I seriously love the fact that life is created as a side effect of the light
Says the senator lol
Nanomachines, perhaps
@@kokorochacarero8003they create life in response to physical trauma
@@ashgiogaming11 the life will be born beneath the blood stained SAAAAAAAND
Basically tumors
1:56 The male choir singing the Witness theme is so bone chilling
YES. Big Sith vibes, and I'm here for it.
@@leonidasoneoneseven I hope we get more of it in Final Shape
I have to say ... more questions than answer in this campain. Big fan of the lore, and we didn't get any explaination about the Veil. Felt like a rushed campain.
More like a season
@@zakurn1086 fr, i feel like the seraph finale had more story implications than this whole campaign
@@CsInFour yup
After that entire campaign, basically everything we got was the second part to this same cinematic that was divided in two for no good reason, complete filler
@@onebraincell-q9f Glad more people are realizing this.
Witness really was just like “thanks for opening the door for me”
It honestly felt less like an attack and more like an invitation.
@@eye-chan1711 Yeah, and that's weird given that now we know that Traveller and The Witness definitely don't have the same goals.
So apparently Lightfall’s story was HALF of what The Final Shape’s story was supposed to be. I feel like they tried to make this DLC feel like Infinity War, but it didn’t hit as hard.
If this is the case then it was a mistake slicing it in half.
the rest is in cash grab season pass which is a shame.
It would've been one DLC if they didn't have to revamp the Light subclasses.
I feel like we were suppose to get Strand in WQ, the Light 3.0 here. But then they changed it all. Part of me thinks it was so they can get a release in 2024 for Destiny 10 years anniversary
Witness walks in, Calus leaves, we follow Calus, spend 90% of the campaign doing beyond light but green, we stop Calus, the witness wins
What about that isn’t satisfying
The best part of the whole campaign
Notice the OG fireteam from D1 died.
@joaquin5796Even Season of Defiance is filler. They resurrect Amanda just to kill her off again.
@nottyler6776 That's not them, one of them is Reed-7, a titan(?) from the Trials lore
@@nottyler6776sorry to tell u they didn’t die they survived they were on earth fighting the cabal
@@Littlesilver5109 no legit the fireteam flying with Amanda, the witness kills off in that cutscene lol.
Such an insane opening to a campaign. Seeing The Witness effortlessly dispatch those ally ships by slicing them up was absolutely terrifying
Nah, it wasn't, it will not repeat itself again, this power won't be used to threaten anything import, just a scene to make it look cool and that's it.
@@zakurn1086 still cool
@@zakurn1086 Nice, are you a Bungie Dev? Or why do you know that already?
@@zakurn1086 ok
@@SmilingHeroe they made it up lol
1:43 not many people know this, and Ik I’m late as hell for this but the titan that got sliced up like that was actually REED-7. Some people might recognize him from his linear called Reed’s regret. He was the exo titan from Shayura’s fireteam, Evaze did a nice breakdown of her story recently and I highly recommend it for any lore junkies out there.
Such an amazing opening that leads to nowhere
Ironic, after Seraph season that also led to nowhere.
@@Dat_Jonxled to here which led to nowhere. I thought the story was the one thing they couldn’t screw up. Huge disappointment. Strand is fun tho
@@dorkaholic_ poo cooldown. gotta lessen the cooldown to like 30 seconds maybe 50 seconds at least... for grapple
@@objectedwinter the first thing they need to do is make the grapple replace the melee, the melee is just straight garbage.
@@dorkaholic_ I mean I've spent whole season to rebuild Rasputin, just for him to die again with no visible impact.
The best and only part of the campaign that deserves the name "Lightfall".
Also the first mission
Damn is it really bad? I was planning to get it today😕, this opening looked so hype
@@godslastgift1007 Yeah its pretty just okay. This is the only major thing that happens. The rest is strand and unexplained side missions.
@@godslastgift1007 It's really not that bad. If you like high action sci-fi shooter fun, with a focus on a new locaton and new characters, then I recommend it. If you're expecting something other than an action hero story like they advertised (and pacing is a bit too fast, needed 1 more mission imo), then the post campaign stuff will likely be your style. Overall I rate the campaign 7 or 8/10, better than Beyond Light, not as good as TWQ. Gameplay is top tier tho
@@godslastgift1007 Bungie really fumbled with the expansion. This is the first time I’ve really regretted an expansion purchase.
Major Halo 5 vibes on account of what we were advertised vs what we got.
Not even CLOSE to the level of halo 5 but kinda
@@eranronen573 honestly I think even more so than Halo 5 maybe. Because Halo 5s version of this would have had the burden of introducing the witness and SOME motivations even
The story should focused exactly more on this Battle than the entire Neomuna Strand Arc. Battles on and above Earth would be amazing like a huge Pyramid attack on the Last City, where we fight together with the Vanguard and all characters frim previous seasons. The character development of Crow, Zavala, Caiatl in the Season of the Haunted could be connected with that and aren't ignored like we have now. I mean what did the Vanguard even do in Lightfall? The looked two hours through the windows of the HELM
Yeah, this is something I've always despised about Destiny: the coolest moments for story tend to be in cutscenes or completely out of gameplay. It's like watching a movie you have to walk to every scene for
I mean the season is about that
@@Okino569it’s not really so far. It’s mainly about freeing captives and potentially figuring out what the witness wants with them.
The opening of the Red War was amazing for this reason. Honestly, whoever said 'Red War felt more like Lightfall than Lightfall did' was right. Actually fighting alongside Zavala and other players against the Cabal in the old Tower square and getting behind Zavala's Ward of Dawn to defend against incoming artillery was pretty cool in hindsight. They should do that more often to make you feel like you're interacting directly with other characters more often, kinda like how it felt having Noble Team fighting alongside you in Reach
In the trailers where you see our guardian hitching a ride on a cabal ship through warp travel, I initially thought it would be at a rush-back-home-point in the story. Instead, it was us pursuing Osiris after this cutscene. Now that isn't bad or anything, but getting some action on Neomuna, making allies, discovering something critical, and then rushing back home would have made for a much better narrative. Kind of like Infinity War which many people thought this would be similar to, the characters should be running around with their hair on fire... instead of having an 80s training montage with the subclass which is only a little bit more popular right now.
Unrelated note, if they wanted to make training strand a big point in the story, then there should have been a reason we particularly needed strand. The actual only thing you are unable to do without strand in the campaign is destroy those jamming machines. All other obstacles are passable otherwise. And i don't just mean in-game. The narrative never explained why we particularly need Strand. It said we needed it, but the attitude was because it was funky and new. It was the ace up our sleeve, but nothing defined it as an ace. I was personally coked up on my hunter arc melee stacks, and I bet narratively that my melees with a tractor cannon and one-two punch proc would serve better than the psychic connections and advantages of strand. Idc if he's near-godly, nothing in the story built Strand up to be more than green strings. It's a great subclass, and it was better-balanced than Stasis at release, but it was also only as critical to Lightfall's story as Stasis was to Beyond Light.
This opening gave me so much hope for the campaign, a shame the rest didn't live up to it 😢
That’s how they get you, easy sales tactic in the world of business.
I couldn't agree more
Loving the Final Shape trailer too.
@@BungieStudios there isn’t a trailer yet
@@zacharyvinson6916 this was supposed to be the opening to final shape. The portal was supposed to be included as well
0:54 I freaking love it when the chorus plays when the Traveler uses it's power
That male choir moment will live rent free in my head
wait till you hear the raid soundtrack then
Which Song Is It?
Honestly this felt way too rushed, we could have seen an epic space battle. Instead we basically saw this entire scene in the trailers.
according to the new trials ship lore, Valiant Memory, the titan that got french fried is Reed-7, yknow, Reeds Regret
The visual of the witness cleanly slicing the guardians ships and ghosts goes so hard. There’s something so terrifying about the idea of an entity so powerful it can cut anything into perfect, evenly sliced pieces with the flick of a wrist.
if only the rest of the story was as good as this cutscene
Seeing the Witness just go into the beam of light like it's nothing is insanely satisfying.
you had me at honestly
They made it seem as if we were going to be fighting in this very scene, right at home. And no, I'm not talking about Season of Defiance ( season 20). Even then, Season 20 is taking place on EDZ. I was expecting to fight in orbit and in the city, on top of what we're doing at Neomuna.
This was a good opening to the campaign but rip those guardians that got turned into shreds
These guardians were original guardian fireteam from Destiny 1
@@shatterpoint23 R.I.P. my brothers and sisters in Light.
Anyways can I have their armor?
@@shatterpoint23 oh damn, really OK I’m going to double tap the witness for them
No they were not, and I don't understand why you clowns keep spouting that. Bungie literally refuted this.@@shatterpoint23
If you frame the video at 0.2x and at 2:42 appears to be the veil and the tangles below, forming a body, thats something
Not gonna lie i was expecting a lot more from this space battle. Where is Caitls fleet, Maras fleet, also doesn’t spider have a few ketches? Compared to the space battle Maras fleet vs oryxs fleet. That space battle was incredible, i was expecting the same amount of action here. Since the witness has come to finish what it started oh so long ago.
There was a total of 6 friendly ships in this cutscene, Amanda's Hawk, 3 Arcadia Class ships and 2 more that got blown up by the piramids, so you have the entire Calus and Piramid fleet vs a handfull of guardian ships, amazing effort by Bungie like allways
For real though. Like where is our allies this is hardly a “resistance” against the witness.
i don’t think they were together yet. i think they finally assembled all of them after the massive L the vanguard took in this cutscene
Here after reading some of the new lore from Season of the Deep. The Valiant Memory ship (the Trials one) gives more context to the Guardian and Ghost who get sliced apart by The Witness. The Guardian was Reed-7.
Truly one of the campaigns of all time.
Last time the Traveler came into contact with the darkness: gravitational anomalies, tears in the fabric of space time, wormhole to a new dimension that give rise to the awoken
This time the Traveler comes into contact with the darkness:
literally nothing
@@tortino56 keep in mind,the witness is probably barely taking this seriously because hes that strong tbh
The Traveller pretty much has barley anything left. It took everything it has and Savathuns help to stop the first collapse.
I have no issues with the events of Lightfall. I have issues with the execution of Lightfall.
Don't ask a man his wage
Don't ask a woman her age
Don't ask bungie what the veil is
Don’t ask a man his wage
Don’t ask a women her age
Don’t ask Bungie to make a semi decent campaign
I can not believe I paid $100 bucks for this...
ask for refund got mine today
@mike taylor no you didn't u can't refund
@@Light79677 dude straight up asked for it on Xbox. Got it approved same day refund 2 days later. They allow 14 days to do so and when given the reason which was promised certain content and didn't deliver got it back. No B.S.
According to the Season 21 Trials ship, Valiant Memory's lore tab, those three guardians that were sliced by the Witness were Reed-7, Aisha and Shayura. The same guardians all those trials weapons are named after.
if the contents would just slightly match the quality of the opening, the extension would be worth buying. But I regret the money I paid for this, severely.
As someone who has been playing Destiny since year one D1, I was confused af by this campaign. Gameplay was awesome, story was mid and confusing
Wish the rest of the campaign held this same tone.
SPOILERS:
A little disappointed. It’s called lightfall but the campaign just ends after we kill Calus and us players are just left there to not know if the light is falling or not.
I hope there will be more in the raid and dungeons.
Is it just me or does what happens to calus at the end is a bit disappointing too ? Like he’s been a mysterious enemy and been hyped for a long time but just dying like that seems disappointing
@@abdullahfaisal1653 If it were me, I would have made Calus have two boss phases where the he turns into a being infused with darkness by the Witness in his second phase (Similar to Rhulk). I just hate how he's treated like a regular boss with 3 damage phases lol. But we wouldn't kill him, just weaken him, then have Caital deliver the final blow. A Cabal death.
@@abdullahfaisal1653 this is one of the worst writing in destiny 2. All this hype around Calus for being a banal strike boss lmao
@@abdullahfaisal1653 Well his mystery was revealed before lightfall, what is left is just to face him with his new powered form
Pls save yourself the time and money and DON'T buy this DLC unless it's on sale. The campaign was a 4-5 hour MESS and strand in its current state is not worth using over any other subclass.
Can someone help me find the music/soundtrack in this cutscene? The one with the menacing choir in particular is what I'm looking for; it plays when the Witness destroys those starships while approaching the Traveler.
This cutscene was split in half. One part at the beginning, the other at the end. The ENTIRE CAMPAIGN was learning Strand.
If you haven't bought Lightfall yet, wait for a sale or just don't. Big disappointment, 0 payoff, all filler.
Strand, stasis was beyond light. But I get your point.
@@SapphireTempestCandleOfStories fixed :D
@@UNSKIALzPSN Now it's perfect.
Now watch as I rewrite this story as we speak!
Anyone know the track at 2:50? The strings sound so good here but I can't find the OST name.
The track Disciple
Discipline
Man imagine if Lightfall was all about this war in space and we learned about the Witness, fought Calus, etc. No Neumuna but they could’ve always introduced that after Final Shape
I was not expecting it to just jump into the action like that
the witness was so cool here! A real badass
Awesome time we dint have an amazing opening cutscene since the taken king!
What is the veil?
Neomuna is complete devoid of any life honestly this whole dlc feels like nothing eventful happens it feels like interlude to the thing that is supposed to be happening its like a chase to an abrupt end and even though the campaign was lengthy for me it felt like we really accomplished nothing i mean if we are supposed to lose this part how did the end feel so emotionless most of the characters to respond to the ending are like yeah cant be helped this is supposed to be a vital part of the overall story and now we have to wait another year for a conclusion ? and what about strand its like after the campaign its an entirely useless subclass the cooldowns are to long some of the other classes supers are reused you can tug on the strings of life and make anything in your wildest dreams you chose blades for hands and floating green orbs ? where's the miniguns or artillery bombardments could you not think of anything new?
Lightfall is just a filler to introduce strand since they didn’t have the dev resources to have it in the witch queen. The original lightfall campaign is what we will probably get in the final shape.
@@TeamGrimm07 kinda sad we all paid 50+ dollars for an introduction to strand
I mean, I'm enjoying it. Love Neomuna and the soundtrack is the best I've heard since DSC.
Does any body actually think any of the patrol zones are lively? They're all pretty desolate
@@cameronmeyer8192 yeah even when it comes to enemies the spawn timing is way off and the density of enemy spawning through the whole map is laughable
Really underwhelming as a whole, more questions unanswered than answered.
That said still decent, just maybe not worth $50
Here we are...three months later and three days away from Season of the Deep...and I'm watching this cutscene again.
I was so excited for Lightfall. I've been playing Destiny since 2015 with my two friends, and I love the story and characters. I know some people can take or leave the story, but I personally have enjoyed it having always been a fan of Light vs Dark stories. I really love the Traveler as a character, being such a mysterious entity with a long background. I was so excited to learn more about the Traveler in Lightfall. I was excited to learn about the Veil and what it has to do with the Traveler. I was excited to see the Traveler finally fight.
It's no surprise that all of the marketing from Lightfall pretty much exclusively used footage from this cutscene: It is EASILY the best part of the entire DLC. Everything that comes after it is filler with no answers. Nothing about the Traveler. Nothing about the Witness. We didn't even learn anything about the Veil, the thing we went to Neptune to protect. Lightfall just felt like it was a big filler to set up later stuff. Season of the Defiance...I get what they were trying to do. They were trying to show humanity and its allies band together. Our skies are full of friends in the Traveler's absence. I get it, and it could have worked. But after getting nothing from Lightfall, Season of Defiance just felt hollow and equally disappointing since it really didn't advance the story much either.
For me...Lightfall is the worst Destiny DLC just from sheer disappointment. Even Curse of Osiris was better for me, and I found that DLC boring. Most other DLCs I didn't really have much expectations for. I just kinda went along with whatever. I was playing with my friends and we were having a good time at the end of the day. Witch Queen was really cool and raised a lot of mysteries in the story. Mysterious I had hoped Lightfall would either answer or at least give hints. But...nope.
The Light and Dark saga is nearly over and, for better or worse, I will more than likely hang around to see it through. I am genuinely excited for Season of the Deep, though not nearly as hyped as I was for Lightfall and I genuinely hope all the seasons up to The Final Shape are great. At this point...they NEED to be. But after all is said and done, I'm done with Destiny and Bungie.
People got hyped up real hard and it didn't exactly live up to that Hype so they start hating. Its pretty good but not as good as WQ and thats fine 7/10 overall
In term of lore it suck hard, we learn nothing and these only 4 real mission the other take place in lost sector or a very short and strand focus, the campaign is fun but so heart breaking for the lore, so bad, a Beyond Light 2.0 and after the quality and the success and the amout of money they got with Witch Queen it's just unbelivable....
It was supposed to be the biggest bad and quoting the devs "the end of the light and dark saga" the entire WQ campaign hyped this up, you simply cannot justify mediocrity with Hype let down. The campaign is halfbaked feels as if most of the cinematics are missing or themselves incomplete there is no lore and the writing is simply bad, none of this issues were in WQ or even shadowkeep that too many players hate, but then goals were clear, there was worldbuilding and consistant writing. Lightfall is just good gameplay and that is super hollow since D2 is already a very polished game
@@lordmorgoth7 "the end of the Light and Dark Saga" is The Final Shape. Lightfall is basically the Setup for Final Shape. Think you misunderstood something Buddy
I'm just looking at this to confirm how Amanda originally died/disappeared, and my god, you can see how the Witness begins finger cutting into the Traveler before it cuts to a whole different hand position that leads to the Veil. XD
bungie i love you so much and i love lightfall so much but seeing how so many people feel about it breaks my heart i just know you guys can do so much better. im sure itll all pay off throughout the year and hopefully in the final shape, but i wish this was just as big and amazing as the witch queen
Well said man, I feel the same way.
Feel the same way.
I paid way too much for almost 10 years of this game for this. Also I get a big 6 on my head just like everyone else. Thanks Bungie.
Honestly I'm not even into Destiny's story and world that much (mostly thanks to its mediocre means of conveying that story,) but as an on-and-off player since 2014 I still got chills watching the Traveller FIGHT BACK in full with devastating power only to be countered, that was something else.
shame the rest of the Campaign's actually even WORSE than Destiny's usual so-so storytelling.
Amazing gameplay and cutscenes, but I do wish it had more explained, but for the most part was fantastic 👍
Rip og guardians
If anyone wonders if they should buy the dlc to see the rest, this is the rest, you could link the first and last cutscene together while ignoring the rest of the campaign and you would be as informed as those that did the campaign
So the 3 gaurdians that were sliced up when they tried to get close to the Witness, yeah, those were the 3 original ones from the Destiny 1 cutscenes, we also saw 2 of them at the end of Season of Seraph. They're dead now.
took me 8 years to realize that the issue has always been me for falling for this obvious scam of a game.
The Witness is so powerful !
Oh hell it took me till now to realize that the Titan watching his ghost get diced suffers the same fate.
Cool cutscene. Unfortunately, the campaign story was basically entirely unrelated to this lmao
Yeah, it was already mentioned that LightFall was focused on Calus during Bungie's vidocs.
If we knew what the Veil was and why the Witness sent Calus to get it, maybe we could have connected the dots.
@@kassaken6521 right????
@@shatterpoint23 okay i knew that asshat im just saying even that felt detached from the witness and half the campaign wasn't even calus related
@@cqrson8079 okay dumbass
A slightly different comment of appreciation: Can we take a moment to digest how rich in emotion are the Pilot 1's voice lines? A sentence so simple as "I'm hit!" bursts equally in emotion of despair and panic. Absolutely stunning work for conveying the chaos from a not-so-credited voice actor!
I only juste realised after seing it again that when thé witness cut the ghost, when thé guardian watch it flotting apart, his head is dividing too.
2:38 I absolutely LOVE how it plays the Lightfall motif when the Witness touches the Traveler!!!
This Campaign had so much potential 😭😭
I got chills when the witness told callus that they must obtain the Destiny 2 Lightfall
That sound design !!
Guys the whole radial mast and calus thing is just dirt in the eye for guardians, it was all witness plan for guardian and his ghost to find the veil for witness to be able to open that portal.
Beyond Light 2.0
So they won't upload soundtracks on this channel anymore!
I can't figure out if the marketing department deserves praise or a lawsuit for making such awful content appear awesome
don't you mean final cinematic??
“Dismantle”
- The Witness (probably)
1:50 bro thinks he's adam warlock 💀
Bungie should start posting all campaign cinematics for historical purposes near the end of the expansion year.
unironically one of the worst dlc's ive played
this mission had so much potential to the expansion, the ending, everything.
When is the soundtrack going to be available to listen to? Just wondering because the Beyond Light OST released the day before launch, and The Witch Queen OST IIRC released on launch day.
The whole LightFall album is avaliable on Spotify from days now. And Sony uploaded the full album to listen to on TH-cam yesterday (8 hrs before LightFall launch).
I re-wrote the story:
The opening
Everyone is recovering from the events of the last season, and in the state of confusion, the guardian and vanguard gather in the helm as an urgent message from Mara Sov booms over the ship!
"Doom is upon us now! The forces of the black fleet and the hive of Xivo Arath have begun a forward march, and they are moving fast! I am slowing them with everything, but if nothing is done, the black fleet will be upon you in a matter of days!"
Everyone babbles back and forth at each other in panic! Zavala brings them to silence, and responds.
"Keep delaying them, we'll find something..."
"You don't understand!" Mara's voice is unusually panicked, "There is nothing to find, nothing new for you to use! All you can do is prepare for the Witness's arrival. At this point, nothing can stop it!"
Zavala presses his hands upon the war table, his face contorted in an expression of hard loss, and turns to face the dreary faces behind him.
Ikora is first to speak.
"What do we do?"
Zavala's voice is heavy, as if the weight of his words will decimate the crowd around him.
"We have no choice but to fight it. We have to prepare everything we have, every last ship in the hangers, every last body capable of wielding a weapon, even as meager as a little spoon. Everyone must be rallied, here and in orbit to meet the Black Fleet."
Lord Saladin shakes his head.
"The Witness will over power us. No matter how many troops we muster, the Witness alone is far too powerful to stop."
Saint 14 interjects.
"And without excessive knowledge on it's complicated plan, we cannot place our forces accordingly to prevent it from achieving what it desires."
Zavala elaborates.
"You're missing the point! We don't entirely know what it's up to, but we have to do something! We aren't given all the time in the world, we have to achieve a scramble of our troops to meet the Witness in time when it arrives!"
Zavala looks down at the floor, his point has been made.
"So all we can do...Is try our very best to fight it off, even if we die in the process.
Osiris busts into the room.
"Zavala! There is something we can do!"
Osiris strides to the holo table to meet Zavala's gaze, and then turns to everyone else.
"As you know, I have been a captive of the Witch Queen's mind for nigh over a year. Swallowed in her malicious thoughts and schemes as she used my body for her own purposes.
"At the time an enemy of the Witness, her thoughts and fears of many possibilities raced through her mind, and before my eyes.."
Ikora stares down her mentors gaze.
"What are you getting at Osiris?"
"Didn't Rasputin give you the files before he deleted himself?"
Ikora looks puzzled.
"No, what files?
Zavala raises his head.
"He gave them to me. I haven't shown them to anyone else yet.
Osiris nods his head.
"Good, then you atleast know that the Neptunian city from my visions is real. I obtained them from Savathun's memories, she was there!"
Ikora looks frantically into his eyes.
"How will this help us, Osiris?"
Osiris comes down to his conclusion, the excitement in his eyes exploding.
"Savathun had visited that city on many occasions, to check on something. Something of great importance to her, something so important that she would risk revisiting the city to make sure it was safe.
"And through months of study and research, I have found out what this object is. The Veil.
"The Veil is what Savathun used many thousands of years ago to protect the Traveler from the Witness, she used the Veil to pull the Traveler to a pocket realm, much like how she pulled the Traveler into her throne world. The Veil is the key to that pocket realm, and she hid it from the Witness....on Neptune."
Ikora looks into Zavala's face, and rejoices as she can see a plotting look crawl onto his face.
"What do you intend to do, Osiris?" Zavala's voice is curious.
"The Witness needs the Traveler alive, and it will need to get up close to it in order to achieve it's goal. If we can find the Veil, and use it according to Savathun's memories, we can hide it from the Witness in a place they can never touch it!
But that will mean we have to get to Neptune, more specifically I need to get to Neptune."
Ikora hesitates, even under the strain of the situation, she feels wrong about sending Osiris to Neptune.
"Osiris, are you sure you need to go?"
Osiris solemnly confirms.
"I am the only one who can find the Veil, and the only one who can navigate Neptune to find it."
Ikora presses further.
"But more importantly the only one who can use it! If we lose you on Neptune, whether we find the Veil or not won't matter because we won't know how to use it."
Osiris is silent for a moment, he can see behind Ikora's words, and why she protests that he stays.
"Ikora..."
Ikora doesn't want to listen, and looks down to the floor to hide her expression.
Osiris continues.
"Ikora, I know how this will turn out, and it pains me to put you in this kind of panic again. But it has to be done, the entire universe depends on my ability to find the Veil."
Ikora looks back to Osiris through tear strained eyes.
"If you go to Neptune, the Witness will send everything it can to stop you."
"And I will have to do everything in my power to survive."
"But, your powerless, Osiris."
"But I'm not."
The husky voice of the Guardian resonates from a long silent chest.
The Guardian approaches the War Table.
"Ikora is right, Osiris cannot go into that battle by himself. I will accompany him to Neptune, we will find the Veil, and bring it back to hide the Traveler before the Witness can enact it's plan."
All eyes are on the Guardian and Osiris.
Zavala breaks the silence triumphantly.
"It would seem then that our cause will not be a vain attempt to defend our walls again, but a calculated move to divert attention long enough for us to enact our own plan.
"Osiris and the Guardian will journey to Neptune to find the Veil, and we will prepare for the Witness's arrival here."
Zavala looks back to Osiris.
"When will you depart."
"We will depart immediately, this task cannot wait for preparation."
Zavala conforms.
"Take care, Osiris."
Osiris answers as he makes his way to the back of the Helm.
"I'll get my ship ready."
As the Guardian moves to accompany him, Ikora grabs hold of his arm.
"Guardian, don't let anything happen to Osiris. If he falls......Saint will be in horrible sorrow."
The Guardian smiles.
"I won't."
And he and Osiris leave for Neptune.
Meanwhile....
The presence of the Witness hovers throughout the space of the fleet, watching, listening, ever calculating.
Through the roots of Egregore connections, and the remnants of contact upon the Guardian's fingers, they gained the rumor of secrets long awaited.
Directing it's attention to it's newly risen Disciple, it projected it's directory thoughts.
"Disciple, follow them. The one called Osiris may know secrets the traitor witch left behind, secrets that may upend our goal. Capture Osiris, learn the secrets he contains."
The responsive thoughts of Calus boomed back in acceptance and query.
"Of course! My Witness. But what about the Guardian who accompanies him? He has a large history of conquests and you've even made contact with him yourself."
"He is of no use to us now, he may be discarded when you have Osiris in hand."
"Of course! My Witness."
When the presence of his master receded, Calus projected his mental orders throughout his ship.
"Loyal subjects of my great Shadow Legion! And my tenacious little guests! You know the objective, let us take this great vessel, and find the one who knows the witch's secrets. When we have the subjects of his thoughts, there will be no hope for them. The Witness will commune with the Traveler, and the final shape will be upon us! HA HA HA!!!"
With his laughter booming through the halls of Typhon Imperatus, the great vessel roared, and split through space, hunting those who would grant them their secrets.
To be continued..........
I certainly hope you read all of that, and I more so hope you enjoyed it.
There are certainly somethings that don't work, and certainly some things I need to fix, but there's the intro to this fan fiction version of Lightfall's story. And I'll hint thee ahead of time, the ending will be glorious!
Now the real question, should I keep posting here where EVERYBODY can see it? Or do you have any good fan fic sites I could post this to, because I'm still writing this out.
EDIT: I fixed the Witness dialogue, I think, now it's a little more.....understandable? IDK I forgot the word I was going to use.
Also, a question for you guys (And girls, whoever's reading this) do you think the Witness would describe the Phoenix as "The one called Osiris" or just Osiris? I honestly don't know if the Witness would just project enough thought for recognition, or if they would actually make a more specific mention of Osiris and point out more (Like they do in this chapter).
I missed a Saint 14 interaction with Osiris, but whatever, I'll fix that eventually!
I keep getting errors in editing this so I might have made it too long, I will look into this...
We’re gonna win , eyes up guardians
Guardians: Let’s go kill the Witne…..
Witness: **Your Cute But Get Destroyed**
I wish I could say that my $100 was as well-spent as it was in Witch Queen… sadly, it was not. This opening and Tormentors were probably the highlight.
I’m loving Lightfall so far. The only issue is just the stylistic choice for Cloud Striders. They look like they belong to the Final Fantasy world, not Destiny. I can’t explain it. But other than that very small personal and very subjective opinion it’s been great.
Can't wait for the final shape now
You can actually see the final shape opening cutscene if you finish the light fall campaign
Final Shape better be like 6 months from now and just be a season because this story is incomplete as it is (because final Shape is literally just the second half of Lightfall. They actually just went in and siphoned half of the content out.)
@@iamoctonate Final shape dlc is next year not 6 months.
@@thetraveler2224 hes being ironic
Beautiful intro, but I have no clue how we found ourselves in this predicament coming off the past 2 seasons.
This goes all the way back to the red war campaign.
I was so hyped for LightFall till now. But after reading the comments, it seems it's better to not buy LightFall for story content. I would rather wait for a sale on LightFall like how Witch Queen also went on sale last year.
Yeah, without spoiler the lore suck hard, it's fun to play but the story don't exist, it's exactly the same situation than Beyond Light, so if you don't like Beyond Light, take Lightfall in sold, 30 dollard not more...
since when did an Arcadia-Class jumpship have a cockpit like that @ 1:45?
Never, actually. It's a cinematic model, it's purpose is for story telling, not consistency.
In general a lot of inconsistencies are in this cutscene.
This cutscene and the first mission was really good, everything else was pretty meh. Don't understand how even after all this time, the vanguard doesn't help us fight. We literally do 99% of the heavy work by ourselves every campaign. Also the enemies were just cabal, the tormentors were cool but they're just copy pasted as mini bosses. And don't even get me started on the final campaign boss, the arena was unbearable, considering you get pushed back 50 feet every 2 seconds. Also I think it was great that you got to use strand and upgrade it during the story, and that it was a significant part of the story, but I felt like there was a little too much of the sections where you need to use strand, it was just teasing you at that point, and you couldn't really make a strand build, so often times it just makes your build worse, which can be an issue on legendary.
I think Strand have nothing to do in a Campaign, they could have put it in a post campaign quest but here Strand is what destroy the whole story.
@@Bracus.Reghusk Yeah they should put Strand into a Season after Lightfall and focused more on this Space Battle and the Witness. Maybe some missions on Neptune, to get the Veil ( whatever this thing is) and the rest of the story should play on and above Earth. Like an pyramid attack on the Last City and a Counter Attack against the Pyramid Fleet, where we fight with the Vanguard and AI Guardians together
Do you not understand the vanguard are commanders they lead us into battle so they are helping 💀
2 questions. Why are the doorpassages so low on Neptunus. And does space have gravity. ?? Really annoying

|| I glide through space as if through water, tugged in nine directions by nine impulses. ||
Here is how I feel. I feel like I got served a burger (Gameplay) with no seasoning or sauce (Story/Narrative). Not garbage, just Bland and mediocre. Cool gameplay, but a mediocre narrative that leaves me clueless on whats going on at the end, and not really care for any new characters, really takes the RP out of RPG for me. Imagine a back story of Neomuna and its people, what happened to them after the 1st collapse, how the cloud strider came to be? What is the Veil? Hey look, green stuff that we can touch 😂. At least in Beyond light, we interacted with the darkness itself to build up to stasis, but at this point, aquiring a new sub class should be an exclusive side quest, similar to an exoctic quest line where you get full acess to it at the end, so you're not crowding up the main campaign, unless you're gonna do more than 8 missions.
Those Guardians that were sliced up was the Fire team that's been with us since 2014
They know how to make content look like it’s gonna be good but always ends up with unsatisfying endings in favour of dragging another plot thread out.
Also let us fly or dam ships like in halo reach.
While I like how ominous and powerful the Witness is, the opening battle for TTK was 10x better.
Now what happened is that we lost the war?
This cutscene was fire but the beginning with Zavala talking was pretty dull, especially that cringe line it opens it with
I’m about half way done and I am enjoying the vast majority of the Expansion so far and Nimbus… makes me miss Cayde even more.
*"yOu cANt sAY thAT, YoU aRE WhiTE"*
Hmm, did you just exclude me from a conversation based on my skin color? Sounds pretty bigoted and maybe even..
omg
*racist*
We can't have that when we are suppose to be an inclusive community now can we? So how about someone comes uo with an actual point to be made and doesn't resort to dismissing someone based on their race and sexual orientation. Because isn't that the whole point of this woke agenda in the first place
Now I understand how powerful the witness truly is.
What’s the song called at the beginning
i could have sworn there were eyes that popped up in this cutscene. like a womans eyes, which i thought were the traveler’s/the gardener
at 0:37 you can see another disciple, maybe thats nezarec? the dude has a scythe and 2 pronged head much like nez' sin
