@AbigatorM Minor spoilers but when you DO meet up with Ardbert in Shadowbringers and choose the right dialogue- he kinda confirms that the Exarch spys on you.
"It's probably something he's doing on purpose. Maybe he suspects you're watching him, kind of like you actually are now? And he's doing it just to confuse you?" Emet-Selch, trying to double-troll him, unknowing of Ardberts presence.
those tiny details are what make Bene's videos so great; theyre funny and well animated but this attention to detail gives so much greatness to the whole
I want to think the mirror thing isn't projecting the sound, we're just blasting music so loud in the pendants that you can hear it from the crystal tower
Emet-selch's face comes into frame over Exarch's shoulder: "This is the most entertainment I've had all day. I should get myself one of these." *Exarch yells. Potato chips go flying*
The best part of this whole thing is the implication that the Warrior of Light despite all his good traits is still that guy who can and will play music at deafening volume within a hotel with thin walls.
My head cannon for the WoL is that we're a complete gremlin that just so happens to have godlike self control. If we're in front of foreign dignitaries and important people we will behave, when faced with enemies we will show no mercy, but THE MOMENT we're alone or with close friends we become sass machines hellbent on pranking everything and everyone.
Crystal exarch: I mean... He could be warming up before switching to dancer foe today's outing. WoL: You and me, bro? We taking the spotlight at the next "Crystarium's got Talent".
I also personally consider them to be practically a seperate character, in the same way 'Bruce Wayne' and 'Batman' are practically seperate characters psychologically.
I mean his hood is not hiding anything in the video. But some people think of the Exarch and G'raha as separate characters. Exarch is future-G'raha. Meanwhile, G'raha post-5.3 is basically a brand new being born from the merging of our timeline's G'raha with the soul and memories of the Exarch. And it really shows in his mannerism and the way he talks. In Japanese, he even uses different pronouns and the Exarch talks like an old man, even after his identity was revealed. But fused-G'raha talks like a young man again. To me at least, it's very hard to think of them as the same person when they're so different.
@@geekwars3998 the one moment in Endwalker proved that G'Raha could still Exarch, but G'Raha did state shortly after the merging that not having a singular mission taking up every waking moment gave him a new perspective on life, kinda like getting a new start on life.
I don't know why, but the detail of exarch rubbing his fingers after eating a chip to get the chip dust off them. I just related to that on a spiritual level.
bruh, the first time I listened to Herald of Darkness, WoL and Ardbert were literally the first thing I thought of. Thank you for animating this. Your service will be remembered
I've literally been HOLDING MY BREATH WAITING for this shitpost combo. The SECOND I heard this song in Alan Wake 2 all I could think about was FFXIV lol. My stomach hurts, this is hysterical. Bless, thank you
As I was watching, I thought "...they just needed an excuse to animate this dance." Then I scrolled down and read the description and genuinely laughed out loud.
also so in love with the Champion of Light and Herald of Darkness being WoL and Ardbert respectively.... i am so sick. i love this so much. also Exarch adding another mental note about how insane WoL is
I come back and watch this every couple of weeks and what cracks me up the most is how utterly confused Ardbert looks but how absolutely MESMERIZED he is with it. The dance has his body in an absolute vice-grip
Ok but for some reason i'm imagining Emet with the Exarch at some point while watching events unfold from a distance and the WoL just does something like this. I further imagine Emet being both confused and terrified.
Lmao i just found out who the crystal exarch is during MSQ a few hours ago if this was in my home page just before i migth have got a spoiler😂 (great video btw)
Whats awesome is that all the dance moves are lovingly hand-animated. No feet slipping into the floor, no hyper extensions tugging at the arms and barbie hands, no deeply obvious clipping of legs through armour... damn you did a wonderful job
I meam, why not? Poor Ardbert probably can't remember when he last had fun and spammed dance emotes in the aetheryte plaza in Eulmore. Slap on a banger on the orchestrion and have fun.
