FFXIV: Endwalker - Thavnair Zone Tour (Lore Video)

Описание: FFXIV Endwalker Media Tour: An in-depth tour of Thavnair and its lore!

----All footage is in development and subject to change----

Thavnair ended up having so many layers of lore to dive into! We've been hearing about this region for ages in game from a variety of sources and it was amazing to finally be able to explore the island itself. Between references to the alchemical 'Great Work' and a ton of cultural and religious influences from India, this zone had some of my favorite discoveries in it as I researched!

I'm so grateful to have been a part of the 2021 FFXIV: Endwalker Media Tour this year! A huge thanks to Square Enix for the invitation. I had an incredible time!

Be sure to check out my Media Tour playlist, which includes lore tours of Old Sharlayan, Thavnair, & Garlemald, 10 in-depth looks at jobs in Endwalker, and two dives into our new dungeon!

Although I researched/wrote the script, a huge thank you to Revan_Alva who also provided a couple supplemental resources on India and Hinduisim (without knowing the context of the vid)! I appreciate you sharing your culture with me!

Endwalker releases November 23rd, 2021 with early access starting November 19th.

There were so many, I compiled them into a list!

Also, as a note- one of the images in the Hamsa Hatchery is technically the symbol known as a Hamsa, popular throughout the middle East, which relates to the Evil Eye. It was slipped in by our editor!
