As Alexander is my favorite summon, it was neat to hear and see he somehow got a random battle with final form Kefka of all people.
My favorite incarnation of Alexander is definitely FFIX. That image of his wings over Alexandria is an iconic image
Saaaaaame!!!
Love that version, its a shame eiko and dagger couldn't dual summon it in battle.
In FF14, Alexander is like the ultimate paradox.
Its body was created in the past, born as an eikon in the present, summoned in the past and then awakened again twice over, where it realized that its original purpose was in itself a logic paradox and set the whole chain in motion to not only ensure its own destruction but also its creation.
Also it has one of the most bangin' soundtracks of any raid in FF14!
And its plan evokes the imagery of the Gordian Knot - solving a problem (Alexander's purpose threatens the safety of the world) by removing the problem altogether (erase itself from existence).
And yes, the soundtrack is awesome.
Awesome video man. Alexander is my favorite summons and all the lore was really cool. 9 and 14 were my favorite versions of him.
Type0 Alexander is the best one, hands-down
Thank you again for doing all the researsh and make a good video
The Alexander vs Kefka connection is probably because both of them have Judgement named attacks.
Yo awesome video man!
I love Alexander in ffxiv cause he was created to make a perfect world and he looked forward into trillions of futures and the only one that a perfect world is made is one where Alexander dies, so he sacrifices himself so that world he saw would become reality
The first time I saw it in FF VIII my heart stopped. My favorite GF of that FF.
This is amazing.
Thank you :D
20:29 fun fact the name tycoon is a ffv reference where the king of tycoon is naned alexander
Now I want that cruise chaser mount
I think a lot of people do. Heck, I don't play XIV and I want it!
Great video man thank you!!
Sonic BOOM!
good video
I always feel like Alexander is either broken or halfway built, with his lower half missing.
That castle that Alexander is launched from in FF13 looks like Shinra Inc.
Aka we SWEAR it's not apart of huge megazord
That's not at all the story of the tower of Babel. Because of man's arrogance in thinking they could reach heaven by their own means, God confounded the language of the people so that they couldn't communicate with one another and finish the tower. That confusion scattered everyone into different groups according to the tongues spoken. I think most cursory glances at the story explain that much.
Yes, but that part was not relevant to the subject, so I didn't mention it.
@@DrakeyC I wasn't saying go into detail, just that the basic summary given was wrong. It would be like saying Odin was an elf born from the Yddrasil and became a god. Elements of truth in there, but incorrect.
In nearly every game where you CAN summon it don't bother.
Fuck that. Do it for the cinema at least once!
Dafuq a Alexander is
Is Alexander wobotic or robotic?
It's original call Holy Judgment. And I prefer it that way. Divine Judgment and Divine Light are cool but Holy is the original.
