 You have rekindled the flames of courage that burn within our brave men and women's hearts. And for this I thank you. Now the time for battle is nigh. We must march forth with no worries or regrets. General Robon awaits you at Castrum or Indiana. The battle will not be an easy one, but I trust that you're up to the task. Godspeed, Private Television. Rock the Castrum. Shall we eat or like it? Bum bum. Rock the Castrum. Rock the Castrum. Our hero returns. I trust that your visit has done much to lift the spirits of our garrison on the eve of our greatest battle yet. Time is of the essence. Let us commence the briefing at once. Sh-sh-sh-sh. Chat, get out your popcorn. Angel Thun. Angel Thun. Brothers and sisters of the Alliance, I would share with you glad tidings. Phase two of Operation Archon is a success. Reports tell us that Garleons offered fierce resistance, but that the Admiral yielded them not one in. With Ossidon's Maranum and Orient thus suppressed, the third phase may begin in earnest. The hour has come to strike at the heart of the Garleon Invasion Force. Castrum Meridianum, the Den of the Black War. My fellow Aorzians, I am Manfilia, Mistress of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn. There exist myriad barriers that divide us. Those of race and nation, language and creed to name but a few. These barriers can never truly be broken down, of course. Not so long as there is liberty in the world, but they can be transcended. What? Are you serious, dude? Connection lost? Blizzard! Before me stands the adventurer as Fan Television. You all know him as the man who will lead the unit tasked with destroying the ultimate weapon. I fear I can't accompany you this time. The unenviable task of facilitating communications between our forces has been entrusted to the ironworks, you see. Know, though, that I'll be praying for your safe return. Forward comrades, for Eorzea. Castrum Meridianum is now accessible. Wait, is this good? Okay, Castrum Meridianum. So is this a dungeon or is this a boss? Like, what is this? Is it a dungeon with cutscenes? Okay. Hello, hello, hello, hello? Okay. What is that noise? Okay. Oh, frick. Okay, there's bad guys coming. Wait, did I just do 1459 damage full thrust? How? Don't worry, bigs and wedge have everything in hand. Truth be told, I think they like having the work of three men. Given the size of this place, I suspected there might be an armor or three to be had, and here we are. Listen, Esfan, we intercepted an imperial communication indicating the ultimate weapon is Frick. We also learned that the field which protects the compound is powered by no fewer than three-generator towers. See that shoot? It leads to waste disposal. Somewhere nearby, there will be ceruleum facilities applying fuel to the closest to the three towers. Find the place and break things. Go on ahead, Esfan. I'll be along as soon as I finish my repairs. Ooh, dude, you know what this looks like? This looks like that show White Pound, Majestic Vanguard. Okay, so I'm going here. One, two, boom, boom. Frick, my damage sucks. Why was I doing suck damage? Can I be toxic to myself? Wait, Sid is here. There you are. Sid! I didn't have the patience to take the long way around. What? Okay, now you're doing it wrong. I see you've disabled the first generator. That leaves us with two. You always got to do it the long way. Ugh, bugger. That was me, wasn't it? Well, there's nothing for it but to press on. We must see to the remaining generators before the enemy has the chance to regroup. You go on ahead, Esfan. I'll bring up the rear. Chad, top one of you core in the long way. Let's raise some health. Okay, so here's my damage. So what is good damage? Because Wondorf was owning. I'm almost there. Keep that thing occupied. Damn it, that colossus is enhanced. Hold on, I'll try and think of something. Okay, disembowel at 30 seconds. One, vorpal thrust. Life surge, full thrust, 1249, click. Cool. Michelle, thank you for the 10 gift it's of. Thank you so much, dude. Fine work, Esfan. Stand clear, I have a mind to lose some fireworks. Diverting all power to cannons. Chad, can we get some hearts in the chat for the gifters? Oh, damn it. There goes the core. I fear I may have overestimated its maximum operating capacity by a few orders of magnitude. I blame Marcus. Well anyway, I'll find another way of finishing my sentences before my script deletes itself. Well, well, the traitor himself. I wonder what I should have said, but I started speaking before the dialogue ended. You go on ahead, Esfan. I need to get to the bottom of something. Does Crystal have cool snipers like Aether? Crystal is the best content data center because a lot of the roleplayers are on Crystal. What this means is you have roleplayers who are basically doing stream content without streams. Yeah, we have a guy that sweeps all day. He literally logs into Final Fantasy 14. All he does is he stays in the center of Old Da and he just sweeps the floor. And he asks people to please to keep moving so they don't make the floor dirty. Chatsy, if I see one more comment, you're going to need something big to bring it down. Hold on, Esfan. I'm on my way. Dude, really? Wait, really? Oh, I'm going to change a hotkey. Actually, how do I? Oh, I'm UI. I see that Garland is not with you. Morse the pity. I had hoped to slay him myself, but never mind the traitor now. I have so looked forward to this meeting Esfan Television. Yes, I know much and more about you, about your strength and your hidden talents. I would sample them firsthand and you will indulge me. Why is that moogle making a noise? Zachva, stop laughing. I was today years old when knew what is content. 1.5 year watching y'all from YouTube clip. Okay, you win. I got banned for ACT. You win, unbelievable. Banned for ACT, dude. Chad, I'm sponsored by ACT today. Streamer gets banned for using third-party advocates. True, dude. Okay, hold on, hold on. Before we pull. Okay, okay, you're not supposed to pull until I say we can pull. That's something you need to know. That's how I do things. Okay, Chad, I'm top damage, trust me. You can't see it, but I can. I'm the best. Trust me, trust me, I'm top damage. Oh, okay, hold on. So yeah, I shouldn't do that when it's running. This guy doesn't have damage meter. That's what ACT is, it's a damage meter. Bump, ba-ba. You're not dealing any damage? Wait, why not? How is it that you could be such a thorn in our side? Whenever you appear, you leave havoc in your wake, you even slur it in one of our very finest. Well, I will not speculate. Truth be told, I couldn't care less how you have done these things, and what matters to me is the fact that you have done them. If you are allowed to continue, you will eventually deprive me of all that I have toiled for. All that is mine by right, my minions, my comrades, even my Lord Gaius. Well, you cannot have him. His dreams and ambitions, his body and soul, they are mine. Do you hear me? All mine. I lost everything once before, and I will not suffer. I will not suffer this fast dialogue going through. I will kill you, adventure. Only your death can make me happy. Also, if the dialogue was slower, that would also make me happy. Listen, guys, this is what we've done. I've gathered the best. I've gathered the brightest. I've gathered the finest warriors, champions of Eorzea, in order to take down Bolivia, Malivia. I did the best of the best of the best. That's what we've done. This isn't gonna be easy, okay? But we learned a lot. We have. We've gotten better. We've gotten stronger. We've trained. We've seen a lot of difficult things so far, whether it was the Battle of Cape Westwind, five, six hours in the trenches, blood, sweat, tears, whether it was learning how to use the glamour window, one of the most difficult things I've ever done in my life, it all comes down to this, to take on Livia Van Helsing, or whatever the hell her name is. I will be leading the damage, as always, because I'm an expert in this game. I've already mastered every single thing there is. So just follow my lead and we'll be good to go. Let's get after it. We can go ahead and pull. We can go ahead and pull. Oh, frick, I screwed up. Livia Sassjunius. Let's see, 268, 268 times five is 12. Mm, mm, mm. Lord of Doings, thank you for the 10 gift. Thank you so much, dude. Dude, easy clap, dude. Of course I wasn't gonna die. I was also probably top damage. Probably. It's happening all over again. Please, I cannot bear it. Don't, don't, don't take him away from me. My Lord Gaius. Another poor fool who craved Gaius' affection over all else. May her soul no rest. It is a miracle no harm has come to you, my friend. One for which I will happily give thanks. And the wonders do not end there. Truthfully now, did you really mean to send that assault craft crashing into the Generator Tower? If you did, you're a bloody liar. If you didn't, well, hell, you're too modest. Whichever you are, you've managed to open the door to the Praetorium. The only problem is, we can't reach it on foot. Nay, we'll need to take the Enterprise. I left her at the Ceruleum Processing Plant, so let's regroup there. This is it, Asfand. The final Confrontational waits.
