In this, the conclusion to our epic two-part look at the Dark Knight class-quests, Sean and Chadd break down the story beats of the back half of the saga, including moments widely despised that you might think better of on a second viewing, and deeper cuts than Sidurgu gave Ystride. Other topics include Ishikawa's golf etiquette, M'Jaques Tia'rrida, and Ludonarrative dissonance.

018: The Living Dead I

In this episode, Sean and Chadd take a look at the very apex of FFXIV storytelling, the story that made Heavensward head and shoulders above not just A Realm Reborn, but also competing MMO's, and the story that redefined who your Warrior of Light will become: the Dark Knight Class Quests. Even if you're wearing the Garo tank armor with a claymore and bemoaning everyone else getting a Blackest Night equivalent in Endwalker, trust me, this episode is going to have some stuff for you.
