Once when the app wasn’t working I had to plug in a flash drive

I think you can change the file output as well. I switch back to jpeg and they are def lower quality but I wanted the lower size

#

yeah I know but I wanna avoid using Twitter, I unlinked it from my PSN awhile back

#

besides Twitter is also a serious butcher of image quality torgalSits

So watching Elise (as in Jiangshi not my OC lol, streamer Lorie raided) going through it with FF16 and, Lor I think you two could easily be besties, she gives off the same vibe and reactions that you do lorAW

sour iron
#

What's the policy on posting clips from another stream, if we have one? Because Jiangshi just had the exact same reaction to Torgal doing his backflip KO that Lorie did and I thought posting the clips side by side would be fun

humble oasis
#

Yes they’re super lovely!! I’m glad I got the chance to raid

You know who he reminds me of? It took me a long time but I finally figured it out. He reminds me of a younger jensen ackles

sour iron
#

Isn't he voicing Batman now in the new DC animated movies?

viscid pollen
#

obsessed with how artists are drawing clive because they're all agreeing that he looks 2 seconds away from bursting into tears bc of his big eyes and i agree

dry ibex
#

He is so babygirl coded……gonna bite my fist

#

He eepy catCRY catCRY

#

Don’t ask why i decided to spam torgal at 6:40am just enjoy it

#

That’s a gif if it doesn’t load for anyone just click on it you should see it catCRY

#

#

When I tell you this part gagged me

You’re welcome lorAW lorHUG

#

Gonna be staring at these while I’m the dentist chair this morning … and then while making very stressful phone calls later lorPETS

viscid pollen
#

babz sadCat good luck with the phone calls, you got this!!

#

im editing the next part for ff16 and i was just thinking about how clive's relationships with everyone are influenced by his trauma and past experiences gatorSits the one scene where he leaves torgal and cid behind and he feels the need to apologize even though it can't be helped because he feels like if something were to happen to them it would be his fault

dry ibex
#

I love this scorpio man

viscid pollen
#

im kinda obsessed with him

tulip dust
#

I am so obsessed with him

tulip dust
#

He has a lot of moments that remind me of Shulk crying

dry ibex
#

So true Babz

#

My other favorite mericCat

viscid pollen
#

he reminds me of zack fair but not personality wise, more like puppy wise gatorSits

dry ibex
#

He reminds me of an orange cat. Head empt only vibes (but they’re bad vibes because he’s traumatized)

#

Just a little bit of stupidity to make me go lorAW

viscid pollen
#

losing my mind at cid coughing his lungs out after priming and torgal just doing a lil sniff sniff to check on him

#

the way i typed koga instead of torgal first and i had to delete it gatorSits

humble oasis
#

LOL

#

He really do be like that 😭 just more aggressive. Will sense you’re not doing okay and jump in your face to give you emergency kisses or smoosh you by trying to sit in your lap

#

dont open this in a new window, the recommended popular clips have spoilers in them lmao

#

Catching up on Lorie’s playthru and Gav is just so important

viscid pollen
#

im going thru it

#

i was too busy thinking about how clive is naked but i didnt even realize that when it fades to black, you can hear his sobs

tulip dust
#

I just still wanna know why they had to tie him up nekkid. Like give my man some privacy he was going thru it 😭

viscid pollen
#

right like what was the reason if you were gonna free him anyway like 5 mins after he woke up

#

and then cid calling him pretty like ????

#

also saying "i can take you, if that's what you want"

#

i appreciate the homoeroticism cid, but my mans is going thru it

tulip dust
#

Right like it was not the time

What was the reason CID 😭

viscid pollen

what was the reaaaason 😭

#

RIGHT

Cid was ready to offer his bussy for Clive and like so real I’m telling y’all that cid is gay coded as fuck!

I’m obsessed with them

#

Thinking about my girl benedikta mericCat

viscid pollen
#

me too

#

still processing

#

still mad

dry ibex
viscid pollen
#

thinking about all the men that fucked her over and how she deserved much better

dry ibex
#

She should’ve been with me! Then she’d still be fine!

#

Honestly I love her. That first fight was so raw and emotional like I felt that. And then they expanded on it………like she’s still fine idgaf what yoship said!

viscid pollen
#

im mad because she was so isolated to the very end gatorSits like i know cid tried to get her to come with him, but she was just scared, you can't really promise a woman that's been through what she's been that things will be okay in an uncertain environment, knowing the possibility that you will be hunted together, i wouldn't go with him either

#

i just think men screwed her over and she deserved more after what happened to her

tulip dust
#

She really did.

#

I wanted her to kill one of those men so badly gatorSits

viscid pollen
#

same gatorSits

#

this transcends language

humble oasis
#

i'm very sad about benedikta as well ;o;

#

her character reminded me so much of someone who has been rejected all her life and treated like garbage. she finally had something that was HERS that she could be proud of after so many people had used her. then the thing got taken away. she was putting her self worth as well probably into how she could affect men but cid was different for her and i think that was kind of like her last rejection almost?

tulip dust
#

Her character had so much potential im just like 😭

viscid pollen
#

yeah, for sure, you could see that after her trauma with men, she decided to weaponize it instead by attracting all of them and using them for survival purposes only. which honestly, i have a lot to say in general about how these types of stories are handled, cause regardless of how i feel about her, the SA plotline followed by such pain was just... really discouraging for me. you could see most of it was a façade because she was just scared, she took pride in the one thing that could protect her and then even that was gone gatorSits

humble oasis

#

how didn't people get it in the first 5 mins NotTooFondOfGayPeople

#

i better see a 100% by the end of this month

dry ibex
#

That was her only way of surviving in the world. Id fr breakdown too

#

That’s why I liked that scene after Clive initially took her powers away

#

She was DEVASTATED the fact that the VA and the animators were able to make it so raw had me in awe of her I love benedikta

humble oasis
#

I like that we all have diff views about her character. It’s really cool!!

plain zinc
#

we talking about benna?

#

cause if so, yall gonna have to wait for my book out this summer "bennedikta: the best character of ffxvi and why she deserved more than what she was given. the story of how once more they used a woman's abusive past as a weapon against her"

#

i have more things to say, but i'll wait until everyone's finished

#

good things though

dry ibex

Your opinions are always so right and so true let’s kiss rn

This description of Clive is literally Shulk’s as well

Caught up to stream and OOF Benedikta!!!! Shame her trauma is how we learn Clive is a FF Protagonist (very GoT, adding it to the list) but the acting and the exploration of why she’s grieving is so impactful. Dominants are definitely abused by their kingdoms as the resident megazord, but it’s still “safer” than being a Branded, or being a woman in general in Valisthea. It’s a shit safety as she showed us, and that just made it so painful

you're so valid

it was the stupidest thing ever. absolutely no reason for him to be naked lol

#

and i ate every single minute of it

viscid pollen
#

👏

plain zinc
#

i'm just glad that for once it's a man being objectified

viscid pollen
#

we need more naked clive but hopefully in less ...... sad conditions Sits

#

but i need more, they're right for it

tulip dust
#

Cid didn’t have to say he could take him like that and call him pretty when the man was going thru it

#

We deserved the scene minus the trauma gatorSits

dry ibex
#

Cid likes a sad, pathetic man and he’s so right for that

plain zinc
#

he didn't have to be naked. period
a full on breakdown scene that ended in a bum shot

they saved the bum shot for the very end, like a cherry on top

“Trauma followed by lulz, can’t lose”

i couldn't even take the scene serious cause i was like

viscid pollen

you know, i was also kinda grateful for it because he says the most depressing, most suicidal things in that scene so i was like... a lot of people will see your ass and frankly that's a great distraction from getting triggered

hello twitch staff watching the stream 👁️

#

editing the next part for ff16 and

#

so amazed by how expressive he is

#

like you can see how depressed he is at the thought of remembering what he's done and his fear and then he takes a sniff of the fresh air and his eyes light up and he smiles

#

devastated gatorSits

dry ibex
#

Gonna lick his face

viscid pollen
#

im ngl tho while his situation is unrealistic due to the fantasy setting, i really disagree with people calling him edgy because his mental health journey is so real 😭 im pretty sure yoshida made a comment on it at some point too and he said that that's what they wanted to focus on with him

dry ibex
#

People who call him edgy are people who have zero media literacy and also never healed their trauma and never will

He’s like the opposite of edgy to me Omgggg

#

Batman is edgy. Clive is softboy trying to make sense of the world he’s in

Like he occasionally gets Batman voice which I guess is kinda edgy but otherwise I can’t think of that many depictions of male pro tags that are shown going thru and processing crying emotions and crying and

dry ibex

Batman

viscid pollen
#

i think it's funny because to me, there's no ff protag that could be described as that. people say that about cloud and that's probably one of the weirdest mischaracterizations of him 😭 same with squall

oh and lightning too

Idk ppl are also saying Jill has no personality so I’m like maybe we’re not playing the same game or maybe I’m just very obsessed with these characters and other ppl don’t pay attention to things gatorSits

#

Jill has no WHAT?!
Are people pulling an FF14 and saying the story sucks while skipping all the cutscenes or something what the fuck is going on

viscid pollen
# tulip dust Idk ppl are also saying Jill has no personality so I’m like maybe we’re not play...

i was afraid that might be the case but i think, from the few scenes i've seen so far in lor's playthrough, she has a lot going on for herself. probably my favorite scene of hers so far was clive saying "you haven't changed" and her immediately contradicting him and saying she has, because she has committed a lot of wrongdoings herself, we just weren't witnesses to it, but we can at least witness her guilt and atonement

tulip dust
#

I think even the scenes from the demo show her personality it’s just not what some ppl wanted I guess

i think he said he's open to feedback

#

unless he's changed his mind since?

sour iron
#

No idea, I have no context for how old the google result was and I'm still dodging spoilers and the internet is a minefield

#

I only peeked becuase I wasn't sure if Lorie was being serious or messing with me like "they said no 'cause of you specifically" kind of teasing xD

#

Or if she was setting up an elaborate deez/balls joke.

#

...I have trust issues

viscid pollen
#

"YoshiP said in an interview that if FF16 is popular, and if there is a demand for it, he is up for creating DLC to satisfy that demand"

yeah i haven't seen anything. i'm really lucky 😭

sour iron

I imagine it's so much worse because Lor has to engage with social media on some level because of her job so she can't just total media blackout like I did until I finished 16

so thank goodness for being able to duck spoilers so far

yeah, it's been pretty okay, people on stream have been okay too

if anything, the stream has been the least of anyone's concerns in terms of spoilers

youtube and twitter were scarier lol

yeah, ff14 has a lot of implications and subtext for many many characters, including a trans au'ra npc, i will say though, nothing has even been as in your face as dion is which is what this franchise needed and im so happy

#

he's an important character that is explicitly gay, no subtext and that's fantastic progress

sour iron
#

can't wait for the anti-woke brigade who have been praising the violence and mature themes to get to that scene and do a 180, decrying this as the worst final fantasy ever 🙃

i mean i've already seen something LOL

Yes for a main game from a big company to have a canon gay main character set my heart on fire

square enix has been really progressive. the square panel i was on made me cry when they invited me because one of my fav developers seeing me, my worth, and also my identity meant a lot. they're doing great crying i'm happy to be so connected with them now

I’m happy Square Enix stood their ground and did not opt to remove Dion and Terence kissing, which is why the game is banned in Saudi Arabia.

sour iron
#

I enjoy the implication that Square basically told SA to fuck off snowyTea

viscid pollen
#

things like these are always a sad reality more than anything honestly, because it also deprives queer people of representation in countries where being yourself is not something you can have. so it's always sad when something like this gets censored or people get deprived of access to it altogether, but it is what is, wish things could be different

sour iron
#

True enough. I only meant it in the sense Square was unwilling to compromise by removing the scene and such.
I don't know a whole lot about Saudi Arabia but I'm going to assume based off secondhand and how ban happy they are about LGBTQ+ stuff that it's a hellscape for queer folk

viscid pollen
#

yeah, i didn't mean it to be in a way that rains on people's parade, so i know what you meant! it's absolutely still a huge win that they didn't back down. but on the perspective of something queer being banned, it still is kind of heartbreaking at the end of the day that people won't be able to access this media unless they go through loopholes

One of my favorite pieces of music in this game is one you hear very early on

I just love how freaking talented Soken and his music team are. You usually associate Soken with the big hitting themes like boss music in both 14 and 16 but he's also great at making less bombastic pieces

"Also, now that I’m awake and suffering less from a crushing headache, time to gush about my personal favorite fight in the game now that Lorie has experienced it: Bahamut!

So obviously, the visuals are amazing, the music is incredible, Ifrit and Phoenix fusing and flying into space and tanking a Zettaflare eat your heart out Donald Duck, etc. and its just so fun and overall one of the best boss fights in videogames don’t @ me

But something else that elevates this fight for me is a little thing I like to call Spot the FF14 Reference! And I hecking love FF14.

There will be some spoilers for ARR’s raid series btw, for those who have not finished the coils and care about the story, so I’ll tag the rest of this since I know we still have people going through them and even on a visual spoiler I don’t want to ruin someone’s experience:

Spoiler time!

So starting from when Joshua and Clive team up proper in the last bit of the first phase: ||The way Bahamut descends into the shot, unfurls his wings and roars is the same way he does it both in the ARR opening cinematic, and at the beginning of the final fight of the coils, Bahamut Prime.||

#

||The visuals of Bahamut’s attacks are identical to 14s, with more HD pizzazz, like Megaflare being a bunch of scatter lasers. Mortal Coil and Triple Coil are a callback to Ahk Morn, which made it’s debut in final coil (before we learned this is an attack Midgardsormr and all his brood can do later in the game). It has the same fire at the ground and cause a laser pillar effect. By the way, “Triple Coil.” There are 3 tiers in the coil raid series. :D

Teraflare visually is almost 1 to 1 how it looks in FF14 both seen at the end of the ARR cinematic and in the raid, and the mechanic is a call back to how you mitigate it in final coil by putting up a shield, though its not via the phoenix in 14, instead you must kill adds then stand in a circle. But the basic idea is the same: stand ‘here’ so you don’t die xD

And now for the big spoiler: The penultimate fight in coil is against the Phoenix, who you discover is Louisoix. After defeating him, you’ll see a cutscene which has been dubbed Flames of Truth, in which you witness the moments right after the ARR opening cinematic, where Louisoix becomes the primal Phoenix and tanks Bahamut’s teraflare by flying through it and bursting through Bahamut’s chest. So why do I bring this up? Because Ifrit Risen in FF16 tanking Zettaflare and flying right through it to burst through Bahamut’s chest at the end is another visual callback, it’s almost 1 to 1.||

These things just made me so giddy in addition to it already being an incredible boss fight."
