If you react to my videos publicly your soul now belongs to me.
Can't wait for Asmon's reaction for this
I can
Won't happen till he gets to endwalker in 2034

"Thancred, how do you intend to escape with balls that big?"
"Balls shrink in the cold."
Holy shit that sent me.
Same.
It's been a year and I am yet to return
getting “balls shrink in the cold” tattood on my forehead
How is the editing so tight on a 2 hour video? This is literally a masterpiece
not enough people talk about how "fun fact: soken undergoing chemotherapy was just a cover. He actually composed Endcaller and just straight burned the cancer out of his body" is one of the hardest lines ever dropped
Is this was a meme?
Revenge of the Horde playing everytime Estinien is on screen is hilarious to me
John heavensward's theme
Me: *intimately familiar w/ the story and lore*
Finally part 6 of Chair's groundbreaking journalistic series
I'm right there with you homie XD ♥
The music to the lvl83 trial really did set a goddamn terrifying atmosphere.
I really liked the part where everyone dies, you start endwalking, Zenos appears out of no where and you ride him.
I mean, who wouldn't
don't forget the part where Zenos talks about how he vores our Star-Mommy.

I could never forget Lunar Bahamut, he's been in my recommended Triple Triad Deck for months
Insane. Why did you do the Zenos fight with every single class. Just some really really absurd things throughout this entire video. Fantastically done. Really made me feel the same thing I went through of playing week 1 without that part where I spent two days on a single platform waiting for Chi to spawn.
Would it be better if I had good reason?

Chi up in 5m btw

Pretty sure you said something similar back in the ShB video, but man, it’s such a nice feeling to revisit the highlights of the story again. No matter how the gameplay changes or where the story goes, scenes like the final battle with Hydaelyn will always put me back in that happy place from launch week.
2 HOURS?!?! Future me is so happy that he’s high and can watch this
High am I.
I am very very sorry mister chair. I thought you were wrong when I read that one scene in Endwalker but I now realize that your incredible analysis is so great and powerful just like your DPS. I hope they add kaiten back in the game just for you because your so cool and strong and not insecure about the amount of hair on your body.
Ngl this almost feels like a maxor vid with less seizures. Which is its own blessing
Regardless this was a fucking amazing video that honestly feels like the best way to re-live the story of 14 without NG+
Stay irregular stool man.
Definitely like a Max0r vid, even with all the Hololive cameos!
47:10 Pol Pol
1:05:30 Goombus
I'm sorry but this isn't nearly schizophrenic enough to be like a maxor vid
Irregular only in consistency or also in composition?
@@EspyMelly Oh it gets there in some places, but much less so overall
It's less of a max0r vid and more like a less unhinged Sseth vid
I understand most of the synopsis is under a veil or sarcasm and shit posting, but it’s genuinely so heartfelt at the same time. Easily one of your best works yet Chair, thank you for being one of my guiding hands when I started playing this game, and seeing how good you are at making videos.
Whenever I rewatch this - and I do, a lot - I always well up at the Close in the Distance montage. You putting that together alone is a gift to the community.
2:13:51 What I find interesting is they actually kind of gave Zenos a redemption of sorts. Not a redemption that makes him good, far from it, but a redemption from within his own moral framework. He figured out something he was doing wrong, that was obstructing him from finding his own satisfaction, and fixed it. He did better. He didn't become good by anyone else's measure, but he found his own type of redemption in the way that mattered to him. In a certain way, I see Zenos just a little bit like the Lykaon.
Using footage from the Extreme version of the trials was a great idea. This video was fantastic, good work!
Ah, the memories of pressing Dosis on Zenos until he dies, what a riveting moment that was. And I had nobody to blame but myself for making that final showdown so exciting. And to think that if I'd leveled anything else, it would have been so boring, pressing all those different buttons!
This was almost me, but I decided to level Reaper for EW.
Now I'm sad I missed such an engaging final fight!
this was a video full of emotion and laughter and everything that fulfills me as a human being. greatest video of all time holy shit
The papaya joke with the music is criminally underappreciated.
20 minutes in an im already blown away by the editing. What a great way to be distracted at work, thank u chair
Every estinien cut with the heavensward music killed me in the best way possible
So happy to see how far you came from years ago.
You probably don’t remember this, but I asked for your input on wether not I should pick the game back up again in your first Q&A vid. I did shortly after your answer, and have been playing ever since. I got really into raiding and the people I met along the way helped pull my mental health out of the gutter. I have about 4K hours now and don’t regret my time spent on the content and friends.
I look forward to see what you do moving forward from xiv, and just wanted to thank you for what you’ve done for the xiv community. I will be watching 8)
P.S don’t give up on the TEA clear, you’re so close! I don’t type under the same name but tune in often to cheer you on
Oh man, I barely remember it. I'm glad you've had a good time.
Chair talking as the characters is unironically really good
+1 engagement metric for you mr samurai
As someone who is a massive fan of estinien just hearing the blaring HW music any time he did anything had me laughing 10/10 chair, well played
Thanks for all the content! Always love your videos.
Further evidence to the Shadowbringers not having Dynamis in the lore yet.
In Amaurot, Terminus Sprinters (the horses) have an attack called Aether Spike. Which given the lore of the Final Days being made of Dynamis doesn't line up.
When you see Sprinters again later, the attack is still used, but it's renamed to Hollow Spike, presumably in reference to it basically being an attack made with a hole in aether.
They could justify it by them being recreations made by Emet, who by that point forgot about Dynamis.
But yeah, inconsistencies are unavoidable.
they made things up as the story goes on, this is common and expected for stories that goes for years. For example, the ancients are not even a thing in the writing table until like, mid stormblood, resulting in various inconsistencies from ARR and HW that they eventually address.
"Balls shrink in the cold" mate I've been cracking up non stop, thank you for making this. I'm sure the rest of it is just golden but I wanna make sure I remember to like comment subscribe and sell my soul to the algorithm because you deserve that 100k subs and so much more
Even with all the sh*t posting throughout the video I still got emotional listening to all the music and watching the events play out again.
The part where you walk through the Voices from the Past or whatever to Close in the Distance, God dang man... Made me tear up, legitimately.
This feels like a Maxor video, but its actually taking its adderall prescription.
can really feel the Max0r and Uberdanger influence in this one.
Having me in stitches and then bawling my eyes out (that walk up to Meteion with the overlays of who was saying the lines.... your cruel cruel Chair) is masterful.
Thank YOU.
So... during the voices of the past. My brain didn't even think that they were memories from previous dialogue. And when you did it here, going to be honest. I kinda started bawling because it hit me harder than I thought it would. Thank you for that. Very good watch. Love to all involved with with the creation of this video, recording, interacting, editing, raiding, everything. Thank you for being awesome.
Amazing and well done. You are 100% certainly the most misshapen chair.
All this time later, that song and stairs still brings tears to my eyes.
I did not think I would watch this whole video, but this was amazing. Love your content- keep doing what makes you happy!
Meteion trying to no avail to make chair give in to hopelessness not realizing hes progging TEA atm and is currently far beyond what he... She... It perceives to be true despair
Also thx for triggering my mother crystal ex ptsd with the extra editing skills chair
Edit: he beat it he is immortal may he forever have nekopara
SHEESH. That run time must've been an undertaking.
Honestly the most impact moment of the expansion is Venat asking us the question of has our journey been good and worthwhile. Made me really reflect on the almost 1,000 hours I’ve spent with the game and the friends I’ve made from it. All the hype moments and heart breaking ones. Truly a powerful scene that sticks out to me. Followed closely by Zenos’s question to us at the end of the 6.0 MSQ.
Aside from this masterpiece of a video you would be an awesome teacher. Granted, like the ones we used to get extremely annoyed by... but we never forget what they said in class for the rest of our life.
Holy... what a marathon. 2 hours 20 minm that's a whole movie man. And I enjoyed every minute of it. Thanks for letting us relive the story again. And thank you Chair for all the FF14 content you made. All the best to you with or without FF14. And may Kaiten rest in peace.
What a masterpiece. Thank you, truly, for creating and sharing it.
Stunningly amazing video with fantastic editing. Seriously great job with this one, I can't express it enough
My favourite parts were Gigachad Estinien insulting people to motivate them, edgy early 2000 Meteion, the german song, Tsundere Emet, someone remembering Papalymo, Nekopara, MOTIVATION and Estinien again
sure this joke has been made many times, but gotta make it again: that was not the way i was expecting to ride zenos, but at this point i'm desperate enough to take what i can get
I'm only 20 minutes in and just want to say that this came out amazingly good my man. Your editing has gotten so tight and doing these solid bits for 20 straight minutes, I'm so excited for the next two hours. You've really outdone yourself with this one.
Yup, watched this on and off at work today between calls and man, you really did something really amazing and special here. Some of the cuts and edits could stand on their own as separate videos and you somehow kept pushing the bar of quality even hire and kept it up for over two hours. You are an absolute legend and I cannot wait to see what misshapen masterpiece you make next in whatever game you make it for. In the long run I think the push for polish and quality in your latest videos help to make them timeless and evergreen. Seriously, hats off to you (to be replaced with hat text)
I actually got emotional at this video a few times, and it wasn't (just) from riding off the high of having played Endwalker myself. Absolutely fantastic.
Actually insanely good editing. Your previous vids were awesome but this is next level, props chair, great shit man
Finally got around to watching this one, really appreciate the amount of work put into it. loved the editting on the trial fights.
You sneak in so many cute little details and non-obvious(obscure?) jokes that just hit so perfect it's unreal. Thanks for making such fire content.
Damn, I didn't expect that you'd actually be able to bust out 2+ hours of consistent good jokes whilst also summarizing Endwalker's story, but here I am at 1AM on a school day, glad that I watched the full thing. Thank you for this video! I am happily surprised.
The amount of time and effort that went into this is beyond staggering. Some of your finest work by far
It's not often I'll sit and enjoy an entire two hour video. This really was tightly edited, I can't imagine how much work went into this. A wonderful way to relive Endwalker. I look forward to your future content, FFXIV and otherwise
I actually liked 10 final goodbyes. Game was so emotionally exhausting that this breather pauses felt well.
And game has been so heavily waving death flags that I was certain someone from main cat was going to die for real this time.
20:25 it is actually true for a certain type of semi hard aerated ground frost that forms over hard frozen soil or permafrost.
despite playing it twice, watching several lps, and rewatching the scene many, many times-
that venat walk still gives me goosebumps
what a fucking character, what a damn game
That cutscene after ktisis made me sob for 3 hours. I was not okay. Why would you remind me of this, I'm sobbing again. With that music. How could you TwT
HELP
Finally got to the end. Thank you so much for this, it's a masterpiece, possibly one of the best youtube videos I've ever seen. Super enjoyable throughout. Cheers, and have fun with everything you do before you come back to FFXIV :D
This is a masterpiece and I'm so glad you made it
Great video. Great retelling. Some very fine video editing. If I had realised that part earlier, I wouldn't have doomed you to second screen
The editing on this went insane, amazing work mr sideways seat. i've been a fan for a while now and i always thought it was cool when i ran into you while running baldesian arsenal. Keep doing what makes you happiest and your fans will be there.♥
This was an epic video. Kudos to the sweet edit. It had me laughing throughout.
This was one lovely video experience, thank you too Chair and everyone involved ~
This was amazing thank you chair. Good luck with your other projects.
Thank you for the jumpscare warning. As someone who is easily startled by those things, a warning to steel myself is very much apreciated.
This video is great, still watching it but I wanted to thank you for that in particular since people just throw those in without realising how the audience might react to such things
If someone told me that chair would put out a video that would make me cry I would have never believed it, but man this was an amazing presentation. I look forward to any content you put out next. You're one of my favorite content creators first and a FFXIV creator second.
When we needed him the most, his misshapen silhouette appeared
Man, this video is still SO good. I am playing through the post endwalker patches and needed a refresher and this vid is incredible. Thank you for these amazingly funny edits. I am looking forward to your dawntrail content!
Best 2 hours I've spent in a while. This is passion project tier work.
You edited over 2 hours of this
Let me give you a hug
I remember getting through the Garlemald and the other area and feeling like "I'm almost done." Endwalker was pretty darn great and I'm glad I boosted a char to see it while I slowly work through the rest of the game with my "main". Thanks for the vid Mr. Chair. Keep being you, never get shapen. This video was top notch, both editing and misshapen-wise, and I can only imagine how much time it took to edit.
As much as i love all the shitposting you really nailed how amazing and surprising some of these moments felt especially with those trial montages. My fav thing about xiv is the passion that is clearly put into its creation and I can tell you respect that aspect too.
Another perfect video by misshapen chair. 10/10 would watch again
Amazing how both detailed and parody this is at the same time.
i don't understand why fandom has this obsessive need for everything to have been planned from day one. that's simply not how a story that spans years/decades *works*.
I definitely agree. The peculiar contradictions, while subtle, are evident. How, for example, do primals gain strength through fervent prayer, if primals are beings of purely Aether? They are not creatures of Aether _AND_ Dynamis; Zodiark's shroud making sure of that. One's emotions should mean nothing to the primals if the primals gain nothing through emotion. Also, how can you say "entropy exists in this fantasy universe" when Azys Lla was able to remain in the sky for untold millenia, purely off of the _PRAYERS_ of the tempered as siphoned through the primals like batteries, while the primals even grow in strength during that time? it would be able to sustain itself indefinitely, *IN THE SKY, MIND YOU, WITH A GIANT F-OFF MAGICAL BARRIER,* had the allagans not fallen during their calamity, and you mean to tell me that the universe is doomed to a heat death? Preposterous.
And other things; Dynamis is just the most prevalent example, but there are others, I'm sure. It's a very well-told story, but it's one that shows the flaws of the process of making it.
@@obviouslykaleb7998 To be fair, Zodiark's shroud doesn't eliminate the existence of Dynamis. It still very much occurs on the star. (See: Limit Breaks, the fact that the Elpis bloom is affected and the fact that Akasa is even an idea at all)
It just keeps the external negative dynamis in the great expanse that Meteion is directing at Etheirys out.
@@Zakjuh the issue with that theory, insofar as it relates to limit breaks at least, is one of the fundamental aspects of Dynamis itself and the use of the limit break in the Warrior of Light trial.
We know that, the more dense the aether in an area, the less Dynamis, and it works vice-versa as well. Given, then, that primals are beings of *PURE* aether, they cannot therefore harness Limit Breaks, which would require massive amounts of Dynamis if they are indeed caused by Dynamis. Therefore: Dynamis was never conceived of as recently as patch 5.3, or limit breaks do not use Dynamis, or what happened in that trial was never a true limit break despite its' intentional appearance and great thematic importance. Though, to be frank, I'm unsure why people say 'limit breaks use Dynamis.' I'm not certain if it's actual lore or inference.
In other words: Dynamis is very much a new concept in the story, or the writing sucks, or limit breaks don't use Dynamis.
As for the Elpis Flower: eh I guess so?
Edit: as well: Azys Lla. It remained floating and defended with a massive Aether shield by the siphoned aether of the primals imprisoned within, which were themselves powered by the imprisoned, tempered, worshippers of said primals.
In other words: either Emet-Selch/Lahabrea/whoever designed the tempering primals to change Dynamis into Aether without really any knowledge of what Dynamis is, or Dynamis is a new concept in the lore. It's obvious to me that Dynamis is a new concept in the lore.
@@obviouslykaleb7998 Quick response to the 5.3 trial thing.
The Warrior of Light is a form that Elidibus clad himself in, using the power and will and fervent belief of warriors of light from other shards and worlds. Considering Amaurotines are strictly said not to be able to harness dynamis due to being composed entirely of aether, I prefer to believe that Elidibus used limit break by siphoning it, along with everything else, from the essence of the warriors of light that he called out to and/or had summoned. It didn't come from him, but was instead taken from actual sundered beings and harnessed by him. I know that doesn't directly answer what you said, but that's something that came to mind and I truly believe it to be that way. Like sucking the water out of a pond and putting it into your bucket.
Zenos ranting about reclears hit way too close to home for me. What a wonderful video this is.
I legit appreciate the run-throughs of the other Scions' late-night visits.
Yeah yeah yeah! Those videos are great for remembering what actually happened in the haze that is the MSQ
This is too good. I haven't laughed like this is a while. Some of these jokes are amazing. Thank you!
this was a fantastic video. i've only recently gotten into ffxiv in the past year (i just beat the endwalker main msq a couple of weeks ago), but the way you edited and narrated the video felt like i was on a fresh journey all over again. love your work!
This video is amazing! I started at lunch to watch a bit every lunch for the next week or so but I ended up binging this. Hilarious editing and writing! Instantly subscribed
Dude, I love Endwalker, and I still loved every moment of this.🥰🍿
Had to come back and watch this masterpiece again. Lovely
You are so great at this. Loved the video and wanted to comment for algorithmic influence. Awesome job!
This was honestly a terrifically well made video Chair. Your editing is great, and even though you're taking the piss a bit, it still brought back all those some feelings I had finishing Endwalker the first time around. Be proud of yourself for this.
started watching this after the latest patch for about the 10th time. thank you for being able to express your love for this game in a way i never could and for choosing to share your passion with us mr. chair
The MSQ just doesn't hit right without the F. This brought me the same joy as going through the story the first time. Truly the ultimate FFXIV content creator.
Love this so much man, I can't imagine the ungodly hours you must've put into this behemoth of a vid so thank you.
Honestly, even through all the memeing I got some real feels reminiscing the story, endwalker may not be my ultimate favourite expansion (shb takes that cake though it's close), but to me it has the greatest scenes in the entire game. Actually, some of the greatest scenes/payoffs in any media I've seen, that Venat walk will never not make me want to cry.
And the musics...
I genuinely like the use of the minstrel ballads fights rather than the MSQ ones to make the storyline fights seem more "explosive". The editing was really good on them.
Another banger summary video of the MSQ. Thanks MC.
Not going to retype my other comments of appreciation, just gonna share my support. They're in here somewhere.
1:57:05
I couldn't remember who said each line at the time so this was sooooooo nice to having direct quotes shown. Awesome video.
Amazing video Chair! Loved every moment and bringing me back to the amazing journey that is ff14. I’m excited to see what you come up with in the future that you are happy with. Best of wishes chair and until next time!
Even in a mostly comedic video, I STILL get chills as those opening notes of Big fat tacos start playing as you jump on Xenos. They really made some moments that will never get old.
I'm not even a fourth of the way there and the amount of edits is dizzying, amazing.
Damn what a banger video, can't wait for what you cook up next!
over 2 hours of heavily edited footage? this is unhinged, I love it
I've waited so long for this
What a great send off to Endwalker!
Also, rip Kaiten
Srsly tho this is amazing and I can't imagine the time it took. Not just all the editing, but going through the parts multiple times for different cuts and what not. Good work to everyone that was a part of it.
This was a cinematic masterpiece, thank you once again for you endless banger content chair.
Your editing and presentation is top notch. Great work my man
