The FFXIV Endwalker Experience | The Beginning 

Or if he carved "Zenos was here." on your arm or something.

@@adriancruz8633 Nobody bring up my tattoo of me and Zenos riding a tandem bicycle together I don't want to talk about it.

Like when you let your 5 year old brother play your game.

Watch out for Zenos. He's a dick!

I was stuck in first person mode, well... stuck is an exaggeration, I had never used it before and didn't know how to get out of it. I didn't peg Zenos as the kind of fool to play in first person I gotta admit.

thought the same thing...

That whole place is still haunts me...

.........Ssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

That part... That part were we go to the places... I wasn't ready for that.

Yup, for me He would be the second one and the actual second would be the last because his death have broken the balance and to restore it you need to kill the last one, that was I theorized and I was sooo wrong, it's a logical point of view (for me) but well, nope

Same, i was dead on thinking Anima is the first trial while Zodiark is second last boss

To begin, you're going to kill the most powerful thing you know of. And then, we shall escalate as is customary.

You really didn't even predict hydaelyn as the second or final one? How?

In my FC the question is great now what do we do? then we found out and well times were had not fun, happy times, just times...

Exact same reaction. I couldn't believe they were blowing Zodiark that early.

I had the opposite reaction. Once I saw what the first trial was I immediately guessed the second and also predicted that the third would be something we couldn't have met before this MSQ once those two were done with.

@@TheSilverwing999 I mean it’s final fantasy. That was obvious.

That was my reaction as well. I now know what comes after and I am not dissapointed in the least.

Yeah, this was absolutely epic in every sense of the word.

At least he treated us to dinner, got us a new suit, mask and was more than 6ft away from us.

@@adriancruz8633 yeah, tbh, he courted us exceptionally well when you put it that way.

@@baronfuath5872 No matter how good the courting is I gave no consent for him to enter my body. I felt so violated, I were creeped out for minutes after it was done, just breathing before I could continue. I really wish I was joking but I kept trying to scrape the feeling off my body with my hands and the feeling didn't leave until I enter the dungeon and had full use of my own skills again.

@@Ariancia.Thystarian Afterwards, when I was talking to my buddies I was like, "Sorry about that. Now If you'll excuse me, I need to take a shower."

@@Ariancia.Thystarian me who used a handful of fantasia. I PAID MONEY FOR THAT BODY! GIVE IT BACK!

he doesn't know yet :D

The funny thing is, I said the same exact thing when I got to that part XD

Isn't that kind of where the term comes from though? Seems appropriate, more than anything.

It is not even a pun despite sounding like this, this is the very origin of that term. Lancers for hire.

I get that its supposed to give an urgent hopeless feel but making it literally un fun and painful is certainly not how you do it. hated every minute and glad I Only had to do it once ever and never again.

@@zeehero7280 Thats the point haha

@@zeehero7280 it was supposed to be fun?

I failed the first time. logged off in annoyance because I had to go grocery shopping, queues be darned. When I got back in and approached it with a clearer mind, I paid more attention to "stick to the shadows" and realized you can easily climb through the buildings and avoid almost all the mobs. Second time I got through it with plenty of time to spare.

@@garothegoldenknight498 If it was it failed spectacularly.

exactly my emotions :)

I think you mean Dungeon 2 and Trial 1 :3

Reverse wtf for Zenos, that's a great thought.

Well also for a Lala suddenly being that tall, a Roe being that short... not to mention the fact that the body is male and therefore a female character might suddenly have something extra down there.

He's gonna be in for a shock after Zodiark.

Oh hi! I'm really happy to see you randomly! I was a huge fan of your remixes, and still am. Every Halloween I listen to your Shoal Cave remix because it fits the vibe for me. I hope you're doing well! 💜

This was done to hammer home that primals are nothing to us now, and we won't be seeing regular primals anymore. We outgrown primals 2 expansions ago.

Yeah nine seconds in and just laughing so hard already.

For real, that's some quality entertainment right there

A happy expansion? Everything was hard and sad... Just the same as my life in college. So larryzaur wasn't wrong when he said that we were going to college.

RIGHT?! They did it so well

Yeah, the sense of emmergency in this quest is really here because, well if you're too slow he will kill everybody but you are so weak at the same moment you can't take on 2 soldiers, when you're used to be against 5 I also loved Thancred Reaction to this, in French (because I am so I play in) he say he can't say you're guilty because he knew how hard it is to have his body taken by the enemy

@@Larryzaur I had actual anxiety from that duty..

it makes no sense though. Becuase our power comes from our soul which we still have. Sure there would be a significant handicap as we certainly arent used to random garlean dude, maybe their biological inability to use magic is interfering somehow?

@@zeehero7280 It also makes no sense because "normal people" are doing a ton of extraordinary things through the expansion at this point. Even pureblood Garlean Lucia was fighting dragons since 2.x

@@agnosticnixie thats a confirmation bias based on your status. Second of all you channel aether as an eorzean, garleans don't do that without the help of the resonant modification which made zenos stand heads and shoulders above his peers. Most garleans are not pureblood and those who are rely on their superior constitution and build plus the occasional magitek armaments. Lucia didn't participate in head to head combat against a dragon the size of pyro/cryo dragon but commanded the temple knights during steps of faith. Even Aymeric struggled against Vidolfnir which isn't close to one eyed hraesvalgr when you fought him during sohr khai.

@@agnosticnixie "Normal" people become not so normal when they train hard enough. not to mention Gaius was pretty strong on his own. the training can be explained by an unfamiliar body, the rest, not so much.

@@zeehero7280 Gaius also has a ton of Magitek, whether in his Legatus Armor Iron Man suit, or just the gunblade he carries which lets him do Terminus Est or other boss attacks. He does train a ton, of course, but he's even more reliant on his gear. On that note, remember that Thancred also cannot channel aether since end of ARR and still manages to be a badass.

Spoiler and so sad .. she never gave us her back, she always loved us with unconditional love, just like a mother.

nope, definitely don’t regret it even a little bit 😭

I always believed in her so I didn’t pick that option

@@joshuapaige5728 I never doubted Her. She took a bullet/Ultima for us.

i didn't choose that option, i've always believed in her. never understood the mistrust the rest of the players seem to have in her.

It also shows through how much shit those two have already been through that G'raha very quickly asks the "Who are you?" question, not falling for any of this crap yet again.

You get used to the voices you play with regardless of nationality. And if I can escape from whiny English emet selch I'm all for it. Fuck that version of him

@@TheSilverwing999 Whiny? He's a sarcastic asshole. Thats why hes likable

I always played with Japanese voices (you can thank ARR Papalymo and Alphinaud for that) but I've watched so many people play Endwalker with the English dub that I'll probably go with that next expansion.

my sweet summer child. just...my sweet summer child. I will say no more. for others. Just...my sweet summer child. i'm not even done with the whole MSQ yet. But...my sweet...summer child...

Spoiler.. . . . . . . . . . .. .. . . . And then we go to Thavnair again and shit is beyond fucked and things get even worse after that. God i love how the expansion goes from 0-100000 after the slow start, the only bad part is that i cant forget the story to re-experience it again with fresh eyes,

Yea...the latter half of the MSQ broke me, and then the last zone broke whatever was left of the pieces. Especially The Walk.

@@Xenmaru00 yeah bro you’ll poop you pants then eat it then poop again it’s so crazy ur cognitive functions will just like cease man you don’t even know how crazy it is I’m still cleaning my chair bro it’s so crazy I’m gonna need counseling bro

I went through the seven stages of grief from this expansion. absolute.. madlad writing

What if.... what if Zenos' avatar is his mother?

@@ChainedFei We will never know...

I'm mad at Alisaie , I wanted that pickle.

YUP YUP YUP YEP!!!!!

Yup, Yoshitsugu Matsuoka

And Vrtra's is Kazuma from Konosuba

It was, though? Vrtra was the biggest troll, all "oh keep your friends close or they might get killed by what you get swapped in" fake foreshadowing, lol. Despite the LITERAL end of the world, it's the expansion with the lowest body count of all somehow 🤷‍♀️

The true magic was the Penn Station we entered along the way..

On hindsight I wonder if he had trouble with his coordination for a bit in my case, considering he now had an extra tail for balancing, and cat ears. Maybe that's why it took him so long to get to the camp. And imagine the headache from suddenly hearing way too good with Viera ears or so. :D
