One thing that probably should be brought up: Double Shield Boss (can't spell his name) was one of the most popular NPCs in the game before a large quest rework. Cape Westwind was the first 8-man trial in the game, vs. Double Shield Boss, and it became a community thing where if someone was new to act like it was going to be the most difficult fight ever, when due to item level scaling it was over in a minute. So even though the character is so forgettable, he was one of the most enduring NPCs from ARR because of the meme.
This is going to blow up eventually. Great work on the video! There's a lack of this sort of recap for XIV in this style.

Or maybe it's cursed you ;) But seriously, thanks! Really appreciate it!
44:14 I remember when they announced they were trimming Post ARR questlines and I was devastated that they removed the chocobo sniffing.
I’ve watched several summaries of ARR and this is easily the most engaging one, capturing the important events in a way that is informative and engaging. Really looking forward to the follow ups.
Tempering is absolute nightmare fuel, and I respect the game for going 'yeah this is a terrible thing and we're forced to kill the people who are tempered because if we didn't they'd sacrifice people to the primal'. Not many games would have the sheer cahones to put something that outright traumatising into their story and make it front and centre of a fair amount of the plot. Legit the first time I was going through the aftermath of Titan I had to stop playing for the night because I needed time to process it. Those soldiers who were with us, who were pretty cool for the short time we knew them, they were *dead* because they didn't have the same lucky break as us. God I love this game.
The last hour of the ARR msq was incredible and NOTHING in the game has made me more excited for the future of the game since. Nothing has even come remotely close.
seeing the quality of this video i expected someone with several thousand subscribers. Keep up the good work
24:05 To be fair, most people with amnesia don't have complete memory loss. More recent or more used memories tend to be lost while deeper, lesser-used memories are retained. It's very common for people with amnesia to not remember the names of friends they spend every day with, but things they didn't think about for years are easily remembered for them. It's not unreasonable to assume Cid knew about the corrupt crystals due to him being a renowned engineer, but because it isn't knowledge he actively uses it was retained.
I recommend doing Coils synced at least once! It's an unforgettable experience and *will* make you a better raider.
Are you doing this for every expansion? As a returning player, I love these because they give such a great summary of the plot!

Thanks! The original plan was a straight up series of retrospectives but I didn't have the time to comment on as much as I'd have liked in that regard, so it's kinda both critique and recap in a weird sorta way. I rushed the ARR one a bit but I'm much happier with how the others have turned out so far.
Can really see this exploding at some point. This is the kind of review and story summation that's been missing imo! Gives people who want to join in Dawntrail a way to catch up on important lore if they would like to etc! Great little series :)
Can't wait to see this entire series finished. AMAZING work
Hi i just discovered your videos recently have been very much enjoying listening to them. Their is a very interesting hypothesis about the end of the crystal tower questline when Nero walks off. Some ominous beeping like sounds can be heard. These beeps can be translated using morse code that spells out a certain infamous quote from a certain birdy.
Found this video by chance through recommendations. As someone who beat ARR years ago in 2019 and replaying them again with my girlfriend this video did a great job of doing a quick and easy overview of the main and post msq content for ARR. can't wait to watch/listen the rest of the expansions as they come out.

Great work. ❤ Playing since 1.0 and looking back like this is really nice :) Since ff14 was my first mmo I never had much hate for 1.0 since I didn't know what to expect from a mmo. But going into the beta and then into arr, it was a fantastic journey. I didn't feel the slack much since 1.0 was worse paced and other older rpgs as well, so it was pretty refreshing in comparison. The combat was more exiting back then since you did had more skills and more skill options from the crossclass skill system, sch alone had 5 dots. So it was a bit busier and I see how ppl feel underwhelmed til 50 or even 60 nowadays. But happy you enjoyed it and many more even today.
Thanks for an awesome video!
Excellent video, going to watch your heavenwards video now.
Rhitatyn at one point was a streamer meme fight. Used to be stupid easy before they redid ARR.
I really enjoyed this. I've tried to watch other summaries of the FF14 story, but people always try to sound so dramatic and over the top I have to turn it off. I like this style. Straight forward, informative. A+
also, it might be worth trying to run the final dungeons with min ilevel sync and no echo, it makes it much more close to the intended experience
You used to be able to mix and match abilities from classes but I'd imagine it was a nightmare to balance when they started developing Heavensward so they abandoned it along with the ability to increase your base stats with accumulated points per level.
I´m not a Final Fantasy Fan at all but your Video was really good explained and i liked the funny comments here and there! Keep up the good work this is good, really good!
1:17:26 Your comment here asking about when Monks will get that move that Yda does inspired me to double check. Sure enough, Monks get it at Ultima Weapon: it's their LB3.

Hey ! Fantastic video that was a pleasure to watch ! If I can add a fun fact about the poor voice acting in ARR, It's not just a problem in English, but in French too. And like for english voice cast, a big improvment was made during Heavensward !
@DynaChris
Ай бұрын
I didn't know about the French voice cast, that's interesting! As I said in the video, I think a lot of the problem was voice direction, because there's actually a few really good actors in the ARR cast. Either way, it definitely improved in HW! :)
I think there's a lot about arr that I still really enjoy, especially in comparison to a lot of fans. however the one thing that really annoys me is how many cutscenes there would be during the dungeon. it always gave me a lot of anxiety doing them, trying to read the cutscenes as fast as possible and sometimes having to skip them because someone accidentally pulled the boss before I got there. of course, everyone was lovely and didn't mind waiting, but I'm very glad that's no longer an issue, with any cutscenes after the initial one being very short, and big story moments waiting until after you leave the dungeon
@DynaChris
Ай бұрын
Yeah I think ARR gets a lot of undeserved hate. It's probably due to everything after it being so much better, though. I feel you on the anxiety btw - I remember my first runs through quite a few dungeons (and especially alliance raids) ending with bosses being pulled right at the start of the cutscenes. The way I see it, if I'm playing healer and my teammates die because they were too impatient, that's on them ;)
I had to run it again through with an alt because my first time through I skipped everything and plus it was 10 years ago LOL. Getting through 2.0 wasn't NEARLY as bad as everyone cried about. Doing the post patches is where it felt like it never ended. Anywho, great job on the video!!! 🙂🙂🙂

Yeah it's definitely the patch stuff that's the worst. I think a lot of the complaints are because Heavensward onwards are just so much better than ARR, rather than ARR itself being bad.

@DynaChris
Ай бұрын
A lot of it stems from how it used to be before the rework. It's nowhere near as bad now, but it used to be really tedious. I think the story vastly improves but the questing is still pretty sluggish. The payoff, though... *chefs kiss*
Yes
I dunno about the holy trinity my man, all I'm seeing is blue dps, red dps, and green dps :D Also man the lore of Sastasha was dark once you payed attention...
It’s such a shame that the voice direction in ARR wasn’t very good because it featured two of my favorite voice actors (Sam Reigel and Taliesin Jaffe) who ARE very good actors. I think it simply suffered from poor direction. 😢
4:30 --- She doesnt say "six" specifically, just that you have to find the crystals :P The more interesting part is, "by thy deeds will the crystals reveal themselves to thee". Also, not everyone is a FF veteran ;) 7:50 --- Its true, it wasnt the VAs "fault" that some of their lines feel flat... but you forgot to mention that SE back in the same was close to bankrupt from the failed 1.0. Thats (probably - we dont know) the reason the VAs got no direction and each only one take with minor or no time for preparations.
@DynaChris

Yeah she doesn't SAY six, but there are six :p And yeah they were close to bankrupt (again) but as you say, we don't know and probably won't ever know if that's why the voice direction sucked. Either way, I'm glad it got much better from Heavensward onwards!

32:00 if anything having only you on the magitek reaper makes most sense doesn't it? It's not like there's multiple Maggy's. But it would be very difficult to design the dungeon to only allow one person to use it..

Ай бұрын
I actually ended up missing that you're meant to interact with the magitek armor in that dungeon lol. This was before the cutscenes were unskippable, so my entire experience of the dungeon was desperately trying to read everything, then sprinting to catch up with everyone else, who couldn't be bothered to wait for the cutscenes, and by that time had already completed the next fight triggering the next cutscene. and when I did catch up... I realised everyone had a maggy and I was doing chip damage to the enemies, struggling to stay alive while everyone stormed ahead in the armor x.x I know we all laugh at the unskippable cutscenes now, but experiencing it skippable was one of the worst experiences of my life xD

It will be a great thing to see as we approach dawntrail and refresh my memory on everything. Count me along for the ride! Also I'm really glad you basically skipped over the boring filler stuff before titan and garuda.

FAST FACT! @DynaChris The whole "Sister playing as brother" thing that you complained about with Nael with the Coils Raid series was ENTIRELY due to a general communication breakdown and translation error ALL THE WAY BACK TO 1.0! Nael was always intended to be a girl, and Japan's lack of gendered pronouns made it easy to disguise it, but it was never communicated to the English team, so they did everything assuming Nael was a guy. By the time that Raid series went out, then they realized just how big a hole they had dug, and had to desperately throw something together to make it all make sense.
