"If you mean to impersonate a toad, try studying the real thing. And don't try to fool an expert" Literally one of the best characters in the expansion
@@Alen725 You're right he's a Zoologist. Remember Sharlyan is basically what Oxford or Cambridge would be if they were their own countries. The Gleaners are essentially scientists in the field.
@@TheFireDen I know right? That line was brilliant and has completely cemented itself in my brain. And it just makes complete sense, of course a gleaner would be one of the people who would be able to see through the ruse immediately, who else would take one look at 3 frogs grouped together staring at him and think, "hey, that is very unusual. I don't think frogs normally do this."?
The funniest thing about Estinein's horrible restraint with coin is that it either means he's only been given a small amount of coin at a time so he doesn't know what to do with a lot of it, or someone supervises him whenever he goes shopping. Either way Aymeric probably has something to do with it
I honestly don't think he ever shopped for himself. He didn't even own a hairtie, I suspect everything he has ever owned was given to him by his father figure and then by the state when he became the azure dragoon. He probably hunted and gathered while in the wild, and ate military food in the city.
Well, it's another thing Alphinaud and Estinien have in common. I do remember a small scene during Stormblood where Alphinaud was about to buy a sword for an extremely high price. XD
Other MMO NPC's: Oh yeah, hero. you MIGHT get violently ill! Hero in this case, after teleporting: "Alright, who's ready to acquire 20 bear asses?!" FF14 NPC: You MIGHT get violently ill. FF14 Hero after teleportation: **GETS SICK AF** This is why I love FF14 so much. even though you're a hero who's slain gods, devils and everything in between, when it makes sense for your character to suffer, they suffer like anyone else. 10/10 story-telling.
It's also interesting when you realize the WoL has a history of aetherial sickness. Hell, you literally start the game recovering from a bout of aetherial sickness. So it's even in character for you to get sick after teleporting.
@@Magemaddd It's even funnier because you're cracking up then realise "wait, how is he narrating that in real-time???". It was how I started to suspect the twist later on, lol.
"Its nothing that won't heal. In time." You hit the man in the face with a bladed lance! His face is gone! "Well, maybe he wanted a clean shave." He's dead!
My favorite parts of this expansion; Urainger being a dork, Alisae being a little shit, and Magnai getting denied because he has the personality of urine soaked sandpaper.
@@leanblasterex5240 Yea that's possible too. I didn't pay a lot of attention to what he had on his plate. I just noticed the pickle from Alisaie and then his weird reaction.
I still can't get over the fact that Y'shtola turned Alphinaud and Alisaie into frogs, Urianger, Thancred, and G'raha Tia collapsed from etherial sickness, and more.
I forgot I had wind-up G'raha out before the frog transformation, so that whole segment was just three suspiciously coordinated frogs chaperoned by a tiny catboy with a funny stick
@@MerDuke not off the top of my head, but if you go to the earring section for any job you should find them near the bottom of the list, since they are a lvl 1 item
You've certainly already found them, but for anyone else curious, they're called Purple Carnation Earring. They come in a bunch of other colours too, my bunboy wears the rainbow version.
What is the name of the music playing at 0:48? I've been compiling a list of smooth music to piss off a friend who claims that video game music can't sound good.
I clipped the magnai bit on my own playthrough but I messed it up and I only recorded myself laughing manically for 3 minutes and I've been wondering what even happened 🤣 so thank you for uploading this
I'll havta admit... I've not stopped back by the grapes to see how they've been reborn since the patch. I realize that was 3 patches ago but I... don't get out much lol
No.....Does he seriously react to the pickle!? I never fucking even noticed!!!!!! Welp....guess ill just have to replay the entire story again just to see it for myself.
@@elijahgrimm8052 no? tea and avatar of destruction is just after you rescue them from the first, its also where we re introduce G´raha as full time scion
I love grapes 🍇🍇🍇

I'll never forget the time we tried to fool a _biologist_ by pretending to be animals
"If you mean to impersonate a toad, try studying the real thing. And don't try to fool an expert"
Literally one of the best characters in the expansion
1. They are not biologists
2. He saw through behaviour, not frog biology.

Well Y'shotla's first and biggest mistake was thinking frogs and toads are the same thing. That's like calling a walrus a seal.
1:19 - the first and so far only voice acted line of dialogue by the Warrior of Light
But when we went against Hades, the WoL spoke right? Sure we heard Ardbert's voice but it came out of WoL's mouth.

Or he's so focused on being a dragoon that he never learned basic item value appraisal and probably doesn't even know what haggling is.

He mentions being poor growing up in a Cutscene so I can imagine having access to the Scion coffers is a real treat

Funny facts about the frog sequence. When you have the Koala-Minion it will sit on your frog head while transformed
Sharlayan will always be remembered for inventing the prism grape.
Literal eons of amazing discoveries and knowledge, and the most prominent thing is a new breed of grapes
@@nepspartan-7597 Maybe the grapes aren't new after all maybe these are the grapes Azem saved from the volcano!
This is canon BTW; they added a lamppost inspired by the low-poly grapes that has a description mentioning "blocky grapes" used for transport
1:58 I love that Emet stops when you collapse... he's watching from the underworld going, "God damnit WoL, you're interrupting my dramatic narration."
The fact that he repeats himself AGAIN before Urianger falls is just perfection
an Insidious foe...
AH YES, AETHERIAL SICKNESS!!! XD
He's a theater kid. The guy loves the drama and here he is trying to have a tragedy, while his star actor seems determined to make it a comedy!

Urine-Soaked sandpaper? Not sure if that is a brand new sentence or a rare insult. Either way, I love it.
@@Skijaramaz either way, it's not entirely inaccurate.
Magnai- I'm dead-
I know not this Magnai, I know only of Little Sun.
Urine soaked sandpaper is uh.... new. I'll say that. I mean. You're right
5:22 my boy is forever maidenless
It's ok. Eventually he'll grow a personality, once Sadu has roasted him enough and admits she likes the oaf.
@@elijahgrimm8052 Nah, gimme the lesbian couple with Cirina. Magnus gotta be humbled first then find someone else
@@iaxacs3801 I can see Sadu with Magnai, but yeah, Shes getting all the girls first even if she does give him the time of day. and thats canon.
@@iaxacs3801 yes. Call Sadu the tank cause she pulls every woman in a 2 mile radius (me included)
I was right there!!! 😂
Dragoons fear no man or beast. But those...things.
*Alchemists appear*
....*Dragoon leaps for the heavens*
The humor in Endwalker and its patches is on point
I fully expected Estinien to backflip out of the crowd at The Great Work 😂
He's not smart enough for that 🤣
His backflip was on cooldown.
4:22 - It took me a while to understand what he reacted to. It's actually the PICKLE!
I am prettttttty sure it was either the patisserie or fries that gottem stolen
@@leanblasterex5240 Yea that's possible too. I didn't pay a lot of attention to what he had on his plate. I just noticed the pickle from Alisaie and then his weird reaction.
Is that a cat joke?
Oooohhhh i get it is that
Cats scared by pickles
Nope, it's the cookie/cake he had on his plate that Alisaie snatched when he wasn't looking.
That hippity hop line aged so well with what happened in 6.1
3:05 Estinien finds himself as the survivor in a Bollywood production of Dawn of the Dead.
2:23 "i'm surrounded by idiots"
I still can't get over the fact that Y'shtola turned Alphinaud and Alisaie into frogs, Urianger, Thancred, and G'raha Tia collapsed from etherial sickness, and more.
It was absolutely hilarious 😂
wait when was g'raha sick?
I absolutely love the frouncil. NOthing better then a council of frogs starring intensly at a biologist. xD
Poor Magnai... 12 expansions from now he'll find his Nhaama and it'll be the greatest payoff in FFXIV history.
No Nhaama for him
At this point, I just want one good thing to happen for him. He’s been through enough verbal abuse.😂
He already found his Nhaama,but unfortunately,she's the Khatuun of the Dotharl... 😂😂😂😂
@@Spartan135At this point, I'm starting to think maybe she's the Azim and _he's_ the Nhaama.
He will f*cking die before ever finding his Nhaama, I can assure you that.
Queen Alisaie taking the pickles out of her burger was such an ICONIC moment 🖤✨
I forgot I had wind-up G'raha out before the frog transformation, so that whole segment was just three suspiciously coordinated frogs chaperoned by a tiny catboy with a funny stick
@3:50 Ah, so cat can haz cheezborger
Underrated video. I'M DYING of laughter! Thank you for making this!
Glad you liked it
Really? I dont think you died.
I swear the way they write one of the plot points will somehow be Magnai maturing and finally finding his moon.
The little sun will never find his Nhaama
@@TheFireDen Because his Nhaama only loves two things: Murder and women
I think itd be funnier if he remained forever maidenless
@@CrystalBearer20 This is true. Sadu is best murder-hobo wife.
teensy weeny touch of violent aetherial sickness has the same energy as a minor case if serious brain damage
4:34 "Thancred? Thancred?! THAAANCREEEEEEEEEEEEED???!"
4:35 I C O N I C
2:31 Etheirys’ first and last line of defence everybody
5:22 Let him have his Nhamma, dammit!
No Nhaama for the little sun
Magnai the maidenless 😂
OKOKOK the lala in the beginning is 100% working class and NOT a annoying Karen.
you're right, I'd be annoyed and tired as well if I had her job
Thancred's most dad moment ever was when he was sick on the bench laying back like that, 100% reminds me of my own dad 🤣🤣
The arrival of Thavnair always make me feel like a really, really hard end of party/hungover
I forgot about Magnai... xD That was great to end the video on!
I want karen lalafell’s earring.
you can buy those on the marketboard i think

It's called "Shade's Delight"
It legit looks like it could be a lantern from something like WoW, but with grape textures.
I clipped the magnai bit on my own playthrough but I messed it up and I only recorded myself laughing manically for 3 minutes and I've been wondering what even happened 🤣 so thank you for uploading this
These videos are extremely underrated and deserve a million more views!
Thanks!
So much of this could also be called "Cutscenes that enhanced Kay Dwessie's headcanon that Estinien is the only other one as autistic as she is"
dont forget about zenos!
Its the burger, the size of his head.
I have never been so quick to snap screenshots as I did during the aetherial sickness and alchemist/Estinien scenes. XD
G'raha can has cheezburger?
Watching this again makes me sad I won't experience Endwalker for the first time again.
Alchemist instant transmission lol
RIP Squapes
you seriously put the best grapes segment to the Guts Theme... where's that Like button so I can smash it?
3:50 yes, cat can haz chezborgar
Was that Berserk music during Grapedaelyn xD
yes it was lol
I'll havta admit... I've not stopped back by the grapes to see how they've been reborn since the patch. I realize that was 3 patches ago but I... don't get out much lol
They still look bad, but they're not pointy and funny anymore :(
No.....Does he seriously react to the pickle!? I never fucking even noticed!!!!!! Welp....guess ill just have to replay the entire story again just to see it for myself.
Back to ARR
He reacts to his cookies being gone. Alisaie ate them...
Watching Cirina use Gentle Parenting on sadu was peak.
I forgot about the frog stuff
Poor Little Sun
THIS IS THANCRED
I legit don't understand how that became a meme.. I was so disappointed when I learned where it was from :/
That burger was absolutely huge! I daresay it was bigger than G'raha's entire head!
still disapointed we didn't see puke of some sort during the transport misap
Awww you left out the avatar of destruction clip...
and the g'raha short joke...
I thought the Avatar of Destruction clip was last expansion.
