Good evening, Eorzeans. Welcome to
Speakers of Eidolon, episode 479. I'm Lukile Bravestone,
and I'm joined today by Gyorgy Wystan, Maela
Vanadar, and Rollo Des. Oh, did you change up
your room today? Is there, like, new stuff in
the background there? Oh. You get the... Oh,
yeah, yeah. This is the shovel. It's always been...
This happened a while ago, but yes. Oh, also
my camera. It was there last week, Rolo. It was
supposed to be like... There you go. Well, now...
The lava lamp. I need to shift to shimmy. All
right. You need to shimmy. Welcome to episode
seven... Sorry, not 700. 479. What are you to
this, guys? It's our seventh episode. November
the 15th, 2025. um today not a lot has happened
this week i'll be i'll spoil the episode a little
bit but we are going to talk about the patch
the massive mammoth of a patch known as patch
7 .38 i've barely been able to put it down right
right yeah i've been playing non -stop crazy
yeah in there we'll also be talking about the
upcoming moogle treasure trove um That's exciting.
Yes. That is always exciting. Remember when it
used to be, it started off so humble, so shit,
but now it's like, wow. Really? I thought we
liked the first one, though. No, it was good,
but you remember when they added the UI? That
was when it was like, wow, now we're something.
And we did like it when it first started. It's
just like, you like a lot of things when they
were shit, and then they're later improved. You
just don't realize how much better they could
be. Yeah, that's true. And we'll be reading your
mock mail. My background's all fucked up. I hope
you can't see my underwear. I think I have some
lying behind me or something. I'm still unpacking.
We don't really see it now. If you see my unmentionables,
I'm sorry. Someone's just like desperately looking
now. It's like, oh, please, the blur. Don't look
at my Costco Kirkland underwear. Taking screenshots,
running it through some AI to de -blur it. His
jockstrap. ChatGPT, add dirty underwear in the
background. On his head. ChatGPT won't... ChatGPT
will not do that. No, it will not. No, thank
God. Thank God. It has some fail -safes. There
are other places you can go if you really want
to. Yeah, Photoshop. Like a real man. Yeah, that's
right. That's right. It's work, Rollo. I actually
have to learn how to do something. Back in my
day... Yeah, back in my day, I had to work for
my degeneracy. We'll also be reading your MOG
mail. Send us more at speakers .sav .com slash
MOG mail. And stay tuned for the post. We'll
be answering questions from the syndicate. That's
that. We have one question from the syndicate
to spoil the post show as well. So look forward
to that. Okay. Well, that's that. Let's jump
into the actual show. It's time for Recent Events.
I had a moment where I forgot what buttons to
press. In recent events, we'll start off with
exciting news. New optional items are available,
as you can see, my favorite. Me like hot pot.
Me like... Misa like hot pot. Me like hot pot.
Oh my god, I forgot that we... Remember when
we first saw it when it was announced in China,
this hot pot? Yeah. It's so fucking spicy. Like,
it will kill you. Well, yeah. It will kill you,
Guilo. You can't handle this shit. There's the
Guilo creamy side, and then there's the hardcore
spicy side. Yeah. The hovering hot pot, account
wide. Not garish, not gaudy, very nice and pretty.
Absolutely horrible. Gorgeous mount. A dire light
on the land. We saw it yesterday when we did
PvP. I don't know if you guys noticed. Oh, someone
had it. Yeah, someone saw it. It was very good.
Of course someone had it. There are whales out
there. Oh, yeah. I think my favorite part, looking
very quickly at the online store page for it,
the subtitle on the second picture they have
here, it says, great from every angle. Discover
a new you. It's right underneath there again.
What the hell? Great from every angle. Discover
a new you. Are you aware that you're writing...
Is this AI? Is this AI? No. I don't understand
how you would get that from AI with this content.
It just makes no sense. Well, they fired, like,
everybody, so I guess, you know, they had, I
don't know. Well, don't you want the law? Long
ago, when a ritual cauldron was accidentally
used to cook dinner for the Lord of Lientia,
a strange phenomenon occurred which saw the vessel
rise into the air, like the fiery wheels of divine
legend. Remember that other ugly thing from the...
Oh, yeah. Thereafter, subsequent generations
of rulers took to filling the cauldron with various
delicacies, which they enjoyed even as they hovered
in the heavens. What morsels lie beneath... the
surface of the mild broth and spice -laden soup.
Oh, so it's got a mild side and a spicy side.
Hold fast to your ladle and stir well lest the
bubbling pot burn. The thing I want to know about
this is the design of its yin and yang. Yes.
Which is there is always a little bit of good
in every even. There's always a little bit of
even in every good. What's the little bit of
spicy in the mild broth and what's the little
bit of mild in the spicy broth? You know. I don't
care. And it's also powered by Etherite. It's
powered by Etherite, yeah. It's got an Etherite
bottom. Unbelievable levels of xenophobia today.
Don't care about traditional Chinese hot pot.
I'm just here to learn. I'm just here to learn,
Ron. I have a friend that refuses to go to...
There's a hot pot place that we used to go with.
And he refuses to go because he doesn't, he does
not believe in the concept of making, of you
having to do the work for the food. He thinks
it's work, you know, when you put the meat in
the hot pot. That's work for him. Okay? I'm calling
you out. It's cheaper because of that then, so
it's fine. It's fun though. It's fun. That's
what I'm saying. It's just a fun thing. Yeah,
I disagree with him, but I do. I get it. I think
it's weird, but I get it. It's the most, like,
boomer thing ever. Like, I go to a restaurant,
I want them to cook for me. I don't want to cook
my food. That's true. You don't have to worry
about germs, though, because there's not a thing
alive that can survive the heat of those broths.
You can sneeze on them, and I'll be fine. Also
worth mentioning is that the Omega M and F hair
is available as well as new hairstyles. Also,
sorry, the hot pot, just to mention very quickly,
it's £13 .80. It's an account -wide one, which
is good. USD, that is $24. So get that if you
like hot pot. I think any mount that's not a
seasonal event mount or one of the very early
mounts they put on the shop is... account wide
it tends to be the hairstyles in particular the
male one well both of them but the male one especially
to me looks really highlights the five head of
some of these races yeah yeah it um it looks
interesting I'll say that. I think it works for
some races better than others. I actually think
it looks really good on Hrothgar because it matches
the sort of wild aesthetic of, like, natural
Hrothgar hairstyles rather than the ones that
they had to... retrofit for it for them I saw
like a small screenshot of it before like you
know the big before I got a proper look at it
and for like when I squinted and I saw it a little
bit I thought it was like the fuck me up haircut
again I thought it was like another fuck me up
just fuck my shit up haircut yeah looks alright
it looks terrible on LFL Does it? Yeah. The female
one? No, the male one. Oh, the male one. The
female one that said Count Lala. Okay. No one's
going to get this reference here, but people
in chat will if they've seen it. It looks like
from JoJo Part 4, Diamond is Unbreakable, when
Koichi fucking like levels up and he gets like
the Goku hair. That's what it looks like when
it's on a Lala felt specifically. There you go.
There you go. I see. Yeah, people get it. They
know what I mean. Yeah. Well, there you go. That's
five bucks each or £3 .60. Yeah, that's a bit.
Yeah. $10 for both. If you want everything, I
mean, that's how much, how many dollars was it
for the... That's about... $36? $25, $30 for
both, I guess. Which is actually 100 % reasonable
to be expected to pay for a game that you're
paying a subscription for. I just saw a flyer.
The hairstyle is not account -wide, isn't it?
I think they are account -wide as well, yeah.
So I think, yeah. You'll be able to play it on
your next character. Maybe on the hair, then.
Yeah, I thought the hairstyles were only, like,
one character each. It's not a... It's not an
alt -friendly game, though, so... No. Yeah. It's
not allowed to play other characters. I mean,
how dare you? I just know we talked about it
before. It doesn't, you can't compare them really,
but there's still that part of my brain. That's
like, I can get a real hot pot for that price.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like I know it's, I'm comparing
a digital item to a fucking actual labor. And
you can't really, but there's still that party
that's like, I can buy the virtual pizza in Final
Fantasy XIV that runs out. Or I can buy a real
pizza. That also runs out. That runs out. I get
actual nourishment from it. You're sitting there
starving in your apartment buying, spending your
last dollars on this fake hot pot. I know this
isn't the logic they have for why these hairstyles
are on the cash shop. But the one I've been justifying
to myself internally is that, like, Yoshi P is
ashamed of these hairstyles and he doesn't want
to, like, put them in the game itself because,
like, he feels bad making it seem like that's
what your subscription fee has gone to. So this
way, you only have to be subject to it if you
are willing to pay more. I see. I see. Yeah.
I mean, I can believe it. Yeah. But it's like...
They've gone to the effort to add in an old thing
to Evil East Raids. It would have been great
if they'd gone to add these to the old Omega
series, you know, as a reward, but... Remember,
he has to fight the cash -on lady. I know, the
evil woman. And this is the compromise that they
came to, I guess. That's fair enough. I mean,
I don't like paying the price for the mounts,
but if it's one that I think looks really cool,
I'm okay with it every now and then. I think
this looks bad, so I won't buy it. I don't think
I've ever bought a mount from the monk station.
I got a wedding mount. That counts. Mailer and
I have. I'm pretty sure Lakil has, yeah. Which
is weird, because he always just uses his legacy
chocobo. Yeah, well, it was the first... I've
only bought one mount, and it's the ugliest mount
in the game. And it's the... Well, no, actually,
I think it might have competition. Be careful
now. No, it's the fat chocobo. Oh, the fat chair?
The Moogle. The fat Moogle. It was the first
two -person mount. That's lovely. Oh, yeah. I
love going around in a fat Moogle. That's not
lovely. That's a fucking... It's got a big ass
in the air. It's so ugly. The one I almost bought
was a cruise... I almost bought a cruise chaser,
but I was like, it's stupid. I don't think I
have it, but I do like it. But again, any of
the ones where you look through them, cruise
chaser, Sleipnir, the shadow wolf, things like
that. Should have been in the game, 100%. But
ones like the Mary Poppins umbrella, the hyper
-realistic cat, the weird wheels and stuff, the
ones that don't really fit into the game, fair
enough. I mean, the fight's lost anyway. It don't
matter no more. None of this matters, man. No,
it doesn't. When it looks like it's been clearly
cut from real content to add to the store, it
feels bad. But otherwise, it's whatever. What
about this hot pot mailer? We had... This has
no place in the game, so it's technically fine.
No, it's very... It's Doman -esque. Come on.
Where would it go? Doman Castle? No, in the Doman
Enclave quest. Oh, when you finish the quest,
you get this? Yeah. What did it say? Where did
that description I said that it came from? It's
from Yensha. Yeah. Okay. That's optional items.
Go get them if you want, I guess. Now let's talk
about Moogle Treasure Trove, which is coming
up. The Hunt for Revelation. We might as well
show this on screen, actually, when we're here.
Get that up here. In a second. So it's back.
We're doing Revelation now. Yeah, I don't remember.
Was that Stormblood or Shadowbringers? No, I
think we're already into Shadowbringers. Yeah.
Oh, the bun. Yeah, I mean, I've loved the food.
It's booze. It's a booze. I've really liked the
food earrings so far. I don't like this one because
it's a bit of a shapeless blob, but I mean, it's
cute, I guess. Maybe if it had a bite taken out
or something. I don't know. Tombstones of Revelation
are from patch 5 .4, so we're about to go into
Endwalker with the next series. We're catching
up. We're skipping a couple of them, haven't
we? Yeah. No, we haven't skipped any of them.
What will they do when they catch up? We haven't?
Oh, okay, never mind. What will they do when
we catch up? Don't know. They'll have to come
up with new special tombstones just like the
Moogles have. Well, no, they can probably use
the tombstones that you use to upgrade weapons.
That's true, yeah. Yeah. This starts on November
18th. Starts at 8 a .m. GMT. That's 7 p .m. Australian
Eastern time. That's this Tuesday, isn't it?
So finally there'll be a reason to log in. Yeah,
until the release of patch 7 .4. Yeah, it's weekly
reset time. Yeah. Perfect. That's some cool stuff.
I've never looked that close at the Tinkerbell
minion before. It's nice, isn't it? Really, I
was going to say it's more unnerving and close
up to me. She's got a little bell fairy. She's
got mostly bell, yeah. Let's see. I don't want
to touch her little bell ringer thing. I don't
think you should touch that. Her bell end? No,
don't touch her bell end. Don't touch her bell
end? Okay. We know all this. I'm trying to get
to the... There we go. So there's the booze airing.
That's the chase piece. Yeah. You can also get
the Porksy earring, which is now... That's returning,
isn't it? I think so, yeah. I don't remember
when it was, but it was a while back. Yeah, I
don't remember when... Because then they started
doing the food one, so Porksy was quite old.
Yeah. I mean, I feel like that's fine now at
this point. There's so many unique... As long
as they don't stop making unique earrings, because
that's like the one... Exactly, yeah. They have
here. That's new There's like a ton of like unused
earrings. I think yeah, if you look at like garland
tools or something I think they're set for a
while. Yeah, they are. Yeah. Yeah, they are prepared.
They are this one didn't look like it took too
long to churn out Yeah, not it's super hard to
make to the just no I think they're all probably
scaled down food items that are already in the
game anyway Well, yeah, we did get well like
the doughnut. They're going down. Oh, yeah Yeah,
so it's pretty easy. Yeah. The Porksy Earring
is 50. So that's the big one. The Booze Earring
is 100. And then we have the other stuff at 50,
which is Porksy Earring's Gwibber of Light. That's
worth it. No, it's Warrior of Light. Sorry, Warrior
of Light. The Gwibber Days. Yeah, that's new
this time, I think. Yeah. I don't think they've
done that Gwibber yet. So we can finally get
all the Gwibbers. Ballroom Etiquette Excessive
Petticoats, which used to be worth a lot back
in the day. Is that the one from... That's Sweat.
It's from Pagos or Pyros. It's one of the Eureka
ones. Modern Aesthetics Fashionably Feathered,
which is the PvP hair, I think. That's my character's
hairstyle. You can get that with 18 ,000 wolf
marks, so don't bother. Not a good deal. It's
much easier. Oh, yeah, don't have to say if it's
a good deal or a bad deal on each item. Yeah,
this one's a bad deal. This is a bad deal. So
far, good deal, but this one's a bad deal. Also,
check the price for excessive petticoats because
they used to be worth a lot, but if it's dropped...
I would assume it's still high for that. I imagine
it's high. So if you're very quick, if you want
to make a quick buck, no, I don't know if it's
worth trying to race to get this because the
price is going to drop so fast. No, people will
make money for a while. I think. Yeah, I think
it's pirates. No, excessive petticoats right
now on Chaos, the cheapest is 77 ,000 gil. Don't
buy it quickly. Don't even wait. Go buy it. Yeah,
buy it now. No, do wait. Do wait, do wait, because
heaps of people will buy it, and then, yeah,
exactly. Oh, that's true, and then try and sell
it for, what, 50 ,000? Yeah, like, yeah. The
price is probably gonna drop. I would say this
is, like, is it a good deal? I don't think it's
a good deal. It's slash Shiver, by the way. Yeah.
Oh, is it Shiver? I don't think it's a good deal
anymore. Oh, so that's Pagos, then. Oh, is it?
Oh, yeah, because it's excessive pedicure. Yeah,
yeah, yeah. This one was the, um, this one was
worth a heck of a lot. That's the one that I
remember, yeah, yeah. It was worth millions back
in the day. Yeah. Wait, no. People hated Pagos.
Shiver! Mm -hmm. Yeah, it's the... No, this is
slash sweat. If you highlight it, it will lead
you to the page for slash sweat. No, this is
sweat. It does say sweat, Mailer. Why are you
gaslighting us? Oh, sorry. I've searched for
insufficient petticoats. Yeah, because that's
the one. Yeah, that's the opposite. Wrong petticoats,
man. These are wrong petticoats, dude. Okay.
Sorry, this one you can't buy. You can't buy.
Excessive petticoats is not even purchasable.
Oh yeah, unsellable. Market prohibited. This
is definitely worth it. I highly recommend it.
Good deal. Good deal. This is a good deal. Oh,
this one I have already because I actually...
I did pay. I think this one... And I was lucky.
I think you could get this from... Heaven on
High? Really? It's added as a draw. It says Empyrean
Pot Shards on console games. Oh! And then it
was also a two previous irregular tombstone events.
But it confirms it's also in Pyros. No, no, no.
Only from Heaven on High. What? Why do I have
it? You might have got it from a previous tombstone
event. It was from two previous events of this.
Oh, that's probably why. What an annoying emote
to have such similar names. Okay, I see. So that's
the sweat emote. Because you've got lots of clothes
on or not enough clothes on. Yeah, right. Okay,
anyway, so good deal. Fought it, good deal, yeah.
Don't be afraid, orchestrion roll. Where's that
from? That's... Or sorry, not Shiva, Cloud of
Darkness. No, it's not. Eden. Yeah, it's Eden.
Is it Cloud of Darkness? I thought it was Litany.
Which is worth over a million, so maybe a good
deal. Don't be afraid. That's Eden's promise.
Yeah, that's an eight theme, so... Yeah, if...
Yeah, if you don't want to buy the marker board
or you don't want to farm for it, it's a mill
usually. There you go. Definitely a good deal.
Tinker's Bell. This is from Archeotania. Okay,
so this is unsellable. If you don't want to farm
Archeotania, which is a little bit annoying at
this point, I think it's worth it. I would say
it's worth it for 30. It's worth it. We're dropping
down to the... Yeah, now we're down to the 30
tier, so... That's probably worth it. I would
say so. I'd probably get that. Yeah. Is it bicolored
gems, some are saying? No, arcutania. Okay. Horns.
Red mage... Which is one of the world fates.
It was the one in the Tempest? Yeah, it's the
one in the Tempest, right. There you go. Red
mage barding. This is from Animal Sloth Boxes.
Yeah. So, red... I don't know how much that's
going for on the market. I don't know how much
it sells for. You can't sell it, so this is the
only way to get it. Yeah. It's just animals,
though, so if you already have it on lock, you
could just go in there and get a couple of blocks.
It's not so hard, but... That's true. It's only
30, so if you're feeling lazy... Yeah, I got
some spare. Yeah, sure. Parasol? If you don't
have it by now, if you played even a little bit
of animals, you should have it. Parasol is for
1800 Skybuilder scripts. It's not hard to get
that. I think it's easy to do it that way. It
also means a couple hundred thousand if you really
want to get it. It's one of the ugliest umbrellas
anyway. It's just a standard. That's true. I
mean, if you... I think this might be... I think
possibly, yeah. I mean, it is just called a parasol.
Yeah. I mean, a lot of these, if you have excess...
excess tombstones at the end of the event and
nothing to use them on. Feel free to buy anything
that you don't have. 100%. This is when all of
the good rewards stop, more or less. It's when
they just didn't know what they were doing. You
just get these if you don't have... If for some
reason you don't feel like farming any of this
or making it, it's... Yeah, two pieces of the
Crescent Moonsat, even though the best piece
of the Crescent Moonsat is the little knight
hat. The hat. That's the Sleepytime hat. Yeah.
I love that hat. The Sleepytime T -Bear hat.
Yeah, but everything else is kind of black. Yeah.
Well, the reason it's not the hat is because
there's two types of hats, but people will all
just want the cone hat with the bobby at the
end. Yeah. Platinum card, MGP. That's 50 ,000
MGP for 30. Probably not worth it for 30 tones,
but again, if you've got... Excess. I mean, yeah,
30 isn't super hard to get with how many bonuses
they have now for certain reliance. True. Yeah.
50k is a decent amount. It's a hard farm, but...
Yeah. They have the Laurel Gobu Horn, which is
the... These are the tribe ones. The Elves! Well,
yeah, the Laurel Gobu and the Elves Horn. Yeah.
If you're too lazy, yeah, sure, but... I've never
liked that they put them on here. personally.
To be fair, everything does get triumphed or
trumped by the maps that you can get. If you've
already got the exclusive stuff, you should probably
just focus on using it to get maps. Yeah, true.
There's the old Kamui. If you haven't gotten
them at this point, it's still worth it. Legendary
is Shinryu, Auspicious is Byaku. Yeah, you can
unsync them super easy now these days. Except
I think Byakko's a little weird, but... Byakko's
still annoying. Yeah. He has the middle face.
Yeah, that's true. Yeah. It took a ton of damage
when he grabbed you, I think. Yeah. There's the...
That's true. There's the Kwe Kwe Clock, which
is a cuckoo clock. That's cute. There's some
housing items, essentially. Yes. They're quite
nice ones. Like, the eastern canopy bed's pretty
cool. Yeah. Ivy Curtain's not too bad. These
are 20, by the way. What makes the parfait so
wondrous? It's not been eaten by Ronald yet.
It's got plenty of fresh fruit. I don't eat any
FC food. Why do you keep saying that? You did
once, Rollo. You ate the Starlight Dodo. I had
one piece. One piece of it. You took the one
piece of the one collectible food item we had
in the house. We had so much food in the house,
you chose to eat from the one thing. This is
the greed the Bible warns about. We'll never
let that go, Rollo. That'll always hang over
you. Yeah, I get so exaggerated. By the way,
when you think of Parfaits, do you think of Shrek?
I always think of Shrek. Shrek? You think of
Shrek? You think of Shrek? Why? Because Donkey
talks about parfaits at one point. Oh. That's
where I learned what a parfait was. Okay. I'll
take your word for it. Yeah. No. Parfaits are
messy. I find them very, they're very. A little
messy. There's a lot going on. They have cream
on top, don't they? Yeah. That's true. It's overwhelming.
I'd rather just like a sundae maybe or just an
ice cream. Yeah. Ivy Curtain. Don't get the Ivy
Curtain, dog. Not from here. They're not worth
the 20. Where does the Ivy Curtain come from
otherwise? It must just be crafted. I think it's...
Oh, it is a crafting recipe. It's an alchemist
crafting recipe. Oh, crafted. Don't do it. Oh,
you're thinking of like the hedge wall, aren't
you? Yeah, yeah. That's actually still... I wouldn't
say it's super valuable, but it is still relatively
valuable for the price that it is. For how you
obtain it, I should say. Okay, and now we're
on the $15, the 15 tomes section. Wind up Sahagin,
which is from the... Tribes? Societies? I mean,
at the time they're relevant, they're tribes,
I guess. Well, no, they're all... date into sahagin
quests now but to society quest now sorry yeah
they said all of them to say society must be
strange when everyone in the game at the time
is called like super aggressive like in the text
it's like you're fucking beast tribe and it's
like alliance quest except not worth it again
do the do the quests unlock them properly and
then there is the The head paces and the body
paces of the Warg set, which all come from the
Grand Cosmos. I will honestly not say these are
worth 15. These are very popular, though. I remember
these. They are very popular, and if you don't
want to farm them, which can be annoying still,
I understand why you would just get them. Yeah,
there's no guaranteed drops in Capstone Dungeons,
remember that? So if you really want this for
a glam, because they'll be unlocked soon. Might
actually be worth it. And they're all essentially
the same. Because, yeah, so you could... I'm
pretty sure some of the... A lot of these sham
models... The chess pieces are a little different.
No, they don't. The warg set is new and unique.
It looks similar. I understand that it looks
similar, but it is different. The warg set is...
I think it's a recolor of Stormblood Dungeon
from the mountain one with Monkey Kid. No. Is
that not it? That's... That's a different set.
Oh, no. That's recolored in... I can't remember.
Tower of Zot. Tower of Babel. The recolor of
that is in... The Bonewick. That's something.
I'm sorry. Amazing heals on that set, by the
way, if you want some cool heals. So there you
go. I'm okay on these ones. I've always hated
the huge... tail thing on gear. The tail's only
on some of them. You can get versions. It's grim.
It looks ugly. I think also worth noting that
the pants and shoes are not included here. Or
gloves. It's just the headpiece and chest piece.
Next we have the Time Worn maps. You can get
riding maps. Yeah, that too. If you still haven't
unlocked a Realm Reborn riding map, you can get
them for a tenner. They cost company seals otherwise.
They do. And then we have two... No, sorry, we
have several triple card cards. Lost Lamb, Magitek,
Colossus, Prometheus, Mother Porksy, and Ruby
Weapon. Prometheus is somewhat difficult to get.
Ruby Weapon took me ages to get, so I think Prometheus
and Ruby Weapon are worth getting if you haven't
got them already. Mother Porksy is not that difficult
to farm from Matoya's Relic, but still, if you
don't want to farm a dungeon, then just get all
three of the seven, the ones that are worth seven
tomes. Right. Is Prometheus from Bales' Wall?
No, Prometheus is the second boss of Gimlet Dark.
Sorry, Gimlet Dark, yes, that's what I was thinking.
Another war dungeon. Isn't there an FF11 song
for Prometheus? The equestrian roll at the bottom,
sorry. The equestrian roll? Oh, sorry, Onslaught.
Onslaught. Yeah, is that not an 11 song? Although
I am probably the biggest Eleven fan. It's from
Eureka Heidatos. I'm not sure about that. No,
it very well could be. I wouldn't be surprised
if it's a song from Eleven because they put a
lot of Eleven music in, specifically the Baldessian
Arsenal, so that might be where that's from.
I need one card from the first to get my Flying
Jam, Flying Toast, Jammed Toast, and it's none
of these, but it is the Emerald Weapon, so based
on this, next time. I very well could have it
if I don't get it before then. Oh, there you
go. I'm going to go check if I've got the Emerald
Weapon one. Where's the Wind -Up Hub Goblin from?
Is it for... Is it from... Is it for bicoloured
gems or something? I don't know where it's from.
It's either gems or from... That's a good question.
Oh, no, it's from Retain Events. It's Hide and
Exploration 25 and 30. I might not have this.
I'll probably get it then. Or I'll see how much
it is on the market. Oh, is it really? No, I
mean just for five is nothing. Onslaught is a
song used in the F -11 raid for Ultima and Omega,
but it doesn't drop from there. You'd only get
it from Eureka. That's interesting. That's interesting,
but it might just be because it was already in
the game. Well, we're not letting you get it
this way. Go get it the other way. It's only
three tomes. Yeah, it's only three tomes. It's
not expensive. It's only three tomes. The harp
goblin is about 300k, so get it from this. Five
is nothing. Oh, hide a toast, too. Sorry, not
even. I love when they put things in here and
crash markets. Yeah. It's kind of funny. I always
feel like the pricing structure they do on these
events is a little skewed. Sometimes it just
doesn't make sense. No. I mean, sometimes they
understand how valuable something is. Like, when
they put Return to Oblivion, that was, like,
one of the few times that they had something
at 100 tomestones as well, in addition to, like,
the unique earring. Yeah. That's true. But they
can, like, equally value, like, imagine there
was a triple tri -car that dropped from doing
Ultimate Bahamut, and then they would put that
equal to something that drops from, like, Bronze.
They have no idea. Well, Lost Lamb and Magitek
Colossus cards are both... Magitek Colossus is,
I'm pretty sure, just like from random packs.
Yeah, right? And Lost Lamb... I think Lost Lamb
might also be random packs, but I'm not 100 %
sure. They actually generally make the ones that
require you to go into content cheaper. They
don't make sense. Right. Anyway, pretty good,
though. Pretty decent one. So what are the...
Sorry, but I just have to ask. Dungeon switching.
What level of crazy are you if you're wasting
tomes buying Magicked Prism Job Mastery 10? It's
the only prism. Yeah. I guess they have to put
something that's at least one item for people
who want to clear out. Yes, if you want to just
clear out without just throwing. That's what
I do. You have to keep one. Yeah, exactly. Oh.
You have to always have at least one. I thought
Rollo was alone in this opinion, but apparently
Rollo agrees with him. No, I've been collecting
from the start. Thank you. Yeah, you have to
have all the unique items. You're going to run
out of space. All my saddlebag. I just think
it's cool. You can always buy more retainers
to kill. Exactly. That's true. That's true. And
it's not like you need them. It's not like you
need the retainers to be active when you're not
using them. No, that's true. Do you know, I think
we're at a point where we need to have in the
social emotes tab a list of magic prisms that
we have and just like a special... You're asking
too much. There's so much dumb shit. There is
no way they'll be able to do that. They can't
do a glamour log. They can't do that. No, they
can't. They can't make lists of things you've
already unlocked. You're right. The fact that
they made a currency slot for tribe tokens is
pretty revolutionary, to be fair. Yeah. We have
revealed here that the Voidarc, Weeping City,
and Dunskaith are the three alliance raids. Are
they not sharing the full list? They never do
that anymore. That's silly. Ever since they added
the new UI mailer, they don't do it on the website
anymore. No, they just keep on defining what
the Ultimog will be. Well, no, if you scroll
up a little bit to consult the Mogpendium, you
can see some of them. Oh, yeah, here we go. Here
are some of them, the standard objective ones.
You can see the dungeons. Oh, yeah. Yeah. So
look forward to there. Oh, the Ultimog's going
to be... Well, it's a male Darkhold. It'll be
something really good. And Aurum Veil is nice.
to put in there. The Ultima has been datamined.
I won't say what it is, but if you're curious,
you can look ahead. Well, it'll actually be out
by the time this is on YouTube. I'll say that.
Yeah. That's true. As a male Darkhold and Aurum
Vale, it'll be one of your last... Well, they've
just been reworked. No, they haven't yet. Well,
they've been reworked, so yeah. They've been
reworked, so... Yeah. To get them, to get to
see them before they change forever. ARF! That
was a great dungeon. Darkhold is so fucking bad.
I agree. It won't be soon. Why don't they add
Moogle Tomestone Roulette, which only has the
options here selected? Very large variety. But
I guess I'd be down for it personally, but I
don't know if they would be down for it. I often
get the impression that... Yeah, I was just going
to say, I feel like the roulettes aren't too
stupid to do that. Yeah. And also, it makes it
a very unappealing roulette, because you don't
know how much time you're going to have to invest,
because it can be both a dungeon and a raid.
I'm okay doing Alliance raid roulette and hoping
to get the ones from the Tomestone event, but...
Maybe have a toggle. Dungeons. A dungeon. Or
a toggle would be good, yeah. I also... think
that they might not want that because they want
the chance that when you queue up for like an
alliance raid roulette that you're just going
to fill up the other alliances that still need
people yeah yeah you're right a lot of people
i think no Do new people even play this game?
Who knows? I don't think so anymore. Well, according
to the internet, no one's playing this game anymore.
It's true. No, not even we don't even play this
game. No, no, no. According to YoshiP, though,
about 14 % of the global population plays this
game. So I don't really know anymore. No. Okay,
well, there you go. That's the Moogle Tomestone
event. Go have fun with that. Get the stuff.
I will, yeah, by the time you see this on YouTube.
Yes. Yeah, go tomestoning. Maybe you're tomestoning
while you're listening to your... Yes. Doing
your roulettes, you know? Yes, listen to us while
you tomestone. Yeah. Listen to us while you tomestone.
Next on... Next. Next is... Oh, yeah. Lovely.
Well, you might struggle to listen to us, or
not listening to us, but to Tome Stone. No, not
struggle to listen to us. I would struggle to
listen to us. Listen to us while you're being
DDoSed. Yeah, listen to us while you're trying
to stay online. While we DDoS you. There are
DDoS attacks ongoing currently, probably, in
14. It's been going on for a while now, for a
week or two weeks, I think, now. I think it's
two weeks almost, yeah. Approaching two weeks,
I would say. Yeah, it's been very, very bad.
People being kicked out of servers, and it's
one of the longest, probably, that we've had.
I was reading up on it. I haven't really noticed
it, because the EUC... I mean, you've been waiting
for the Moogle Timestone event, haven't you?
Yes, that too. It's the first time that they
made a megathread about it on the subreddit.
Yes, it's been that long. It happens, and every
time you go check that megathread, there's almost
always one that's less than an hour ago, people
being kicked out of the game. It's very bad,
and I don't know why... There's no real reason
why it would happen, but I... I don't know who's
doing DDoS. Like, what's the point? I don't get
it. Well, most of the time, people that do DDoS...
Well, not most of the time, but a lot of the
time, people that do DDoS are just to show that
they can to people that are seeking people that
can take down, like, spying -type scenarios and
stuff like that. Yeah. I always think the explanation...
It sells their wares. It's just so much simpler,
where it's just like, one, DDoSes are fairly
easy for anyone to do, in all honesty. You just
send a lot of traffic to the place. But also,
the people who do it are usually, like, unfortunately,
I see people say, like, oh, man, fucking WoW
players are doing this to slow down 14, or there's
some nefarious man out there who hates Final
Fantasy. I don't think most care about that.
Yeah, I... I think it's just much simpler. It's
a group or a guy who's DDoSing, and they've sent
a message to Square Enix, and they're like, we
will stop if you pay us money. And you can't
acknowledge that in public or anything because
then you're giving that attention. It's just
someone's trying to extort a company. It's as
simple as that. Have any of you been affected
by this while you've been playing? No. Surprisingly,
no. I hear it's been in the AMs on the East Coast
at least, but not that I've felt. It's happened
to me once. I was doing an expert roulette and
I got the meso terminal. There was one new person.
We got to the final boss and just as we were
going through the zone divider to the final boss,
it hit. So I think the new person still got to
see the cutscene when they got back, but it was
an unfortunate timing. But me and the new person
were the first people to come back in, and then
I said, hey, it's DDoS o 'clock. And then he
said, well, they said, what's a DDoS? That's
the last thing they ever said to you. Oh, no.
And when the other people came in, the other
two people in the party logged back in, one of
them also said, it's DDoS o 'clock. And the new
person didn't say anything that time because
they might have been ashamed that they didn't
understand what something was that multiple people
have referenced now. Oh, my God. Well, that's...
Yeah, so... What could it possibly mean, someone?
Dick, dick, out, shit? Like, who knows? Yeah.
It's so funny when someone says, what is that?
Because... When I see a word that I don't understand
that someone says in chat, I immediately alt
-tab to a Google window, Google it, and then
I'm like, I don't want to be seen as misinformed.
Right. Exactly. Right. You don't tell me you
don't know. You just Google it real quick. I
appreciate the innocence. Yeah. I agree with
that. That's true. Maybe they were five. You
ever thought about that? Yeah. And the fact is,
you did tell them. Right. Did you just go quiet?
No, I didn't. I didn't tell them. I said, don't
worry about it. Oh, you're so unhelpful. This
whole person is like trying to... trying to understand.
That's somehow even worse. That is somehow even
worse, Georgie. Because now you're like... It's
like, don't worry about it, you stupid, stupid
idiot. I was trying to find the mega thread,
but navigating the official forums is one of
the hardest things. Oh, you're talking about
the official forums. I said the subreddit. Oh,
sorry, subreddit. Sorry, yeah, yeah, yeah. Never
mind. I was just here and thinking. Oh, I thought
I'd linked it in the notes. I have. It's in the
notes, Milo. Yeah, an hour ago is the last report
on this megathread. So it is very much still
happening. So it's solved, I guess, within an
hour at least. Solved? No. Well, within an hour.
Well, no, they're not. Well, the thing about
these DDoSes is they're very intermittent. Like,
they're not perpetual DDoSes where, like, you
just can't get back on. No. They're like, they
happen for, like, a minute, and then they're
done. That's how they've been going. Yeah. I
agree with the official forum. It's not a DDoS.
It's the hardware is falling apart. Fix the problem,
Square Enix. That's what it is, of course. Of
course. God, this is the worst place ever. It's
probably... I mean, seeing how... how long this
has been going. We are probably looking at maybe
one of the worst ones now. I feel like I've said
this before. We had a very bad one after... Was
it in Endwalker when we had that long... They
had to issue a statement at some point. I think
we covered it a while back. But this one seems
more like... this is more disruptive because
back the one we covered last that was long had
like long stretches of downtime when it was impossible
to log in but this one's like you never know
it can happen at any moment and you'll just be
logged out you can log back in shortly after
but it's like it keeps just happening in like
yeah and like time slots that's very bad I've
seen people saying that they've lost Pilgrim's
Traverse runs to this, so I would suggest staying
out of that content until this is kind of solved,
because that's very unfortunate. Thankfully,
compared to previous deep dungeons, Pilgrim's
Traverse has more checkpoints, so it is less
frustrating than it could be, but it's still
going to be annoying. Yeah. Imagine if you're
still trying to clear one of the old ones. Yeah.
Well, I mean, yeah, it's rough. I will say, I
mean, who's doing Deep Dungeon when this is going
on? There's no official word from Square Enix
about this, like on the launcher or in -game
or anything. I feel like if this keeps going,
they might have to, like, I don't know. Will
there be a stay time? Is it? Is it not on the
launcher? I don't know, well, if it's like just
a notice at the bottom, like the ones that you
usually don't read. Most people don't read on
the launcher. No, I agree with you there. It's
not in the notices on the bottom. It doesn't
look like anyway. Okay. I think when something
like this widespread is happening, they should
make some sort of... Well, the problem is that
you don't also want to acknowledge it because
that's also what they want, you know? Like, there's
a difficult... They've been acknowledging it
on the lodestone. Yeah, it's, you know, you can't
also not acknowledge that your game is not working
for two weeks, you know? There's an issue there,
too. So, rough. That's rough. And I feel like
this is not the reason, but I just keep thinking
back to when YoshiP was... bragging about like,
oh, we've solved DDoS. I'm like, why would you
say that? I don't think people are still getting
back at him from that. I think that was more
launch. For those that were there, it keeps coming
back. Because remember, after we said that, immediately
we were hit by one of the worst DDoS attacks
at the time. So, I don't know. It's a black and
white moment for me. Okay, well, there you go.
Good luck. I don't know what else to say. There's
not much to do. They're trying to figure it out.
I don't know. Guild Wars 2, I hear, is good or
something. I thought you were going to recommend
people play the game that everyone's talking
about, where wins meet. It's not an MMO. It's
not Age of Wushu. No, it's not an MMO, but people
keep telling me that it is Mela. Literally have
zero interest in that. I looked at one screenshot.
Now, this is a 14... Sorry, this is a speaker's
internal meme for basically just me and Mela.
But I looked at the first screenshot, and I thought,
that looks like a screenshot that Orange would
send me and be like, this looks great. And that's
all I'll say on that. Okay. Review it in the
post -show. Yeah. All right. Let's move on. I
guess it's time for Mogmail. You can send us
more Mogmail at speakersinstitute .com slash
Mogmail. Thank you to everyone who sent us Mogmail.
We'll start. Well, actually, we'll have to run
the intro first. Here's the Mogmail. This is
from, okay, Verruheng Tia. Or whatever it was.
Well, actually, you'll see. Hello, speakers.
Don't say that about people's names. Well, let
me read the mogmail and you know why I say that.
Hello, speakers. I have no clue about the pronunciation.
I even had to use my own mogmail to look my in
-game name up because I can't remember it. Everyone
just calls me Tia. I just wanted a semi -lore
-appropriate Mikote. Oh, they call you fuckless
person. Appropriate semi -lore Mikote when the
irrelevant board leader came out. Why does no
one want to be a nun? There are heaps of nuns.
I say heaps of nuns. Okay. All right. Sorry,
I'll start over. I just wanted a semi -lore -appropriate
Mikote name when the A Realm Reborn beta came
out and why I chose the name and everything else
about my character was lost to the fog of time.
Beavers. Anyway, beavers would become way less
scary if just some no -name hunter was able to
harvest the soul of them. If he could do it,
we could do it with ease. If he could do it,
we could do it with these. Wouldn't it be interesting
if they somehow obtained a dragon soul? Have
a good day. Am I confused? I'm very confused
by what I just read. I'm very lost. This was
a winding path. Mr. Tia. What's the question?
What is the question? Are you... Wait. My suspicion
is this. Okay. We asked when you... He has sent
in a question before. The part with the pronunciation
is because you didn't know how to pronounce it
in the past, and we asked for a pronunciation
guide. The beavers might have been what his previous
question was about, and we asked, can you please
elaborate? Well, they haven't done that. Ah,
I see. Okay. Now I have to say then, let me issue
a little bit of guidance for Mogmail. There is
a chance that there might be a significant gap
between when we read Mogmail. So we might not
remember, you know, the context of the conversation,
but thank you. All right. I'm sure that was relevant
to the bigger conversation. Beavers have the
ability to turn dragons into beavers, because
that seems really powerful, if true. That'd be
terrifying. Yeah. I hope they do that. Yeah.
Just... Beavers. I just don't want to talk about
beavers. I will say this, in -game, I won't spoil
where, I've seen a beaver really recently, didn't
like it. Okay. Okay. Thank you. I was going to
try and find the wrong question. I can't find
it. It would have been in the previous show notes.
No, a few show notes. Well, to be fair, 477 is
missing in the show notes list for some reason,
which confused me. So then I had to go onto YouTube
to check if we actually missed out an episode,
but we didn't. Don't worry. Thank God. Okay.
This is completely irrelevant to the listeners.
All right. Or viewers. All right. Moving on.
Thank you. Hold on. I looked it up. Pronunciation.
Most likely. He's from the V -Trips. That's the
Vulture tribe. It would be a Vah. Like a short
Vah sound. So Vah -ran -ti -ah. Vah -ran. Okay.
Vah -ran -ti -ah. Now you know. There you go.
Now you know how to pronounce your name. Enjoy
your Vulture tribe lore. Yeah. We've never got
any lore on them, so. All right. There we go.
Thank you. And now we move on to the next Mugmail,
which is coming from Ines Gwendolyn from Phoenix.
Oh, I see. Again, another linked Mugmail. Re
-re -Azizla. We're back on the Azizla train.
Oh, is this Azizla Wendy? Yeah. Okay. First off,
I am very sorry to your listeners for the sudden
surge in how many times you say Azizla in a single
episode. I alone am responsible for this statistic.
Secondly, if Mela wants a rebuttal, I'm happy
to oblige. Oh, no. This is your fault, Mela.
Remember your argument, Mela. I don't remember
my argument. I want to aim this challenge...
Both to you, Mela, the speakers, and the listeners.
While my obsession... While my obsession with
this one zone... Okay, alright, alright. Let
me read the fucking mail. While my obsession
with this one zone might be a bit unusual, you
can't tell me in good faith that you do not have
a zone, city, or vista in the game that holds
a special place in your heart. As Lukil already
explained, Bronze Lake was a spot he returned
to many times for the ambience and view. Outside
of Aziz La, I myself returned to ye olde Gridania
time and time again. But not new Gridania. No,
because it's where my adventure began in 2016,
and the music and ambience there often gives
me a warm sense of nostalgia. This also bridges
into a discussion of what the world we play in
means to us. Okay. This also bridges into a dissection
of what the world we play in means. Never make
a typo, because Georgi will always call it out.
No, I try not to, but that one just made me laugh.
Sometimes I try to save them by... changing it
myself but i forgot here i don't always thank
you very much this also bridges into a destruction
of what the world we play in means to us as players
and as participants in this realm while some
may say that it's It's just a game, bro. We spend
so much time here and see all these locations
for hours and hours of our IRL lives. I'm absolutely
damn certain that each player can name at least
one spot in the game where they prefer to go
when they want an ambience they like, a view
that brings them peace, or even somewhere to
just be alone and relax. We do so in our real
lives too, do we not? This is all to say, Mela,
that spending so much time in a single zone may
not be so strange after all, be it because I
want to capture footage of Proto Ultima with
my eyeballs or camera, because the sunrise is
beautiful there, or because it's where I feel
most at peace. They are all valid. Thanks for
coming to my - Eyeballs! Thanks for coming to
my very long TED Talk, and I hope it has made
some of you reflect on the places of the realm.
Are you serious, anyone? Don't give me ideas.
It has to be places of a realm. Poor. Yeah, that's
true. Poor. Oh, yeah, poor. That's nice. P .S.
Is it cheesy to remind you all of the Norwegian
King's speech when he beautifully said, Homies,
where are your hearts? I think it holds true
in Final Fantasy XIV, too. This is, oh, he's
melee. This is melee's ult. This is melee's ult.
I had so much respect for you until it turned
out you were melee. Yeah. That, okay. No, it's
not. It's definitely when you find out it's not
melee. What a thing to say with no context to
most viewers. This means nothing. So, ignore
what Mayla said. It's literally nobody. It's
nobody. He's nobody. Mayla's a nobody, apparently.
Okay. Yes? I mean, I suspect that some of the
people don't even know who Orange is, who you
referenced earlier. That's true. That's an actual
speaker. They're canon to the channel. He was
the guy that said Persona 5 is better than Stormblood,
because... Persona 5 made him happy in Stormbron.
When did he say that? I remember that. That's
before I joined, obviously. That was my distinct
memory. Stormbron made him unhappy right there.
Yeah. Oh, that's how he thinks. Okay. I mean,
Stormblood made Maela unhappy. Well, it's because
of Orange. Yeah, no. It was because of Orange.
Orange tried to make us quit XIV. He was very
adamant that he was going to drag us, like, down.
He's trying to compare a fucking single -player
200 -hour RPG to an expansion. Yeah. It was a
rough time. Stormblood is a weird place in my
mind now because of that. Anyway, yes, we have
special zones. We talked about this. We do have
special zones. It's just we pick not ugly zones,
generally. I mean, we went through this last
time, didn't we? We did. We did. I'll say this.
That kind of feeling of, you know, it's just
a game. The feeling of belonging was much stronger
when... We used to participate in playing the
game. Where is this going? Do you remember when
we used to have a small RP group and we used
to hang out in the game and actually talk to
other humans and play the actual computer game?
Do you remember that? I do. Nikhil? Yeah. That
was very much like... When I got back into this
game, I was playing so much. And then when we
had that... even though I had then at that point
transitioned into the world of work and life
was, you know, starting to go downhill. There
was still like that, that whole thing. You know,
we used to jump on and we did maps with like
Vero and Orange, just play the game. So in that
period of time, yeah, absolutely. But these days
I feel more disconnected than I did at that point.
I agree with that. I think some of that, some
of that is because we are, we're getting older
and life is different, but like, Yeah. It's not
that different though. I think I could put time
into the game. I think I remember I always said
this when we were playing it as well. You don't
know when the good times are happening until
it's, you know, gone. And I'm pretty sure when
the lights turn off here, you know, when speakers
shuts down, you'll think about, you'll go to
like, I don't know, where do we, you'll go into
like the housing district. And you'll just instantly
be hit with nostalgia because it's the same thing.
You don't know it until it's over. You're mourning
what we had then. But you'll mourn this too.
Don't worry. You'll be nostalgic. It's like when
you're sick. You're nostalgic for when you're
just normal and healthy. That's true. Right now
is the normal. Yes, it's true. But there are
places I have nostalgic pangs, like teleporting
to Little Alamigo and going out the gate during
nighttime is a very nostalgic moment for me,
or being in Central Shroud. Some of these places
are very nostalgic. You're 100 % right. All your
reasons are valid, especially trying to catch
a proto -ultimate, because that's cool to have
a goal. But you did admit to spending 90 plus
percent of your game time in Asisla, which is
valid, but it's just different, you know? It's
just different. That's true. I mean, there's
so much more to look at. We think you're amazing
in this, Gwendolyn. Yes, yes. And yeah, enjoy
the time that you spend in game. Please don't
respond to me. No more. We don't need to continue
this chain, but thank you. Well, if you have
further unique Mogmail ideas, please send them
in. But I think we can... Address them to Lukiel.
I think the Asasla aspect is done. I think we've
talked that and done. We're done now. Thank you,
though. There's Prollo here when we're discussing
zones in the overworld that you want to spend
time in, though. Maybe we should get Prollo.
Probably not. You're muted. You're muted, brother.
That's how much he misses them. It sounds familiar.
I might have not been, I guess. Oh, yeah. So
what zone I'd like to just hang out in in real
life? No, in game. Do you have a place that you
prefer to just be in, to vibe in? To AFK in.
Yeah. There was a time I was doing a lot of...
deep dungeon and i was in south strata a lot
i don't i did like chilling there in court because
the quarry mill i think yeah um that was one
place that was um for any deep dungeon no i think
the dravenian hinterlands too okay that was um
is that the one without the ether right yes yeah
I like the Arboretum a lot, the outside of the
Arboretum. The waterfall. The big water bit down
the middle is cool, yeah. And there's that funny
little cave where you can just hide. Yeah, the
cave. I always liked the little cave. It means
nothing. That harkens back to a question where
we had about mysterious places that are completely
not talked about. That is cool. I like that place.
And also, just to bring up another... past speaker
matoya's cave is where lonigan used to just stand
still and listen to the true yeah it does have
a music though it is really good music yeah uh
i think aside from that i don't know this place
is so hostile sometimes it's true like you just
see these giant fucking mobs wandering around
that could kill anyone like any normal person
apparently oh yeah you are right there's no like
I feel like there's almost never any regular
-sized enemies. Like, you're not seeing ladybugs
in the overworld anymore. No. No. And we're supposed
to believe, like, that these are places that
people travel, merchants and citizens travel
around, and there's just fucking, like, 40 -foot
tarantulas wandering on the way. Like, it doesn't
make sense. Every now and then you get a non
-aggressive mob, like the... like the mamas or
the alpacas in um in urca pacha you're right
it is rare it reminds me of final fantasy 15
where it's like you're told This is, like, a
normal world where people drive on the highway,
right? But then, like, at nighttime, there's,
like, demons off the road that can, like, walk
into any gas station and murder everybody. No,
they stay away from light. That is specifically
what every settlement is set up for. You better
fucking hope that the lights don't go off. You're
driving down the highway and it starts getting
to nighttime. In fucking fake Venice or whatever,
the demons can walk. Oh, don't fucking talk about
the fake Venice. I hated that map. Don't even
get me started. The stupid boat system they had
there. That's what made the world so beautiful.
I mean, that's part of the scariness of the world.
It's built into the lore that Cindy's parents...
died because they were stuck in the overworld
when the demons came out. We're not going to
rehash 15 Discourse, but the world is not set
up in the way it should be. If there's actual
fucking demons outside your house. There's nothing
wrong. You can go and hide out and eat a pot
noodle and smoke some Marlboro cigarettes in
the local gas station. Yeah, you can go outside,
smoke a cigarette, and see a Colossus. Like,
just down the street. And a bomb. Don't walk
over there! Yeah, it's funny. I'd build a wall.
Maybe. Maybe it's just me. I don't know. You
don't need to build a wall. You just need powerful
lights. They're always building walls. That's
true. It's in his bones. Also, you mentioned
that we never see ladybugs and stuff. That's
a change they made in 1 .0, especially. Even
if you see ladybugs, they're huge. That was a
change that happened in 1 .0. They used to be
much smaller. But obviously, making them too
small, you can't fucking see them. Making them
ladybugs would be rough, wouldn't it? It's why
there's almost never, for a boss at least, you'll
almost never fight a human -sized boss. I think
the last one I can remember off the top of my
head is the griffon from Balesar's Wall. Right.
I think that's one of the last times we had a
boss that is equivalent size to us. Yeah, yeah.
That's why I like... Everyone gets upset when
it's brought up, but the other game has level
one... like mini critter mobs that just inhabit
the world. They're pointless, but they're cute
because they're just tiny little. I would appreciate
that. They should just put like minions like
in overall. Yeah. And that like are untargetable.
They just may wander around. Yeah. Yeah. That'd
be cool. Gang of them hanging out. Yeah. Yeah.
That's true. Spread Pedro's throughout the world.
Yeah. Little, little. Where is he? Has he ever
been found in the game? No, we never found him.
So I don't, I don't think he will find him guys.
He'll be out there. I promise you he's out there.
Yeah. um also i will the one thing i always remember
is we're talking about the shroud when I think
it's South Shroud, where... Is that where Hawk
Manor is? Is that South? No. No, it's North Shroud.
Central Shroud. Central. And you go up, and then
you just suddenly see these massive, like, Marlboro,
like, stroopers? Is that what they're called?
And they're so fucking tall. And, like, they
loomed over us. They're some of the biggest Marlboros
in the game. They are definitely terrifying as
a new player. I would like... I think they are
the largest regular mobs in the overworld. Not
including Huns. Yeah, yeah. Very scary. Yes.
Anyways, thank you. Thanks. Let's see. This was
Gwendolyn. Sorry, Innes Gwendolyn from Phoenix.
Thank you. Arizona? This must suck. Oh, my God.
Okay. I think we can probably move on. We will
move on to patch 7 .8. There's so much to talk
about. There's so much to talk about in these
patch notes. That's true. Patch 7 .38 has hit
14, and with it came not a lot. I might as well
bring it up on screen because there's some housing
items. Well, there is a housing item. Let me
get it up here. I forgot to open it. I'm curious
how long we can make this last because I think
you might have to switch segments a bit early.
Maybe we should have lingered on a... We can
try. Oh, you think we'll be surprised. Okay.
What if we talk at half speed? We can try that.
Okay, let me... I think we should. All right.
Very penised. Very penised. New furnishings.
Whoa! First of all... Oh, fuck. I forgot that
we have to hide one half of the screen because
there's someone... That's never anything bad.
There's someone who's going to be called Gobbles
Blitzkrieg or something on the side. I just don't
want that. I just don't want to deal with it.
No, no, no. It's okay, Lukil. They're not playing
14. They're government. Right. Yeah. That's true.
Thank God. All right. So we have, yeah, the new
furnishings. So this... Jesus. This is the new
poster that they added to the Ivalice raids.
I believe it drops from the final... Yeah, I
believe it drops from the final boss. I think
it drops... Three? But I'm not 100 % sure I've
done it. I've heard they're guaranteed drops.
It is guaranteed to drop. Yeah. That's pretty
wicked. Yeah. The... Yeah, the posters are nice.
They're usually high quality. I feel like it's
a little small and also maybe... No frame. Maybe
it's the picture though. I feel like maybe...
One alliance raid. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Why haven't
we got like a frame? Border item yet where you
can yeah, I mean it's two housing items. It's
a waste of that's no But you could have a nice
have a frame. Oh, yeah, you're right maybe this
should make like a Like a frame where you select
a poster like turn the poster. No, I've already
talked about this 14 way where you place the
frame And then you click the frame and it will
check the housing inventory And you choose...
Of everyone in the game. No, no, no, from your
storage. And that's how you can select the posters
that can fit. Maybe they could do that, but that's
too much work for them. They'll do just a frame
that sticks out a bit and you can put it over
this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, my... You probably
could do something similar with like, you know,
the frames that you have for like the... sightseeing
log photos you could just use an empty one of
those maybe yeah yeah that's true yeah you can
definitely float some stuff too in general i
think there's plenty of stuff like floating is
not allowed in this game no it's actively allowed
but they should just make the tools work better
so Just give me handles, like an X and a Y and
a Z handle. That's all I want. It doesn't store
data like that. good, that's when they add these.
That's when the jobs will be good. When YoshiP
said when he finally finished the game in 8 .0.
He made no promises about the quality of the
game, only the jobs in it. Jobs will be good
in 8 .0. The game will be good by 10 .0. That's
right. 10 .0 is when basic things will be added.
Just in time for EOS. Yeah, then it will be all
over. Speaking of housing though, didn't the
WoW housing end up... turning kind of shit or
something? No. We had this discussion during
the week. There are rumors that there will be
a paid currency for stuff related to the WoW
housing, but I don't think there is anything
concrete as of right now. It has been data mined.
It has been data mined. So it's confirmed that
there is a currency called like hearth coin or
whatever. Yeah, hearth steel. But I don't think
we have context as to what the currency exactly
relates to yet, do we? We don't know what it
buys. Nope. From what I've seen, it's below 1
% of housing items Datamined will use it. It's
only for new things they're adding in. I see.
So new furniture could potentially end up on
a store. I did the research when this was discussed.
I wasn't there during the weekday stream when
they discussed this controversy in relation,
not controversy, but like this issue related
to WoW. There are, people were saying that there
weren't that many housing items on the cash shop
that are exclusive to the cash shop. There are.
There are actually a decent amount of exclusive
cash shop. I counted. Out of 64, eight. On that
specific page, or did you go through the whole
website? On that page, that was called indoor
furnishings. There were six. I think the point
is the precedent stands, though. Which is since
2013. So let's just keep that in mind. I mean,
14 does not have a lot of furnishings on the
store. That's my point. That wasn't exclusively
the page I was talking about. That was just the
one I was highlighting that had the most that
I remembered. There are others on other pages.
Yeah. I would like to see the numbers, the ratio
on what is... Oh, yes, I agree. Yeah. I definitely
agree. Trying to say that 14 has a lot of furniture
on the store is disingenuous and wrong, because
a lot of that is mostly... I agree with you,
but we don't know how many are going to be on
this store, the WoW store, so we don't know how
comparable it is. WoW, we don't know nothing
about. That system isn't even here yet. We don't
know anything. No, but we gotta say it's amazing
or that it's shit. Both sides need to calm the
fuck down. And that goes for 14 and that goes
for WoW. Shut up. Shut up until the system is
out and then we can have a discussion. Because
right now we're just talking about rumors and
speculation. That's all we have. I just looked
this up. I've never looked this up before. There's
a segment on the online store. There's just housing
sets. So it's sets of furnishings from previous
events. Yeah. When do you think the last time
they released a set of housing items? Oh, I remember
they sold the sets. Ages ago. Probably like an
old Halloween event. I'll tell you that there
are exactly three sets. Yeah. Okay. And they've
never used them since. The last time was the
Valentine's furnishing set from 2016. Oh, my
God. I'm assuming that wasn't very popular. We're
almost on that 10 -year anniversary, baby. Yeah,
yeah. Yeah, that's, that's, yeah. Okay, well,
there you go. That was a little touch, touching
on the wow furnishing thing, which is still not
out. It's coming out in spring, isn't it? Is
that when it's coming out? No. Oh, no? Is it
even further away? In December. December? Oh,
this year? Mm -hmm. Okay, well, that will be
exciting. We'll be there, playing Mythic Raid.
That's when we can potentially shit on whichever
system is the worst. So look forward to that,
I guess. Anyway, yeah, so this is the new poster.
Anyway. Next, we have the usual stuff that we
expect from a patch like this, the weekly restriction
on receiving Cruiser Holosabers from Arcadeon
AAC. Cruiserweight M4 have been removed. Oh,
yeah. And then, with that also comes the Treasure
Coffer stuff. You know, the usual restriction
lifts from Savage. The items required to enhance
weapons purchased with elegant Tome Stones of
Mathematics Evercharged Esther can be purchased
from the following vendor. The person in Solution
9. The Ordell coin and Montion coin. The item...
What is this again? This is the... This is the
one for weapons. Oh, so the Tome weapons. Yeah,
yeah, yeah. After acquiring the items to enhance
your equipment from that person, speak with Theon
in Solution 9 and exchange them for gear of your
choice. And there's the reward. Rewards have
been added to the shared treasure coffers that
appear upon completion of the Royal City of Rabbanaster,
the Redorana Lighthouse, and the Orbon Monastery.
Wait, they've added... What are the new items?
There's one. Oh, there's just one item. You can
follow the link if you want. There's one. Let's
find out what the new items are. Masterfully
rendered oil depiction of legendary Ivalician
figures from a tumultuous age. Why'd you have
to click a link to go to that? Well, because
I guess they do that when it's spoilery, maybe?
I don't know. Is that spoilery? Well, no, it's
just if you scroll down, you'll see it scrolls
you about. Oh, it's just a shortcut, I see. One
page scroll down the page. Incredible. Thank
you, YoshiP. Thanks, YoshiP. Great. Well, as
I said, you may have overestimated how long this
is going to take us. Let's spend some time on
these resolved issues. 17 minutes, Lukio. Put
the timer on the screen. The following issues
have been addressed. An issue when using palmanders
of steel in Pilgrim's Traverse when the status
of vulnerability down was overridden and nullified
when enemies inflicted the status of vulnerability
up. Yes, people thought, okay, I can actually
talk about this. You know those slow turtles
that we encountered on floors, I think it's floors
41 through 50 of Pilgrim's Traverse? When they
auto -attack you, they inflict a vulnerability
up. People thought it was an intended feature.
that a function of that was that it removed your
vulnerability down, commanders. Apparently, that's
not the case, as we see here. I mean, it was
cool if it was a feature. It's like something
you have to look out for. It's actually a little
disappointing they're removing it. Yeah, it seems
like a cool idea. Okay, well, it wasn't supposed
to happen. An issue wherein the statuses Light
Vengeance and Dark Vengeance, which are granted
by moving over certain floor sections in the
area marked by Stone... Oh yeah, Stone 99 of
Pilgrim's Traverse, the Final Verse, and the
Final Verse Quantum, were not granted to players
experiencing lag or other network issues. Oh,
no. Wow. We've implemented measures to reduce
the impact of network issues on these duties
and will continue to make improvements in the
future. Incredible. There are mechanics in the
final boss that bring to mind Eden's verse, the
seventh one. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that one. Yeah.
Okay. I think there should be a colon after addressed.
I don't like that. After what? The following
issues have been addressed. Full stop. Oh, yeah.
And then it's a bullet point list. It's giving
they're pissed, you know? Yeah, they're angry.
They're not happy. You should have ellipses like
your dad's. Okay, dot, dot, dot. Classic dad.
He's going to kill me. I hate that. It makes
me feel bad because I start overthinking. It's
been like, oh no, what did I do? What did I say?
Okay. The thing that pisses me off personally
is that there are people in my work WhatsApp
group that do it and they just type like that.
It doesn't imply. From what I've discovered,
it doesn't mean anything. That's just what they
do. No, it does mean something. You don't just
get to add ellipses and not think that any tone
is added to what you've said. Some people replace
commas with ellipses. I hate that. That's crazy.
That's not right. See you soon. Dot, dot, dot.
No. Don't do that. What are you trying to do?
You've got to use ellipses like you're trailing
off a thought or you're being kind of crazy.
Yes. Yeah. Yeah. That's what it's for. Unbelievable.
Yeah. Like man. Yeah. I miss mayonnaise. Like,
you put... Right. That's the correct use. That
was real. Yeah, that was real. That was real.
Yeah. Or you can be, like, extra... This guy
really wants some mayo. You can be extra freaky,
but nowadays you can't actually do that because
now people will think you're a bot, but MDash
would be, like, that's a psychopath. You know
what? I'm reclaiming the MDash. I'm reclaiming
it. But the problem is... I'm using it more now.
I love MDash as, like, a concept because it's,
like... It just replaces like a calm. It can
just replace things and be like, yeah, it's very
versatile as a thing. But if you do it now, people
will think you're chat GPT. That's a fun stylistic
choice. That's bullshit. I know. The em dashes.
Just use a comma like a normal human. No. Bullshit
lines all over the place. I used to use em dashes
a lot, but now I feel like if I do that, people
will think I'm just, everything's chat GPT now.
You use em dashes a lot now. No one uses an em
dash. No, that's true. You only use it for date
ranges, I think. That's what I remember. Yeah,
I guess so. I don't think I even used it for
that. It's slightly smaller. Slightly bigger
than a hyphen. It's the tiny one. Yes, yes, yes,
yes, yes. Okay, anyways, an issue with the final
verse and final verse quantum, wherein players
were not removed from the duty when the timer
ran out. That's a pretty serious issue. Oh, really?
I didn't know about that one. Could they complete
the fight or not? It would be funny if the boss
just despawned and you're just in there, I guess.
That's what I hope would happen, because if they
could just finish the fight and win... Oh, it
would be so weird, though, because when the timer
runs out, it plays like boom sound, and I'm pretty
sure the background music just stops. So you'll
just be like... I'd stay there, I think. In a
dead instance, yeah. Because the instance presumably
will just never close then. Yeah, true. I'd love
to take up space. I wish someone, I hope someone
recorded that. Because fighting the boss and
then just having no music playing as well is
just weird. Like, eh, that'd be interesting.
An issue within Final Verse Quantum wherein,
under certain conditions, the draw -in effect
of the boss action bounds of sin did not function
correctly. So I guess it just didn't draw you
in. I don't know anything about... Even better,
it pushed you away. Like the Kelpie. Oh, God.
Yeah. I don't know anything about that boss.
Kelpie was intended. Come on. Kelpie was intended.
We thought it was a clever... It's one of those
things where it was better when it was... Like,
if it was intended, it was so much better. But
then when it wasn't, it's like, oh, you idiots.
Yeah. Well, no, it was clear that it was never
fucking intended because it was correct in every
other language. Yeah, it was. Well, yeah, that's
the issue. You're the trick, you. They only know
that they're Trixas in English because Kelpies
don't exist in French or German culture. Duh.
Or Japanese. The real, like, the real, like,
big move they could have done is that in the
next patch... they simply changed the other languages
to match so it's all incorrect. Exactly, yeah.
That's what I would do. Sorry, the mistake was,
you know, the English one was correct, actually.
You said that they don't have horses in Japan.
Our game suggests that they only have horses
in the East. That's true. Horses and birds. Or
ravens. Well, let's not talk about the horses
of 14 because they are disgusting. Oh, the big
muscular horses. Oh, the sinewy, stretched out,
inbred horses. They're all stallions, that's
for sure. Yeah, that's true. There's no fillies
here. I don't like them. Okay. There's no Uma
Musume here. Uma Musume made me like horses more,
but 14 horses are still fucking disgusting. They
are very disgusting. Makes me want to eat them,
you know, because they've got such nice, you
know, meat. It'd be all sinew, though. It'd take
a lot of time. It would be a long butchering
process, I think, to get all the sinew. They're
best for lasagna. That is a reference that is...
Oh my god, Mela. It's funny. That's very funny,
but only for Europeans that remember when the
mafia put horse meat in all of the European lasagnas.
Probably tastes good as hell, though. Yeah, yeah.
I don't remember any difference. I mean, I think
it... I think no one objected to the taste. I
just think they didn't like that they weren't
informed that their beef lasagna was actually
horse. Yeah, it was a pretty big scam. If you'd
sold horse lasagna, people would have probably
still bought it. Yeah. Especially if it was cheaper.
Okay. Anyway, an issue when using the party finder
to recruit for the final verse. When players
were unable to participate when conditions were
set to duty complete, despite having already
completed Pilgrim's Traverse. Okay, that's...
That's a bit weird. They were unable to... So
I'm assuming unable to join the party when the
conditions were set. So they just... The flag
didn't work, I guess. Stupid system. An issue
when using the party finder to recruit for the
final verse. Quantum, the same thing, where players
weren't able to... Yep, again. So they made an
oopsie with whatever flag they have to have up
for that. An issue when playing Cosmic Exploration,
wherein the fish obtained from certain fishing
stellar missions on Thena were incorrect. No!
I like the phrasing, playing Cosmic Exploration.
Yeah. I think it's just an issue is to play Cosmic
Exploration. I still haven't unlocked it. I need
to do it. No one else has, trust me. You're lying,
Rollo, because this week every world has completed
Faina's development. They 100 % halved the time
completed for this one. If you want to go there
just for the plot, now is the time to go there.
You will get quests to explore the lore of Faena.
You enjoy it, Rana, when that little rabbit goes
around and says, I named this plant Floofoo Doofoo
because it's floofy and makes me do. And I always
name it. And I'll clap my big, small hands. Most
things on Faina are named after, like, snacks
or sweets or desserts. That's so epic. Puddingway
joins us, maybe. You know what? I'm over that.
I am so over it. The Loparet, like, cutesy, like,
oh, we name it after desserts? Yeah, fuck the
Loparets. You know what? I'm done. I'm saying
it here at the end of the episode where no one's
listening. I'm so fucking over the Loprets. Get
out of here. Get out of here, stupid bunny. Bunny.
Bunny. Get out of here, stupid bunny. I don't
think that's a controversial opinion, considering
how people responded in regards to the first
Lopret -heavy section of the MSQ and Walker.
Yeah. They are fucking awful. I know lots of
other people did not, but I'm also someone that
liked the visit to Shaloni. Apparently that's
also unpopular in this. Shaloni was good. Everyone
sounded like they're from Texas. It was so cool.
It's true. Not necessarily all from Texas. It
was very... Watch out, Zagawa. I'm coming for
you. Sir, I say, sir, I'm from Shaloni. I do
declare. You always have. I do declare. I'm from
Shaloni, sir. And then you got, and then you
got Erinville's mother. Sounds like she's from
the Midwest. Yeah. Yeah. But Erinville, thank
God, is from Iceland. Thank God. Yeah. Yeah.
They make, everything makes sense. Imagine if
it just got, it done the whole thing. Howdy y
'all, it's me, Aaronville. I was just putting
on that accent because I didn't want you to think
I was a cool villain. I do declare. Six minutes
on the clock. Yeah, we've done pretty well. I
think we've done really well. Have you been entertained?
We can't, that was literally nothing. Other minor
text issues have also been addressed. Other various
issues have also been addressed. Okay, you didn't
need, like, maybe that part could be part of
that, I think. Yeah. I was a minor once. Yeah.
Okay. And that's why you put ellipses there,
you know? The ellipses would be good there. Oh,
yeah, yeah. Other various issues have also been.
You put ellipses in the episode name too? Like
it's at the end for no reason. Why will we call
this episode? Just call it episode 479. No, no,
no. Are ellipses good in SEO? I don't think they
are. If I do a space between, it'll be fine.
I think it hurts it. I feel like I've seen titles
before. I think it'll be fine. What have we covered
today? We've covered. What's going to be the
head of hot pot? So we're talking about the thumbnail
at the end of this episode. Yeah, let's figure
it out. Let's figure it out. Let's do that. So
we have this last saga continued. I've already
said that I want the five -headed Lalafell in
the bottom left. Yes, we'll have the Lalafell.
Oh yeah, five -headed Lalafell, yeah. Can you
put like a picture of like a girl eating chips,
like spicy chips and her face is like fucked
up and crying because it's so spicy for like
the hot pot. But then also inside the hot pot,
you could put the servers because they're being
ruined. They didn't cook in the hot pot. Yeah.
These are good ideas. I'm noting these down.
Okay. You can do Yoshi P with the Brennan Fraser
sad eyes that we were talking about yesterday.
Oh, yeah. Okay, sure. I think, yeah, I think
you have. I guess so, yeah. So what is the patch?
Is that Moogle? The new Moogle Tombstone event
dot dot dot. With an em dash. Yeah, see? Even
though I don't think we talked about it for very
long, I think DDoS is a more exciting thing to
put in. Massive DDoS attack. Em dash. moogle
tomestone rewards dot dot dot can you put koichi
from jojo in the thumbnail too oh yeah for the
hairstyle it looks just like i'm telling you
like look at the shit it would be a pretty good
um title to put huge huge news new items revealed
in patch whatever it items and then we get to
it and it's just nothing Let me see. Somehow
he has a smaller forehead than the Lalafell.
Okay, sure. Okay, let me get us back here. Okay,
so I think we have an idea of what we're doing.
Still three minutes. We're making art, man. We
are. We're going to end the show. You should
end the show early, yeah. Oh, actually, no. Let's
end it late. You guys are over -fixating on the
time. This could have just been fine. No, but
it's funny to mention it so often. Now people
are aware of how much time we try and pad out,
you know? Yeah. You're revealing the craft. Yeah.
Well, you know, a magician has to reveal his
secrets. Oh, what happened to Rollo then? I gained
a desk or something. I got those jitters. Yeah.
Rollo desk. Rollo desk. That's good. That's the
end of the show. We've got two minutes. We've
got two minutes. Two minutes, Luke. No, no. But
I have to do the outro. I'm doing the outro.
I feel like we've never ended this early anyway.
I don't know what this panic is. Huh? Okay. We're
done. No commanders. Thanks for watching, everybody.
We will be back next week. Ghost Seahawks. Seahawks.
Woo! Thanks for watching. We'll be back next
week. Same time, same place. Remember to follow
on our socials, speakersxiv, twitch .tv slash
speakersxiv, youtube .com slash speakersxiv,
exclamation discord in chat if you want to join
our discord server. And if you're watching on
demand, link is in the description. Stay tuned
if you're watching live because we're going into
the post show. Now, talking about padding time,
the post show is probably the one that I'm the
most worried about because we have one question
from the syndicate. So that's a bigger problem.
Thanks for watching, everybody. We'll see. No,
actually, the poster was easy. Good luck against
the Rams tomorrow, Seahawks. Good luck to the
Seahawks. See you in the poster if you're watching
live. Goodbye. Bye. You've just listened to an
