Along with saying some similar phrases, a bored seemingly immortal ruler / king, who can turn into a bird at will (Shoebill vs owl), and has seemingly infinite power, but is powerless against some mortals.

    Im gonna be honest, I feel like you dropped the ball with this one. Usually the ice burg videos are interesting to watch, but this one had a lot of dumb fan theories or things that are claimed to be theories that are explicitly shown. No one actually believes namazu are lalafell. Miqo'te dont have human ears. Yes Zenos killed himself and was later brought back due to experiments done on him. Meol is ground up sin eaters. Theres so much more interesting lore tid bits and developers facts you could have used for this video.

    Nanamo really died - This implies that nothing from heavensward onward happened at all and it was just a dream??? Whose dream

    1. The reason why Mor Dhona was placed in its category in teleport page is because of PS3 limitation. There weren't enough memory allocation.
    2. Speaking of PS3 limitation, the first Crystal Tower Raid has multiple zones which includes loading lines. This was placed because PS3 only had 256MB of available RAM.
    3. In another crystal tower raid series, Amon is Emet Selch. If you look closer, he does the iconic finger snap during one of the mechanic. This is also confirmed later in Shadowbringer by Emet Selch admitting he was somehow involved in Allag and the Crystal Tower.

    .
    .
    The fact that he's an alternate timeline version of himself isn't hidden information at all by the end of Shadowbringers, and is an integral part of the story. In 5.3, it is directly addressed that there are two of him and we even bring back his soul and memories to fuse with his original body after his Exarch body is consumed by the Tower.
    I think "Exarch clone" that deep on the iceberg has to mean something else, like maybe a theory that the Exarch is actually a clone of the original G'raha Tia who died in that timeline or something like that?

    Heya! Thanks for making this! If it's alright, just want to make a few clarifications and corrections. Any theories in these corrections are ones that have been disproven through the events of the story (likely after the original theories were posited), not to disagree with speculation and "this theory is stupid". Mainly doing this for my own catharsis. The video creator can probably ignore all of these if they want to. I'm not your dad. XD
    @2:20 - The section of the Gold Saucer with the mountain is known as the Round Square, not the Lone Square.
    @4:31 - The Tech Demo city was actually called Rapture and was revealed years before 1.0. The Crystarium is the main city in Shadowbringers that was based on Rapture's architectural design.
    @5:10 - While this may have been true in 2.0 with Ifrit, Garuda, and Titan, in many of the later fights, it is said in dialogue that you are fighting alongside other adventurers who happen to be nearby.
    @5:40 - The character in question's name is "Yugiri".
    @7:37 - Urth's Fount isn't a dungeon. Also, if memory serves, this was similar to the Proto-Ultima fight in Dun Scaith in which it was actually fought at the very first Fan Festival prior to its proper release in the game. As an aside, the Fanfest where Shadowbringers was revealed had a third event exclusive fight, which would later be introduced into the game proper as "Kugane Ohashi".
    @9:08 - Since we are going into spoiler territory with some of these entries, it should be mentioned that this theory started to lose relevance at the end of 5.0 and has been disproven as of the events of Patch 5.3.
    @9:26 - Quasi-Disproven as of the events of the 4.X Patch Cycle. He did die here, but then his body was repurposed by an Ascian and his soul was put into a random Elezen, but then by the end of 5.0, he managed to get his body back.
    @10:22 - This has also been disproven. Not so much by the game's story, but moreso by those who have gone into the nitty-gritty of the Miqo'te character models to find that nothing resembling human ears exist on the models.
    @14:50 - This has been debunked in the sense that it's a subgenre of music and that neither Powerman 5000 nor Soken owns the concept of "Muttering lyrics, then breaking out into a scream accompanied by Techno".
    @15:12 - This can be debunked in a number of ways. First, camera angles can change depending on the race you play, further tweaked through camera settings. Second, there are fights in FFXIV where altitude toes come into play, such as the Catastrophe fight in the second Omega Deltascape raid fight. Third, and more poignantly, both flight and swimming is found in the game. As for whether altitude affects Dragoon Jumps or not is a different story entirely.
    @15:43 - I didn't see any argument in this section that the Exarch is or has a clone. In the story, it is deduced that the lock on the Crystal Tower was broken by Garlond Ironworks, who released G'raha Tia from a proper temporal stasis (which allowed the various bosses in Syrcus Tower, such as Glasya Labolas, Amon, and Xande himself to survive as if they'd never aged a day while also never setting foot outside the tower prior). Working with the Ironworks team, G'raha used the Tower to travel time and space to The First. And while merging partially with the Tower did slow his aging, he's still the same character, and in fact, in 5.3, when his body is claimed entirely by the Tower, his mind and soul are put into his past self on The Source. No clones here, just temporal counterparts!
    @16:15 - The name of the duty is "Stone, Sky, Sea". As for the specific values of the Striking Dummies, there is a belief that the striking dummies in Stone, Sky, Sea are relative to a player's Job. More specifically, their role, as it would be extremely difficult if not impossible for Tanks or Healers to compete with damage values put out by DPS jobs.
    @19:05 - There is a valid explanation for this that applies to a lot of instanced content you can also encounter in the game: Time Bubbles. As you, the player, are THE Warrior of Light in your adventure through the story. Every time you are matched in any duty, including Guildhests, it exists in a singular brief moment in time. The reason you see no one else doing them is because, in essence, the fight already happened, you are the one who the story says participated in the fight, and so if you see no one and you never did the fight, it's because the fight hasn't happened yet. If you see no one and you did the fight already, it's because the fight already happened.

Most people didn't know that Cid originally lacked facial hair because that was his appearance in 1.0 and before the Seventh Umbral Calamity. It's explained during the 2.0 MSQ that Cid was traumatized by the events of the Calamity and suffered from amnesia as a result, going under the name Marques after he was found by Father Illuid in East Thanalan.
    Oof, these pronunciations. Au Ra is pronounced just aura. Ryne is pronounced rin.
    That's not the succubus, that's Queen Scathath, the second to last boss in Dun Scaith. The succubus can still be fought
    Killing Titan that fast isn't exactly iceberg worthy status. You can do this to any ARR boss unsynced at Lv 80 with a strong enough weapon.
    Warrior of Light being a primal that was being tossed around in the early days. We eventually would get _a_ Warrior of Light as a primal, but it's not your character. The calamity was in reference to something that was hinted at in A Realm Reborn and later Heavensward when characters were talking about the balance of light and darkness. As we later learn, this is somewhat true but it was initially understood as if doing too much good would destroy the world and you being so powerful at this point would have repeated it. Instead it was in reference to light and darkness as primordial elements instead of good vs evil.
    Yeah no, Miqote do not have human ears. One shaven hairstyle available to most races, including Miqote, lets your see the full outline of their head and it shows they have nothing on the sides of their heads
    The so-called Toto-Rak remix is actually the normal dungeon theme used in 1.0
    The Black Crystal on Thancred's body was destroyed at the end of 2.0. Lahabrea spends the rest of 2.0 recouperating from his injuries and he dies before Thancred returns in Heavensward.
    The theory makes no sense considering Thancred's ladies man attitude was at its most prominent in 2.0 and never sired any children. His aether flow being damaged has nothing to do with infertility and given what we later learn of him, he would have avoided having children so as to not complicate his work because he had a tendency to _overwork_ himself.

      I completely understand where you're coming from. I don't normally even reply or share this much but I'm apparently feeling social. So if you want personal, here it is!
      I have big plans for my channels when I move into my new place. Until then I'm forced to work with what I have available to me. But this is only the rough and rocky beginning.
      My goal has always been to deliver information and content that I find interesting. I rarely share my own opinion and I obviously don't show my face or personal aspects. I'm kind of just neutral faceless voice delivering research about people's passions. I'm not exactly Mr. Personality, charming and full of charisma haha.
      And the hate comments about pronunciation/delivery are ever-present whether I record or not. And since my living situation doesn't allow for quality recording right now, this just made sense. I recognize it's not perfect, but it's currently my best option to make content. I'd rather make slightly subpar content than no content at all. And even though I want the best possible content, I still have to make end's meet.
      I'm at this for the long-haul though. I plan on continuing to improve, grow, and share my interests and creations with the world. So while it may not be optimal right now, it's only going to get better, and I'm 150% committed to this. And this is only the metaphorical tip of the iceberg for the content I want to create. I have a ton of other projects in the planning phases that I'm excited to get to work on and share with everyone.
      I appreciate the feedback. And I understand if you don't wish to watch my videos. I don't watch them after I edit them either ha. And soon there will be a pretty big revamp with the whole channel. I'm just getting my ducks in a row.
      But I'm grateful that you took the time to voice your feedback in a constructive and thoughtful manner. Cheers. 🥂

      @@Maker1 Cool to see you replied. I know you may not think you have much personality, but I enjoyed your voice in your SMRPG and FF2 iceberg videos. Especially FF2, you sounded enthusiastic. To be fair, I probably wouldn't have even thought about how your voice is good if it wasn't for the whole TTS thing. As for mispronounciations, we all do that, don't let it get to you too much. Good luck with your channel and revamp though, i'll check on your channel every once in a while to see when you stop using the AI. At least for me it ruins the video since it's scratchy. I'd rather you would have just used one of the normal TTS voices that everyone has used for years since they always sound pretty clear and don't have the "scratchiness" or "fuzziness" of AI.

    well... about the warrior of light and this would be super SPOILERS so dont read the rest of my comment until you finish 5.3!
    To answer the iceberg the "Warrior of Light" is a broad term that refers to legends of a selfless altruistic adventurer who did countless good deeds in service of light's name sometimes even sacrificing his or her own life in the process.
    many would come to possess this title but only one in particular stood out above them all he was ancient man from a lost civilization known as Amarout he had been know as "Azem" a former member of the governing body of Amarout know as the Convocation. this man was well respected and revered amongst his peers garnering even the admiration of the convocation's chosen leader at the time Elidibus who aspired he would one day be just like Azem, but regrettably that dream never came to pass but those memories carried over to the convocations' created primal version of Elidibus, who took it upon himself to summon a visage and avatar of light sporting the same looks and design of the poster boy hero of the original Final Fantasy game who was simply known as the "warrior of light"

      @SubduedRadical 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hm...sort of.
      Don't forget that Elidibus was the FIRST Warrior of Light, not Azem, and the one that started the legend. He also periodically took on a persona and was a Warrior of Light over and over again throughout history.
      Azem's soul shards is/are (theorized) to be a recurring reincarnation that is an influential Warrior of Light through the ages, but Elidibus is the same person and has never died (until...well, you know). Thus they've both (theorized) been the Warrior of Light through different ages, though Elidibus was the first and was the same person playing different parts, unlike Azem's (theorized) shards which actually lived and died and were reborn later.
      It should also be noted that there are more than one Warrior(s) of Light. For example, 1.X players are Warriors (plural) of Light, and Ardbert and his party were also Warriors of Light who had their special Crystals to prove it. Unulakai and the woman who would become...uh, you know (IF you did all the Role quests in ShB and the bonus one, anyway) were also Warriors of Light from the 13th that fell to become the Void.
      So Azem is/was not the only Warrior of Light - through history nor in the present day. And Elidibus, in fact, was the FIRST Warrior of Light.

      @@SubduedRadical Oh there is no question that "Elidibus" started the story i need to make a correction in your comment tho you left out an important detail about "elidibus"
      the Elidibus of the past and the one we know are in fact NOT the same individual from Amarout :) the Elidibus of the past was a young prodigy who lead the group in theory.. (Lahabrea seems to be the actual leader in most instances even going so far as to council and advise Elidibus at times) this Elidibus gave his life up so Zodiark could be born, the "elidibus" we then know is a primal that was willed into existence by the members of the convocation (not including Azem who defected) to act as a counter balance to Zodiark's tempering acting as a mediator between the forces of light and forces of dark.
      the "elidibus" with which we are acquainted with is only the memories of the previous title holder and not the actual person. note while he says "i withdrew myself from zodiark for them.." this is a false statement he was saying this line as again the "memories" of the previous Elidibus came flooding into his collective mind.
      remember what Y'shtola said: "such a cacophony of voices.. how can you be certain the voice you speak with is that of your own?"

    50th percentile is, by definition, the median (which is close enough to average in a normal distro) so blues are actually above average, and greens just below average. Purple is past that, and orange is the top 10 percentiles. Above that is pink (99th) and orange (100th). 0 (which means you're both the worst parse and there's a calculation error) is still grey.

      @@SaloMatt that one was weird to me because they basically redid the whole game - though it's fair to note that the Black Shroud WAS more changed than anything else. Like, almost nothing is the same and some areas even aren't where they should be (in terms of north/south/east/west) from 1.X to 2.X+. The other regions they tended to keep things MORE OR LESS where they were originally (or destroyed them totally), but the Black Shroud had some places disappear entirely and others move around or even take new forms.
      ...except Thousand Maws. That's apparently identical, though obviously now instanced (you can even see the collapsed tunnels that went to the 1.X areas). I think the only other thing that did that was Cutter's Cry and Dzmael Darkhold...I think? They even put on the map the 1.X areas that you can't go to in that faded/washed out color, but you can see the entire 1.X dungeon on the map today.
      Some areas were relatively unchanged before and after, and they remade Gridania and Ul'dah VERY faithfully to the originals, even the parts you can't go to. Gridania had a number of changes, though, and the Black Should is completely unrecognizable with only the Slyphlands maintaining that kind of feel, and even not fully.
      So I think it IS fair to say that the Black Shroud, in particular, had a total rework.
