The thing that I will carry with me forever is this game, and this expansion. Yoshida cared and trusted us enough to tell us the truth: life will be suffering, there will be pain, and we cannot escape our fate. But we do not need to collapse into ourselves and give up. Hope is our strength, and it won't always be enough...but it *will* keep us strong. To forge ahead.
SE: "Hey folks, here are some feelings!" FFXIV Players: "I nearly died due to feels." I know I'm waiting to see what comes next for FFXIV. And thank you for sharing your journey through Endwalker with us, Karina.
The edits make this golden, i didn't even realize or notice you had changed some things because of how fitting and seamless it was. You are one of my favorite content creators and i wish you the best
To all the WoTT & friends. Ya'll are amazing, and I love the content. The banter, shenanigans, jokes and everything. It's ok if it comes out a bit slower, take good care of yourselves and your lives. I can only speak for myself, but I'll be here, even if it takes a bit longer, cause it's worth it. Cheers, best of luck and good health to you all.
The ending was cinematic perfection love all of the edits you were able to do thru this video Scribble. Been loving all of your content for the past ever XD Dont feel bad about the pace you have been putting out content being slow life is always a thing. To all of WoTT you all are amazing and always love your interactions, banter and chemistry together.
Thank you for the videos. This story was definitely not the most condusive to a reaction style video but what you got was incredibly enjoyable and you're thoughts on the unrecorded content and creative flair were very much appreciated. Thank you.
Pretty accurate rendition of that final battle, your added sound effects though make it a masterpiece. Honestly I think this expansion messed with a lot of people, so if there's any comfort to be had its that you're not alone in the feelings it dredged up for many others. The more times I hear others talk about how this story hit hard for others the lighter I feel in a way and I hope its the same for others who've dealt with difficult emotions time and time again to know that it's not just a "you" thing.
I'm soo glad i wasnt the only one who was crying after meeting the parents. Also, the Mommy Fight Sequence was REALLY well done. The ending fight was very much "Wait... YOU CANT DO THAT AGAIN!!!" *shield happens* Party Chat: LET'S GET THIS BITCH AND GO FUCKING HOME!" All in all, I am so very glad you enjoyed your Walk to the End.
OMG that ending scene though was hilarious. I've always loved your videos, and I knew this one was a struggle for you so I'm happy that you got it done, if only if helps a tiny smidge that it's out of the way. The video quality was great regardless. I actually liked you pausing to have Edit Karina reminisce on the scenes, even if the footage wasn't there. Perhaps it might be worthwhile to add them regardless if you have the footage or not in the future. Depends on how much extra work it is for you - your call as always. This has been an amazing journey - and I know you're not nearly done. We'll wait patiently for your next videos! Cheers!
Clicked on that video the second I saw the notification and my god I love what you did with hydlean o.o feels like watching a trailer! Now to keep watching the video >3>; can’t wait to see more of your videos! Edit: I can understand why you said that about ultima and the scene with the two, that was just.......wowie! And I’ll always watch your videos ^^ no matter the wait, you make them worth the wait ^^ so keep up the good work Karina.
I kept falling asleep in Ultima Thule. I work a full-time job and the ques were so bad that by the time I got in the game, I would get tired so fast. I clicked on this so fast because it had been a while, and the way you did the Mommy fight was amazing. The ending did make me giggle though. Reminded me of that one you did for Sigmascape.
I love the extra montages you do of the characters. It gives so much more weight and feel to what is going on in the game and in the video. Also as someone who has battled depression on and off for nearly 20 years I totally get where you are coming from with the last area. After finishing the game I couldn't play on it for a month because it destroyed me. Hopefully 6.1 provides a more upbeat story! Thanks for the video and wishing you all the best 🙂
It really was a battle of good vs evil. When you fought the good, you got a super epic trust battle with amazing editing. When you fought the evil, you got 90k'd and then you forgot to record Zenos. Perfectly balanced, as all things should be. By all means, take your time on your 'late' content. We can wait, and will wait, because we are here for YOU. So keep being you. :)
Just finished watching the video- Thank you so much for sharing your adventure with us, even when you have so much stuff on your plate! Your videos help me more than you will ever know, Liz. The efforts you put into this video make me so happy. Thank you for brightening my day!!! ^^
Honestly, I super appreciate how much you Karina-fied your playthrough. It doesn't feel like a playthrough or even a recap, really? It really does feel like I'm witnessing YOUR personal journey, your WoL, and I love it. A lot of videos are "look at my reaction, look at how funny we are, etc" and don't get me wrong - those videos are also great! But there's this... definitely personal tinge to this set of videos that makes it feel... not intimate but like. Real. It feels like a mix CD from a friend. Anyway, even with the things you weren't able to record, I still enjoyed this video a lot and thank you for all the videos and the time you take to do them. ♥
Clicked on the video so fast! I love watching your group on FFXIV, it never fails to make me smile. I have yet to finish the video and I'm watching it now, but I hope you have a great day and thank you for your amazing videos! ♥ Edit: I just finished the video. I loved the cinematic shots while fighting Hydaelyn so much. I personally never did it with the trust but it looks incredibly cinematic and makes it harder. When you got to Ultima Thule, I understand why you didn't record it. It hit really, really hard and it takes it's toll, I just hope that while it was a rough zone to go through, with all the set up for goodbyes, it still ended in a positive experience over all. Also the voice over for the choice when you use Azem's crystal was just *mwah* chefs kiss. Also 10/10 best Zenos fight scene, that made my day. I love your videos and I would wait however long you need, as long as you're also taking care of youself in the process. ♥:)
Crystal Hell was what I also called it when I went through that section, as well. XD The editing during Hydaelyn's fight, too - FANTASTIC!! And the crystal color!! :O ITS SO PRETTY!!!
Honestly, overall, you did superb job. Your editing brought life to the scenes that brought out the most emotions. You did your best through all the hardships: queue times, 2002 error and 90k errors, and no one should and will fault you for that. Way to stick it out right to the very. And I very much look forward to the rest of the content you have in store.
no joke I was crying about Venat for the 54895734895348th time during the montage (which was a beautiful touch) and then I remembered I had a video meeting in 5 minutes and had to pull myself together
Liz, you did good. I want you to just know that we would not all be here watching this if it was not good content. You and your group are honestly enough to bring a smile to my face even after ENDWALKER MADE ME FEEL AGAIN. ok a little salt still remains. but I hope that you guys have a good time with the content to come and dont stress yourself out, have fun with it. Thats when we get the best show to watch is when you all are just having fun with the game we all know and love, and hopefully bring more people into wanting to love it too.
All of your videos have helped me and my family over the last few months. As a caregiver, this funny content is what I need to not break down and cry when things are rough.
I'm always happy to see a new WotT vid. I love the bantering between your friends and your quips during MSQ. (Finally another Urianger fangirl). Really excited for more content but please don't overwork yourself.
This channel and especially these vids have very quickly become "insta-click, insta-like, insta-share-with-my-friends" fodder. Thank you so much for all your work making them, and for putting them on YT for us to enjoy. Honestly very excited to see what else you have in store in the future.
legit cried three times because your edits were so amazing. i gain nothing but joy each time i watch these ;w; i can only hope you don't push yourself too hard, you're a blessing to the world
You know, missed a chance for the Hydalaen sunder for when the light disappears to just wake up in the starting cutscene for the game beside the twins. “You’re finally awake!”
Thanks so much for all your hard work on this Liz, you did so well with the editing on the Second trial fight! Excited for the next vid what ever it is and take care of yourself too. Your health and well being is important. If things take a bit longer to come out then they take longer to come out, I can wait as long as I need to for you to feel that the video is ready. All the support and positive vibes for you and everyone in WoTT.
I love the cinematic take you did with the Hydaelyn battle as well as I know how you felt with both the Urianger moment, the second to last dungeon, Ultima Thule is a HUGE understanding of a skip and I don't blame you about that last Zenos fight because it came out of nowhere for everyone! Heck I'm already planning on doing it again on New Game+ to show what my summons and I went through! It was awesome! Either way this has been a great journey so far and take your time with your vids, have a bit of me time with your favourite drink and a cuddle with Kel if you have to and I'll be waiting patiently for Part 4 and the Pandaemonium stuff. I'm truly curious on your reactions to Smileton! XD
Fun fact: if you stand in the aoe where Ysayle/Shiva puts her ice block, she'll actually push you away before she places it instead of hurting you. Whoever in the team that made this dungeon thought of that is really mean and I love and hate them at the same time. Feelswalker indeed. Also fun fact: when doing the second trial with the Trust, Y'Shtola is the only of the NPCs who do every single mechanic right. This is because she can see the aether and correctly interpret every cast. So if you're having trouble, just follow the catgirl. :P
I'm late commenting, but I just wanted to geek out about that final attack from the boss. The Scions praying was exactly like the scene during the opening on ARR, when we see the Scions pray against Bahamut 🥹 The devs went all out on this game and I love seeing it.
Your videos have honestly helped me through some trying times the last few months. You and all of WoTT have made me smile and laugh when my world has been full of tears. You all keep on being strong and keep on playing this game we know and love so much. Icy AKA Zalera Petra [Mateus] -Edit: Take all the time you need with your videos. I rather them be delayed and you be all right than you wearing yourself thin trying to mass produce videos. I will watch them and share them with my sister no matter what.
Venat broke me. Urianger and Bloewyda crushed me. Hydaelyn mercilessly dance on the remains. Ultima Thule reminded me of the darkest thoughts and feelings I've ever had. I could barely see the final walk. And then the blooms. Reaching out to Meteion, asking her to come with us. I don't know how there will ever be anything else in this game that will hit me that hard. I had been prepared, I knew what was coming when The Mothercrystal let me take on a Trial with the Scions. And it still was not nearly enough. Thank you, XIV, and I hate your guts. You really don't hold things back.
Love what you did on the Hydaleyn fight there. Funny thing is, my own fight with depression seemed to make it easier to get through Ultima Thule and its events. As for the delay, well... anticipation just makes these videos taste all the sweeter. Your videos are some of the few that are instant, automatic views for me. TL;DR: we cool.
"I've always been salty about the lack of good looking gunblades in this game." Fucking saaaaaaaaaaaaaame. I swear the only decent looking gunblades are the base relic and the deepshadow manatrigger. Also, the editing on the hydaelyn fight was AMAZING! I don't even want to know how the fuck you got those angles WHILE fighting the boss. Insane.
Abolsutely stella editing (as always) but this one really hits in the feels department :') Honestly I'm always excited to see a new video from you and can't wait for the raid shenanigans that's gonna happen in Pandaemonium!
My fondest memories of the past 7-8 years come from this game. This was a perfect. If it were all to end, and THANK GOD IT DOESN'T, this would have been the way to do it.
I came here specifically while this video is paused on another TV to argue with Ryn about gunblades because I can, right now, point out four excellent looking gunblades. Scaven has that sweet switchblade action and looks nice and industrial, Blade's Resolve I love (and honestly I'm weak to any glow effect that is closer to hard light than just 'pretty glow'), the Matchlock Greatclub is nice for a 'blunt' feeling weapon which *most* bladed weapons don't have, and Hyperion is a solid all around design.
Your personal message about Ultima Thule? You're NOT alone and never will be. So many (myself HEAVILY included) are always struggling with anxiety or depression, and while Ultima Thule made it all the worse for me personally (I can barely stand being in the zone if I'm not on a mount to override the music) the ending is at least a way to say things will get better somehow if we persevere through our own personal trials. We shall be Eternally grateful to you for sharing these experiences with us watchers and fellow players
You've done an amazing job with these clips! and honestly, missing the bit at the end with Zenos is sad but its not like the instance itself is interesting unless panic was involved. if you ever decide to NG+ it and throw it in a bonus vid that'd be the way to do it. re-enacting with the puppets was nice though. people who get angry about creators not putting out enough content dont realize how much work it is, and also dont appreciate what they have to begin with. take care of yourself first, I at the very least will be happy to wait for whatever content you produce. Edit: also everyone watching the videos should already be familiar with the story and whats happening. we are here for you and your reactions, and whatever you deem acceptable to share is enough. love the content you make, the people you choose to be around, and the experiences you share with your videos.
I can relate SO MUCH to the last zone hitting you in the anxiety. I actually physically couldn't, and likely never will, complete the final zone. I'm planning to buy an EW story skip when it comes out. I myself have *extremely* severe anxiety disorder, severe enough it not only qualified me for disability, but mixed with autistic spectrum disorder, I also ended up needing assisting living. (Not that that's a bad thing, I have lots of time for fun stuff like FFXIV. ;) ) Endwalker ended up hitting me in places I've struggled with since I was a kid, and even worse, I've been between anxiety meds, so it was bad timing to boot. I ended up watching the rest of the story on YT but right after I 'broke' in Ultima Thule I actually deleted FFXIV temporarily. Don't get me wrong, I think Endwalker is *amazing,* and the second trial was incredible. The very fact its triggering such strong emotions speaks to the strength of the writing and design. It was just a bit too much for me to handle at the end.
I wish I knew what some of the music was titled that gets used in the cutscenes. I've been wanting to look it up to hear it directly and don't have a name to put to it..
For some reason endwalker just works on multiple watches. It never gets old seeing people react to it. I guess thats what part 4 gonna be about more indepth feeling maybe. With the hermes bit- I think a lot of people felt that way. Because from my understand Hermes we met in the first was basically gone. All that was left was Phandaniel, and the allgan dude. Even at the end when you given the choice to offer an olive branch. Its not to Hermes it to what left of these other people.
yeah i think its implied that Hermes was effectively lost to the tides of time. We never summoned him back, we *couldnt* given that Shitbag dragged his soul with him to Hyper-Mega Hell (or...i guess HIFL, really. Ass-is-he IS an Infinite Loser after all, couldnt even DIE right.) so even after we spoke with Fandamon, he only vaguely remembered *losing Meteon* not *the truth*, at that point. So he never regained his memory of what *really* happened in Elpis, the way Hythlo and Emet ended up being able to. So Fandamon remembered his little Birb-daughter but didnt remember the full extent of what happened to her, even as he started gaining flashes of his time in Elpis, as Hermes, during his recycled lives. If he'd been able to fully remember, he probably would not have been up Xande's ass, anywhere near as heavily, likely trying his best as "One of Humanity" to prepare for the Song and its effects, likely laying the groundwork, at least in patches, for Dynamis research.
At the beginning of Endwalker, I didn't trust Hydaelyn. I even said as much to her, on the ship to Sharlayan. Everything we had learned in the First said that she had been lying to us. It never occurred to me that there was a greater purpose behind her omission of the truth regarding her origins. All I knew- or thought I knew-was that Hydaelyn was a Primal, one of the first to ever exist. And knowing what we as the wol were good at, I knew at some point in time, we were likely to slay her. And then we go to Elpis, and meet the Woman who would become Hydaelyn. Venat, a person of boundless joy, compassion and love for all life in all its shapes and forms. As we journeyed through Elpis together, searching for the truth behind the final days, my assumptions about Hydaelyn began to change. Surely there was no way that someone so full of love could be evil, right? Watching the cutscene after leaving Elpis, seeing her sundering both the star and herself, enduring the agony of the rejoinings, she must've borne unimaginable anguish and guilt, knowing that she was consigning trillions of innocent people to suffer and die. But she did anyway. So that life could go on, safe in the knowledge that some time off in the distant future, you would find a way to avert the final days, that you would make certain that this monumental sacrifice would not be in vain, and that you would find her and give her your answer. Yes, Venat. It has all been worthwhile. And it always will be. Side note, Yes! The return of Wott puppet theatre! XD, also I feel your pain Marcus. Poor Dark knight :(
yeah i totally told Hydaelyn i didnt have any reason to trust her now that i knew she was a Primal. and i LOVE that she goes "ahh, so you learned then. Fair enough, i accept your mistrust." and she did it with *grace*. Honestly, if we'd never learned that the "blessing of light" is nothing more than a Traveler Protection Charm, that mistrust would have been right to continue. Still would have liked to have a Q&A session with her though, like "if i hadnt answered your call way back when, would you have accepted someone else in my place?" Honestly, i wish we'd been given some time just to do another genre of game's style of being able to ask her a few key, very important, overarching plot-related questions. She was the first Primal we were able to have an open Dialogue with this-side of Ramuh! Missed opportunity, methinks.
Feelswalker hit hard at certain parts. But sadly for me the Final zone did not have the impact it was meant to, Thancred died off screen which means he wasnt did. And when they took others from us i was like Either we are restting the Universe or well we are Azem time to bring some True creation power back. I got Lucky i did the Zenos fight as RPR, you know the Imperial Assassins, he had it coming but watching him pull FFXI DRK moves from his scythe made me sad.
RIGHT?! I never really ran too much of DRK back in XI but i was SO MAD when i found out DRK in 14 was only GS and missing literally half its XI kit. When Reaper came out i was all over it like "FINALLY! The other half of the DRK kit!"
@@Xenmaru00 same I was a drk main in ffxi and finally getting my scythe back made me so happy. The drk questline does have a fight where you do fight a older drk that does use ffxi drk moveset
21:50 This is the FIRST time I see both that third option as well as the extra part of the dialogue beforehand. What do you have to do to get that ingame? Because that option sure as hell wasn't in my playthrough. :O
Ultima Thule would probably have hit me similarly if not for one fact: Urianger mentions at one point early on that Thancred's soul is still lingering and may yet be recovered... and that just ruined the whole experience. Because it made it painfully obvious how the story was going to go, which made all the events leading up to the ending feel very hollow to me. My own depression worsening didn't help. The game kept poking me and asking, "Are you sad yet? Are you sad yet?" when the answer was no, I feel nothing. At all. Wasn't even angry at the emotional manipulation, I was just disinterested at that point. At least I finally got to kill the god of half-truths and convenient plot absence, so they gave me something I wanted... The last leg of The Dead Ends still makes me furious, though. 'Oh no, life is too perfect, it causes ennui.' I'd have wiped out that civilization myself for that bullshit. I still have difficulty running the dungeon because that sentiment makes me so angry that I get physically ill. Pain does not build character, sadness does not give life meaning; we should always strive to make a world without suffering.
@@KianaWolf i wish I COULD! I tome grind each week exclusively in Dead Ends with my Sage and I still don't have Her! Only 3 birds have dropped since day one for me.....T.T
@@craigfunk3453 dont give up! i ground only one or two runs per play-session (would reset the lv.90 slot on Khloe's book so if i didnt get anything out of the run i'd still get SOMETHING from it) and it took about a month of daily running it before she dropped. She really wanted to come home that day cause the first time i saw her drop she was MINE! i didnt even roll high for it! She'll come home eventually! at least you got to see her appear even if she didnt come home to you! i thought she was a myth for so long!
I’m only 2min into the video and Ryn is upsetting me with the “never made any good looking gunblades” comment. Has he not seen the Edenmorn Gunblade? That thing is a fucking beauty Edit: I can’t blame you for the mishaps. I took an entire week vacation off work for launch and to do my own recordings, and ended up spending 90% of it bed ridden sick. Decided not to record any of it because no one wants to watch a video of me hacking up my god damn lungs
Ryn: “There have never been any good gunblades in FFXIV” He must be new. GNB has only been around for less than 3 years lmao… over here acting like new jobs start off with a large weapon selection.
I hope Zenos is capital D dead after that fight, I had gotten absolutely sick of him by that point, bring in a new villain, Mr. Battle Boner has run his course. I was similar in Ultima Thule, the Ea and Omicrons had elements to their back stories that hit me way too close to home. I am avoiding New Game+ for Endwalker, just so I don't have to go through a certain scene in Garlemald and the entirety of Ultima Thule again.
The thing that I will carry with me forever is this game, and this expansion. Yoshida cared and trusted us enough to tell us the truth: life will be suffering, there will be pain, and we cannot escape our fate. But we do not need to collapse into ourselves and give up. Hope is our strength, and it won't always be enough...but it *will* keep us strong.
To forge ahead.
Man, the editing on Hydalaen was *chef's kiss* great job Karina
I love how you changed the color of your Azem crystal to fit your character! Also that ending was actually perfect, thank you for the laugh!
I know after feelbringers that the joke continues with feelswalker but I lovingly call this expansion traumawalker :)
I'd say both fit this time
Plenty of feels and trauma
Accurate... I watched this and despite having played this over a year ago, whenever I see footage of it, I cry like a baby -.-
SE: "Hey folks, here are some feelings!"
FFXIV Players: "I nearly died due to feels."
I know I'm waiting to see what comes next for FFXIV.
And thank you for sharing your journey through Endwalker with us, Karina.
*Scribble turns off obs*
*Zenos shows up*
"A TEST OF YOUR REFLEXES"
XD such an underrated comment haha
Kel said it perfect to Amon
The edit to THAT part in Thule is brilliant and something my own WoL would of actually said
The edits make this golden, i didn't even realize or notice you had changed some things because of how fitting and seamless it was.
You are one of my favorite content creators and i wish you the best
Took me a while to finally watch this video. The feels come rushing back. Urianger's moment hit me so hard.
Absolutely genius work on the editing
To all the WoTT & friends. Ya'll are amazing, and I love the content. The banter, shenanigans, jokes and everything. It's ok if it comes out a bit slower, take good care of yourselves and your lives. I can only speak for myself, but I'll be here, even if it takes a bit longer, cause it's worth it. Cheers, best of luck and good health to you all.
The ending was cinematic perfection love all of the edits you were able to do thru this video Scribble. Been loving all of your content for the past ever XD
Dont feel bad about the pace you have been putting out content being slow life is always a thing.
To all of WoTT you all are amazing and always love your interactions, banter and chemistry together.
Thank you for the videos. This story was definitely not the most condusive to a reaction style video but what you got was incredibly enjoyable and you're thoughts on the unrecorded content and creative flair were very much appreciated. Thank you.
Pretty accurate rendition of that final battle, your added sound effects though make it a masterpiece.

The more times I hear others talk about how this story hit hard for others the lighter I feel in a way and I hope its the same for others who've dealt with difficult emotions time and time again to know that it's not just a "you" thing.
I'm soo glad i wasnt the only one who was crying after meeting the parents. Also, the Mommy Fight Sequence was REALLY well done.
The ending fight was very much "Wait... YOU CANT DO THAT AGAIN!!!" *shield happens* Party Chat: LET'S GET THIS BITCH AND GO FUCKING HOME!"
All in all, I am so very glad you enjoyed your Walk to the End.
OMG that ending scene though was hilarious.
I've always loved your videos, and I knew this one was a struggle for you so I'm happy that you got it done, if only if helps a tiny smidge that it's out of the way.

Clicked on that video the second I saw the notification and my god I love what you did with hydlean o.o feels like watching a trailer!
Now to keep watching the video >3>; can’t wait to see more of your videos!
Edit: I can understand why you said that about ultima and the scene with the two, that was just.......wowie! And I’ll always watch your videos ^^ no matter the wait, you make them worth the wait ^^ so keep up the good work Karina.

Zenos: A test of your reflexes!
Karina: *Forgets to check recording*
In all seriousness this video was fantastic. Thank you for sharing it.
Your video's end is the single greatest callback to your older stuff I've ever seen, I loved it and the videos you and your crew are a part of!
I love the extra montages you do of the characters. It gives so much more weight and feel to what is going on in the game and in the video.
Also as someone who has battled depression on and off for nearly 20 years I totally get where you are coming from with the last area. After finishing the game I couldn't play on it for a month because it destroyed me. Hopefully 6.1 provides a more upbeat story!
Thanks for the video and wishing you all the best 🙂
how you did the Hydalean fight had me in tears all over again.
On top of what you said about Ultima Thule and my own struggles with Depression and Anxiety, I can relate so hard to that.
It really was a battle of good vs evil.
When you fought the good, you got a super epic trust battle with amazing editing.
When you fought the evil, you got 90k'd and then you forgot to record Zenos.
Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.
By all means, take your time on your 'late' content. We can wait, and will wait, because we are here for YOU. So keep being you. :)
Just finished watching the video-
Thank you so much for sharing your adventure with us, even when you have so much stuff on your plate! Your videos help me more than you will ever know, Liz. The efforts you put into this video make me so happy. Thank you for brightening my day!!! ^^
Absolutely love watching your videos. They're always great, and no missing recordings or delays can ever stop that from being true!
Honestly, I super appreciate how much you Karina-fied your playthrough. It doesn't feel like a playthrough or even a recap, really? It really does feel like I'm witnessing YOUR personal journey, your WoL, and I love it. A lot of videos are "look at my reaction, look at how funny we are, etc" and don't get me wrong - those videos are also great! But there's this... definitely personal tinge to this set of videos that makes it feel... not intimate but like. Real. It feels like a mix CD from a friend. Anyway, even with the things you weren't able to record, I still enjoyed this video a lot and thank you for all the videos and the time you take to do them. ♥

no joke I was crying about Venat for the 54895734895348th time during the montage (which was a beautiful touch) and then I remembered I had a video meeting in 5 minutes and had to pull myself together
Liz, you did good. I want you to just know that we would not all be here watching this if it was not good content. You and your group are honestly enough to bring a smile to my face even after ENDWALKER MADE ME FEEL AGAIN. ok a little salt still remains. but I hope that you guys have a good time with the content to come and dont stress yourself out, have fun with it. Thats when we get the best show to watch is when you all are just having fun with the game we all know and love, and hopefully bring more people into wanting to love it too.
All of your videos have helped me and my family over the last few months. As a caregiver, this funny content is what I need to not break down and cry when things are rough.
I'm always happy to see a new WotT vid. I love the bantering between your friends and your quips during MSQ. (Finally another Urianger fangirl). Really excited for more content but please don't overwork yourself.
This channel and especially these vids have very quickly become "insta-click, insta-like, insta-share-with-my-friends" fodder. Thank you so much for all your work making them, and for putting them on YT for us to enjoy. Honestly very excited to see what else you have in store in the future.
We love your silly videos, whether they come out "on time" or not ^_^ LET US SHOWER YOU IN OUR AFFECTION DAMMIT!
legit cried three times because your edits were so amazing. i gain nothing but joy each time i watch these ;w; i can only hope you don't push yourself too hard, you're a blessing to the world
Ha haaaaaa! the puppet theater is back! excellent finish! bravo! encore! encore!
You know, missed a chance for the Hydalaen sunder for when the light disappears to just wake up in the starting cutscene for the game beside the twins.
“You’re finally awake!”
The puppets! ♥
Thanks so much for all your hard work on this Liz, you did so well with the editing on the Second trial fight! Excited for the next vid what ever it is and take care of yourself too. Your health and well being is important. If things take a bit longer to come out then they take longer to come out, I can wait as long as I need to for you to feel that the video is ready. All the support and positive vibes for you and everyone in WoTT.
Onee-sama, you killed the Lalaloving editing on this.
Thank you for making the scene with mom as beautiful as I saw it in my own eyes. I can't ever get through the scene without crying and this killed me.
I love the cinematic take you did with the Hydaelyn battle as well as I know how you felt with both the Urianger moment, the second to last dungeon, Ultima Thule is a HUGE understanding of a skip and I don't blame you about that last Zenos fight because it came out of nowhere for everyone!
Heck I'm already planning on doing it again on New Game+ to show what my summons and I went through! It was awesome!
Either way this has been a great journey so far and take your time with your vids, have a bit of me time with your favourite drink and a cuddle with Kel if you have to and I'll be waiting patiently for Part 4 and the Pandaemonium stuff.
I'm truly curious on your reactions to Smileton! XD
Fun fact: if you stand in the aoe where Ysayle/Shiva puts her ice block, she'll actually push you away before she places it instead of hurting you. Whoever in the team that made this dungeon thought of that is really mean and I love and hate them at the same time. Feelswalker indeed.
Also fun fact: when doing the second trial with the Trust, Y'Shtola is the only of the NPCs who do every single mechanic right. This is because she can see the aether and correctly interpret every cast. So if you're having trouble, just follow the catgirl. :P
Y'shtola dont need no Echo-Granted Precognitive Powers, she's just THAT good.
Yup that scene with everyone right before the final dungeon still gets me...
As usual with your stuff, 100% worth the wait, fantastic editing jobs and great banter!
Loved the cinematic fight with mommy crystal!
And the fight with Zenos was epic 😂
I'm late commenting, but I just wanted to geek out about that final attack from the boss. The Scions praying was exactly like the scene during the opening on ARR, when we see the Scions pray against Bahamut 🥹
The devs went all out on this game and I love seeing it.
Your videos have honestly helped me through some trying times the last few months. You and all of WoTT have made me smile and laugh when my world has been full of tears. You all keep on being strong and keep on playing this game we know and love so much. Icy AKA Zalera Petra [Mateus] -Edit: Take all the time you need with your videos. I rather them be delayed and you be all right than you wearing yourself thin trying to mass produce videos. I will watch them and share them with my sister no matter what.
Venat broke me. Urianger and Bloewyda crushed me. Hydaelyn mercilessly dance on the remains.
Ultima Thule reminded me of the darkest thoughts and feelings I've ever had. I could barely see the final walk. And then the blooms. Reaching out to Meteion, asking her to come with us.
I don't know how there will ever be anything else in this game that will hit me that hard. I had been prepared, I knew what was coming when The Mothercrystal let me take on a Trial with the Scions. And it still was not nearly enough. Thank you, XIV, and I hate your guts. You really don't hold things back.
Holy shit the editing in this one is *chef kiss* you outdid yourself, Liz!
11:30 --- Right, that compilation... f'ing awesome ^.^
31:12 --- That alternative option isnt that bad XD XD XD
*Get's out of class , Notification of Scribble Liz content*
Aaah yes good quality content to unwind the weekend with
Love what you did on the Hydaleyn fight there. Funny thing is, my own fight with depression seemed to make it easier to get through Ultima Thule and its events. As for the delay, well... anticipation just makes these videos taste all the sweeter. Your videos are some of the few that are instant, automatic views for me. TL;DR: we cool.
"I've always been salty about the lack of good looking gunblades in this game."
Fucking saaaaaaaaaaaaaame. I swear the only decent looking gunblades are the base relic and the deepshadow manatrigger.
Also, the editing on the hydaelyn fight was AMAZING! I don't even want to know how the fuck you got those angles WHILE fighting the boss. Insane.
Abolsutely stella editing (as always) but this one really hits in the feels department :') Honestly I'm always excited to see a new video from you and can't wait for the raid shenanigans that's gonna happen in Pandaemonium!
Thank you, as always, for the amazing video! These never fail to bring a smile to my face!
My fondest memories of the past 7-8 years come from this game. This was a perfect. If it were all to end, and THANK GOD IT DOESN'T, this would have been the way to do it.
"What are my options?"
Please tell me you dr-
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
I am loving the ending, it made me laugh. XD
Don't overwork yourself. Take your time and things will be ok.
Amazing ending to an amazing video. 10/10 reenactment of the final fight
I came here specifically while this video is paused on another TV to argue with Ryn about gunblades because I can, right now, point out four excellent looking gunblades. Scaven has that sweet switchblade action and looks nice and industrial, Blade's Resolve I love (and honestly I'm weak to any glow effect that is closer to hard light than just 'pretty glow'), the Matchlock Greatclub is nice for a 'blunt' feeling weapon which *most* bladed weapons don't have, and Hyperion is a solid all around design.
Your personal message about Ultima Thule? You're NOT alone and never will be. So many (myself HEAVILY included) are always struggling with anxiety or depression, and while Ultima Thule made it all the worse for me personally (I can barely stand being in the zone if I'm not on a mount to override the music) the ending is at least a way to say things will get better somehow if we persevere through our own personal trials. We shall be Eternally grateful to you for sharing these experiences with us watchers and fellow players
Where's the Zenos entrance reaction? That's one of the best bits!!
You could say that ending was a test of your reel flexes.
That ending was amazing! XD
Wait... Kel played on the Feathermoon sever? Shit, that's a big ol' smack of nostalgia I wasn't expecting to be hit by.
You've done an amazing job with these clips! and honestly, missing the bit at the end with Zenos is sad but its not like the instance itself is interesting unless panic was involved. if you ever decide to NG+ it and throw it in a bonus vid that'd be the way to do it. re-enacting with the puppets was nice though.
people who get angry about creators not putting out enough content dont realize how much work it is, and also dont appreciate what they have to begin with. take care of yourself first, I at the very least will be happy to wait for whatever content you produce.
Edit: also everyone watching the videos should already be familiar with the story and whats happening. we are here for you and your reactions, and whatever you deem acceptable to share is enough. love the content you make, the people you choose to be around, and the experiences you share with your videos.
Aw don't worry about it! He's not worth that kind of effort anyway lol
Friking awesome job !
Yay the return of WoTT theatre!
I can relate SO MUCH to the last zone hitting you in the anxiety.
I actually physically couldn't, and likely never will, complete the final zone. I'm planning to buy an EW story skip when it comes out. I myself have *extremely* severe anxiety disorder, severe enough it not only qualified me for disability, but mixed with autistic spectrum disorder, I also ended up needing assisting living. (Not that that's a bad thing, I have lots of time for fun stuff like FFXIV. ;) )
Endwalker ended up hitting me in places I've struggled with since I was a kid, and even worse, I've been between anxiety meds, so it was bad timing to boot. I ended up watching the rest of the story on YT but right after I 'broke' in Ultima Thule I actually deleted FFXIV temporarily.
Don't get me wrong, I think Endwalker is *amazing,* and the second trial was incredible. The very fact its triggering such strong emotions speaks to the strength of the writing and design. It was just a bit too much for me to handle at the end.
Aww... Kel hugs
I wish I knew what some of the music was titled that gets used in the cutscenes. I've been wanting to look it up to hear it directly and don't have a name to put to it..
We need more stick puppet shows.
For some reason endwalker just works on multiple watches. It never gets old seeing people react to it. I guess thats what part 4 gonna be about more indepth feeling maybe.
With the hermes bit- I think a lot of people felt that way. Because from my understand Hermes we met in the first was basically gone. All that was left was Phandaniel, and the allgan dude. Even at the end when you given the choice to offer an olive branch. Its not to Hermes it to what left of these other people.
yeah i think its implied that Hermes was effectively lost to the tides of time. We never summoned him back, we *couldnt* given that Shitbag dragged his soul with him to Hyper-Mega Hell (or...i guess HIFL, really. Ass-is-he IS an Infinite Loser after all, couldnt even DIE right.) so even after we spoke with Fandamon, he only vaguely remembered *losing Meteon* not *the truth*, at that point.
So he never regained his memory of what *really* happened in Elpis, the way Hythlo and Emet ended up being able to. So Fandamon remembered his little Birb-daughter but didnt remember the full extent of what happened to her, even as he started gaining flashes of his time in Elpis, as Hermes, during his recycled lives.
If he'd been able to fully remember, he probably would not have been up Xande's ass, anywhere near as heavily, likely trying his best as "One of Humanity" to prepare for the Song and its effects, likely laying the groundwork, at least in patches, for Dynamis research.
Oh man, when was the last time we saw puppet theater. Like, O7 and O8?
No game has broken me the way this has
A TEST OF YOUR REFLEXES!!!!!!!!
HUZZAH! More WOTT feels.
That delay at the end made me question whether you actually went with Karina V2
Oh snap, is that the astronomically rare use of the in game raid recorder? XD
AAAAAAHHHH I need to play this game!
A test of your reflexes! *squeak*
At the beginning of Endwalker, I didn't trust Hydaelyn.
I even said as much to her, on the ship to Sharlayan. Everything we had learned in the First said that she had been lying to us.
It never occurred to me that there was a greater purpose behind her omission of the truth regarding her origins. All I knew- or thought I knew-was that Hydaelyn was a Primal, one of the first to ever exist.
And knowing what we as the wol were good at, I knew at some point in time, we were likely to slay her.
And then we go to Elpis, and meet the Woman who would become Hydaelyn. Venat, a person of boundless joy, compassion and love for all life in all its shapes and forms. As we journeyed through Elpis together, searching for the truth behind the final days, my assumptions about Hydaelyn began to change.
Surely there was no way that someone so full of love could be evil, right?
Watching the cutscene after leaving Elpis, seeing her sundering both the star and herself, enduring the agony of the rejoinings, she must've borne unimaginable anguish and guilt, knowing that she was consigning trillions of innocent people to suffer and die.
But she did anyway. So that life could go on, safe in the knowledge that some time off in the distant future, you would find a way to avert the final days, that you would make certain that this monumental sacrifice would not be in vain, and that you would find her and give her your answer.
Yes, Venat. It has all been worthwhile. And it always will be.
Side note, Yes! The return of Wott puppet theatre! XD, also I feel your pain Marcus. Poor Dark knight :(
yeah i totally told Hydaelyn i didnt have any reason to trust her now that i knew she was a Primal. and i LOVE that she goes "ahh, so you learned then. Fair enough, i accept your mistrust." and she did it with *grace*. Honestly, if we'd never learned that the "blessing of light" is nothing more than a Traveler Protection Charm, that mistrust would have been right to continue.
Still would have liked to have a Q&A session with her though, like "if i hadnt answered your call way back when, would you have accepted someone else in my place?"
Honestly, i wish we'd been given some time just to do another genre of game's style of being able to ask her a few key, very important, overarching plot-related questions. She was the first Primal we were able to have an open Dialogue with this-side of Ramuh!
Missed opportunity, methinks.
Last time I was this early, it was patch day.
Feelswalker hit hard at certain parts. But sadly for me the Final zone did not have the impact it was meant to, Thancred died off screen which means he wasnt did. And when they took others from us i was like Either we are restting the Universe or well we are Azem time to bring some True creation power back.
I got Lucky i did the Zenos fight as RPR, you know the Imperial Assassins, he had it coming but watching him pull FFXI DRK moves from his scythe made me sad.
RIGHT?! I never really ran too much of DRK back in XI but i was SO MAD when i found out DRK in 14 was only GS and missing literally half its XI kit.
When Reaper came out i was all over it like "FINALLY! The other half of the DRK kit!"
@@Xenmaru00 same I was a drk main in ffxi and finally getting my scythe back made me so happy. The drk questline does have a fight where you do fight a older drk that does use ffxi drk moveset
21:50 This is the FIRST time I see both that third option as well as the extra part of the dialogue beforehand. What do you have to do to get that ingame? Because that option sure as hell wasn't in my playthrough. :O
I'm 99% sure it's an edited in personal touch, like her changing the color of Azem's crystal to match her character and the edited voicelines ^^
@@dragonspirit996 that would make sense. In that case that's a damn impressive edit because it got me good xD
Woo! New video to enjoy!
Well there's always New Game + to get that fight scene. 8D
More Karina and friends let’s goooooooo!
why is karina's crystal of azem look pink?
Man I wish I cared about Ultima Thule in the way that a lot of people seem to. Ah well, nice editing at least.
Ultima Thule would probably have hit me similarly if not for one fact: Urianger mentions at one point early on that Thancred's soul is still lingering and may yet be recovered... and that just ruined the whole experience. Because it made it painfully obvious how the story was going to go, which made all the events leading up to the ending feel very hollow to me. My own depression worsening didn't help.
The game kept poking me and asking, "Are you sad yet? Are you sad yet?" when the answer was no, I feel nothing. At all. Wasn't even angry at the emotional manipulation, I was just disinterested at that point. At least I finally got to kill the god of half-truths and convenient plot absence, so they gave me something I wanted...
The last leg of The Dead Ends still makes me furious, though. 'Oh no, life is too perfect, it causes ennui.' I'd have wiped out that civilization myself for that bullshit. I still have difficulty running the dungeon because that sentiment makes me so angry that I get physically ill. Pain does not build character, sadness does not give life meaning; we should always strive to make a world without suffering.
I can agree HEAVILY with the Dead Ends topic. But I still suffer through it to finally earn my Starbird (she refuses to come home! T.T)
@@craigfunk3453 /pet the bluebird of happiness.
@@KianaWolf i wish I COULD! I tome grind each week exclusively in Dead Ends with my Sage and I still don't have Her! Only 3 birds have dropped since day one for me.....T.T
@@craigfunk3453 dont give up! i ground only one or two runs per play-session (would reset the lv.90 slot on Khloe's book so if i didnt get anything out of the run i'd still get SOMETHING from it) and it took about a month of daily running it before she dropped. She really wanted to come home that day cause the first time i saw her drop she was MINE! i didnt even roll high for it!
She'll come home eventually! at least you got to see her appear even if she didnt come home to you! i thought she was a myth for so long!
I’m only 2min into the video and Ryn is upsetting me with the “never made any good looking gunblades” comment. Has he not seen the Edenmorn Gunblade? That thing is a fucking beauty
Edit: I can’t blame you for the mishaps. I took an entire week vacation off work for launch and to do my own recordings, and ended up spending 90% of it bed ridden sick. Decided not to record any of it because no one wants to watch a video of me hacking up my god damn lungs
Ryn: “There have never been any good gunblades in FFXIV”
He must be new. GNB has only been around for less than 3 years lmao… over here acting like new jobs start off with a large weapon selection.
I hope Zenos is capital D dead after that fight, I had gotten absolutely sick of him by that point, bring in a new villain, Mr. Battle Boner has run his course.
I was similar in Ultima Thule, the Ea and Omicrons had elements to their back stories that hit me way too close to home. I am avoiding New Game+ for Endwalker, just so I don't have to go through a certain scene in Garlemald and the entirety of Ultima Thule again.
yesyesyesyesyesyes
I wish you went back to the previous style of editing honeslty. You are skipping so much things in those videos.
