The history of the 13th was really interesting.

I guess we really did owe Zenos a fight for risking life and limb to get to our characters but I refuse to think of Zenos as my characters "friend".

Um...so that random voidsent I talked to...well can't say the extra dialogue isn't interesting.

This fight on extreme is just interesting...

These are the times I wish FFXIV was an open world. Would love to explore the 13th!!

Zero is kinda awesome.

So many questions just from this part of the story alone.

So I attempted editing the dungeon but its a little choppy. I did leave full boss fights in but its my first attempt at this kind of editing. Hopefully I can do better in the future. 15:54: The Fell Court of Troia 17:23: First Boss 24:20: Second Boss 29:40 Final Boss 36:00 Cut-scene

And so ends Patch 6.1

I am sorry but Y'shtola gets the best scenes and reactions from the other characters around her. This one so good.

This may sound crazy but I actually like it when they go into these explanations on how their world works and the inner workings of what seems impossible. It is like we get a look into the writers minds and how they are making things work in the story. It is interesting that the Source and the 13th are so connected when the other shards are not. Is another shard more connected to the 1st? What about the 13th denizens that live on the first? They can open void portals. I cannot wait to see how they incorporate them into this tale. I love that we get to be sassy sometimes. Someday I will go through the alternate options and record them for a compare/contrast type of thing.

This is all story and cut-scenes. Good story.

Timeline: Beginning: Story 1:50: Me being an awful black mage. I really do not know the job and it is painfully obvious. 8:15: 1st Boss Fight 11:40: More mobs to fight and me pretending to play a black mage 18:00: 2nd Boss Fight 21:45: More mobs 27:30: Something SPECIAL before the final boss if you look carefully. Do you see it? Can it be found anywhere else? Why did Hades leave it for us? 27:55: Final Boss Fight 32:48: Back to Story (Yes I know it is far more entertaining to troll Y'shtola but I didn't.)

So I think I might use the videos from my alt for this patch. I might even re-post Newfound Adventure. I think I have a cleaner recording. I kinda love the idea that we are following the path that Emet-Selch set before us. I forgot to mention that you get slightly more out of the drinking guy if you continue the conversation.

I put all four quests in this video so I know it is long but its the full story-line. This quest-line is, in my opinion, so good. It is just well done. I wish they did the voice acting with this and many of the others. It would make it all that much better. Nero has a heart whether he admits it or not. Kinda reminds me of Kaiba...anyways 1. Bitter Snow 2. Frozen Hope: 13:00 3. Misguided Few 33:00 4. Forlorn Glory 56:22 Duty: 59:40

The Echo is interesting. It has always been implied when we see the memory that it is painful. We have no control over it and it has put our character in danger due to multiple inopportune times. But this time it looks like our character was actually trying to fight it off knowing that the timing was awful. I mean we fail but it was just interesting. It didn't seem like we tried to fight it off when we were alone with Fandaniel and he could have ended us then and there if he hadn't still been abiding by Zenos' plans.

Guess I forgot to post the Melee Role Quests so here they are. I am slowly going through old videos to see what I missed. Patch videos coming soon.

This is another msq quest that had unfortunately needed too much editing on the original to be posted. So here it is finally on my alt. 10:15 Aitiascope Begins 15:00 Ilberd Fight 16:40 Livia Fight Special Dead Guests 25:47 Rhitahtyn Fight More special dead guests 36:10 Amon Fight 43:40 Cutscene 1:09:00 Mothercrystal Trial I probably have no right calling this out lol but the Scions are not doing all the mechanics in this fight. I mean as a healer I would be bored I suppose if they did but it is funny to watch now on video. I never realized what they were actually doing while in the trust. 1:21:35 Cutscene: The rest is all story including that dream of our dear ancient friends. Foreshadowing at its finest: Mastery over matter, form to formless... These were the words of the original bearer: Emet-Selch is the only one who had that crystal before us since he made it for us in defiance of the convocation. When he reveals our title in his message to us, I don't remember him saying that. This part still gets to me. Love this story.

Another of the corrupted videos that I had when moving files. This one is a good one too. Literally in the quest box "now that you have recovered" really... I am sorry but have our characters really recovered from being kidnapped, experimented on by a mad scientist (literally he is: See Amon's history), and then forced into a body and fighting in said body that is not our own while Zenos heads to murder our friends in our bodies. I just feel like one might not be that quick to recover from that sort of trauma. Just saying... 17:14 Dungeon Begins: Tower of Babil Sorry about some of the crazy camera angles in the dungeon I was looking around and you can actually see the walls of the way the palace once looked before the tower transformed it you can even see the throne room. 49:15 Story resumes This cut scene really shows how depraved Zenos and of course Fandaniel truly are. Zenos really is a monster that needed to be put down.

Another one that had a corrupted file so I could not post it. This one was interesting. This one is all story and we get a peak into the twins past which is amusing but the interesting part is when we find the Scholar Montichaigne. So here we learn about aether. The soul, memory, and body. Hmmm...body, mind, and soul :) We learned in Shadowbringers that the soul and memory had to be transferred together to keep our scion friends whole. This is the interesting part the soul is rarely subject to dramatic change. So Hermes has always been a sociapathic whack job in every life just in different degrees it seems. When he did the memory wipe he scarred his soul or something. Is that what made him worse and more cruel in his other lives? And well we (Azem) are still Azem even if we are not whole, we still have a similar personality to that of our original life. In Shadowbringers it mentions that those with the echo the memory is so deeply ingrained into the soul that while the soul does not remember it kind of does at least the emotions. Remember they describe the immense sadness deep within when seeing the meteor shower. The 7th Umbral Calamity memory thing is interesting. I cannot remember did Louisoix erase everyone's memories on purpose? It is interesting the Sharlayan spell is very similar to Hermes spell with the memory stuff with the whole we can get it back once we return to the aetherial sea thing but at the same time different since it seems to only limit them speaking about the duty. They know about it still and their activities are not being hindered. They are still preparing. He says the souls are washed clean and get their memories back just like Hythlo says. But then he says something that contradicts what we have learned about souls. He says we mix with other souls and become a new soul but we know that is not the case. Why don't we tell him we know the answer to that. We learned in Shadowbringers about all that plus we know Minfilia's soul is still Minfilia's soul that Hydaelyn moved to the aetherial sea. Same with Hades. The second one he states we know is correct so why don't we say anything. Wouldn't Sharlayan love to know the truth. I guess we learn more as time goes on in this expansion as well. But I thought Shadowbringers did a decent job of explaining so of the soul stuff.
