.

And somehow a radio also comes into existence from that frypan. WOL really is a master chef.
Nah, see, cause tataru is crafting shit that’s better than Gerolt and Grendolt’s gear, she’s completely off the shits

The way alphinaud isn't even struggling😭 Either Greg's knocked his ass out or he's accepted his fate
After his twin, his flesh and blood that he shared a womb with called him all those things... Who wouldnt embrace death?
Or he's dead.
He'll talk his way out.
He was choked out like a bitch 😂
Where is the TURKEY ALPHINAUD?!
Many thanks to BeneG. for having me on this project! And a fantastic round of applause for Arakawa to work with vocally!
Bethan Walker would be proud of your portrayal 😂
If this is what the Leveilleurs are up to during Starlight, imagine what the Mandervilles are up to, especially Julyan and Godbert. 😂😂😂
Whatever it is, it definitely involves going to Elpis
You can't fault Greg's reaction. That is his literal only friend.
What about Hildibrand? :(
What about Daigoro?
don’t forget bartz
What about his coworkers at the Saucer?
only Allsaie could pull off a "Chef Ramsay" moment perfectly....
Alisae: I should have known something was wrong when I saw it was GREEN.
Alphinaud: The vendor assured me it just got into those fruits adventurers use to dye their chocobo's feathers!

I was not expecting The Peep Show in a FFXIV animation but now I want more of it
Can I just say I have huge respect for the fact that you got real VA's? Like, its so common for people to continue to use AI, but I respect your continued effort.
Alphinaud trying, and failing, to land a joke with Alisaie at his expense is too accurate lmao.
Appreciate that you referenced him as Greg. The Hildebrandt series forever tainted my mind in the best way possible 😆
Imagine being on Aether. I automatically autocorrect ‘Gilgamesh’ to Greg now, that’s now his name. We all just broken WOLs lol
@@gateauxq4604 Prior to that it was just shouting "Girugamesh!" Which is probably where Greg comes from.
I love how he's trying so hard not to cry
those facial expressions, especially the subtle changes, are just tooooo goddamn gooood, youre killing meeeeeee
I don't know why, but Alphinaud's slow expression change after Alisaie says "you what?" is killing me xD
I'm alarmed by how incredibly canon this seemed.
NOBODY EXPECT THE ENKIDU JUMPSCARE!
These VAs are really good ZAMN.
I can totally see a scene like this going off as canon if the Scions were ever involved in these side quests. The voice actors were amazing as well! Alisaie's fury and Alphinaud's deadpan explanation really sold the scene.
I usually do not eat something that had a name. But after all Greg put me through I will make an exception.
Happy starlight 🎉
It's funny. What Alisae said to Alphinaud was literally my reaction during the whole Crystal Braves thing.
omg Alisaie would lmao
This is definitely from Peep Show and I am all for it LOL
The VA for Alisaie sounds exactly like Lady Dimitrescu when she is screaming and insulting.
I love this so much. Poor Alphi.
Best part is how lore accurate everything here is
I'm so happy you commissioned VAs for this instead of using AI voices.
I like how it's a joke most probably have seen and will recognize, but get lost in the last part which only people who played the game and that specific questline can understand XD
What specific questline?
@@Chrisdish

She does have lovely way with words ^w^
Never thought I'd see a FFXIV / Peep Show mashup and yet here we are!
The only part that's unrealistic is Alisae sincerely apologizing on her own.
Not only a BeneG. video for the holidays but one with best boy Greg in it, wonderful!
Any time you put something out i always love it. While i'm glad i found your Jem of a channel, i'm mad you don't have more subscribers!!
I know it may never happen; but just once I would like one Manderville Quest line that had both the Scions and Greg in it. Oh the chaos that would be unleashed with the amount of absurdity.
I loved it, please never stop making these! XD
This was super well deserved and sexy design dude!uwu awesome animation ✌️😍🫶🏼🤪👌
You're videos are always so well done 🤣Hope you have a great starlight!
Indeed, it truly wasn't very Starlighty.
Absolute insane quality, thanks for making another beautiful animation BeneG!
Ahh this is so gooood! The animation work is so lovely!
At least she didn't make it personal and just called him all the lovely nicknames we all call him.
We need a follow up with Alisaie putting turkey and gravy thorugh Fourchenault's shredder
Man, your animation has gotten so good. This one was so smooth! Still love the early stuff though
Back it again with these banger animations!
The moment I saw Enkidu, my face fell so fast, it damn near broke the floor.
She WOULD do this.
You can really tell she’s twice as rugged as Alphinaud!
WoL: I'm more of a star light ham kinda guy anyway.
Thank you, this was a fantastic animation. Very starlighty.
I can't stop rewatching this, it's amazing and hilarious ❤😂
Alphinaud found an organic turkey... at the library... that's actually a live, green chicken who just happens to be Gre-imean Gilgamesh's best friend.
LOL!!! beneG this was amazing
Greg just wanted to join in on cooking Enkidu
the pain in alphi's eyes xD
One Two, Greg is coming for you
Glorious
Awww. Greg comes for Enkidu. That's so sweet.
Red Alphinaud, has no chill.
Enough expository banter! Now we give presents like men! And ladies! And ladies who dress like men! For Gilgamesh...it is Starlight time!
thats just fucking amazing lol. alisaie going off like a proper brit! love it!
I would be fighting the urge to turn Alisaie into the turkey at that point
Holy fuck , the VAs killed it
Happy Starlight to you! This was great 😂
So this is what those two have been up to while they wait for Dawntrail.
I love peep show 😂
"alphinaud where are the popotoes?"
"no idea dude, not my area"
"but you were on turkey and veg"
"popotoes aren't veg"
"uh yes they are"

Chance would be a fine thing, Alphinaud. A fine thing indeed!
Red alphinaud is sure angry
SHE...IS NOT...*ALPHINALD!*
Ali is so cute when she's angry ^_^
Just look at her outburst on Estinien when he first met her.
"Featuring Greg." 'wheeze'
Alphy just hanging there, like a used-up dishrag.
Oh Alisaie and her occasional sudden outbursts 🤭
Seriously that scene in SHB startled me when she suddenly yelled at my WoL for having less bat wings than her
Like, volume Alisaie, and chill tf out
The holidays do bring out the worst in people.
Tell you what that archon loaf is really moreish
Happy Holidays 🎉
Was not ready for that one. 😮
Amazing how they captured both their personalities in a single short lol
I wasn't prepared for the theme kicking in.
that wasnt very starlight of you Alisaie
I wish the ingame cutscenes were this good 😂
Alisaie went full Kaine
Amazing, love it.
Happy starlight!
holy.. im new to this game and these twins act like this!!? cant wait to see them for real! :D Awesome animation and Voice acting.
She quite literally went "YOU WOT!?"
Another quality video i will watch hundreds of times
*CLICK OPEN 1 SEC AFTER NOTIFICATION*
Wol: *Takes a sip of hot cocco in the background.* Meh, You guys can take Greg. Go easy on him you two.
Greg gon b mad
These are too good
This is every sibling relationship ever.
Don't say crack, Alphinaud, yeah? Please not now.
