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!
