The fact that Emet's mocking words actually makes you feel emotions, is proof of just how well he was developed. That you actually cared for him and now his words stung. Just another proof as to how well written the story is.
Because unlike Lahabrea who’s hostility stems from a sense of superiority over the sundered, and Elidibus’s who’s hostility stems from a sense of duty and righteousness, Emet Selch’s hostility stems from thousands of years of disappointment that festered into bitterness. Like a parental figure who wants their child to succeed, but can’t help but feel saddened and disappointed when that child makes the same mistakes over and over again.
@@J-manli It's not just that, regarding Emet I think. Or at least not for me. What I found compelling about Emet, is the implications when you talk to that shade of the First World with Ardbert next to you. I forget the name of the city, but the first city that Emet replicated at the bottom of the ocean. All of the residents there are just on a recorded loop really, EXCEPT for that one shade that seems way more self-aware than the others. And while I forget the precise words he says, the impression I got, is that he is US, the original being that the WoL, and Ardbert, are fractured pieces of. Which is why Emet had so much hope for you, because in you, he found a piece of his literal best friend. The shade even mentions this is why he suspects Emet gave him more self-awareness than the others. And I suspect the reason is that seeing you, the WoL over so much of the game, made him unconsciously be thinking about his best friend more intently. But here is the neat thing. The echo of his best friend, after hinting that he is you, proceeds to give you insight into Emet, in a way that would help you stop him. And since all of that is a mere reflection of Emet's mind, it's entirely feasible that deep down, Emet really wants to fail. That he no longer really believes in the Rejoining, or think it will actually work. But he can't bring himself to admit it, because he misses his people so much. But that unconscious desire to be stopped, manifests in his best friend (You), telling yourself how to beat him. And thus striking the final nail in the coffin on Emet's plans. Because in the end, when he dies, he doesn't really seem angry. He seems at piece. He is no longer hunched over, under the weight of millennia of scheming. He's free. He just simply asks you to remember them, to remember that their world existed.
@@happyninja42 No the shade that remembers more is NOT the WOL's past self, but they do know who the WOL's past self was mentioning that Emet must surely see him/her in you.
you can actually see a short look of sadness in emet after alisaie talks about their world and how he's destorying it. because he knows how it feels to lose his world but even then he's willing to be the villain of others to bring back his world.
@@specialnewb9821 Influenced yes, but considering the strength of Emet’s soul he still has a certain degree of free will in how he wants to enact his plans similarly to Tiamat.
@@specialnewb9821 Zodiark's function isn't to "bring back the old world", it exists to protect the world from the Final Days, it also can use up immense amount of souls to basically grant wishes, within reason, and with an equal cost, it isn't evil or good, Emet's actions are his own.
Emit Selch is the G.O.A.T. Just love it whenever the character is around. Love the person who really voice and brings the character to life with all the swagger.
Look up Emet’s VA René Zagger. He’s done a number of commercial voiceovers for pretty mundane items like cars and washing machines. After playing Shadowbringers they are absurdly hilarious.
I wonder how did Ardbert's soul fit into such a small Annie? Jokes aside, the ending was epic and the part with ' It's good to see you awake, G'raha Tia ' made me shed a tear as well. It was so nice
13:04 was such a great moment. So happy you finished 5.0. This has definitely been my favorite expansion yet! Great video Annie! Your FF adventure has been so fun to watch!
I've been looking forward to this moment the day you started playing. Thx for the warm and welcoming atmosphere in all your streams. Your journey made those past months a lot better. I hope you'll enjoy the game for years to come. Oh and something something SMOOOOL KEKW something
One thing to take into consideration - Emet's plan seems horrific to us, sacrificing our reality to replace it with his own. However, that's effectively what we already did - the group that sent the tower and G'raha to the past, and our actions as a result unwrote their own history. They sacrificed not only themselves but everything in their reality in order to replace it with a "better" one, or at least a "better" one from our viewpoint.
It's actually the complete opposite of what Emet is trying to do. alpha timeline Cid and the other folks who sent Graha back sacrificed _themselves_ and their reality so that other people in another reality could live. Emet on the other hand is sacrificing another reality so that his can live.
@@AStrangeWindmill I don't think that absolutely every sentient being in the timeline G'raha came back from was onboard with that plan and were cool with sacrificing themselves. Cid and the others believed that if successful, a version of themselves would continue on in their stead, but a lot of those alive would not even be born in a reality without the calamity happening. In this case G'raha is the one in Emet's role, changing reality to keep his friends alive rather than those who would have lived if he hadn't rewritten history.
With Hades' question about sacrifice, in a way, they already had done just that. G'raha Tia's future. Those people gave everything to save the past that wouldn't save their future.
Tbf, Emet at that moment was already on the edge of sorrow and sanity. He was truly hoping WoL would success in containing the light (since it was super easy for Azem to do it). So when WoL failed, Emet completely lost all little hopes and little faiths he had and went to do what an ascian do.
Emet was slouched the entire the time in the story as if carrying a great burden. His eyes were also always sad. But at the end, when he was dying his back was straight for the first time since we've seen him and then when he smiled you could also see his eyes seemed to light up. I don't know if it was hope or relief. It was great writing with great attention to detail. "Remember....Remember us....Remember...that we once lived...." What if there's more to this? What if Emet wants us to remember the Aumarot days. I think a major part of EW is about learning about who we were as Azem. The reason he smiled is because Emet knew that you had a rejoining and there was still hope for you. A return of a friend he had lost 12,000 years ago. And guess who's narrating EW.
Whats great about this conflict with Ascians and Scion is about half of us and streamer agree both of them. The story itself is powerful enough to cause us to sunder between eachother. I think that's some meta thing right there.
Yeah CohhCarnage made me laugh the other day when he learned the Ascians’ backstory and he was like “Dude. They just want to go home. How do I play as an Ascian? I want to be on their side.”
This scene always hits so hard. They finally reveal we, too, we're one of the Ascians, broken into parts along with the other worlds. And with Ardbert joining us, two of the warriors rejoin to put an end to this plot. It's so good.
I love how much of a problem Graha is for Emet. Like, you see it when he shoots him, and talks about interrogating him when you die; He's _scared_ of what Graha can do.
I love that throughout the story emet is never standing tall, his posture is always leaning forward, only after he admits defeat he stands tall as he finally releases the weight of his burdens
even worse to know that he spared us even in the end, after transforming into his true form and letting us kill him eventually. He was still stronger by a lot but we have proven him the point that we can carry their legacy to move on. also notice how his back wasn't arched anymore, that was an indication that he has let off the burden and have made us carry their legacies.
Doing this makes me think of the FGO mobile game story. The earth becomes overwritten/overrun with multiple areas of alternate histories, and it's your job to get rid of them to return the original. In the process of doing so though, you're wiping out these areas and the innocent people who didn't even know they weren't supposed exist. It's pretty rough.
RDM and DNC were the two things I wanted most for them to put in the game since I started it back in 2.0, and they did not disappoint! Especially red mage. I started out as a WHM, but switched to SMN for Heavensward since I loved the aesthetic, but as soon as RDM came out, that became my new main and it has stayed that way ever since. I’ve maxed almost every job, but my number 1 is still red mage. Likewise, I’ll be picking reaper and sage up too in a couple days and I intend on capping both of them as well, but red mage will always be my number one!
Not showing her reaction to the Hades Trial really is a criminal act by the editor. Why skip that? You don't have to put in the whole fight, just her initial reaction to first and second phase.
It's funny, when first hearing Emet-Selch argue his side before the dungeon, most find it pretty hard to argue with his points (I did myself). But after having revisted this cutscene so many times when watching others react to it, I've had so much time to think about it, and it kind of makes me upset that no one brings up the point to Emet-Selch that his people sacrificed their lives SPECIFICALLY to let new life (aka us) arise. For he and his fellow Ascians to then turn around and sacrifice OUR lives to bring them back... does not he not think that's spitting on their sacrifice? That they wouldn't be furious with them? Hell, if I was them, I'd probably turn around and offer THEM up as unwilling sacrifices to bring back those THEY killed. How's that for some poetic fucking justice?
But they didn't specifically sacrifice themselves for new lives (us). They sacrificed themselves to save half of them (and sacrificed half of them again since the world was unlivable for the surviving amaurotians). They intended to harvest the new lives for the offering of Zodiark so he could revive those who have been sacrificed, but some of them like Venat refused hence Hydaelyn. The points is the ancients never sacrificed themselves for us. So, Emet never betrayed their expectations (ironically Venat did)
@@RoyalKnightish I'll admit, I was thinking of the 2nd sacrifice, and forgetting the first one, so that's my bad. But I always interpreted that second sacrifice as them trying to bring life back to the world, rather than trying to make the world liveable for their remaining brethren. Something like "we survived, we're fine, but everything else is dead or dying... what is the point?" Maybe I'm just seeing them as even more noble than they were, but I saw that as them bringing back nature, not sentient life. And so I also saw their plan to "nurture it and then eventually sacrifice a portion of its vitality to bring back those that were sacrificed" as not involving people, just a portion of nature. Like, plants, animals, etc. Not people. I figured they were treating it similar to how conjurers use their magic. They borrow power from nature to perform magic, but are always careful not to abuse it, to maintain harmony and not upset the balance. I remember them specifically saying they only intended to sacrifice "a portion of its vitality," which to me said they didn't intend to kill anyone or anything, simply borrow some of its power. But again, that's all up to interpretation. Like I said, I could just be seeing them as more noble than they were.
i think that all ties back into a big theme of Shadowbringers, that unquestioning belief in your own cause robs it of it's nobility. Ardbert was a hero, no question. He and his companions championed tirelessly to fight 'darkness', and in the end they technically even won. But they never questioned their cause, never stopped to consider what 'winning' would mean... and it almost destroyed their world Emet's the same kind of misguided hero. He has a cause, one that you could argue is inherently noble, but he's blinded by his own righteousness and it's turned that cause into something ugly and destructive one of the major themes i took away from Shadowbringers is that intentions aren't enough
nvm... i think i figured it out after thinking, lol. prolly in a party and someone who tp'd out, so lala emet got the little prompt, meaning he didn't need to channel. and cause he was emoting, you couldn't see the teleport animation. very clever!
It's worth pointing out that Emet would NOT have done you the courtesy that he asks of you at the end. "Remember us, remember that we once lived." But Emet, you just said "I will expunge your stain from history's weave", so why should we show you the courtesy you wouldn't have shown us? That you didn't show to the millions you've killed on the seven rejoined shards?
After accepting his demise, Emet finally acknowledged our worth to some degree. He knew Elidibus wouldn’t be able to continue their great work on his own and that we wouldn’t want to continue the great rejoining either. So as the final wish of a dying man, Emet Selch asked us the remember him because while his loved have physically died, so long as someone remembers them, they’ll continue to live on in some way. To quote Macklemore of all people “…you die twice, the first time is when you’re buried in your grave, and the second time is the last time somebody mentions your name,”
Also, adding into it. Elmet has a bad mouth problem. He’s a depiction of a character that always spoke out things that opposite to a what he meant. These ppl exist btw, the skeptics.
I choose old man Cap answer by “telling them another time.” Reason is something to keep for just myself as that was a bind I made with him that not everyone needs to know about. Something’s are good to keep for yourself without validation from others. 😊
The fact that Emet's mocking words actually makes you feel emotions, is proof of just how well he was developed. That you actually cared for him and now his words stung. Just another proof as to how well written the story is.
Because unlike Lahabrea who’s hostility stems from a sense of superiority over the sundered, and Elidibus’s who’s hostility stems from a sense of duty and righteousness, Emet Selch’s hostility stems from thousands of years of disappointment that festered into bitterness.

22:00 - 24:00 goosebumps every. single. time! ""This is OUR Story!"
"At the end of battle, Do we do the right thing?"
Thats the point of this game.
We won the battle, but have yet to win the war.
Love emet standing tall for the first time at the end. his burden is gone.
You know a story is good when it gives you that mix of happiness, sadness, laugh and cry
I wonder how did Ardbert's soul fit into such a small Annie?
Jokes aside, the ending was epic and the part with ' It's good to see you awake, G'raha Tia ' made me shed a tear as well. It was so nice
He waited literally a century to hear you say that.
This is funny and lewd at the same time.
Don’t you mean a large Annie?
Like question how a big brain fit in a smaller head…
Advert: Well, it’s quite simple. Dead ppl don’t say about that!
Sephiroth: I will never be a memory
Emet Selch: I want to be a memory
#forwantofamemory
If only we could link them together with some kind of Chain of Memories
Emet-Selch walking into the flames like that total Sephiroth vibes.
There's a few 7 references in Shadowbringers. Tisleen being stabbed in the back by a one winged angel sin eater was another.
"And who are we?"
All in due time, Annie. All in due time.
The ending of 5.0 was by far my most favourite part of MSQ, glad you've finally experienced it too!
13:04 was such a great moment. So happy you finished 5.0. This has definitely been my favorite expansion yet!
Great video Annie! Your FF adventure has been so fun to watch!
I have seen countless reactions to the story and played it countless times myself in the inn... and every single time I cry.
22:00
Ardbert: So what if it looks hopeless? If it were me, I still wouldn’t give up.
I was worried she wouldnt make it before Endwalker release. Annie really enjoyed the game long time which is very wholesome.
She still has the patch content to do.
Did she purposely decide to do the MSQ slow? I remember she was ahead of me at one point.
Annie: He's Hades. Who are we?
Ans: You'll find out real soon, Enjoy!
I've been looking forward to this moment the day you started playing. Thx for the warm and welcoming atmosphere in all your streams. Your journey made those past months a lot better. I hope you'll enjoy the game for years to come.
Oh and something something SMOOOOL KEKW something
Annie's playthrough was so immersive for the audience i.e. chat or even lurkers. Especially for this part. Awesome experience.
I've seen the axe scene maybe dozens of times by now, but it gets me super hype EVERY SINGLE TIME!

Man I forgot how epic the cutscenes between and after Amaurot and Dying Gasp, and hurray for having my heart melted again with G'raha
Emet is so based that you can’t even be mad at him 😂
Emet Selch is the abusive father figure who you just want to love you no matter what.
Just like a Red Mage. Standing in the AoE marker just a little too long, just so they can finish their melee combo.
They even have a handy dandy escape button.
glad i was watching live for this epic play scene
Time to make some tea and watch this cozy reaction
I love how much of a problem Graha is for Emet. Like, you see it when he shoots him, and talks about interrogating him when you die; He's _scared_ of what Graha can do.
God i always have a big smile watching Emet :D
why did i watch it again after finishing it myself yesterday, i knew what i would do to me
/cry
Emet Selch...I will miss him forever
"Okay he is smiling" I don't know you but I love your reactions aaah
I love that throughout the story emet is never standing tall, his posture is always leaning forward, only after he admits defeat he stands tall as he finally releases the weight of his burdens
Such a good moment. I loved it so much, Emet is such a good villain.
22:50 Goosebumps and tears, every time.
Annie reflections at 6:00 are so good, I enjoyed this reaction for 5.0 a lot (and I have consumed too many of these o.o) PD: still small
So good and btw ANNie i cried to at the end of 5.0 it truly is Feelsbringer
I will never not be hype watching someone finish 5.0. And everyone ALWAYS tells Graha that it's good to see him awake.
Well, Emet manipulated you for good....in a certain way he just wanted to end it. Your survival was only possible through his intervention.
Mmmmmm That’s not Emet who intervened, it was our true selves…err friendship. Yeah, that. 😏
even worse to know that he spared us even in the end, after transforming into his true form and letting us kill him eventually. He was still stronger by a lot but we have proven him the point that we can carry their legacy to move on. also notice how his back wasn't arched anymore, that was an indication that he has let off the burden and have made us carry their legacies.
The final Dungeon was basically us saving one city, but those monstrosities were appearing all over the world at the same time

I can't believe he called us a stain and then turned around and asked us to remember him. Jerk. (but I love him)
36:51 WHAT DID YOU CALL ME?!
Your almost done got post patches to do. I think you can do it without any breaks other than food etc. :)
lol as your walking at the end, i just thguht, huh red headed miqote's they are from the same place XD
never felt so cathartic to throw an axe in any game.
"And who are we?"

Emet: "The victor shall write the tale, and the vanquished become its villain!"
Also Emet - reveals his true name "Hades"
I mean, Hades isn't inherently evil. He just rules the underworld of Greek mythology, which also includes the paradise of Elysium.
@@SuzakuX yeah, i think alot of people believe Hades to be inherently evil probably because of how he was portrayed in Disney's Hercules.
Of Greek gods Hades is the most even handed of the gods and gets up to the least shenanigans. He's the God of the Dead, not of Death.
Ah she's finally done it.
Not showing her reaction to the Hades Trial really is a criminal act by the editor. Why skip that? You don't have to put in the whole fight, just her initial reaction to first and second phase.

It's worth pointing out that Emet would NOT have done you the courtesy that he asks of you at the end.
"Remember us, remember that we once lived."
But Emet, you just said "I will expunge your stain from history's weave", so why should we show you the courtesy you wouldn't have shown us? That you didn't show to the millions you've killed on the seven rejoined shards?
After accepting his demise, Emet finally acknowledged our worth to some degree. He knew Elidibus wouldn’t be able to continue their great work on his own and that we wouldn’t want to continue the great rejoining either. So as the final wish of a dying man, Emet Selch asked us the remember him because while his loved have physically died, so long as someone remembers them, they’ll continue to live on in some way. To quote Macklemore of all people “…you die twice, the first time is when you’re buried in your grave, and the second time is the last time somebody mentions your name,”
Because he knows you're better than him.
When God said he told you to go alone, you should alone. There is more private conversations into it >_>
Also, adding into it. Elmet has a bad mouth problem. He’s a depiction of a character that always spoke out things that opposite to a what he meant. These ppl exist btw, the skeptics.
U need a new glam. can't copy paste your own crew :(
I choose old man Cap answer by “telling them another time.” Reason is something to keep for just myself as that was a bind I made with him that not everyone needs to know about. Something’s are good to keep for yourself without validation from others. 😊
No hate but eng dub sound so weird after hearing the jp dub ver
