correct way to end the video

Woof woofwoof WOOF HOOOWL!

no one: absolutly no one: California residents not knowing how to cross train tracks until a pacific surfliner hits them at 98 MPH and some random ass plane getting hit by a Metrolink train

yucca valley is literally just desert and gas stations

Cant believe no one is talking about the sgv. At least the west sgv

Missed Inglewood

Ailuromage over here potentially simping but hiding it with knowledge (i approve)

Hollywood es un pinche desmadre

1:04 I see what you did there Cat Mage.

She's my wife. I love her. Her fight is amazingly fun and I jsut had a huge smile the whole time with those names.

Dawntrail made me appreciate Endwalker more

Is there any FF or real life reference to the Cath Palg, the soul she uses for the fight? Or was it Cath Palug?

Elevate and Evicerate reminds me of cats playing with their food. Throwing caught mice into the air just to catch them again. Hunting for sport and not for food.

This was a nice palette cleanser.

NYAAAAN! Okay the tinfoil cat hat made me cackle.

IRC, the "Making Biscuits" behavior of cats is a holdover from when they were kittens. They do it on their mother's teets to massage/stimulate the glands. Helping the milk flow so the kitten can drink when its hungry. Cats do it when they're older, mainly as a sign that they're getting comfy or they are happy. (Could be wrong if so lmk please)

Wow, I was actually thinking to myself if you'd make a video like this, and here we are and it's as funny as I was hoping and surprisingly insightful. Love it.

This video cat-ches cat vibes purrfectly (sorry) :3

I loved the silliness going on this video. Specially enjoyed the 'tinfoil hat' part, really funny seeing the cat with the big wizard hat. I also was unaware that your name had a background to it, I though it was just a cool name + a videogame role you like playing as. Really cool thing to learn about that I didn't know ever existed.

It was fun watching people fall through the floor.

Biscuit Maker is the best tank buster name

This one turned out a lot sillier in tone than usual but I hope you enjoyed! Additionally that part with the Grimalkin, I forgot to specify they were large animals like cows. That's why it was supposed to be unsettling in its story! Thank you all for the support as always.

The Buena Park one is accurate asf

San Diego housing prices got jacked up by Bay Area tech bros and LA people after everyone moved here during COVID remote work, so now they're right alongside IE for when other cities bullshit affects them

Love your videos ! they're so well done. good job friend. All hail magic history cat

Missed Fallbrook judging everyone else’s guacamole.

Absolute incredible video! That was awesome!

Santa Clarita anyone?

As a San Diego resident I can confirm we are gigachads

Big fan of Zodiark, I remembered looking up some of his attack names but didn't have the historical context to really appreciate it the way its laid out in this video. Nor for that matter the throughline of greek themes appearing for other bosses like with the Endsinger. Nice! really good vid

1:27 THIS IS SO MOTHERFUCKING REAL

Escondido left the chat

As a Santa Clarita resident, you forgot that there can be a rich neighborhood with strip malls nearby and in 400 feet there will be ranches and horses everywhere

Absolutely stunning! Love the research and effort that went into the editing and presentation

I’m from Menifee

I love this type of video so i hope you continue them! ❤

Speaking of druid-themed white mages: The Conjurer is actually called Druide (Druid) in German!

Feels like the game just puts names of stuff as abilities and there's no deeper meaning to it. So I enjoy hearing research into their meanings and how they could be appropriate for what they do. For some reason, gunbreaker has a lot of rocks- me learning what corundum and a bolide are.

Man I love history, theology, mythology, and so on...I want to learn more about these things but I never retain what I learn and sitting down and trying to study stuff is really hard, especially actually retaining the knowledge I find. I never went to college and barely scraped by in high school so it's not exactly my strong suit lol. Even when I watch videos like this or listen to podcasts I'm always half-paying attention and half-doing something else. Anyway thanks so much for these videos, I love them <3

Thanks for being cozy and also informative!

oooo

I haven’t seen your DT vid yet cause I **just** did the second EW trial for the first time so didn’t wanna spoil myself but your vid’s are informative and I’m sorry who doesn’t want to listen to a cat mage?? Now to go shamelessly steal your glam 😎

I'm glad I started watching your videos because I like hearing or seeing explanations on why certain words are used for abilities, attacks, or even creatures and people. Ty for your hard work and looking forward to more from you!

My new favorite lore/flavor channel ❤

Your channel is something I have been waiting for a very long time, historical and mythological references in games has always been something I loved - especially when they go beyond "cool name" and actually incorporate those aspects into the game's narrative. I started playing FFXIV in early 2014 and always have been curious about ability names - I remember being obsessed over the different Scholar ability names across localizations. I do find Scholar is a bit inconsistent with its theming - maybe you can make sense of it haha. Your video on the Lightwardens is probably my favourite since learning about Storge actually made me appreciate the entire 'trolley arc' way more since it was extremely fitting given what happens in the story during that part

Oooh, looking forward to that long form one. As someone fascinated and excited by Transhumanist ideas, and a fan of the RPG Eclipse Phase, I really enjoyed the final zone of DT and the questions it raises. Questions that get far more difficult in a setting where the existence of the soul and an afterlife and reincarnation of objective demonstrable facts.

I love your videos. And I love this kind of update video to add stuff that wouldn't have been enough for its own video. As a classical philology minor, I ate well in FFXIV Endwalker with all the Greek names and concepts. I can only imagine how much this game caters to your taste with this many historical references and Christian concepts (even if most are just borrowed in name).

"ApomnimonEvmata" xD

One more thing is regarding the name "Meteion", it might be complete coincidence but I doubt cause it fits pretty well. In greek the word for "something in vain" is "μάταιον" (pronounced mateon). I think it fits perfectly the lore of the character. I wander if the devs wanted to connect "meteor+mateion" with that name or they simply didnt want to...spoil the story for the few who would understand the meaning of it.

Also related to the theme of the Kokytos, this whole fight happens in the depths of Mare Lamentorum. "The Sea of Lament" named similarly to the "seas" on the moon IRL.
