FINAL FANTASY XIV ONLINE

Begrüßung und Vorbereitung auf den Stream

00:00:07

00:00:07 Hello, everybody, and welcome to the official Final Fantasy XIV channel. Before we go ahead and get started today, we just wanted to make sure everything was all good. Um, yeah. Mina Rain, are you able to speak for just a little bit, just in case there is anybody in chat already? Yeah. Hi, everybody. Hello. Happy Wednesday. How are you? All right. Yeah, let's see if anybody is...

00:00:32 Lollipo, ist gut!

00:01:01 Thank you so much. Alright, sounds fantastic. You're fantastic. Thank you so much for being here. Oh ho Kali! I love it. Big fan.

00:01:14 I don't know how to do it. It's like one, two, and then raise the roof. What is the motion? I forget. Maybe you all in chat can hear us. Perfect balance, like a monk. Surprisingly, that's not what I'm going to play today. Music and voice in good proportion.

00:01:33 Unfortunately, no drops. Sorry. Sorry, buddy. Okay, we're gonna go into the game and then also check out that audio as well. So, I'm gonna switch things up. Mainerine, why don't we go ahead and do some... Yes, fantastic. Read my mind. Already on it.

00:01:56 already everybody how does the sound of the game audio i'm testing on monk but i'll be playing uh samurai today yeah does the sound effects as we're talking and stuff sound all right does mean rain look all right in the the box over chat hi everybody

00:02:23 Ich werde das ein bisschen verändern. Ich werde die Samurai-Samurai-Samurai-Samurai-Samurai.

00:02:45 Yes, we are on Coral today. That is something that we failed to include in the post. Yes, we will be over on the Crystal Data Center, right, Crystal? Yes, Crystal Data Center. And we're going to be on the Coral World. So, if you want to come down, if you want to hang out with us, please, that would be very appreciated. And today, I just always feel like we have to stress this, but one second as I switch things up real quick.

00:03:14 um for our giveaways today we are going to be giving away five frog hats so i feel like it's very uh very much related to the things that we're going to be doing today um yes for the giveaway please make sure you note that the live stream giveaways for the north american community stream are only available to residents of the 50 states of the united states of america the district of columbia

00:03:43 Puerto Rico and Canada, excluding Quebec, however. So, please keep that in mind. Um, yeah. I think everything was fine. Was everything alright when we were testing out the game audio? Did it seem fine in conjunction with our voices and stuff? But I feel like it was. Hopefully. Yes, I think so too. I'm listening in as well.

00:04:11 Ich werde weitergehen. Hallo! Wir haben ein paar Tests gemacht, um alles gut zu machen.

00:04:35 Yes, if you want to come by, we usually take screenshots before and after we commence duties. Just making sure the audio is okay. Okay. Sounds good to me.

00:04:51 I think we're going to go ahead and conclude things there. We have about like 25 minutes before we actually officially get started. So take this time for yourselves, go grab a drink, go grab something to eat, maybe like a little snack and we'll see you back here in about 25 minutes or so. So thank you so much for your time and we'll see you soon.

Start des offiziellen Teils des Streams und Vorstellung des Preises

00:29:53

00:29:53 Hello, everybody, and welcome to the official Final Fantasy XIV channel. If you didn't know it already, my name is Aya, also known as SciSeeker from the Community Team, and joining me is my illustrious co-host. Hi, it's me, Sarah, also known as Meenareen from the official forums. Hi, and also, can I just give a shout-out to SciSeeker? Amazing job with the North American Crystalline Conflict Community Cup this past week. Oh.

00:30:18 It was a lot of fun. I know it was mostly Frosty and Brian that were there during that whole time, but I had a great time. I'm looking forward to seeing what other things we could do with PvP. Maybe it might be, I don't know, a hint towards what we're going to do next month. I don't know, just saying. If you like PvP and all that, please make sure to tune in to our stream next month already. Before we go ahead and get started, why don't we go ahead and show off what the prize is this time around.

00:30:47 Let's do that real quick. I'm going to go ahead and switch things up over here. So this is what we're going to be giving away. We felt like it's very, very central to what we're doing this evening. So we're going to be giving away five frog costume hats and we're going to be giving these away towards the end of the stream. Please note that the live stream giveaways are for North American community streams only.

00:31:15 Ich weiß, es sagt, es ist Excluding Quebec, aber ich weiß, dass ihr alle wissen, dass es für den Nord-American Stream ist. Wenn ihr interessiert in den Europa-Streams habt, sie haben ihre eigene, was es called Regional Streams, die Unending Journey. Wenn ihr ever wollt, wenn sie so über die Region gewinnen, dann macht euch das Stream. Aber ja, ich denke...

00:31:42 We could probably go ahead and get started on certain stuff. We're pretty much just gathering everybody up over at the Mikato Amphitheater over in Gridania on the choral world of the Crystal Data Center. Oh my goodness, I'm just making sure I'm getting details correctly. Yeah, I'm gonna just go ahead and switch over really quick. There's like a little bit of socializing going on, which is really nice. So give me a second as we change things up.

00:32:12 All right. Okay. And here we are. There's a few people already sitting down. Oh, there's a lot on this side. I didn't really realize. But y'all can get closer. Let's take some pictures together before we get started on some stuff. Yeah, that sounds pretty good. Please feel free. Crowd around. Whether you are going to be sitting on the stands or standing on it, it's up to you. You can do whatever you'd like. Yeah.

00:32:41 Ich bin ein bisschen näher. Ich bin ein bisschen näher. Ich weiß nicht. Ich weiß nicht. Ich weiß nicht. Ich sehe eine Person, die ich meine gleichen Farben bin. Ich bin großartig. Ich bin großartig. Ich hoffe, es ist eine gute Zeit.

00:33:03 All right, just making sure. I'll give it 30 more seconds, and then Sarah, we can probably start taking some screenshots in a little bit.

00:33:14 Yes, we are, once again, in case you missed it, we are on the Crystal Data Center over on the Coral World. It says so. I know it's like kind of small to see, but at the upper right of my screen, you can go ahead and see that information is up there along with our local time. So, give it a few.

00:33:40 Ja, wir geben es 30 mehr Sekunden, in case jemanden möchte kommen. Aber vielen Dank für die Showen. Wir werden über die Hashing Tide gehen, und dann, kurz danach, die AAC Cruiserweight-Tier matcht. Das ist, wie wir gewinnen, Froghats, für dieses Mal.

00:33:59 Es war lustig, weil mich und Noreen und die Präsenz und all die Sachen gewonnen haben. Und ich sah die Hats und dachte mir... Wir hatten zu. Ja, richtig? Das wäre super perfekt. Aber ja. Ich bin glücklich, dass wir es. Aber ja.

00:34:17 We did it! Teamwork! We're gonna go ahead and start taking pics in about five seconds. Should make a Yan hat? Oh my gosh. Oh, maybe? Writing that down. Yeah. That'd be nice.

00:34:45 It's technically Final Fantasy IX, so... I do like that idea, though. I'm a big fan. Alright, I'm gonna go ahead and get us into some G-Pose real quick. Oh, what a shame that it's raining. Actually, it's kind of perfect, because in the art, it kind of does show a lot of the...

00:35:13 Oh, that was easy. Perfect. Perfect to show off the Paracels of all kinds. We have the Hatching Tide one. We also have the Dawn Trail Fates one as well, I believe. And the, oh, the Leaf one as well. I can't remember the actual title. And the Cactar one as well in the back.

00:35:35 Oh, ich sehe es, ich sehe es. Ja, wir werden wahrscheinlich noch ein paar Bilder machen und etwas später, nachdem wir das Video machen. Und ich möchte alle ihre Parasols bringen, wenn wir schon die Quest haben. Aber ich habe noch ein paar Bilder, wir werden noch ein paar Bilder machen später und auch nach dem Ende des Dutys. Also, bleiben Sie auf jeden Fall, wenn Sie noch mehr machen können. Wir werden sie aufbauen.

Hatching-Tide-Quest und Community-Interaktion

00:36:04

00:36:04 um pretty much on uh social media and everything like that so please keep that in mind all right take one more all right so minarine let's say you to some uh hatching tide quests shall we go ahead and do so we shall well thanks everybody for the picture we'll be back in a second hopefully with a new parasol in hand

00:36:34 Alright, so this is where you start the quest. Make sure you do this today, because it is the last day that this is going to be happening. So please, please, please make sure it's available for a limited time only. Or you can just do it along with us, too. I'm just going to be running through the cutscenes and everything like that, but I'm not going to be reading them. I hope it's okay.

00:36:58 You waited till the last day? No. Well, I mean, we can do it together now. So hop on by, come do it. Unless you already did it, then great. And I hope you're showing off your parasol off.

00:37:22 So I guess to summarize, right? There's like some shortage going on with supplies and we're kind of just like scrounging around to see what we could do with what we're given. I believe that's the synopsis of the quest line. Looks like we have to help with eggs? Decorating eggs? Seems that way.

00:37:50 Seems like we're going over to the Shaded Hour. I shall wait up for you, just in case. Sure. One moment. A lot of people. It's gonna take screenshots.

00:38:07 Cute, ich liebe es. Und... Die Ecken haben sich gemmelt, look! Alright, wir sehen uns gleich in eine Minute. Oder ihr könnt ihr, wenn ihr diese Quest mit uns zusammenkommt. Total gut.

00:38:30 Run M6s?! Oh mein Gott. Es ist einfach so ein Mixed-Bag. Wie können wir genug DPS werden?

00:38:45 Ich höre ein sehr commones Gefühl für das Spiel. Es ist wie die Devs versucht, ein bisschen Ultimate-Kontent zu Savage. Und das ist ziemlich cool. Ich liebe das Beschreibung. Ich bin überrascht. Hallo!

00:39:12 Jans have come to ruin the Tank's day. They just want a hug. Have you all considered that? What if they just don't know that what they're doing is not that great? They were just born three seconds into turning from a flan or something. Have you ever considered how the Yan feels? What if it's just having a good time and that's all it knows?

00:39:43 There's also a section in Solution 9, near the True View, that shows off little cute depictions of the Yans, both the friendly Yan from Final Fantasy IX and the regular ones you encounter. So if you want to go and check it out, it's near a fortune teller, if that helps at all. I didn't actually realize until you pointed it out to us last week.

00:40:11 Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I didn't know. I love the Yann so much. Maybe it's because they also are majority yellow, too. It's my favorite color, right? Have you had a chance to check out any of that content at all? Oh, me? Sorry. I haven't had time. I was preparing for...

00:40:37 Cosmic Exploration because I needed the Lopperit, the Lopperasol? Mhm. And so I was just training, I was like crafting, practicing my rotations and things so I could sit there for as long as I could. See, I see. Mhm. My priorities. Hello. Okay, they left.

00:41:06 Oh mein Gott. Oh, Meitereid, du bist noch in der Cutscheid? Ja, ich bin noch da. Ja, ich bin noch da. Ja, ich bin noch da. Ja, ich bin noch da. Ja, ich bin noch da. Ja, ich bin noch da. Ja, ich bin noch da. Ja, ich bin noch da. Ja, ich bin noch da. Ja, ich bin noch da. Ja, ich bin noch da. Ja, ich bin noch da. Ja, ich bin noch da. Ja, ich bin noch da.

00:41:33 All right, so we're gathering up supplies and everything for what we can do to salvage this Hatching Tide giveaway. I'll wait for you, Minarine. This is cute. All right, it's very cute. I'm going to first person. Better get everybody in view here. Hello, I'm here. Okay, cool.

00:42:00 Yay. Okay, shall we move forward? Yes. Alright, so we're going to New Gridania. I believe we're going towards the Carpenter's Guild. Thank you for Peloton. Oh, wait, you're right. We should actually show off the new thing that happens after you sprint. Oh, yes, we should. Oh, my sprint's on cooldown. No, you're good.

00:42:24 Es gibt den Joggingen, das ist super cool. Es ist wie wenn man Peloton auf all die Zeit hat. Und ich sehe jemanden fragen, was Server we're on. Wir sind in der Crystal Data Center. Wir sind in der Quirrell World Server. Absolut. In Gradania. Ja, ja. Ich sehe es auf der upper righten Seite. Ich weiß, es ist super klein, aber ich mache es ein bisschen größer. Ich mache es jetzt ein bisschen größer. Ich mache das jetzt.

00:43:02 So it stands out a little bit more. Alright. Wait, did I talk to this NPC? I did. Okay. Let's head back. Nada is near the traitor, I think. Perfect. Right behind you. Alright. Yay.

00:43:33 Let's go and head back towards the amphitheater. Okay. Second. Short. Wow, there's like way more people that showed up. Fantastic. Fantastic. Hello. Hello, everybody. Thanks for coming by.

00:44:07 More Paisa merch one day? Hmm, I will keep that in mind. This chat, oh yes please. This chat, you guys want more Paisa stuff? Keep it in mind. Let's see what we can do. We are on Coral, that is correct. Corraling everyone into Coral.

00:44:35 Yan plushies. So cute, I love this parasol so much. I really like the Chocobo on top of it. Perfect. Need more Umbrella Emotes? You know, I kinda agree, to be honest.

00:44:57 I would like to see some, uh, like, that actually cover us, other than the default one. So, I feel you. I understand completely. And Shad is right, actually. The umbrella is yellow, so of course you would like it. Oh, true. You know? I'm a very simple woman.

00:45:24 Alright, so now we're going to be showing it off. If you all would like to come with us as we show off. I'm going to take mine. I'll bask in the rain as all the parasols can show up a little bit. I like green. Ooh, Voltonine would enjoy that. Voltonine is a big, big advocator of green. I forget which green he likes. Is it lime green? I'm forgetting.

00:45:55 I think so. We can ask them after. What's your favorite color, Mainerine? I noticed you chose purple for your character, mostly, right? Purple's one, yes.

00:46:13 Ja, aber wenn es ein bisschen nach dem Blumen ist, dann... Okay. Blumen und Blumen sind meine Lieblings. Oh, so wie ein Indigo-ish color. Wie ein Indigo, ja. Oh, ich bin ein Fan. Ich liebe das, auch. Sehr gut. Imagine wir haben Umbrellas mit all unseren colors. Ich bin in so einen guten Mood, weil ich sehe all diese Yellowen. Es ist fantastisch. Ich werde never get lost. Das ist einfach für Aria. Ja.

00:46:44 Perfect, look at this. I love it so much. I kind of want to get one that's in the thick of all the yellow and stuff that's being shown off. It's pretty great.

00:47:13 Ich habe so viele Screenies. Alles ist so cool. Uh, Market. Okay.

00:47:44 Can I actually encourage Chat to try something once we get back to the amphitheater? I would like us to make, like, a... Let's try to make, like, a heart, I guess, if we could try. And then I'll try to get, like, a bird's eye view of, like, all of us together. Can we try to do that? I think that'd be awesome. Oh, that would be amazing. Let's try to do it, because I think we're heading back to the amphitheater anyway, so... Let's try it. See if it works. There's a PeluPelu merchant.

00:48:12 Der ist neben mir. Ich liebe deine Outfit. Ich liebe deine Suisse, auch. Ich fühle mich, du bist mit uns seit dem Beginn des Streams. Aber du bist, du bist. Wow. So viele.

00:48:41 Oh, thank you. Thank you. Gamers and shapes do not go hand in hand. You know, that's kind of the fun of it, really. Like, I can't wait to see if we could actually pull this off or not. Put down rain markers, though? Ooh. Yeah, you know? We could try it, and then you could all see, like, in reference to the stream.

00:49:10 Let's see, we'll see. Do we even have it? We have like eight way markers to deal with. Well, let's see. We do. We would have to count on them watching the stream since they'd only be able to see it if they're in our party. It's okay, they could be the ones that fill in the heart, if anything. Things we've learned from our chocobo ratings.

00:49:38 Kannst du es in Seychat? Ich werde das machen. Ich denke, wir sind über...

00:49:48 So, in case you were wondering, this quest is super short. You don't really need to do anything special. It's all within Gridania, so it's not too much. I think the only time you have to shift areas is for new Gridania to talk to the Carpenters Guild. So, yeah. I'm going to go ahead and put this as my main thing.

00:50:16 Let's go ahead and use this. Fantastic. All right. I'm gonna do this. Perfect. Wow. No, you guys did perfectly. Ooh, okay. Maybe we should tighten up a little bit more. I think we could use a little bit more on the sides. I feel like this is an NPC, so we could use this NPC as a corner.

00:50:45 This is pretty good, though. Like, I'm... Yeah, let's actually use these two NPCs as, like, corners for the heart. Like, the upper parts. But this dip is perfect. We don't need to change that. Um... This is pretty good, actually. I'm a big fan.

00:51:06 Okay, und dann kann ich es auch totalen, wenn jemand in die Mitte möchte, oder wenn wir in die Mitte wollen, ist es gut für das, auch. Aber ich kann natürlich auch nachdenken, um es auszudrücken. Fantastisch. Wir haben eine sehr gute Chatzeuge. Okay, ich kann ja und G-Pose von hier. Ja, ich G-Pose von hier. Das ist perfekt.

00:51:37 Are you all so good at this game? Okay, I'm gonna brighten this up a little bit. Let's have like a cuter color. Let me down the brightness a little bit. Help it stand out a little bit more. Fantastic.

00:52:06 Das ist awesome. Yay! Oh mein Gott, perfekt.

AAC Cruiserweight-Herausforderungen und Community-Spiele

00:52:16

00:52:16 Chat, how does it feel to be a bunch of gamers? Y'all understood the assignment. I'm very thankful. I'm also just going to take pictures from the sides and stuff. Yeah, thank you everybody. But Minarine, I think we're just about ready to go for our first Cruiserweight... Cruiser... Oh my gosh. AAC Cruiserweight M1. Normal. Yes, that, what you said.

00:52:46 Okay, would you like to go ahead and set that up and then also give the password once it's ready? Yes, I will. Also, let's try to get some screenies from here.

00:53:06 Wow. I like how this Miko is front and center, and she's hella owning it. So good. Oh, nice hella outfit. Big fan. I love Yuna. Yuna? Where? In the middle of the heart, actually. Oh, there she is. Okay. You're all able to disperse if you need to. I got the pictures of the heart, so thank you very much.

00:53:35 All right, so the Party Finder is now up. And then did you make sure that it's limited to our world so that we can give them prizes and stuff? I did. All right, ready for that password whenever. All righty. Good luck, everybody. So the password to our AAC Cruiserweight M1 normal is going to be 5, 2, 3, 7. Sounds like I'm at the... 5, 2, 3, 7.

00:54:03 Now serving 5, 2, 3, 7. Fantastic. Good, all of you. So good. Oh, wow. I'll go ahead and distribute this one. That's okay. Sure. Cool. I'm going to make sure to find everybody. Oh, wait. I want to give... I'd like to give this to you if that's okay before you run off. That's for you. Thanks for joining us.

00:54:32 Ich hoffe, ich werde euch alle Mitglieder machen. Für die Duration der Gameplay-Konnenten, wenn ihr wollt, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte, bitte.

00:54:59 Someone got a Squadron Engineering Manual. Oh nice. Mhm.

00:55:09 Feel free to share what you got from your wrapped present in chat, if you got mine. Yeah, I mean, we've said this already since, like, somebody actually had it happen to them finally, because we were, like, waiting. And I've been waiting for so long to explain that these wrapped presents are, like, kind of like a... Sort of like a gotcha present that we always give away for free, and there's a chance that there might be, like, a...

00:55:34 Final Fantasy XIV Online Store item in it, like a Fantasia, because I think that's what they got, right? It was either Fantasia or a Retainers Fantasia. I can't remember which one it was. It's both, though. You can get both, for sure. You can? You could also get the level-ups for the Retainers as well, so it's a lot of different things that you can get in it.

00:55:57 All right, um, I think we're just about ready to go, so if you want to take us into the first match, ready to do so. Ready to go? All right. Actually, let me go.

00:56:14 Let me be polite and do a ready check. I love this Vieira's outfit. I don't know who you are, but you have a great outfit on. I'm probably gonna copy it sometime. You look great. Alright. Thank you for doing the ready check. Of course. Alright, I'm gonna bump up the music a little bit because I feel like it's kinda awesome.

00:56:47 Ich fühle mich sehr groovy gerade jetzt. Es ist perfekt für dich, denn du bist der Tanzer unserer Gruppe. Hast du noch eine Melee mit uns? Ich denke, es ist nur du. Okay. Das ist total gut.

00:57:16 Das ist such a cool design. Also, why is his abs crazy? Oh, I'm so sorry. I need to change that over to English. I'm so, so sorry.

00:57:41 I always forget. It's my mistake. Oh, look at that! Everybody's portraits are super cute. Okay, I think we're good to go, though, so... Oh, your dance partnering me? You could do it to the, um... Ich-do-mancer. I have more faith in them for some reason. Alright. Give me one second. I have a thunk pull-down. Yeah, no worries. Okay.

00:58:10 Ich denke, wir sind alle gut, richtig? Ich denke so, ja. Ich bin auf dich, Wienerin. Ich bin auf mich, ja. 5 mehr Sekunden. Gotcha, gotcha. Alright, wir sind gut zu gehen. Hallo. Hallo. Nice, sie sind 16 Sekunden.

00:58:38 I like it. Thank you. I appreciate it. Are you ready to get down? Yes, sir. I was born ready.

00:59:08 I'm so happy I don't have to see if... Oh my god, are all my effects on right now? You know what? I'm just gonna try. I believe in you. I'm so sorry if it blinds chat. Damn.

00:59:47 Ich habe alle Effekte gelegt, weil wir meistens die Aufwärts für PVP-Tournament. Das ist die einzige Grund, warum ich es aufwärts, aber für heute werden wir sehen. Es wird ein paar Leute gehen und nehmen Birdseye View, also bin ich sehr sorry für das.

01:00:14 Oh, das ist normal für mich in Psyseeker, eigentlich. Oh, let's dance, let's do it. Let's party. Yeah, big fan. Oh, gosh.

01:00:36 Ich lasse meine Dot-Drop, um so viele verschiedene Dinge zu verhalten. Okay, ich werde das eine dieser Zeit. Ja, perfekt. Oh, no, warum hat das angefangen hat, all of a sudden?

01:01:05 Oh my gosh, my eyes. This is intense. I think we'll be okay because there's no rage in this. So I'm gonna go ahead and try to rectify the situation right now. One, two, three, four.

01:01:39 Ich glaube, es sollte hier sein. Da ist es. Das ist gut. Okay, okay, okay. Wir sind es. Oh mein Gott. Und ja, wir sind auf der Crystal Data Center. Curl.

01:02:10 Stay on right side for both. Oh, switch. Oh, sorry. I was the one who said stay, too. Switch. Switch. Switch. Switch. And stay for the rest of this.

01:02:43 Oh no, I didn't get the perfect groove. I'm so sad. There's a second one, isn't there? Hopefully. I hope so. I hope so. It's terrible because a lot of things that I have in mind for this are Savage-related. Oh, I see. After those parts where the twists happen, I just totally, instinctively popped...

01:03:12 Ich habe meine Shield-Up und ich habe mir gedacht, ich muss das nicht tun. Nur bestimmte Leute bekommen die Perfect Groove. Es ist nur wenn du all die Mechanik in es hast, so du musst du all das in die Dance-Section geben. Das Specific Dance-Section.

01:03:42 Okay, ich werde es nutzen.

01:04:11 So we got five seconds on this one. Okay. Oh, good timing on the limit bird. Yeah. Oh, shoot. Oh, we got to get out. Oh, we got to move. Oh, oh, no. Oh, no. Ow. Oh, goodness. Okay, we have like one more that we could do this for. I'm going to be sure I can get it.

01:04:39 Okay, here we go. I think it's north and south. Oh my god, it's totally south for this one. Yeah! Oh no! I have three stickers, sorry. No, you're good. Fantastic. Okay. Give that to y'all. Painting.

01:05:31 I hope we get the Musix, or the Orchestrion roll for this. Oh, yes. I hope so, too. One lucky Warrior of Light. I hope you get it. Mienerina and I will be passing, by the way. Switch. Stay. Switch. Switch. Stay. Ooh. Switch.

01:06:02 Okay, perfect group. Yes, look at that, 100%. Phenomenal work, everybody. Yeah! Big fan. Oh no, it goes away.

01:06:30 Wenn es bereit ist, wenn es bereit ist. Und wenn es safe ist. Und wenn es safe ist. Und wenn es safe ist. Und jetzt ist es gut. Jetzt ist es ein schönes Moment. Ich habe keine LB auf hier.

01:07:02 All good, it's all good. I never get to LB, so I'm like, oh, fuck. I don't need it. Oh, go one time. It's okay, it's okay. We'll have it ready for next time. The rare of his range limit break. One day. One day, everybody. Yay, good job, team. Yay. We're going to be...

01:07:31 Not leaving the instance, because we want to take pictures and stuff, so... Pictures? Also, me and Minarine will be passing on all rewards, so... If there's something you're after, please, please, please feel free to roll and best of luck. Alright, I'm gonna be in the back because I'm, like, super tall.

01:08:03 Was ist das? Ich mache den Yellow Ranger B, glaube ich. Okay, ich werde Sweat, eigentlich, weil wir einfach nur ein paar. Ich weiß nicht, ich werde ein paar mit Dancing Green in es und ein paar mit dem in es. Ich gebe es noch ein paar Sekunden, bevor wir...

01:08:28 Das ist hilarious.

01:09:02 Cute. I like it. Big fan. Hold on, I don't want a few of them. No, wait. Let me try to get Minerina on the focus for this one. Awesome. Okay. Let's try to get some more assist.

01:09:30 I didn't pause one of our emotes properly. There we go. Oh, good. Alright. Thank you, team.

01:09:42 All right, we're going to go ahead and proceed to the next one. So Minarine, whenever you're ready, come on. Of course. Yeah, Kryle was with us. Thank you, everybody. Oh, sorry. You mean talk over? Oh, no, no, no. You're good. You're good. You're good. Thank you, everybody. All right. Politely, I am going to disband. Sounds good.

01:10:07 Oh, wait, let me... Okay, I'm ready. I'm, like, right next to you. Alright. Oh, can you invite me first? Sorry. Oh, yes.

01:10:40 Cruiserweight M2 Normal. Okay, here we go.

01:10:46 Wow, das war fast. Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness. What's up? Ah, I forgot to mention.

01:11:15 Someone was in our party prior to this one. We kindly do ask for you to allow an opportunity for other players to participate as well. Yes, please. Thank you so much for understanding. I know you just left. Thank you. But I appreciate you. Thank you so much. You can put it up again, and then we can have one more person. Okay. All right. Once again, the...

01:11:45 Okay. Oh, perfect. Oh, perfect! Yay! Okay, um, did you want me to distribute all the prizes, actually, or did you want to do it? I can do it. I can do it.

01:12:09 Ich weiß, es war sehr schnell, aber wir haben zwei weitere Chancen zu machen. Und dann, wenn wir Zeit haben, können wir eine der vier vier wieder machen. Wie geht's das?

01:12:21 I know in the 4 or 8, whichever way you prefer to state them and label them, I feel like I'm going to get hit by towers a lot. Falling Towers? Oh, I definitely will get hit by towers a lot. I'm already going to warn the healers ahead of time. I'm very, very sorry you're going to have to pick me up off the ground.

01:12:51 I'm so happy to see all this yellow! Hold on, I want my... I want my umbrella to be out, too. Yay! I'm gonna eat some old tier food, actually.

Diskussionen über Musik und Lieblingskämpfe

01:13:24

01:13:24 Okay, so I have to ask, to you, Meinerine, and to the chat as well, what is your guys' favorite song for this tier?

01:13:57 This one's a hard one. Yeah. I really like this one, but I also like the theme for M4, or M8, sorry.

01:14:13 Ja, M8 für sicher. Ich denke, ich bin ein Dancing Green Fan. Du bist ein Dancing Green Fan? Und dann, was du called it? Der Abominator, 2nd. Und dann, wahrscheinlich, M8, 3rd. Und dann, wahrscheinlich, 4. Ich liebe die beat in das. Es ist sick. Ich liebe Hip-Hop Musik. Aber es ist das, was es. Nichts rhymes mit Orange. Ich glaube, es ist nicht.

01:14:46 Oh, let's go. I'm getting Dance Partner. Oh, we have two dancers. Yeah, we have two dancers. Nice pack. Oh, greatly. Appreciate it. You know what? Take double the power. Take it. Take it. Take it. You have more power. I'm using old tier food. Oh no. Okay. Do my best.

01:15:36 Oh my god. You should give it to the dancers. The dance partner to the dancers. Alright, alright. Uh, west side? We can.

01:16:04 Und dann können wir genau wo die Bombs landen sind, auf East Eye. Ich bin der Worst? Du bist all right, du bist all right. Hier und hier. Perfect. In Solidarität, ich stand in das.

01:16:40 Ich werde jetzt sehen, wo die Arrows sind. Okay. Das stimmt, Emotional Support Holmstack.

01:17:18 Can't say that I do Sugar Riot. Can't say that I do. Okay, so we went over music, right? Yes, we did. So what about favorite fight? Like encounter design in general?

01:17:43 What are we thinking, Chat? M7? Okay. M7? Okay. I do kind of like M7. Pretty good. Also M7. M5 is my favorite. M5? M5 is very good. I think that would be my second for sure. No, actually, I agree with you. I would say M5 first and then M7.

01:18:12 Und dann, ich weiß nicht, zwischen das und... Ich nehme es! Ich nehme es! M5687, oh. Interessant, interessant. M56.

01:18:44 Und 5, 4. Okay, got it. Oh! Oh, goodness. Oh, goodness. I almost didn't make it. Oh, no! I'll go this way. It's fine. I'll go here.

01:19:25 Sorry, I'm the only melee. I'm sorry. So sorry, Tink. M7 loses points because of the kittens? Oh, you know, that's kind of fair. I was trying not to think of that. Wow, I got hit? Oh my gosh. I'm so sad. I forgot that had wings.

01:20:03 Oh, do I dare? Did you? Did I dodge it? I did. Yeah, did you? I did. Our healers are putting in work. Thank you, healers. Thank you. Thank you for your hard work.

01:20:38 Sorry if you hear me spamming chat. It's a force of habit. Oh, Thunder. So, away from water. Make sure I'm not hitting them. Is the fire? I hope we can all... I'm gonna be in this one. Do I have enough in that one? Okay, perfect. Yay!

01:21:15 Not going there. I think for this wheel we are to remain on the bridges and grasslands.

01:21:42 For some reason, I was kind of like on edge because I was just like in savage mode. I was thinking, oh no, the Yanns are going to come for us. But they don't appear normal, which is totally great. But I won't lie and say that I wasn't worried. Next, we're going this way.

01:22:12 Oh, um... Oh! Uh-oh. The ants aren't real, they can't hurt you. Are you sure? Are you sure? Are you sure?!

01:22:35 Oh, thank you for the cover, Paladin. That was my bad. Okay. Meenerain, do you want a limit break? Or do you want me to limit break? Or does somebody in our party want a limit break? I will defer to the rest of our party because I did not put it on my hotbar. Right here will be good. Let's do it. Ooh, Machinist LB3.

01:23:04 Okay, oh, right, yeah, this side. Totally. I was not paying attention, I'm so sorry. Oh, I missed it.

01:23:45 Oh, are they super cute when you put them to sleep in FF9? I will... Oh, okay. Oh no! I shall avenge you.

01:24:22 Und das ist... Oh, sorry, 6? Ja, 6. Damn. Yes. K.O.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

01:24:54 Okay, I'm gonna be in the back with a Rogadin, our Machinist. Good work with the LB-3, fantastic work. Alright, let's actually scoot everybody this way. I think that's like a better angle for the mural too, right? Sure. Fantastic.

01:25:26 Oh, you guys are so good with posing. And your formations, composition, perfect. Look at that. We got levels and everything, too. All right. I'm gonna do T for this one. Or no, everybody's doing like a ranger pose. I will do a pack ranger pose A. Let's do it.

01:25:59 Ja! Oh mein Gott. Ich liebe es. Ich liebe es. Look at this team. Oh, eigentlich, ich will versuchen, die Kommand-Effekt zu machen. Ich denke, das wäre lustig. Ja. Oh mein Gott. Ich weiß, warum. Oh, das ist so cool. Ich liebe es.

01:26:44 Es ist okay, wir nehmen uns mit und ohne es. Ich nehme auch die Objekte in der backen. Und dann... Und dann von diesem Angle. Perfect. Cool. All right, ich habe ein paar Bilder.

01:27:14 Alright, perfect. Thank you all so much, team. Thank you, GG's. Thank you, thank you for the party. Thank you. Alright.

01:27:42 Und dann werde ich gehen und ich bin ein Buszy. Und dann werde ich dich wieder finden, Meinerine. Oh, ich sehe die Leute in Game Chat über PvP reden.

Zukünftige Pläne und Verabschiedung

01:28:08

01:28:08 Probably have PvP stuff. I want to do Rival Wings and Frontline stuff next time. And maybe we'll have a special guest. Maybe. Oh, maybe. I'm excited to hear more. So stay tuned, guys. Alrighty, so for AAC Cruiserweight M3 Normal, the Party Finder is up and the password is 9985.

01:28:35 Now calling 9985. 9985. You were the... You were in the Ranger suit? Thank you, Burning Ranger White. Aw, thank you. Your efforts are well received. Thank you. Whoa. For me, have you ever considered that you should do that to yourself in the mirror because you look better? Look at your outfit. It's so nice. It's so well thought out.

01:29:06 Oh, danke! Ich hätte es, wenn ich konnte. Okay. Ich werde einen Monk machen. Ich werde einen Monk machen. Ich werde einen Monk machen. Ich werde einen Monk machen. Ich werde einen Monk machen. Ich werde einen Monk machen. Ich werde einen Monk machen. Ich werde einen Monk machen. Ich werde einen Monk machen.

01:29:27 While you swap, I'll go ahead and distribute the present. Oh, yes, please. Thank you. Look at the Chocobo! More yellow! Is this yours? What is this? Is it yours? Was that the new emote? Cute! I like it. I like the colors on this outfit that you chose for your astronaut suit. Yes, shine that helmet, girl!

01:30:00 So good. Oh, cute. Look at these two. This is our machinist! Hello, thank you. Thank you for shooting.

01:30:25 Oh, somebody got a jet black tie! Fantastic. Oh, congratulations! Is it general purpose? Oh, I'm going to ask in chat. Is it general purpose? That's just... Oh, okay. Good to know, good to know.

01:30:47 All righty, that should be everybody. Very nice. I'll handle the last step. Sure. Someone got a platinum piece? All right. Get yourself a nice orange juice or something. Very cool. You can buy orange juice with a platinum piece. The amount that it gives, right? I think. Ooh.

01:31:18 Level 8 Materia, was? Let's see, interesting. Alright, I'm gonna go. Might regret this.

01:31:40 I love this one. It's so good. The music here is so good. The platform use. It's amazing. I'm very excited. I kind of want to turn mine up a little bit too. I hope it's not too loud for chat. Oh, thank you. You were our white mage last time. Thank you. Thank you.

01:32:08 If I fall off the platform, it's because I was jamming out too hard. Headbanging, D.Va. Or Buff, it's up to you.

01:32:39 I'm ready. Oh, we're going straight into it. Let's do it. Let's go. Ooh, bludgeoning? That is out.

01:33:08 Out, out, out. Oh, wow. Yeah. The way I remember it is this. You're out in the club, and then when you splash somebody, you usually stab them internally. I know it's kind of morbid, but... That's how I remember what's what. Is it kind of too much? If so, I'm very sorry. I'll never forget it from now on. Fantastic.

01:33:38 I like it. Okay. I'm gonna get hit. Just kidding, we're good. Interrupted one. The best. This should be enough, right?

01:34:06 Oh, I'm gonna get hit. I'm gone forever. Goodbye. Oh, no. Oh, there I go. Such a good fight.

01:34:31 What does Riddle of Fire do now? It gives you a buff and then a fireball that you can shoot out. I think it grants you perfect balance-ish.

01:34:47 Es ist einfach normal. Das macht es immer mehr hilarious. Okay. Oh. Okay. Ich werde nicht versuchen zu grünen. Wir sind die Enhanced Warrior.

01:35:11 See, das ist was ich zu sagen.

01:35:44 I seem to turn off my UI for this.

01:36:18 Nope, nope, nope. I'm gonna put Mantra up for this. Okay, hopefully we made it. Fantastic. I'm just gonna be out. And then wherever the tank goes. Okay, it's gonna be out. Okay, and then we're all gonna go up north.

01:36:50 Missed that again? Mhm.

01:37:27 We're not switching yet, so out. And I feel like that's going to be after a transfer, unless they're just going to stay on a wall and show us both. Okay, so they're going to be over on that wall. That's going to be inside. Oh, you hungry.

01:37:59 Oh!

01:38:46 Ich bin so sorry.

01:39:20 Oh, y'all in chat doin'? Y'all big chillin'? Okay.

01:39:49 Oh, das war Lariat. Oh, Brutish Swing. I forgot about Lariat. Our good friend.

01:40:19 Das ist toll, okay. Ich weiß nicht, dass ich diese Informationen weiß. Glower? Du sagst Glower und nicht Glower?

01:40:44 Blower. Ich nehme es. Ich nehme es. Ich nehme es auch. Ich nehme es auch. Sorry. Ich nehme es. Oh, ist eine unserer Healers die, die, uh, mit uns? Oh, sie war in der Mitte der Heart, ich denke. Wir haben mit den Parasols. Good to have you.

01:41:11 So many spoilers? Oh my god, if we're spoiling stuff for you, please feel free to avert your eyes. Understand completely. Okay, and then we're gonna be out for this one when he jumps. Now we can go. Ooh, okay, I'm gonna... Rushing Marriott. West side, west side. Oh!

01:41:45 We made it! Oh no, that was too much for the Challenger! Anybody? LB3? Any big fans? The audience is making you nervous. You're doing just fine. You're doing great.

01:42:12 Look at that, keeping us up. Oh. Good, all good. No, all good. Don't worry about it. Oh, what is it? Oh, it's out. Jesus Christ, I did not get it. Flower. I like it.

01:42:44 Remember, there was one other thing people got passionate about in terms of pronunciation. I forget what it was. Okay, I'm gonna LB3 since nobody's doing it. Go for it. I'm gonna get hit. Worth it. Oh, no, worth it! Okay. Yeah, we're good, we're good. Fine. Oh my god. Still to get hit.

01:43:15 Ich mag Glower besser, weil Glowing ist toll. Either way. Either way, you'll understand, right? Let's go. The match is decided. Victory goes to the challenger. Again, Aurum Veil existed. True, very true.

01:43:46 Ich weiß nicht, ob ich eine NPC in der Front möchte. Das ist schon so sad. Ja. Ich will nur in diesem Scenario sein.

01:44:03 Please feel free to stand wherever you'd like, but if you are shorter, please take the front. Oh, go this way so that we can have our Rogadin Gunbreaker. Oh, right, let me pass all these real quick. Yay! Okay. Alright, I'm gonna go into G-Boys.

01:44:39 Ja, das ist perfekt.

01:45:04 Das sind die zwei Karpuncles auf der Seite, und einer ist auf den Legen, während der andere ist. Oh, no. Ich denke, das ist eigentlich ziemlich gut. Wait, did I pause? Oh, I did.

01:45:46 Okay. I'm pretty sure yours turned out just fine. All right. Thank you, Team GG. Thank you. All right. Have a good one. Thank you so much. All right. We have one more fight.

01:46:10 Okay team, take care. Thank you, thank you. Alright, and then let me find you again. Oh, thank you. Nope, need to do it. You're amazing. Alrighty, last one everybody. Stay monk for this. Yay, fireworks! Alrighty, are we ready?

01:46:35 I will never see this much yellow again on Duty Commence, so really I am thankful for this episode. It's made me so happy. So thank you everybody. Alrighty, so Party Finder for AAC Cruiserweight M4 Normal is up under Sweeneyx Mainerine. Password is going to be 1247. 1247. 1247.

01:47:05 Wow, ich werde das distributed. Oh, wow. Hier geht's. Hier geht's.

01:47:32 Thank you for joining us and don't worry. My body always hits the floor in these duties. Especially this upcoming one. Oh. We'll have a great time with this upcoming one. We'll have a very fun time. If you're really good at the Slices Right at the Gold Saucer, you're going to do great. If not, you'll be right next to me. I like your outfit. It's cute. Someone's ready for the summer.

01:48:06 And all presents have been distributed. Okay. Awesome. Alrighty. Gonna do one ready check. Make sure we're all here. Alright. Oh, somebody got a Piety 9 Materia. What other stuff did we get?

01:48:38 Everybody's ready, here we go! First time running this as healer, it's gonna be fun! Let's go!

01:49:04 Jenerin, du hast du gesagt, das ist dein Favorit? Ja, das ist mein Favorit. Ich bin ein großer Fan von dem bestimmten Konzept, der in die Design war. Das stimmt. Das stimmt. Du möchtest Rahatia. Rahatia ist red. Huana ist green. Und jetzt hast du blue. Ich habe blue. Oh mein Gott. Ich bin so sorry.

01:49:35 I'm joking around, please don't take offense by such comments. You're fine. It's only a matter of time until Duty Commence finds out. It's true. I feel like we did talk about this, like the first time we... Your debut episode, we talked about... My first introduction.

01:50:15 Let's begin, shall we? Nora, did we? Oh, for real?

01:51:05 A tad bit higher in Japanese, but definitely not this deep. I like how a bunch of you in chat are saying that it caught you off guard too, so I'm glad I'm not alone in that regard. Yeah, exactly. I'm so happy.

01:51:40 I wasn't expecting it, but that doesn't mean I hate it. He sounds so epic. Like, he sounds really cool. Uh oh, I was not paying attention. Oh, no, no, no.

01:52:06 Probably not. Nope. Did you end off a pack of wolves? Sounds terrifying. Maybe the sheriff or one of the other VAs from normal MSQ? Oh, really? Oh, I can hear it. Oops.

01:52:59 Oh, was that to say, Walk of Echoes? That's the wrong way to call that. That's 11 content, not 14 content. Oh, this is important. We should get into this. Perfect.

01:53:39 Ich weiß nicht, was ich nicht? Chat, ich weiß nicht, dass ihr euch alle fühlt me on. Das wäre die perfekte Zeit für Meditate. Das war die Samurane. Ich kann meine Improvisation auf. Ich kann Heal.

01:54:07 Still, you stared. How delightful!

01:54:19 Wiener Rain? Ja? Ist es okay, dass wir 8 Bilder auf dem Social Post machen? Weil ich dachte, dass all 4 matchen würden würden, wie ein bestimmtes Mal, richtig? Oh, ja. Oh, hier wir go. Oh, hier wir go. Good luck to uns all. Alright, I'll see you on the other side. We'll do fine. So far so good.

01:54:49 Das ist eine. Ich habe eine. Okay. Okay. Wir sind hier. Oh. Nope. Das ist eine. Ich habe das. Ich glaube, das ist hier. Oh, okay. Ich habe das. Ich habe das. Ich habe das. Ich habe das. Ich habe das. Ich habe das. Ich habe das. Ich habe das. Ich habe das. Ich habe das. Ich habe das. Ich habe das.

01:55:20 Minus 5k MGP, oh no! Not my MGP! Is that the party fight? I think so. Uh oh. Sorry, my eyes are like...

01:55:51 Uh oh. Um, we really wanna redo this. We can run into the wall. Cause we don't have any healers, I'm gonna run into the wall. Okay. Or just fall off. Okay. Oh, nevermind.

01:56:16 Your eyes get like that, too, because you forget to blink. Oh, yeah, my eyes are, like, wide open. 100%. We're all good. Got it. Thank you for the countdown.

01:56:48 Studying kanji, ooh. There's a lot of kanji. So, we applaud you on learning so much of it. Oh, he straight up says cleave. Funny.

01:57:24 Oh, this is probably bad. Okay.

01:57:53 I just realized this arena gets shorter. Like, smaller, I should say. Sorry.

01:58:19 I was not paying attention. I'm going to believe them. I'm going to believe you. Super post. I believe we did have... Oh, never mind.

01:58:52 Put that for me, I'm sorry. Very close call, yes.

01:59:24 Do you think his voice is like this all the time, even when he's in civilian mode? Or is it only like this when he transforms? Or when he's putting on his performance? Yeah. Wow, we survived.

01:59:59 Thank you. Good job. Whoa, 96. Okay. Hope we're gonna be okay.

02:00:43 Du bist da.

02:01:11 Here we go, round two. Oh, let's do it. We got this, Meanerine. One. One. Uh-oh.

02:01:36 Oh, gosh. Oh, gosh. Okay. Okay, we did it. We lived those. I'm going to put this up and this up. Because I don't know how much this is going to hurt. I got hit twice. Okay, we're good. We're okay. Thank you, healers. You're the best. Thank you.

02:02:15 Died so many times on this fight. Me too. Trust. Oh, please. We just have to live till I'll be drink. Oh no, our healers are on it. Close and then inside. Inside.

02:02:46 Outside. I'll be three? I'll be three? Almost there. Oh, wait. Oh, no! We can't do it! Okay, no, no. Goodbye. Goodbye, my friends. Oh, no! It's okay. It's okay.

02:03:14 I applaud your noble sacrifice, but I was just like, oh no. Okay. Yeah, this is just normal. Okay. We could probably try to do one more, and then we'll try to see and switch out everything, but sure. Okay.

02:03:40 Oh, Food Shack, I'm 9 Minuten in from mine, so let me just brief Foodie up. Third time is the charm indeed. We hope. We hope.

02:04:08 Das ist so schwierig. Sir has entertaining fights, and I've only begun caustic exploration.

Cosmic Exploration Feedback und Shadowbringers Expansion

02:04:37

02:04:37 Oh, congratulations on the mount. On getting the mount from Cosmic Exploration. Oh, nice. How's that been for everyone lately? I've been seeing a lot of feedback and reactions to it. How are y'all in chat doing with it? Loving it. Very nice.

02:05:08 20-hour, I hope within those the time that you've been playing you are eating and I do like toying with my freaking water and blinking blinking I was not paying attention okay here right here

02:05:35 Fantastic job team. Head alerts are terrifying at first. Ooh. Plantask feels very slow. Off guard me.

02:05:53 One of you just finished Shadowbringers. My favorite expansion, to be honest. Meiner, do you have a favorite expansion? It would also have to be Shadowbringers as well, actually. For obvious reasons. Oh, really? What reasons? I'm just kidding. Yeah, what reason? A certain city-state leader. See, I see. Mm-hmm.

02:06:32 Turing Heavensward, wow. Ooh. That's actually a lot of fun. Heavensward? Wow. Oh, no! Dang it. Sorry. Actually, Thunderclap faster.

02:07:18 This way. Gosh, that hurts. Oh, please. Oh, no. Okay. Yeah. Can you jump on? Does the animation change when it's 100? Goodbye forever.

Abschluss des Gaming-Abschnitts und Vorbereitung auf Community Commendations

02:07:49

02:07:49 Okay. Okay, um, we can probably take a few pictures here, and then we're gonna call it. So, let's take a few screenies. We can have Howling Blade in the background. Yeah, we can have Howling Blade in the background. We can, I think we have enough time to try to, uh, get another group in, since we have, like, about four or five tries with us. Sure.

02:08:20 All good, all good. Turn. In the back. I'm like scared one of us is accidentally gonna pull. I know!

02:08:49 So scared, so I'm like staying right here. I think Netflix is really cool though. It does, to be honest.

02:09:25 I don't know why, this is actually a full picture. Cool. Alright. I didn't realize you could pause each character. Well, you know now. Alright. Thank you, team. Alright.

02:10:02 Yeah, we actually sometimes have small sections of, like, the stream where we do try to, um, what do you call it, bring up some G-Post stuff, too, so most of the time it is, uh, myself, uh, Okuyomi, or Aminurine that will be here. Alright, but, uh, let's go ahead and just ban it, and then we can probably try to, yes, okay. Thank you. I'll do Samurai for this one.

02:10:37 Und dann, wir haben noch mehr Passwärts, richtig? Ja, wir haben. Okay. Die Party Finder ist auf. Once wieder für AAC Cruiserweight M4, die Party Finder ist 0256.

02:11:03 Zero, two. Five, six. Five, six. All right, I can go ahead and distribute for this as well. Okay, sure. Thank you, Meaneraine, for taking care of PF stuff for this episode. Of course, of course.

02:11:32 Whoa, Blue Feather? If this were another video game, that would mean something entirely different. Alrighty. What did everybody get for the presents?

02:12:06 Squadron Engineering Manual, nice. So sorry. Okay. Materia, I see, I see. Good to go, I think. All good to go? Okay. All right, probably ready to check.

02:12:39 How long does this last, this stream? Usually... We're actually gonna end soon. After this, we have community accommodations. And then, last but not least, the giveaway for the frog costume hat. Alright. I will skip cutscene here.

02:13:12 Should I give it to our Viper or you? Yes, absolutely. Just checking. Sure, sure. Food check. Oh, I have mine on. I'm good. Thank you. All good. All set. Fantastic. Thank you for the countdown.

02:13:45 Oh, thank you for watching the Community Cup. It was a lot of fun. Oh, is somebody's birthday in the chat? Happy birthday. Oh, happy birthday.

02:14:16 you can keep up.

02:14:18 Oh, that is true. Oh, you didn't catch my name. Yes, because I was more like a, what do you call it, just a shadow host for that event. And that was more about Frosty and Brian doing commentary work. Yes, Minarine, why don't you go ahead and introduce yourself really quick for everybody who's just tuning in. Hi, everybody. I'm Minarine on the official forums, also known as Sarah. You can call me Mina. And Rahachia is my favorite character.

02:14:47 That's why I like Shadowbringers so much. What an introduction! What?! Um, my name is Aya, also known as Psyseeker from the community team, and, um, I like long walks on the beach of Costa del Sol, and... Shadowbringers is also my favorite. And, um, Moenbrita is the best. That's all I'm gonna say. I love Moenbrita. So I like Artbird a lot?

02:15:19 I find it amazing that you're tanking and also chatting at the same time. You're awesome. Can't you fend off a pack of wolves? Definitely not. We've been over this. Learn how to do it over time. Yeah, but that's like clicking out of this and you're like moving at the same time too. Amazing.

02:15:48 Wir sind auch Controller-User, so... True.

02:16:12 Oh yes, and there's Zexos, who's currently in the chat. He said, I'm Zexos, I like all things Subligar. Subligar is life and increases your drop rate by a .0000% too, if you believe. That's right. If you play Final Fantasy XI, your crafting results are affected by your direction that you're facing. No, it's not. Please don't take that as fact. I would have believed you.

02:16:43 Okay, we're dancing. Must face north during Fire's Day, absolutely. I'm so sorry to our bard for giving you a panic attack. My bad. I believed that for years.

02:17:14 Ich glaube, es war eine RECENT THING gegeben. Oh, ich kann... Meditate. Es war eine RECENT TREASURE HUNTER. Das war relativ schnell, auch.

02:17:30 Ich weiß nicht, dass ich Glück auf die Lunar Draw bin, weil ich so gut bin. Wenn ich die Deodorizer spiele habe, die Deodorizer hat viele Funktionen. Wir haben auch Community Streams für XI, so wenn du nicht in Final Fantasy XI bist, kannst du das machen. Anniversaries kommen, auch in May.

02:18:03 Oh, damn it. Do you know that, Meinerine? I didn't know that about Fenrir's power. No, I didn't know. We're good here. Oh, wow. That was very close.

02:18:28 I'm following our warrior. Lead me to victory. You're the best. Oh, okay. Okay. The healer's still up. We're good. I've gotten better at reading these healers, but the last one left me out. I'm late.

02:18:56 I am not great at that. It's a good thing we have our warrior here who is leading us to victory. You know what that means, Sightseeker? We should practice. We should practice at the gold saucer. Absolutely. That's a fantastic idea. You can watch me fail, like, 99% of the time.

02:19:25 Das 1% ist ein sehr guter Tag.

02:19:57 Oh, all my sharking jobs are blinding together. I was like, I'll pass the riddle of Earth. And I'm like, wait a minute. I don't have that. Are there any jobs where you're just like...

02:20:10 Oh, yes, I have it placed here for this, but then when you actually press that button, it's something else, and you're just like, wait a minute. When I go between Bard and Dancer, normally my arm's length is in the same place, but I swapped some buttons around, now they're not.

02:20:32 In my Peloton 2. I'm like, where is it? I see, I see. I think I will give the LB 3 to our Viper if they want to let it go crazy. I was thinking of that too. Let's go Viper! Let's go!

02:21:13 Das war eigentlich sehr schön. Ich hatte das Bild auch noch besser. Wir beide haben... Wir sind so gut. Es war so cool.

02:22:02 We are in it. Let's go, Tab. Like, keyboard no mouse? That is actually... I've never heard that before. Let's go! Great job.

02:22:28 Since 11? Oh, compact keyboard life. I'm so happy the Viper did LB. Yeah, they look so cool doing it. He's the Pro Tech guy. Oh, is he straight up Warrior of Light looking? Oh, he is. Look at that. Seen that guy in ads. Crazy.

02:23:09 Oh, let me pass everything first. Just look on the glasses if you're gonna get it. You're going for it, Prother? Alright. Am I the tallest here? Yeah, I am. Alright. Music dropped and glasses dropped. Very nice. I'll move over a little bit. Sorry.

02:23:39 All right. Das Formation, everybody so good at posing. You guys play... You guys know how to take screenies together. Hmm, what should we do? What pose are you doing again, Fienery? Uh, I am doing the ranger pose. One moment. The yellow ranger pose. Let's go. Uh, black ranger pose B. Gotcha.

02:24:13 Ich liebe die Klasse.

02:24:52 Oh, that's kind of cute, actually. Look at that! They're so cute! What the? I know! Okay. Let me try to see if I can get this.

02:25:25 Oh, no, I'm covering our Highlander friend. Poor NPC. So bad. Okay, there we go. Cool. Alright, I got some pictures. Thank you, team. GGs. Thank you. Thank you for the...

02:25:55 Thank you, everybody.

02:26:25 Okay, no way. Um, we're gonna do, uh, last pictures. Let's actually go up on stage for this one, so. Sure. Everybody can go, or actually there might be a lot of people still trying to do the event. Oh wait, no, we disappear if there's, if anybody is trying to do it, so I think we're fine. Alright.

02:26:48 Do we want our umbrellas out as well? Yes, please. That'd be great. All right. I'm gonna be in the back. Or I'll be in the middle-ish, actually.

02:26:59 Ich werde 30 Sekunden geben, aber vielen Dank. Wir werden die Community Commendation sehr schnell machen, das war mit Mienerin. Also, Mienerin, danke für die Arbeit. Of course! Das war sehr viel Spaß. Und dann werden wir die Frog-Hats nach dem Ende des Streams geben. Das ist großartig. Alright, ich werde in 5 Sekunden nehmen. Alright.

02:27:30 Haha.

02:28:18 Ich werde ein paar mehr machen.

02:28:38 I got a few pictures, but now that is going to conclude our gaming portion of the evening, so we're going to go straight into community commendations. So, one second as I get that prepped. But thank you everybody for coming through and helping us out. Whether you were here for Hatching Tide stuff, whether you were here for any of the Arcadian stuff, thank you so much for being here. Yeah, let's go into some community commendations, shall we?

Community Commendations: Vorstellung von Cosplays und Fan-Kunst

02:29:08

02:29:08 Let's go. Let's do it. This is so fun to put together. Yay. Yay. All right. Meinerine, since you did this, why don't you start us off? Who is our first? Of course. So our first submission for Community Commendations is a user, Sakura Kitsune, also known as Libatina Adams from Odin, a lovely, lovely Ishtola Kostle right here.

02:29:34 Oh, look at the props, too, and the details on their cosplay for that amulet. Oh, my gosh. So good. And then just the background just reminds me of the Rektika Greatwood. Like, they went and did a location shoot and just... Wherever they were, it reminded me of Rektika. Yeah, it's really, really good. It's very fitting for this version of Yshtola, especially, so... Really, really awesome work. Oh, sorry. Were you saying something? Oh, no, no, no, no. Okay.

02:30:02 She is serving. Yes, thank you so much for your submission. And then next up, we have Rifter666 or Reyna Bluewind of Lich. It's not very often that we see Hrothgar cosplay, so really, really awesome work. Gosh, the details on that. I feel like we've seen Hrothgar masks before, but I feel like this is the first time we've seen it in full-out cosplay.

02:30:32 That's awesome. That's yours. Wow. Thank you so much for allowing us to showcase it. Very much appreciated. All right. Yes, thank you. How long did it take you to do all of this? It must have been months, right? I'm just assuming. You can correct me. But fantastic work nonetheless. And we'd love to hear how long it took. Amazing, amazing job.

02:31:06 All right, but yes, regardless, thank you. And who do we have next, Meenairene? All right, next we have valuable low 6156, Tefala Velias from Genova. I really like the coloring style that they have for their Akote. I love their PvP outfit. And also, I'm a fan of the Neo-Ishgardian outfit as well and their other work, so.

02:31:34 Es ist wirklich cool zu sehen. Ich mag es viel, weil es mir auch ein Comic-Buch-Art ist. Das könnte ein introductory panel für den Charakter sein, und dann ein panel in der Mitte von einem wirklich crazy Konflikt. Ich liebe es. Vielen Dank. Vielen Dank für das erste Mal. Das ist toll.

02:32:05 All right, and then next up, who do we have, Meinerin? And next up, we have Sif-Surf, Ollie Blueville from Sagittarius. And we have Minfina, Goddess of Love, and Goddess of Moon. Ew. You know, for some reason, as she's doing this, I imagine one of the other, uh, one of the other deities kind of just, like, with a tombstone phone and, like, taking a picture. Just taking a screenshot. Yes.

02:32:34 Oh, Armour was three months, Mask was second, and second version was about a month. Wow, so that's like almost half a year in total. Crazy. Work. Yes. And Fina, very cute. Lots of moon. Thanks for being said in chat. Very, very cute. I love the way they use colors in this too. It's very poppy and very cute. Alright. It's very soft.

02:33:04 Okay, so thank you so much for submitting this one. Very, very cute. Next up, we have Kumagic or Nachi Farinas of Ultros. And this goes, it went straight up from very cutesy and fun to somewhat emotional. Oh my gosh, I know.

02:33:30 Das ist so schön. Es ist so schön und es ist so schön. Ich liebe es. Ich liebe es. Es ist so viel yellow. Obviamente.

02:33:51 I'm getting emotional looking at this, like I'm having a very emotional reaction looking at these colors. Mhm, mhm, yeah. But it is time for us to move on. Yes. It's so meanery. Who do we have next? Next we have Grailvy Nyan from Tonberry, who is cosplaying the Second Promise, Kona. Ooh.

Weitere Community Commendations und Dankesworte

02:34:18

02:34:18 Wow, so we've met, I feel like we've brought up every single Catboy. In the stream, probably. Yeah. It's pretty funny. But also, at the same time, the amount of effort that it probably took to get this done is awesome. Like, I love the glasses, too. The extra pair that he always carries with him, so good. And look at all, like, the little accented, like, metal pieces on this, too. It's so, so good.

02:34:48 And it really comes together, too. Fantastic work, for real. Thank you so much for allowing us to showcase this.

02:34:57 Alright, thank you, thank you. And then next up, we have Chunky Ninja. Oh, sorry, is this you? No, no, no, go ahead. Okay, we have Chunky Ninja or Chunky Ninja from Spriggan. And I believe, what was the, there was like a subtext for this, like a title for this one, right? I think so, let me see if I can find it. It was like, if the Warrior of Light was like, Anamazoo, right? Anamazoo, yes.

02:35:30 Das ist super cool. Ja, das war die Subtex, ja. Das ist so cool. Und dann haben wir Samurai, auch? Ja, und dann haben wir die Ezem-Crystal auf der... Oh mein Gott, ich habe das. Das ist super funny. Awesome, awesome. Oh, und dann haben wir eine Skaar auf der Eye, auch. Was ein Edgy Namazu. Das ist sehr schön.

02:36:00 All right, well, thank you. Excuse me. Thank you so much for submitting this piece. It's awesome. Very, like, out-of-the-box subject. So, really, really cool. All right, and then Minarine, who do we have next? All right, next up we have AlarmingPound4481, who depicted a warrior. It looks like Gaia, actually. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Yeah, looks really cool. It's a very intense scene right here.

02:36:29 I can really feel it, too. I love how the colors are pretty dark until you get to where the axe hits the ground. Yeah, like the point of impact. Yeah, the point of impact. I think it also helps bring emphasis to where that action is happening. So sick. I like it a lot, too.

02:36:52 The details on this are really nice. The style is awesome. The way everything kind of has a different texture almost. It puts so much depth into this. Big fan. Thank you so much for submitting this piece. Alright.

02:37:10 We were talking about Shadowbringers today. We were talking about Shadowbringers. This is kind of sick. Like, what? This showdown is one of my favorites throughout the entire story. Yeah, that's actually super cool.

02:37:43 Oh. Ja, die Effekte sind auf beide sieben. Das ist so, so cool. Und dann gibt es auch Elemente von Light, die sind in verschiedenen Bereichen, wie die Sword, oder wie man es nennt, die Maske. Und dann die Background, auch. Das ist so sick. Das ist toll. Danke so sehr für das Buchstaben. Das ist wirklich epic. Danke, danke.

02:38:10 All right. And then next up, I believe this is our last one, right Minarine? Would you like to close this out? Our very last one is from A.D. Pong. It is of an FC that they were commissioned to draw. Their FC is not named here. It's a static formed from several players who have done the Future's Rewritten Ultimate. Wow, a Fuguru. Wow, that's awesome.

02:38:40 So, um, so there is a depiction of a cat in the corner. I see someone in chat talking about this. So the story behind this is that one of their static members had to actually step out of static, but they wanted to commemorate them by putting their cat in one of the screens. I see. That's really nice because I feel like...

02:39:07 Es ist sehr wie ihre Erinnerungen, aber dann ist es die Team der Erinnerungen, auch. Das ist ein schönes Touch. Das ist wirklich, wirklich cool. Vielen Dank für uns, dass wir uns zu zeigen haben. Das ist toll!

02:39:22 Thank you very much everybody!

02:39:49 Ja, wir finden es via Reddit auch, glaube ich. Und sicher ist es unter Original Art. So Minarine will send you a message. Und bitte nicht panik, MS Minarine. Es ist wirklich her. Es ist mir, ich promise. Das ist meine Reddit account. SC underscore Minarine. Das ist mir. Es happens once a Jahr. Es ist super funny. Es ist great. Es gibt mich ein Laugh. Und dann, last but certainly not least, Sie können es auch auf die Forums posten.
