This is video #382 in my gameplay series of Final Fantasy XI: Ultimate Collection Seekers Edition. Final Fantasy XI Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIZ8kn0xML27foVW3M1tbbFOEztgiagq9 Previously, Heorot continued the Seekers of Adoulin mission line. He made a couple more attempts to subdue Balamor for Seekers of Adoulin Mission 4-6: "Balamor's Ruse" but did not succeed. He concluded with some more grinding in Escha - Ru'Aun. In this video, he will eventually succeed. Then, he will continue the Seekers of Adoulin story a little bit. Note that the successful battle against Balamor begins at time 43:20. Heorot resumes in his Mog House in Bastok. He picks up a couple more Merit Point upgrades. Then, he heads outside. Bastok Mines (time 2:00): Heorot Warps to Eastern Adoulin. Eastern Adoulin (time 2:25): He uses the Waypoint at H-10 to teleport to the Peacekeepers' Coalition. He arrives at F-8. At F-7, Heorot enters the Rala Waterways. Rala Waterways (time 3:35): Heorot gains control at L-5. He hunts a nearby enemy to get another Consummate Simulacrum, the temporary key item needed to enter the battlefield with Balamor. He gets it from the very first enemy. Then, he treks west across the dungeon. At B-6, he examines the Augural Conveyor and chooses the battlefield for "The Charlatan". He is transported to Rala Waterways [U]. Rala Waterways [U] (time 11:44): Heorot, his Trust NPCs, and Arciela make another attempt to subdue Balamor. Heorot starts out badly by trying to put sleep on the wrong enemy. Before he can lose, he exits the battle with Warp. Eastern Adoulin (time 17:23): Heorot regains control at Home Point #2 in Eastern Adoulin. He enters his Rent-a-Room to restore his HP and MP. Mog House (time 17:34): Heorot goes back outside. Eastern Adoulin (time 17:49): Heorot uses the Waypoint at H-10 to teleport to the Peacekeepers' Coalition. He arrives at F-8. At F-7, he enters the Rala Waterways. Rala Waterways (time 18:59): Heorot gains control at L-5. He hunts nearby monsters to get another Consummate Simulacrum. He gets it after a couple of battles. Afterwards, he treks west across the dungeon. At B-6, he examines the Augural Conveyor and chooses the battlefield for "The Charlatan". He is transported to Rala Waterways [U]. Rala Waterways [U] (time 27:39): Heorot, his Trust NPCs, and Arciela make another attempt to subdue Balamor. Heorot takes a different tack this time. Since Balamor's Sycophants are such a pain to deal with, he calls out Kupipi and Cherukiki both. Then, he works on focusing down the Sycophants when they wake up. Things go better for Heorot's party this time around. The only problem is that the "real" Arciela gets KOd by the Regicidal Dullahan. Oops. Heorot just needs to do better keeping her al ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mimmx22U55k

(C) ARMOR PROJECT / BIRD STUDIO / SQUARE ENIX All Rights Reserved. (C) SUGIYAMA KOBO (P) SUGIYAMA KOBO Davilas is currently working on the Version 5.2 storyline. Previously, he worked on the Bardista leg of the story. In Queen Valeria's absence, Bardista was being raided by the Gannon Brothers' gang. Davilas met Beltoro in the castle. He picked up a massive pickaxe deep in the Brannick Quarry. In Belvine Forest West, he used the pickaxe to open the way to Gaushia Forest. In the forest, Davilas found Tobol Village. In his adventures there, he defeated Little Brother Gannon and helped Queen Valeria return to normal. Now, Davilas will continue the main Version 5.2 storyline by revisiting Lord Masen in the Goda Temple. Davilas resumes in his house in the Azlan housing area. Outside, he checks his mail and receives gold for items that sold on the bazaar. Many thanks to the buyers! Davilas Zooms to New Eteene Village. New Eteene Village (time 1:50): Davilas visits the pub and hires a support party. At the bazaar, he puts some more loot up for sale. He deposits most of his leftover gold in the bank. Davilas uses the Abyss Jewel to teleport to the Goda Temple. Goda Temple (time 9:04): Davilas takes the door at D-6 into the temple's entrance hall. There, a scene with Lord Masen and Irusha takes place. Yushka arrives. Lord Masen guides Davilas to the back room and makes a surprising revelation. Interesting indeed! Davilas agrees to become the Great Demon King to save both Astoltia and the Demon World. Then, another scene takes place in the entrance hall. Before Davilas can become the Great Demon King, he must visit Valeria and Asbar and complete their trials. Lord Masen gives Davilas the Letter to Valeria (ヴァレリアへの親書) and Letter to Asbar (アスバルへの親書) key items. Davilas's next objective is to visit Asbar in Zekres Castle. After the scene, Davilas gains control at E-5 in the entrance hall. Lord Masen has story information. Davilas uses the Abyss Jewel to teleport to Zekres. Magic Land of Zekres (time 22:18): Teanorte at B-4 has story information. At G-4, Davilas enters Zekres Castle. Zekres Castle (time 23:59): Quen at C-4 on floor 1F has story info. Davilas goes up to floor 2F. He takes the elevator at G-5 up to floor 3F. Then, he takes the stairway at G-4 up to the throne room on floor 4F. There, he talks to Asbar at G-4. This triggers some dialogue. Asbar teaches Davilas the gesture King's Residence (王者の居住まい). Davilas must undergo a ceremony/trial to obtain Zekres's coronation item. His next objective is to take the elevator to the Ceremony area. After the event, Asbar has story info. Davilas takes the stairway at F-4 down to floor 3F. Then, he takes the elevator at G-5 to the Zekres Castle Ceremony Hall (ゼクレス城・礼典の間). Zekres Castle Ceremony Hall (time 27:58): Davilas arrives at E-5 in the entrance hall. He takes the door at D-4/E-4. Davilas arrives at E-7 in the first trial room. He proceeds to E-6 and examines the large slab. After examining it, he uses the King's Residence (王者の居住まい) gesture. The large slab is lowered to make a board that controls the three gates ahead. Davilas examines the control lever at E-6. Each gate is identified by a number of stars. Each Roman numeral option operates the gates indicated by the flames. A Roman numeral option will open one or more gates. If any of the applicable gates has already been opened, it will be closed. The player must enter a sequence of options that will open all three gates. To open all the gates, Davilas enters the following options: (1) I, (2) III, and (3) "Pull the lever" (レバーを引く). He can now proceed. At D-2, a black chest contains 3 Yggdrasil Leaves. Davilas takes the door at D-1/E-1 to the second trial room. He arrives at D-7. Davilas examines the next slab at D-6/E-6. First, he is presented with a little quiz. The correct answer is 3人 (3 people). The slab lowers, and Davilas is presented with another gate puzzle. It is more complicated because there are four Roman numeral options and five gates to open. To open all five gates, Davilas enters the following options: (1) II, (2) III, (3) IV, and (4) "Pull the lever" (レバーを引く). He can now proceed. At E-2, a black chest contains an Elfin Elixir. More, please! Davilas takes the door at D-1/E-1. He arrives at E-6 in the third trial room. Davilas examines the slab at D-4/E-4. This one asks a question. The first answer is not accepted. The correct answer seems to be the second option. The slab rotates down, providing a bridge to the north.

This is video #029 in my gameplay series of Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Future Redeemed for the Nintendo Switch. Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Future Redeemed [Switch] Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIZ8kn0xML24mkRfO_ooqz3R9jfNjToEn Xenoblade Chronicles 3 [Switch] Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIZ8kn0xML25jIzNLKBL7i1wRUy9oXtWi Previously, the party reached the Prison Terrace atop Prison Island in the Black Mountains, where they fought Moebius N. Then, as Chapter 5 started, they were drawn into Alpha's memory stage aboard Origin, where they viewed a vision of the old world. After some scenes, Alpha revealed himself. The party will now confront Alpha and conclude the main story of "Future Redeemed". 0:00 - Game Load 0:38 - Colony 9 The party resumes at the Colony 9 Camp. Under Affinity Growth, each party member picks up a few class skill upgrades. When they are ready to go, they skip travel to Prison Island Camp, Black Mountains. 4:51 - Prison Island, Black Mountains At the Prison Terrace atop the island, the party takes the Portal to Origin. 5:33 - Origin When they are ready for battle, the party steps forward and confronts Alpha, a Level 49 boss. The battle begins without preamble. Alpha can set up a shield that blocks all incoming damage, so you may not want to use a Chain Attack while it is in effect. A scene takes place after the first bout against Alpha. The party receives some unexpected help, but Alpha is not done yet. After the scene, it is time for the second bout against Alpha, now a Level 50 boss. Na'el has joined the party as a seventh party member, and N is helping as a guest. Alpha's attacks are powerful, so any help is welcome. This version of Alpha also has an invincibility barrier, so be careful. Also, "Requiem for the Olden Ones" will disable Chain Attacks for a while. The Memory Locket, found in a Relic at Gelgemos Garrison, is extremely helpful because it allows a non-Healer to resurrect knocked-out allies. When he charges "Cleanse the Dregs", run out of the area of effect. 31:19 - Final Scenes After the battles against Alpha, the final scenes take place. Good stuff. It shows why the Cent-Omnia Region is not in the main game of Xenoblade Chronicles 3. At this point, Matthew's last name should come as no surprise. 45:13 - Credits Then the credits roll. Scenes from Xenoblade Chronicles 1, 2, and 3 are shown. "Future Redeemed" is an excellent DLC episode, in my opinion. Though it is a prequel to the main story of Xenoblade Chronicles 3, I would say it is best played after completing the main game. 50:23 - Post-Credits After the credits, some things are unlocked. In the main game, a new Time Attack challenge is added to the Land of Challenge. In "Future Redeemed", Na'el becomes available as a party member post-completion. She does not have Affinity Growth or weapon strengthening, but she has access to accessories and gems. Also, the player can now reduce party members' levels at rest spots. I make a post-completion save. Also, there is a new loading screen post-completion. Even though I have finished "Future Redeemed", there are still some things Matthew and company have left to do. They will get started on those activities next time. Thanks for watching! Recording date: September 12, 2023 This video is part of my gameplay series of Xenoblade Chronicles 3.
