Ex Azure Infinitum Members Reveal the Truth | Xeno Reacts to FFXIV Drama 

bro imagine finding a kid crying "whats wrong?" "My video game friends won't talk to me anymore... for treason."

I thought Xemo was a cute strummer... then I heard he was an early puller, now I can't look at him the same again ;(

The way this man milked 2.5 hours of content out of a 9 minute video is based. Legend behavior.

Poaching the guild leader himself is amazing. Outstanding work.

Love Xeno, but early pullers at Hunts are menaces and I can not condone m'lord.

Reika is exactly what one would call "Chonically online" and should really go outside and touch grass.

Lmfao, I found my name on the ban list thank you Xeno! I shall wear my level 4 perma ban status with pride. 🤣

that story about the dude that hated you poaching and then got poached when you offered a spot is absolutely legendary

FFXIV FC Drama is always the wildest stuff. xD My wife got kicked from an FC she was an Officer and Founder in because she kept calling out the FC Leader's best friend for being a huge homophobe towards lesbians. The guy would literally talk shit in Officer chat about any lesbians in the FC literally any time he saw them, and my wife started dropping screenshots of the Officer Chat in the Discord so everyone could see what a piece of shit the guy was. The next day, we woke up and she had been removed from the FC, banned from the FC website, and kicked from the Discord all overnight without anyone consulting her, and the leader had posted a message in the Discord saying that it was a 'mutually agreed separation'. For some reason, they didn't think to kick me too while they were at it, so I just dropped that it absolutely wasn't a mutually agreed separation in the chat, told the leader to fuck off and left myself. I've never seen drama anywhere near that level on any other MMO I've played. xD For some reason FCs really do seem to bring out the absolute worst in people.

“We are not an RP FC…”

If they sent me a Cease & Desist letter like that i would have sent back a letter of me laughing at them in Comic-Sans letting them know how serious i think of them lol

There are still those menaces in Eureka pulling everything on sight rather than waiting for people to get to the point

Lisa Kuma from the ban list - Severity 4 I made it mom!!

i think the fact that this person called some people leaving their FC "the sundering" is so fucking hilarious.. like its not that serious man lmao

I am glad I play this game solo in my empty FC, some people are crazy 😂 I like to stand back with my popcorn 🍿 and laugh though 😂

This is crazy currently on break from FFXIV and i'm in this FC, I'm usually low profile so I don't see many drama but seeing this is very eye opening

As someone who was there for "The Sundering™", it's quite surreal to watch a video about it on RU-vid. My sister-in-law and her Significant Other were friends with the Council and part of the Scouts. After everything Reika pulled, they left FFXIV and refuse to come back. Azure was my first FC on Midgardsormr, after I had transferred from Gilgamesh due to FC drama there as well. Reika is a Diva who lives off of power. Nothing they say can be trusted.

As much as I respect and love u for the stuff u do and say, the early pulling hunt stuff is a hot take xD

I really do miss Merrel. He was a friend of ours back in Azure before we all left. When we did the 24 mans together, the party with him was called the "Blue Barracudas" which is a reference to Legends of the Hidden Temple. I always called it Blueberry Cooties because I knew it bothered him. He also kept a high quality wahoo in his inventory, so he could link it in chat 'Wahoo' anytime something big happened. And lets not forget that time we caught him wearing the shisui tank armor. We all teasted him for it and he got really embarrassed. Fuck, I miss Merrel.

It would be funny, if the Azure Infinitum's guild leader gets banned.

6:14 Okay, now that we're here, story time! So... this fella tried to make a claim that they were part of an FC Leaders Discord and that they are an admin. So, allow me to tear this apart, because this person was only right about an existence of a FC Leaders Discord. Here's where it gets funny. They are NOT part of that Discord, and never will be now that things hit fever pitch. However, Turks FC, the one being targeted by Azure during December, is. So, I catch wind of this by thanks to Turks FC leader posting an announcement in the chat, explaining what had happened a bit. Myself and one other FC Leader did choose to look into logs regarding that event on December 10 (when the incident at the lawn of Turks FC happened). And then I see this announcement at 6:14 here a bit before I finish with catching up on the log. I had this most annoyed/pissed off look on my face and had to, in the most blunt and polite way I could, to say that them being part of that Discord was them being full of shit. And if they really were part of this Discord, my co-captain, myself, and the other FC leads would have gotten DMs from Reika about this. There's a story as to why Azure already had a red flag or two with my FC, but that is a story for another time. TL;DR: If Reika had not mentioned about the FC Leaders Discord, let alone lie about being part of it, they would have not have 3 FC Leaders all adding them to their shitlist for lying, let alone what all they did during this incident.

Imagine how Reika will feel like when they learn that outside their house exists. Also, you can actually watch Azure's content like their assemblies, podcasts, and whatever tf by googling them.

Crusader here LOL i'm Lotus / plus all of my name changes LOOOL im cryinggg i'm a 5 ???? for what dude. i literally left the toxic FC and made my own with my best friend. geeeze

I tried stopping by the fc just to see how they're taking this video. The fc is locked (as expected) and several members are posted up outside standing guard in front of the doors and lining up on its walls. Cult behavior.

Is it bad i want to see Reika come at Xeno just so he can get more content? Lol.

No joke, I kind of want someone to threaten me with a restraining order and a civil lawsuit over a video game guild just so I can see them try desperately to get this taken seriously in court. And also so I could laugh at them for having to pay the filing fees.

Was in that fc briefly, Some nice people in there, left because I didn't fit there properly. They would be super serious about fc meetings. Also there was one guy who would mouthbreath and burp in the vc constantly that was gross a f.

hey my name is on the banlist. surprised it's only sev1 since i was part of the "Lunar Rebellion" thing

Rabbit hole too deep, part 2 is finally here

Once i joined an FC that at the time, i was not aware was one of those extremely carebear FCs, I got kicked for calling someone out for taking a picture of the screen(blurry too) instead of a screenshot, and yes, they were playing on PC

Absolutely bizarre to see wtf happened to this fc. I was a member back when I first started playing on the damn PS3. Eventually left and didn't hear anything about it till now 😂

I love how they say they aren't an RP FC but the leader is ALWAYS rping. Lol

The part about banned people not being allowed to hang out in front of the fc house... like... what kind of mindset are you in to think you can tell people where and where not to take their character? lmao

"I would love to raid with you!" "ok, I'll come" idk what it was about this, but I had a good laugh at this interaction lol.

Without a doubt, this is the sanest cat girl player.

"CAUSR I'M A F***ING WARRIOR!!" lmao

It is incredible that xeno was able to turn a 4 minute video into 80+ minutes of content. Unrivaled content king .

Great drama video Xenosys Vex thank you

I like how Reika cant pronounce his own name. Usually, I find that it is more like Ray-ee-ka, and not Ray-ka.

YO WTF?! The Midgardsormr TURKS was my first FC ever and I knew it had drama, what big FC doesn't? But I had no idea they had dealings with Azure like that. Kinda makes me happy I left lmao. But I kinda feel for my old FC. It seems like my old FC was dealing with more behind the scenes than I thought lmao. The Azure FC leader looks way too unhinged.

I learned this morning that I'm on Azure's ban list..... Because I'm friends with someone who has a higher severity ban than me. I didn't even know I'd been banned in the first place because I could count the number of conversations I've had with Reika on one hand 😂 I'm just a bystander dude!

I've been seeing a lot of people in the comments saying they use to be in this FC. I guess they fetched a lot of new players. Are you all okay now?

I can make my FC members names show in a different color than friends, party, alliance and randos. That's it, that's the FC

For a community that doesn't like spammed RP quotes, they have a whole lore and every little document is 10 million words long, hoooooly

The depth of this fc stuff is like the for gonor communities Clan drama... just insane

lmfao Son Goku, I was waiting for that name to come up. I think that video of him pulling the mark in Thanalan and everyone watching him try to kite it and die is still around on youtube somewhere.

Seeing my Home server being mentioned but for negative reasons is kinda funny to me. Just now I am noticing the fact that I have not seen any or just not that many Azure members after I came back to play Dawntrail. Also feels weird to see the Turks mentioned, as it was my previous fc that I was invited to join.

Xeno and Son Goku the two greatest warrior's the university is has ever seen

Now i wanna be in a fc called full head of hair

I was a part of an FC that split into two. I am in both of their discords, and while I am only an official member in one, I talk to and participate with people in the other, because they're my friends too. But yeah, FC drama is wild in how crazy it gets, despite its inherent pointlessness. Its also wild how I recognize a lot of these fcs because I am on Midgard. I have a couple friends in the Turks and even in Azure for example.

if they sent me that cease and desist id send an actual turd back and be like here you sent me some of your shit im sending you some of mine

I've seen stuff like this before. I once had an FC leader that forbade me from wearing yellow clothing because they had a whole 'king in yellow' type thing going. They'd also get upset if I rped with people outside the FC. People that had been my friends at least a year before I joined their FC. I'm actually disgusted at myself for how long I took the abuse.

Not gonna lie, kinda want to DC travel over there, go to their FC house, and just troll them.

Loved the history lesson with Xeems, was cool watching your old videos from that other game I already forget the name of.

16:11 - missed an opportunity to say "what is this ARR"

I will never understand people who take MMORPGs too seriously, as if it's their real life. Get out of your house, socialize with real people, join a badminton group or something. My god.

This MF said Son Goku. He still running hunts todayy.

I don’t know what to think after learning Xeno is an early puller of hunts… I’ve always called them the scum of Eorzea :(

Sargs early pullers, i remember .. i think it was Kiara or something like that.. Darn that is like a lifetime ago loll

Pulling on Hunts is a massive L Trains don’t even take long either and especially if it’s on Aether. It takes like what 5 min at most to just wait for everyone to grab? Especially when achievement needs over 2000😅

5:00 Well about the only 2 things I can think of is FC buffs and having another chat channel that works inside instances

Midgardsormr is my server this shit doesn't surprise me. Our novice network is a clique.

generally speaking, fcs are required for the introverts and people with social anxiety. lot of people won't join discord communities b/c they can be massive, scary and intimidating places with member counts in the thousands. Once they join usually the server goes "HEY THIS PERSON JOINED SAY HI" and then everyone and their mother says hi and immediately scares them off. it is much easier to ease them in through a fc especially since only the people online at the time see the "this person joined the fc" message and it's usually a couple his as opposed to the aforementioned server letting everyone know their here.

There's a lot of diplomatic, command, and security related stuff in there that is better suited for PvP oriented environments like PvP servers in WoW, and outfits in Planetside. However, the sociopathic nature of Reika would be even less tolerated in that type of environment.

"Percieved bonds" is what you're missing from the what do FC's have to offer. I think it comes from the old fashioned romanticized notion of guilds.

13:11 They go to such lengths for making that on a game. All that time and effort to little to nothing in my opinion. I don’t even think the Courts would take seriously of this absurdity

Someone should've reported them to the bar for UPL that shit would've mad funny

lmao this video popped up on my feed and i used to be in Azure. they were nice enough albeit a little weird but since i wasn't in the inner circle i guess i didn't experience any of this psycho behavior. took an extended break and was booted, didn't think anything of it. recently signed back up for dawntrail and just joined a random FC that had enough members to ensure i would get my buffs and it turns out it's the turks lmfao

Wait can I get that glam at the 11 minute mark it looks like a machinist one that look badass

this is so entertaining, i love in-between content ffxiv lmao

It's crazy to me that drama of this magnitude exists in video games. Like...video games are meant to be fun lol.

if the """"legal documents"""" weren't a thing i would 100% believe this was happening on roblox, not ff14

Some people really need to get their internet access revoked.

People have some weird aspects of whats important to people in this game.

I raided with a group of people on a different server after making friends with them in a random pug how ever after time some of their new fc members wanted to raid so i was going to get pushed out because at the time i wasn't a member of their free company. I think free companies matter for that reason because a number of people view them as a club with club expectations. I ended up deciding to move to their sever because i liked them and ended up getting to stay in the group where as the other person who pugged with me at the same time ended up losing their spot and it caused friction between me and them. I continued to raid with them till more or less the raid group dissolved mid endwalker.

Everything Reika writes reads like me when I was 12-13 years old.

I was actually considering RP before i clicked on this video........... WELP BACK TO DSR

People like this are why ff14 gets tough to navigate. I refuse to be in rp fc's because people get wierd with it.

With all the modern day conveniences like social media, discord and whatever else people use, FCs/Guilds don't really matter like they used to back in the day. You really dont even need a website or anything like that like you might've back in the old days of MMOs.

I just made an alt on midgardsormr. So i should apply to join the turks fc right?

I can't believe Xeno got trick into reading a fanfic. Ain't no way these are real people.

Honorable mention for early pullers Blah Blah out there on primal

Won't lie, finding out he was a hunt premie-puller made me lose a smidge of respect for the man. But only a smidge.

Part 2! Lets goooo!

I feel like a reason that Vex keeps saying that FCs are only for buffs and such is mainly because he probably doesn't see FCs as a way for some people to escape the real world, or as a way to actually meet new people Some people raid, some people join guilds, everyone has their own methods to making friends and meeting people, it's not weird THAT BEING SAID, this is a level of guildship that is both good AND bad: - The good is that it's thorough, it has layers and levels, it has a way to be a part of something, and it feels like it's something solid and large and important - The bad is that it is INCREDIBLY controlling just like the video states: it's on the level of cult fanaticism, and the leader themselves is someone that is just overbearing and an absolute control-freak with seemingly no idea of what level of reality they are on Aether is known as a pretty hardcore datacenter, with Faerie (my own world in Aether) being among the "sweatiest" (the most try-hard), so a guild like this, that encourages roleplaying, something more lax, and companionship/comraderie can be enticing that are lonely, naive, or are new to MMOs in general. I joined Faerie not knowing that I joined a world full of people that go WAY harder than I ever could, so I'll admit; if I saw an invite from Blue Infinitum a few years ago, I would be a part of this cult bullshit myself DX

people not wanting to play with people outside of their fc will always be mindboggling to me

The smart thing to do to poachers is just skip the one they pulled and go to the next one before they can. Imagine admitting you are on their ban list - it means you wanted to be in this FC LOL.

There's not enough popcorn to munch on while I read everything LOL

getting big Final Fantasy House vibes from this whole thing

Whoever the Crusader in chat is should get VIP for life.

Im so glad im not a GM for Mdgard... I would totally abuse that power and just disband that FC and any FC involved with them and tell them keep it in discord.

All right lets shit on Xeems for being an early puller 😂 but then again its a ton of fun doing it... in Eureka anyways. Im not that much of a jerk for hunts though

Tombstone Piledriver might be a bit cringe, but the RKO is a class of its own

Everyone come stand gaurd at their FC 4 funsies

Warrior mains the Karens of FFXIV xdd

Warrior mains represent !!!

They should’ve kept this as rp xffing

In regards to the hunt train thing, a lot of people have only played FFXIV. The psycho FC lead made good points. The Hunt train people are also power hungry addicts. If a group of people want to go pull A Ranks on their time because a conductor isnt doing a train, its not toxic to do so. Its toxic to expect every person to conform their time of doing content to others. Just because it works for the majority doesnt mean you should have to swap your times around for that. If you have raid at 4pm, train also starts at 4pm, and 6 marks are up at 3pm why cant they get an 8 stack to kill the 6 marks? Because others would want to do it? Im sorry but its just as selfish for others to expect people to conform to their times as it is for the other way around. In WoW, you just pulled when it spawned, and if you werent too bad. And it works out great.

Will never understand what ppl gain from early pulling s ranks. Consideration for others vs egoistic entitlement smh

I watched both of these reaction videos and now I'm being spammed by the FCs RU-vid channel in my recommended...did not know it existed...
