This doesn’t even seem like a parody. Alphinaud would joke, Alisaie would go off like that, and Gilgamesh would definitely interrupt a private gathering to save Enkidu.
What makes it a parody is that it takes their personalities and cranks them up a notch from what they are. Alisae is quick tempered for sure, but not to this level.
Well, they somehow get away with that T rating. All with a lot of sexual innuendos, straight-up slavery, and child death. Top it off, that one Postal Moogle Quest......that one....yes, that one.@ShxpxRok
I fully expected this to just be an animated lipsync of their actual VAs in that one cooking show they did together arranged in a funny way but this is also great. The economy of storytelling for the ending was 🤌

@@HaddaCluWe all know what she really did when she got WoL's measurements in HW... and then there the suspicious fact that the Wayfarer set is lacking pants for some unexplained reason.
Can I just say I have huge respect for the fact that you got real VA's? Like, its so common for people to continue to use AI, but I respect your continued effort.
Alisae: I should have known something was wrong when I saw it was GREEN. Alphinaud: The vendor assured me it just got into those fruits adventurers use to dye their chocobo's feathers! Alisae: Well what are we going to do now? Alphinaud: Well, we could as our friends... Alisae: NO. Thancred and Urianger have disappeared off on their own again, Y'shtola has no interest in anything that isn't a book, ancient, and/or related to cross-plane travel in some way, G'raha has been wrapped up in practicing for WEEKS to ask the Warrior of Light to share an eggnog with him, I'm still mad at Eistinien for calling me 'Alphinaud', and the last time we asked the Warrior of Light to bring home a turkey, it was glowing an eldritch blue and was the size of this house! I mean honestly, even if it wasn't likely to Temper us if we ate it, how could we possibly cook it in a reasonable time? Alphinaud: ... We could deep fry?
I can totally see a scene like this going off as canon if the Scions were ever involved in these side quests. The voice actors were amazing as well! Alisaie's fury and Alphinaud's deadpan explanation really sold the scene.
I know it may never happen; but just once I would like one Manderville Quest line that had both the Scions and Greg in it. Oh the chaos that would be unleashed with the amount of absurdity.
I like how it's a joke most probably have seen and will recognize, but get lost in the last part which only people who played the game and that specific questline can understand XD
@@Chrisdish The Manderville questline. That character's friend is the green chicken in the video and his name is Gilgamesh. Well...his 'actual' name is Gilgamesh. Everyone, npc and player alike, calls him Greg.
"alphinaud where are the popotoes?" "no idea dude, not my area" "but you were on turkey and veg" "popotoes aren't veg" "uh yes they are" "uh... n.... are they? mm.... i mean they kind of are, but not really" "well what else are they?" "you sure potatoes aren't veg? aren't they, not earth, but... like... salt? i mean, tomato is a fruit and popotoes are... bread? no. I mean they're wheaty, they don't go in the drawer in the fridge so... yea?" "alphinaud OBVIOUSLY popotoes are vegetables" "well now you're goin on about it maybe you're right, but they're not exactly cabbage, are they? I mean they're brown, they're NICE" "oh for fucks sake" "look there must be popotoes, theres always popotoes" "yes, we do have popotoes, TWO popotoes" "two... oh that's not enough, i love popotoes, they're the best bit" "EVERYTHING is the best bit according to you, croissants, carver, smoked salmon, pineapple rings, having the heating on incredibly high..."
Meanwhile the WoL was waiting in the other room. . . " Damn what is taking so long ? And why do I hear Battle on the Big Bridge? I havent heard that since good ol. . ." Rushes into the other room to help sort this out.
Meanwhile in the other kitchen: Urianger: "The dressing is erroneous overall; failure to properly cook the chicken has resulted in a residual stench of blood and other unpleasant odors; the sauce is too thick to bring out a deep flavor; the inconsistent cuts of the meat contribute to the serving's inability to rouse one's appetite.

Lacking sugar, you tossed two and a half spoons of butter, and the end result simply belongs right in the gutter. Estinien. I must ask if you aim to throng my teeth and prong my tongue by cooking wrong- seeing as this plate's a headstrong lens to ding-dong notions of what food is to you all along. "
The battle on the big fridge
During this duty, you will play as Alisaie
This doesn’t even seem like a parody. Alphinaud would joke, Alisaie would go off like that, and Gilgamesh would definitely interrupt a private gathering to save Enkidu.
What makes it a parody is that it takes their personalities and cranks them up a notch from what they are. Alisae is quick tempered for sure, but not to this level.
I'm sure big inspiration for this came from that one scene in Scotland.
@@ibigfire this is just her no longer held back by a T rating
@@ibigfire I'm pretty sure she would have dropped a few F bombs in her tirade towards Estinien.
I have no idea who this 'Gilgamesh' is. That's Greg. He's a friend of Inspector Hildebrand.
I feel like Gilgamesh could make an entire Christmas dinner all by himself.
He does have uhh… 8 arms? Sometimes? 🐓
Who?
@@Water-vk1vs imagine all the knives and utensils in each hand.
@vastumtempus they meant Greg.
ENKIDIUUUUUUU-
Of the twins, Alisaie would be the one to swear like a sailor 🤣
I've seen a whole bunch of polls asking which character in the Scions should get to swear and Alisaie always wins by a landslide.
You mean like she would ingame if the developers had the BALLS to do it? Its already her personality.
@@Hammybread balls? it's a T for teen game it's too late to raise the age rating xD
She’d drop so many F-bombs if the game weren’t rated T for teen 😂
Well, they somehow get away with that T rating. All with a lot of sexual innuendos, straight-up slavery, and child death. Top it off, that one Postal Moogle Quest......that one....yes, that one.@ShxpxRok
“Go on, Enkidu! It's Alphitoad -your favorite!”
Is it red or blue Alphitoad though?
@@cooliod00dConsider: Blue Ali-Toad
I love how two-tiered this joke is. Makes me chuckle every time.
You win the Internet. Congratulations
Happy starlight! Be nice to your friends and family don't be like Alisaie
this is gold, thanks Bene
Alisaie has always been a bitch in my eyes
Idk man, Blue Alisaie would have fucked up bigtime if he forgot the turkey.
Starlight joke's on you, they are ALL shitheads!
Cheers Bene! Hope you and yours enjoys the holidays as well!

And somehow a radio also comes into existence from that frypan. WOL really is a master chef.
Nah, see, cause tataru is crafting shit that’s better than Gerolt and Grendolt’s gear, she’s completely off the shits

You can't fault Greg's reaction. That is his literal only friend.
What about Hildibrand? :(
What about Daigoro?
don’t forget bartz
What about his coworkers at the Saucer?
only Allsaie could pull off a "Chef Ramsay" moment perfectly....
The way alphinaud isn't even struggling😭 Either Greg's knocked his ass out or he's accepted his fate
After his twin, his flesh and blood that he shared a womb with called him all those things... Who wouldnt embrace death?
Or he's dead.
He'll talk his way out.
He was choked out like a bitch 😂
I mean there’s no tank to Draw Agro.
Alphinaud trying, and failing, to land a joke with Alisaie at his expense is too accurate lmao.
Can I just say I have huge respect for the fact that you got real VA's? Like, its so common for people to continue to use AI, but I respect your continued effort.
those facial expressions, especially the subtle changes, are just tooooo goddamn gooood, youre killing meeeeeee
I love how he's trying so hard not to cry
I don't know why, but Alphinaud's slow expression change after Alisaie says "you what?" is killing me xD
Alisae: I should have known something was wrong when I saw it was GREEN.
Alphinaud: The vendor assured me it just got into those fruits adventurers use to dye their chocobo's feathers!
Alisae: Well what are we going to do now?
Alphinaud: Well, we could as our friends...
Alisae: NO.

Ah it's that time of year again
I'm alarmed by how incredibly canon this seemed.
Appreciate that you referenced him as Greg. The Hildebrandt series forever tainted my mind in the best way possible 😆
Imagine being on Aether. I automatically autocorrect ‘Gilgamesh’ to Greg now, that’s now his name. We all just broken WOLs lol
@@gateauxq4604 Prior to that it was just shouting "Girugamesh!" Which is probably where Greg comes from.
I can totally see a scene like this going off as canon if the Scions were ever involved in these side quests. The voice actors were amazing as well! Alisaie's fury and Alphinaud's deadpan explanation really sold the scene.
These VAs are really good ZAMN.
If this is what the Leveilleurs are up to during Starlight, imagine what the Mandervilles are up to, especially Julyan and Godbert. 😂😂😂
Whatever it is, it definitely involves going to Elpis
NOBODY EXPECT THE ENKIDU JUMPSCARE!
0:57 - "A TEST of your RE-"
I'm so happy you commissioned VAs for this instead of using AI voices.
Best part is how lore accurate everything here is
It's funny. What Alisae said to Alphinaud was literally my reaction during the whole Crystal Braves thing.
She does have lovely way with words ^w^
I know it may never happen; but just once I would like one Manderville Quest line that had both the Scions and Greg in it. Oh the chaos that would be unleashed with the amount of absurdity.
This is definitely from Peep Show and I am all for it LOL
Any time you put something out i always love it. While i'm glad i found your Jem of a channel, i'm mad you don't have more subscribers!!
I usually do not eat something that had a name. But after all Greg put me through I will make an exception.
Not only a BeneG. video for the holidays but one with best boy Greg in it, wonderful!
I can't stop rewatching this, it's amazing and hilarious ❤😂
Absolute insane quality, thanks for making another beautiful animation BeneG!
Happy starlight 🎉
Ahh this is so gooood! The animation work is so lovely!
When you got a Christmas ad right after the vid, 10/10
Never thought I'd see a FFXIV / Peep Show mashup and yet here we are!

What specific questline?
@@Chrisdish

You're videos are always so well done 🤣Hope you have a great starlight!
I loved it, please never stop making these! XD
"That wasnt very Starlighty"
I love this so much. Poor Alphi.
The moment I saw Enkidu, my face fell so fast, it damn near broke the floor.
Back it again with these banger animations!
Man, your animation has gotten so good. This one was so smooth! Still love the early stuff though
This was super well deserved and sexy design dude!uwu awesome animation ✌️😍🫶🏼🤪👌
At least she didn't make it personal and just called him all the lovely nicknames we all call him.
The VA for Alisaie sounds exactly like Lady Dimitrescu when she is screaming and insulting.
Amazing how they captured both their personalities in a single short lol
Thank you, this was a fantastic animation. Very starlighty.
omg Alisaie would lmao
I wasn't prepared for the theme kicking in.
You can really tell she’s twice as rugged as Alphinaud!
this is how the cooking arc in dawntrail should've been
holy.. im new to this game and these twins act like this!!? cant wait to see them for real! :D Awesome animation and Voice acting.
Awww. Greg comes for Enkidu. That's so sweet.
The only part that's unrealistic is Alisae sincerely apologizing on her own.
i can watch the red twin swear and the blue one all night. The blue after all could not heal the man with warm choclate
Alphinaud found an organic turkey... at the library... that's actually a live, green chicken who just happens to be Gre-imean Gilgamesh's best friend.
the pain in alphi's eyes xD
We need a follow up with Alisaie putting turkey and gravy thorugh Fourchenault's shredder
LOL!!! beneG this was amazing
WoL: I'm more of a star light ham kinda guy anyway.
I would be fighting the urge to turn Alisaie into the turkey at that point
Red Alphinaud, has no chill.
One Two, Greg is coming for you
She quite literally went "YOU WOT!?"
Enough expository banter! Now we give presents like men! And ladies! And ladies who dress like men! For Gilgamesh...it is Starlight time!
"alphinaud where are the popotoes?"
"no idea dude, not my area"
"but you were on turkey and veg"

" Damn what is taking so long ?
And why do I hear Battle on the Big Bridge? I havent heard that since good ol. . ."

Oh, it's Enkidu, I mean I guess you've got to use what assets you've got.
*Door busts open*
I died laughing, thanks
Even in a conversation, Alisaie immediately activates limit break.
Another quality video i will watch hundreds of times
Happy Starlight to you! This was great 😂
thats just fucking amazing lol. alisaie going off like a proper brit! love it!
So this is what those two have been up to while they wait for Dawntrail.
Alisaie went full Kaine
You should get a cameo of those 2 saying these things. They would laugh their ass off. 😂
Greg just wanted to join in on cooking Enkidu
"This turkey is so raw, I can still hear it clucking!!!!"
Happy Holidays 🎉
Chance would be a fine thing, Alphinaud. A fine thing indeed!
The holidays do bring out the worst in people.
I'm about to start the next Hildebrand quest and I can't wait to see Greg again.
