  Oh yayyyyyy I love nerdy etymological/linguistics videos like these! Take my sub! When you get to the part about Phlegma in particular, it got me thinking about water's elemental connotations in mythology/astrology in particular. Meaning how water is always associated with healing spells in a lot of RPGs, and the 3 water signs (Cancer/Scorpio/Pisces) are often said to be very emotional/compassionate. So why does being phlegmatic mean being distant/apathetic, and NOT emotional? Then I realized... as an empath personally, if I'm being attacked from all sides from my friends/loved ones all going through horrible trials in life, it causes me to effectively overdose on compassion and I become apathetic and removed for a brief time as a result. So brilliant.

  So as a knight appreciator, I will offer an explanation for Passage of Arms. As I understand, Passage of Arms or Pas d'Armes does refer to the kind of tournament combat you described, but also has a secondary connotation particularly in Chivalric Romances. It was used not just to describe that form of combat, but a kind of activity in knight errancy in which a knight would choose a location (crossroads, bridge, literal pass in the mountains) to defend and challenge any other knights who came along. It's the general trope you see a lot in some Arthurian stories where [insert Round Table Knight here] is travelling along and has to fight a random knight as a part of their quest. Or, more humorously, the Black Knight of Monty Python fame. With this in mind, the name makes a lot of sense, because it's in effect the WoL as one of these errant knights choosing to hold a position against all comers.

  For the Choles I do believe each of them is named after a bile used to process certain things. Taurochole relates directly to the bile taurochenodeoxycholic acid which is heavily used when digesting meat and cholesterol heavy foods. Druochole being tree bile probably refers to the bile responsible for digesting cellulose, Kerachole likely refers to the bile that breaks down keratin. Ixochole means mistletoe bile so I have no clue what how that relates to anything we eat, maybe another bile that our bodies use to break down plants. They mostly make a lot of sense and all of them other then maybe Ixochole have a real life counterpart.

  This was a really good video! As someone who's been interested in not just FF14 lore, but lore of other FF games in general, there are some connections I'm still a bit curious about. I agree with your assessment of Nald'thal as a Libra, although symbology-wise as "the twin gods Nald and Thal", they, on the surface, appear as Gemini. Though I hesitate to fully remove their Gemini connection because there's a precedent for it in the past. In FF12, there are 12 Zodiac "Espers" and 12 Zodiac "Scions" that oppose them. The Esper for Gemini is Zalera, the Death Seraph, and Gemini in general is associated with the element of Death. The Scion that opposes Zalera is the familiar name "Emet-Selch, Angel of Truth." Indeed, most of the Ascians take their names from these same Scions from FF12's lore, and the Ascian's face-glyphs usually resemble the symbol of the Esper they came from. At first, when myths of the realm was still being released, my theory was that Nald'Thal was Emet Selch, and the rest of the 12 were also Ascians. However, that theory was disproven at the end of the questline, where it was revealed that each of the twelve were Ancients- but not the Ascians specifically. However, with Gemini already being established as having connection to death and the underworld, and Emet-Selch's identity as Hades, it's really hard not to look at Nald'thal, the twin gods of commerce and death, and not associate them with Gemini, since in Ul'Dah, they often associate Nald'Thal with the afterlife. Though your assessment of their personality in the raid tier as a Libra is pretty fair. And shuffling them over to be a Gemini would throw the rest of your assessments out of whack. I did feel like the symbolism and precedent among both FF14 lore and the lore of FF12 / Ivalice was worth mentioning.

• 
  @Ailuromage4 күн бұрын

  Very interesting! I'm not as familiar with FF12 but that connection does make sense. Nald'Thal in FFXIV is commerce and the afterlife, but they are also depicted with the scales, just like goddess Themis. Themis is the holder of the scales of the Libra sign as an arbiter of justice and "weighing your souls" just like Nald'Thal. So it probably goes many ways for them. I feel like Nald'Thal has a lot of responsibilities, probably had 0 days off. Thanks for sharing the FF12 connection!

  The one ability you skipped, and the one I was hoping you'd cover, is Sage limit break Techne Makre, where they briefly summon a technological three. I'd like to know more about the references used for the ability.

• 
  @Ailuromage4 күн бұрын

  Techne is where we get "technique" and it relates to art or creation of a craft. The second part "Makre" more directly means "long." However, this is part of a phrase that is really popular in both Greek and Latin. So within the context of the statement it is somewhat like "Life is short but art takes time." This statement is attributed to Hippocrates, the same one attributed with the origins of the Four Humors who was a physician. I have seen this interpreted in a few different ways as it was used in Latin quite a bit and appeared in some Christian texts. (I am mostly experienced in Christian and Church History). One interpretation is that Hippocrates is implying that life is too short for a Physician to ever perfect their craft. A second interpretation is that Hippocrates is stating that one's craft will always outlive them because of how short life is. I like the second one better personally, it just feels more hopeful! If you look up "ars longa, vita brevis" it should pull up more if you're interested, as that is the Latin bit of the phrase. 😺

  It's important to note that Pneuma is not only "breath" in the literal sense but that in Greek cosmology it also refers to the "breath of the universe", a concept similar to "mana" in fictional mythologies or "aether" in FFXIV.

  A connection that popped into my mind in regards to taurochole and kerachole is that the sacrifice of bulls was a famous enough piece of ancient greek religion/culture that it pops up from time to time in the literature. Both of the abilities feature strong mitigation effects at the cost of an addersgall stack and so you could read those abilities as you sacrificing your addersgall (a very limited and important strategic resource) to receive divine favour/protection in the form the mitigation and healing provided by those abilities. Also I've heard that ixochole could be drawing from the greek word for mistletoe though I couldn't say for sure but if that is potentially correct then the two main healing uses of addersgall coming from the words for tree and mistletoe would make a lot of sense since components from both of those sources are thought to show up quite a lot in ancient medicine so the healing abilities being medicines does make a lot of sense.

  Toxicon could also refer to the gods Apollo and Artemis. Apollo was known as a god of medicine, but the twins arrows could also be interpreted as plagues or sudden death. You could pray to Apollo for healing, or prayed to the twins to not bring their arrows down upon you. This association probably explains why the word toxic comes from word that originally meant archery.

  I did some quick research on Taurus as it relates to Greek medicine. The astrological signs are each associated with an element and a modality. The Taurus is a Fixed Earth sign. Fixed signs are said to be associated with slowness and resistance to change. In good humors, this translates to a resistance to disease, lasting vitality, and endurance. In-game, Kerachole and Taurachole are applied both when the target(s) are still in mostly good health (otherwise Ixochole may be used first, or Druochole / Eukrasian Diagnosis in addition to Taurochole) ahead of incoming damage. The damage mitigation and regeneration (by Kerakeia) make them great representatives of the Fixed Earth sign, Taurus.

•

  Thank you for sharing this! I initially made connections to Astrology and I may have overthought it, as I began thinking about the accompanying Tarot, the Hierophant, as it is in some cases associated with being "holy" or spiritual because it's often a depiction of the Pope. Which would make sense in a general way for protection or health. I think the Earth connection is more powerful though!
