New BeneG video

I didn't see anyone else link it yet. New funny animation from BeneG! The silent "What the f" moment is probably my favorite part.

BeneG is a legend!

It's amazing how expressive he managed to make that without seeing his face.

I'm so glad these forums are basically just YouTube video links now. I was getting sick of seeing posts about the game.

Someone has always linked one of BeneG's XIV animations. They're pretty well-liked by the community. This is an actual content creator who creates things people enjoy.

The WoL singing can't be beat, but this is great too lol. I find the idea of the WoL being this off the wall crazy person that just happens to always save the world hilarious.

Could be worse. It's better than sending an army of bots out to /shout spam links in the starter cities.

That silent "wtf?" was fantastic.

You knew it was a Dark Knight...

Idk if Loporrit Zenos can be beat.

Loporrit Zenos is pretty funny. The one with the boombox that nopes out is my favorite part.

Agreed - and he(?) is clearly very talented. Atop the outright hilarious videos he's made, there was also this one:

Oh, dropping that one on people with no warning is just cruel.

I think its one of his best, but still. lol

I know he makes these in a totally different engine and it's probably easier when you only have to animate the WoL and not care about other player models and all that, but it'd be so cool if our cutscenes actually had this level of "stuff happening" in them and weren't mostly just 2 cardboard cutouts staring at each other and using /handover emotes to pass invisible items between each other occasionally. It's so damn dry and wears me down even when the dialogue happens to be mildly interesting and I've never understood why this was the case when FF games are generally known in the current era for being games that create a bombastic cinematic story experiences. Hell, if you look at 1.0's cutscenes -- yeah, it bombed, and yeah, there weren't many cutscenes, but the ones they had were dynamic and interesting to watch.

Ah, good stuff.

It is good to see something that is not "This game is dead because I personally don't like it" posts every day, from the same 4-5 players on a loop.

Agreed! But I think that was the point really - it was unexpected.

I hope he does something like that again.

This is probably the most expressive Hythlo have ever been lol.

The one with Emet shooting the Crystal Exarch was hilarious.

Yes! Especially with the WoL leaning around and trying to signal for the Exarch to look behind him.

I agree. I wouldn't mind seeing a bit more in game cutscenes. I do think there is probably that element that what he works on is self-contained and there are a lot more moving parts in the game-cutscenes and they need to cater to a wider range of hardware. I will be interested to see if that aspect changes with the graphical upgrade.
