Zenos asking why you haven't killed the Endsinger yet is my favorite moment in the whole game. When nobody else does, Zenos believes in you. Even if it is a belief based on how much he wants to fight you.
For real. He finds you at the end of the universe, confronting the embodiment of a thousand thousand worlds' nihilistic despair, and he's genuinely just confused as to how you haven't kicked its ass yet.
@@peen2804 Not really. The Scions were still worried about you when you teleported them away. Zenos in the meantime is just straight up confused on why you haven't trounced Endsinger yet.
Guy believed in you so much he didn't even entertain the thought of you losing.
"I-it's been monologuing.. "
“I take it this is your prey… but why does it still live? Surely it is no match for you.” Zenos is the GOAT
@@DawnAfternoon I don’t know how to tell you this, but you can believe in someone and still acknowledge their humanity and mortality. I’ve seen so many people try to say the scions just see the wol as a weapon( which has been disproven since like hw), and now people think them worrying about your health and safety means they don’t have faith in you. The inn room cutscenes weren’t just fan service, it was all the scions telling you that it is unfair for you to do things on your own when you can rely on them too. You also forget that Zenos didn’t see the wol almost die to the light in shb like all the scions did, so his faith in you is more blind.
If all he wanted was a rematch, he would have just attacked us.
What he really wanted was for us to enjoy it too.
The first, last, and only act of kindness he ever managed.
ya'll really need to stop simping too much for zenos, he destroyed an entire civilization just to have this fight 😂
@@yestle7868 Yeah, but they were assholes.
@@yestle7868 well he’s undeniably a bastard, but he’s definitely a well-written antagonist.
@@yestle7868 bro emet did worse yet he is praised , just let people enjoy shit man lol
@@yestle7868 You can even argue Venat did worse but she's still a beloved character lol
I still get goosebumps after the Elpis blooms appear and that music hits with Hermes' first words.
The Warrior of Light could have created anything in their mind and they took a gamble on reaching Meteion's heart, to prove to her there's still hope within her. And that was how reaching through the despair was possible.
"You cannot reach despair with hope" but if there's still hope within to begin with...
Also, since every one of these reactions needs someone to mention it: I love after "Light the way" how the music changes. It's no longer Endsinger's boss music, it's the WARRIOR OF LIGHT'S BOSS MUSIC.
Also note the cuts showing the Scions praying for the success of their friend. And contrast them with the cuts of the Scions when they were praying to the Twelve to seal Bahamut in Dalamud again, way back in the very first cutscene of ARR when Louisoix fought against the dragon. The Scions may have changed in members, the original ones grown in character, but as you'll see when you compare the cuts the ideals of the Scions remain as they ever were. As it began so does it end, with fervent hope and belief in a brighter tomorrow granting protection and power to one willing to stand against those who would destroy that future.
I saw zenos as our 4th wall mirror to ourselves who struggled thru all the raids and extreme trials. We are reminded that Zenos is our mirror who we may or may not deny. He is very much like us who seeks for new content challenges and relic grinds. Because of this, I can understand why some do not like Zenos as a character and others have come in terms with him.
Zenos are one type of our friends in the game that skip all the msq and. just want to do end game content, and have a cool fight.... While he also want to drag you to do it with him but you are busy doing cool story mode xD
Every time I watch one of these reactions to the final bit of the Endwalker MSQ, I am just reminded again that Emet-Selch is one of the best written characters I've ever encountered... not just in video games, but in fiction period. Everything about him makes sense in the context of the story and he is beyond compelling. The fact that he rejects a final "reconciliation" and maintains that his choices were correct in his own mind is the perfect ending to his arc. For him to cry for "redemption" would undermine everything his character had been up to that point. Just fantastic.
He's the very embodiment that things are never black or white, that everyone is capable of terrible acts after so much suffering, and that it can be eeeeeextremely complicated sometimes. Imo he didn't need "redemption" as much as he needed a new start, 12 000 years of suffering is a long time.
Him leaving with Hytlodaeus, and hopefully one day both of them reincarnating to reunite with the Wol is a very fitting ending.
Nah
@@Noah-uo8zb I agree. I know the moral absolutist hypocrites like Nobbel (who still splooshes his pants every time Zenos walks on screen, despite his own *massive* body-count) like to scream that Emet-Selch is a horrible villain who is absolutely in the wrong, but I tend to find those are the people who can't step back and look at things from another person's perspective. Especially galling are the ones who whine that "he's just every old man whining about how things were better in his day." Completely missing the point where unlike the people who wax nostalgic for the good old days, E-S can point to multiple empirical facts that prove that the World Unsundered really *was* a vastly better place, and all life would only be improved by being Rejoined.
@@barachiel212 bro we get it you dont like nobbel
@@barachiel212 I mean zenos has nowhere near the body count that ES has.
Even if the unsundered world was better, it doesn't justify destroying worlds, which is like the whole thing the WOL works to prevent.
ES loved his friend, but he completely disrespected their seat exclusively. Convocation protects and keeps law in the world. Sundered counts and he did the opposite of this.
Zenos essentially supported ES' position. That he was justified in his quest bc it was so from his perspective. ES' perspective is relatable which is why hes more "forgivable".
Zenos is too, for those who experience depression and likes following their own path but is discriminated or looked down upon. He wants someone he can relate to as well.
Strummer so wholesome smiling at the reveal and through the end. Please make the MSQ some part of your content in the future too, I really enjoyed watching it. Especially the Trusts. 😂
Fighting Zenos as a dps with only second wind to heal was terrifying lol
I fought him as BLM and it was intense
@@whaleboi6854 yeah, blm has no heal at all haha
Haha! Kardia go _brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr_
Was so fun as warrior
I had a Reaper off on my play through.
Petition for Baldo to replay the other expansions
25:25 Xeems: "wait, Zenos is Shinryu?"
Chat: KEKW
I wish you had shown the walk. It is one of my favorite things to watch people respond to!
It was underwhelming, since he only played EW MSQ he didn't recognize most of the voices lmao
Maybe if he read all the text bubbles as Thirsty it woulda been good
@@whateverawesome wtf lmao what is the point of playing endwalker if you skipped everything else?
"This is going to be a good extreme"
Man...
I like how he was too busy talking to chat to even see the smirk.
Love your content man! Hope you had as much fun playing as I had watching my dude
39:53 *climax of the fight*
Chat: Stackingway
Lmao never change Twitch
"Oceanic server" made me spit my coffee. It sure feels like the edge of creation sometimes on that DC, but boy is the game fun with 5 latency after suffering for years on SAM at 200+ ping.
I had adapted pretty well to high ping, but it's still astonishing how much easier the game is without it. I can't even imagine how anyone lets themselves be hit by mechanics.
True, playing on US servers with 300 ping keeps the games aoes spicy at least somewhat.
i absolutely love Zenos asking why our prey still lives, like, he KNOWS we can win and is just being a cheeky bastard making a wise crack at the end of the universe lol
Xenosys reacting to msq videos is like showing a random person on the street that doesnt know what ff is and expecting something
The moment when you are teleported back to the scions, all is quiet. slowly open eyes and music fades in are in my opinion the most perfect 10 seconds in this whole game.
"Wait, Zenos is Shinryu??" I HAD TO PAUSE, I WAS LAUGHING SO HARD AT THAT. Best line of the whole MSQ play through.
Didn't get the cance to catch these streams real time, and watching these vods has been a blast. Having started to watch you with DRK salty memes, it's endearing to see you enjoy the story and smile at cutscenes.
This has been cool. Thank you for playing it strummer ❤️
Does going through Endwalker make you curious about going back through any of the prior expansions in NG+, Xeno?
Xeems are you gonna upload "the walk" inbetween this and the last vid separately?
Probably not, he probably didn't really have much of any reaction to it at all. And likely skipped half the NPCs anyways (walking off the path does that)
@@RevanBC another skipper i see lmao
Yeah that guy has been baiting for awhile, just ignore 'im
Zenos is like yourself that playing video game in ff14, but he is npc , you are player. you're not a Hero.
This was so enjoyable to watch , would like always to see react to story and raids as well they are good o7
That ending fight was especially comical when playing on a Lala.
Favorite screenshot I've seen of that cutscene was someone playing a lalafell and wearing a Serpent of Ronka ring. Lost my shit.
I laughed so hard at the fist fight when I got there.
What i like about zenos fight how it rotates through all the main songs previous expansions.
Is he using a mod to make his cooldown numbers larger or is that an ingame setting?
Meteion needs to come back as a Trust Character in the next ex-pac.
27:39 My god the bunny ears
48:10 That actually fits too. The story of Endwalker is essentially the Great Filter theory, which is the theory that we haven't found alien life because there exists some sort of "barrier" that prevents life from advancing far enough to reach or find other life.
Two things in the world make me sad the moment i hear them.
One being "Dear fellas," and the other hearing Hermes saying "Meteion".
One of the coolest moments in the Trials of Mana version on Steam, Switch etc is the boss battle that takes place on the BACK of Flammie. A White MULTI winged dragon. IE they are in a way replicating that epic moment from the Trials of Mana Wind Benevedon pre-fight cutscene.
When was this originally streamed?
Did strummer say "Sorry, I'm watching a cutscene?" I don't think I would ever hear that one.
Yooo lets go. That fist fight with Zenos has zero right being as cool as it is.
Flow. It's like the brown note for tear ducts
HYPE
Loving my stummer's play-through! Will you also add "You are not alone" section?
It wasn't that engaging because he didnt recognize anyone since he only played EW's msq
Time to do the other expansionsss!! Think of the contennnnt!!
Did xeno do a msq react before? Maybe for shb?
The timing of the music was a bit different for me, the torn from the heavens portion actually started playing right where Zenos went flying after the final punch
minute 53:30 forward, another XIV moment/quote engraved in history
37:59 The FEELS
Wait, did he skip ARR, Heavensward, Stormblood _and_ Shadowbringers? Did I get that right?
You didn't ONLY play this game to save a world. You played for a challenge.
" Never do that again. My poor heart couldn't bear it"
"Ulp. Yes, dear"
Is that like a custom UI to have his beast gauge appear as a normal bar?
Simplified job gauge
NOW FOR A TEST OF YOUR REFLEXES!
When I saw Zenos in for the first time in Stormblood, I pointed at my screen and said. "We're going to work with him at some point. Somewhere, someday, somehow. We're gonna be there at the end!
I'm still waiting for us to be able to equip Azem's crystal like a job stone and go super Saiyan
Hey Zenos!!!! "FALCON PUNCH"
damn i was really hoping to see the walk
Anyone know the name of the song that plays when Emet and Hythlo are summoned?
Heroes forge ahead
The song is either known as "Heroes Forge Ahead" sometimes referred to as "Hythlodaeus' Theme"
MANMODE! 29:00
hades phase 2 music is called invincible
How did he manage to do the final trial with an unrestricted party?
When you form the full party before queuing you can use whatever party composition you want
I can't believe Xeno didn't play MSQs from the previous expansions. This is basically a crime in FF14 community. wtf
15:58 The Myth of Sisyphus.
Wish we got to see the walk
He probably didn't know any of the characters so I doubt it had any impact.
lmao it wouldve probably been asking "who?" the entire time
Waiting for that final impressions video, now. Screw the haters. Dew it!
I'd like to see a opinion video from you
it's always good and refreshing a different opinion outside of lore nerdy bubble.
13:25 epic though it is...im pretty sure Emet isnt back by Hydaelins magic. Didnt he make Azem's crystal in secret and give it to Hythlo's spirit to give to us? Wouldnt that make it HIS magic by which they have returned? Or is it the gift that Venat gave to us at the end he's talking about and the crystal was just storing it...hmmm. im confused but the story is beautiful either way
It's the second one, Hydaelin magic. She said she would give you the power to give form to the formless and equipped it to the crystal, but that it wouldn't last forever.
I hated Zenos initially but the more I thought about it the more I landed on the reasoning of him being one of the many other sundered parts of Azem which would, in theory, be what links our character to Zeno deeper than the satisfaction of combat.
Hell yeah Wednesday Adams!
Do Shadowbringers story now please.
late upload?
Wow so that's what happens when you skip the credits. If you let the whole thing play through that particular scene where they're walking by each other has flow. I'm amazed that they don't fast forward to that part of the audio
I'm probably false but I think the blue shit that comes out the dead star is the unborn souls of the universe that were taken into the "egg" To prevent rebirth as she wanted to stop life from being born.
As a result, memories of these souls remain in form of dungeon.
I also love how considerate emet was to alisaie and the wol before vanishing, leaving no one regretting or feeling bad by tipping us off with exploration. Getting that final glance to see we're not sad or sulking anymore, was all he needed to see.
I believed it to be the dead's ugly emotions but not their spulds. I think the souls she killed vanished from all existence because their emotional will was too weak. This would have happened to the scions if their will was not strong enough. And that may be why hydalyn had humans suffer for so long, to get to the point where our will was stronger than metions depression.
The souls didn’t vanish, they were trapped in the egg, preventing them from being reborn.
Did he turn on dps meter for trust? 😂
28:16 i thought so too :/
26:48 real voice reveal
Good strummer!🔔🔔🔔
Zenos question is my favorite question in all gaming
Breakdown of the options
1, your an Ultimate Challenger, you bash your head to the wall called Ultimate even if there is no story to it, its inconsecuentual to the actual lore or even reason to even try it, it litterally just braging rights
2, you do side content, but its only if it enriches the story, nothing that askes one to go above and beyond
3, you only do MSQ
the option one thing. Hes referring to the comment you start the game with when the merchant asks you basically say I'm in it for fun as the most chosen choice. Also as a raider I figured it was the most true.
Fun fact, Venat's name in Japanese is just "Venus."
Yeah I dunno why they changed that… it would have been more fitting for the Greek names.
It's "Venas" not Venus. Venus wouldnt make sense since its roman
Also the name Venat came from the rebel Occurian that teamed up with Vayne Solidor in FF12, so they probably wanted to remain consistent with the localisation, since the Ascians names came from FF12 as well (except for Elidibus which was from FF Tactics)
@@TheMax1087 "Venas" is the closest japanese can get to sounding like "Venus". You could spell it "Venus" in japanese, but then it would be prenounced more like "Venouth"
34:08 XD
One needn't "play the story to go to the areas", no. But the story is the play, whereas the areas are merely the stage. It's like saying you've sat in the seats, therefore you don't need to watch the performance to feel the gravity of them. The areas are merely the "where", but without the story, there wasn't a "why".
Devil's advocate position...
lol 8 stacks before the WAR got one Shotted.
ACT on CONCERN
Where the fuck are we? Ha I'm pretty sure I asked the exact same question
Now u can play the game. Try crafting/gathering.
Post Nut Clarity and Thicc Lips 👄 🤣🤣🤣 OMG
As shallow as Zenos was as a Character, he was great. I look forward to see how the story goes on with him (or his Reaper Avatar)
If Zenos was so shallow then why is he the first one to realize life's true meaning in the msq?
REACT TO 6.1 STRUMMER SMADGE
I wish Gatekeepers would stop pressuring people to choose the first option. Not every Warrior of light is a damn sociopath
I didn't even think 🤔 it was possible you could have all Tanks 🤣🤣🤣
sad.
The last zone, Ultima Thule, was the weakest part of EW for me. They were told what was needed when they first got there very clearly but kept on like they had no idea. When the first sacrifice was made their reactions were justified but they continued to act surprised for the next several sacrifices. They knew what was needed but acted blindsided each time. It took me out of my immersion completely. On top of that you as the player knew they weren't dead so it was meaningless in the first place. It was cool seeing the other beings in the universe and what happened to them but the story just fell apart. Hell I even guessed Zenos would help way early in the story before I even got to that point. I can't tell if the writers expected you to feel sorry for him at the end but I didnt, he deserved to die. He was a terrible person throughout his entire life, death was to easy for him. Dont get me wrong I liked Zenos as a villain and loved his character. I just can't feel sorry for him or sad he died
Enjoyed the reaction, but good grief... an ad every 1 minute? >_
Xenos your char IS azem well 8 shards of azem at least source azem + rejoinings that happened azem fragments + alberd who was also a shard of azems soul.
You can't let him find that out for himself if/when he plays the ShB MSQ?
53:32 hahahahahaha
I chose the second option and am not ashamed to say it. The first one was too edgy (in the cringe sense) and out of character for me.
xeno wasn't even paying attention ZzZzz
ded
he chose "its over meteion"? unsubbed.
Your chat is worse than Asmon's . Holy fuck ....
I love that he doesn't like Zenos - I viewed him as just as shallow and boring. He got a bit better as they tried to make his story and motives more interesting, but I really didn't care about him either way. I didn't like any of the options for his fight. I didn't want to fight him at all and would have been happy to leave him there miserable.
ok lol
You would not be smart to leave such a loose end untied my friend
You can literally leave without fighting him. It doesn't matter what you say in the cutscene you can still decide to just turn away from him and take the route Meteion leaves you to follow.
Xenos didn't deserve nor earn final fight of the arc-priviledge. No.
no
Yes
Yes Indeed
Youre looking Like a Bad ass Viking from the wild but all you do is playing weeby Video Games on your Computer all day Long man lol
