After discussing the main scenario storyline in the last episode, Klauss, Seyrr, and Chille decide to delve into the aether with Omega and talk about the current tier of raids, the Deltascape. We give our impressions on the fights and story, and talk a bit about what we would like to see moving forward with the Omega series as well as the upcoming Return to Ivalice series. Seyrr goes in-depth with Susano and the idea of Kami, and we discuss why Chille turned into a dancing Chille dog.

Now that everyone on the show has completed the Stormblood story, it’s time for us to give our thoughts on the storyline, dungeons, and quests that took us from the Fringes, across the sea to Doma, and back to Ala Mhigo. Seyrr discusses the eerie similarities between two nation’s patriotic hymns, and we talk about our accomplishments in game since the last episode. We also discover that Chille really does get around in the FFXIV community, but we love his spirit and enthusiasm!
