Great video. I liked it a lot. When's your next Star Wars video. Or will you do a Star Trek video. If not those. Then why don't you do the era's of an earlier Final Fantasy game.
This video led me down a rabbit hole that opened my eyes on Lalafells.
Since Sil'Dih is not a city you can "normally" visit I began to suspect foul play. What I discovered was the most heinous of war crimes the little people ever perpetuated on themselves...
As a lalafell, I have to say we are by far the most evil of the playable races.
A lot of the worse crimes in FFXIV seems to have been committed by Lalafells.
It's not a war crime if you win
@@Zack_Raynorwhere's your proof that it happened?
@@Zack_Raynor as lalafells now i knew why i had a tendency to pull some pranks
You know, for a people that has spent so much time shunning the knowledge they thought caused the previous Umbral Calamity before their Astral Era, they got to keep a lot of it in use to the modern era.
hm, yes and no.
Our jobs of todays are a far cry from their origin's and power.
Gotta remember white mages of Old stood toe to toe with Black mages.
Black Mages of old were basically unbeatable until the rise of white magic.
the WoL is basically unlocking and learning arts that they used to exist in the old ages.
Not quite. Many of the professions in the present era are watered down versions of the old ones, ie. black magic becoming thaumaturgy, and the only reason why the Warrior of Light is able to obtain so much ancient knowledge is because they keep stumbling into so many soul crystals that basically lets them speedrun their training.
@@sixthcairncorrect, in fact until recently Black Magic was entirely outlawed (thaumatury being a regulated codified verson which was considered potent enough to serve as a weapon without the practitioner being a threat to themselves or the world) this edict was in effect for the majority of the storyline and the Warrior of Light kept their use of it on the downlow. The Warrior convinced everyone to lift the ban during the events of the class questline. Same is the case with White Magic, it became heavily regulated, only to be used by Paji, during the course of the White Mage class quests, the Warrior convinced everyone to loosen the regulation. Scholar magic and primal summoning had been lost entirely and you rediscover it in the class quest. All of these questlines tie into the greater story of the game and effectively change dialogue and interactions in both the MSQ and side content with other characters. These limitations are highligted by the fact regular non player adventurers are all classes and do not have access to jobs (with the exception of retainers) with both the ARR duty assist members and command squads being only classes.
@@foxdavion6865 wait, so NPCs Class/Job were called something like thaumaturge instead of black mage aka they dont have access to such thing!?
@@shiro3146correct. The system which predates the TRUST system which is the scripted single player dungeon content with adventurer or scion (and friends) companions doesn't have these restrictions because it is new lore content, but the OG single player dungeon experience with your Grand Company Squadron consisted of adventurers who are stuck to the class system and do not have access to job abilities, even at level 60, so as you'd imagine, their competency falls off sharply after level 30
So awesome! I’d love to see the same type of video covering the history of the Garleans, their origins, and how those history connects to the different eras mentioned here.
I was gonna comment this, want to hear more about the Garleans
All of that in game what are u talking about, play the game and u will learn
Only Devin could do a sponsor and blend it successfully with the subject. Bloody Outstanding! Well done! Cheers from Tennessee
Was about to comment on it. usually i couldn't care less for ads, but this was so smooth it made me laugh, good job who ever have written that.
HE HAS A NAME?
@@mistmanjones3555 It's Officially Devin in the credits.
Oh man, I wish I had has this back when I started playing FFXIV.
Thank you, guys! You rock!
Just like I say with the dragon age videos you all should be paid for the promotion I never even thought twice about any final fantasy my whole life but I find myself loving and looking forward to these
Videos only behind the first age lord of the rings and warhammer end times videos
Would love to see more MMO lore videos. Like Guild Wars, Warcraft and Warframe.
This may be the most underrated FFXIV video ever. Holy shi-, great production, animation, narration, everything! Ty for this!
*"Yo K&G"* 👋👋
*We gotta see the next part to the Mongol Alternate History*
I actually just recently got back into Final Fantasy XIV for the first time in eight years so this is very topical. Thanks for the great content.
I'm very impressed by this documentary and a seeker of Lore from FF14, 10/10 is all i can say, this must be quite alot of work, thank you!
This absolutely rules. From the professional visuals to the logical organization/presentation of history without bells, whistles, and memes is an absolute joy. Can't wait for more FF14 content. Thank you to all creators involved.
Oh man, I really hope you guys delve more into some of the other parts of the FFXIV universe, especially the First, the Void, Ultima Thule, and how the Garlean Empire formed. This was an excellent primer for anyone getting into FFXIV and filled in a few gaps I missed from the game's history.
I'm Brazilian, thank you very much for putting subtitles in your video, it helped me watch it
Thank you also for the great content, I'm new to the game, I just finished ARR and as I don't understand English very well it was a pleasure watching this video
It was a lot of work but hot damn, it was worth it!
Nicely done on the writing, sir. That aside, ever find the data you were seeking about the blood sands on balmung?
It dawned on me much later you were likely meaning the gladiator pit and not the player run rp combat event which is why I took you out to where Gertude the ungood has her fate spawn. Silly me.
@@BongSwansong Oh yes I found exactly what I was looking for!
Woah, a FFXIV video!? Love to see it
Really enjoyed this, as i play FFXIV. Great work!
One hell of a sponsor ad and segue. Impressive setup. Impressive delivery.
Seriously impressive work on this. I'm in love with your channel now. Narration on point. Animations on point. Beautiful delivery.
Holy smokes! Well done!
Could we please get a video on the Battle for Autobot City?
You guys should do a FFXII episode foreal. The mighty Archadian Empire and their technological might.
I have been itching to get more into the lore, even got the second lore book today. This was so well done! Loved the animations. I hope you can dive deeper into other parts of lore within the FFXIV universe.
having the "behind the scenes" knowledge of the whys and hows of a lot of this really puts things into a very interesting perspective
This is incredible! Great video, i've played around 700h and for sure some of this is mentioned, but it's so scattered, how do you even remember all of this in such a consise manner
I didn't play FF14, it's an MMO. But If your favourite part about Final Fantasy as a series is how it constantly reinvents the wheel and you just love all the references and mythology gags then this video is great.
I love how during the Nym explanation it’s just a ship with the signature Lala “surprise” emote over and over… x)
This was nothing short of AMAZING! Great storytelling and research on the lore!
Thank you for doing this without any spoilers so i can show my friends who are getting into it
Great video
One detail: The current location of Uldah was the original location of Sildih
Incredible work. Thank you !
Great, epic work brings the rather nebulous history of FFXIV to life (especially pre-Garlean empire history)
There were no lore channels last time I played, now I return to this, thankyou.
Pleased to see you had Synodic Scribe on staff for this. Foremost Loremaster of FFXIV. Great video.
Considering how often the discord I'm in gets taken over by this game, a basic knowledge would probably be useful
I really love this documentary. Hopefully you guys can cover about the history in Othard and the history of Garleans. And some day a spoiler history summary up to Endwalker
I learned so much from this. Thank you
I wish we could've started at the VERY beginning, with the Ascians and the creation of Zodiark and Hydelyn
hey at least those old players actually fight in 7th Umbral calamities
like they litterally fight there as if they are there and they experienced some part of 6th Astral Era, heck they even had their own storylines than us not to mention they are somewhat mentioned(like that players making a wall with goubue dubbed as Great Gubue wall) and i mean it! they fight not only for Eorzia but also for their PCs and their internet
Oh niiiiice! This was one i was looking for!
I already was invested on the story of the game, after watching this video i'm in love with it.
A must watch to every FF XIV player!
Congratulations on this incredible content! ❤
Awesome video, more on ffxiv please!
Also one on golarion (pathfinder adventure setting) would be very cool too
Awesome summary! You earned a subscriber ❤️
Such a good video! Thank you :D
Man! Amazing Vid!! I learned shit I even I didn't know and I have been playing since 1.0 Beta!
This amazing! Thank you for this video
Dang this video is good amazing job!!! I love it!
This is an absolutely incredible video and is basically better than even what Squenix is doing to show this lore. If you showed this video inside of FF14, I would stay there, watch the entire thing, and come out of it with a hundredfold increased appreciation of the lore of the game. I cannot stress just how good this is.
The narration, the text, the art style, the pacing, this is so simple, yet so in-depth. I wish every lore video was this easy to listen to! Thank you so, so very much.
I've played this game for a few years now, and while I'm up to date on the MSQ and content, this video was a nice, compact and very easy to follow refresher on the Star's history
Thank you for putting it together!
Never realized before how much the Allagan empire shared with the Eldar from WarHammer 40k. Their very downfalls were both brought about for nearly the exact same reasons. Tis pretty dope.
Subbed! Amazing video. Cant whait to see more.
Good work, how about the forgotten realms some time in the future ?
I pray that one day you'll do a video on Druss the Legend, or any of David Gemmel's work!
Cool. Subbed. Thanks!
This was great. Keep it up. 😊
I love seeing more FF14 stuff, since FF12 and Tactics are technically canon in FF14's lore; I would love to see you guys cover that next.
Please do the Dune series.
So for hundreds of thousands of years, life on this planet was demarcated by periods of prosperity/conflict followed by elemental devastation brought about by an unknown source??? But then all of a sudden, the most recent calamity was non elemental, brought about directly by the actions of a civilization, and ended in the blink of an eye???? I guess that's progress but I still don't totally understand why the writers decided to make it that way.
Anyway, thank you so much for making this video!!!! Made perfect sense and covered so much ground 👏👏
love this
This is sick!
The world is called Etheirys, not Hydaelyn... @2:41
@Wizards and Warriors Is there any chance to see some 40k stuff coming from you guys in the grim dark future?
As a ff14 fan this is fantastic!
Хорошая работа!
Wow I've just got into final fantasy lore because of ff14 on Xbox now and wow I'm shocked at how good it is
I hope developers have seen this video, its unbelievable!
Never realized how fucking BIG the allagan empire was. I mean it makes sense cuz the ruins are in pretty much every expansion. But GODDAMN
Could you do 40k all tyranic wars
Thanks for finishing this series. I never gave FF14 a shot due to the whole MMO thing, but this kindles my interest.
you can view ffxiv more like a single player game with mmo abilities - the story is amazing and duty support means you can even do dungeons with npcs
Curious, where can I find this information in general to read? Any suggested books, web sites to read?
Can we have one on the Garlean Royal line and how it connects with the Ascians?
Nice video, but few corections. Umbral Eras are not only when the Calamities happen, but also aftermaths. Umbral Eras are those of Chaos and healing from said Calamities, and can last hundres of years. The shortest we have as far as is known is Seventh Umbral which started with Bahamuth Rampage, lasted for five years and ended when Three States of Eorzea united into an alliance. But the time lines is basically Calamity -> Umbral Era (The Time of Darkness) -> Astral Era (The Time of Light) -> Calamity -> Umbral Era and so on and on. And it is always during the Umbral Eras when Warriors of Light rise and slowly help to heal the wounded world, thus resulting in Astral Era.
Can you please do a video on the warhammer end times
I really like this style of FF14 history and I am wondering, do you have any plans to do this for the original Final Fantasy? Before ARR I mean.
Please continue
Wow... Other channels that tried to tell the history of FF14 was just regurgitating back what was told in the game, which was already confused to me.
Maybe its your team's visual and art designs that helped me picture and formulate thoughts of what happened in FF14. I'm understanding more and more of the past in FF14. Most of the things with the Allagan Empire failing, its connection to the World of Darkness, and Amon's actions, finally made sense.
If I read more lore about it, I could, at least now, understand the premise instead of skipping past because it felt like history's lore gibberish to me.
I hope you guys do a history lore of Hydaelyn and Zodiark, what led to their summoning, and of the other shard worlds. There's not enough information about it yet, but when there is enough to make the content, I'll be waiting.
Xande started a cult of personality that led to the formation of the Allagan Empire, which began absorbing the neighbouring lands. After his death, his people made clones of him.
Solus Zos Galvus started a cult of personality that led to the formation of the Garlean Empire, which began absorbing the neighbouring lands. After his death, his people made clones of him.
I am sensing a pattern.
Love the video can you do harry potter series
Enjoyed the episode but a bit of a spoiler for Heavensward. I would love a Legends of the Galactic Heroes episode (I know the title is goofy but it is seriously a great show)
Ascians: *All according to Keikaku*
A very good lore documentary. Though i must ask, did you guys purposefully skip the Garlemald history because of spoiler?
Well they spoiled that Louisoix became Phoenix tho
Can you do FF16 lore history when the game come out and Endwalker lore also?
And also Zelda BOTW lore.
It is unironically good wtf?
The world is called Etheirys,
Absolute power corrupts absolutely - MF DOOM
I wonder if all this is how the whole FF series starts. The warrior of light was the hero of FF 1
Good video, but you skipped the pre history. The time before the sundering and that conflict. But, I suppose that might still be considered spoiler territory. So, I understand it's omission.
FFXI - Vana'Diel anyone?
✌
Please make another ffxiv video!
Poor saint Shiva, this is the hamster and the banana all over again.
I gotta say. I love the courage it took for the devs to see their game wasn't working, so they let the grand quest to save the world... FAIL in canon. A brilliant way to reboot the world and effectively reset everything story and mechanics wise back to zero. And even leave the fallout of that failure as future questlines. Huge risk, but considering how popular FF14 is... I think it worked out.
Is this storyline spoiler-free? I've just started XIV and I'm devouring the lore but afraid to see any big upcoming plot points!
👍
I would like to ask for History of Hammerworld (official name for Warhammer Fantasy World)
Not History of Empire. Not History of Just humanity, but entire world. From the coming of the Old Ones, to the Breaking of Polar Realm Gate, Wars with Demons, Elf Civil War, War of Beard, Raise of Nagash and Tomb kings, raise of Skaven, orks, black orks, but do not do Endtimes. As far as I am concerned End Times never happened and story ends in perpetual state of war at the start of chaos invasion full
Vermintide like in 40K
i assume the real beginning of "hydaelyn" was left out cause its still fresh somewhat?
but i also see you're missing some events too from the past such as: the arrival of the ixal on eorzea, the broken pact between limsa an the beast tribes which lead to the summonings of Titan and Leviathan, how the ancients of Goug created the lighthouse and then later fled north to ilsabard for fear of persecution and subjugation by the other established nations, uldah's betrayal of the amalja which lead to them summoning ifrit in retaliation, Ganon's creation of Geomancy which was used to build othard up as a nation, Tenzen bringing peace to the eastern shores by bringing man and auspice into harmony, the schools of the Fist of Rhalgr being split and eventually destroyed by mad king theordric, how bozja repealed Allag by creating an eikon queen, Midgardsomr's arrival upon "hydaelyn" before Allag was an empire and his children spreading out across the continent to multiply and grow, how before magitek the garlean people relied upon voidsent for protection,
myrlweb banning piracy to reform limsa and bring order, Raubahn's rise to fame at the coliseum which not only earned him freedom but also bought him a seat on the syndicate an allowed him to create a military body in the form of the immortal flames, and how the duskwight fell out of favor with the elementals an tarnished as outcasts by the formed gridanian nation, and there is still a ton more lmao
Does it ever get annoying with all these "fans" in the comment section, constantly nagging for videos other than the one you just posted?
I know this is getting tedious but this is the 4th time asking for when is SW it's been you're most popular video since the last one came out
The sound effects are really annoying if you’re just listening to this. This video would be much improved by simply omitting them
