An edit of my favorite moments of FFXIV: Endwalker in semi-chronological order focusing on character moments and storytelling. This is meant to showcase Endwalker through my eyes as I played it and the things I felt.
What an absolute labor of love this must have been! A spectacular showcase of the power of XIV's storytelling, and an amazing highlight of a very emotional expansion. I hope this gets the many, many views it deserves. Keep on forging ahead, fellow Warrior of Light!
hey thanks. i didn't see this comment until now. It was quite an undertaking as it took me three separate attempts to actually get a finished product and I was learning a new editing program aha. Thanks for taking the time to comment!
Thank you for making this endwalker tribute. The end of our long journey and the beginning of a new one. To all warriors of light, let us continue our travels. After all, we need to face the challenges Hades left for us.
Thank you for making this, after finishing Endwalker myself- I struggled with the empty feeling you get after finishing an excellent story. And this was perfect for letting me feel that joy, pain, and everything else again. What an incredible tribute.
Had me tearing up, laughing and pulsing with an anger I never quite got over all at once, which is impressive. The music, my experience with the game and the voice-overs pull a lot of the legwork but I give credit to how you pieced it all together, even still.
It’s true, I’m uncertain of the future. Sometimes there are moments where it may be easier to give up but I’m still standing here. I’d rather live for the present and for the future! I won’t let countless possibilities be taken away from me on a whim!
This was quite the treat for the algorithm to send me. This is an amazing tribute for Endwalker. The voice over placements were so well timed, the transitions were strung together near perfectly. It emphasized the scenes to an amazing extent. I saw that some people weren't too keen on the length but you did great with keeping everything coherent within 30 minutes for it is a lengthy campaign. Truly astounding work.
yea like I told that other person 30 minutes is pretty long but I just felt like I was only gonna do one EW tribute and wanted to make it have a bit of the whole journey. glad you liked it
Just finished the 6.0 MSQ last night with my friend after years of playing once or twice a week. This has been a fantastic journey and this is a fantastic tribute to it.
Whenever Ultima Thule Pops up, I Always tear up. It Will forever remind me of the path I took to Get there, and the Sacrifices along the way, to know that they were all eventually worth it.
Usually avoid recommendations related to main scenario, but this time I got interested - and did not regret it. Your skill is beyond praise! Such a competent rearrangement of frames, the imposition of replicas and music not only did not distort, but also emphasized the essence. Endwalker. End of the line. A new beginning. This drawing is colored with all shades of joys and sorrows, the conclusions that the characters come to... A delightful, final chord. I deeply admire how you managed to convey this. Wonderful job!
Sometimes I get imposter syndrome and think "was this really worth putting together?" because of how long it took lol but comments like yours solidify that it was worth doing and I thank you very much!
@@Avrahffxiv I want to echo what Soupqueene said. You pieced this together beautifully. Also to be shown the memories alongside the current decisions the characters make struck me harder. Yes, I also cried at certain points. Honestly, I didn't realize it was thirty minutes. I started watching, got sucked up in it, and before I knew it, it was over. So, yes, I do believe it was worth your putting this together. Thank you so much for doing it.
Absolutely loved this composition of story and song. You really captured the emotion of key moments, especially by tying certain parts of the story with later moments. It's a great video, and I particularly loved the idea that it's your character taking a moment while lying in the water to reflect on everything that's happened. Memories of a long, long journey indeed.
I've been following you for awhile, I LOVE your tributes, and I've shared them. I'm shocked you only have X amount of views, I love this video, and listen on every road trip, and time I'm relaxing, thank you, such a beautiful video, that hits... hard... 10 years in the making, I hope Final Fantasy MMOs will live longer than me
You did a great thing ❤ Your tributes are some of my favorite I've been watching as it captures the story, its inviolate and invincible lessons, in all of its splendor and glory. Thank you ❤
Amazing video!! I cried watching it because I felt the passion, the fire, and the emotions that not only went into making this video, but the same from the actual story itself. Well done
Listened to this and your Warrior of Light tribute 5.5 spoiler video today. Enjoyed both of them so much that I feel like I need to replay the MSQ again before we travel to Tural in Dawntrail
I've been looking for a video that pieces together the end and this video does it perfectly! Perfect cuts and music choice for it all, thank you for this!
Hopefully not creepy, but...ma'am or sir or theymst...you continue to make me cry with your absolutely perfect recollection of this game that I've been playing for almost ten years. It's beautiful. Thank you.
i can't thank you enought for that video, i sadly can't play at the last ff14 due to poor capacity from my computer but this video show me so much that i end up crying a lot. thank you for that great time !
Xenos and his obsession/rivalry with you across expansions is something I love, I really hope this isn't the end of him. He gets our character in a way the others don't ( even if he is a bit fruit loops )
@@Avrahffxiv Gotta keep going for the new adventure as it unfolds after all! Definitely makes me want to go back and rewatch pre-ShB cutscenes since I had different looks for my WoL prior to then.
I saw your thumbnail recently on the FFXIV reddit! This video was amazing! A genius collection of the heartfelt moments of Endwalker. I honestly believed you were a massive youtuber thans to the supreme quality.
I haven't interacted much with Runescape. I'm glad you got into FFXIV and managed to put out this amazing content. You don't happen to plan on a Heavensward tribute by any chance?
@@NorthWolf97 i haven't thought about doing tributes for older stuff. I considered my Warrior of Light tribute to be everything up to SHB. Then the EW tribute is purely EW. But the Warrior of Light tribute seems to be most people's favorite from the comments. (it's the one with "shepherd to the stars" in the thumbnail)
Try as I might, every time I hear Answers, with or without context, I fucking sob. This video was no exception. My only complaint is that you cut my favorite song in the entire OST from the part where it plays, right when Zenos shows up to help you out at the end.
It was honestly one of the best ways it could have ended. Even though I am a little disappointed there were no lasting consequences following the final days aside from losing Hydaelin (who hasn't done anything special since ARR). I feel like Heavensward still packs the greatest punch because we lose Haurchefant, the person who was basically our best friend and the only one to help us after the Sultana's "death", Ysayle, and Papalymo. After that, it seems like everyone's plot armor got so thick that I'm not even afraid of losing any more scions. (Especially Y'shtola, who manages to "die" at least once every expansion).
I'm going to be honest, I liked the Shadowbringers tribute way more. This is way to long and I also don't think the music choices in the latter part are ideal. It's also too long parts of full cutscene replays in my opinion. Yes, the original is great but it's not what I would have wanted from a video like this. Sry
@@Someone-dv7hw no worries at all. I am brainstorming what to do next. But yea I only ever intended to make one Endwalker tribute video. It definitely is TOO long and the analytics reflect that. But my intention was to kind of "summarize" the entire journey. It could have been done differently but it was pretty difficult to decide what direction to take it. For the next project i'd like to just do something different entirely, ffxiv related but who knows lol.

"I take it this is your prey. Why is it still standing" 👁👄👁
No one had more faith in us then Zenos did.
Gotta love Xenos, as far as he's concerned you're his rival, his equal and opposite. So surely nothing else can stand before you.
dude the moment ement spawns flowers and meteon falls apaet aswell as the memories we share w meteon gets me in the feels everytime T^T
"For every ending, marks a new beginning..." What a quote. Another good tribute video!
18:05 When the Elpis flowers came out I started crying again. We save the world with kindness and I'm so grateful
I cried too... I knew it was coming... but still... still it came to this.
The slow change of Meteion's expression gets me every damn time...... also "That, I cant deny." Awesome vid
I hear the first notes and I try but fail each time. It's such a powerful scene
This made me ugly cry for 30 mins straight. Amazing job pairing the right voice over with cutscenes and music.
thank you :3
Same, I'm an absolute mess right now oh gods
What an absolute labor of love this must have been! A spectacular showcase of the power of XIV's storytelling, and an amazing highlight of a very emotional expansion.
I hope this gets the many, many views it deserves. Keep on forging ahead, fellow Warrior of Light!

So beautiful omggg I cried like a stupid baby again!
Maybe I'm just emotional and nostalgic today but this video is absolutely fantastic.. stirred my memories. watered my eyes...
A perfect summary of our epic journey.
hey thanks for saying so.
@@Avrahffxiv I really needed to rewatch this epic journey after Dawntrail. Thanks again for this.
Just finished the 6.0 MSQ last night with my friend after years of playing once or twice a week. This has been a fantastic journey and this is a fantastic tribute to it.

"with new parts for all to play" emet i better see you again soon
Long, but so *so* worth the watch. Brought up all the emotions of my first playthrough right like I'd felt them the first time.
yea it's probably a bit too long but hey I planned on making only one video like that.
😭 all my emotions! What a journey! Loved this!!! Thank you for making it!
thank you for watching it! especially right after the upload. means a lot.
The parallels between Zenos and Hermes depression and sense of voidness in life were *chef kiss*
this game cured my depression.
Usually avoid recommendations related to main scenario, but this time I got interested - and did not regret it.

thank you for saying that. I basically recorded every Endwalker cutscene in order to try to make cool connections. glad you liked it.
those hermes scenes and voice clips ....... you genius
Of all the beings to remind us that we are above despair... Zenos, coming in clutch.
“Vicissitudes” ugh I love it when big Z uses big words
welp. i did a thing.
Nothing that is called a Tribute will ever compare to this.
And that.....
No one can deny!!!! :)
Thank you my friend!!!
Have a great 2023!!!

:3 thank you!
Beautifully done. I cant think of a better way to encompass and represent the final steps of this long, long journey we've had
All of your videos are amazing. Always a good combo of music, dialogue, and cutscenes!!
i appreciate that immensely.
What an absolutely amazing video! Phew, I felt super emotional watching this haha 😭💚
Listened to this and your Warrior of Light tribute 5.5 spoiler video today.

well i am glad u like the video and i agree. ffxiv's story is a modern epic.
Ahh yes.
Memories of a great game...
I loved this so much. I cried several times.
I've been looking for a video that pieces together the end and this video does it perfectly! Perfect cuts and music choice for it all, thank you for this!
Work of art! So incredibly well done, loved every second of it.
hey thanks for saying so.
@@Avrahffxiv You're welcome! Thanks for making this kickass content!
What an AMAZING video!! It deserves a bajillion views!
Hopefully not creepy, but...ma'am or sir or theymst...you continue to make me cry with your absolutely perfect recollection of this game that I've been playing for almost ten years. It's beautiful. Thank you.
I am just conveying my own feelings about the game in video format :3 Glad you liked it.
Can we just agree that FFXIV has the best voice actors and best music of any game ever created?
we can agree
Beautiful content. The games story has so much emotion in it that it's hard to get away from
Another great video! It’s a lot better then the one I put together to be honest but this video just pushes me to get better!
Everyone has their own style. I am attempting to learn adobe and so I feel like a noob as well. We all get better through persistence. keep it up.
CLAP CLAP CLAP XD well done Avrah!!!
i can't thank you enought for that video, i sadly can't play at the last ff14 due to poor capacity from my computer but this video show me so much that i end up crying a lot. thank you for that great time !
of course my friend
All of these videos you've made are so amazing! I love them all so much!
thanks lol i really want to get back to making more soon .
Amazing work on these, and thank you for introducing me to Ursine Vulpine, Annaca.
aha of course
Thank you , thank you , thank you .. this is so perfect :) i crying again and again .. so many memories .. you are very talented ... thanks you 😙
Thanks Bjorn :3
Xenos and his obsession/rivalry with you across expansions is something I love, I really hope this isn't the end of him. He gets our character in a way the others don't ( even if he is a bit fruit loops )
Another fantastic tribute all the way through! And your WoL still looks amazing in all of these scenes too. Keep up the awesome work!
she's still killin it.
@@Avrahffxiv Gotta keep going for the new adventure as it unfolds after all! Definitely makes me want to go back and rewatch pre-ShB cutscenes since I had different looks for my WoL prior to then.
@@AGamerX1 so much new drip. :3
Very nice! Love the scenes and moments you put together
thank you for saying that.
I thought they removed the Ninja's ability to cut onions in the last patch - I was lied to.
Another fantastic upload, really love your tributes ^ _ ^
thank you so much for saying so.
I saw your thumbnail recently on the FFXIV reddit!
This video was amazing! A genius collection of the heartfelt moments of Endwalker. I honestly believed you were a massive youtuber thans to the supreme quality.
aha i appreciate that. i was a runescape youtuber before ffxiv if you can believe that.
I haven't interacted much with Runescape. I'm glad you got into FFXIV and managed to put out this amazing content.
You don't happen to plan on a Heavensward tribute by any chance?

My only complaint is that you cut my favorite song in the entire OST from the part where it plays, right when Zenos shows up to help you out at the end.
That's Zenos's theme. yea it's awesome aha but didn't want to have just a small chunk of a song since that part is relatively short.
She looks like my WOL T^T
I have to say, this was a good, but in between, around 9:55 - 9:57, I felt like that was a hard transition from Answers to Ultima Thu.
there are worse transitions later in the video.
It was honestly one of the best ways it could have ended. Even though I am a little disappointed there were no lasting consequences following the final days aside from losing Hydaelin (who hasn't done anything special since ARR). I feel like Heavensward still packs the greatest punch because we lose Haurchefant, the person who was basically our best friend and the only one to help us after the Sultana's "death", Ysayle, and Papalymo.

Y'shtola dying every expac and threatening to bend us over her knee.
What song is playing in the background for the first 110secs?? Please.. tell me.
Her voice.. hits me emotionally
it's called "i am the only one" by ursine vulpine
I'm going to be honest, I liked the Shadowbringers tribute way more. This is way to long and I also don't think the music choices in the latter part are ideal. It's also too long parts of full cutscene replays in my opinion. Yes, the original is great but it's not what I would have wanted from a video like this. Sry
