The Five stages of fixing something: 1) Fixing your idiot mistake 2) Applying logic 3) Smack it on the side 4) Whack the everloving shit of it 5) Pray the damn thing works
It really does its like things will happen he didn't plan and he just works through them and acts like he had it all under control but behind the scenes hes just asking "Why, Zodiark? What have I done to deserve this?"
fun fact: the revolver Emet-Selch uses in that cutscene is the Machinist arm you can get from Great Gubal Library normal mode and is called the Pre-Imperial Garlean Revolver.
@@wedgeserif556 I love how even Minfilia dropped that Thancred was being like a father to her all that time while everyone was led to be under the impression that he's just simping because he's a playboy in general. XD
@@haydenbennett3547 No. Minfilia was also a surrogate daughter to him. His love was never romantic. He mentions this when questioned by Krile in Heavensward.
I love how the music fades away when g'raha is not in focus/is shot, meaning he is in-universe blasting tomorrow and tomorrow from his body while giving the speech
Emet Selch. Genius. Conqueror. Emperor. Architect of many other similarly-inclined nations. Ascian. One of the most powerful members of the Convocation of Thirteen. Sorcerer of Eld. Still misses the fact that when slapping the cylinder back in, he rotated it one bullet over.
I Imagine it'd be a deal breaker for many but i'd have loved it if they played a few skit scenes after the credits of each expansion, or hidden away in some kind of side quest. Definitely would've helped during Feelsbringers Just imagining in HW having various dragon mishaps like having trouble speaking eorzean, Haurchefant slips going to block the light spear and his shield breaks as it was meant to in the scene when it taps the floor, during the scene at Azyz La Shiva's line breaks and she falls half a foot, revealing the entire scene to be green screened and it zooming out to show the garlean battleship to just be a tiny model they were doing perspective tricks with.
@@user-eq5qh2mh3iHard agree, the guy CLEARLY has been effected by literal eons of time passing. Holds himself together pretty well in front of everyone but of COURSE he’s gotta have those off screen outbursts.
@@Starlitsoul0359 Off-screen: *Cup thrown across the room, out the door, and hits the trailer next door* I TOLD YOU ICE COFFEE! DO I HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING MYSELF!? USELESS! USELESS!
One of my favourite things about Emet throughout shadowbringers wasn't just his charm and character but that he watched Lahabrea confront us *twice* and fall, Nabriales confront us and fall, Igeyorhm confront us and fall. So when he finally confronts us he doesn't just do so with reasoning and a desire to observe us and learn from us....he does so while packing a 38 inch, high calibre revolver under his coat. He could easily just snap his fingers and blast a mass of energy or something but nope, he wasn't taking chances, he brought a gun. No bullshit, no trickery...just a gun.
@@rachelkelley5930 even loving it never protect for the "how did this happened?" Face, I mean, I'm pretty sure Azem and Hythlodaeus will always find a way to surprise him
Poor Emet was probably popping Ascian forms of Excedrin for all the migraines he got from Azem and Hythlodaeus' shenanigans. And secretly, I think Elidibus enjoyed watching it happenas much as Venat did.
I usually main machinist, but I capped it during Shadowbringers so I switched to monk and decided that my Deepgold Revolver had been irreparably damaged during a fight. So when this scene played out and Emet-Selch tosses the gun down next to the WoL, I immediately imagined him saying, "Oh, I fixed your gun. No need to thank me."
Just like I played monk, decided I wanted to try healer, fell in love with scholar, all the way until the end. Guess who was screaming like a damn howler monkey when a certain someone lost his book and proceeded to deliver the nastiest three piece to Maybelline.
This only empasises even more what would I found absolutely hilarious about the original scene: By no means does he actually require the use of a firearm, he could literally just point at Graha and it could have the same effect, this is purely Emet being extra, aka him being himself.
I don't know why but Exarch going Spiderman's "My back!" just felt right. I was wondering why, but then it clicked how Tobey's dorkiness in playing Peter Parker could very well match the Exarch's own dorkiness
That smirk after the gun finally fired is Emet laughing at how the Exarch managed to get shot by a broken gun like "holy shit that actually worked lmao - i mean, uh... *only those who possess the royal eye* "
even on first viewing of this cutscene, i broke down in laughter at the idea of emet selch just... shooting him. with a regular gun. this animation makes it even better because it implies he never actually meant to allow the exarch to get as far into his monologue as he did. truthfully, he was just trying to roll up, shoot the guy, do his own little speech, and leave. gold.
Funny part is that Emet is totally in character from start to finish xD Still what made me laugh is when the WoL started pointing at Emet to G'raha hahaha xD
Best part about this is that Emet Selch is one of the most powerful sorcerers who ever lived yet he chooses to use a firearm for the added dramatic effect
As a fellow animator and FFXIV lover, this video and your animations in general are amazing! I can't imagine how long it would take just to make the backgrounds. Excellent work my good sir! You've earned a sub.
I was already in love with your channel, but this one had me actually laughing out loud holy hell. Plus it looks gorgeous too, you did a fantastic job, thanks for sharing it with us :)
