endwalker had so much great music it's insane
Adventure plates and portraits are my favorite additions to Endwalker.
Portraits are great but only when they don't break though. That's something I hope they fix in Dawntrail :)
midcore? Sounds like a metal genre
Im srry i think your letting your love for bunny boys cloud your judgement jothing about the bunny boys seems badass... the orignal design they had for them was way better and they looked like warriors not emo bunny boys..
I met the love of my life playing FFXIV. I had just told myself a few weeks prior that I was done with dating. If it hadn't worked out with anyone by age thirty-two, it wasn't going to. So I was resolved to find satisfaction playing Final Fantasy XIV until it died or I did. Then boom, there was this girl new to the Discord group and we're getting married three years later. My journey has absolutely been worth it.
Congratulations on finding love!!
@@Naoto-kun1085 Thank you!
My journey’s been awesome. I’ve not regretted making FFXIV my primary mmo for a second - it’s home for me now and I love it. Really nice to see a positive summary of the things you liked :) I’m just so relieved they gave the 10 year saga a fitting end.
Honestly I find pandaemonium SO GOOD : boss designs, MUSIC!!!... (Basically the entire 6.0-6.5 music work is INSANE and some of the best in all gaming, truly)
Pandemonium is pretty much a perfect raid series in my book!
Savage was pretty good, despite DPS checks in 2nd tier
@@ArchieGamez Personally I think the tight dps checks were a good thing, more challenge for week 1 raiders!
@@Naoto-kun1085 Athena just sucks. Her whole fight was flat out boring.
I still cant believe EW lasted 31 months.
One of my favorite soundtracks from Endwalker is definitely Old Sharlayan Night Theme "The Nautilus Knoweth." I used to just walk around the entire city and listened to the music until it turned to daytime.
The Nautilus Knoweth, to me, is among the best OST of the entire game.
I loved the Omicrons and Lopporit tribe stories. Especially Omicrons felt like an after credits epilogue, that tied up and gave more context to some parts from the 6.0 story.
That story was simply amazing!!
As someone stuck on a very very low end laptop, it takes A LOT for an online game to keep me around. and Endwalker has me around 5000 hours XD im trying to upgrade before dawnTrail, here's hoping
I upgraded mine recently, and I just want to mention to keep in mind that Windows 10 is going to be discontinued in October, 2025 from Microsoft. So if you do upgrade, I do recommend you changing to Windows 11 because you're going to have to change within a year or so.
Good luck!!
I am holding out as long as possible due to issues with windows 11
the main story, it's just so beautiful
Endwalker really meant a lot to me, it'll always be special to me, between the themes, the characters, and the experiences with people!
I'm a solo casual player so Endwalker was really good for me. I happened to really enjoy the Patch MSQ as well. My highlight is definitely the Soundtrack though. So many bangers. I also think Pandaemonium and Myths of the Realm are my favourite Raids and Alliance Raids in the game.
I also adored patch MSQ! I loved Zero so much! Both of the raid series had me obsessed as well!!
I'm happy we have Emet-Selch's beautiful bastard Ancient face from EW
My journey has been incredible! I didn’t care for story my first time around and I skipped it, but Shadowbringers HOOKED me. So, when I decided I wanted to make a second character, I’d sit through story (the important parts at least) and enjoyed the game all over again.
My journey thru EW was indeed good.
The Reaper job alone was well worth the trip.
My favorite part of EW was Zenos and the conclusion to his story in the MSQ. The fight with him was the highlight.
"If my motives met with your approval, would you no longer resent the outcome. If so, then perhaps a beast's skin would suit you better."
A poignant jab at all us Emet fans
Vritra is my favorite new character.
Not really a jab at all imo. Zenos is insane and misguided in his pursuit for a battle with us, and in Endwalker he finally understands that there are other ways of getting what he wants other than just picking the most downright evil option. He for once kinda just thought about the situation he’s in and how he could get us into doing what he wants us to do in a way that we wouldn’t object, considering that it is something he is demanding from us after all.
factss, Zenos was so sick and his arc was absolutely perfect
@@TerrasWorld Zenos was not insane, he was depraved and selfish, but not crazy. His point stands. In that speech, he also said "what petty vicissitudes there are to your existence must be gleaned by you and you alone."
Look at WoL's face when Zenos says this. They are in shock, because
Zenos was the one person with the ANSWER that might have staved of Hermes' depression. And for that 10 year long theme to end with Zenos, who is our reflection MANY waysl, is brilliant.
That fight was great. I loved the bit toward the end where the two of you are just both running on empty and just resort to slugging it out like a bar brawl. That was such a badass moment.
@@SlyScyther you don’t have to be sane to make good points you know, lol. At the end of the day he killed his own father and brought his entire nation to ruin so he could have a bit of sport, he is most definitely insane. I see where you’re coming from to an extent though
She took the "Zepla is toxic" meme seriously.
I think part of the complaints with Endwalker had to do with it being the first time that a huge segment of the player base ended up playing the end game content on cycle. When the game rarely obsoletes content (sorry, battlecraft leves and guildhests), and a character is catching up to current content, there’s a ton of content to do should you wish. But after catching up, you realize that the game is built to be enjoyed and not rushed through. Because you rush through stuff, and then you run out of new stuff to do, and get bored. You don’t need to clear savage raids on release day, they’ll stick around. Honestly, the main issue with Endwalker was the Manderville weapons. Gotta have more to the weapons than simply collecting 6000 tomestones per weapon.
My favorite part of Endwalker was seeing that the Scions got me fast food. If the Last Stand in Old Sharlayan set up shop in San Antonio, you can damn well bet I'll gain 100 pounds and screw my diet. XD
Over EW I have slowly transitioned from a bunny GIRL main to a bunny BOY main. They're just... so, SO good.
Adventurer Plates. This was the best feature of Endwalker by far.
Except the part in which the portrait resets when you change armor. Instead of the DMV pose. It should store the pose and take it again with the armor you have at the moment.
@@RicardoSantos-oz3uj I don’t disagree, but that’s portaits, not adventurer plates 🤓
I think they need to change the varient dungeons to a common but unique currency and just keep adding stuff to grind. They wouldn't be as boring because you can go different paths to refresh them. Run solo, or with a group. I think they left a lot on the table with those.
Maybe later down the line maybe add a roulette system for these variant dungeons to help people who want to play the older stuff.
The journey has been great with FFXIV. Just remembering how the game started from beta and the many things that has happened over the years till the conclusion of Endwalker has made me cry with joy. Yoshida-san and crew deserve lots of love praise for what they made. I honestly can't wait to see what's in store for this next adventure! -hefts axe- Cause I'm ready to slay more gods!! ^_^
Yes, i am happy about my adventure and the journey, and ill go forward enjoying it
Loved P8S savage when it was part of the current raid tier - White Stone Black kicking in when I reached the 2nd part of that fight was just too sweet. Also, loved hearing ‘Scream’ when the 2nd savage raid tier was relevant. The 2nd part of the Eighth Circle savage just hit a lil harder for me ( ‘Resident Evil’ looking boss, Devil May Cry music blasting in the background, and me and my squad with Final Fantasy movesets).
Ishgard Housing - fuck yes. Actually lucked out upgrading from a medium in Goblet to a mansion in Ishgard.
Glad about Eureka Orthos. Rly enjoy deep dungeon coming back. Still trying for my 1st solo clear as Drk. Hopefully before xpac releases.
PvP - I think Endwalker is the most I’ve enjoyed/qued for this mode going by each xpac….the changes they did for the combat in this mode were giant strides in a good direction imo (now just to wait for them to figure out better ways to que for Rival Wings during active PvP que hours)
And ended up liking portraits way more than I thought I would.
Those were the main things I liked for Endwalker.
I think my favourite part of endwalker is the savages. Especially P11S! But sage is literally the best healer I played... it made all other healers feel bad
Started playing when it released on Xbox and just finished Endwalker last week. It was a good expansion but the pacing was my biggest complaint. In the beginning of the expansion, you can feel the pressure of the end of the world. But around halfway/a little after halfway, it slams the brakes until the last handful of quests. After playing through the perfection that is Shadowbringers, I might have been spoiled and expected too much from Endwalker lol.
The story for me was amazing..I've never had a game cause me to cry my eyes out for hours on end like the Endwalker story did. Was it a 10/10? No..there were a few bits that could of been better but overall it was great. I think the new jobs were a huge boon for the game and will continue to be popular for years to come.
A lot of stuff was shit in endwalker, however the raids were great, both savage and ultimate
yes, the main 3 was good while the new stuff was received poorly...this community hates new shit
My journey has been amazing! So happy I’ve made ffxiv my mmo home. Can’t wait for Dawntrail!
Let me guess, now that DT is comming and Zepla is comming back she will stop talking shit about the game and make some content again, that's good.
V&C dungeons really solved the whole "most efficient path to finish quickly" issue the devs talked about with ARR dungeons. I only wish there were more.
I think people were to harsh on them for not having good rewards, they really were extremely well designed and I wouldn't be surprised if they were intended to be the "replacement" for relic raids!
Variant dungeons are my favourite new Endwalker feature! I had so so much fun running through and trying to solve all the puzzles by myself or with friends. I love running through them with new people and seeing what they pick up on, which choices they make first, etc.
Of all the things mentioned here, I agree on everything, except the Myths of the Realm. While it was great in story, gameplay of it was not that interesting. Thaleia was a disappointment, especially the final boss. It was basically a rerun of the mechanics already tackled. I played it few times and didn't really touch it after. Aglaia and Euphrosyne were better, but they don't reach the same level like the NieR- raids, or Stormbloid Alliances.
As for Zepla's question: Yes, my journey has been more than good and more than worthwhile. If Hydaelyn could hear me, she'd be so proud.
Yes, my journey has been good.
Been watching since around 5.3, you convinced me to give the game a try and I made my way thru the entire MSQ in time to play EW alongside the community. I’ll forever be grateful for that because XIV has been my best experience in gaming.
One thing I think people overlook was how GOOD the armour of EW looked compared to prior expansions; even ShB's armour looked dated in comparison. In retrospect, I am almost certain they were making it with the graphics update in mind, both lessening their workload in updating it and also getting to grips with higher levels of detail in design and texturework. The Abyssos sets really stick out in my mind as designs that everyone was wowed by!
The bunny bot mount from Mare Lamentorum tribe quests is such a good mount.
Ultima Thule tribe quests is also my favorite tribe quest series. It has no right being a tribe quest and making me shed tears but it did.
wish they kept it the same size for lala. My lala is at risk of slicing her face open everytime i fly with that mount loll
@@extinctbaryonyx :O had no idea
I would seem I do know now...
I didn't expect to be your background, even as a possible meme!
V&C has been the one of the best content theyve added in a really long time. They to keep expanding it and imo even retro add it to the former expansions so its not locked to EW lvl 90 players
It's really good, I hope they'll give us some more rewards in Dawntrail! Maybe a title for beating Criterion Savage!
Endwalker was a good expansion overall. Yes, Shadowbringer's I'd argue is better, but I enjoyed EndWalker. Love the music from Scream, to Close in the Distance. Beautiful zones. I'd say the good way out weighs the bad in EW.
endwalker was boring
I was a bunny boy for the first half of the xpack but returned to cat man cause I missed my stupid pilot hat
Hope you still bought the gender locked Vday gear because they unlocked it like 2 patches ago.
End Walker really suffered from Covid imo so i give it a large pass b/c all around i enjoyed it. I will always say Storm Blood is my least favorite expansion.
i didnt suffer from covid, it suffered from yoshi p doing too many tasks including over seeing the graphics overhaul to ff16...he thought more was great but the content given was lazy pieces of shite
Endwalker was an Amazing expansion, it just needed more loot 😂
Agreed, more rewards is always better!
8:51 and a marketboard. All that, and I'll never leave my island.
Which one is the best: Shadowbringers or Endwalker?
You're now saying in this video a bunch of things that were good in Endwalker that you previously trash talked on in your video about how bad Endwalker is. Is this just blatant grifting to try and get some audience before Dawntrail? I don't understand. I started playing at the end of Stormblood and I really liked your content, but this content now is just trash honestly, I'm sorry.
exactly, her voice was paid off
Did you listen to both videos at all?
What Zepla thinks is bad:
-relic quest
-pvp REWARDS
-island sanctuary REWARDS
-criterion and variant REWARDS
-MSQ patch story
The addition of some content was good. But the rewards were not good enough to keep people engaged with the content for a long time.
disppointed you didnt mention 1 song in particular...SCREAM but other wise a great set of points, i like seeing positive content :D
they made a mistake of using Scream 3 times in a row in EW Raid. The 1st time is instrumental version but still.
Initially i LOVE the song but after doing the Raid and savage version....I just.... yeah. Its like using your favorite song as an alarm clock Lol....
Camera looking VERY vasoliney
Trust me, Stalice the fairy will be a Rank 10 Persona in Persona 6. Once we slip Atlus videos of Aloalo Island and that boss fight, they'll say "Screw Pixie, Stalice is the GOAT!" I mean seriously, she is wielding a PISTOL. What of that doesn't scream Persona? XD
You forgot one!!
Endwalker also gave us the mispronunciation of the word "FOURTEEN". A certain streamer loves to pronunciate the word "Fourteen" as "Hex viih", something like that. :PPPP ;)
TLDR; I am one of the few people that really enjoy both variant and criterion dungeons!
You prog the first 3 bosses. Your practice run on crit normal for crit savage will get you a mount. Then you do savage which personally feels like completing a semi-ultimate. After that you get the shiny version of your EW tome weapon. I think the first two crit savage should also allow players to earn the exquisite weapons and not just Alo Island Savage. Also you forgot the mention variant mounts, you get Statice (gun fairy) as mount and she carries you around!
Variant dungeon I feel is the opposite of Criterion. It has tons of reward (glam, mounts, minions) but quite short lived because of how easy it can be farmed.
I started playing this year, so to me there is content from all of the expansions to explore. Now that I'm done with the MSQ, there is a pletora of unlock quests, leveling and side content to do. With that said, even though I can imagine how you've been doing all of the content during 10 years and feel like there is nothing exciting to do... I played Ragnarok Online for 10 years and GW2 for 5 years and sometimes I needed a break to do stuff IRL and to play other games; that made my experience coming back so much refreshing and engaging, because I obviously had years of knowledge about the games and their systems, but much had changed during my pauses. I also had new "projects" like building a new character or forging a new equipment when coming back. You sound like you are tired and forcing yourself to say what you "liked", but I didn't really believe in you (not that you are lying, but maybe you really need a break until Dawntrail)...
I had so much fun with 6.0 (except that part with Zenos,...) and was so invested and emotionally taken by the end! So yes my journey has been good.
And even though I didnt like 6.1-6.5 in MSQ, the Alliance Raids made up for it
Surely I havent played as much as I did in Shadowbringers, but my friends and the people I enjoy seeing and meeting all the new people over the years are the reason why I return over and over
And my bun girl ... I love my char
So now, I cant wait for Dawntrail and all the adventures ahead with my friends and all of you people I havent met yet.
*raises her right hand and waves lightly*
Okay but really, I love that duty support has been added to all the dungeons. I’m a father to a 2.5 yo and twin 6 month olds. Life is hectic chaos and I’m way more likely to experience disruptions now than I was pre-kids. I’m really glad I can still play my favorite game on my rare moments of downtime without worrying about disrupting other players’ experiences.
Best beast tribes, best msq together with shb, best ultimate, coolest melee job with rpr, adventurer plates changed fundamentally how people interact with others, best dungeons with criterion, best sidequest additions, finally a deep dungeon again, best hildie quest, best pvp, better trials than shb because they don't force you to watch a cutscene on ex. It's really just the lack of field operation, rewards in crit and ishgard restoration for me.
My journey was fantastic and I can't wait to see more!
Endwalker took some time for character development for the scions which I appreciate a lot. The only one who's still a bit boring is ironically the mascot of the game : Y'shtola. Compared to the other scions, there"@ not that much going. They all go through some character arc, dealing with their own shortcomings, deepening their bond with the WoL and one another. Meanwhile Y'shtola's gives some lore dump, makes a witty remark from time to time and that's about it. I really hope something they do something interesting (or anything really) with her character in Dawntrail, because she really needs it.
I was watching this whilst waiting for my food in a burger place and the server materialises behind me just as *that* Estinien scene appears on screen.
To my server: you're welcome. But also I swear I'm otherwise normal.
Overall I think the glams that came out of Endwalker were probably the best set so far IMO. Not that past glams were bad, I just think there were way more hits than misses. But everything else mentioned in the video I 100% agree with!
Reaper and Sage was pretty good additions too! By far my favourite new job additions too
Overall the expansion was fun despite i stop and comeback each patch
Variant dungeons need a roulette or something to incentivize doing them regularly. I kinda just did them initially and got the quicker rewards, and then forgot about them despite liking them a lot.
The Lopporit reveal made me laugh myself sick, Thancred's expression was just icing on the cake.
My journey has been worth it by a lot! Not only I met friends that got to meet irl and keep for life but also after now 3 years I am moving in with the love of my life that I got to meet in FFXIV! He makes my whole world worth it! Even at the most desperate times FFXIV showed me that there can be always hope in the end
Bit sad you didn't mention any of the good story bits
I liked endwalker so much more than heavensward or stormblood but Shadowbringers is still my favorite one
Honestly I always play female characters being a female however bunny boys are so cute I almost want to play a bunny boy.
I liked Endwalker
Currently grinding Splendorous DoL/H gear before DT and the cliser we get, the more excited I am
only music was good
I've enjoyed my time. Pays of being super casual and I still have a ton of great content to go over.
me,. wondering if Zepla has a screenshot of my Kittygirls husband who is a bunnyboi >o_o
Why Is the Background behind you so Empty ? Are you Moving out ?
я как то вспомнил что в ендволкер и не поиграл потомушто он начался примерно за полтора месяца до войны, и вот мы все еще здесь
I hate Erenville's voice actor.
I hate your voice
you was rewarded a trip to la and a chair, now you are backpedaling? jeeze lol
Did you know that you can access the positive and negative aspects of something and discuss both of them?
I was coming to joke in these comments that now we know that Yoshi-p called out Zepla specifically. But honestly that does not mean that she cannot have a balanced take.
@@Laticia1990 its still called backpeddling...you zepla simp...of course she is "positive" now, watch there is another lull...she is gonna rally the troops again to make another shitty rant because she cant just "you know" take a break like a normal person...this game at the end of the day is a game...not your therapist
I was amazed how quick they made me care about Zero
Haven’t quite finished mine yet lol.
Hmm, new edition style. Nice 😆
Endmalder. The game to mald about
The zooming in on other players lmao I can relate
DSR was great, TOP was....alright. good enough. Those two ultimates alone gave me hundreds of hours of gametime. The MSQ up to 6.0 was absolutly amazing, I will never forget that scene where Alphinaud and Alisaie sit alone in Garlemald mentally devastated and bonding together. The finale finally gave us all the missing puzzle pieces. The savage raidtiers were also S-Tier. There is not a single bad tier in this expansion if we ignore the tree of shame (cool idea, sadly didnt work). P8S music is one of the best music tracks ever made.
I loved DSR, I was a bit disappointed by TOP due to only pulling reference to the last two raids! It seems a bit odd to act like the first 2 tiers didn't matter at all, even an add phase with Exdeath and Kefka would've made me happy! UCoB and TEA felt like much better adaptations of raid series! But hopefully Eden Ultimate will deliver!!
New editor?
I still haven't seen all these problems with Endwalker RUclipsrs have been complaining about.
Why are your eylelashes so blurry
Eyeshadow
Maybe filter, too?
Filtered by Top, Can't do rotation correctly on dancer, obliterated her fanbase, denied access to media tour, ignored by Asmon, yup the grifter is back.
Hater about to be in shambles
she went to the media tour
I liked FFXIV but I got burnt out on it, and I just couldn't get past the very odd delay in combat actions. I tried, I really did. I subbed, and played from ARR to the end of shadowbringers so no one can say I didn't give it enough time. There were a lot of things that I really liked about it, and some things that weren't so great, but ultimately it was the very bizarre delay in actions that I just couldn't get used to, and always loomed over every thought while I was in combat. Some might think that's petty, but I say if I don't enjoy the way the game plays during combat, and combat is an integral part of the game, how is it petty? I would totally be willing to come back if that ever got fixed, but coming from WoW where your actions don't have delays, and other MMOs too, it just felt bad. The only other complaint I have about FFXIV is when I was trying to learn as a new player, with 0 friends playing the game, I would get flamed for making comparisons to wow for the sake of understanding a mechanic or ability. WoW is the game i've spent the most time playing, so when I try to venture out into something new, of course I am going to try and draw comparisons to it as it's the only game I really know well enough to compare ffxiv to. Something as simple as "so the dark knight is like an anti ret paladin?" would immediately get me flamed and multiple people telling me to go back to wow. It's actually surprising, and much more toxic than any, any, ANY other game i've experienced in regards to just simply asking questions to better understand the game. After my first 2 weeks playing, I decided to not talk to anyone in game ever again because I didn't want to keep having that experience, but that also made the game feel extremely lonely and not fun. So I ended up just leaving because the community wasn't willing to welcome me as a new player who had questions simply because I played wow, and the combat felt off to me.
To be honest i used to watch Zeplas content till she was over-criticising the Endwalker and complaining on most of her videos about ff14 so that's when i stopped watching her videos about for a year or so. EW is not the best expansion for me but i dint see as many negative things about the gane as Zepla did, so i couldnt agree much to have a constant moan about the game. Im happy you got over it Zepla.
its just simple to just play something else when the game goes in a lull, shocking...u did what the content asked u to do
Love her content 😂
Endwalker was great. The patches too
Endwalker gave me the greatest gift in that it made me drop the game as my main mmo in favor of Dragon Quest X and got me to finally give EverQuest an actual fair try. So thank you Endwalker.
I had no idea DQX was still running tbh
> fail to complete ultimates
> quit halfway through endwalker
> go ahead and say ew is shit
> make another video to glaze rabbits
pog
I think they put so much effort into wrapping everything up with 6.0 MSQ that they ended up dropping the ball on the rest. It happens when you hyperfocus.
All of the UI changes that came as a result of world first raiders using third party tools.
Loved the video Zep, it was funny and omg loved the editing, awesome content as always
Surprised to see you haven't done a rating your bun-boys video yet
All i personally hope for is that zenos is not dead and he somehow comes back from the end of the universe to clap our cheeks again
I bet you have my Bun boy then considering I have seen your character multiple times in game.
I recognised Littleroot Town and Wii Shop Channel music
Oh man imagine getting beat so hard at an ult and saying the games bad and now before dt what the "bad" expansion did right
Or just maybe it's possible to have a nuanced opinion? I wasn't a huge fan of EW's overall plot and villains. It was very much an expansion low point for me. But I loved the character development done with Zenos and the scions, some of the best character growth of the game. Post-6.0 I've spent most of my time with Crystalline Conflict and have enjoyed that.
Just because someone has criticisms doesn't mean they didn't enjoy other aspects of the game.
…lol, and she probably got media tour footage locked and loaded to put up when the embargo lifts as well
Man you FFXIV players are such losers it's kinda crazy
