A Perfectly Pointless Plot Synopsis of FFXIV Endwalker (Astronomical Spoilers) 

Can't wait for Asmon's reaction for this

How is the editing so tight on a 2 hour video? This is literally a masterpiece

Revenge of the Horde playing everytime Estinien is on screen is hilarious to me

Me: *intimately familiar w/ the story and lore* Finally part 6 of Chair's groundbreaking journalistic series

I really liked the part where everyone dies, you start endwalking, Zenos appears out of no where and you ride him.

I understand most of the synopsis is under a veil or sarcasm and shit posting, but it’s genuinely so heartfelt at the same time. Easily one of your best works yet Chair, thank you for being one of my guiding hands when I started playing this game, and seeing how good you are at making videos.

2:13:51 What I find interesting is they actually kind of gave Zenos a redemption of sorts. Not a redemption that makes him good, far from it, but a redemption from within his own moral framework. He figured out something he was doing wrong, that was obstructing him from finding his own satisfaction, and fixed it. He did better. He didn't become good by anyone else's measure, but he found his own type of redemption in the way that mattered to him. In a certain way, I see Zenos just a little bit like the Lykaon.

"Thancred, how do you intend to escape with balls that big?" "Balls shrink in the cold." Holy shit that sent me.

2 HOURS?!?! Future me is so happy that he’s high and can watch this

Insane. Why did you do the Zenos fight with every single class. Just some really really absurd things throughout this entire video. Fantastically done. Really made me feel the same thing I went through of playing week 1 without that part where I spent two days on a single platform waiting for Chi to spawn.

The papaya joke with the music is criminally underappreciated.

So happy to see how far you came from years ago. You probably don’t remember this, but I asked for your input on wether not I should pick the game back up again in your first Q&A vid. I did shortly after your answer, and have been playing ever since. I got really into raiding and the people I met along the way helped pull my mental health out of the gutter. I have about 4K hours now and don’t regret my time spent on the content and friends. I look forward to see what you do moving forward from xiv, and just wanted to thank you for what you’ve done for the xiv community. I will be watching 8) P.S don’t give up on the TEA clear, you’re so close! I don’t type under the same name but tune in often to cheer you on

Using footage from the Extreme version of the trials was a great idea. This video was fantastic, good work!

Every estinien cut with the heavensward music killed me in the best way possible

Further evidence to the Shadowbringers not having Dynamis in the lore yet. In Amaurot, Terminus Sprinters (the horses) have an attack called Aether Spike. Which given the lore of the Final Days being made of Dynamis doesn't line up. When you see Sprinters again later, the attack is still used, but it's renamed to Hollow Spike, presumably in reference to it basically being an attack made with a hole in aether.

"Balls shrink in the cold" mate I've been cracking up non stop, thank you for making this. I'm sure the rest of it is just golden but I wanna make sure I remember to like comment subscribe and sell my soul to the algorithm because you deserve that 100k subs and so much more

Having me in stitches and then bawling my eyes out (that walk up to Meteion with the overlays of who was saying the lines.... your cruel cruel Chair) is masterful. Thank YOU.

sure this joke has been made many times, but gotta make it again: that was not the way i was expecting to ride zenos, but at this point i'm desperate enough to take what i can get

SHEESH. That run time must've been an undertaking.

Holy... what a marathon. 2 hours 20 minm that's a whole movie man. And I enjoyed every minute of it. Thanks for letting us relive the story again. And thank you Chair for all the FF14 content you made. All the best to you with or without FF14. And may Kaiten rest in peace.

Damn, I didn't expect that you'd actually be able to bust out 2+ hours of consistent good jokes whilst also summarizing Endwalker's story, but here I am at 1AM on a school day, glad that I watched the full thing. Thank you for this video! I am happily surprised.

Aside from this masterpiece of a video you would be an awesome teacher. Granted, like the ones we used to get extremely annoyed by... but we never forget what they said in class for the rest of our life.

I actually got emotional at this video a few times, and it wasn't (just) from riding off the high of having played Endwalker myself. Absolutely fantastic.

The amount of time and effort that went into this is beyond staggering. Some of your finest work by far

Actually insanely good editing. Your previous vids were awesome but this is next level, props chair, great shit man

What a masterpiece. Thank you, truly, for creating and sharing it.

Stunningly amazing video with fantastic editing. Seriously great job with this one, I can't express it enough

Zenos ranting about reclears hit way too close to home for me. What a wonderful video this is.

Thank you for the jumpscare warning. As someone who is easily startled by those things, a warning to steel myself is very much apreciated. This video is great, still watching it but I wanted to thank you for that in particular since people just throw those in without realising how the audience might react to such things

The editing on this went insane, amazing work mr sideways seat. i've been a fan for a while now and i always thought it was cool when i ran into you while running baldesian arsenal. Keep doing what makes you happiest and your fans will be there.♥

I remember getting through the Garlemald and the other area and feeling like "I'm almost done." Endwalker was pretty darn great and I'm glad I boosted a char to see it while I slowly work through the rest of the game with my "main". Thanks for the vid Mr. Chair. Keep being you, never get shapen. This video was top notch, both editing and misshapen-wise, and I can only imagine how much time it took to edit.

at least some content creator got Dynamis right.., so many lore guys(not the important ones, or those from multiple mmos) treat everything as set in stone, and treat all opposition as headcannon. when it's clear what they did. but that isn't the tale or purpose in general. but no matter what, it's great that you have found your stride about many fold more times than Alphinaud will tell Alisae that she needs to find her reason to fight/found her reason to.., in either case, I must go and suffer, for I didn't know til this video that Nekopara had a planned end soon.., the Despair.., I'll just have to imagine some ART of papi and meteion, with a hint of life juice cause one needs to clean from the loss.

I legit appreciate the run-throughs of the other Scions' late-night visits.

I got an ad for Picard with him saying "to save the future we must go to the past" right as you're in the 1st and talking to Elidibuddy. The timing amused me.

The MSQ just doesn't hit right without the F. This brought me the same joy as going through the story the first time. Truly the ultimate FFXIV content creator.

Great video. Great retelling. Some very fine video editing. If I had realised that part earlier, I wouldn't have doomed you to second screen

I love the idea that you can tell how close Estinien is by how loud Revenge of the Horde is blaring

over 2 hours of heavily edited footage? this is unhinged, I love it

Chair for the Shadowbringers video's "Now let's get out there, and remind me to NEVER MAKE A VIDEO THIS LONG AGAIN."

I'm not even a fourth of the way there and the amount of edits is dizzying, amazing.

Unless you like choking to death, do not eat while watching this. I learned the hard way

Finally got to the end. Thank you so much for this, it's a masterpiece, possibly one of the best youtube videos I've ever seen. Super enjoyable throughout. Cheers, and have fun with everything you do before you come back to FFXIV :D

Man, this video is still SO good. I am playing through the post endwalker patches and needed a refresher and this vid is incredible. Thank you for these amazingly funny edits. I am looking forward to your dawntrail content!

Love this so much man, I can't imagine the ungodly hours you must've put into this behemoth of a vid so thank you. Honestly, even through all the memeing I got some real feels reminiscing the story, endwalker may not be my ultimate favourite expansion (shb takes that cake though it's close), but to me it has the greatest scenes in the entire game. Actually, some of the greatest scenes/payoffs in any media I've seen, that Venat walk will never not make me want to cry. And the musics...

Yeah yeah yeah! Those videos are great for remembering what actually happened in the haze that is the MSQ

I think part of what makes the xiv story so good to many people, is that it's a very human story.

I genuinely like the use of the minstrel ballads fights rather than the MSQ ones to make the storyline fights seem more "explosive". The editing was really good on them. Another banger summary video of the MSQ. Thanks MC.

this was a fantastic video. i've only recently gotten into ffxiv in the past year (i just beat the endwalker main msq a couple of weeks ago), but the way you edited and narrated the video felt like i was on a fresh journey all over again. love your work!

That end bit with Zenos was fucking gold.

I do not know why the algorithm left this on my timeline almost a year late, but I laughed a lot so you get a new subscriber. Yay! I will watch more of your videos and await your next project.

You are so great at this. Loved the video and wanted to comment for algorithmic influence. Awesome job!

Had to come back and watch this masterpiece again. Lovely

Answers, every time it plays, gives me chills and makes me cry. All I can think of is all the people who lost their lives fighting with all they had to fix things.

Amazing video Chair! Loved every moment and bringing me back to the amazing journey that is ff14. I’m excited to see what you come up with in the future that you are happy with. Best of wishes chair and until next time!

Every single time Estinien pops with Revenge of the Horde I can't bro its too good HAHAHAHA

"You have the weight of the world on your shoulders" >Default :3 catgirl face 10/10 storytelling

every other xiv villian - i have a reason for what im doing! zenos - fuck it we ball!

Holy shit this is so amazing. I had to wait till today so I could set aside the time to watch it in one go and god damn, fantastic.

2:03:33 So epic that even Dragonsong Reprise comes through

You know the story is good that even in shitpost form it makes you cry.

Still one of my favorite videos of all time

sick video man. It was great! Also yes your Hades video was also sick

13:40 (Singing) "Who's been messing up everything? It was Allagans all along..."

6.3 brought back formerly deleted actions for PLD and Machinist, maybe one day you'll Kaiten again

Thank you for telling me I matter, King

The running gag of the Heavensward theme BLARING whenever Estinien speaks STILL GETS ME on every rewatch

Awesome. Just awesome. Thank you for the feature length recap and specially for showing me the quotes in ultima Thule. Couldn’t remember who said for the life of me. And Thank You for the great content.

I've waited so long for this

Almost made me tear up. But god damn was this good. And good to see you again. Also holy fuck your editing -w-

Good stuff dude, good reminder of why I loved endwalker and why I like your vids

I love when heavensward song hit when Estinien is on screen 🤣🤣

Your harshest critic butting in to note: You didn't add an "I am the senate" meme with Meteion leaving Elpis to go kill everyone Edit: In case the practical implications were lost on anyone, yes Hermes and Anakin both really need therapy

I finally got around to watch this. And I'm glad I did. Can really feel the love for the game, despite the speech at the end.

Elidibus in the first hurt me so much with the raid series. Hes so just... perfect and sweet and it hurt me.

thank you for this video!!!!! it was fantastic

I love that you make these because I dont have time to play. These keep me involved one way or another.

all those times i saw your name in game without realizing or knowing you make amazing videos... by the twelve..

greatest video yet man

25:40 When Estinien opens the door and you hear "DYYYYYS-" 😂😂😂😂

I've been pretty decent at noticing stuff they do with design to help them and their servers but for some reason I never realised the fact that you're split to two locations is to split the initial load of people, but now that you mentioned it's so obvious and clever

The video has flashing lights? As an FF14 player I need the screen 1/4 epilepsy at all times so that's good.

Incredibly based for your Xenoblade Reference, with the most badass line.

Dozed off listening to this, woke up to Metal Gear Thancred saying "Balls shrink in the cold" LOOOOOLL

I miss our friend with battle benefits

that perfect speed is the RP walk + sprint speed boost btw. its literally exactly that

1:26:16 Technically they only agreed to us speaking to Hydaelyn and then for the Forum to hear our idea for an alternate use of the Ark. Fourchenault even asks if they can decline the idea after hearing it. To which Alphi says yes, saying if they can't convince the 99 Forum members that it's a good idea then they can't make the rest of the world rely on it either. Basically they just agreed to the talk, and then more talking if they fix the problem, and since that's all what the Forum does basically, they agreed.

43:15 thats not even the first reference to godhand in this video (the other being "Lyse the goddess hand") and it still caught me off guard

"Long lost friend with battle benefits" made me lose it

The choice of "Devil May Sly" for the Zenos fight was masterful. A+ no notes

I've been watching your SSS-Rank quality sh tposts since a "Good enough guide to Gunbreaker." THIS. IS. F CKING. AWESOME. FFS PLEASE DO NOT STOP DOING THIS. I WILL BE LEGITAMITELY DISSAPPOINTED IF THESE MASTERPIECES STOP HAPPENING.

oh... my... god... this is a masterpiece! I just finished and I'm already ready to watch it again tomorrow. Absolutely 10000000/10!!!! THANK YOU!

The Boys 3 week bender was one of the most crucial events in FFXIVs history

After getting pwned by Y'shtola for all the best dialogue options, it was great to see it happen to someone else for a change (seriously though, one of my top moments/speeches in the entire expansion).

Made me cry when 6ou voiced the last lines of emet.

By The Twelve! This video is a god damn masterpiece!

Damn I really forgot I could cry over a character dying. Thank you mr chair 1:37:52

29:20 Unbelievably based thank you

So entertaining I bet your other stuff is just as fun

I love this video! Thnx!

I too have that spy kids line stuck in my memories
