The biggest takeaway from this? Grinding Gear can now Grind For Their Gear.
You must have been waiting ages to make that joke :)
💜
@@krelian4219 Well he was grinding his gear for that moment.
You know what grinds my gears??
Grinding for gear….😂😂😂
well.... except its already the end of the expansion sadly and they could just settle for the craft ones instead.
It was nice to see Jesse and JoCat as the support team.
Seriously with everything JoCat has been having to deal with, it's good to see him having fun in the game.
How fitting that it was optional dialogue that made Kyle cry.
Ultima Thule houses my favorite moment in all of Endwalker. During launch week me and a friend made it to the last quest in the flower field, “Endwalker.” We also got a notification that emergency maintenance would start in 20 mins. We had no chance of finishing the quest.
So instead, we sat down in the flowers, and turned our shout chat back on. We’d turned them off to avoid spoilers, and figured this was the place to turn it back on.
Shout chat was FILLED with people crying out, calling for each other, comforting each other, and helping one another through this emotional experience. One by one people sat with us in the flowers, and we talked about the expansion. We stayed there until the server kicked us out.
By far my favorite moment in this game. It felt real good to sit in those flowers again all day yesterday.
What a lovely story. Thank you for sharing!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who got choked up reading Alisae's line there. One of the most beautiful lines in the zone, in my opinion.

thanks
Thank you!
You’re a hero.
Thank you!❤
I'd like to take a moment to flashback to the end of base Stormblood, where Zenos invites you to "while away the hours as confidant and friend, if you would accept me?" and the most commonly chosen player response being "I deny you."
To contrast it now with that final response, "THAT, I can't deny" and his response "Acceptance at last!"
I think that matters.
I chose to join BestFriendo
I denied him then, I denied him now.
fu*k that, i choose option 3, i wanted him gone for good.
shout out to katie and kristen for supporting the boys 24/7 💪
Lurker here. I love this game dearly and don’t have any friends who play it. It has been amazing watching you two experience this game and talk about each major plot beat. Some of your theories have been outlandish but interesting while others have made me reconsider my understanding of the story.Thank you and hope we can continue this journey together.
Ditto. I had a friend who was playing it for a while then stopped. So, it's nice to see others experiencing it and sharing their thoughts.
When Garrett read:
"The sorrow of a thousand thousand worlds weighs heavy. And yet you can walk on..."
Wasn't sure if this was gonna fit into a super and didnt wanna put it into discord so gonna throw it here.
There was some behind the scenes stuff YoshiP talked about in a FFXIV radio he did with Krile's and Thancred's JP VAs.
In it he mentioned two things which were amusing regarding Emet's speech which I think both of you may appreciate
1) One of the reasons they delayed EW's release was because they wanted to get that final speech from Emet just *perfect*. 2) All the stuff Emet said wasn't all planned ahead of time, and because you had to see the planet's geography from Mare Lamentorium the map makers and story writers went to YoshiP and said "Yeah just say whatever you want, we'll figure it out later"
And you have an expansion(potential) teaser better than what Metzen did in Blizzcon. (I couldn't help myself)
The great thing is that all of those places do exist. It really ignites the imagination.
Are you sure it was that?
He hid the UI after the second Dungeon boss wich completely hid the text of the dude cheering how he "killed them all" then realized what he just did
I remember finding your guys' podcast while I was doing fates in Ultima Thule. I commented on the "We're an FFXIV Channel Now" video and have been watching ever since. It's amazing how playing this game has a way of changing people for the better. Congratulations on all your accomplishments these past 2 years. You've made this community a better place.
I love how, even when dead, Elidibus still somehow manages to get a post-credits scene
Just a notice that at this point in the story it wasn't known yet who that character is so this is a spoiler
@@sinomwith the same voice actor? Everyone caught it at the moment.
@@sinom It's literally not you're supposed to immediately recognize him.
@@brunohenriqueazevedoborges5490Considering how many people thought it was Venats voice, after you kill Zodiark, and not realizing it was a new voice until first meeting Meteion I would not make assumptions about people's ability to recognize this stuff.
@@PlusOne2Crit That one is deliberately meant as a bait & switch though.
Players were a little sussy of Venat/Hydaelyn because of the devs in Shadowbringers at that point, and once you kill Zodiark you see the planet destroyed and a female voice saying "...at last..."
It's 100% designed to make you think Hydaelyn is celebrating Zodiark's death for some reason.
Compared to the Raid teaser at the end here, where Elidibus has the most distinctive voice-actor in FFXIV. Plus the white robes.
You know, i think one of the reasons this format worked so well, is because this is two friends doing a beautiful story about friendship, be it the actual story or the moments with actual people.
Ff14 is a game i absolutely loved, but i would have a hard time doing it again. That reccurent rendez vous with the two pals doing it all over a long period was such a relaxing experience. I especially like that both of you enjoyed some very different things, Kyle loving the magic and the lore, while Garett is over there hyped about villains.
The way i say it it seems like the end even though it is not, but i would say its the end of the meal. What follows is the same restaurant, but another meal. It may be as good or worse than the one you just finished, but nothing can take away the fact that you have had that full course experience, from ARR to endwalker. Many other stories told in this media and others would kill to finish on such a high note.
So i say, here is to you, Grinding Gear, Garett, Kyle, all those who helped in some way for this journey !
There's something so iconic about Ra La being, essentially, the last primal we face in the game.
Born from the nihilist apathy of the people of Nibiru, this twisted reflection is what could have eventually become of the Ancients.
I like that at some point the game all but says “this is what becomes of the Ancient’s paradise if life went on as unbothered as it was. It would basically reach the same issue but in a deep societal issue rather than an unknown crisis”. And I find that beautiful that in the end the answer was actually given to them, in the form of another even-more-peaceful society. It really is the rejection of their supposed paradise that basically presume only Amaroutines got to have the fun life of creating whatever.
i dont usually comment but thank you both, for everything. for the ups, the downs, the wrong theories, and the memes. watching you both this past year and a half has been an incredible journey in its own right, and i cant wait to see you both step into patch content and beyond. the game's story may have concluded, but your stories are just getting started.
My bestfriend & I watched your finale together from opposite ends of the world (me in the Philippines, her in Canada) & I just wanna say - thank you so SO much for keeping us connected. I've been following y'all since you stepped into Stormblood, and I've wrangled her into this little community when you got to Shadowbringers. We try to catch your lives together & YOUR FRIENDSHIP KEPT OUR FRIENDSHIP STRONG.
You deserve all the success you have. You are wonderful, genuine, and really just awesome all around. Thank you for the experience, GG.
Close in the Distance as a song means so much to me. I am so glad you made it here and got to listen to the song revealing itself throughout the zone. The song never fails to make me cry. "Walk on, never look back. Through you we live." It gets to me every time. I've loved watching you go through Endwalker and I'm so excited for you to go through the patches and the raids.
It's funny how different the experinces with that song are. For me Close in the Distance absolutly ruined the last zone, because I absolutly hate that song. xD
The quiver in her eyes at 4:43:43 always gets me.
Meteion is ultimately just a scared, lost little girl sent out into space with no support system.
"We'll travel the lands, cross the seas, and take to the skies upon the eternal wind -- and it will be marvelous!" It was and it is. Our infuriatingly adorable lab-engineered cat boy is adorable and correct.
Cheers to your journey and future success! (Might want to add a mini-split to the studio to keep the temperature under control as you head into FL summer.)
Jonathan Bailey also held it as an example of how great XIV's dialogue is.
That line hits even harder knowing that the song playing is titled "Eternal Wind".
The most replayed section is the EXACT place I started crying, too. Wish ya'll the best, and remember to continue walking, for your journey continues for as long as you have strength to walk, and a desire to see more of the vibrant world around you.
The Endsinger music is a medley of the Boss BGM's of all the previous expansion...
And then your own BGM; The Makers Ruin, remixed.
Best part about the morning after the final 6.0 stream? Probably gonna be the Jesse Cox podcast in a couple hours.
Second best part? Being able to go back and re-watch my favorite bits from yesterday.
Man what a great stream that was. The cheers, the tears, all the love and joy. This game and the people who play it are such a gift.
Hello boys,
I have been a silent viewer of your streams since day 1, when you were still in Heavensward. I remember your first stream popping up in my recommended, and felt an instant kinship to you both, as I’m a fellow Oregonian-turned-Floridian like Kyle and a fellow diehard Arthas fanboy like Garrett 😂
It’s been incredible watching you grow with the game and fall more and more in love with it. It’s been quite a journey over the last few years and I’ve enjoyed every moment of it. I’ve had a great time watching your reactions to major story beats and listening to your analyses and thoughts, watching you level different jobs and try out different roles, watching you conquer extreme trials (every night that you guys do an EX trial stream, my husband and I put the stream up on our tv and make popcorn and have a blast). Since the beginning, you two have come so far, both in-game and with regard to building a strong, kind, passionate community. I’m truly impressed with all you’ve accomplished and know that you will only continue to do great things in the future!
Congratulations on finishing the main story of Endwalker. It’s a big deal and I hope you loved every moment. I look forward to what’s next for you both (savage raids? 👀👀), especially as we come up on Dawntrail’s release.
You two are so utterly drama-free, reasonable, funny, kind, engaging and passionate creators and truly a joy to have in the XIV community. Thank you for existing in this space; the fandom is better because it has you (and your entire community) in it. Keep on kicking ass and making incredible content 💜
You two are the definition of what best friends are. Thank you for the journey so far.
The 10% left of your audience was incredible to see last night!
How dare you. I was drinking coffee when I read this and almost shot it out my nose.
@@Amovetv Ouch! That sounds like it would hurt.
I was considering saying this, but I should have known Pothi would have it covered.
watching the vod made me tear up a few times. i did the walk on release - covid in full swing, just out of a long term relationship of 4y, living alone for the first time in 10y - it crushed me, but man, did it feel good and cathartic. stand tall my friends, our journey will never end.
I've been on this journey legit since that video of Garrett saying he wont play FF14 and here I am crying watching the VOD as I fell asleep during the dungeon (it was like 4am in germany) what a beautiful journey and I cannot wait for Dawntrail
During my D&D session last night, a player went to use the restroom and I peaked in at the stream. You guys were at The Walk, and I paused the session to watch. Love see you guys here!
Forge on, for your journey continues!
I just want to add that I don't watch many streamers past a couple videos because they're often exaggerating their reactions for engagement and their eyes darting constantly to their chat, but after I stumbled upon you two maybe two years ago I've gone back and watched every video from the past 4 years and then some. You have been consistently thoughtful, sincere, engaging, and relatable just by being yourselves. Thank you for letting us be emotional vampires and joining you on your remarkable journey.
You know, sometimes i lament that time zones, and RL conspire to make sure i never get to watch live. But these marathon streams give me the unique opportunity to fall asleep listening to you, and wake up the same way. That's actually kinda' neat.
Now i look forward to spend my evening watching about 8.5 hours of "the middle bit".
Thank you guys. Thank you for giving this game a chance and understanding why many players hold it in such high regard. To many more years to come!
I first watched you guys because I just enjoy watching reaction videos to the Hydaelyn Walk as you guys put it. This series has been great to binge because its equal parts retrospective and guessing for the next few levels worth of stories. Really encapsulating what so much of us were feeling in the moment. And now... here we are.
Welcome to the End, Warriors of Light. No... Adventurers.
I remember when playing 6.0 and watching your videos and thinking "Man, if only you guys knew what is to come."
I was looking forward to seeing your journey, and here, at journey's end, I find myself thinking that the journey was certainly worth it.
Onwards to new adventures! Our journey will never end!
Great stream. That was crazy. I think this is the fist time I've ever seen a time where there were so many people that it didn't load you correctly into the field of flowers. It's been a great 2+ years and hopefully there are many more yet to come. You guys deserve all the fans and acclaim you get. You are my favorite streamers.
Actually clutched my heart reading this. Thanks Eric.
Fun fact I borrowed my FC leader’s earbuds to listen to this in our local game store.
I totally didn’t nearly cry several times over the course of the few hours I was there.
Thanks for everything guys, I look forward to what comes next.
You guys got me through every week the first year and a half when I was working nights. You turned what would have been nothing work nights into moments to remember. Shinyru Extreme sticks out as one I think back to often.
Thank you guys for sharing your journey, it's reinforced my love for this game so much.
I am so incredibly excited for the stuff you guys have ahead of you heading into Dawntrail.
I have rarely ever commented on a RUclips video but after having watched both Kyle and Garretts journey through ffxiv in the background by watching your vods and after enjoying part 2 of your endwalker journey I had to comment you both have been an amazing addition to the ffxiv community and I hope your continued journey in both video game and real life is only meet with enjoyment and joy. U have done it u walked to the end. I hope u enjoy dawn trail and all the best to the both of u and your loved ones. Thank you for your amazing content from an enjoying viewer over in Ireland.
Little late to the party as I was extremely busy with work.
Excited to watch the walk to the end. Quiet lurker in the gear box community, but happy to be here. Thank you for putting yourselves out there and letting us experience the MSQ with you both.
I watched the whole thing live that I went to bed at 6am because of it. lmao I’m so happy I was able to stay up late to watch you guys. Much love.
Freaking dedication!
I'm sure someone will have told you this before you guys have a chance to read this, but Close in the Distance has an extra layer of meaning. It references each expansion of the game in the lyrics. "Rises, on a world reborn from the ashes" is ARR. "'Neath the heavens" is Heavensward. "To sunset, blood red skies tranquil after the storm" is Stormblood. "Blessed shadow" is Shadowbringers.
This song never ceases to take my breath away.
I stayed up to watch until 4:30am and it was worth every moment! Thank you both so much for sharing your journey with us - it’s been a joy and a privilege. Can’t wait to see where things go from here! Hugs to you both - you’ve made something truly special and you’ll have an audience around for a long time to come. ❤
Take care, all you lovely people from the stream and reading this right now ... May you ever walk in the Light of the Crystal.
What a god damn journey indeed. While I couldn’t be present as it was live, it’s clear to see that the feels of the walk up to The Dead Ends, Endsinger, and Zenos’s solo duty have worked their magick once again. Of course, the story is far from over - Dawntrail being only a fair three months away and Kyle and Garrett having now the myths of the realm likely next on their plate. But for the time being, it’s been a marvelous adventure.
Long time lurker here. I just wanted to thank you for sharing this journey with us! I've been playing this game for 10 years and it has been a pleasure to relive this amazing story through your playthrough but most of all it has been a joy to witness you on your own path, your growth not only as content creators but as just... friends!
You have been an incredible addition to the FFXIV community (and youtube in general) and we're lucky to have found you! 🧡
Even though this is the end of a chapter, there's many more to come - I loved the 6.x MSQ patches and obviously the awesome 8-man raid - and I hope you enjoy it all!
Forge ahead! May our journey never end. ❤🎉
Forgot how majestic Garret's 2021 coiffure was. Still a much bigger fan of the natural long locks, but the frosted-tip high-top he had going on was something else. So glad to have been along for this ride and am looking forward to all your other adventures, in XIV and whatever other games you choose to play. Congrats on Endwalking!!
I could never join you guys and everyone else in-game due to being in different regions but MA, I'M FINALLY IN A GRINDING GEAR VIDEO (in the credits at 09:04:12) 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Congrats on finishing Endwalker! 😊
"Finally, I worked hard for that smile!" absolutely sent me 😂
Another "I don't usually comment but" lurker comment: I don't think I enjoyed EW as much as I might normally have on release, purely because I was in kind of a bad headspace at the time. Watching this duo go through it and have so much fun was weirdly cathartic. Thanks for that, and I look forward to seeing what you get up to next.
Last night was one of the few streams I was able to watch complete, and I’m so glad it was also the end of the story. The night felt really special with all the people who joined to accompany you both on your “endwalk”.
Thank you for sharing your play through and hoping the best is yet to come ❤
Thank you guys for a memorable journey. Good luck going forward!
This was the first and probably only stream I caught live and it was worth it!
So glad to see you guys finish this! It's a real celebration of the game. It's such a joy to experience any piece of media where the creators are clearly just as excited as the audience. And how often do we get big budget games like this that tackle such heavy political and existential issues? I absolutely love it, such a treat
This was so good. 9 hours, crazy, and time well-spent.
I waited at the flower field while watching the stream and ended up logging out so they could get into the area; completely worth it. 😂 I've been following y'all since Heavensward and watching you guys get here has been so surreal. Thank you for all the wonderful memories and many more to come, Kyle and Garrett. ❤
Pretty much same to all of that. Ended up heading back to Siren afterwards.
@@ericbright1742 At least they didn't have to wait long to load in after the initial confusion! Our 'sacrifice' was worth it, lol :)
am I watching this again despite watching it live? yep.
It's been a wonderful journey and I'm so excited for the future. I'll always remember two years ago when I was working an archival job in a dark room alone, I just happened to see the channel and thought it might be nice to help pass the many quiet work hours. I never would've predicted where things would end up! I'd wish you both a good rest but between patch content, side content, and child #3 on the way for Kyle, I think it's probably better to just wish you both good luck in the coming weeks! Here's to seeing you boys in Dawntrail
Yet stand tall my friend
Our journey will never end!
The G'raha bit made me cry into the fish I was eating while watching the vod
Congratulations on walking until the end, gentlemen! It was a harsh road, but a well worth it one. The next adventure awaits but for now, enjoy what you've experienced....and rejoice in the song of hope.
7:34:25 it has much more fitting music if you just let the credits play.
I've been watching your guys off and on since you started playing FFXIV. After I recognized Garret from when I listened to The Instance way back in highschool. I'm glad you enjoyed the story and community so much, and that you're thriving.
Was there for the full stream minus the last 30min since I needed to get sleep for work, but it was a great time. Been watching since your videos back in ARR so its been crazy watching you finally hit the end. To think you've wrapped up 10 years of story telling and now you are getting ever closer to the "Dawntrail waiting room" lol. Can't wait for the upcoming patch content streams and future Dawntrail streams.
Never have I seen so many people show up in the Elpis flower field. That was absolutely nuts. You guys deserve it
That compilation video at the end just beautiful 🥹❤️. Love you guys!❤
It was an honor to witness your journey through FFXIV from before you started streaming. Thank you for years of incredible entertainment and feels ❤. Can’t wait to see what you do in the future! Cheers!🎉
It's been an amazing last few years. I look forward to so many more enjoying your content. Thank you both for providing entertainment, and for inspiring me to have a closer relationship with my own best friend.
Hug your friend for us!
I've been lurking since the end of Stormblood, and I have to say that this has been a journey and a half. This channel has been a ton of fun, and I'm very excited for all that is to come. Now onwards to Dawntrail :D
3:32:45 Here, the tears began to truly fall for the boys.
Gentlemen, congrats on completing the MSQ. Make sure you do both EndWalker raid series. They both add a lot to fleshing out the main story.
They just confirmed it, Limit break is DYNAMYS!
I mean, wasn't it already hinted in Thavnair? Even the dancer questline iirc there some hints.
Is it though? In a domain where Dynamis is the only meaningful power where aether alone wouldn’t be enough? I don’t deny it was by the power of Dynamis it enacted phenomena, and in an LB, you have a lot of emotion to push past your limits, but that it was just the one trial in the one specific place. If it were on Etheirys, then I’d believe it no question. Also consider Zodiark held Dynamis at bay for over 12 millennia. So I’m not easily convinced. Not without more proof at least.
@@acgearsandarms1343 Zodiark didn't hold back Dynamis per se, he just made it harder for Meteion to affect the star from outside. Dynamis itself is clearly present in the world and capable of affecting phenomena, as evidenced by the Elpis flower in the present day.
@@kaly8329 Yeah, it was, but they didn't spell it out clearly. They do mention say, paraphrased "Have you ever felt like you suddenly surpassed your limits in a tough fight", and the idea is that they are definitely referencing doing Limit Breaks during fights, but without being clear, there are many ohter interpretations. Like how the WoL walks during shadowbringers with all the light inside of him and he still fights. During this fight, however, it is VERY clear. Meteon uses the big explosion, Tank WoL uses LB, meteon exclaims "Dynamys???!!!???".
@@acgearsandarms1343 You seem to be confused, Zodiark didn't hold back Dynamis, It just prevented the massive flow of it coming from Meteon to affect Etherys. Dynamys is already on etherys, as it surrounds everything, that energy just exists just like Aether does. They are even experimenting and discussing it already in Thavnair, calling it Akasha. They tell the WoL, "have you ever felt like you suddenly surpass your own limits during fights? That is akasha." They were referring to Limit Breaks, but they weren't REALLY spelling it out, leaving room to interpretation. With Meteon declaring "Dynamyss???" after the tank WoL uses their LB, they are doing their best to spell it out.
In the Endsinger fight, I love the detail of her closing her eyes to the light, so all she can do is party-wides and trying to keep the light away from her. Such a neat little detail that took me a few times seeing the fight to notice.
I tend to only watch your video/podcast, or only skim the VODs, but tonight, I couldnt help but stay in stream for a while as you did the Dead End with Jocat and Jesse, as you wnet through the Endsinger, the duel with Zenos, as you did the whole epilogue. I probably should have been sleeping. But I stayed here, this was oh so worth it. To see the community come together, breaking the server even.
I can’t wait to see y’all play the patch contents. The endwalker raids both normal and alliance are the coolest things I’ve seen in an MMO
Truly a life-changing experience, this game. And many, many more to come.
I still can’t believe how far you guys have come and I only see it going up for you. Been around since ITN during the Heroes of the Storm beta days, ITN was the second podcast I ever listened to. Looking forward to watching you guys continue to kick ass.
Congratulations on finishing Endwalker! Thank you for all the laughs along the journey.
GG. Thank you for the memories of a long long journey. Time for a new adventure! The fact that we have actually managed to overload the server was just PERFECT.
Also Shiryu ex predicted 6.0
Thanks for the stream, and thanks for sharing your journey as well!
See you in Dawntrail!
I think I found you guys around when your most recent video was the 5.5 patch video so I haven’t been around as long as some people but all the same it’s been quite an enjoyable ride, I hadn’t finished 6.0 long before finding you but I loved re-experiencing the story through all your videos and enjoying the theorising and the little amv/gmv sequences you do for your videos as well as just you two having an enjoyable personality. So thanks for this journey guys I can’t wait to see you both go through the rest of 14 and everything beyond
It's incredible how inspiring Endwalker is. I still remember the launch week and the rollercoaster of emotions I went through. See you in Dawntrail!
The same offset at the end of the final fight before the credits roll happened with me and my GF. I went through the story as Sage and she went through as summoner so she got to sit there watching like OWO as I caught up
I am loving the recap of your journey in the end guys. Thank you. For a beautiful time. Cheers
Okay but why did I tear up when you hit us with the Patreon credits at the end
I've watched a fair few people play through this game since I did it myself but you guys have been one of the more enjoyable ones and I think that's at least partly due to how Garrett came into the game in such similar circumstances to me. That being "I'm a Shadowlands refugee looking for something else to play and my friend is telling me about this FFXIV game and I haven't played many FF games in the past but I'll give it a shot anyway". I never quite got to watch a stream live but it's been great tagging along retroactively and I can't wait to see what you guys make of the patch content. Maybe if they ever let EU players travel to US realms I'll come visit with one of my finest persimmons for each of you.
Also, "Condemned to Paradise" sounds like an AMAZING band name. Just saying.
Make sure you check out the version of Close in the Distance sung by the FFXIV community. You may want to film your reaction. :)
That moment where Ardbert rejoins with you and Garrett says “oh, fuck yeah” is probably my favorite moment in the whole playthrough.
Congrats on finishing 6.0! 🎉 I can't wait for you guys to see the patch content and the raids. You're in for a treat. Also, don't worry about finishing all of that before Dawntrail. It'll be there when you're ready. Last, I just wanted to highlight the most amusing moment in the stream. 😁 5:51:22
This part of the story is even better experiencing it again together with you guys.
Thank you for taking your time and thank you for sharing!
Amazing journey
Zenos after finally learning consent and just ASKING: FINALLY! WARRIOR OF LIGHT (EXTREME)!
I also like the teleporter sounded like a heart monitor flatlining. You were there until his very last moment.
He might be an ass but he's surprisingly well written. People fawn over Emet. And yeah they're all written just as good! But Zenos knows what he is, knows what he wants, you know it all. I'd call him the best written 1 dimensional character I've seen. Granted he did get a liiiittle bit of growth. Though mainly just finally learning to JUST. ASK.
Also I don't think a single other character believed in us more. To see us against the embodiment of despair and go "...why isn't it dead yet?" In a genuinely confused manner.
Sad I missed the stream having caught the previous, but I took my time to enjoy every bit of this stream (rather than skip ahead while it was live) and take it in, it's so loaded and I think your journey been one of my favorite after finding you mid-Shadowbringers to the point I'd kinda wanna go back further and rewatch your start in segments. The way you take your time and drink it in, the duo dynamic, adds so much than mere reaction content. I really really look forward for the rest you got left and for you guys to catch up with Dawntrails!
I wanna throw in that moment Garrett broke down and hearing about the chihuahua, I couldn't help do the same, cause it was around the same year I lost 2 old chihuahua's in the family when Endwalker came out and I did this story journey. Not to appear worse losing 2 bundles of joy than 1, as no matter how many or which pet/person/loved one you lose, the pain never stacks, it just rolls over differently and even if you learn to manage it it's still hard. Just felt I really connected in that moment so much and felt that need for a Kyle hug, luckily it's been time enough now there's new family members to warm the heart!
On a more fun note, I find it hilarious it's taken me until the very end when Thancred said the mention of the expectation of an astrologian with him when requesting his aid, that it's literally just Garrett and Kyle those two, and not just by jobs, Garrett sure has a little bit of Thancred's attitude and Kyle got that Urianger feel sometime! Hehe
Anyway, so happy to stumble on you guys and even if I'm more a lurker than someone able to catch the streams, be on the spot, donate and participate in the community, I still feel like I'm deeply part of it and the two of you got that bro feel of "I'd totes have fun hanging out with some pizza and just talking about games, how the stories make me feel, philosophy behind them, art directions, etc", maybe one day I'll manage to dip in deeper into the community with what I'm sure is many people having the same sentimental feeling watching you guys!
I am not crying, Garrett is not crying, you are crying.
Man, what a journey it has been! I remember finding you guys playing Heavensward when looking for FFXIV videos. You quickly became some of my favorite content creators. To see you guys get better and better at what you do, and collaborate with my other favorite content creators has been such a wild ride. No matter what you plan on doing next, I can't wait to see it! Thanks for all you do!
At launch G'raha's moment hit many so strong that others random ppl who already went through it just came back to the crystal climb section and silently hugged and walked with others currently going through it.
THAT was my favorite community moment in EW.
When you can feel the line "Through you we live."
Came back to rewatch your video at the end and oh my gosh. I can't believe it's been over two years!!! It feels awesome to have been along for y'alls journey and I cannot wait to see where you guys go from here! Congratulations on Endwalking!
This is my first time seeing you guys and now I’m curious to go back and watch all your previous videos from the beginning!
Many more adventures await! I'm so glad I started watching you two stream from heavensward onwards!! & with that, onwards to the 6.x patches and Dawntrail :D
It's been a pleasure to walk this journey, again, with the two of you! Thanks for the great commentary and fantastic vibes, always
2:40:00 -- yeah, I did read the bottom as 'you're here as my cherished companion' and clicked it instantly. It was a mistake. You are completely right to see it as the trap it is. I still feel bad and wish I could apologize to him.
Congratulations on finishing Endwalker!
See you next time, in the patch content! Enjoy the story yet to come and rest well until then!
