Dawntrail's MSQ Changed COMPLETELY

This seriously doesn't even feel like the same expansion anymore and I couldn't be more thrilled about it. The Golden City was hiding so much more than I thought it was AND SOLUTION 9 IS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS.
Sphene best girl.

![Clear Skies and Boundless Possibilities | Dawntrail REACTION [Lv 90 MSQ]](/img/n.gif)
In regards to the "medieval fanfare", it's a track from FFIX. Alexandria is a major nation and the starting area in the game, and Dawntrail liberally borrows ideas from IX in the latter half, including tunes, character inspiration, and references. The Everkeep, which Solution 9 is in, bears clear inspiration from another location in FFIX in terms of the exterior design of the tower, and there are tiny little easter eggs littered around that you may see but not understand throughout the xpac.
Ever since Shadowbringers I am suspicious that these are more than just inspirations to the former numbered FF entries. Evven if the devs still deny it. Looking at Novrand it almost reesembles the east southern part of the world map of FF1 by landmass and landmarks (especially after a 100 years long period of draught). And it also is about 10% of the total map size since 90% of the first was engulfed in light. Also the form Elidibus chooses is the MC of that game, also called the hero of light, from a millenium ago.
@@LuriTVso u mean the devs are lazy instead of creating a new story they borrow stuff from other final fantasy games, well I agree, tho it mostly this expansion last expansions it happens, but they are mostly original FF14 stories but this expansion is just straight ff9 they didn't even hide they borrowing stuff yet ff14 players like this guy just keep eating it up like it some sort of amazing thing, some ff14 just eat everything the devs gives them.
@@john_7000 FF14 has been a love letter to past FF games since ARR.
Crystal Tower is from ff3.
Azys Lla and the 3 statues are from FF6
Doma is FF6
Eden raids are FF8
Post 6.0 is all FF4
And plenty of other things are pulled from past games.
It has nothing to do with being lazy.
Laziness =/= fan service
Alexandria is a pure callback to FFIX, music and all.
Also in the merchant district (since you're in Solution 9 now) you can buy the cyber bike for 7.5 million gil.
Only my entire FFXIV-life savings.💀
@@terabellumTook me an entire expansion to raise that much money passively.
Man I had the Gil at the start of the expansion but I was also working on getting our small FC a little house! I only just made the 5mil back yesterday. The bike is finally mine!
Some of the music after you meet Sphene is from FF9
IT'S SATURDAY!! I just ate a boatload of tacos while I watched this. THANK YOU again Terra! I've adored your takes, your cooking, your thoughts - so much fun.
But you didn't share your tacos! 😭
Now I want tacos...
@@terabellum 😞 sorry. ... ... I ate 'em ALL.
Wuk Lamat hucking a 2x4 at a robot on a hoverbike is charming in a way I can't quantify. One brain cell, boundless energy.
The Black Mirror episode is San Junipero. And yes. Big San Junipero vibes here
YES THANK YOU! I could not for the life of me recall the episode's name.
56:05 - Wuk Lamat's comment on "How are things still getting stranger" I screenshotted this and posted it in my FC's Dawntrail spoiler discussion with the caption "I have this thought at least once every expansion."
Okay but the tank gear on a bun boy has special bun ear covers and therefore robo-bun is the best glam in the game 🤣
Leaving a message on behalf of Miss "Anyone but you"
THANK YOU FOR HAVING THE SAME THEORY AS ME! lol A lot of people are saying this couldn't be the 12th reflection because they were rejoined but I think that because of whatever barrier they put up it created like some sort of... tumor for lack of a better word against the Source when the rest of their star was rejoined
@twilightchaosangel011 I could be so far off base because I think all the previous rejoinings WERE implied to be full rejoinings by graha's reflection speech on the first. But it would be so neat if Alexandria survived in an isolated bubble due to their advanced technology.
Yeah, I'm 50/50 on it right now, hoping that the patch content delves more into that.
@@terabellumplus we do have a precedent when it comes to a whole area disappearing from reality only to reappear some time later… the Isle of Val.
The calamity of lightning happening thousands of years before the calamity of ice. Which means the 12th was rejoined before the Milala travelled to Alexandria's shard.
@@terabellum My theory is Alexandria is another reflections the Ascians had prepped for another calamity of lightning. They went through all 6 elements, darkness with Bahamut, then the 8th was gonna be Light and the First. But then they'd have to go through 5 of the 6 elements again to get all 13.
Another episode so soon! We have been blessed! (Also it’s always so funny to me how you get jump scared by the level change 😂 The strength of will! Idk if I would have it in me to not keep going)
It helps knowing the more I record, the more I have to edit, so I do well to limit how much editing I need to do at once 😆
The musical themes about Sphene and Alexandria refers all to FF9, maybe you'll check all the references out when you've finished the msq, i recommend it ;)
Sphene is (somewhat) a reference to Princess Garnet of Alexander from FF9. The references here aren't as direct as others have been. Krile the granddaughter of Galuf is a reference to Krile from FF5 who is the granddaughter of Galuf for example. The Ivalice raids are a reference to Ivalice, Fran is a reference to Fran, but these references are more indirect.
The episode of Black mirror is called St. Junipero
"She's so cute"
Terra has be afflicted with cuteness overload.
If you were still playing Lala, you’d have been standing to fire the cannon
Playing a lala turns this story into a comedy, and I can not be convinced otherwise 😅
As a Canadian (living in the US) I appreciate the Reboot reference. Such a good show.
FOUND MY ONE CANADIAN VIEWER. I'm happy someone enjoyed it other than me. 🤣
@@terabellumthere is another :3
@@terabellum And another! That was spot on!
I'm not Canadian but I remember watching it on Toonami, loved that show but it feels like hardly anyone knows it exists. Suffice to say I wasn't expecting the Mike the TV jumpscare 😂
@@SetekhTia Someone was named Hexadecimal I thought it was a reboot reference it wasn't I got very sad. You are right no one really seems to remember it.
What a happy saturday to see ya post! I loved that some of the music after meeting sphene is from ff9!
I love having the rug pulled out from under me and also the floor removed and also the foundation and also the bedrock under the foundation just whisked away as I plummet into an awesome new narrative. I had so much fun with Dawntrail MSQ.
Also my take is that Vanguard is a top-3 all-time dungeon.
10:51 "Your AoE spam doesn't scare me, I've done Mt. Rokkon!"
11:42 *Walls show up alongside AoE spam* "...okay, maybe a LITTLE scared!"
9:55 Yes, you're going to be farming this dungeon a lot. One of us. One of us.
23:30 Poor baby.
36:15 Hahahaha.
50:20 Dun dun duuuuuuun!
52:00 I'm not the only one who remembers Reboot!
55:15 "Casual acquaintances" huh Erenville?
1:05:40 Spoiler-Selch. Ha, called it.
1:15:05 Yup. I call it the expansion's left turn. One quest we're asking Native American expies if it's ok for us to borrow lumber to fix our steam engine, the next we've got sci fi airships.
1:16:55 "I found El Dorado." Refuses to elaborate. Walks away. Mom's like wait no wait what!?
Now think of it i never doubted how sphene looked so young after 30 years xD
That cutscene though. To think back to arr or hw and even sb we barely seen people move in cutscenes, they were just always there talking or would walk off screen or fade to black. Since shb and especially ew/dt we’ve got full on action movies happening now. ❤
No spoilers, but I’ll say this much: keep cooking. This entire section of the game literally blew my mind wide open. I was SO far off what was going on… but then post game when I looked back at all of the references and hints… I felt stupid. It was so plain in hindsight, given the game they obviously drew inspiration from. It’s only my favorite ff game of all time and I was the last to figure it all out in the end lol and yes, Cahciua is an absolute treasure lmao as soon as I heard “fussy little bunbun” the first time I literally DIED in my chair. I was so done lol I was in love so hard and it fits Erenville SO WELL. That is the perfect kind of nickname only a mother can give lmao She is definitely the type to make everyone get together in a group while she shows off wildly embarrassing pictures of Erenville while he just kind of stands there mortified. There’s a lot of epic stuff coming up, but I will die on the hill that “fussy little bunbun” is easily the greatest thing to come from the expansion 😂😂😂😂
@sakuram69 Now I cant help but wonder if my current thoughts and theories are undercooked or overcooked. The golden city being a reflection already threw me so far off my expectations I can't wait to see what happens next. 😆
The Solution Nine theme sounds like it could be outro music so I kept thinking I was at the end of the video!
@@TarundiMC STOP. I WAS THINKING OF USING IT TOO 💀🤣
I had very little context from FF9 because I really only played the first few hours. But I froze in place when I saw the Archeo Alexandria area of Heritage Found. My friend is really into FF9 and I asked him "uh, is that... that looks a LOT like..."
Glad to see you back!
Sphene's music is kind of a slower version of Prima Vista from FFIX:

The Earthen Sky Hideout's theme also follows a slower version of Theme of the Tantalus... et cetera:

Alexandria is from the 9th reflection in the ff14 universe according to a yoshi p interview
In terms of the time skipping ahead, i wouldn't be surprised if there were still Viera, i remember them being able to live up to 200 years.
And now I wait for the final fantasy IX playthrough for UA-cam :)
FF9 is my top favorite game in the series along with 6. I got hit with all the feels with the lil references in the scenes, designs, and music. I'm so glad you finally got to experience this part of the expac and some of the other characters.
I wonder how many FFIX players caught that Sphene, like Garnet (the name of the princess in IX), is the name of a gem.
Hey Terra! Is there a reaction on your channel anywhere to the short film /emote FFxiv?
Erenville's mom really pulled put the baby pictures while he was on his group date with Terra and G'raha
- Welcome to the Halo crossover part of the expansion.
- The 97 dungeon is a popular glam farm, though the tank set is underwhelming. The others are pretty good.
- I hope you have a lot of gil. Maybe in the 8-digit range.
- Perfect reason with that jacket to level up Viper.
- There's definitely FF9 references that you'll miss. The music, Alexandria, and Sphene are some of those references.
1:00:22 twisted yes, but not unlike what the voidsent do, the alexandrians just do it in a cleaner method, wiping the memories of the soul, so as to not interfere or be at risk of a souls memories consuming you
I DID NOT APPRECIATE THE JUMPSCARE AT 50:23
TRAUMA. TRAUMAAA.
All the wood is intentional. Wood is perfect insulator against electricity.
Right! Initially, I was thrown off by the wood. It would also minimize the dampening of the literal bomb train we made too. 🫠
And protect against any random vampire attacks
If you wood be so kind.
I really find it interesting that too much of a specific aether aspect can cause sicknesses. I wonder what the other reflections versions of these aether sicknesses would be.
It would be fascinating to see a reflection where too much of one aether caused a POSITIVE effect. And these aether afflicted people were like a dominant and subjugating force in their reflection.
Now imagine doing that second dungeon boss as a black mage
EXCITED FOR THE NEXT EPISODE
It'll be released Saturday, the 31st!
@@terabellum AMAZING
6:40 was "MAGNificent" intentional?
10:06 what you mean it's not great?
It's not to my personal tastes. I was hoping for a jacket/baggy clothing like many of the other jobs. 😅
@@terabellum Funny, as a MCH main i was having the same opinion but from the other perspective: i really wanted the kinda plate armor fending got, but all i have is some techie clothes and a gas mask
59:26 - Imagine being pregnant and your spouse dies. You have no memory of how you got pregnant.
Spawn camping would be a potential counter to their tech, but there is a more obvious one.
Solution 9 is basically coruscant.
I love it there too, too bad there isn't an inn, or residential. Huge miss on Sqex part
God I wish they didn’t show us solution nine during the fan fest. Would’ve made the twist SO much more impactful. It was honestly a spoiler and am not sure why the devs did it.
Hello what class´r u playing?, new player here so i am still learning hiihi😇
Solution Nine is the best city in all of FFXIV.
YIPPIE SATURDAY UPLOAD! All praise Queen Sphene!👑🟢 Seriously tho her design/mannerism/voice are all so cute
