Even tho we actually don't see our WoL waking him up, it's kind of easy to imagine that this is how we wake him up. The game shows little in that department and yet the way our WoL runs off the moment Y'shtola says "We'll be okay, go.", basicly after doing the absolute minimum to make sure they are fine, we sprint off with visible anticipation towards the tower. I loved this scene. Shadowbringers is just Peak Final Fantasy 14. Didn't cry that many tears of happyness in a long time.
Us be like: Oh hey Graha, of course you've woken up because we opened the door to the tower. So... listen. I need you to accept these 300+ years of miserable memories into yourself for you to become the version of Graha I WANT you to be.
My WoL was so extatic when he found out there was a way to get G'raha back. There was so much he wanted to show him, tell him and let him see. They had become quite close friends over the course of ShB, and it all made sense why when he realized who he truly was. And I was very excited when we found out we'd finally get to take him on that promised adventure.
Not that it wasn't handle well in the game itself but I love that someone took the time to make a scene like this rather than just skipping to when everyone's recovered.
i think in the game its more for them to leave it up to interpretation. each player has a different relationship with g'raha and each relationship will have a different idea of how their wol would react to him waking up. but i do agree it's lovely to see it executed by fans like this!
AauuauauauuAAUUOOUUUGGHHHHH MY HEEAAARRRRTT you animate SO beautifully, I love the subtle movements that make them feel natural and have weight. Amazing job as always 🥺💕
i love this so much because this is how I imagined my WoL too upon waking him up :((( and the Tangled referenceeee ughhhhhhh my kokoro 😭i love the small details you placed on this such as the sounds and the small movements with G'raha's face and body upon waking up. I look forward to more of your works
Think my favorite part of these is how you Au'ri is almost exactly like mine(your hair is different). Although my buddies had no idea what she looked like till level 80ish because I got my hands on some heavy plate armor and kept glamouring it till after shadowbringers(I thought that was the last expansion and went for a face reveal right before fighting Emet).
If we could add this scene to the game with our own WoL, I'd risk the no mods ban hammer. lol Love the animation, btw. That hug was amazing. (English VA version too much to ask for...? *puppy eyes*)
Not really, the G'raha of our time was sleeping and didn't have any memories past that point, so nothing was replaced. He just received all of the memories from him waking up on that other timeline onwards. His past memories are the same in both cases.
I hope not. I hope we really didn't inject another man's soul into his body without his consent. I really hate that they skipped this scene because a lot of people believe we just shoved the Exarch in there without talking to G'raha about it first. In my head cannon, we woke him up and asked.
It's the same person. We actually have consent, he was the one that asked us to do this. He risked his life for this, knowing it might not even work as intended - not because "there was another man" in his body, but simply because it wasn't completely empty like in the other Scions' case. It wasn't another person though, it was just his past/present self. He didn't overwrite any of his present-self memories, he just added more to him. It was just him basically going back in time and getting another chance. I think if that was an issue, he would have considered it more than anyone and said something about it. Also, I personally think it's really mean to think like that...if by your logic, present-G'raha for some reason refused to accept his future-self memories (which I don't think he would), you'd basically be responsible for not only ignoring his direct request, but basically killing him. He wouldn't be able to go back to the first, and he would be stuck in the vessel forever, unable to live his dream to adventure with you. And it would be bad for the younger G'raha too: imagine living beside people that know of the amazing things you did during 100+ years, the city you've build, the people and timeline you saved and have absolutely no memory of it. That sounds painful and depressing... And I mean, it wasn't explicitly confirmed so as far as we know, he might be having this conversation inside his head before waking up. He could have rejected the vessel. Plus it would be...really awkward and difficult to explain to his present, sleeping self about everything that happened and let him make the decision with barely a fraction of the knowledge of what happened.
@@Lizard14 Do you realize that you both argued that we have consent because another version of him wants to live again in his younger body and also the younger self would be too confused to know what's going on to have a right to consent whether or not his mind and soul are combined with a future version of himself. Wut?! They aren't the same person. With the calamity averted, that G'raha would have lived a completely different life than the one on the First and if the WoL really shoved old G'raha in there without consulting present day G'raha then we removed his right to decide what kind of life he wanted to live. Also, why are we assuming that going into the Crystal Tower wouldn't immediately wake G'raha up? He's not literally asleep, he's in stasis. The Emperor was awake when we showed up.
I did not argue that he would be confused. I argued that would be awkward and difficult to explain. We don't even have all the context of what he's been gone through during his life, how could we summarize it quickly and pretend that's enough to justify your need for "consent", rather than honoring Exarch-G'raha's request - which you conveniently ignored along with more than half of my argument, by the way. Also, I will keep repeating he is the same person because he is the same person. Do you consider yourself to be a literal different person from when you were a child? Are you perhaps taking his speech in Ultima Thule too literally? You might FEEL like you're a different person from how you were before. Your body changes, your way of thinking and behaving changes, but it's all GROWTH. He didn't mean you weren't ACTUALLY the same person. It's the same person, but he went through a whole life and grew from it. And that's natural for everyone. As for going inside the tower and waking him up, it's also just an assumption. I could also assume the vessel would automatically activate being in close range to his body regardless of his current state, just as what happened to the Scions during the cutscene. @@MissKashira

THE EAR WIGGLES WHEN HE WAKES UP🥹😭
Always protect the G’raha ear wiggles!!

@@pumpkingamebox ikr, like did we essentially kill the version of G'raha that was in the tower? D:
THE TANGLED ANIMATION AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.
IM IN LOVE
That's what I was thinking.
My favorite Disney movie
@@Lizard14 SAME. THE TASTE
Holy shit. I just realized that after seeing this comment.
Aww, it's the scene I always wanted, and it's so well done!!!❤
I always wanted to see how we wake him up. Thank you for doing this💜
How you animate these intimate scenes makes me feel so warm and fuzzy. I love the way he buries his face into your WoL's shoulder!

The cutscene we deserved tbh ;-;

These animations are getting well too good for my heart to endure it
So beautifully made! Came here from another animation! That hug into a roll was wonderfully animated!
Finished my ShB replay last night and it always irked me that we don't see the reawakening. Bit of a cop out on SE's part. Thankfully we have you!
Thank you for giving us the scene that we all hoped for, you do beautiful work
I will never not be thirsty for G'raha
same
AauuauauauuAAUUOOUUUGGHHHHH MY HEEAAARRRRTT you animate SO beautifully, I love the subtle movements that make them feel natural and have weight. Amazing job as always 🥺💕
This has no right to be this adorable. How dare you send ninjas to chop onions at my house!
I love this so much. These videos make me happy to see - it's in my headcannon, too.
I remembered that cutscene differently, but I'll take this one!

Raha would just slump himself down like that too. Great vid!!!
Thank you so, so, so, so much for making this. Thank you. You're amazing.

literally, fan animations like this make me realize how shitty and lazy FFXIV cutscenes are

Wtf, these simp videos about graha, suddenly came out of my recommendations, this animation is phenomenal
Love these ❤🎉
Wait Flynn and rap unzel hello😲😲😲 the movement is the same
aw thats so cute
I remember watching the cutscene and thinking: "my femroe smooched the HELL out of him as soon has he waked up".
I do find it quite odd that we basically erased the G'raha from our time from existence. Kinda weird? Or did they kinda merge.
Not really, the G'raha of our time was sleeping and didn't have any memories past that point, so nothing was replaced. He just received all of the memories from him waking up on that other timeline onwards. His past memories are the same in both cases.
AWWWWW!!!!!
Bro sleeps on a metal floor sitting up? Get this poor cat a bed.
They just dumped his ass on the floor
Same hat!
lil raha
Was expecting an air horn. :D
I hope not. I hope we really didn't inject another man's soul into his body without his consent. I really hate that they skipped this scene because a lot of people believe we just shoved the Exarch in there without talking to G'raha about it first. In my head cannon, we woke him up and asked.
