My guess is that the wol got goblins and kobolds mixed up, thinking about how the goblins fought with mechs in Alexander and the Longstop. But even still it's kind of a stretch.
picked FFXIV back up after a decent hiatus, and this helped immensely in refreshing the story for me. super easy to follow with great narration, looking forward to watching your other videos!
I love having your videos here to sum everything up once I'm done with content. Sometimes it takes so long to finish stuff, I lose the plot, but at least you got me!
While i always laugh at the "lol WOL has brain damage" theory i feel the real reason the primals all change their form is because we are summoning them in a reflection shard. While the concept of a primals existance may be the same from shard to shard the planets own interpretation of those primals reflect the forms they take. Especially when it can be assumed the 12 could also be weaker living cores of each shard as mommy hydealyn was the core and will of ehterys
They gave hints to why the primals were changing. We jump started Eden which was Mitron and as he gained a bit more awareness he was pouring more aether into the primals than Ryne had planned. We started with Leviathan and it wasn't all that different from what we fought on the Source but as we fought more and more he became more aware and we got Garuda and Ifrit looking totally different and far more powerful. The Cloud of Darkness was an exact copy of the minion that we were carrying around. I don't think we actually got to see what the primals that were native to that shard would have looked like if they weren't tampered with, but the fire primal may have been Belias on the first instead of Ifrit and such because like you said the concept is the same but the primals likely wouldn't have been.
while this is a very good summary, i have to say i HEAVILY disagree that ryne was “selfish” for wanting gaia back and that mitron wasn’t. logrif did make that promise to mitron, you’re right… but gaia is not the same person who made that promise. gaia is a 17 year old girl from eulmore who until about three hours before meeting him had no clue who he was. mitron, from my understanding, is kinda a microcosm of emet from msq; a man driven so mad by guilt and greif that he will do ANYTHING to reclaim the past that will never return to him. yes, he can force gaia to forget the memories she made in this life and inject her past life into her. but that’s still not HIS gaia, not HIS logrif; it’s a shade of the original. and yes, maybe ryne is a little selfish. ryne is also a 17 year old girl who until 3 years before msq (according to encyclopedia eorzea) was locked up in eulmore and was forced into a destiny she didn’t fully understand. and gaia was one of the few people who could even REMOTELY relate to that. forgive her if she does in fact act a tiny bit irrational when her closest friend who is actually on the first is forced to become someone neither of them actually recognize. i apologize if the tone of the comment is angry. i’m not mad at you, and like i said, otherwise this is a fantastic summary!
I can understand your perspective however Gaia is the equivalent of a person with amnesia. Just because you make friends with this person when the person who knows who they really are shows up to restore their memories you would be the villain if you fought against them because you like the new version of them. This isn't exactly the same as Emet trying to kill all of the unsundered people to restore their completed versions. Mitron and Loghrif are sundered and have been since they were initially restored so this Gaia is the exact same as the one who he made his promise too. And since that promise was to restore them to who they were originally the only thing that makes Ryne and the others not be labeled as villains for keeping the 2 of them apart is the fact that they are Ascians. If they were 2 random Viera or Hyur who weren't planning to destroy a world no one would be able to justify Ryne thinking her friendship of a few days holds more weight than a relationship that spanned centuries and more.
@@ChroniclerofLore I have to disagree with you in this instance, mostly because mitron was stealing gaia's memories of her time with you guys in order to make her take his side. that just feels messed up and controlling to me. if he had let gaia decide for herself whether she wanted to stay with him and return to the ascians, she probably would have honestly made that choice, but the fact that he feels the need to take away her human memories altogether so she won't decide to leave him is what makes me think ryne had the right of it. it's not fair for him to make her decisions for her by altering her perspective like that. hell, endwalker shows us an ascian who doesn't see himself as the convocation member he once was: fandaniel, who identifies far more with his former life as amon than as hermes. it's not unprecedented for ascians to not want to be reminded of their former lives, and in fandaniel/amon's case it probably only added to his very obvious issues. basically, i think it's messed up that mitron took those memories and that capacity to make the decision away from gaia, even if he did it out of some misplaced sense of protecting her. it should have been her choice. that's just my perspective though, I get if yours is different
This was such a good story video! The summaries, footage, and the bits of humor were great. I sat down with popcorn and watched this on the TV (haven't finished the raids but I wanted the lore) I hope you keep making these!
These videos are great because usually during story moments my friends and I have consumed copious amounts of adult beverages and things get blurry in the memory
I just want to take this time to say thank you. I had to skip alot of stuff to catch up to my raid group. And I really appreciate your hard work and well made video.
I just ripped through Eden's then found this video, and now I need to see more of your videos as a I go along XD, great narration and you cracked me up.
Thank you for the video, was very entertaining and informative :3 I was just wondering if you knew/had an explanation for the what happens in e12s? Part 2 you fight Gaia as "The Oracle of Darkness" and I'm guessing its because Mitron again, dies when you defeat them combined but Gaia somehow regains *other* memories instead of sending Mitron off and before Ryne gets a chance to pull Gaia back to the first she transforms? just curious if you knew anything about it and what exactly the oracle of darkness is, thanks
For a while I ran around as Afro Samurai because I had just watched the anime and decided that would be a great glamour for a while. Then i became a fantasia addict.

So was I. Repeatedly lol
Right?!?! That was too funny!

Very well narrated with a style of your own. Keep em coming, very informative and entertaining!
Thank you. I plan on making videos until I cover all the lore FFXIV has to offer. Which means I'll be doing this for a while.

Welcome back to FFXIV. Glad to hear that my video helped refresh your memory and welcome to the channel 😀.

thank you for this guide! I honestly didnt have the time to raid these past 2 years so your video helped me to catch up to the lore
You're welcome 😊. Glad I could help

thanks for making this video btw, it was a really well done retrospective of the raid series and i enjoyed it a lot!
Hey man, thank you so much for your videos. There's a lot I won't be able to do before Endwalker, and your videos are perfect lore summaries! ❤️
Thank you. My Free Company wanted me to rush and catch up - being able to get a summary on what I missed is great.
I'm glad I could be of assistance 😌
Love your videos man, you're great at sharing lore, and your hint of humor makes it enjoyable to listen to.
OMG I have to say this was a real labor of Hercules, thank you so much for this, you're awesome!
You're welcome 😊. I appreciate the compliment and I'm glad you enjoyed it
This was such a good story video! The summaries, footage, and the bits of humor were great. I sat down with popcorn and watched this on the TV (haven't finished the raids but I wanted the lore) I hope you keep making these!
I'm happy to hear that you liked it. I plan on covering every bit of lore in game the same way so stay tuned 😁
These videos are great because usually during story moments my friends and I have consumed copious amounts of adult beverages and things get blurry in the memory
Lol. I am glad I could aid you in getting the story you missed during the relaxing happy time haze granted by beverages a little stronger than coffee.
I just want to take this time to say thank you. I had to skip alot of stuff to catch up to my raid group. And I really appreciate your hard work and well made video.
You're very welcome. I'm glad I could help you catch the lore you missed and I hope you continue to enjoy my content 😁
Thanks for the help on recapping me on what happened and also what new things happened 😃
You're welcome. Thanks for the support 😁
I just ripped through Eden's then found this video, and now I need to see more of your videos as a I go along XD, great narration and you cracked me up.
Glad I could give you a few laughs 😃. Welcome to the channel
Great video! I skipped a lot of this dialog when I did the raid series so this was amazing for me!
I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊.
hi! Thanks for this video, it was really cool and it helped my friend catch up!
You're welcome. I'm glad I could help, and thanks for the support
Well now I know who im gonna listen to the story from. Nice bassy voice!
Thank you. I certainly appreciate the support 😁
Awesome work. Nicely narrated. I really enjoyed this
Appreciate this. Glad to know we out here.
Glad you enjoyed it. Hope to keep providing good content for you in the future.
Thanks for this. I got so excited to do the fights I autopiloted through the story. Love the recap
You're welcome 😊. Glad you liked it
Thank you for the video, was very entertaining and informative :3

That was awesome. Thanks for the recap!
You're welcome 😊. And thanks for the support.
I love that you're Afro Samurai.
Glad you like it. That's 1 of my favorite glams 😁
You expect Eden to replicate your memories exactly. It's not creation magic like the ancients
I like your style, it's funny but still easy to understand.
thank you for this great summarizatioin
You're welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Ryne: give me back my friend!
Mitron: bitch... *she's my wife!*
And that is the perfect summary of Eden 🤣🤣
Great video!
Thank you 😊.
I love the many fantasias in the recap lol
In my defense this was filmed over multiple patches. However that doesn't change the fact that I have used at least 15 Fantasia pots...
@@ChroniclerofLore yo i cant blame you im an addict..
I'm debating using another fanta now lol
The Fatebreaker == Ryne's daddy issues~
wow what a plot for a raid - claps-
They did very well for this one imo.
I love your character. Reminds me of Sazh from FF13.
For a while I ran around as Afro Samurai because I had just watched the anime and decided that would be a great glamour for a while. Then i became a fantasia addict.
Dude i love your voice
😁😁😁 thanks.
What is the title of your book and where can i buy it???
Check out my novel Eternal Reign here:

😁😁
THANKS
You're welcome 😊
Wait, but there was a Dark Primal... Odin.
Instead of him saying rummaging around his innards he should have said rearranging his insides but then it sounds like he had sex with Eden
It all sounds very inappropriate lol
Fun fact the official ff14 Twitter ships Gaia Ryne
PROOF?
Receipts?
All I took away from it when I played was that a goth girl would rather have coffee biscuits than spend the rest of her life with her true love.
Those things must really be delicious. I kinda want some now.
@@ChroniclerofLore I’ve had some before, they’re actually quite good.
As a fan of coffee I'm pretty sure I would love them.
Ryne is the new true love
