“Endsinger. You’re messing with the Bard. But I don’t think this is your song! I Think This is MINE!” *OUR SONG OF HOPE, SHE DANCES ON THE WIND* Could not have been timed better.
It's honestly the funniest thing that everyone around you is so scared and concerned for your safety. They believe in you but aren't confident you can go it alone. Then Zenos shows up like "Bro, I thought you'd be done by now." Man really believed in us like nobody else ever did.
@@ExceedProduction Not true, there were plenty people liking him in StB and ShB, some by a lot. Including streamers! It's just that you didn't see people sharing it much because others were quick to argue about it (some people REALLY hated Zenos), and that was very exhausting.
@@ExceedProductionye i loved him in stormblood but was a bit annoyed they brought him back to life, and i didnt like fandaniel at first, but endwalker completely changed my opinions on both characters
It's funny how Zenos is the one who believed in our potential the most. To the point he literally needs not to worry about his rival. Even the Scions were not at that level of faith.
I love how Zenos is basically the opposite of the Endsinger, the other extreme. He lives solely for those few moments of happiness, and finds meaning in finding them.
My favorite theory, or I guess interpretation of dialogue, is that your little teleporter made its way back to you because Zenos wished for you to keep moving forward.
I largely play this game in solitude, only playing with other players when there is no other option. I progressed to the...elpis flower bed scene...alone and when i came out of the cutscene there were two strangers there to greet me, cheering enthusiastically. Warmed my heart and i will never forget their kindness. Great community!!!
@@EXC334 I watched another persons play through, turned out that she was playing through on stream, she would say "they aren't gone for good are they" and 100% of her chat were convincing her that no everyone is gone for good. She was an absolute mess by the end as a result.
Another youtuber who I watched til the end said the kindest, pragmatic thing I've heard some one say about Endwalker. "this has been such a great adventure for me, and this expansion is a love letter to it's players. I can only imagine how relieved people who have played since the beginning of FF14 felt." And he wasn't wrong. I felt such a happy burden shed.
I’ve clocked eight years of wonder, and just before the end I cried my heart out in a field of flowers on the edge of the universe, they absolutely nailed it ❤
my favorite tidbit about how the music in ultima thule evolves, whether it was intentional or not: when we first met graha, way back in arr, he was a bard. and he's the one who finally adds lyrics to the song.
I will never, ever get over the phase 2 of Endsinger, which is basically just 'Endsinger failed her DPS check, WoL is now enraged.' Our boss theme is just.. SO GOOD.
Your community timed that perfectly! The Past "Yous" from previous expansions. That was absolutely beautiful! I can't believe I'm crying at 7:40 in the morning! xD ;w;
@@garreonlefay6703 yep, $5 each. and ofc youd imagine they might want to change back to their original selves after, which is another $5 each. thats some commitment to the bit.
“Endsinger. You’re messing with the Bard. But I don’t think this is your song! I think this is MINE!” *SONG OF HOPE COMES OUT* Priceless surprised pikachu face. 😂
Second comment, different topic... My belief is that Zenos is meant to be the mirror of the Player, not actually the Warrior of Light. Elidibus/Hades were our counterpart as the character. We fought for our world and future, they fought for their world and past. They were in the story our opposite. Zenos was meant to call towards the player. Zenos is the person who skips cutscenes because they are boring (never could he understand others, the tedium). He's the one who powerlevels right to the endgame and straight into Savage Raids and Ultimates (his singular, fleeting bliss). He is the asking us, born into this world through the character creator, bid a name and sent to seek out strife (quests), if it was worth it. Through him the developers asking us, the player, if the journey they gave us was worth it. Did we find it fulfilling? We've been asked that question three times now, and we were never able to actually answer the person who asked it of us... But was it?
I love the fact you did the final battle as a Bard, you sang a song of Hope as you fought, and taught it to Meteion just like Hydaelin wanted. Also i love the fact Hydaelin has been preparing you to face Meteion since a realm reborn. Remember her motto? Hear, Feel, Think. "I wish to hear your words(Hear), share your feelings(Feel), know your thoughts(Think)"
I'm a simple man. I see someone crying at the end of a Final Fantasy 14 expansion, I like the video. It's worth the tears. Also, I'm glad to see another person walking up the crystal pathway G'raha created for us... It makes the forced walk later all the harder!
There are no words to describe the depth of feeling and love I have for this game. This game broke me so utterly and completely, and I cannot be more grateful! In my breaking, I found myself, I found who I really am...
This game completely broke me. I started this game during beta, a bit before 1.0 release. I was in my early 20's, worry free, getting good money, enjoying time with my girlfriend at the time and my friends. I always enjoyed playing S-E games, especially Final Fantasy XI. I had to build an entire new pc just to enjoy Final Fantasy XIV, mine being a bit overdue. I didn't enjoy the first version of the game as much as I would, working a bit too much for my own good, so I never had the chance to reach the end-game of this era before the servers went down. Little did I know they had ARR in store for us not so long after, which compelled me to upgrade my computer once again, just to enjoy this new and revamped version of the game. Over 13 years later, now in my mid 30's, I'm still exploring the vast lands of Etheirys, fighting alongside friends I found along the way, becoming my second family. I've seen many things during those years, from being healthy and having a good life to being sick and poor. If it wasn't for Final Fantasy XIV, I would have completely lost hope as I am now disabled and in great pain almost 24/7. This game gave me the opportunity to live my life to the fullest, albeit being in a digital world. Living fantastic adventures, meeting new companions, fighting woes and discovering new lands, while learning about the past of this world. I saved the day more than once, shed tears, experienced departure and death from both the real and digital life. I will always cherish those moments spent playing my miqo'te bard, tackling every new challenges thrown at me and I really hope I'll be able to continue walking the land for many years to come. A huge thank you for Square-Enix for crafting this delicate yet exciting universe, see you all on the boat for our next destination. Forge Ahead!
Agree completely. Especially since every single one who is likeable tends to have nice surprises from their fans. This one, I do agree, was really cool because of the different iterations of his characters.
A note to take in... The BGM for "The Final Day" starts out as a medley of the music of the expansion bossfights before it flips to the remix of The Makers Ruin :D And yeah... you were absolutely correct. That was not her song, that was OUR song. There is also a little beauty in Meteion at the end. She's no longer full of despair, black and white. But neither is she the the striking bright hues of blue. She has matured, her colours are a little darker, but they aren't gone. She can balance her emotions...
"You’re messing with the Bard. But I don’t think this is your song. I Think this is mine” I'm sending this clip to my friends they gotta see ur insanity haha
Dude that group of people that mirrored your WOL was one of the coolest things I've seen for a streamer from thier community. Such a small but extremely meaningful touch, thank you everyone
That moment when two of the most powerful people of the Source come together against a "roadblock" so that they can duke it out without interruptions, had me giggling in tears.
Instantly liked for the positive masculinity in being brave enough not only to cry on stream, but to include it in your edited video. It would be SO easy to just exclude that for the sake of 'saving face'. I so deeply appreciate your inclusion and vulnerability to, not just your fans, but the public in general. I dearly hope our community continues to bring you joy and keep you happy and comfy in this wonderful world. All to say - welcome home. 💚 Not just as an XIV player, but an Azerothean refugee. Welcome. Home.
I thought that this expansion had taken all my tears. But seeing your community band together to recreate Heroes past whom you walked alongside in previous expansions was beyond anything I could have imagined. I found myself crying for Endwalker all over again! If I had something like that happen to me I don’t know if I could have kept moving forward I think I would have broken down completely. What a wonderful community and what an amazing experience!
@@TGPDrunknHick very true and they compliment each other very well. I just love all the greek and hindu stuff. FF as a series has always added awesome references
Agreed. Like I get and almost agree with anyone who says Shadowbringers is better, because of pacing issues and some other random problems. But God, endwalker made me BALL. So much. It struck me in a way nothing else ever has and even reinforced my new life mantra. Even problematic things, like the death fakeouts, I just didn't have a problem with.
Different strokes for different folks. Some argue Endwalker is better for those emotional highs and years of lead up, others that the 2 are too different to directly compare, and yet more that Shadowbringers is better, but that Endwalker made it even better again.
this is why I love the FF14 community, they truely love the game, just like Yoshi P does. you will find them everywhere not a day goes by when I don't see at least one bard in limsia playing music you find people rping, talking dancing even performing concerts and hosting rp events and its on EVERY sever not just a few. honestly the FF14 community is one of the best I've encountered.
The raw emotion of this... this game is a roller coaster of emotions from start to finish. It reminds me of what I felt when I went through this, and it still makes me break down watching others complete this masterpiece of a game. I'm glad you enjoyed it thus far, but it's as the saying goes. When one story ends, a new begins... see you all in the next chapter.
Congratulations Warrior of Light I hope you enjoyed your Jurney as much as the rest of us did. But it is not over quite yet, there is still so much to do, so much we do not know Lets go on an Adventure ^^
Yours is a long road, my friend. And it stretches on to places beyond imagining. With your every step, these grand adventures shall grow more distant and faint. And there may come a day when you forget the faces and voices of those you have met along the way. On that day, I bid you remember this: That no matter how far your journey may take you, you stand where you stand by virtue of the road you walked to get there. For in times of hardship, when you fear you cannot go on… The joy you have known, the pain you have felt, the prayers you have whispered and answered--they shall ever be your strength and your comfort.
This expansion Is probably the best I ever played in an mmo. Never fails to bring a tear when I watch someone react to their first time. I look forward to your journey ahead.
Shb was good at making people cry too but that last walk of endwalker i think definitely took the cake as biggest tearjerker. I still cry hearing the music.
Watching your play through was like reliving the experience and your VA was fun, I only wish I could've seen your playthrough of the dead ends. Amazing work!
I always love Zenos's question at the end before the final battle. Do I know the feeling he so fervently feels? Do I crave it too? One more fight, one more kill? ... Yes, of course I do. We *all* do as players of this game. Yes, what drew you to it was likely the reputation of the story's quality, or a preexisting fondness on your part for MMOs, Final Fantasy, or both, but what *kept* you playing? If the story was good, but the game was a slog, it would not be nearly as popular as it is. We all know the feeling of wanting to do one more quest, fight one more new boss, defeat a new dungeon, down a new raid, getting another level, gaining another skill, upgrading your arms and armor, and most of all, the thrill of a fight that truly captivates, like everyone's first reaction to SPACE on Thordan. To deny him here is to deny your very play of the game, especially if you have so much as a single alt job. That isn't needed to get through the story. You wanted to see and feel their buttons. You wanted to feel the rush of bringing them into a fight.
It feels like he's talking straight to the player there lol of course I had to pick the second answer where WoL is like 'Yeah bro you're right let's fucking goooo'
I actually really appreciate you editing in the photos/labels of each character speaking during the walk up to Meteion! I really struggle with recognizing voices so I struggled to know who half of them were when I had gone through it. Really helped me out a lot there!
I was doing some initial poking around to try and find where I heard them before, and this was my first click having seen some of Jay's other videos. I appreciate that edit as well. Rewatching the walk up the ramp also broke me more than when I did it thanks to the voicing. I can't wait for me to bring my own +1 to this point, though I hope I don't crack under the feels...
I'd say even phase 1 was our song. It's glorious mashup of every single major boss theme from fights the Warrior of Light has triumphed over in their journey to get here. I believe phase 1, a song of determination and perseverance, to phase 2, a song of friendship and hope, belong entirely to us.
W O W ... what an incredible community!! I was completely taken aback by how drawn in i was to the stream, let alone the players waiting for you after the pivotal story moments!.. the fans and loyalty aold me, the genuine nature and love of the experience made me a believer. I'm so grateful that i stumbled across this channel 🤩🥰
Crazy to see this moment again. I found the forming of the ring around the platform on accident, as I was coming up to take some screenshots LMAO. Was an incredible time. Here's to everyone that was there, and here's to 7.0.
I think what makes the scene with the twins hit so much harder is the music is from Flames of Truth when their grandfather Luisoix used the power of the Twelve to take down Bahamut.
I am so happy that I discovered this channel. The passion and intent you put into all the voices as you play got me re-living each step of the path, and crying and smiling with you. This game is so meaningful for so many... You made it amazingly intense and even more beautiful. Great work!!! I look forward to see you play and enjoy your careful dedication and amazing voice acting. You're great!!! Thanks for giving us the experience of re-living this ❤
Congratulations for ending the calamity, fellow Warrior of Light. It was a long and emotional journey, but not the end of your story. Your followers, fans, and friends came together and gifted you such unique experience, and this warms my heart! May you walk in the light, and set on another grand adventure, together, with all of us.
The feels hit you hard in this section for sure. I was not ready for that at all and wow did it hit. It was worth it. No mater how many times I see this I feel exactly the same. It was nice to see the community did for you from your old toons and more. Glad you've enjoyed the story/game ^,^
Aww buddy, it's okay we all cried, when we did the quest ourselves and again with you. I'm so glad you enjoyed FFXIV and showed your emotions to us, I hope you're excited for the next expansion!
I truly regret that I didn't get to take part in all of this. Everyone needs a broody DRG/RPR in Their streams. And I sure as hell would have wanted to be one of them to fight beside you, brother. :) Back in STormblood, when I first saw Zenos just wreck everything, I had this gut feeling immediately that something like this would happen in the end. God, I love being right. PS: for anyone curious "Akh Morn" In Dragonspeak translates to "Circle of Death"
1:29:54 I played Hyur so this was just a normal cutscene to me, but seeing your character on a stretcher put a funny image in my head of the scions all working together to haul a big roedaddy back into the ship...
Hey Jay, congrats on beating 6.0! I will say if you really like their stories, you should do the Loporrit and Omicron Beast Tribes, their stories are just beautiful (Even if you do them off-stream, they're amazing and worth it). Keep up the amazing content!
im so happy you've found the joy that comes with this game. sure, it's not for everyone but those who it is for, it's absolutely our game. great watching you truly be immersed in the cut scenes and care about these characters. here's to dawntrail and all the journeys it will have!
I forgot how beautiful Ultima Thule's story was. I'm a right mess again. Thanks for letting me relive this experience again through you. Congratulations on beating base Endwalker
after seeing the newest expansions trailer, im extremely hopeful that we will get to meet emet selch, hythlodaeus, venat, and hermes, reborn into eitherys of the present day and become inseparable friends of ours. even if they lose their memories upon rebirth, just having them with us would bring so much joy to my weary heart. if i have to wait another ten years for it i will gladly, the wait was worth it for the hydaelyn zodiark saga, and i have no doubt at all that it will be just as amazing this time around. having a new beginning with ffxiv dawntrail is a perfect way to set the stage once again, and avoid the narrative trappings wow suffered from.
Never before did I realize that the line "Walk free, walk free" would line up exactly with Zenos' last, ragged breath. Walk free my friend, my nemesis. No longer must you walk this torturous path.
"All the while you would come and go. Wherever you are needed. And together, we would travel..." When Hythlodaeus talks about Azem and Emet. It's like that meme, "Emotional Damage!" lol, can't even form a well written sentence or thought. Love this game.
Oh god i see it like 20 time and i still crying. The first time i pass that after ibstay like 10 min sit in the front of my pc and just........ Suffer in silence.
It’s definitely an emotional rollercoaster. Though it does make me want to truly go back and just walk with any and all travelers. Because when my friends showed up I was breaking down
What would had made our glowing fist better if it was the color of the soul crystal equipped so for dark knight in this example it would be a dark black aura with an orange glow it's outline
You know, I'm always left wondering how much Azem knows. The ending cutscene he does actually refer to Azem clearly, since if the wol is male, he says he and if female he says she. Thats the ultimate proof that he was talking about Azem imho.
you know, I've seen this reacted to many times, and I only just now realize the absolute BDE Krile has to just go and send him our way almost immediately after we left. Granted, he was on his way there, but I can't imagine she wouldn't have had some choice words for the man as she was doing this.
Not gonna lie, I cheered during the crystal path walk when I finally found a streamer that RP walked it like I did. I burst into double tears as soon as the community made this walk even better.
The end of the game is already super heavy, I can't imagine how it must feel to walk by past iterations of yourself on your way to the end. I normally say Ultima Thule is best experienced completely alone, but that is a definite exception.
“Endsinger. You’re messing with the Bard. But I don’t think this is your song!
I Think This is MINE!”
*OUR SONG OF HOPE, SHE DANCES ON THE WIND*
Could not have been timed better.
I popped off at that part!
Just when I thought the music drop couldn't hit any harder, Jay just added another layer of epic on top of it!
It's honestly the funniest thing that everyone around you is so scared and concerned for your safety. They believe in you but aren't confident you can go it alone.
Then Zenos shows up like "Bro, I thought you'd be done by now."
Man really believed in us like nobody else ever did.

this is why I love the FF14 community, they truely love the game, just like Yoshi P does. you will find them everywhere not a day goes by when I don't see at least one bard in limsia playing music you find people rping, talking dancing even performing concerts and hosting rp events and its on EVERY sever not just a few. honestly the FF14 community is one of the best I've encountered.
not me crying 2 seconds into the vid and then crying at you crying and then crying again 30 seconds later, this gets me every time
The raw emotion of this... this game is a roller coaster of emotions from start to finish. It reminds me of what I felt when I went through this, and it still makes me break down watching others complete this masterpiece of a game. I'm glad you enjoyed it thus far, but it's as the saying goes. When one story ends, a new begins... see you all in the next chapter.
The fact these scenes still choke me up to this day. I was such a wreck during this sequence, and when i asked my friends, all i got was " me too"
When Meteon breaks and falls to her knees at the flower scene... I feel so BAD for her.
Congratulations Warrior of Light
I hope you enjoyed your Jurney as much as the rest of us did.
But it is not over quite yet, there is still so much to do, so much we do not know
Lets go on an Adventure ^^
So, G’raha is a former bard, so it feels like it’s his voice singing to us as everyone else added more music with their hopeful sacrifice.
G’raha wasn’t a Bard, just an Archer.
But the lyrics are implied to be from him
Man whoever did the translation for this game did such a good job the dialogue is so well written
Koji Fox and his team are always impressive!
Michael "Koji" fuckmothering Fox! He's the localization lead, and a damn legend at that!
Yours is a long road, my friend. And it stretches on to places beyond imagining.
With your every step, these grand adventures shall grow more distant and faint.
And there may come a day when you forget the faces and voices of those you have met along the way.
On that day, I bid you remember this: That no matter how far your journey may take you, you stand where you stand by virtue of the road you walked to get there.
For in times of hardship, when you fear you cannot go on…
The joy you have known, the pain you have felt, the prayers you have whispered and answered--they shall ever be your strength and your comfort.
This expansion Is probably the best I ever played in an mmo. Never fails to bring a tear when I watch someone react to their first time. I look forward to your journey ahead.
Shb was good at making people cry too but that last walk of endwalker i think definitely took the cake as biggest tearjerker. I still cry hearing the music.
Watching your play through was like reliving the experience and your VA was fun, I only wish I could've seen your playthrough of the dead ends. Amazing work!
I always love Zenos's question at the end before the final battle. Do I know the feeling he so fervently feels? Do I crave it too? One more fight, one more kill? ... Yes, of course I do. We *all* do as players of this game. Yes, what drew you to it was likely the reputation of the story's quality, or a preexisting fondness on your part for MMOs, Final Fantasy, or both, but what *kept* you playing? If the story was good, but the game was a slog, it would not be nearly as popular as it is. We all know the feeling of wanting to do one more quest, fight one more new boss, defeat a new dungeon, down a new raid, getting another level, gaining another skill, upgrading your arms and armor, and most of all, the thrill of a fight that truly captivates, like everyone's first reaction to SPACE on Thordan. To deny him here is to deny your very play of the game, especially if you have so much as a single alt job. That isn't needed to get through the story. You wanted to see and feel their buttons. You wanted to feel the rush of bringing them into a fight.
It feels like he's talking straight to the player there lol of course I had to pick the second answer where WoL is like 'Yeah bro you're right let's fucking goooo'
I do love zenos at the end being like "you are a raider right? you like to fight crazy shit too?"
I actually really appreciate you editing in the photos/labels of each character speaking during the walk up to Meteion! I really struggle with recognizing voices so I struggled to know who half of them were when I had gone through it. Really helped me out a lot there!
I was doing some initial poking around to try and find where I heard them before, and this was my first click having seen some of Jay's other videos. I appreciate that edit as well.
Rewatching the walk up the ramp also broke me more than when I did it thanks to the voicing. I can't wait for me to bring my own +1 to this point, though I hope I don't crack under the feels...
A really Nice Edit touch putting each picture on the left side like that, I Like this :) also love Endwalker ending always :)
Phase 1 of the fight was endsinger’s theme
Phase 2 of the fight was *our* theme
Welcome to the end, jay
I'd say even phase 1 was our song. It's glorious mashup of every single major boss theme from fights the Warrior of Light has triumphed over in their journey to get here. I believe phase 1, a song of determination and perseverance, to phase 2, a song of friendship and hope, belong entirely to us.
This is the absolute best kind of reaction, when the player is fully invested in the twists and turns of the story!🎉
W O W ... what an incredible community!! I was completely taken aback by how drawn in i was to the stream, let alone the players waiting for you after the pivotal story moments!.. the fans and loyalty aold me, the genuine nature and love of the experience made me a believer. I'm so grateful that i stumbled across this channel 🤩🥰
Crazy to see this moment again. I found the forming of the ring around the platform on accident, as I was coming up to take some screenshots LMAO.
Was an incredible time. Here's to everyone that was there, and here's to 7.0.
I think what makes the scene with the twins hit so much harder is the music is from Flames of Truth when their grandfather Luisoix used the power of the Twelve to take down Bahamut.
I am so happy that I discovered this channel. The passion and intent you put into all the voices as you play got me re-living each step of the path, and crying and smiling with you. This game is so meaningful for so many... You made it amazingly intense and even more beautiful. Great work!!! I look forward to see you play and enjoy your careful dedication and amazing voice acting. You're great!!! Thanks for giving us the experience of re-living this ❤
Congratulations for ending the calamity, fellow Warrior of Light. It was a long and emotional journey, but not the end of your story. Your followers, fans, and friends came together and gifted you such unique experience, and this warms my heart!
May you walk in the light, and set on another grand adventure, together, with all of us.
I swear no matter how many of these ending experience videos I watch I always cry oml.
Subbing for sure you seem like a really cool dude ❤
The journey is never really over. The end of one journey is the beginning of another!
I never realized you were in my server all along, been enjoying your reactions to the whole expansion!
The editing on this video I love! The flashbacks and cuts to your old characters are fantastic
I've only watched 10 mins so far, I'm already as emotional as you. Endwalker was a trip, glad you enjoyed!
The feels hit you hard in this section for sure. I was not ready for that at all and wow did it hit. It was worth it. No mater how many times I see this I feel exactly the same. It was nice to see the community did for you from your old toons and more. Glad you've enjoyed the story/game ^,^
Your friends are incredible w
Wow you are the first who'd make new characters for every expansion, that is amazing.
Aww buddy, it's okay we all cried, when we did the quest ourselves and again with you. I'm so glad you enjoyed FFXIV and showed your emotions to us, I hope you're excited for the next expansion!
"Tell me.... has your journey been good?"
Worth every step I took.
It's so amazing to see how much you enjoy the story and the amount of screenshot you take with a smile haha. Thank you for such an amazing Journey!
I truly regret that I didn't get to take part in all of this. Everyone needs a broody DRG/RPR in Their streams. And I sure as hell would have wanted to be one of them to fight beside you, brother. :)
Back in STormblood, when I first saw Zenos just wreck everything, I had this gut feeling immediately that something like this would happen in the end. God, I love being right.
PS: for anyone curious "Akh Morn" In Dragonspeak translates to "Circle of Death"
so glad to see you end your journey. The end of endwalker is really something, i cried even if i know all of these cinematics xD good job!
1:29:54
I played Hyur so this was just a normal cutscene to me, but seeing your character on a stretcher put a funny image in my head of the scions all working together to haul a big roedaddy back into the ship...
Hey Jay, congrats on beating 6.0! I will say if you really like their stories, you should do the Loporrit and Omicron Beast Tribes, their stories are just beautiful (Even if you do them off-stream, they're amazing and worth it). Keep up the amazing content!
Zenos: I take it this is your prey? But why does it still live? Are you the BITCH of Light now or something?
"It's over." It's really, just beginning...
im so happy you've found the joy that comes with this game. sure, it's not for everyone but those who it is for, it's absolutely our game. great watching you truly be immersed in the cut scenes and care about these characters. here's to dawntrail and all the journeys it will have!
I forgot how beautiful Ultima Thule's story was. I'm a right mess again. Thanks for letting me relive this experience again through you. Congratulations on beating base Endwalker
after seeing the newest expansions trailer, im extremely hopeful that we will get to meet emet selch, hythlodaeus, venat, and hermes, reborn into eitherys of the present day and become inseparable friends of ours. even if they lose their memories upon rebirth, just having them with us would bring so much joy to my weary heart. if i have to wait another ten years for it i will gladly, the wait was worth it for the hydaelyn zodiark saga, and i have no doubt at all that it will be just as amazing this time around. having a new beginning with ffxiv dawntrail is a perfect way to set the stage once again, and avoid the narrative trappings wow suffered from.
Legendary timing on that Zenos finish, the music flows so well with that end scene.
I swear, you are so good at the voices. I kinda want to hear you read the short stories on Lodestone...
Never before did I realize that the line "Walk free, walk free" would line up exactly with Zenos' last, ragged breath.
Walk free my friend, my nemesis. No longer must you walk this torturous path.
"All the while you would come and go. Wherever you are needed. And together, we would travel..." When Hythlodaeus talks about Azem and Emet. It's like that meme, "Emotional Damage!" lol, can't even form a well written sentence or thought. Love this game.
Wow what an amazing community you have to do something like this for you. I would have absolutely lost it if my friends did this for me.
Oh god i see it like 20 time and i still crying. The first time i pass that after ibstay like 10 min sit in the front of my pc and just........ Suffer in silence.
It’s definitely an emotional rollercoaster. Though it does make me want to truly go back and just walk with any and all travelers. Because when my friends showed up
I was breaking down
What would had made our glowing fist better if it was the color of the soul crystal equipped so for dark knight in this example it would be a dark black aura with an orange glow it's outline
Note that the Loppies say "anyway" but every other FFXIV character says "anyroad."
Oh man, I think I was there for this, actually(Unless you replayed the MSQ recently on stream)
Such a cool finale
congrats on finishing endwalker i hope you had fun for everyone being there waiting for you getting out of cutseen
Congradulations for endwalking!
Close the Distance is a very powerful song.
You know, I'm always left wondering how much Azem knows. The ending cutscene he does actually refer to Azem clearly, since if the wol is male, he says he and if female he says she. Thats the ultimate proof that he was talking about Azem imho.
Congrats on completing Endwalker, Jay!
No way, when he does his Bard battle cry "It's my song" and then the lyrics play... PEAK GAMING! Chefs kiss! HIiiiiGHERRR
I remember selecting "I can't. Not again." I don't recall what he says, but the face the WoL makes is utterly heart-rending.
This was the BEST Community follow to the Final Day i saw on YT
I cry every time I rewatch this ending, it's so wonderful
you know, I've seen this reacted to many times, and I only just now realize the absolute BDE Krile has to just go and send him our way almost immediately after we left. Granted, he was on his way there, but I can't imagine she wouldn't have had some choice words for the man as she was doing this.
I love this community.
No other game has had such an intense and interactive fanbase :D
Welcome to the end of EndWalker. Along with, Please Join us for another expansion arriving in the summer of 2024!!
Your community is insane.
Not gonna lie, I cheered during the crystal path walk when I finally found a streamer that RP walked it like I did. I burst into double tears as soon as the community made this walk even better.
"Twitter discovers Existential Nihilism and makes it everyones problem" The DLC
The end of the game is already super heavy, I can't imagine how it must feel to walk by past iterations of yourself on your way to the end. I normally say Ultima Thule is best experienced completely alone, but that is a definite exception.
"well....with the world finally safe for the time being....i think its about time i see what it is ive been protecting"
2:39:10
1:14:15 Can't deny it that you deliver the word perfectly well there!
I have an 40-inch mousepad of the splash art at 1:39:50 , and I love it so dearly.
