Her name pops up a lot on the BLM quests - the Soul Crystal is called the Orb of Shantotto and she was the original maker of the Stardust Rod - the BLM relic. She made it by casting Meteor on a Star ... because she wanted to see what would happen.
Shatotto - or her memory, rather - even stops herself from making an accidental rhyme, discarding the notion as ridiculous. If that's not a reference to the Shantotto we know and love, idk what is.
i think it was implied that Shantotto was exiled during the crystal war because Robel knew she was smart enough to see through his ruse and wanted to avoid complications. somewhat paradoxical tho, since i believe she may have also been exiled during the crystal war before any intervention began.
I love Vivi, and he holds a very special place in my heart as my first and favorite Black Mage. But Shantoto would absolutely sweep the floor with him.
In addition to what was said here, she's since made an appearance "in spirit and voice" in the black mage quests, also she's mentioned in the Enecyclopedia Eorzea as a mage of Mhach.
The only character up to her level is Atori-Tutori, who's kind of her melee counterpart, although he doesn't appear as much - then again, he mentions an ex-girlfriend during the Black Belt quest...
If there's anyone to marry Shantotto, they'd have to arguably be one of the following: 1. Someone of equal strength, knowledge, and ambition as her own. 2. Someone of equal merit and position that would benefit Shantotto through marriage. 3. Someone that Shantotto has great value in as a person that furthers her own pursuits. She's the sort who'd never let anything hinder her. Her power and abilities garners a fear that should be known. Even the heroic player characters are no match to her, and in some scenarios; have been slain by her. She is not afraid to take matters into her own hands when it calls for it. But she won't parley stupid games with matters that're beneath her.
@@Polomance862 I dunno for the first two; she doesn't look like the person that would accept anything other than submission on a relationship. That would be a clash of egos. For the third, that sounds more like a professional relationship rather than marriage. I picture her like a woman that below her bravado is secretly affection starved (Not that she would ever admit it in public), due to her power, studies, reputation and attitude driving away any potential partners. Whoever Shantotto marries with is gonna end more likely as a trophy husband (Or wife; we don't know her tastes) working as her personal assistant.
Now she's in Dissidia Final Fantasy Opera Omnia, blowing stuff up and making "jokes" to Terra and Celes about how it would be fun to experiment on them ... OH-HOHOHOHO!
Umm...blackmage story inARR. From 30-50 her name is nentioned in every quest. She made the blackmages soulstone,relic weaoon (hit something with a star because she was bored if i remember right) and is the main reason blackmages became "forbidden" in eorzea several hundred years before. She was also mentionef once or twice around void ark raids.
It's great to see Shantotto once again after ffxi. I forgot Shantotto had automation . I would like to see a bestiary could be automation or my favorite job in ffxi pup (job bestiary??)
The thing is Belle Shantoto was just as bad as Domina Shantoto for different reasons. Domina Shantoto wants to rule the world for herself, Belle Shantoto wants to rule the world for it's own good. And both were down with the Shantotofication plan.
itsPriest I'm aware, and in it she mentions that should things get worse in Eorzea she'll return to help. Either it's a meaningless bit of text or it's hinting at her becoming a major story element at some point.
I remember in FFXIV Stormblood you meet the memory of a famous Black Mage name Shatotto. She's a Lalafel who looks just like Shantotto and has many of her mannerisms. Including her ego. She doesn't speak in rhyme though. I wonder if there is any relation.
Thanks for this, on my server/Free company I was disappointed with how few respect people brought to Shantotto, since most of them simply don't know her, for them she's mostly kinda 'just another Lalafell'. Actually I think some of them didn't even bother to think about it beeing a FFXI Colleberation actually. Since I think some of your viewers (at least those not watching the XI videos, because you have mentioned her and had that cutscene in Windurst Walls) might be at around the same point of knowledge, this will help them :D. Btw I completly forgot her part in ToAUs Missions, thanks for the reminder. Also I did realize, is there a copy/paste/edit error in the video descreption? It says you won't be streaming XIV yet due to NDA...that seems like 3 month old.
How old is Shantotto? In Dissidia Final Fantasy NT Ultimecia jabs Shantotto by saying she's (Shantotto) hard of hearing because of her old age. Shantotto then burns Ultimecia by saying "Your mind is infantile, listening to you is quite the trial." Or something like that.
Would definitely love to see you cover other FF11 characters especially villains. I will admit the Zilart Brothers interested me since they were scrapped Chaos reps for FF11 in Dissidia Duodecim
i'm pretty sure the shantotto from the FFXIV/FFXI cross over event was the evil Shantotto from the add-on in FFXI. she makes it clear in the cut scene during the event that she wanted to raze eorzea and remake it "in her own image". after all.
Domina also wouldn't give up because an adventurer destroyed some automaton, her ultimate goal was the Shantottofication of the entirety of Vana'diel, and only relinquished that goal after being personally defeated by the player and being returned home by the real Shantotto. She cared little for reasoning other than seeing herself as a being of unparalleled power and wanting to rule over everything.
Is there any magic-user who is stronger than Shantotto? I can't think of anyone. I guess someone could argue that a Time Mage could challenge Shantotto, but I very much imagine she has a counter for someone who would use Time Magic.
i really wanted to see shantotto in ffxiv because since i done my main blm relic and read her story i was amazed since i haven't played ffxi, i want to see her ffxiv version since the guy in north shroud said she Casted meteor out of boredom....
SageKid15 when you have ultimate power at your fingertips, but don't want to destroy the people of the area, and are as short fused as shantoto, the world is fortunate she hasn't just decided to become a total villain.
Plus, in world of final fantasy, she KOs the party. 2 times in a row. The first was irritating her after one of the heroes walked into a case of aboleths lung spell(breath underwater, but suffocating in air). The second was trying to fight her to stop her from killing another npc. She forgives you both times, but to me it seems she plays the one ally you really don't like, but are scared of fighting since she can kill you. 100 different ways. With ease.
XD it was that laugh that brought me here. youtube works in unique ways always putting things ur not interested in in ur feed while hiding those wonderful gems
He initially called it beastiary but upin being scolded in comments just like this one he did research and found out it is pronounced bestiary, triggering I know but it is the real pronunciation

clawtooth35 That is Shatotto, not Shantotto.
IstaroDintari333 Its clear that it's a nod to Shantotto.

@@JulieLamiaI love them both, they seem to be both
I just don't remember her having the dark nose like tataru and wedge
Shantotto wanted to be a White Mage when she was little, but it was like a phase and she soon grew out of it.
Amazing how deep square goes into their characters back story... So much imagination/work in their craft.
My girl

"O~hohohoho"
Best mage in the series in my opinion...eat your heart out, Vivi.
+Reluctant Warrior Agree. I adore her.

Wow. Shantotto is a bit of a badass.
I can only hope my archmage Skye becomes powerful enough to surpass her. I'd LOVE to take her on in a mage fight!
so what would your mage like on her tombstone
Dear, oh dear, what a imagination.
Just one of her spells is suficient for your annihilation.
@@corymusselman3333 Um, sausage and peppers?
the ff14 event about Shantotto was disapointely short :/
No pun intended.
Now she's in Dissidia Final Fantasy Opera Omnia, blowing stuff up and making "jokes" to Terra and Celes about how it would be fun to experiment on them ... OH-HOHOHOHO!
Did anyone notice that in the Black mage story quests on 14 I think it's the level 62 one they spelled her name Shatotto
Umm...blackmage story inARR. From 30-50 her name is nentioned in every quest.
She made the blackmages soulstone,relic weaoon (hit something with a star because she was bored if i remember right) and is the main reason blackmages became "forbidden" in eorzea several hundred years before.

Oh damn i didnt know this was such an old video.
RUclips reccomended it to me so i assumed it was recent. Weird.
It's great to see Shantotto once again after ffxi. I forgot Shantotto had automation . I would like to see a bestiary could be automation or my favorite job in ffxi pup (job bestiary??)
They didn't put in the laugh for the event!! I enjoyed reading her discussion with the Twin Adder. But the no laugh got me upset :(
I was laughing about how that guard seemed to not give a shit.
Please do one on Prishe! She's got a great backstory!
The thing is Belle Shantoto was just as bad as Domina Shantoto for different reasons. Domina Shantoto wants to rule the world for herself, Belle Shantoto wants to rule the world for it's own good. And both were down with the Shantotofication plan.
Shantotto and her race are pretty cute.
So, do you think she could reappear as a major story element in the future? I'd like to think so.
There is a fate with her in it right now.
itsPriest I'm aware, and in it she mentions that should things get worse in Eorzea she'll return to help.
Either it's a meaningless bit of text or it's hinting at her becoming a major story element at some point.
Ahh. I get you now. Yea, that would be cool.
Her name does pop up in the BLM quests and relic quest.
@@CuppaGiblack mage quests in storm blood, FF14
She's a worshipped character there

she actually had some jokes about the rhyming bit, so funny^^
Maybe she was one of Shantotto's creations 😵 *gets shot*
Hype for collab with gbf
Never touched with 11, guess i'll gobble any lore i can touch for now

i've heard her laugh and it makes me want to find the nearest exit and quickest airship out of the country.
I doubt you're coming back to this video or series, but would you ever think of reviving the Bestiary?
i'm pretty sure the shantotto from the FFXIV/FFXI cross over event was the evil Shantotto from the add-on in FFXI. she makes it clear in the cut scene during the event that she wanted to raze eorzea and remake it "in her own image". after all.

YAY thank you for this MrHappy. One of my fav FF characters.

when it comes to magic she is the top of the cream in ff

She's totally Lolorito's ancestor 😂
I want to marry Shantotto.
Me and you both

Pretty sad that most ffxiv players don't know shantotto.
She is a true nightmare
Please make a Cid bestiary. I have not played a Final Fantasy without seeing a Cid
HOHOHOHOHOHO!
I
How does one literally mispronounce BEASTiary? I mean, it's like hearing that one kid on Twitch who kept calling a dragon a DRAGE-ON.
He initially called it beastiary but upin being scolded in comments just like this one he did research and found out it is pronounced bestiary, triggering I know but it is the real pronunciation
Imagine shantotto meeting sho minaminoto
grr... shantoto..
I never cared for Shantotto. I can see why people like her though.
But is she stronger then Donald Duck?
yes
Hell yes, like don't is good and all, but dear lord she is a force to be reckoned with, is she strong enough to take on the queen beast
shantotto isn't a beast. at this point it should really be called final fantasy register.
first
she cute
