![I may never emotionally recover from this | Final Fantasy XIV Endwalker Reactions [Part 4]](/img/tr.png)
at long last the ffxiv endwalker series is complete
thank you so much for your patience with this series
i hope you enjoyed my journey
No matter how many times I watch the scene with Metion remembering Hermes' speech in the Elpis flowers, I always tear up a little.
Yeah, both that monologue from Hermes and actually the final words of Fandaniel messes me up every time.
The thing that gets me the most with that scene is the way her eyes shake as she remembers her past... It shows such strong emotion.
Same. When she remembers and we hear that halted speech pattern again in that sweet little voice, I cried and was like "There's the Meteion I know."
There's one line of npc dialogue in The Dead Ends that gets me every time, perhaps because there but for the grace of Hydaeltn goes the Warrior of Light. It's after the peacekeeper, before the portal; a soldier, javing just launched a bunch of missiles, exults "I did it, I killed them all!"
Only to realize.. "I... killed them *all*..."
and I can think of perhaps no fate more tragic.
Zenos showing up, as Shinryu, and being like "bro, I thought you were better than this, why isn't that thing dead yet?" shifted my entire perspective of him. He might be a psycho, but hes our psycho.
"Ive cried all my tears"
Somewhere Ishikawa sets down her tea glass and whispers "challenge accepted"
she wants to see me suffer ;-;
but i love her
Im dying to know if shes working on another project! I hope she is.
@@SuperRamos619 She's was promoted to Writing Director once she finished the core Endwalker story (and she did write ALL of it. Every single of the 244649 words. That's more words then War and Peace). She now manages the writing team and does edits, but no longer directly contributes to the MSQ. She does apparently work on some of the sidequests, but that's it as far as actual writing goes.
"I shall make you weep... when I have finished my tea..."
40:00 "The sorrow of a thousand thousand worlds weighs heavy. And yet you can walk on."
There is nothing like Endwalker..
Throughout Endwalker, you keep thinking "This is the Welcome to Endwalker point."
And then you finally get to this, and you go, "Duh, Welcome to the REAL EndWALKER!"
And it totally crushes you.
My favorite part is Zenos looking at the most powerful entity in known existence, so strong the ancients couldn't find a way to fight against it, and just goes "Why isn't it dead yet? Whats wrong with you"
My second favorite part was I was a smn going through this so when I fought zenos he was using primal powers against me, and I was throwing primal powers back against him.(For phase 1 at least).
I kinda like the end of the fight for casters. You know a caster is spent and at the end of their reserves when they resort to a fist fight.
We all ugly cried. We all cried out all our tears and then somehow found some more. (The noise that ripped out of me when I had to watch the twins dissolve was not human. ) We all broke, and then goddamn Emet snapped his fingers and summoned flowers and told us to put ourselves back together. ("My friends are back with me," I whispered. "I can do anything.")
And then Tataru sprinting across half of Old Sharlayan just to keep her promise to be the first to welcome us back... she's the bestest best to ever best.
Wake up another Sarah Key crying over Graha video just dropped! Is her eye makeup gonna melt again this time we can’t waittt!!!!!!! Her pain fills my soul❤❤❤
It was recently confirmed that 'Close in the distance', played in Ultima Thule, is sang from Ardbert's perspective.
When all hope fails never forget, Zenos believes in you
Dudeeee it took me four months to not cry every time I heard Close in the Distance. I’m watching this and sobbing with you. When I first beat Endwalker it took me like an entire week to recover!
Did you hear the info about what character is singing Close in the Distance to you? I heard and broke all over again.
The Walk is where it really hits home: For those we have lost. For those *we can yet save*.
"A flower. Yes. Upon your return, I will gift you a beautiful flower." that scene alone brought tears to my eyes, Endwalker was an end of a journey like no other for me, and I am glad I got to explore it with so many others, I am glad you got as much out of it as you did! May you ever walk in the light Sarah
A TEST OF YOUR REFLEXES!
Dont worry, you arent alone. We all went through this and had basically the same emotional roller coaster. I have never played a game like 14 that has made me feel the things ive felt. It is just a master class. The game has broke me more than once and touched me personally in ways i never though it would. It truly is a time.
No game, movie, book, tv show, no story in any media has hurt me like 14 has. And I love it all the more for it.
my emotional vampiric heart is full
I love the environmental story telling with the music, with every sacrifice we build a musical tapestry that ends in the final song Close in the Distance.
Shadowbringer and Endwalker gotta be where I cried the most, Endwalker got me a lot in a very condensed amount of time though.
I have played and watched this part of the story countless times. But it still makes me emotional every time. That’s how I know that Endwalker was peak. Loved the reaction btw.
What they managed to do with the SHB-EW arc to tie everything together was nothing short of a masterpiece. This is why I keep coming back to watch these reactions and sob every time. It's more than just a game, right? It's an experience, it's something that will stick with you, something that helps us understand and accept the impermanence of life and thus the importance of sharing stories, thoughts, feelings, to keep hope alive even in the face of despair. Sarah could have taken many more years to finally upload this and I still would've clicked on it right when I saw it. They guided the player through the game with such a huge effort in writing, music, scene direction, showed such passion in their work. The scene with Moenbryda's parents will always break me.
Sometimes when I see Meteion tell the Scions to silence their song of oblivion, to replace their despair with hope, I wonder if those words weren't coming directly from the devs themselves, hoping for a better world, feeling a bit cynical but knowing that as long as we spread hope and compassion, and not despair, that a better tomorrow is possible. Knowing that it was only possible together, with the people you met along the way, or gamers who will never meet but all shared in this experience that touched us, that gave us a glimpse of hope when maybe some of us needed it the most.
I was a hot mess when I played this for the first time, especially when she took away my kids...um....the twins. PEAK!
Like an emotional vampire I was ready to watch you do this cause it took me back to when I played it how devastated I was!! Congrats on getting to the end!!
Ahh.. this sent me back. I was an absolute mess when i played this far from home during the pandemic. Everything felt extremely relevant to what i was going through. I'll always love this game and the devs for pulling this off. Thank you for the share.
Every word on our hearts engraved. ❤️
Did you realize xenos was talking to you as the player? Not your character. XD it's so good
So happy to see your FF14 journey reach this climax!
Has your journey been good? Has it been worthwhile? Did you find.. fulfillment?
Forge ahead, Warrior of Light! More adventure awaits :D ♥
(And the Coxster will be here in 3.. 2.. 1..)
Edit: In case no one has managed to tell you this entire time, you can spam keys on your keyboard for the Active Time Maneuvers. Waaaayy easier than clicking lol.
For real. The greatest game I’ve ever played in my life but…. Why does it want me to cry to death. Just uncontrollably. Really helps knowing you also just fell apart too 😢😊❤
Edit: DT reaction please
Amazing Video! Both laughs and tears were shared in :,)
May you ever walk in the light indeed!
ah yesss, fresh FFXIV tears, emotional vampires unite! thank u for sharing Sarah :)
We need a /wavelighter emote specifically for Close in the Distance.
So glad to go on this journey with you! Interesting theory about the teleporter. Where does it come from? If you talk to Urianger at Revenant's Toll, he offers his thoughts:
"I understand that, following thy clash with Zenos, the teleportation device thou had discarded fell to thee from on high. To return to thee in such a manner... I did confer with Wilfsunn and Bloewyda, yet they insist the device was possessed of no such capability. 'Twas a miracle befitting the nature of that place, where emotion becometh tangible reality. Whence, then, arose this timely wonder? Thine ardent wish...or another's fervent prayer?"
Our best friend's dying prayer was to send us home. 😭😭
I gotta say it.....me experiencing end walkers ending had me crying....ESPECIALLY the Ultima Thul theme "closing the distance" starts playing....i started crying.......SOOOOO HARD
It hits even harder now knowing it's being sung by Ardbert
@@omegagoober513 faaaaaacts i still cant belive they confirmed this during the last Q&A!!!!
@@neku757 No joke? He did?! .. Uff.... ..
omg I've been waiting for this upload.
This game ruined me for WEEKS.
1:44:00 that final “welcome home” from Tataru got me bad on my initial playthrough
One of my friends is finishing Endwalker the same day this is uploaded, so I get to cry twice :D
Fun fact: The song that plays after G'raha sacrifices himself was confirmed to be from Ardbert's perspective. Just in case you wanted to cry again :')
After the twins you mean?
And yeah I thought about that and realized... the part with all the memories was probably Ardbert bringing back all your greatest hits and reminding you that you aren't alone
Here i am again, sharing the emotional pain of the player, and reveling at theirs as well... ah, us xiv players are such emotional vampires...
What is EW if not a prolonged series of ugly crying and ouch?
The rollercoaster of weeping, “I hate this”, all as you take screenshots… that’s the endwalker experience.
After years of putting it off, I finally started FF14 the other day for the very first time. X-Keepers should totally get into this game together.
I was there live. What a ride it was 😭😭😭
as a FFXIV playthrough watcher (never played 😅), I absolutely LOVED the Meteion story arc. Hydaelyn became one of my favourite video game characters ever!!! On the other hand, really disliked the Zenos substory. I understand his function as a meta commentary/reflection of players but I still hated his implementation & thought it took away from the main story whenever he was involved.
Anyways, loved watching your playthrough & reactions 😊
"we are disbanding the scions of the seventh dawn" always makes me cry
nothing like a good ultima thule reaction :') congrats on getting your video out!!
Loved your playthrough. I cried every bit or more along with you even though I've played it through myself and watched a few others play through it. It's emotionally devastating every time.
didn't watch the video but I recently just finished Endwalker and I just want to say I totally get it. Damn was it good.
Zenos is a great character, thats been his sole purpose and his obsession with you. As he was brought up by his horrible garlean family, he has no idea how to express himself to you other than with combat. To him that was the only way he could express himself. He also knew he could not stay, and so he gives his final farewell in a last challenge, but knowing you could just leave. No force, no emergency. And you know you can't let him live after all he's done.
Also hes likely the one who saves you at the end and returns you to your friends. A fitting farewell for such a divisive character.
Gosh darn nearly 3 years later and the scene with emet still gets me.
if this wasnt me LOL i did not stop crying once i hit ultima thule.......
I love the fight at the end as a Lala. LALA PUNCH!!
Zenos has multiple moments in his monologues where I felt like he was talking directly to me. His final monologue truly made me realize why I can sometimes feel so disconnected with people and the world. The things that are popular with people (social media etc) are things I've never understood. While my in-game character found fulfillment, I am still trying to find what I want from life and to find my own fulfillment.
Sarah starts doing the Irish Tap Dance emote as soon as she beats Zenos left me in stitches.
First time I have seen one of your videos. I think it's quite hard to make a character stand out visually in FFXIV, but you did a pretty good job, she looks great.
That was a wonderful video! Glad to finally close this chapter, again! Was a lot of fun watching it.
As someone who played all the old FF games knowing Endwalker was base on FF4 was the best move so much heart breaking moments in that game and using it in FF14 as a good send off to the Crystal ARC.
They totally outdid themselves ...and the music just tears you apart....Close in The Distance... up there with Tomorrow and Tomorrow,
1:16:15 Fun fact: the Scions are mimicking their prayer positions from the Answers cutscene!
The second phase song, With Hearts Aligned, is my fav in the game for sure.
Oh man, Hermes was so happy with Meteion in the end 1:46:10 😭
i agree with yoy ShB and EW stories are eaqually great, they both make each other great
Always night follows day
The sun will shine again
Walk on, never look back
Through you, we live
Tales of looooossss, and of fiiiiiire, and faaiiiiiiith
"This song fills me with such determination!"
**Dives head first into the void**
XD
Pardon me a moment, I feel compelled to give a play-by-play of my reaction to Zenos showing up.
1:11:30, "Wait, Midgardsormr?! Wait, those spikes...no. No no no NO!"
1:11:45, "NO! Absolutely not! You do NOT get to have a Vegeta redemptiin arc!"
1:12:38, "Cool story bro, now PISS OFF, I'm busy!"
1:12:48, "I was GETTING TO THAT! First we have a stare down, then we exchange a few boasts, then we have an argument about why we must fight each other that demonstrates to the audience the deeper moral argument of the story, then we have another epic stare down before fighting. There's an order to these things! Now go away, you're interrupting."
1:13:19, "Well, you can't get no. YOU CAN'T! GET NO!" (Yes, I picked that same option)
1:13:38, "*groan* Well, the fanfic-ers are finally getting to see me 'ride' you. Let's just get this over with, I'm done always being the focus of your murder-boner."
Close in the Distance is way too strong
Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes I was waiting for this ❤
1:26:30 "I think I literally ran into each one." okay so that one attack is unavoidable.
That first time entering Ultima Thule, I tell you, it messed me up
Hearing the distorted, echoing theme from the expansion launch trailer, that alone I had to step away for and take a breather
Then we lose Estinien and the theme starts to “fix” itself, I just couldn’t
I was bawling by the time of the walk, and now knowing it’s ardbert singing it to us? And he was the first and last voice?
*settles in for some good ol' XIV emotional vampirism, slurp slurp~*
Ah yes the infamous soundtrack being completed with each sacrifice and then the rp walk of emotions lol
Love me some good sarahkey crying makes me want to just give her a big hug
How has Jesse Cox not found this channel? I thought he was the Emotional Vampire King!
When Hermes voice appears always breaks me.
I pity "FF fans" aka purists who only like the old games because they never get to experience FF14 especially Shadowbringers and Endwalker, some of the best FF storytelling.
Can you really be a ff fan if you only like the old games
@@brandonlacy5918 Yes you can. When the games stopped being turn based, is when I stopped enjoying mainline FF games.
Endwalker is absolutely insane level of writing
In his dying breath, Zenos wished for you to return. Or at least that's what Urianger theorizes.
who cried more, SarahKey? or ZeplaHQ?
So first off you ought to record a reaction to a few specific meme videos, most notably Bunny Zenos.
Secondly, you might enjoy watching other people play through -- if only to connect the dots you didn't know enough to connect the first time through.
My favorite, perhaps, of "holy crap that DID happen I didn't even think about it much", is after defeating Zodiark and returning to the lunar surface. It's a moment that's sufficiently out of place that I completely and utterly forgot about it until a rewatch. Because right there on the moon, before even meeting the loporrits, with nobody else around, there's a creepy voice: "Ah... At last...".
And if you go back and watch it, you will now recognize that voice
Hearing Hades complain about being forced to watch everything happening made me cackle. Like... sir, you were narrating this entire time... no one forced you😂
You're right it is very Kingdom Hearts. I thought that as well.
Whenever I have dry eyes, I need but remember Hermes speaking to Meteion
They could never make me hate you Zenos
Emet is a sassy, salty boy and im here for it!
So protip for the rapid click tests: literally just mash homerow. 8 fingers on asdgjkl; for 8x the tap speed.
If you didn't ugly cry in endwalker you are dead inside
G’raha: ‘You…How can you keep your promise, if you’re not here…
… …
Excuse me sir! You did it to me first! But then I forgave you after you shielded me with your wings. 😂
as much as i love this ending, the term "Gladening" sits so weird in my ears lol
*Creature murders 3 of the people of the star before her eyes*
"OH MY GOD IT'S SO PRETTY~!"
Also I mean... Saying it's very 'Kingdom Hearts' is a bit unfair. These things were kinda done in Final Fantasies before they were done in KH. Enemies transforming into monstrosities was a thing even before FF7 when things went to shitty pixelated 3d graphics on the Playstation.
I remember hearing that line "Bereft of the synergy that is your strength, unless you mean to call upon the dead once more."
I'm just there thinking the response to that should be "No. Now it's more of an even playing field. You *might* just have a slim chance now to stop me from completely fucking *destroying* you."
XD holy shit, the fight against Zenos. Guess your reflexes just weren't good enough~
I really enjoyed this journey with you Sarah 🙂
A test of your reflexes!
thank you!
1:12:40 Ultimate hype-man.
1:26:09 Sarah, I think there's a chance you are failing his test...! x3
1:17:28 ....... LOL
1:17:15 was that an undertale reference
of course >:)
Omg😮
Wow, you refused Zenos his acceptance? He really did think of you as a friend in his strange little way. The only way he can express his love for you is through battle to the death. The only thing that can give him peace of mind is fighting you. All he thought about was you. To the very end. The only thing to give him purpose in life. Growing up under such a ruthless father really messed him up, he was bored of everything. The thrill of the hunt was all he ever wanted. He wanted you to live because he was sure that one day, you would the only one to give him satisfaction in this world. Zenos wasn't asking your character the question, he was asking the real you. The person. The coolest 4th wall break ever next to mommy's question, "was your journey good?"
She already said it; Zenos overstayed his welcome. He ain't no Emet. He's an overbearing, creepy fanboy who hurts people, and I don't understand his popularity.
i think people really just resonate with different parts of stories and for me i was far more interested in what was going on with the scions / the ascians than zenos
i understand why people like zenos and everything but for me i found it kind of comical that he kept popping back up for no reason LOL (i know there's actually a reason but it wasn't really that important to the overall plot of endwalker)
@@SarahKey Exactly. People play this game for all sorts of different reasons. It's hilarious to me how people think Zenos speaking to the player makes it MORE reasonable to only assume there's one correct answer. It makes it LESS reasonable if anything.
Zenos *really* did overstay his welcome.
I wasn't a fan of how he was the final part of this expansion.
Like dude, you're 2 expansions too late to matter.
I disagree, Endwalker really gave him alot more character development to show you more of who he is, and that he really is quite tragic
sarah pls the sprint button is your best friend LMAO
