The Lore of Valisthea (Final Fantasy 16)
Ойындар
I may only have scraps to work with, but that doesn't mean I would try my best! FF16 is shaping up to be a very interesting game from its returns to its more fantasy roots. I'm very curious to see how the story turns out! I just need to get a PS5 now so I can actually play the dang thing. lmao

Canonically, this video means that Synodic Scribe is a Sharlayan scholar by day, and nerdy lore hound for fictional kingdoms like Valisthea by night. :D

The story FFXVI is a popular novel in Eorzea and Synodic Scribe, the nerdy Sharlayan scholar, is huge fan of it!

@@yasminluthfiaa1311 It would actually be kinda funny if every FF game exists in every FF game as fantasy novels and other media with slight alterations to their retelling to fit the world and culture of the FF game they are featured in.
I swear if the Blight is a precursor to a Rejoining...
I love your FF XIV stuff, but I'm happy to see you expand beyond it. I'm here for whatever you decide to do.

I feel like it'd be a shame to NOT do at least a bit of FF16 lore with how it's in the same franchise. haha

I just love how 14 influence is ALL OVER this realm 😍. Even the Duke’s red garb is something a caster would wear 😅
I love how the crystalline dominion's flag is a call back to the 4 Crystals colors of the OG FF

legitimately in every cutscene when any person place or thing is on screen(including ones i’ve already read about, i’ll check the lore for any updates.
I feel your pain on the PS5 front, but let’s hope the people who do have them invest more time into the ATL reads
When it comes the Eikons there’s also Leviathan the Lost who is the only mentioned once that I can remember so far

@@jonathansoko1085 Yoshida has stated the opposite, actually. His statement is that they wanted the base game to be a complete experience, but since, according to his statement, players want to see more, they will be working on it and hopefully have something to announce soon. Considering how close to the chest they held the game's development (it was being developed for a long time before it was even announced) it wouldn't surprise me one bit if they had DLC they were working on already they just didn't announce at launch,

I love how Koji Fox described the world of valisthea. It's a world in which magic literally does everything, technically the technology is extremely primitive. The people of Valisthea just use magic, need fire to smelt steel? Just use magic, need fresh water? Magic. It's honestly very refreshing as i always wondered why if you have magic in your universe wouldn't you just use it for everything.
Rock me Valisthea 🎉
Whether I stay away from FF16 till I play it, or make it a game I love but never played by drowning myself in the wiki, lore books and walkthroughs (as I did with many, many other games) because I can afford neither a PC nor PS5. But that’s a question irrelevant to this video. I’ve already known all of this info because I used to visit the FF16 website every morning around the time before the Ambition trailer dropped. But you turning the info into something more coherent with one another is so wonderful, and is one of the reasons why I like your lectures! Keep up the good work! P.S. I always wonder how on earth FFXIV and FFXVI crossover, and one of my pipe dreams is Valisthea will have a version somewhere in Etheirys like how there’s Dalmasca in southern Othard.
This really helped me a LOT, if you watch it before playing the game it helps so much
valistha's aether is not to be confused with eorzea's aether also thanks for the lesson of valistha
I’m about to be reading for a couple of hours lol can’t wait 5 more days
And the game isnt even out yet. Good job so far!
re: eikons, there actually is one more (though they don't make an appearance in the game beyond a passing mention from one character) and that is Leviathan, referred to at the time as "Leviathan the Lost" so.... DLC bait maybe?
Game's not even out and Scribe is already on the hunt Though for the ATL, you likely wont have to worry as they confirmed in the prelaunch livestream that the archivist npc will save all the ATL lore in case you missed it
Let's goooo

I love me some Bahamut, but I have a feeling that his dominant is a POS character.
As a PC player, it hurts my heart to know FF16 is a console exclusive.
