Ethys is a goldmine for very specific details and advanced lore, but I wouldn't advise everything on it to lore beginners.Â
By watching Ethys vids it's also best to keep in mind that there is two main kinds of vids on his channel:
- Lore coverage like the one on Ala Migho or the story (1.0, or Bindings Coils of Bahamut, etc). It's accessible and very extensive. When he covers something, he does it in depth.
- Most of his vids, especially the older ones, are actually more about musings and speculation based on lore facts or what he knew when he did the video. Because of that a lot of his older vids are a bit obsolete or state facts that we know to be wrong now (like Ascians being tier 1 Voidsent for example). I wouldn't advise to watch those when you don't already know the lore because they mix a good amount of very interesting lore facts and his own speculations.
In short Ethys is a great source of lore and ponderings, but you have to be careful when watching unprepared.
