I mean I went through Shadowbringers and the patches and thought that was the best game experience. Then the team said "hold my beer" and produced Endwalker.
Personally I loved ShB more, but if i were to rate these two on a scale of 1-10, EW is 9.9, and ShB is 10. It so damm close to how great both were, but funny enough Elpis made me love ShB more, cause of Emet-Selch.
Zenos: - I ate the Mothercrystal and came here. WOL: - But aether doesn't nothing here. Zenos: - Dude I'm edging since Stormblood, this ain't no aether.
Zenos is literally the most stubborn man in the universe. This dude turned himself into a dragon, flew across the entire universe, and headbutted through a dimensional wall just because he wants to 1v1 you.
to contextualize: This man comes back from the dead, wrings his body back from an ancient powerful being, jumpstarts the end of the world and is so bored he takes a ship to the enemy base, makes a deal, eats up half of a thousand year old crystal at the heart of the world to turn himself into a desperate madmans summoned alien avatar of destruction to fly across the expanse of the universe to its end into contextual space that doesnt really exist just to ask you if you can kill him as he needs burn down the candle of his life as this is the only pleasure he ever knew and can share in his life.
At the edge of the universe. Fighting the literal manifestation of hopelessness and despair on the back of your arch rival who turned into a dragon. Yup seems par for the course. That's as Final Fantasy a final battle can get.
Hell, i would even go as far as say that this goes all the way around to turning into a shin megami tensei final boss, cuz i seriously struggle to remember any ff final boss pre ffxiii that had this much... Stuff... Going for them lol
Here is an interesting fact: Dynamis is stated to be the greater of the two forms of energy, making up 68.3% of the total in the universe (aether making up the rest). Dynamis is also stated to only weakly interact with the physical world, except when there are huge amounts. This is a reference to dark energy in real life (which is also stated to make up 68.3% of all energy in the universe). This is a neat little Genius Bonus thing they put in the game. The phenomenon they talk about using dynamis to accelerate is (in real life) the heat death of the universe, which in real life is caused by dark energy.
The best part is that the music at the last bit has a part of 'The makers ruin' in it. That's the theme for the WoL throughout the game. It flipped from the boss theme music to OUR theme music playing in the fight...
when she does the double big attack and the scions prayers reach and buff us, the fight is pretty much done. i mean the entire rest of the fight is just dodging very basic aoes and dealing damage. it's a victory lap designed to pump you up and make you feel like a universe-saving badass. because at this point, you are exactly that
She gets a stacking damage increase buff every time she does the wing swipe attack. Technically speaking if DPS is just too slow you could, feasibly, fail at that point because she just does too much damage.
That happens in several fights. Once the enemy expends their big attack they dont have anything left. Like Thordan in heavensward, after his big attack he just starts swinging his sword wildly. Its great.
When you started ranting about Zenos being a stalker, I busted out laughing. He is SUCH a creepy stalker ex-boyfriend who just will NOT leave you alone!
"Wait.. she's reverse timing that??? Wait.. we dont have the LB.... Wait... im sorry about everything i just said!" :D :D :D :D Did you catch how she mentions "Dynamis?" when the Tank uses the LB?.... clever little way the Dev's used to "Lore-explain how the Limit-break exists... its us making use of Dynamis, without ever knowing what it was we were useing. :) *quick edit* Also... much like the boat-ride to Sharlyian.... the "Light the Way!" part is a homage to 1.0..... the Scions are in the same positions they were during 1.0's Meteor fall when Elf-dad was trying to re-bind Bahamut.
That part where Zenos breaks in got me 3 different times. When he first breaks in, I didn't get a good look and I thought it was Midgardsormr showing up to help out in our time of greatest need. Then I seen it was Shinryu, and I didnt piece together that it was Zenos. What a fantastic expansion
I know this is an old video but you're a real one for that reaction at 23:25. The tingles from that moment were phenomenal. I wish I could forget the trial just to experience that again
Lol bro as one black dude with a beard who did this fight while wearing a durag to another i wholesomely appreciate your reaction LOL i felt that on a spiritual level when you looked up when you saw the scions praying... i know that feeling LOL
I have an unnatural tendency to die right before bosses do too. It's always hilarious to then go back and have cut scenes treat you like you killed the boss single-handedly when you didn't even survive.
I remember doing this the first time and everyone in chat was going crazy. Was such an fucking awesome fight to end the story arc that started in ARR. First time thoughts and prayers actually did anything lmao.
How many identical sisters did Meteion have? We are never given a number. Other than in Elpis where someone says they saw a lot of them taking off into the sky, one after the other. It looks like there were, at minimum, dozens. If not close to 100. One question I have...how many of them were required to manipulate enough dynamis to cause the final days?
Like wtf Hermes was crazy to jsut bypass every rule and not just make her, but like, 1000 of those and sent em out, giving them a stupid task as well and not teaching them ANYTHING of value first... that men destroyed like half the universe...
@@BL33NB There was nothing wrong with his ORIGINAL intentions. He sent them out to get information about what gives life meaning to other lifeforms on other worlds. Nothing wrong with that. But they weren't mature enough to be able to handle seeing nothing but death. Hermes didn't actually become evil until he decided he agreed with them, that life deserved to be destroyed, sent Meteion to join them to finish destroying the universe, and mind wiped himself and everyone else. He is responsible, but his original intentions are sympathetic, it was just curiosity.
@@BL33NB Yes, at first he was just naive. But the decision he made when he decided to send Meteion to her sisters and have them destroy the universe was outright evil.
![What makes Ultimate, Savage, Extreme different? [FFXIV High End Raiding]](/img/n.gif)
Yup ....this story for sure surpassed Shadowbringers for me.
talk about it!!!!!
True

Same here it was so good
Zenos: - I ate the Mothercrystal and came here.
WOL: - But aether doesn't nothing here.
Zenos: - Dude I'm edging since Stormblood, this ain't no aether.
He has been done that for years.
Tbf why do you think he's just the platform for the fight?
@@Blitzwaffen That was his secret fetish the whole time; he just wanted the WoL to step on him.
Zenos is literally the most stubborn man in the universe. This dude turned himself into a dragon, flew across the entire universe, and headbutted through a dimensional wall just because he wants to 1v1 you.
My mans literally been having that content drought his whole life till we came along.
Ah, the classic RPG staple of "If I help you finish your chores, will you give me what I want?"
That man was DESPERATE for the runback.

that man really is a commited PvPer
"I'm on top of Zenos at the end of everything fighting ultimate darkness."
You are playing a Final Fantasy game, yes.
Zenos: "You left me on 'READ' for this???"
🤣
"If that was the last fight, that is a perfect way to go out."
Zenos peeking around the corner:
3:24 "Bitch, who are you to keep speaking?"
Bruh, she's tossing planets at you like Frisbees. She passes the qualification
Lol that's cool and all but In reality she still just a blue pigeon on the inside lol
@@SkyFF14 multiple pigeons! It's her and her sisters
At the edge of the universe.
Fighting the literal manifestation of hopelessness and despair on the back of your arch rival who turned into a dragon.
Yup seems par for the course.

"we just got these people back" - why sending them back to the ship is my favorite WoL moment in pretty much the whole game
Alisae: "Don't you dare!"
WoL: "Sorry guys, I love you all too much."
WoL: Remember the banquet, where you all stayed behind to fight while I escaped? My turn.
@@steakdriven basically!
Start of battle
WoL: i hear boss music
end of battle
Endsinger: WHY do I hear boss music?
This fight is the worst and unfair because how the fuck am I supposed to do my combos when I'm crying, Yoshi-P?! How!?
Zenos EARNED his fight, he earned every hit of that beating.
"Can this pigeon leave me alone?" Perfect summary of the second half of Endwalker XD

Thanks for this tidbit!
"I can't even play correctly" - Literally everyone when 'song of hope' starts.
The look on your face when Shinryu opened his mouth and you heard Zenos...lmao I feel you
Second phase wasn’t even a boss fight, anymore. It was a victory lap.
Phase 1: you hear boss music
Phase 2: SHE hears boss music
Can't wait to see what they do for minstrel's ballad
"But why does it still live?"
"It's been monologuing"
*sees cutscene and music change* "This is the best game ever."
Me: Amen.
The best part is that the music at the last bit has a part of 'The makers ruin' in it. That's the theme for the WoL throughout the game.
It flipped from the boss theme music to OUR theme music playing in the fight...
I never thought the day would come for the Final Boss to be an actual Yoshitaka Amano illustration brought to life.
when she does the double big attack and the scions prayers reach and buff us, the fight is pretty much done. i mean the entire rest of the fight is just dodging very basic aoes and dealing damage. it's a victory lap designed to pump you up and make you feel like a universe-saving badass. because at this point, you are exactly that
I like how that in that moment OUR boss theme starts to play (Maker's Ruin).
She made us hit OUR ENRAGE Timer~
@@MidnightFae375 yooooo thats an awesome way to view it
She gets a stacking damage increase buff every time she does the wing swipe attack. Technically speaking if DPS is just too slow you could, feasibly, fail at that point because she just does too much damage.
That happens in several fights. Once the enemy expends their big attack they dont have anything left. Like Thordan in heavensward, after his big attack he just starts swinging his sword wildly. Its great.
That is what I call killing 3,000 birds with one stone.
When you started ranting about Zenos being a stalker, I busted out laughing. He is SUCH a creepy stalker ex-boyfriend who just will NOT leave you alone!
Your eyes rolling @ Zenos really killed me 😂 loved your reaction!
I love how to started out with "leave me alone" but completely 180'd by the time the fighting ACTUALLY started
"Wait.. she's reverse timing that??? Wait.. we dont have the LB.... Wait... im sorry about everything i just said!" :D :D :D :D
Did you catch how she mentions "Dynamis?" when the Tank uses the LB?.... clever little way the Dev's used to "Lore-explain how the Limit-break exists... its us making use of Dynamis, without ever knowing what it was we were useing. :)
*quick edit*
Also... much like the boat-ride to Sharlyian.... the "Light the Way!" part is a homage to 1.0..... the Scions are in the same positions they were during 1.0's Meteor fall when Elf-dad was trying to re-bind Bahamut.
That part where Zenos breaks in got me 3 different times. When he first breaks in, I didn't get a good look and I thought it was Midgardsormr showing up to help out in our time of greatest need. Then I seen it was Shinryu, and I didnt piece together that it was Zenos. What a fantastic expansion
Lmao that 1% death off the edge. Perfect
The end song was meant to you
it was meant for Every Warriors Of Light
The way the music changes it’s like your boss theme starts playing
You know the WoL about to throw some hands when any variation of the Maker's Ruin starts playing.
Oh Warrior of Light, I Salute You !
Btw, your character is SICK !
Thank you I appreciate it 🙏🏿
I know this is an old video but you're a real one for that reaction at 23:25. The tingles from that moment were phenomenal. I wish I could forget the trial just to experience that again
Zenos: ride me to victory!!
WoL: phrasing!
WoL : "Stay Safe."
**presses button, drops remote**
WoL : "I got this birdgirl.. come at me."
Zenos identifies ask combat sexual......
Like Hisoka?
Ever wonder why the song played when the 1.0 world got destroyed named “Answer”? The answer is already here Metione.
he can hold off a meteor but couldnt hold off a monster to protect a mother guarding her baby
Lol bro as one black dude with a beard who did this fight while wearing a durag to another i wholesomely appreciate your reaction LOL i felt that on a spiritual level when you looked up when you saw the scions praying... i know that feeling LOL
Zenos's entire meaning of life: "1v1 me bro".
I have an unnatural tendency to die right before bosses do too. It's always hilarious to then go back and have cut scenes treat you like you killed the boss single-handedly when you didn't even survive.
Lmao dude, yeeting yourself off the edge at the end of the fight was perfect!
WoL: At precisely what point did we lose control here? *lightning strike* CONTROL! That's IT!
I remember doing this the first time and everyone in chat was going crazy. Was such an fucking awesome fight to end the story arc that started in ARR. First time thoughts and prayers actually did anything lmao.
when zenos talk about satisfaction stuff, i automaticly said "no homo" xD
so just a hint. you can dps lb3 that little boss thing, when it dies, you get another lb3 that the tanks use
1:02, 7:53 These reacts never gets old.
your accident at the end kills me xD
Loved this reaction man very entertaining!
Trying to use Bloodbath against the 2nd oblivion made me laugh.
Yooo that's the exact same face I made when Zenos showed up outta nowhere
Brooo we got the same Ninja glam. My ninja!
Ayyeee
"Bitch, who are you to keep speaking?"
stop dude you cant make me laugh this hard at 3-ish mins when the video is 27 mins, this isn't fair
I cry everytime the female vocals kick in...........
Lol “can this pidgin leave me alone?” 😂😂😂
Zenos: "This is your prey? Why ain't it dead? Are you the Warrior of Light or the Bitch of Light?"
Zenos always had complete confidence in the WoL.
She's not a pigeon, she's a black starbird which is otherwise known...as a larbird :p
Perfect ending
😅
Can this pigeon leave me alone? I died...haha
Dude really flew throw the whole Universe just to get his salty rematch

Lol, that came out of nowhere.... Good laugh.
Honestly... Zenos is relationship goals...
only at world's end does the warrior of light gets an enrage phase
Lets all be honest we were happy when Zenos appeared :D
Lol no
XD Have you tried leaving me alone.... I'm dead.
7:30
Have you tried.........anti depressants?
I need this as EXT ASAP
GO HIGHER!!!!!
that summoner was dying over and over again, does anyone have a count on how many times they were on the floor?
I feel like there's always "that guy" in every party.
CONTROLLER NATION RISE UP
💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
final fight is pretty easy tbh once you see the patern the first time for me the planets got me every time lol
ゼノスだと知った時の表情www
Wish wow was half that good
Never felt that way with WoW... your character feels more like a spectator rather than an actor...
Zenos, your worst pyscho ex incarnate
Zenos called the end of of the universe a distraction and a bithch the Supreme Alpha
مدهش, القتال كان رائع جدا.
LOOOL this is pure jokes!!
Hahahha even with a lb3 tank every hp goes to 5% xD
Zenos is like herpes 😁😁
meteion did nothing wrong
