Episodes

Stormbuds: Ceci n'est pas une Shiva 24.07.2022

Okay, okay, I've got it- Dravania's hottest club is The Churning Mists. It's got everything: ancient history, girl-eating dragons, and a big beefy flying bear that'll make you do his laundry. If you want to get past the bouncer, you'll have to bring a faintly radioactive woman to the cave with glowing dandelions; you can't miss it.

Stormbuds: Put That Book Back on Your Ass 10.07.2022

Diving deeper into heavensward, we form our adventuring party and set off to try some heretical diplomacy! Along the way we meet some dragon hunters, some chocobo hunters and some alarmingly eager termite people. Who knows what else awaits our heroes in Dravania? (It's probably not pirates).

Stormbuds: Happy Pride 26.06.2022

Alex and Jerome begin their summer vacation in Ishgard by being well dressed for the climate. They take a fun tour of the city, go out to a few sweet countryside locals to see the sights, and get embroiled in a heresy trial again . Those rascals!

Stormbuds: A Traitor in the Midst 12.06.2022

It's the episode we've all been waiting for: the grand finale to A Realm Reborn! As we send off this iconic expansion, we learn that all our friends are dead and gone, we can't trust anymore, and we're never going to financially recover from this. Join us as we experience the end of the patch content and the Binding Coils of Bahamut!

Stormbuds: Liquid Gold 28.05.2022

Refugees, primals and revolutions, oh my! Jerome and Alex tackle the first half of the patch quests wherein they try to juggle about seven different story beats. Also, what's up with that big crystal tower thing? Tune in to find out on this week's episode! Check us out on our socials and discord with the links here! https://linkpop.com/stormbuds

Stormbuds: Future Goggles, Past Self 14.05.2022

In today's extraordinarily long episode, we cover everything from the Dusk Vigil to the end of the Praetorium. Jerome goes on a couple of boomer rants about how bad things used to be and Alex forgets to do his job quests. Gaius rules!

Stormbuds: Grapes 30.04.2022

Why are there so many quests about wine? Why is everyone up in the mountains a huge mean jerk!? And what's been happening back at the Waking Sands this whole time? Welcome to levels 31-40, where exactly one of these questions will be answered. Check us out on our socials and discord with the links here! https://linkpop.com/stormbuds

Stormbuds: Pampylyno 04.04.2022

During levels 21-30, Alex learns that he’s been pronouncing literally every single character and location incorrectly, we discover how bad the Gridanian healthcare system is, and America’s worst internet provider continues to come through when it really counts.

Stormbuds: I Think It's the Nun 06.03.2022

In this episode, we’re off to meet the Sylphs as we play from First Contact through to Trial by Turtle. We talk about the prevalence of “tribal races” in fantasy fiction, if Thancred is a good detective (he’s not), and how playing the game now is different from the early days of ARR.

Stormbuds: I Can't Wait to Die (for the Twins) 18.02.2022

In our inaugural episode we play from the start of the game through Call of the Sea, Jerome reflects on what FFXIV means to him, and Alex is very confused about all of the dudes in robes. We talk about MMOs in general, all the common and not-so-common races the game provides, and speculate about the fate of Bahamut.
