Final Fantasy XVI #10:Logos, the Kindling of Creation or: How I Learned to Stop Caring and Kill『GOD』
The tenth and likely final episode of our first playthrough of Final Fantasy XVI. In the wake of the destruction of Drake's Spine, Ultima has awakened the ancient device Origin, hidden under the Crystaline Dominion's capital city. From this, he has sewn the seed for the creation of one final Mother crystal, and awaits our arrival at it's peak. It is here we shall take part in our Ultimate Battle, of Ultimate Destiny.
Odin has been a very interesting addition to the roster. He is not nearly what I expected of his tool kit, but has been a boon more than once. The ability to clear an entire field using Zantetsuken Lv.5 has been a humorous help, but using that tends to leave us dry before fighting major boss battles. The use of their ultimate attack is equally situational, the long wind up time leaving us rather vulnerable mid combat. This needs to paired with freezes or knock downs, anything with enough time to push through the window. But doing so nearly fills the Zantetsuen gague, and once we complete the Chronolith for Odin's trials, it will nearly fill each use, allowing for a more frequent use of Zt5.
Before we begin our final battle, there are a number of side quests still to embark on. Final farewells to be had, and weapons to forge. Of the hunts only those required for Gotterdammerung will be done, with as little time spent dilly-dallying as possible.
With the confirmation of Ultima as the true creator of humanity, some questions still linger, such as who other gods are such as Gregore. Perhaps these will also be mentioned within the archives, though it would have been nice to see in game. There are still a handful of pages left empty in the journal as well, important characters and monsters as of yet unseen. Who they are, and when they will be met is a mystery, as we near the completion of the game. I do not feel we overlooked anything, though it is possible it was some conversation not flagged as a priority that we possibly missed.
This game has been a wild ride to say the least, and I want to offer a sincere thank you for anyone and everyone who has joined us for this journey. I hope that you all have enjoyed this game as much as I have, and enjoy the climax of the story.

Final Fantasy XVI # 9 : Barnabas Tharmr, Warden of Ash
Four crystals shattered, only one remains.
The precipice of our fight with Banabas draws near. The Edge of Infinity stands before us, and the chance for revenge against the man who has since plagued our days.
We're soon to unlock our final Eikon, one who is said to have a feature as of yet unannounced. I've seen recent videos on youtube covering these but have not watched them. I can't wait to get a chance to play around with it. And you just KNOW this Odin fight is going to go crazy.
Depending on how long it takes to get through this, we might be able to finish the final boss fight by tomorrow just in time for episode 10. I recently saw someone got the platinum on Reddit, which is crazy since I feel like we've spent a large amount of time playing this consistently. But we should definitely be able to wrap this within about 18 hours or so.

Final Fantasy XVI # 8 : Ash
Four crystals shattered, only one remains.
In the wake of our confrontation with Odin, we've come to realize the true danger that awaits us in the land of Ash. Jill, knowing this to be the only way, gave herself up to Clive, and offered unto him her Eikon willingly.
Our covert entry will begin in the same shores that we washed up on, our one chance to make this work.

Final Fantasy XVI # 7 : All That Glitters is Gone
Four crystals shattered, only one remains.
Protogenesis now blights the land, and an ever missed opportunity to explore the untainted lands of Dalmechia's southern sands. In turmoil, our Heros seek to brave into the continent of Ash, and destroy the final Mother Crystal. Many questions still linger, what is Barnabas role in Ultima's plan. What Oedipus complex drives him, to bury his head into his mother's lap. And what praytell, is Ultima's ultimate goal? For what reason does he seek the vessel Mythos.
"Ultima is no mad dog killer, he is after something."
The city of Kanver, beset by the Akoshic and the might of Barnabas Tharmr begs for Clive and the Cursebreaker's aid. But, nothing in this story tends to have a happy ending. Let us pray that the city can make it out by the end of this ordeal.
We may hit a few side quests to make sure nothing is missed after this part of the story advances, but the priority is this stage, and perhaps some adventure into the mysterious land of Ash. So far nothing has been shown of it outside of a brief glimpse of Drake's Spine in one or two trailers. We eagerly anticipate such an opportunity to explore.

The stream timer sadly will have to be a dead concept. A thunderstorm blew out my power yesterday morning, and there is no way the timer will catch back up especially with additional videos between here and there. A fun idea, but it was not meant to be.
We currently stand at around 67% completion according to the PS5, at about 48 hours in. The last session did not advance much of the MSQ, but essential stories such as the end of Lostwing. With any luck this next episode will get us further to the end of the story. Much is still unknown, such as the origin and fate of the Fallen, and the backstory of the tapestry found in Tabor. Perhaps there we will find our answers.

Final Fantasy XVI # 6 : Bonfire in the Dread Night

With a day missed, this episode will be primarily focused on completing the MSQ. If we have the opportunity to do any major side quests, such as Blacksmith Blues III or another that unlocks a key feature, we'll take a moment to explore those.
Some good news outside of the game, the Collectors Edition finally arrived today. I made a recording on the process, and hope to have a video of it up on the channel in the next couple days. All of the artwork is gorgeous, though the map and statue are both a bit smaller than I anticipated.

Final Fantasy XVI # 5 : Hope Ablaze
Three Crystals down, two to go!!
I had some technical issues with OBS, and unfortunately I had to restart it which killed the timer. As of the last stream there was 34:01:49. The timer I currently have doesn't allow me to set a time to count up from, so I will have to let this run in the back ground / while I'm away at work tomorrow. Hopefully I can have it caught up in time for part 6 adding in this streams length. I'll ballpark it as close as I reasonably can. Unfortunately I don't think I will, as a part six will run through past 11 pm tomorrow assuming another stream Monday night.
We'll get it fixed.
Regardless, less techincals and more story!!
Ultima continues to be a growing concern and the relationship he has with the Mothercrystals ever more troubling. What connection does Barnabas have, and what link does this have with Cid's ambitions to destroy the crystals himself. Both wished for the same goal, but perhaps for different reasons? In the worst case scenario, even for the same.
What is Mythos? What limitless power exists within Ifirit to allow him to steal away the powers of other Eikons?
And what of the meeting between Joshua and Dion?
So many questions, and yet so little time.
We currently stand at around 58% completion according to the PS5, with any luck we'll have the answers to all of our questions within the next two streams. But in the mean time, you'll just have to stay tuned to the stream to find out!!

Final Fantasy XVI : Spoiling Appetites
Two weeks to go, and still more videos drop. From what I gather this should be an excerpt of the different iconic abilities used in the Arete Stone; and a dungeon raid leading up to the boss fight vs Liquid Flame. I'm still debating streaming the boss fight, but from what was shown on IGN it looks incredibly fun!

Final Fantasy XVI : Free from the Embargo!!
The Embargo on Final Fantasy XVI has been lifted, and a number of new clips have been released to the public. I've compiled a collection of these, primarily from Gematsu and hope to see what new information is contained inside.
A warning for spoilers, I gather this largely covers the start of the game, both the intro and the earlier years of Clive's life in Rosaria. If you want to play this game without seeing these scenes in more context, I advise you skip this stream.
There is only a month left till this game drops!! LETS KEEP THIS HYPE TRAIN GOING!!!

Tokyo Xanadu eX+ : Idol or Nothing
Last chance for this series. If I can't make it to the SPiKA concert, we'll try something else.
After a week long break we're coming back at this game with a vengeance. Our only goal is making it to the concert, and nothing else. And, after further consideration I'll likely skip some of the NPC's moving forward so we can finish the series.

Tokyo Xanadu eX+ : Lets Crash an Idol Concert!
Jumping back into Tokyo Xanadu! I managed to a bit of practice off stream, but not terribly much and certainly not enough to break the game. That said the card game is wicked fun, but I didn't want to miss any of the progression or new characters off stream.
Returning to the main plot, we need to see if Ryouta will help us get into the SPiKA concert! And besides, that bad fortune is probably nothing to be worried about!
