Jesse out here representing those of us that get easily confused. Other Tours: "So then you equate the exact mathmatical foruma, calculate the distance between your scythe and the moon, and choose X to deliver the optimum potency and facilitate the position needed for the spectre to enter you and apply damage based on your center of gravity." Jesse: "So yeah, first you hit the blue button and it becomes a purple button. Bada Bing Bada Boom!"
And this is why im actually glad Jesse and a lot of newcomers to the scene were invited to the media tour! As a 1.0 vet I absolutely love the different perspective on things and the simple love he has for the game.
@@Raxen95 depends on who you ask honestly cause there is all kinds of players out there. if you and the rest of the party make the decision that you dont care how long the dungeon takes and just want to have fun in your own way you're absolutely right as is a majority of cases. Unrelated but heck i really like going after unnecessary adds on the way to the end just for the sake of more exp while actually in the dungeon to get the most out of it even though i can just run by them. On a personal note though when i stop and consider that other people might not have more than a limited time to play every day i just personally want to better myself not just for my own experience but for their sake to try and make things go even the slightest bit faster for them from proper execution of a job in not just certain content but all content. Naturally later gear obviously makes things a breeze enough as it is in leveling dungeons regardless of the effort involved but still were going into a launch and a lot of things are going to be closer to minimum item level so it will be a little more important at the beginning. That might not be how you play the game nor might it even be a concern of yours ,but i just consider it more of a courtesy just to throw out a "hey how fast do you want to go" really quick at the start. I do agree though to an extent of course and I don't think anyone should fault you or anyone for that matter for wanting to mess around in lower end content and have fun the way you view it as fun with your damage rotation in dungeons or just take it easy even if its not perfect and not worry too much as long as theres at least some effort going on in the long run. its not like its serious business like a savage raid or an ultimate obviously after all where youre fighting the timer as much as you are the mechanics and stuff like that actually matters with optimization and junk. I just also really think there still is value in executing the job properly for dungeons if you care to at least because more damage dealt means faster dungeons which also means fitting in more runs in shorter time with those people who cant play for long and it can also mean quicker exp generation over all from the dungeon spam.
Everyone else on the media tour: Here are these abilities, the rotation is possibly this, there's some utilitization here Jesse: There's Blue abilities that make me do Red abilities, and then you do Purple abilities
Soken is gonna kill me with the new songs... My god, just some previews in this video (Especially Old Sharlayan's theme) already made me want to cry...
While I appreciate everyone else doing job gameplay deep dives, I really love you just goofing off and exploring zones and animations, Jesse. I would totally have done the same thing if I was invited. This is a huge part of why this game is great! That subway in Garlemald looks really cool in particular.
As someone who doesn't care much about the job changes, this was the kind of video that I was looking for. Focusing more on the areas, gears, dungeons etc. Thank you!
sameeee, im also more interested in pvp changes over pve changes tbh, so for pve and raiding im moreso focused on how the classes feel over the nitty gritty details
Jesse: "The most important research I could do on your behalf; what do weapons-out run animations look like?" Me, who picked my main classes (MCH and GNB) based solely on weapons-out run/sprint animations: "Yes! YESSS! MY BOY!"
Honestly can't wait for your final impressions once this comes out. Your FFXIV vids are always a great watch, whether its trailer reactions, lore vids or first reaction seeing the end of each expansions.
Nidhana seems to be one of the Matanga who are being farmed for their faith to summon a primal just like we saw happen with the glowing towers and Lunar Ifrit in the most recent patch. Who knows what else they could use that faith power for though. Exciting lore times ahead.
Had to stop where the ‘potential spoilers ahead’ warning appeared, but thank you for showing how the job gear looks. Kinda struck between rolling into Endwalker as a Gunbreaker or a Warrior now 😂
SO glad I found a content creator who plays a (male) Lalafell! It's hard to see how things are going to look on my character sometimes, and your showcase of the artifact sets was perfect!
to be fair, the two lala genders are hardly different from eachother besides voices and the fact its gendered so there could be gear differences(which there isnt for atf gear most of the time)
Ah yes Tower of Zot, that was a wall for me as a kid playing FF4. Going back to the game these days, even the much harder 3D version, I realize just how awful at games I was as a child.
Oh God, the Tower of Zot in the DS remake. Almost every playthrough my FIRST FIGHT in that tower is with a group of monsters that one-shots me before I get a turn in. Then I reload and it doesn't happen again. It's REALLY weird. BTW, where the **** IS that tower in the game world? We don't go to a place on the map, we just go straight up.
Out of everyone who I've seen cover the media tour build, Jesse is the only one who actually knew that the Tower of Zot and the Magus Sisters are from FFIV, and that makes the old gamer in me very happy.
Don't worry about not having your job optimized on day 1. Everyone will be in the same boat of learning the new jobs and getting used to the changes to the old jobs. The community is very understanding of this learning period. That is why all of the raids and harder difficulty bosses are not released with the expansion. You will have plenty of time to learn the new and old jobs before raiding and extreme bosses get released. If you are ever nervous about going into a dungeon on a brand new job or one that you are still learning the changes just say so in chat. I promise it will be fine.
re: the comment about the german voice actress - Besides the obvious sort of middle eastern/indian vibe that thavnair has in general, we also see from the dancer quests that there is some oddly placed german influences, the Kriegstanz and the Totentanz and such so it's entirely possible she's a local
Me as a Lalafell RDM Main seeing the outfit: From the front: Ooh, that looks nice, love the jacket. From the side: Oof, that hat is pretty big, I wonder I---- From the front with weapon drawn, so the head tilts down: How the hell can he see?! That's gonna block my face expressions in cutscenes, isn't it?
Nice, Tower of Zot made it in. i dont play FFXIV (i do have a Sprout but i just cant bring myself to play) But knowing more FFIV material made it in makes me a happy. FFIV/II was my first as my grandma introduced me to the series.
Don't worry about not going in depth with the Jobs Jesse, there are plenty of other veteran XIV content creators like Mr Happy and MTQcapture who've got us covered on that front.
The way Garlemald looks with how devastated it is gives me FF15 vibes for when you finally get to Gralea, the empire capital at the end of the game. It's not really destroyed on this level but it's the same sort of atmosphere, dark and foreign compared to everything else you've seen before. Same sort of deal for when you go back to Insomnia at the end of FF15 and it's utter chaos. I dig it.
I'd you found yourself in the comments while watching, HEADS UP. Jesse does a good job of forewarned ng but from 8:40 onward there are spoilers for one of the dungeons and what part of the story is involved in it.
2:58 nooo how will we ever learn how that fountain work??? like how does one get water to rise up from the Ocean and out of the statue????? its gotta be some antient allagan tech or maybe being fueld by a primal or even Zodiark himself!!
Hello, Jessie! I wanted to say I highly enjoyed your depiction of the media tour - taking us through the areas as you did with your commentary, made me feel like I was there myself! And I appreciated that, as well as you showing the obligatory jobs and dungeon. I also noticed you chose the (superior, hehe) mid boss music for the boss montage background, which was pleasant to listen to as I watched the gameplay. Well done and as a newcomer to your 14 content, I do hope you continue to make more!
Thanks for this Jesse! Its the sort of breakdown I needed because you went through the same things I would have looked at and cared about haha. Its making me wish your FFXIV playthrough was on youtube in some capacity, I keep worrying that something is going to happen to the twitch playlist. Not enough streamers/youtubers get as pumped for Nero and Zenos as you and its good to see somebody have the same reaction I do whenever they show up in MSQ. Overall, great video, thank you, so glad you joined the community and went headfirst into it, heck yeah.
On the contrary, the opulence and apparently family wealth found in Sharlayan surprised me a lot! I pictured the culture that brought us such culinary triumphs as Archon Loaf to have comfortable but utilitarian homes.
I hope you upload your full playthrough of Endwalker when it releases on youtube, also looking forward to your playthrough of Hildebrand quest if you ever plan on continuing it.
This has nothing to do with anything but I feel SO gratified that it's the tower of zot and not tower of babil. Everyone kept calling it babil and I'm like, that isn't the theme of babil you fools, fully expecting it to end up as babil just for name recognition. I win nothing again internet!
I genuinely believe you joining this community has been a boon for us Jesse, looking forward to watching you play Endwalker with us :D
Agreed. I have so many of the bigger streamers reacting to Jesse's videos.

U sound like those guys that deal 5k dps during dungeon and stall everyone out :)
@@TamotojiTukamo Imagine thinking DPS actually matters in dungeons.

End-b'd Four slaps you.
*You slap Indeimaus.*
Old Sharlayan’s music is beautiful. I’ll be parking my character here permanently :)
the city is MASSIVE
Everyone else on the media tour: Here are these abilities, the rotation is possibly this, there's some utilitization here
Jesse: There's Blue abilities that make me do Red abilities, and then you do Purple abilities
Soken is gonna kill me with the new songs...
My god, just some previews in this video (Especially Old Sharlayan's theme) already made me want to cry...
That music is so good lol
I'm so excited for Endwalker. I'm even more excited to see that you've finally found "home" in an MMO again. This community is wonderful.
"It's in bad shape... and it looked like that well before we arrived!"
You don't need to lie to us, Jesse.
While I appreciate everyone else doing job gameplay deep dives, I really love you just goofing off and exploring zones and animations, Jesse. I would totally have done the same thing if I was invited. This is a huge part of why this game is great!
That subway in Garlemald looks really cool in particular.
honestly its cool having an enclosed hub of sorts where its sorta claustrophobic due to how horrible it is outside
GODS, THAT OLD SHARLAYAN'S THEME!
I'm already crying, dammit
I literally sobbed. So happy and relieved it's another stunner.
@@MaisieSqueak Right? I was really hoping for a long version of the Sharlayan portion of the main theme and I'm so happy to know it's real!
As someone who doesn't care much about the job changes, this was the kind of video that I was looking for. Focusing more on the areas, gears, dungeons etc. Thank you!
Pretty much: what pro raiders want to know versus what the causal players is mostly interested in.
Same. Don’t care about skill changes, talk to me about the vibe, characters, the world and so on.
sameeee, im also more interested in pvp changes over pve changes tbh, so for pve and raiding im moreso focused on how the classes feel over the nitty gritty details
Ah, a Sage and 2 Reapers. So basically every party come Endwalker.
I’m gonna stay as a WHM :P. I dunno, I’d rather wait to the hype dies down to pick up sage.
I've seen a "why is it always you three?" meme of Summoner, Sage and Reaper, for when a tank queues into a dungeon, and thought it was fitting.
Gonna stay as SAM and NIN after seeing the new job trailer
Good to know that tank queue remains dominant.
Yeah, I'm all set with WAR/SCH/BRD/SMN. Currently enjoy playing them, fingers crossed I'll still enjoy 'em once this expansion is released.
Everybody Else: Mechanics and how the new classes work.
Jesse: AESTHETICS!!!!
and I love that
Step One: Hear "Tower of Zot"
Step Two: Freak the frick out and fanboy everywhere.
Step Three: Breathe.
Step Four: CONTINUE TO FREAK OUT BECAUSE HOLY SHIT TOWER OF MOTHERFUCKING ZOT!
Even hearing the music just faintly in the background, I'm already so pumped up
Jesse: "The most important research I could do on your behalf; what do weapons-out run animations look like?"
Me, who picked my main classes (MCH and GNB) based solely on weapons-out run/sprint animations: "Yes! YESSS! MY BOY!"
First thing I am going to do in Endwalker? Unlock Reaper and Sage and watch the amazingness of my character doing the Battle and Victory emotes.
Honestly can't wait for your final impressions once this comes out. Your FFXIV vids are always a great watch, whether its trailer reactions, lore vids or first reaction seeing the end of each expansions.
the modern city looks like the insomnia ruins from ffxv, the water city looks like altisia(ffxv), the library looks like the crystarium (type 0)
Jesse I appreciate these moments of silence that let us enjoy music, scenery and all.❤
Nidhana seems to be one of the Matanga who are being farmed for their faith to summon a primal just like we saw happen with the glowing towers and Lunar Ifrit in the most recent patch. Who knows what else they could use that faith power for though. Exciting lore times ahead.
The music omg!!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Btw at 5:00
I hear black eyed peas, lets get it started song
Keep running running. Keep running running 🤣
Man thank you for this video Jesse. The stuff you like is what I generally like so it was very cool to see you goofing around the build!
Had to stop where the ‘potential spoilers ahead’ warning appeared, but thank you for showing how the job gear looks. Kinda struck between rolling into Endwalker as a Gunbreaker or a Warrior now 😂
ive pretty much decided to roll as samurai for the story but drk,gnb and war are suuuuuuuuuuuuuper tempting since i play those alot too
got me a very deserty glam for samurai now :3
SO glad I found a content creator who plays a (male) Lalafell! It's hard to see how things are going to look on my character sometimes, and your showcase of the artifact sets was perfect!

Ah yes Tower of Zot, that was a wall for me as a kid playing FF4. Going back to the game these days, even the much harder 3D version, I realize just how awful at games I was as a child.
the hardest part for me was the underworld section, but thats usually my fault for pushing the story and getting there severely under leveled.
Oh God, the Tower of Zot in the DS remake. Almost every playthrough my FIRST FIGHT in that tower is with a group of monsters that one-shots me before I get a turn in. Then I reload and it doesn't happen again. It's REALLY weird.
BTW, where the **** IS that tower in the game world? We don't go to a place on the map, we just go straight up.
you forgot 2 of the most important thing, check out battle pose and victory pose of these 2 new jobs
Holy, if the music playing during the boss fight is the new boss theme, I'm so down for that. Big fan of the choir hymn
As a lalafell player, I'm greatly appreciative of you modeling all the armor.
Out of everyone who I've seen cover the media tour build, Jesse is the only one who actually knew that the Tower of Zot and the Magus Sisters are from FFIV, and that makes the old gamer in me very happy.

10/10 preview, you're giving us the stuff we all really wanted!
those MCH goggles, look like something you crafted using Engineering in BC, but Hi-rez
i love it, finally a pair of goggles id actually use on my femroe

That little dood you focused on in Thav screams to high heaven of FFX.
Me as a Lalafell RDM Main seeing the outfit:
From the front: Ooh, that looks nice, love the jacket.
From the side: Oof, that hat is pretty big, I wonder I----
From the front with weapon drawn, so the head tilts down: How the hell can he see?! That's gonna block my face expressions in cutscenes, isn't it?
Wow, all the Artifact armors are gorgeous.
Seems like the music will be cooler than I expected for this expansion!
I'm very glad to see your love and intoxicated to the raptors and you didn't die.
Honestly the best insights I got was weapon proportions for lalafell on the new jobs so ty for your service
This kind of reminds me, nostalgically, of your old Cataclysm videos.
Loving the new high-end gear. The classes actually look proper again.
yeah most of the shadowbringers atf gear was very hit or miss but man this time around its all so damn good
Nice, Tower of Zot made it in. i dont play FFXIV (i do have a Sprout but i just cant bring myself to play) But knowing more FFIV material made it in makes me a happy. FFIV/II was my first as my grandma introduced me to the series.
Been loving your journey this past year. Thank you for getting me into FFXIV
Since the Tower of Zot theme played in the Endwalker benchmark, I'm really surprised that the dungeon appears to not use the theme at all.
Weapons out run animations...This man games.
6:51 RDM is getting a cape RDM is getting a cape RDM is getting a cape RDM is getting a cape RDM is getting a cape
Chilluminati led me here. So glad to see you're a part of our awesome community.
I know it's like saying water is wet, but the music is godlike.
As a 16bit era FF fan Tower of Zot will be AWESOME
Garlemald has some Final Fantasy XV vibes
Omg the music in Old Sharlayan!!!
Lovin' Jesse! Been following you since the Cata days and glad to have you in the FFXIV community! X3
The music! God the music... *Chef's kissI*
I just want to hear that full Old Sharlayan theme 😭😭😭
I don't suppose you managed to record the whole track Jesse? 😅
As a lala player myself, THANK GOD you did the armor montage. Everyone else is just a Catboi or Catgurl.

3:20 is that the old sharlayan day theme?!!!
Thanks for the video. Yours is the only one that I can see how the job gear looks like on a Lala. Nice !!!!!
I'd you found yourself in the comments while watching, HEADS UP.
Jesse does a good job of forewarned ng but from 8:40 onward there are spoilers for one of the dungeons and what part of the story is involved in it.
I say it again, I really want a video of Jesse nerding out over all the homages/tributes/references to earlier games in FF14.
3:51 Ike! Funnels!
My man Jesse doing the lord's work, showing us weapons-out sprints for the new jobs. Bless you, bless your soul Mr. Cox
2:58 nooo how will we ever learn how that fountain work??? like how does one get water to rise up from the Ocean and out of the statue????? its gotta be some antient allagan tech or maybe being fueld by a primal or even Zodiark himself!!
Who was the one that freaked out about the fountain? I forgot

I can't wait to hear more of the Old Sharlayan theme. Was really vibing to that!
THAT SONG. WHAT IS THAT INCREDIBLE SHARLAYAN SONG?!?!
Hory Shet that Dragoon Artifact Armor!!
I swear every new zone you showed of and I was just. "Dude we get to go there? Dude we get to go there! Dude etc."
Endwalker is cool and all but I'm more jealous that you got to talk with Yoshi P.
I hope you upload your full playthrough of Endwalker when it releases on youtube, also looking forward to your playthrough of Hildebrand quest if you ever plan on continuing it.
Jesse you lucky son of a gun! So glad you had fun. Looking forward to Endwalker!
2:25 is that refugee sitting on floor wearing the same head wrap as ARR Yugiri? We literally haven't seen any Domans wear that.
This is so hype, I'm buzzing for this expansion.
0:41 😮 It me!
I swear the Dragoon AR set looks like Batman from BvS.
I'm delighted that you're having fun. :D
Yeah, just be ready for a ton of Paladin/Sage/2 Reaper comp dungeons when Endwalker releases.
This has nothing to do with anything but I feel SO gratified that it's the tower of zot and not tower of babil. Everyone kept calling it babil and I'm like, that isn't the theme of babil you fools, fully expecting it to end up as babil just for name recognition. I win nothing again internet!
*Reads title*
_"Is it possible to learn this power?"_
"Train full of refugees..." yes lets ignore Nero just chilling there.
Music is awesome...
So that's why garleans call us savages, they have cars and ac with roads and electricity. Lmao
*Me, having started the free trial and only at lvl 24:* Wait, Thancred is there?
Looks like Ghost Train from FF6 in Subway
I'm probably gonna level my main DRG and reaper through Trust dungeons because there's no way DPS queue gonna pop for me.
