Urianger is the funniest member of the crew, bar none. Dude tries to exude mystery and gravitas, but after a while you realize he's just a nerd in a black dress trying and failing to make up for his imagined shortcomings. Learn to swim? Fuck that, he tries to walk on water. Find out about a possible catastrophe? Manipulate a group of shadowy demigods into revealing their plans and sacrifice one of your bests friends to prevent two apocalypses at the same time. Wear glasses? Fuck that, not one but *two* sets of goggles and face-concealing cowl to hide sideburns to immaculately sculpted you could take measurements with them, *just because*.

My favourite is Matoya, probably because I, too, am a cranky old lady who is done with everyone's shit.

There's already a post on Tumblr but Urianger is just the most character of all time. He's a fully grown man with exquisitely maintained muttonchops who religiously wears dresses. He has an almost supernatural knack for seamlessly working his way into the friendship of the local beast tribes. He tricks pixies into getting him afternoon tea. He can't swim. He's both a Yugioh and a Jojo reference at the same time. He becomes Earth's ambassador based sheerly on his ability to give literally anything a try without a shred of irony. His childhood best friend snapped him in half as an established secret handshake. He only speaks in Shakespearean English. He's a master of prophecy. He joined the Scions specifically to find a really good book. He can tell an entire audience of people his favorite food is cockatrice balls without so much as batting an eye. He is so secret-keeper coded that he's had the weight of the multiple worlds and countless lives placed directly on his conscience twice and he didn't utter a peep either time. He has an insta-death spell. He's a healer. Hades has absolute velcro hooks into my heart but Urianger and Papalymo take up the remaining portions of heart meat I have left. Gentleman's Club.

My boy Magnai out here still maidenless and no Nhaama. I got your back my brother. You're not alone.

My favorite is Lyna. She's intensely loyal, and sensitive, but she's not afraid to kick some butt if that's what needs to be done. Also, she has an amazing voice actor.

No love for Ysayle Dangoulain? She was the literal coolest.

As a Zenos enjoyer, you nailed me so perfectly I'm going to charge you rent for being in my head.

My favourite is Gaius, and he was left out :( He fully acknowledges his past wrongdoings and is actively working to make up for them; even keeping someone nearby to kill him in case he strays from his new path.

"you are one of those people who look like a cinnamon roll but will kill you." As a lalafell black mage that is entirely accurate. Also Tataru is awesome.

you missed Hildabrand. His quest line is a nice wind down from the tedious msq and makes me laugh with how silly it is. somehow no matter what he ends up where he needs to be despite not knowing the details. Also missed Mide

My favorite character in all of FFXIV, is my own. Though the WoL rarely says much, I've never gotten so attached to a characters story so much. If I had to choose an NPC, it would very easily be Lyna.

Venat and Emet are my favorites and you aren't wrong, that slow walk scene had me in tears and I just wanted to root for her to keep on going. Even thinking back on it now makes me a little teary eyed. Some times the hardest choices are the right ones, and some times you just gotta do what you gotta do.

Zenos is my favorite, but not because I love villains. I mostly love him because he served as a reality check for the WoL. Everything up to that made us out to be damn near invincible--Zenos, meanwhile, was the "Allow me to retort" bitchslap that, honestly, I respected. I still wanted to finally get that rematch, but I respected it. Also, thiccness is never a bad thing.😁

Guilty as charged where Venat is concerned, especially about That Cutscene 😭

My favorite is Ardbert. I usually can't cry, like literally, but to loose him... this absolutely made me cry. I absolutely loved his (german) voice. It was so comforting and I seriously miss it so much, that I think about it to start Shadowbringers again. (even if I haven't finished Endwalker yet)

You had to throw that "little sun" in there, had you xD

Yes be sad for me. My fav is Haurchefant and I will love him forever.

5:08 Thank you 😥 I was devasted when he died and I'm still sad. Despite time and all the new encounters he's my favorite FFXIV character forever ❤

"This is a personal attack, so don't forget to get offended." Just, the way you delivered that little tidbit, so funny! Seriously top-tier satire, I love it!

I feel so called out with the Yotsuyu one, especially considering the fact that I wrote Tsuyu into my character's story. I'm going to charge you a mortgage, since you basically live in my head.

big fan of Gosetsu here, hope they bring him back again as a samurai also a big fan of Curious Gorge and Hoary Boulder. Roe fan in general, tbh, the story needs more Roe representation

Me, a female bisexual who prefers women, who's favorite character is Sir Aymeric because I want a pretty boy in a pretty boy castle: 👁👄👁

What about Dulia-Chai? I just loved how absolutely adorable she was, how she supported Alphi and encouraged her husband 💜 I may be basic but I also love Ardbert. Who can forget his scene with Seto!? 😢

The Ser Aymeric description was 100% accurate 😂

The insult to our favorite himbo Hien. We have never forgotten you Q_Q Also being called out for the HW trailer scene with the Dragoons, guilty as charged.

Now wait a minute! Watched alllllllll the way to the end and no Little Sun........ did I miss it!? Where is Little Sun!? Like seriously. We need more Little Sun!

Magnai is my favorite! Just a hopeless soul loving for there one true love... But also reject. 😅

My favorite character is Emet-Selch, but I would tie him with my second favorite character, Lahabrea, and third favorite character, Elidibus. I think each of them is a charismatic and powerful antagonist despite each suffering some mishandling at the hands of the writers. I struggle to call them outright villains since their motives are noble and the fact that they were put into situation they were is thanks to actions of Hermes and Venat. They don’t need to be fixed or helped, they don’t need to be taught to move on, they are wonderful as they are and I would do the same in their shoes. Rip the Unsundered, it’s incredibly sad that they had to die knowing they accomplished nothing.

This does need a Part 2. Also what if our favourite character is our WoL? If I can't pick that, then... I'll get back to you on that while I cuddle with Alpha and OMG.

"it's just hard for you to conceptualize the fact someone can love you for who you are." Ah. Oh.

I can already tell what you'll say about Emet-Selch fans Edit: Yes I love Kan-E and yes I love LotR

I need one for Zero.

Currently post-heavensward. I kinda liked Nero tol scaeva's growth during the crystal tower alliance raids. I hope he comes back later on in the story ad an ally

I didn't expect you to include Cirina, but I'm so very glad you did! My eyes lit up and I gasped at 6:58 xD ♥

Been a while since I played ffxiv, however, I was very happy you've mentioned Raubahn at 4:45. I loved many of the characters here but always felt he was a bit underappreciated and would have loved to see more of him (in every way)

I adore Runar cause he’s just such an innocent baby in everything he does. Out of the ones mentioned, I pick Lyse because she tries her best to help others and do good things despite having the airhead blondie syndrome.

Where was Ardbert, his bff time in Shadowbringers was so good.

How can you forget Feo Ul! My favorite character in Shadowbringers. Favorite all time character Hildibrand/Godbert

You forget on my beloved Gaius (I love his personality) and Nero (he is just badass) xD

Its hard to pick, Graha is one of my favorites, but I absolutely love all the characters in the Manderville crew. Especially Godbert and Hildibrand. Any characters that can make me laugh are instant favorites for me.

Urianger is unironically my favorite Scion, tied sith Estinien.

I love alphinoud mainly cuz hes adorable, and his little sibling arguments with alisae are cute af

My favorites are Haurchefant, Hythlodaeus, and Erenville. I'm sweet, friendly, and like people who are kind, competent, and emotionally mature. I also like Urianger because he's a lot like me- seems very aloof and put together/mysterious, but is secretly a massive dork who gets easily flustered. Funnily enough, I am an artist just like you guessed!

I feel so called out for Emet, but I’m sad no Lyna was mentioned, as she was what made me a Viera honestly, and I truly appreciate her dynamic with us and G’raha. Still a good list though Avy.,

Lahabrea’s my favorite because my conspiracy corkboard takes up an entire wall and I can analyze that dude’s psychology for hours without taking a break. I’ve analyzed shot framing, arc projection, narrative structure, trial songs/mechanics, dungeon and random NPC lore details, scenery, seasonal events, ancient society/culture, Zoarastrianism, Kabbalah, Jungian psychology, and more that ties into what’s up with him. I am just a step short of reading the future in tea leaves and planetary positions here. Was not surprised by the Abyssos reveals and have been looking under every rock for Lahabrea to return in MSQ since Endwalker kicked off. I get sincerely sad for the dude, he needs a ton of therapy. I’ve loved him to bits before having any clue what he looked like and at this point he could literally show up with a paper bag on his head and I’d be delighted. Some fans specifically like sad older guys. Some vibe with his tired energy. Some think he cackles in ARR because he’s the flat villain who will do whatever the plot demands. Others think he hasn’t slept in five days, is hysterical, and can barely string a thought together. In Toto-Rak, Lahabrea made an excuse that he only sounds incoherent because sundered language sucks upon realizing the Warrior understands Ancient, talked in a complete circle about bedtime (using five different synonyms for interesting), threw a bug at the Warrior, and ran away. Could be iffy writing but could also be the guy’s a loser nerd who lost control of his life and is trying his best to seem intimidating. I think he’s been done real dirty from the moment he showed up onscreen and is due to return anytime now.

The only correct answer is.....Hildibrand Helidor Maximillian Manderville, Agent of enquiry, inspector extraordinaire. 😎

I love ur editing great video!

Its basically smash or pass but everyone is smash

Zenos wasn’t my favorite character. He was my friend. He saw through my best and my worst even if I only nodded.

Definitely hit the nail on the head with the Yugiri explanation :)

Thancred: More I LOVE Percy from TLoVM and his VA {Talesin Jaffe) was Thancred's VA in ARR. Urianger: I like nerdy guys (see Percy comment from earlier).

Khloe anyone? i love doing my Wonderous tales just for this adorable Miqo'te, it brighten up any day

I would say my favorite character in the story is my own WoL and my friend's WoL. Their slice of life romantic story, partially revolving around the MSQ - sometimes heavily when we pass through expansions - is so vibrant and full of personality and affection. While it might be just Roleplay/Fanfic, it gives them the dimensions the MSQ doesn't really give. I haven't been all that invested in the story as the times when me and my friend fully roleplay through it, bickering and flirting and turning one off locations into memorable ones by just having our characters interact differently than if they were to be going through the story solo.

Emet-Selch will always be my favourite, I just love sarcastic villains with tragic back stories. Not to mention the whole [[SPOILER INCOMING YOU'VE BEEN WARNED! -->]] WoL being a sundered version of someone he knew and was close to, that just writes romantic plots all by itself and then leaves you emotionally devasted :D.... T_T I miss him.

Need to do a shout out for one of my big faves, Stephanivien de Haillenarte, the machinist job trainer. He is full of entusiasm and questionable decisions and definitely on the spectrum and I adore him. (also I have a fun crack!inventor OT3 with him, Cid and Nero. 😛) Love your videos! 💜

I was worried about if you would include Venat or not... And then I got hit with arrow you fired. Everything you said about her rang true and I just... Thanks for that. Great video as always 💜

*watches video preparing to get called out. Gets called out*

Loved that callout to yourself at the end. lol

Jullus will always be my MVP of Endwalker. I love that boy.

Oh, my god! Emet-Selch is my favourite, too! Love your videos. Your accent is cool.

Yeah, Haurchefant... he's my boy. My boi. I can't get over him. My FC makes fun of me for it but I don't know why it hurts so fkn bad. Any opportunity to learn more about him or make up lil headcannons about him, I'm on it. I don't wanna water down his sacrifice but I'd happily travel to Halone's halls to cuddle and have cocoa with him again. I'm taking a second character through the MSQ rn. Last night, I arrived outside The Vault... Haurche and Alphi just standing there totally unaware of the TRAUMA ahead. Girl I fkn turned my ass around, did every duty roulette available, decorated my FC room and then logged the hell off 🤣 I can't do itttttttttt

I have two; Alphinaud and Themis is pretty close too! Also had a few laughs from the video, haha!

G'raha is my fav of course because he is so adorable and loyal to the WoL. I find that every time we are mentioned he seemed to get excited to go with us lol.

Hilda is my #1 favorite, but a lot of other favorites of mine showed up on here and you are not wrong about any of them.

As a Krile and Yugiri enjoyer, you got me pegged pretty exact here.

Omg G'raha is my favourite and what you said for him was terrifyingly accurate lmao

Great video! ❤

If possible say something about ysayle on next video

Psyched you mentioned Cirina, she's definitely one of my favorites. Lots of people have mentioned other missed ones for a possible round 2, but I'll add some more. Kurenai: I loved the Ruby Princess quests, and when they finished I was honestly bummed that I couldn't find her character in-world. When I found out she was a custom deliveries character I was very psyched to see her again. Hilda: Liked her in Heavensward, wished they'd used her in more scenes.

I didn't realize how real alisaie's description was Jeez kupo

Oh, there's another reason for Urianger. You found out he shares a voice actor in Japanese with Jaden from Yugioh GX, and thus him being an Astrologian is constantly hilarious

Hildibrand. I started a new character just to re-experience the whole quest line from jump. Well, that’s a lie, I wanted to re-do the whole MSQ as a mage this time (SCH/SMN and RDM) as I played a door-kicker (PLD, GNB, SAM, RPR) all through the first playthrough. Bonus: I get to meet Hildy, Nashu, Greg, Godbert, Julyan, and the whole madcap gang all over again. Best sidequests ever.

Gosetsu is my favorite I was real happy when you mentioned him :DD

omg the game is open in the other monitor and when i heard that dm sound i checked so hard

I got called out so hard on Thancred and Hermes lol.

I lost it at "an exception."

i am offended since i dislike Alphinaud the most BUT Vanilla Ice Cream is my favorite Ice Cream!!! :D

....I feel called out on layers I didn't knew I had /D Too true. G'raha and Hythlo and of course Emet for me /)

You had mine at the end but no comments.. Feo Ui I'll also put in Nashu Mhakaracca as a second :) Now we need Part II :)

I am almost disturbed how perfectly you summed up my opinion regarding Yotsuyu

Ahaha, big chuckle at the Gaia part. 😂

Would have loved to see your take on M'naago and Lyna as they are some of my favourites

My fav character is a unique character who appears on Scholars quest only (and in a dungeon: The Wanderer’s Palace (hard)) and they is named Surito Carito

i feel attacked. here's a like and a sub. i'll be back to finish the video once i finish endwalker.

My fav has alway been Graha since the start of the game and I screamed at how horrifyingly on point it was. I'm called out

what happens if you do not have a favorite and you have the hots for half the men in FF14? What does that say about me? LOLOL I would take one for the team with Lord Zenos.. I mean how else are you to get him out of his armor so you can kill him? Or not? LOL 😅😅😅

I’ve soooo been called out. Yda is my favourite, and I HAVENT finished heavensward yet 🙈 Honorable mentions to Iceheart, Moenbryda and Merlwyb because reasons 🌝

Your eyeliner is really good.

Nah, there’s no way any of these are accurate- *Alphinaud, Thancred, Lyse, G’raha, Gosetsu, Ryne, Gaia, Hien, Yugiri, Venat, Hythlodaeus, Hermes, and Emet-Selch show up* Yeah… that’s on me, I thought it wasn’t gonna be that accurate

I am deeply offended that you did not include the best character ever, Runar! How dare you, AvyCatte! Great video, as always. I'm so happy I found your channel.

I love G'raha, Aymeric,Thacred,Venat,Hytholeaus, Alphiaud , and Alisae

Zeno's is one of the greats because his presence just elevates every cutscene he's in, also His ideology is fun(ny) Raubahn is Gr8 2

My favorite story character is Ardbert because... dude really goes through some very well written character development. And I also like characters who have a history with mental health issues like he does. But my de facto favorite character is my own Warrior of Light. I have never bawled my eyes out for another character more than I did for my own, especially in ShB.

ill take the cirni description. also, while she is not a major character, i love the goofy earnestness of zhloe aliapoh. while i liked the concept of ehll tou more for bringing people together, zhloe's compassion and near constant attempts at food poisioning was endearing.

Daddy Thancred. Though he was my favorite even in ARR and I was concerned when he turned out to be Laha and how it made no sense with his character until then. Was relieved when possession plot point came out. Best boi didn't betray. Kururu on the second place.

As a big fan of Tataru's criminal antics. Yes. Yes absolutely. Would do crimes together, 10/10.

Hey just wanna say that you showed up on my KZfaq shorts feed and thought your shorts were really funny. 😅

How did you managed to attack me 10 times in a single video XD

8:00 You got me 💀

Aymeric is my favorite and honestly you're absolutely right. I wish you could have repeat dinner dates with him in-game.
