- SPOILER ALERT These cinematics contain major spoilers for FFXIV: Heavensward | The Far Edge of Fate.
I came back to revisit these cinematics and failed to find good quality versions of the two together as I think they follow on perfectly from each other (skipping the event in between of the awakening of Omega Weapon) so I thought I'd upload them together myself.
I still love how closely Papalymo's sacrifice here mirrors Louiseux's at Cartenau. Right down to the smile of satisfaction.
We may yet see Papalymo again.
It's LouisOIX ;)
@@barkley611 he died in the process of casting the spell hes gone
@@Wiwii1999 I call him Louie Swaaah~
@@barkley611 SPOILER:
We did in EW but...Uh...Yeah...He ain't coming back to us any time soon. RiP Papalymo
"Quite right! Quickly, now! Off you go! The further away the better!" you can hear how scared he is in this line.
He was *fully* aware he was likely just about to die, and wanted to make sure that, should that happen, all of his allies- his friends- wouldn't be there to share in his fate.
He was the person I wanted to die least. My little lala friend :( been with me since I started in Gridania. I still miss you Papalymo. Like Lyse said I will make you proud
I got the shameless flirt. Always felt wierd around him as my female Miqo'te.
Being a Gridania resident is suffering. :^(
@@Mrwednesday84 me too 😵 and I was a Full beard Highlander 🤪
He and Yda really helped me understand my place in Eorzea (I started as an Archer/Bard in Gridania as well), and they were probably the Scions I bonded with the most other than fellow catgirl Y'shtola. So yeah, losing him was heartwrenching.
You know Omega is a gamer because he used Arm's Length to counter the Tidal Wave knockback from Shinryu instead of going near the wave.
May we never forget Potato Jesus
Unfortunately he didn't make a comeback like big J
@David Jones I still don't see him any where....
@@WanderingNerd21 two words: Crystal Exarch.
Woah, I didn't realize it then, but him saying "I bid thee farewell AGAIN, my dear Yda," is hinting at the thing. You stormblood people know what I'm saying.
Lyse took the place of her dead sister Yda, who was the student (I think) of Papalymo, who knew that it wasn't Yda there but Lyse instead. Lyse at one point revealed she wasn't her dead sister and wanted to accomplish the liberation of Ala Mhigo as herself.
Yea I dunno what it meand
If you finished SB and you don't understand the line, you really weren't paying attention to the story going into SB.
Amanda O'Brien farewell yda AGAIN, as in bye when the real yda died and bye to lyse
@@Flexliite I would like to correct a little mistake:
Papalymo knowed from the beginning that it wasn't Yda. Lyse came to him and asked for him to put the mark on her neck where her sister had hers. The mark all from the "Scions of the Seventh Dawn" had somewhere on their body so she coul pretend to be her sister. When Papalymo died it vanished.
That's when she tell all of us that she isn't Yda but her sister Lyse and Thancred, Urianger & co. smiled and just said "We knowed it all the time".
When this first came out, as soon as i heard the eerie "Answers" playing i started to bawl. I've played since 1.0 and all the memories of the final days before the calamity struck flowed back from then. I was bawling and started yelling "NO NOT ANOTHER CALAMIITY", i didn't even realize papalymo was dead until after that.. ;v; RIP dear friend..
bad things happen when you hear that song
soy
He smiled. Just like Louisouix did. Oh, my heart. I cried at this when I first played it, and even now, I get choked up.
Kari Solomon I’m still haunted by haurchefant and ysayle’s.... now our Papalymo?!
Louisouix's Finest Pupil. :`(
He achievement “No More School”... SE is too savage on our emotions... too soon..
This right here is why you don't just throw magic eyes into pits.
It made sense actually. The abyss is death sentence to EVERYONE, even the strongest of dragons.
Ascians and Warrior of Darkness, however, are neither living beings nor are from their world.
Basicallly what i thought when they did this after the Nidhogg-Trial ... "Yeah, that's totally not gonna come back to bit us in the butt, right?".
This part made me cry so much, Heavensward itself made me cry throughout the whole expansion.
Stormblood feels very lacking in emotional and music department. All i hear is same music remixed thru every dungeon and it deosnt even build hype unless you let nostiagia blind you :/
Shadow Sage the worms tail?
That's why this was the last thing I was involved in with FF14, somehow I just had no motivation for Stormblood. When I reached Heavenward, I was so damn pumped to keep going, the whole expansion was great from start to finish, but stormblood just has no motivation for me
@@shadowsage1374 you can say allot of stuff of Stormblood BUT music track was great... from Doma castle to all the remix.
To be fair, I wanted to put a bullet in Ilberd's skull back in Ul'dah.
Started playing FFXIV earlier this year and now in post stormblood but this scene shows three things to me
1. Papalymo saying goodbye to Yda again
2. He really was Louisiox’s greatest student
3. Of all the Scions we lost thus far, he was the only one to go willingly by his own hand and not the hand of another
During Stormblood I found myself saying to the screen when speaking to Yda that Papalymo would be proud of her
? Regarding point #3, Moenbryda also sacrificed herself to save Minfilia (and the rest of the Scions by extension, at that point) from Nabriales back in 2.5.
The voice acting in this scene, especially from Yda and Papalymo, was excellent. It really added to the sadness of the moment.
I know I'm in the minority, but I prefer the english voice actors from 1.0
@@Caldara1 I loved uriangers voice actor. He was in FF12 also.
Imagine summoning Shinryu only for it to become Zenos' pet
Ya dun fucked up, Ilberd!
XarksTheHunter Ala mihgans literally can’t do anything right
Ilberd's plan worked, he forced the alliance hand
Initially I was like "WTF?! Hows that make sense that he can control one of the most powerful forces in the universes" but then Shadowbringers happened, and now it all makes sense.
@@SuppositionalBox he IS emets grandson
I'd imagine hearing that muffled version of hydaelyns voice would put the scare in anyone who played 1.X
Honk Hogan : Total PTSD moment right there.
I never played it, but I read about it and when I heard that I basically went "NO NOT ANOTHER CALAMITY YOU MAD FUCK"
I didnt get in until Stormblood, and even _I_ had a freakout beyond all freakouts there
Never played 1.0 but I knew that if that song was playing, something bad was gonna happen. And I was right, unfortunately
Even as a post 1.X wol I was terrified at first.
Good I'm happy you refused his request to leave. I did as well and ejoyed that he blasted my ass back.
At this point were still hurting from the whole Haurchefrant thing and we just lost minfillia, possibly for good. I get the impression that we're kind of fed up with losing our friends and wouldn't simply abandon them to their deaths.
Admittedly I left........I knew what was coming, and I knew there was nothing I could do...
Paplymo: *bitch I said leave*
I did the same.
@@Japaneseanimeguy That might be true and all but it made no sense to stay. We'd basically be risking death for nothing. I left cause I didn't want his sacrifice to be in vain.
5:12 When you hear Answers and suddenly wonder if the world is about get reset... Again. And this song, so freaking haunting.
Every time I watch this, it always ends with me bawling my eyes out. On both of my characters, I've never taking off "The Finest Pupil's Ally" as my title, and I never will. Your sacrifice wasn't in vain, Papalymo. We got him.
The only time my title changes from this.... is when ( or rather if ) i get Necromancer
I hated they changed it from the original title. Papalymo's Final Witness was such a better title...
@@Thymus that's a major spoiler sadly. Can very easily be interpreted as Papalymo having died
@@verdantmischief7092 Maybe. But by the time they changed it the damage was long done.
At first I didn't want to believe that Papalymo was gone, that he would somehow show up within the post Stormblood quests.
But here I am nearly done with Stormblood's patch quests and it's becoming more and more apparent that both of the friends that introduced me to the Scions back in Gridania are fucking gone.
5:07 As a newcomer to 14, I knew about the calamity that destroyed the world once...And man, just hearing this earie music in the back ground was god damn chilling. I didn't know what was going to happen and it made me REALLY invested in what was about to happen next.
Papalymo You'll never be forgotten, old friend.
When I was playing this I literally screamed “NO! WE JUST GOT HIM BACK!!”
The haunting hymnlike soundtrack makes the whole scene feel powerful
It should. It's "Answers - Reprise", the tune used during the final moments of FFXIV (original). It became the main music of every server while players were forced to watch Bahamut descending to destroy the original game-world. Variations of it are also used in the Final Coil of Bahamut. If you hear it - no matter how beautiful it sounds - it means bad, bad, bad shit is going down.
If you think this was haunting, head to search and type "last 11 minutes of Eorzea". Special side-note, if you also re-watch the old FMV, you'll also see the Warriors of Darkness.
RopeDrink Incorrect. They were the Warriors of Light; in prerendered cutscenes they used a generic set of characters, one for each of the base Disciples of War and Magic, equalling 8 excluding those added only in ARR.
History repeats itself
It so creepy it felt like I was watching another Calamity about to come forth it it was not for Papalymo's scarafise he gave his life to save everyone an this time because the primal was still in a weaken state it was able to work
I love how Omega is quickly attacking by throwing missiles just the moment Shinryu emerges, showing how "heartless" it is
My literal reaction to this scene: "Papa no, papalymo nooooo, noooooo pls, pls, pls, dondothis nodontdothisdonot... no... noooooooooooOOOOOOOO... papalymo... my buddy... no...
I’m a new player and this cinematic from everything that’s happened sticks out to me the most. I felt so involved lol and I was sad for ilberd, but also very mad at him. And when raubahn said I’ll get ala migo for you ilberd I just….-takes breathe-
I didn't even play FFXIV during 1.0 and I understood the meaning and chill of Answers playing.
Ilberd's dubbing is so underrated. It is so goooood.
His pre-heavensward VA was way better imo.
We meme on "sloppeh" quite a fair bit, and understandably so. But when you somehow push aside the extremely heavy accent, he did truly give it his all with the emotions. He's just gone insane with rage and grief to a point where his hour is at hand. His men have died, and so must he.
100% think this is the most underrated performance in the game. You can hear the spite and bitterness and frustration and misery in it.
The voice actor sounds Geordie which is why that "Schloppe" line is even more hilarious
He sounds like squidward
*Refuse To Leave*
*Somehow get knocked back*
"DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiickkkkk.............."
that was my exact reply followed by nooooo, fellow lala friend!
What's funny is at first I was thinking, "Who the hell is that character? I don't remember them?" Oh yeah....it's one of those OTHER Warriors of Light. lol
Coulda just surecasted
I refuse to leave
Paplymo: *I wasnt fucking asking*
Thancreds expression when he's told to carry Yda away. Man. :(
It never ceases to give me chills whenever that haunting "Answers" starting to play.
Also I thought they are re-summoning Bahamut somehow the first time I played it
It’s Answers-Reprise, it plays during the remembrance holiday in ff14 and you can buy it for like 3 on the mogstation.
Omega shows up like "Dragons. I HATE dragons."
I remember the wait after this happened was agonizing. So long seeing that blue moon in the sky just reminding us of papalymo before they dropped the next bit of story before we had to wait for Stormblood
My big bro was watching the cutscene with me, I decided to make myself cry more with playing the song "Anwsers" while the cutscene played. When hydalyn said "WAAAR without strife" it was on beat with papalymo raising his staff In the air. instead of crying more, me and my brother screamed from how on point it was. The song was also perfect because it matched what louisoix did in the Anwsers video.
I'm still waiting for paaplymo to return
Good news, I met some weirdos in black cloaks and they assure me we can resurrect him we just need some crystals and to pray really hard!
That probably recarnate him as shantotto
Waiting for louisoix?? Idk the old geezer who died in arr trailer
@@ISayEssays God damnit, this is exactly how the last Calamity happened!!!
These two been beefing since Final Fantasy 5 its never going end
Papalymo finally got a decent voice actor and then immediately died 🙂
My favorite character of the ff14. I cry everytime i see his sacrifice. Why did they have to sacrifice my beloved Papalymo. I miss him dearly and can't stop crying when i think about him. You are my hero Papalymo!
Its been years and I thought I was over this, but a certain side quest in Old Sharlayan caught me off guard and brought all this back.
Ilberd, you damn bloody fool...
To the end he kept giving the ladies a reason to call him daddy-lymo.
Playing his scenario in Opera Omnia made me love him all the more.
It hits different when you started out in Gridania
Farewell, you best little popoto ;(
I remember this. I cried in 3 different languages:(
2021 and I still come back to this and cry.
This game made me cry so much
Well now you will cry on shadowbringers I got all sentimental and shite
That fight was just before Omega's cup of coffee in the morning ironically. Shinryu got really lucky. haha.
On the other hand this moment was also starting before shinryuu had even fully emerged. *neither* of them had their coffee yet
Oh it’s been forever since I’ve seen rogue thancred
My boi is up there with Donald Duck now.
This still hits me in the feels 😭
Ok the dub for this is actually really really good. my god.
>tfw you don't Arm's Length in time
Guess you can say Papalymo had his...shortcomings. eh? Eh? I know too soon. I went to dungeon and said joke as mch. Healer said "YOU GET ONE REGEN FOR THAT MAKE IT LAST" Was a fun run.
Not gonna lie, the voice acting for this seen was glorious. I knew i was in for a feels train, but underestimated how much so. I wanted to kill this guy since end of ARR, but damn. Never expected this. HW ended with a bang and i had never been so quick to buy dlc/expansion to find out what happens next. I dont think i ever enjoyed an MMO story like this amd highly recommend anyone who wants to try.
Also love the dreary version of Answers that played at end of 1.0 it was a fantastic way to make you dread what was going to happen.
I strongly believe this should've been a cinematic with strombloodpart been the second half.
Ilberd out here chewing scenery like its Hubba Bubba. What a great villain.
Imagine the bards' tales that these events would inspire.
I now realise that the theme that plays is the exact same theme that played during 1.0 around the time Dalamud was going to fall on eorzea
Can't wait to go through this content in NG+
I miss Papalymo so much...
I only knew Papalymo from FFRK, and now you’re telling me he’s dead? =\
x2
@0ddMonk3y I wouldn't say that. When you see Omega fighting Shinryu, you have to ask yourself how much damage Shinryu would have done to the region - if not the ENTIRE WORLD - if Papalymo hadn't bought the time for the Scions to get Omega on the scene to fight him. Yeah, it helped Zenos indirectly, but we had time to get stronger and to defeat it/him at that time.
Papalymo bought the world and the WoL the most precious gift possible - time.
S L O P P Y !
FOR ALABAMA MHIGO!
Wait... Ilberd is a sick bastard. And he's the Gryphon. So you can say he's an ill-bird.
I bet he was when he hit the ground.
@@ActionDucky that was an amazing pun. And by amazing, I mean freaking terrible, lmao
Rest In Piece Fellow Gridania Lalafell!
Lalafell, tiny in size, but no limit to their courage.
I miss this dude.
Omfg has it been that long sense I did this?? I feel like I just ran through it but it’s past 2 years ago..... ff14 never cease to amaze me love this game
I’ll always remember Papalymo 😢 The bravest lala 😭
Good effort, Omega.... but go and hide while I take care of Shinryu properly, mmkay?
Only got to this part last night. What a powerful scene.
This entire cutscene is abso-freaking-lutly AMAZING!!! One of the best videogame sequences of all time! I love that sound effect heard when we see Papalymo's shining smile of absolute self-certainty! Not an ounce of regret for what he has chosen!
Papalymo is the GigaChad of the Scions
I think scene , along with Ysayle, is the most i've cried in FF14
As soon as I heard Bahamut's theme, I freaked out knowing we were screwed.
I didn't believe it, I kept expecting him to come back like we see characters do all the time. Imagine my disappointment when I realized he wouldn't be coming back. Took me a long time to accept it
It's been awhile since I watched that first part. I'm happy to have started in Gridania and to have joined the Flames to have felt just a little bit closer to Yda, Papalymo, and unwillingly, Ilberd, too
You know I hate to make his sacrifice seem like it was in vain but man this just created even more problems in the long run.
We weren't initially allowed to engage Shinryu because we assumed he was even stronger than Bahamut.
So we used Omega which led to a borderline nuclear explosion when he clashes with Shinryu.
On top of that we just ended up having to fight an even stronger Shinryu who clearly wasn't as powerful or as destructive as Bahamut.
We also had to fight Omega who was capable of rewriting the rules of reality at like 20% of it's maximum strength.
Papalymo nearly caused the end of the world.
The WoL at this point only beat Nidhogg with the help of Hraesvelgrs eye and Shinryu was MUCH MUCH stronger than Nidhogg. Papalymo made the right choice here, Shinryu was a calamity waiting to happen. Only Zenos at this point and time could take Shinryu outside of Omega, the very same Zenos that practically one shot us in our first meeting with him. And then easily beat us again in our 2nd meeting with him. It wasn't until our THIRD meeting with Zenos that we were finally above his level.
In short, Shinryu WOULD have been a Calamity if Papalymo hadn't sealed him. To quote someone else down in these comments, Papalymo bought us the most precious gift possible: Time.
Time to prepare a counter. Time to get stronger.
Let's mix in some game mechanics for an explanation: Shinryu is a level 70 trial boss. He was summoned when we were still level 60. By sealing him, it bought us time to counter it with Omega, and the fight weakened both of them enough that we had time to level up to 70 before having to deal with either Shinryu *or* Omega.
This scene made me cry on many levels and screwed with my head for about an hour
God fucken damnit. I haven't even moved on from the Steps of Faith... or Minfillia and the Warriors of Darkness.. or Ysayle and Haurchefant... Why must this MMO hurt me so
Omega was playing with his food XD
Just noticed that the same ambient, eerie music that played in the final hours of FF 11 is playing in the background. Amazing.
ff11 is still running
@@nokiabean i think there are maybe some personally owned servers out there, but square pulled the plug on 11 before arr started
@@maxharris4722 do you mean ffxiv 1.0? square are still supporting xi, there's an event going on rn
@@maxharris4722 Yeah, you're thinking of the original release of FF14; they closed the game down, played the "End of an Era" cutscene in-game at the moment of server shutdown, then rebuilt the game from the ground up and re-released it as "A Realm Reborn"
I'm still upset I can't seem to find a papalymo tribute
Why it had to be my beloved papalymo. I cry everytime I see this, bring him back already 😢😢
Answers playing in the background KILLED ME 😭😭
You know what, he actually succeeded in his goal, Ala mihigo was freed
But what he did delayed it much longer, it was explained that those who died with him are the best of Ala Mhigo's fighters, hence why in SB we ran around recruiting people.
@@RoyalKnightish he needed the best to die as it fueled Shinryu.
@@RoyalKnightish It's a tough question to give a definitive answer to - he forced the Alliance's hand, which brought them into the war to free Ala Mhigo, but at the same time the best of Ala Mhigo's own were slaughtered.
I suppose the question boils down to... if he hadn't gone the "sacrifice everybody to summon Shinryu" route and actually preserved his men's lives, would the Alliance still have felt forced into following through?
running msq w/o yda or papalala is just sadness :(
When Ilberd goes *SPLAT*
Everybody gangsta until the apocalypse's theme song starts playing.
Few talk about Ilbred, but the VA really captured the desperate yet sinister freedom fighter's personality with the voice acting. Honestly out of all the epic cutscenes this game had so far, nothing comes close to this one. There is something about showing the raw brutality of war and desperation to reclaim what was forcefully taken. This was probably the most real, haunting and bloodcurdling the game ever got.
This whole sequence is so damn good
Papalymo... He died for our sins.
Ilberd's rictis smile is some haunting shit
Something I’m now just realizing is that characters who studied under louisiox all end up dying in similar manners.
I like how this was recommend to me after papalymo bt and fr came out for dissdia final fantasy opera omnia the mobile game this is his burst animation 8:34 to 8:56
The power unleashed in this battle was immense, but still not enough to match Julyan's frypan attack.
I couldn't have cared less for Papalymo before this point. But this point? This right here? Coolest play a character had made until Shadowbringers
Sad thing is it end up being a pointless sacrifice. Seal didn't hold Shinryu. Then they tried Omega and it failed. Resulting in the Warriors of Light ultimately having to fight him and actually stop him. Sooner everyone realizes that ONLY the Warriors of Light can stop a Primal the better and we wont have to loose any more beloved characters.
Papalymo new that the spell would'nt seal Shinryu he decided to activate it to buy people time for a counterattack fully knowing it would kill him. As far as story the GC leader's plan was to send WOL to face the primal like any other occasion but that dude from Garlemand showed up and offered to use Omega which of course failed and we had to go and kill it.
It wasn’t pointless. The seal was to buy them time. If not for the seal shinryu would’ve been thrashing around a lot sooner ( and if you beat this content before stormblood released you would have spent weeks looking up at the blue sphere in the sky and remembering papalymo)
As said, he bought us time. That was his intent. And Omega weakened it for us.
Omega didn't fail. Omega sealed Shinryu, that's why Zenos had him in a cage on top of the Royal Menagerie.
it’s honestly pretty fucking stupid that they didn’t just destroy the eyes in the first place instead of chucking them into the abyss
one of the few cs I regretted skipping...
The omega beam at 12:10 seems familiar.. Its from FFXII magick spell named 'scathe' lol😍
reference to Final Fantasy V, Shinryu and Omega are rivals and secret bosses on the game
Ilberd with the coolest last words ever.
