Datto canonically experiencing the conclusion with Jez, his best friend, and Trv, his wife that his best friend introduced him to. The mission made me feel emotion but this is beautiful in its own special way too.
My favorite clip of this is the moment when they’re calling out all the races, and Zavala goes “Hive!” And it’s JUST SAVATHÜN sitting there like “hi guys!”
i noticed that too haha, that and the disrespect of putting her in with a couple of cabal in that shot - the people she helped destroy the homeworld of. lmaoo
I never saw any when I played the one time. No ammo, no Supers, mission totally sucked. The more I watch this the more I realize none of this ever happened in my play through. GIANT FAIL. I did uninstall after my play through and never intend to come back. I just wanted to see Datto’s reaction since I’ve played for 10 years.
well your guardian's specifics are supposed to be up to you, if you wanted your guardian to have breaks on their ship between activities, then there's nothing to say they didn't
@@alecnardone3309 For me it’s the way he struggles to make eye contact at first, his eyes darting around. It’s so realistic for an emotional moment like that.
@Alex-xi4bg even though I wasn't there for the beginning, I still have an emotional connection to this game and definitely teared up during those final moments. It was a great finale and and excellent conclusion to a story I've become so invested in. There are a few of us newer lights that have an attachment as well!
I got emotional finishing the story, I’ve lost two irl friends that I played Destiny and Destiny 2 with since it’s come out. They were brothers and ones gt was GameLegend21 and his brother was DestinyLegend21 LOL. When I finished Final Shape and Cayde-6 said “what comes from the light, must return to it” I just lost my shit 😂 I had tears streaming down my face with the biggest smile. This game isn’t about passing time or having something to do. It is art that brings out emotion and as a 22 year old I’ve finally realized. Art isn’t what you think looks cool or is fun, it’s what brings out emotion. Thank you all for being here for 10 years and thank you for being in this community.
It's probably why I didn't really feel much. Fun mission, but I've only been here since forsaken, and the story was never the reason I stuck around. While everyone's been all weepy and emotional I'm just like OK so... when we queuing up for the next looted SE clear?
@@ChuuniKaede If you've never played D1 I doubt Cayde would mean that much, but he was our absolute best bud in D1. I'm not trying to be a gatekeeper, but that scene really was for the people that have been here since the beginning, especially given the vanilla D1 music.
It gets me everytime watching the drifter spin his revolver and flash that wry smile. Loved watching Datto (and most others) play this with a big smile on their faces. The incredible poetry in Ghost repeating his first lines to us after being reborn himself, just incredible.
Drifter showing up there spinning Trust was my favorite bit in the scene! It also speaks volumes about his character development that he's front and center at the final battle when he used to be all "I'm going to bounce when it gets bad" when he got introduced
@@Psyshimmer I actually think they kinda did in a way. One of the core story beats for Drifter character development was him getting closer to Eris. He's been low-key flirting with her since Prophecy! But the pay off is mostly in Season of the Witch. Finding each other and connecting is a key reason for him staying IMHO
@@byrmaxson Yeah, I liked the Eris side-romance, but there didn't seem to be anything narrative-wise that indicated an overt shift where Drifter said, "yeah, this is worth fighting for." Not a huge complaint, I was just excited to see him grow as a character, especially knowing how much he hates his ghost, his tie to the traveler, etc.
@@fysy9989 yup yup, i love his videos and he's funny as fuck but in moments like this, people need to stfu and stop trying to be the star during the huge cinematic parts. Also was so glad to do this with randoms, it felt like a good closing mission to be reminded that its not just me and my team, its everyone.
@@mdamonctrue, wonder if that makes whoever did the very first completion of the new raid the canonical fire team that broke in and weakened the witness. Great cinematic moment though and I'm glad I could spend it with Scur-V.
Destiny has never really made me feel any emotion due to its story. This mission and cutscene were so well executed. When they brought back the d1 music, I actually teared up. I think this was the perfect end point after 10 whole years.
10 years…. I’m telling you this cutscene cut deep with me, I had a feeling cayde wasn’t staying but he went out in a way I wasn’t expecting but I like it
I'm not embarassed to admit that I was crying from basically the start of the excision mission, to like 40 minutes after the final cutscene, I was a wreck, and I don't regret any of it, what a journey it has been,
I'm right there with you, it was really emotional! I had already stayed up all night watching the raid race so when Excision finally dropped I was exhausted but so hyped that I forgot to get my recording stuff ready and I really regret it because I had no idea the roller coaster of emotion I was about to go on. The 12 man glitch was already one of my favorite moments in Destiny so to see it become a mission had my hyped, didn't realize we were going after the Witness until the first cutscene. I was an absolute wreck when ghost died even though I had a real strong feeling Ghost was going to somehow die at some point. I audibly shouted "No!" at my computer, ended up saying "bring him back" right before my Guardian did. Hearing Cayde "You tell the others this was my choice. My light." absolutely destroyed me, and that proud smile drove the nail right in my chest. I don't think I've ever cried this hard over anything, definitely not a videogame. I've been with Destiny for 10 years, and I really don't think there's a single thing I'd change about how this story went. Easily the best DLC Bungie has done.
The OG soundtrack is something I still go back to listen to from time to time. The music for me is very iconic/nostalgic. As much as we have some music bangers like Deep Stone Lullaby (I actually like the Atraks fight music as well) the original soundtrack just feels.... more Destiny to me for lack of a better descriptor.
Listen, I know we're all irony and cynicism-pilled here as mostly millenial-aged consumers of media, but I'm glad that I'm not at the level of Jez and allow myself to enjoy and feel things.
I seriously love that moment of Zavala embracing stasis after showing all of the former enemies that have now come to one side. It makes the cutscene feel so monumental- like every part of this universe has come together against this threat.
Damn. Started playing destiny and watching datto in the vanilla days of destiny. I was in elementary school and now I’m studying for the MCAT. Thank you datto. What a journey.
I completed this mission narratively with my 3 characters and did the GM on my warlock. I cried every single time. Kudos to bungie, they did a fantastic job with Excision for both the grandmaster and the narrative
I personally don’t think a guy (Jez) who has dialogue and music turned off most of the time gets the privilege of having an opinion on how Good/Bad story content is.
agreed, but that's why we can just ignore it. it's kinda funny that datto and danielle asked him what he thought despite knowing he wouldn't understand any of it though
It was truly a ride guardians. Been here since the beginning, countless memories and friends made over the years. My two best friends who I started hanging out with because of destiny are still my fireteam today. Here’s to 10 years of greatness and to hopefully more to come! 🎉 Also I really hope they add the ending cutscenes to the narrative version you can replay. Right now it only shows the opening cutscene.
Seeing Datto getting emotional gives me absolutely no shame in admitting I cried like a baby. This game has helped me through years of illness, met friends along the way. I won't forget!!
"i dont have much to say, im just enjoying myself right now." spoken as warrior of the light who after 10 long years, may finally rest for a moment. also as the collective player base when they saw this the first time
I was so drunk when I did this, that the next day I had to text my friend “hey want to reschedule us playing the final mission? sorry i went to bed” i had literally no recollection lmao
I teared up too. It's kinda hard not to if you've been playing for years. Especially if you started with D1 this is the end of an era, and an epic story we got to be a part of. That final cutscene of the Guardian with the vanguard hit so hard too. What a journey folks
I joined Destiny when it came to PC and I have been kicking myself that I didn’t just get a damned console and play D1. I have too many hours for a 63 year old and tbh, this game has helped me through some tough times. I still choke up a little in that final seen with Cayde. Nice to see others get some of those same feels. Thanks Bungie and Thanks Datto. See ya in the tower.
28:35 I really like that they included Archie. After Seraph, he’s now the last part of Rasputin left after his sacrifice, which was one of the reasons the Traveler chose to stay and fight for humanity, and that eventually led to us defeating the Witness. Having him included is a nice callback and how he was a key part in the saga.
it's been understood that the Traveler wasn't leaving but was preparing to confront the Witness, it couldn't leave because it was cornered, and knew we were its best shot
Gotta wonder how much the VAs were really invested in the Destiny story though. I mean, they obviously knew a good deal about it since they literally memorized the lines, but I mean how much they were into it.
They brought all the right bangers for the cutscenes, the original loading theme/orbit screen and so much more i cant even remember the name of, just the memories associated with
The song that starts at 29:25 got me more than everything else tbh. I was weakened by everything before it, but the song specifically made me weep. It's a bittersweet rendition of some of the OG D1 theme music that reminded me of so many ups and downs that I've had while playing this game for a decade. It brought all of the emotions from the latter half of the campaign together in one succinct moment, and I applaud Bungie for their work on TFS.
I cried when I did the activity 10 years of my life have finally come to a close I actually almost feel like a new person Ik I’m not but idk if I’d be alive without destiny and met my best friend ever through it I’m so happy to have been apart of this moment in time with you all
As a conclusion to now over a decade of Destiny storytelling, the ending hit me in the feels, too. I was barely able to keep from crying myself. I'm confident that if I hadn't played it solo, and instead had my homies in a fireteam and saw them sitting next to me at the end screen, I would have been crying as well. I haven't tested it yet, but I do hope we can replay the mission to get back to that "Sitting Down" screen. I'm only 27, so this marks off close to half my life leaving and coming back to Destiny. Thanks for being there, Datto.
It was hearing the D1 tower music that did it for me. Made me realize how long this game has been a part of my life. It’s been a ride. Ready for what’s next whatever that is
Jez decided to leave his PvP rotted brain in his ship when he dropped in to the mission apprantely. "Are we supposed to kill anything or...?" LMFAO brother I feel sorry for this fireteam ☠️😆😆
That intro cutscene was fan service and hype. "Get me EVERYONE." When Big Z slams into that front line, LFG. We got a wannabe God to kill. If you didn't cry or tear up at least once during this finale, You're a cold hearted person. Cayde being my Ghost is perfect. It's about right. I've not played it since. And if I don't play D2 again, I'll be very happy. It has ended in the right way for me.
Bungie at their best. Zavala's speech is right up there with "Independence Day" and "Cancelling the Apocalypse". Bungie is really good at making these "Let's Do This Thing!" moments in their games.
That cut scene is insane just saying seeing Sav hovering above that army made me think If she did anything she would go from powerful hive To SWISS CHESS!
"Ah guardian there you are..." broke me down when I hugged my ghost. They really wrapped this story up so nicely while still giving us some open ends for new futures.
12:00 I think the new origin trait made a pool of radiolaria on a multikill, but that one spot just infinitely spawned fanatics, which died, exploded, and retriggered the radiolaria multikill effect.
The finale of Final Shape was everything I've ever wanted from a videogame story. Thank you, Datto, for sharing your passion for this game with all of us. It is thanks in great part to you that I was able to be a part of this experience. It has been one incredible journey for everyone, and here's to another great journey to come.
@@waverider4524the gameplay has always been top tier. Me and my friends played it for that reason. The story didn't matter cause I enjoyed the moment to moment action with my friends. The story being good just makes it that much better.
37:20 with the "start with many people, then be alone/with fireteam only" thing. Didn't that happen in the Red War, on the last mission? Wasn't the first part of the final mission like a "patrol zone" version of the Last City, then you go off on your own to find the Vanguard and put a bullet in Gary's head?
I'm so glad that both my little brothers, checked out Destiny 1, played it through, loved it, and kept with it even after it almost died, and now we're still fighting today as a fireteam, I'm the Hunter, my youngest is the Warlock, and the other our Muscle, the Titan :)

When the music kicked in during the cutscene where we are holding ghost, I folded.
it felt so good getting a "we won" moment. The only time i had that feeling was after d1 campaign, but that was 10 years ago.
The fact that the final FINAL song is from a vidoc for destiny 1 updated is great
I get teary watching this, every time. It was so amazing, and Keith David knocked it out of the park as Zavala.
The Howard Dean “Byah!” on melees is never gonna get old.
Watching this a month-ish later, still getting teary eyed. Well done, Bungie.
the genuine smile and giddy giggles throughout the whole thing brought a smile to my face lol
it still hurts seeing that end
new emotional beat benchmark: "must have datto deathgripping his armrest while keeping himself together"
I was so drunk when I did this, that the next day I had to text my friend “hey want to reschedule us playing the final mission? sorry i went to bed”
i had literally no recollection lmao
I remember my first beer….
@brendonmartin1658 good for you?
@@KWCHope I’m assuming a lot of jokes go over your head?
@@brendonmartin1658 I'm assuming you get this alot then lol
Watching a Datto video just to feel something
I teared up too. It's kinda hard not to if you've been playing for years. Especially if you started with D1 this is the end of an era, and an epic story we got to be a part of. That final cutscene of the Guardian with the vanguard hit so hard too. What a journey folks
6:05 my guy you ran past the rally 🤣
I joined Destiny when it came to PC and I have been kicking myself that I didn’t just get a damned console and play D1.
I have too many hours for a 63 year old and tbh, this game has helped me through some tough times. I still choke up a little in that final seen with Cayde. Nice to see others get some of those same feels.
Thanks Bungie and Thanks Datto.
See ya in the tower.
Beautiful.
The D1 launch music was so important to me too.
❤
28:35 I really like that they included Archie. After Seraph, he’s now the last part of Rasputin left after his sacrifice, which was one of the reasons the Traveler chose to stay and fight for humanity, and that eventually led to us defeating the Witness. Having him included is a nice callback and how he was a key part in the saga.
it's been understood that the Traveler wasn't leaving but was preparing to confront the Witness, it couldn't leave because it was cornered, and knew we were its best shot
In my head canon Osiris turned around, saw Nimbus, turned back around and rolled his eyes
I am so sad that Lance Reddick didn't get to see the ending to the light and darkness saga
Gotta wonder how much the VAs were really invested in the Destiny story though. I mean, they obviously knew a good deal about it since they literally memorized the lines, but I mean how much they were into it.
@@jacob042 lance played the game, if I remember correctly he was playing lightfall the day before he died
The cayde goodbye with the radio is lore accurate lmao
I've already seen the cut scene and rewatching it still makes me tear up 😢
They brought all the right bangers for the cutscenes, the original loading theme/orbit screen and so much more i cant even remember the name of, just the memories associated with
The song that starts at 29:25 got me more than everything else tbh. I was weakened by everything before it, but the song specifically made me weep. It's a bittersweet rendition of some of the OG D1 theme music that reminded me of so many ups and downs that I've had while playing this game for a decade. It brought all of the emotions from the latter half of the campaign together in one succinct moment, and I applaud Bungie for their work on TFS.
I cried when I did the activity 10 years of my life have finally come to a close I actually almost feel like a new person Ik I’m not but idk if I’d be alive without destiny and met my best friend ever through it I’m so happy to have been apart of this moment in time with you all
As a conclusion to now over a decade of Destiny storytelling, the ending hit me in the feels, too. I was barely able to keep from crying myself. I'm confident that if I hadn't played it solo, and instead had my homies in a fireteam and saw them sitting next to me at the end screen, I would have been crying as well. I haven't tested it yet, but I do hope we can replay the mission to get back to that "Sitting Down" screen. I'm only 27, so this marks off close to half my life leaving and coming back to Destiny.
Thanks for being there, Datto.
It was hearing the D1 tower music that did it for me. Made me realize how long this game has been a part of my life. It’s been a ride. Ready for what’s next whatever that is
That radio message “the best bet I ever lost” I audibly yelled out “fuuuuuck” just pain is all I felt
I love how the pyrogale effects were bugging in the cutscene lmao
Jez decided to leave his PvP rotted brain in his ship when he dropped in to the mission apprantely.
"Are we supposed to kill anything or...?" LMFAO brother I feel sorry for this fireteam ☠️😆😆
That intro cutscene was fan service and hype. "Get me EVERYONE." When Big Z slams into that front line, LFG. We got a wannabe God to kill.
If you didn't cry or tear up at least once during this finale, You're a cold hearted person. Cayde being my Ghost is perfect. It's about right. I've not played it since. And if I don't play D2 again, I'll be very happy. It has ended in the right way for me.
Bungie at their best. Zavala's speech is right up there with "Independence Day" and "Cancelling the Apocalypse". Bungie is really good at making these "Let's Do This Thing!" moments in their games.
I just realized this now "there you are" is the first thing ghost said to us in the very beginning 😭
35:55 This sums up the group dynamic perfectly
Jez having paid enough attention to say "No he's MY ghost" is honestly impressive
That cut scene is insane just saying seeing Sav hovering above that army made me think If she did anything she would go from powerful hive To SWISS CHESS!
"Ah guardian there you are..." broke me down when I hugged my ghost. They really wrapped this story up so nicely while still giving us some open ends for new futures.
"Ok well now we're chatting in orbit" took me out 😭💀
For me if a game make me tear up it has a special place in my heart and destiny is one of them
I was hoping for this video to get posted
12:00 I think the new origin trait made a pool of radiolaria on a multikill, but that one spot just infinitely spawned fanatics, which died, exploded, and retriggered the radiolaria multikill effect.
"Look at them, they are all lvl6." "So am I!" "Oh yeah."
The finale of Final Shape was everything I've ever wanted from a videogame story.
Thank you, Datto, for sharing your passion for this game with all of us. It is thanks in great part to you that I was able to be a part of this experience. It has been one incredible journey for everyone, and here's to another great journey to come.
The end of Excision was the first time in a decade that a Destiny story made me feel any genuine emotion other than apathy.
So you’ve continued to play the game for literally its entire lifetime despite not caring about anything?
@@waverider4524the gameplay has always been top tier. Me and my friends played it for that reason. The story didn't matter cause I enjoyed the moment to moment action with my friends. The story being good just makes it that much better.
2:34 Zavala announces that if you're not a guardian, you're on ad clear.
Nah, he announces that they _ARE_ the Guardian's ads...
37:20 with the "start with many people, then be alone/with fireteam only" thing. Didn't that happen in the Red War, on the last mission? Wasn't the first part of the final mission like a "patrol zone" version of the Last City, then you go off on your own to find the Vanguard and put a bullet in Gary's head?
Final beam at the end of the fight is such a dragon ball kamehameha
26:10 - There they are. Thems the feels.
Dude me and my wife both cried. 10 years of our lives came to a close. It was a beautiful moment. 10/10 Bungie. Can’t wait to see the next chapter.
I'm so glad that both my little brothers, checked out Destiny 1, played it through, loved it, and kept with it even after it almost died, and now we're still fighting today as a fireteam, I'm the Hunter, my youngest is the Warlock, and the other our Muscle, the Titan :)
