Find yourself someone who loves you, like Liz loves Graha.
Lmfao problem is I love Graga like everyone else too haha ❤
the ultimate Graha stan
@@orokanaangel9907omg you love Gragas too? Beer belly gang Beer belly gang
Yesss!!
And stalk them relentlessly.
"You cant romance characters in FFXIV"
*The creator of this animation* Reality can be what ever I want it to be.
I swear to god, if Dawntrail does not let us romance how many scions or important NPC we want, what's the fucking point.
I want to romance my cat !!
The DETAIL of "Stay Silent" being the only option in the moment he left us, heading into the tower alone, and the adamant refusal I could just- *hear* that we could call his name no matter what this time, we would refuse to stay silent at his reveal was- oh my god a u gh
I dono if im stupid but i remember i could call him by his name. But i did the tower quest line realy early on so i think that actually matters? Or they changed it
@@rucharesakaruru If you don't do Crystal Tower you don't know who he is, so there's no option to call him by his name. If you do it that's when the option unlocks. There's a lot that changes in this game based on what content you do or not (dialogue options you have available, whole cutscenes, characters additional dialogue), this is just one of the more major impacting ones.
@@ayonixanimationsI was forced to do Crystal Tower during ARR patches when I played. Note that I started after SHB was released, so maybe they changed this and it was optional before
@@meisterxehanort1941 It was. It was the 5.3 patch I believe that made CT mandatory. They forced it because with how post goes and a lot of the emotional weight it just fucking lost, which sucks for those players missing out because of some random optional content from 4 expansions ago. I get that they're alliance raids, but I haven't even finished Alexander or started Omega (and I started after ShB came out). I only did CT because someone bribed me with heterochromia G'raha.
I chose “call him by his name” without even remembering the details of what happened in the Crystal Tower. I also told him that a smile better suits a hero, which I also only vaguely remembered hearing and didn’t at all recall the context. Damn, now it all hits even harder.
For those unaware, Crystal Tower used to not be mandatory content, and the "Call him by his name" option was only available if you had done Crystal Tower.
Wait crystal tower isn't mandatory anymore?
@@Miro_X No, it's mandatory now, but it wasn't in the past (like, the first couple of months or so after shadowbringers release). I actually did it afterwards, so I didn't have the option 😭
@@Tesskr955.3 made it mandatory :] (about a year after the expansion! crazy they waited that long but the patch was also delayed due to the pandemic)
*LizArd puts out this video*
Me: "I felt a terrible disturbance in the Force, as if a million G'raha Tia fans were suddenly struck by the feels...."
To think this Graha had to watch his WOL die and wait over a hundred years to hear her say his name again.
G'raha didn't witness WoL's death, but considering the time he was awakened before he got YEETed right into the First, it may as well be.
Three hundred years, actually: 200 years were spent in the Crystal Tower (though we don't know if he was conscious for all of it), and then Garlond Ironworks sent him and the Tower to the First, where he waited for another 100 years
Also Graha really is one continuous entity with all his memories intact, so the G‘raha in current MSQ still retains all of his memories from this… such a powerful character arc, man. That guy went through a lot

The ear wiggles that swooned a million hearts
How many FFXIV players already had this as their head canon before the video?😂
Awesome job, sincerely.👍
LITERALLY SCENE FOR SCENE
NO FOR REAL
Not me but i aways believed it should have been warriorS of light so i Like to think of this as a fellow WOL finding someone.
I certainly did.
Video based on idea from @Twocoolman115! Thank you so much for being interested in knowing more about them
No wonder she's so attached to him in all the animations, they're making up for a lot of lost time ♥
YOU LEAVE HIM A SAMMICH THEN HE LEAVES YOU A SAMMICH ON THE FIRST!
I immediately thought of Bene-G's "You made me a sandwich?!" video, but I don't think she's happy with him right now.
DAMMIT I'M TEARING UP AGAIN
That moment had me screaming and crying to my friend over VC, and this vid brought it all rushing back. I love the callback to your date vid around Old Sharlyan with G'raha where they were sitting close and held hands! They were such goofy goobers and seeing them as young and flirting just, agh, my heart. I could never not call out his name 😭
Your girl's reactions are spot on and the way you animate her and G'raha is beautiful. I see a lot of my WoL in how yours reacts to anything G'raha, but yours has such a wonderful charm too! I'm cheering for them! (And your post about her backstory for the relationship was so sweet! I'm here for WoLs who find the footing by having one person believe in them, and wanting to do all they can to live up to those beliefs.)
Wow, that was wonderful. Nice use of symmetry and transitions. You really tied the weight of that dialogue option to the memories associated with it. Nevermind the headcannon stuff (which was adorable, BTW. Never change.). I just mean that whole CT adventure with him previously being optional, and having that dialogue choice become available to us because our WoL took the time to get to know who this catboy was. It felt really rewarding in the moment.
Thanks for the great content, and keep being awesome.
Gah, I love it! Honestly, I could watch these two adorable dweebs be adorable dweebs for hours. And that callback (or maybe call forward) to the Sharlayan video was so cool!
Please my heart is so fragile 😭😭😭
This was incredible! Very well done with the emotional strength of it. And the detail of adamantly *refusing* to stay silent. Wonderful. Also.
"Only those who possess the royal eye of the allagan imperial line are capable of operating the crystal tower. Such individuals do not exist in the first."
When Shadowbringers was released at some time in the story I already had my theory, that he was G'raha..
The moment it was revealed, I felt so happy to see him again and that he's part of the MSQ now..
Always tearing up at this part of the story and I ALWAYS have to "Call him by his name"
Staying silent is no option!
That transition at the end...my feels! I also love how you showed callbacks to them sitting together on the wall, and the sandwich. Those two are just too precious. 😭😭😭
not a dry eye in the house. thank you for bringing this scene to life even more
i’m literally sitting in my hotel room at this convention staring at the 8 g’raha tia art pieces i’ve bought when i got this notification THANK YOU.
THERE IT ISSSSSSSSSS~~~ Omg the way you do the facial expressions are godlike 😍
Amazing work! I love the mix of gameplay and your animation, and the way you use the filters to make it mix together so wellllll~
Super inspiring! 🥰 My canon pair
Making me tear up, this brought all those feelings back up. Great job!
Leaving a sandwich for him, just like he did later in ShB. 😢And connecting to your other videos. 👏👏👏 Well done!
Hello, Squenix? Hire this lizard, your cutscene quality will improve massively.
Yes, for any cutscene with G’raha in it
Problem is, all of these are made using blender animation and rendering, while ff14's cutscenes, except for the cg's in trailers etc, are all done in engine.
This video is tugging on my heart strings so bad - I still can't get over how much depth the facial expressions you animate give these two cuties! ❤
That moment had me bawling my eyes out when I first played Shadowbringers: our WoL finally has the confirmation that, of course, it was him all along, who else could've pulled this off, despite the hardship ❤
Need an animation of her taking the Exarch's memory phylactery back to the Source.
I have one of waking him up with it already! :D
th-cam.com/video/W5PD3LQvaGQ/w-d-xo.html
Thank you. We all had the background, but you made it real after several years.
if that is not an accurate representation of my WOL and G'Raha then idk what is!
This is so great😺😹😼😽
When Raha locked himself in the tower I was broken😿
My exact feeling going Through my head at this moment!! Once again thanks for expressing that in such a lovely animation video!
Meanwhile, Emet-Selch: Hey guys, have you seen my new bike? 😎
I'm not crying, you're crying 😭😭😭 This is beautiful
I could watch your animations all day TwT so sweet and well made!
Honestly, I'm pretty sure Liz would have known it was G'raha the MILLISECOND she heard/saw/smelled him
So I had an eye exam earlier today and they numbed my eyes with some yellow colored eye drops, but thought I had cleaned my eyes. I watched this and immediately started crying yellow tears LOL. I love these so much, thank you ❤
This is amazing I just got to this cutscene the other day on my alt ;-; I love your work
You did a fantastic job! Great animation and this part, got me good when I played through it. I didn't even remember who he was (I was catching up and just grinding through content but the raid for ARR I had done so long ago) and still chose to call his name and his reaction messed me up :') Never forgot him again that's for sure.
Its crazy how they took kind of a throw away character from six years ago and made him what most people would agree is the most important NPC in the game.
Seeing all the Graha thirst makes me wish we had more female options in this game to go ga-ga over. Its pretty much just Yshtola in the Scions. Im quite fond of Hilda but she hasnt done anything in years.
Yeah my husband is the same way and he refused to ship his cat boy with shtola bc of runar
Headcanon that G’raha purrs super loudly like an actual cat when petted.
ANOTHER BANGER AS ALWAYS ❤❤
OMG
I just played this part - and this is exactly what was missing for me! of ccouse I called him by his name!
thank you for this video - it gave me chills 😭
I saw this once already on Twitter, and it made me cry.
I saw it again just now, here, and it made me cry again.
That says a *lot* about the emotional weight of this animation.
When he found the sandwich she left for him- my heart! 😭❤️
Ah yes, emotional devastation through talented animation. ❤
You are such a talent, Liz - I'm all teary-eyed! It's so beautiful ;_;
OMG, this is so adorable and sweet and cute and lovely, just AAAAGGH adorable af! 🥺🥺🥺
The animations are actually really smooth and have a lot of personality.
Oh mah gawd....... I just the full body chills and felt all her emotions ♥
I gotta give your major props for the editing at 0:52. Going from “Stay silent” being your only option as he walked away from you in the past, to the present moment where you’re presented with the same prospect of saying goodbye once again is so powerful and so beautifully displayed here.
Your WoL's undying thirst for G'raha is so damn adorable!
0:38 the TAILSSSSS the small details are so cute
You bloody nailed it, I love it!!
your animations have improved so much in all aspects, i absolutely adore every last one of these
I was not expecting to be moved to tears in 1 minute and 3 seconds.
exactly how I felt ...
Liz and G'raha are too sweet!!! I can never get enough of these videos, my heart melts everytime!!! 🥰
Crying and shaking rn, it’s too precious, pleASE.
I just love seeing u post Graha is sooo cute! I love him sooo much! I'm glad that you love him to!
How dare you make this video..... My heart can't take it. LOL It's a nice video thanks for sharing.
If I can one day be in a relationship that is even like a tiny fraction as sweet and awesome as the one between your WoL and Graha then my life will have been a success. Adore your videos so much!
I'm screaming and crying!!
This one is just too good! 😭❤️
0:38 Hold up~ Throwback to your "G'raha Tia is Now Accompanying You" video~?
I love ur animation so much!! They are every time so cute.... im happy when i see more from u :3 ♥
LizArd can't keep getting away with this! ;-;
I'M NOT CRYING YOU'RE CRYING!
The expressions of your au ra are extremely cute
Im not that big of a simp for Graha... but God damn dude did so much even my cold little uncarryign heart dropped tear for him
You two are canon, in my head. Even when I'm playing as my own WoL.
That cutscene in shadowbringers broke me in so many ways.
There can only be one answer.
*sets her siren horn to max* ahem... G'RAHA TIA!!!!!!!!!!!
Goosebumps all over again, Liz you are just too good for the world of Gwaha Fans :3
It's Liz's adventure. We're just living in it.
Another amazing video. ♥
I DON'T EVEN LOVE HIM LIKE Y'ALL BUT I'M CATCHING THE FEELS
WTF, WHY MY EYES SO BLURRY, AAAAAAAAAA
I ship my friend's AuRa with G'raha so I love this. All it is missing is my cat yelling for them to just do it already. This vid is pure weapon's grade cute. ANOTHER!
Every time I see a TH-camr do this scene I get more emotional! GAAAHH ;_;
How dare you make me cry before my shift 😭 😭 😭
You know, i personally dont love G'raha romantically (dont love any of the characters romantically like that tbh) but hes such a bro. He led the people of the first through a world ending calamity even as someone lost from another shard. I love characters that are written to go out and take initiative and do the right thing even without the WoL being there to put everything in motion and to me, that puts G'raha as best tier (along with estinien). He's a great character any way you slice it.
This is SO adorable 😭❤ i wish (and sincerely hope) this would be possible in the game. Maybe in the near future?
IM NOT CRYING YOU'RE CRYING
Damn, I'm so happy you found each other.
I'm glad to know I'm not the only one obsessed with G'raha
FINALLY SOMEONE WHO APPRECIATES RAHA LIKE I DO.
Just comming back here after watching beneg's video to get the prequel
I freaking love these!❤️
This is great. I'm not a WoL/G'raha shipper, but this has so much feeling and care put into it, it's amazing. Maybe I'm a Liz/G'raha shipper now?
Liz going to make me cry again with these videos! 😭
YAY! Emotional trauma!
Dang, I never realized G'raha was ripped. Now I love him even more
ugh my hearttttttt
Why am I crying over someone selse fanfiction T_T its so beautiful
😭😭 your animations are incredible I ship
Beautiful!
That got me right in the feels Q.Q well done :)
So cute ❤
How could you do this to me. My poor cold, dead heart... FEELS AGAIN.
Man... There are ninjas here in my chambers. Chopping onions. Only explanation.
God, Tomorrow And Tomorrow always makes me sob so hard cus it reminds me of G’raha 😭
And there I go, getting shot in the feels for critical damage.
0:30 aww what a cute scene. why does it feel familia-
*just watched ghraha's now accompanying you' earlier*
o-_oh_
:'D
WWWWWEEEEEEEHHHHHHHH
If humans had ears like cats that it’d be REALLY hard to hide your emotions lol. I know exactly what my cat is feeling by his ears haha
I'M FINE.
I'M FINE .
