the subtle face things like the double take, the stuttered pause mid-word, the nostrils sniffing, the eyes widening, memes aside this is legit some fantastic performance animations
Give it a few years, given they just showcases the addition of much more advanced squash and stretch tech, we very well may. Honestly it's squash and stretch that's one of the biggest things behind high detail animation as it both facilitates and aliviates more complex bone rigging in models.
It's probably hard for them to do that because of the ridiculous amount of cutscenes the game has, but I do hope they'll make important moments a little more cinematic
@@rexex345 I noticed they also seem to be experimenting with much more expressive eye movement in the most recent patches, especially with the cutscenes involving Zero, but Krile as well. I imagine that’ll pair well with the graphical update they’re doing with 7.0. They always seem to experiment with some new detail of animation or camera work in smaller patches in order to implement it bigger in the next expansion. ShB and EW got much more cinematic camera movement than previous expansions.
@@facetioustitan3900 oh yeah, iirc they upgraded the tech for that around 5.3 which is when they did their first showcase with the last cutscene. Eyes is actually surprisingly hard cause while they're typically their own models inside the face, getting it even slightly off creates incredible uncanny valley effects that can ruin a scene.
Of the few times the WoL was served food before this scene, 1 ended with Rauhbans arm being cut off and the other ended with us being drugged... The last included a date night with Aymeric who ended up getting stabbed... Lol So this really meant a lot to the WoL
Omg thats so true, no wonder we stopped eating in SB 🤣 Well that isnt true, we were offered a drink with Gogetsu and we all know how that turned out... until he was revealed to be alive still.
@@semekiizuio yeah there might be other minors scenes i may have forgotten where the WoL is explicitly seen eating food but those were the significant ones i remember off the top of my head LUL and yeah, i dont remember any eating scenes in SB. LUL
If this actually happen the Exarch would implode right the moment WOL took a bite. Also, have to go punch a wall cus this is cute and wholesome as hell.
@@Firan25 I admit, I was a story skipper! I didn't care for story in MMOs after growing up playing WoW, I just wanted to level and fight stuff, really. Run around playing a character I thought looked cool. Started playing back in 2016, and skipped all story up to Shadowbringers. My friend forced me to pay attention, I bawled my eyes out, proceeded to bawl through Endwalker too, and I've actually now begun playing a new character and have been going through story properly from the beginning now. While the game may have a story focus, not everyone plays it for story. People can enjoy it in whatever way they want as long as they don't hurt anyone. In my case, I was never a story person and my time playing World of Warcraft in the past kinda ruined my perspective on MMORPG story, as I rarely see anyone care for WoW's story and I always just sorta blew through it without caring in my younger years. I AM glad I experienced Shadowbringers and Endwalker though, as it's gotten me invested in knowing and catching up with the full game's story before any more big expansions drop! :)
@Firan25 WoW broke a lot of people. A text window would pop up next to the quest and had a lot of unnecessary detail while having no interaction with the questgiver so it usually was best to just go to the objectives to find how many boars you needed to kill. The story wasn’t as clear-cut as the MSQ so most of your time was spent leveling. The story most people focused on was endgame raids and even then most raiders don’t GAF about story and just want loot. The heaviest concentration of story has been getting set aside for books and other media outside the game so yeah, WoW breeds story skippers. It’s ok tho, a fair number of them have unlearned that behavior since the story does actually deserve to be paid attention to in FFXIV.
@@gateauxq4604 100%! FFXIV's had to untrain a LOT of negative WoW habits of mine, so far enjoying story again is a big one, but also trying not to worry so much about dungeons, trials and raids. I look up guides for every single one I have to do for MSQ out of a habit of being afraid of my dungeon party yelling at me. 😅 FFXIV's community is so much more welcoming, it makes me feel a lot more comfortable when playing.
@@tylermalone6466 Fray just unable to contain herself and openly sobbing at the only humane gesture she/he/they've probably ever seen shown to the WoL.
I am so incredibly happy right now that you decided to go through with making this video, this is so damn wholesome. Amazing job as always, but every subtle movement in this animation was just so well done! Thank you for making these videos! ❤
You do for FFXIV what countless legends did (and still do) for TF2 (and other Valve games) with their GMod & SFM animated videos. Thank you so much for this, this is amazing and definitely needs more traction.
This video more or less sums up the transition from Stormblood to Shadowbringers After spending the last expansion being treated like a side character (while still doing all the heavy lifting), the story finally remembers that you're still a person who deserves be treated to simple delights like sandwiches and plenty of sleep every now and then
Why is it that I can see this totally happening in-game? WoL just so stressed out from everything and then Exarch comes in with a simple sandwich and makes the WoL break down.
This is hilarious. I've seen the original and you nailed the feeling perfectly. I'm dying laughing. I also just noticed the "Well Fed" and I'm laughing even harder now
I love all the friends and children I’ve adopted on this journey. The scions are my family including Tataru on of the only few Lalafell’s that I think are cool
This is HILARIOUS but above all I'm impressed with the attention to detail in the animation, movement and expressions. There are so many subtle details that makes this video not only one of the funniest videos I've ever seen but also one of the most well done and amazing videos I've ever seen
I just arrived at the point in the msq when Ardbert lets you know the exarch made you sandwiches and i had to drop everything and rewatch this like 5 times
I don't usually say things like this but this is how I will forever see this scene. Someone does something for the WoL with no prerequisites or strings attached. Just...here, I made you a sandwich. Our character is just so amazed he or she didn't have to kill a dragon for it.
WoL then goes on to repay the kindness by hand-delivering sandwiches to everyone else. *Grimcogg:* "Wicked white, you're _them!_ You were there, in the middle of it all, strong as a hundred men! A bulwark against the tide of eaters that threatened to overwhelm us! *And now you've brought me a sandwich!"* *Novice Guard:* "I... I don't know what to say. I don't deserve your kindness. *I don't deserve your sandwich."*

the subtle face things like the double take, the stuttered pause mid-word, the nostrils sniffing, the eyes widening, memes aside this is legit some fantastic performance animations
I love you too man!
Thank you Jo! I'm no professional in animation but I did try my best to replicate the same awkward vibe from the original meme
Also that we'll fed pop up I shlurp that up
the work this person puts in these animations is definitely top notch
@@benedictgg Wait, you're not professional?!? Bro, I fully thought you were getting paid and this was something you did for fun
Look, im a simple WoL. If the catboy makes me a sandwich, he can come with me on however many adventures he wants.
I think the only other person who’s made us food is Tataru. They both get whatever they want.
@@AlleluiaElizabeth Exactly.
That cat boy already took a hundred years to alter the timeline and save me. He owns me and can do whatever the hell he wants with me.
@@falcontomto Yesssss. That cat boy loves his WoL. He'd give you 1000 sandwiches if he could. He gets ALL the burgers and then some.
Honestly same, he is a good boy
i wish we could have cutscenes this expressive in game
Give it a few years, given they just showcases the addition of much more advanced squash and stretch tech, we very well may. Honestly it's squash and stretch that's one of the biggest things behind high detail animation as it both facilitates and aliviates more complex bone rigging in models.

@@benedictgg Oh yeah, trying to put out their frequency and quantity would be crazy expensive.

that Well Fed detail had me rolling
I just noticed it the second time watching 😆
I don't know why but that was funniest part. 🤣
I agree, everything so wholesome till that “well fed” part got me laughing 😂
Same
This was the most touching scene from ShB 🥲🥲
Of the few times the WoL was served food before this scene, 1 ended with Rauhbans arm being cut off and the other ended with us being drugged... The last included a date night with Aymeric who ended up getting stabbed... Lol
So this really meant a lot to the WoL
Omg thats so true, no wonder we stopped eating in SB 🤣
Well that isnt true, we were offered a drink with Gogetsu and we all know how that turned out... until he was revealed to be alive still.
@@semekiizuio yeah there might be other minors scenes i may have forgotten where the WoL is explicitly seen eating food but those were the significant ones i remember off the top of my head LUL
and yeah, i dont remember any eating scenes in SB. LUL
Start of ShB the merchant guy offered us a drink, I'm still in mourning for him and his Chocobo.
In HW there’s a moment we are offered a drink in a tavern and it was laced with sleeping drugs
I remember that time when we were served food in HW.
I was like "no, you better not...OH...GDI! I told you NO!"
G'raha's face poking out from underneath his hood is the cutest thing I've ever seen in my life and I can't handle it.
You could do the reverse in Endwalker with the WoL making G'Raha a burger and it would basically be canon
Their friendship is beutiful
*Our
Romance*
is hot*
as the seven hells! ;)
Bromance*
Squeenix needs to hire this guy for face expression animation
They have a dedicated team specifically for facial expressions in Hildibrand quests
It just feels too right for the WoL to go: "This is fucking delicius dawg"
Please. Don't stop making these. These are fantastic.
If this actually happen the Exarch would implode right the moment WOL took a bite.
Also, have to go punch a wall cus this is cute and wholesome as hell.
Well technically he does give you the tabletop sandwich. So it's practically Canon anyways
Now I need this with Haurchefant and his cocoa
YES PLEASE.
Do not despair!You are not without allies. -Haurchefant
Like. No doubt. This is exactly how that felt.
The 'Can I see?' is the cutest thing ever lol. Watched this like 15 times
Hands down, this is exactly what happened in ShB XDD
Your videos always have me rolling in laughter. Keep up the amazing work!
Yeah Even Ardbert said.
Ardbert: Well he certainly is keeping you well fed.
That’s literally what happened in the game lol fantastic animation!!
I'm sorry but it's extremely funny to me that Meteor calls G'raha - a catboy - dog XD
I mean "what's up, cat?" seems odd compare to the word "what's up, dawg?"
@@LemonedIScream13 idk "cat" was a similar term like back in the 70's. "Cool cat" and all that.
Keep cooking cause this is some gourmet shit!
Amazing how people skip cut scenes like this and miss out on quality story telling. 😔
The fact people skip cutscenes at all bugs me.
Like, Why play a game thats story driven if you don't even read the story.

@@Firan25 because I enjoy this game for the pve/jobs/pvp, and I don't need the story to keep me in the game.

+1000% Homieship
*He* *made* *you* *a* *sandwich* *bro* .
don't forget the +3% exp

@@tylermalone6466 Fray just unable to contain herself and openly sobbing at the only humane gesture she/he/they've probably ever seen shown to the WoL.
I actually got a little teary-eyed over how sweet this is. ❤
I fucking love you BeneG!
I love YOU!
This happens every day for them. This is their reaction every time. No one can convince me otherwise.
Just absolutely adored the buff actually popping. 😂
I died when the + Well Fed appeared after the WoL took a bit of the sandwich
It's very lore accurate!
The animation of him biting the sandwich is what got me lmao "well fed"
"Can I see?"
I don't know why I find it so cute
The facial expressions are on point I fckn LOVE IT
I am so incredibly happy right now that you decided to go through with making this video, this is so damn wholesome. Amazing job as always, but every subtle movement in this animation was just so well done! Thank you for making these videos! ❤
Zero mediocre videos, all gold!
I love YOU animator 🥺
Lmao! I actually picked the Exarch when I did the MSQ. I love his character so much lmao! He's so SWEET!
If you strip out all the poise and just pull all the subtext to the front, this is 100% the character dynamic, just... 100%.
You made me cry over a meme while I'm eating chocolate ice cream. I won't forget this.
You do for FFXIV what countless legends did (and still do) for TF2 (and other Valve games) with their GMod & SFM animated videos.
Thank you so much for this, this is amazing and definitely needs more traction.
this is their entire dynamic in the whole game and I love it
This video more or less sums up the transition from Stormblood to Shadowbringers
After spending the last expansion being treated like a side character (while still doing all the heavy lifting), the story finally remembers that you're still a person who deserves be treated to simple delights like sandwiches and plenty of sleep every now and then

We love you man, for making these animations!
No one expects the Sudden Sammich.
Those eye movements are so good. Lord
YOU DID THE SCENE!!!
Bromance at it's finest
WoL running to get that sandwich!!
This brought tears to my eyes.
This is hilarious. I've seen the original and you nailed the feeling perfectly. I'm dying laughing.
I also just noticed the "Well Fed" and I'm laughing even harder now
I love how expressive this is. Especially that "... can I see?"
This animation is just as touching as the moment in ShB and I’m here for it 😂
I have watched this no fewer than 3x/day since it was posted
This is a masterpiece
I love all the friends and children I’ve adopted on this journey. The scions are my family including Tataru on of the only few Lalafell’s that I think are cool
What Krile is cool too
They could make the WoL canonically marry G’raha regardless of gender and I think the majority of the player base would be 100% okay with it.
WoL/Meteor deserves a hug man
"you made me a sandwich?" Like it was the first thing anybody has ever done for him i love this video dude
I can’t even begin to tell you how much I love this. 😂 Somehow it is simultaneously the most endearing and hilarious scene ever.
Please never stop making these
This is just awesome. Like I got nothing else to say it's just an absolute masterpiece.
I love the range of motions and expressions in your animations. So much better than a lot of professional animations. I hope you keep it up!
There should be one about a drink, since WoL has ptsd about drinking stuff since ARR. lol
this is one of the best things my eyeballs have ever witnessed
The well fed actually ended my existence XD
This is HILARIOUS but above all I'm impressed with the attention to detail in the animation, movement and expressions. There are so many subtle details that makes this video not only one of the funniest videos I've ever seen but also one of the most well done and amazing videos I've ever seen
Just perfect! Thank you! It’s put me a big smile on my face and I hit the button replay
This poped up in my recommendations and i thought it was just some shitpost, but is perfectly in line with hes character
I wish I had a friendship like this
You need more subscribers, I love these videos and this one is the best one yet.
This is 100% how the scene went.
This is very quickly becoming my favorite ff14 youtuber
HAHAHAHA. Graha is the music player. The music only plays once he sticks his head through the door
I love the original video so much. I'm so happy this exists
I remember seeing this on twitter, wondering if this would ever be animated. Thank you it's even better than I imagined.
The Well Fed buff!! Nice detail.
That well fed buff cracks me up
Someone said you got that special sauce and it's fucking true. Your animations are top notch
Now that’s real bromance
This was amazing! Thank you so much for brightening my morning ♥
and I love you BeneG.
This is beautiful.
this is how the conversation should be IRL
I'll admit the + well fed got me. The 'Crystal Exarch' way too precious
That sandwich means so fucking much bro ❤️
This is so well animated thank you for this blessing
Ardbert in the corner having a crisis about his world being on the fucking brink while the warrior of light enjoying some gourmet shit.
I just arrived at the point in the msq when Ardbert lets you know the exarch made you sandwiches and i had to drop everything and rewatch this like 5 times
WOL: Determination, critical hit, Vitality. It’s perfect, I love you bro.
Crystal Exarch: I love you to bro.
No clue why I never found this channel before. Keep it up!
THE WELL FED BONUS IM CRYING
Not gonna lie this was going though my head when I played this part I was near to tears at this point.
I love all your animations so much ahhhhhh they're always so expressive
Why is it that this stupid little skit makes me tear up every time? Hat's off, sir!
You have posted another one and I came hither, riding the lights of fiber optics. Now make more.
Omfg you have no idea how much happiness this brings me
Bro fuckin' never stop omfg I love this shit lmao
finally, quality content! there is hope!
New videos getting posted by you are routinely becoming the highlights of my day. Great work as always!
Those grill marks are impeccable
I want Ardbert and G'raha's vas to dub this scene.
I don't usually say things like this but this is how I will forever see this scene. Someone does something for the WoL with no prerequisites or strings attached. Just...here, I made you a sandwich. Our character is just so amazed he or she didn't have to kill a dragon for it.

I love how this isn’t story inaccurate, after the second warden you return to find sandwiches left for you in the inn room courtesy of the exarch
He made us a sandwich!!! We need to make him some burgers while on adventures!
You just earned yourself a subscriber because this is fucking GOLD! 😂
