Oh hell yeah, I loved your last video on A Realm Reborn. It's particularly useful for those getting back into FFXIV and need a refresher on what happened in the story.
I just took a break for like 6 months after finishing Shadowbringers and yeah really needed this lol
No freaking way, man. I was JUST wondering if you'd ever go back to 14. I'm so ready to listen to this.
I've played ARR maybe 5 times with my main and alts, but I enjoy the way you present stories so much that it doesn't matter that I know it front to back.
I am so so glad you're doing the rest of the story. I love this game and I love your story videos.❤
This is now officially my favorite lore channel.
As a long-time XIV player and long-time follower of this channel, thank you.
I sincerely cannot express my deep & genuine gratitude for the monumental effort you put into these videos. It's been awhile since I've played through FF14 & the first two expansions. I want to pick it back up, but I'm going to be totally lost.
I know I'm not the only one who is anxiously waiting for you to do a story video that covers Heavensward.
Thank you so so much! I know these don't get as much views as some of your other videos but there's so much gratitude from the community for things like this, I hope it makes sense for the health of your Channel to do the rest of the game
Omg I've been wanting this for so long I'm so glad you're going to keep making these!!
So happy you're doing more of this!! The previous helped me so much to remember the details of ARR while going forward and it really ensured I got the most out of the later expansions
I discovered you channel through the first FF XIV video. I stayed for the SCP videos, but it is a pleasure to see the followup to the story!
OOh, this is a surprise but a welcome one - you always seemned to pick up a lot of details from the story. If ever you finish up this series, if you decide to, i'd highly recommend considering doing some of the class stories, or covering them. Dark Knight in particular ties itself heavily to the themes of the exspansions, and some are overall just good c:
But covering exspansions + patches over the next half year in release towards Dawntrail is quite nifty too (if its the plan).
One suggestion I would have is putting in the numbers of the patches themselves - even if it may seem redundant, I know its how a lot of players sometimes search for specific quests to watch, or otherwise how they may avoid spoilers if they have only played up to a certain patch. That way people could skip to the patch they want to see maybe, or just give a little bit of structure to a 2+ hour video - but I do realize it may not mesh with the narrative decision.
YES YES YES! I thought this series is dead but I AM WRONG! Thank you for continuing this!
Came here from your link in the ARR video! I'm still somewhat new to the game and this is exactly what I needed at exactly the right time! Thank you!
I just got into FF14 again and needed a refresher. This is timely and appreciated!
Its a good thing I work night shift so I can excitedly watch these at 2am
I've been looking forward to seeing you continue the story!! I'm so excited and I truly hope you've been enjoying the game and story!! 😆
Take your time going through each expac / expansion and try to enjoy the ride as best you can! It can be emotionally and psychologically taxing at some points (and a bit of a test of patience in Stormblood) so please remember to take breaks regularly and do wrist stretches! ❤😊
Such a treat! You make a great job at describing these, and I am very glad to see you’re still putting work into this series. As someone who is only interested in the game’s lore, videos like yours help so much in understanding the story. Have a great day everyone! Thanks for the vid.
Thanks for covering this again! Looking forward to the rest one day! I hope you enjoy the story as much as i do because it only gets better.
I rarely leave comments but I just have to say; as someone who's returning to the game for Dawntrail after 3-4 years away from the game, your two videos have been such a great asset for remembering the bits and pieces I'd completely forgotten about ARR.
I really do hope you continue with this series because these videos have just the right pacing and info, unlike most recaps out there.
God that epic banquet scene at the end is SO damn good. I love it all so much.
Cannot encourage you enough to continue this series. This is a stellar archive of these storylines and I appreciate calling out little inconveniences or inconsistencies that give Explora character of her own. Thanks for the videos
8 years later, today I learned Minfilia real name is Asilia OwO I might be forgot about it.
*OH BOY! IT’S 3AM!!*
A neutral enough third person commentary + simple and succinct summary + occasional jab at the game = Amazing video!
Thank you! You made a little sprout very happy
Oh boi. An SCP about final fantasy yay
You did an incredible job with these! I tried looking up a video to summarize heavensward, but haven't been able to find anything with this level of quality, detail, and polish. Really feel spoiled by these, and I mean that in the best way possible. Thank you so much for creating these; the hard work that you put in is very evident and shows through.
This video will give me the push i need to finish playing ffxiv so i can listen to this without spoilers
Dude!! I work loooong shifts and have played your first FFXIV video so so so many times. THANK YOU for this!! My wife and I appreciate you SO much
I’m so glad you decided to continue this!
Cant wait for more of this please ❤
Im sure it takes a really long time, but the work is phenomenal.
Plus this has been nice to listen to while lvling the rest of my jobs
I cant wait for the Havensward video and so on and so forth.
A story for another time, eh? Looking forward to Crystal Tower! Also, the sheer number of times you've said "Return to the Waking Sands" and "Return to the Rising Stones" in these videos gets me every time.
oh dang exploras adventure continues after many years
Im so happy you finally come back to this. Was sad when the last video didnt do well. Your way to telling these things i perfect for FFXIV.
So amazing to see you continue this series
You really sparked my XIV flame. I haven't played in earnest in a couple of years. Gonna have to dig out my keyboard and get back to it.
Please keep these coming! I love the way you tell the story
Omg! I didn't realize this is only a month old! I went straight to this video after watching the first. Thank you so much for your talent!
Great recap for someone who hasn't revisited these patch quests since they first came out.
Thank you for doing these, you are truly a Warrior of Light.
Wow I feel like I waited years for this! Thank you so much!
Huh , it's 12.40 pm 🎉
Yay, more final fantasy
I had to play the game myself, now that I'm caught up I can binge these videos.
Wow what a treat! Thanks mangg
You've my full support! I love your FF XIV story videos. Always glad to be reminded of the story as well as have something nice to listen to in the evening before bed. Keep up the great work!
I was talking with my friend about this very thing. How a lot of players likely skip the stories of the game to just play, and aside from starting a whole new character, it's difficult to get the stories.
It would be great if you did shorts on the stories of the side quests. It would certainly give you PLENTY more content to make.
I would recommend ticking off the "notify subscribers" box on the submission of the short, as apparently the algorithm favors content like that, making it easier for your content to reach new people.
I am grateful for this video. thank you very much!
i’m so happy you’re back with more FFXIV!! ❤
Ahh thank you for another great summary!! Really hoping for more from you 😁
Gotta say I'm really happy to see you keep going with FFXIV, recently became a favorite game of mine!
i was hoping you'd continue this series
Yeessss finally!!!! Loved the previous video. I was worried you wouldn't continue, but I'm happy to see you are!
Lets go! So pleased to see you come back to FF story
I skipped every cutscene up to stormblood so this is awesome
I've been hoping since the last ARR video that you'd come back to add more tysm
I honestly hope that you continue on and do Heavensward next, that expansion was amazing... especially with our boy Haurchefant
finally finished watching it, thanks again for taking on this huge project.
i like zoned out during the patch quests up until 2.55 (100 quests so many of which are tedious) so maybe i'll actually learn what happens during the rest of it by listening to this !!
i am beyond excited to see your continuing this tysm.
Love how you fit it to the screen
I JUST REWATCHED THE OTHER ONE HOLY THIS JUST SROPPED WOOOOOOO
The Explora story continues!!!!
I can't wait to see the next part 4 years from now!
Videos going over the story of long games like FF are good with me.
Redownloaded this week and this comes out. Thanks so much!
Have played ff14 through storm blood and most of shadowbringes but have taken a long break. It’s great to have a resource like this to remind myself of early lore. Would love to see a series on heavensward and the other patches
I love Explora's new look she gets during these events! the new armor looks nice!
He returns
Nothing a Balam Industries sponsored field trip can’t fix.
So,thesis: clutch your crystals and believe harder - plus, Dragndildos, somehow...
I would advise covering the Raid Series (crystal tower, void ark, ivalice, nier, and legends of the realm) in time with when the quests becomes available, some of the information becomes relevant
"AAAANNNGGGGRRYYYY!"- Irate Lalafell
Eyy, 3am club even if I’m skipping this one.
This is the last thing I expected to be covered here lol. Love it though, as a long-time player.
mangg we NEED a shb video from you omg
Thanks Mangg!!
1:48:25 Wauw, I didn't remember he said when later in the story.. "I would sooner cut off my own arm than raise a hand against a friend" that's fking rich comming from him X'D
Quite interesting this came about early this week
This is so hype! Love your work and i love this game! Best of both worlds. Hope you continue on with Heavensward!
It’s back!
I dont care about or play ffxiv.
I just like you telling me stuff, mang.
❤
Thank you!!!!
ARR patch quests, aka, fetch quest hell.
it gets much better in HW as you "make a name for yourself"
also god fucking danmit, didnt expect nanamos´s death
not until "she then takes a drink of wine...." fuck.
We have finally reached the Seventh Astral Slog
Let's go! Return of Explora! :D
OMG! I'm so glad you're doing the rest of ff14's story!!
I just found out you do ffxiv stuff, I was around back in the early scp days and it’s cool to see you do different stuff now that longform content is meta now
glad you made another ff14 video! these are so helpful
I think it was the Tataru quest where I started to care more about this game. I hated seeing Tataru sad and it broke my heart and from there the political intrigue in the final moments of ARR cemented my love and obsession with this game.
I'm probably not going to watch this because I've already played though it, but I'm so glad to see you doing it regardless. FFXIV has an amazing story and it all starts with the incredibly strong backbone of ARR. People sometimes apologize for its slow pacing, but I feel like it is precisely what the game needs for the faster paced late game and expansion stories to work. ARR ran so the rest of FFXIV could soar.
Please continue the adventure of Explora
Thank you so much for continuing this!
So, uh, did they try explaining to Ramu that his very presence endangers the continued existence of all life?
Me at the start: "Man I'm sick of this immortal fish man bs, why do people like this story anyway?"
Me shortly after buying the skip to Heavensward: "My lady, your dream shall be made manifest."
i really hope you continue with 14, i really like this
Yessss!!! I hope this means the DLC stories are coming too...
Exploria does sound like a legit Final Fantasy name =)
Great Video
This was a great summary and made me strangely nostalgic about the post ARR patches until Heavensward, no matter how much of a slog it was to play it 😅 I also remember, how much I liked Thancreds, Alphinauds & Raubahns old VAs. Sam Riegel as Alphinaud is lowkey better than the "new" VA imo.
Hope you keep this series going, really looking forward to Exploras dive into the expansions! Do you have plans for Coils of Bahamut or Crystal Tower to include to your videos? Maybe a mini series, as they are quite important to later expansions
I never comment, but just had to say thank you for this!!! Loved your last FF14 vid! It was excellent!
