- This was such a somber moment, personally. I have been away for the last years and on and off for a year before that. But, Destiny does have a special place in my heart. It was a really impactful experience witnessing what occured. Haunting.

Final Dawn was composed by Michael Sechrist, Skye Lewin, Michael Salvatori, and Josh Mosser.
chapters:
3:57 Final Dawn Breakdown OST
9:12 The Traveler OST
Big Spoilers here. But man, that hit me. As a person who has played Destiny since day 1.
Same here man. Same here. Looking forward to all your coverage of the Lightfall music!!
Agreed, this was awesome!
I am sooo hyped for Lightfall and what's to come over the next year!
Stessa situazione, seguo questa storia dal day 1 del primo Destiny. La fine è vicina.
Truly an end of an era and a powerful track as a send off. Much has been lost... loss that will continue and those that make it to the end will be forever changed. The darkness of night slowly engulfs us yet still there is a light of hope, not yet snuffed out.
Honestly, this whole cutscene hit like a truck. So much to unpack for both old alpha/beta/day1 vets and new lights alike and it really does feel like the marker of the turning point Lightfall is leading us to and of course Salvatori and crew brought their absolute A game to the scoring of this moment.
Man that callback to the original Destiny keyart really hits home. Even the 3 Guardians behind Zavala and Ikora are wearing the original class armor.
Dude, I was thinking the exact same thing when I saw the three guardians
It's the armor for the character select screen too. The FIRST armors we see.
I don't think it was a callback I think they have been hinting at this for 10 years
@@epicplayz4858 They certainly have. Too perfect and too beautiful to just be a coincidence or an afterthougt
I want to go back to the tower really bad...
Bro this entire cutscene hit so hard for me. I've been playing since the beta in 2014. This felt like the culmination of everything I have witnessed in that 8 year span
they foreshadowed this for the good portion of a decade with the orignial cover art of D1 i think
Throughout the 8 years of Destiny the one constant has been the Traveler. It's always been there, now that it's not it symbolizes a new act, the final act in Destiny's light & dark saga. Can't wait for lightfall and final shape.
Been playing about as long as you and I totally agree. We have come full circle and it is so exciting to see the fabled 10 year plan finally come to fruition

As I mentioned, Eramis doesn't want to do this. She looks back at the door that you were trapped behind earlier, there's a faint hope you stop her.
She doesn't want to work for the Witness, but the people of House Salvation are at his mercy if she opposes him. Everything Eramis does, is for her people.
She wants there to be justice in what she is doing, but in truth she knows there isn't. "For Riis" is more directed towards herself, there's too much hesitation for her to want to do this.
Exactly, she’s more of a cooperative victim as apposed to a full on villain
She doesn’t look back at the door because she wants us to stop her…she looks behind her because she sees the witness in the screens reflection and checks to see if he’s really there behind her…
Actually, if you turn your sound up, with earphones, there is a voice speaking, but you can not make out what it is saying. The only words I can make out are "watch" and "this".
@@llolipoplizard3604 when is that? Time stamp?
@@Cumbernumb Oh, you're right.
This cutscene feels so incredibly powerful. Like a turning point (which it is) this is something you'd see when someone close to the protagonist passes on.
It's so beautiful.
Devotion inspires bravery, bravery inspires sacrifice and sacrifice leads to....
Thank you for your deed, Warmind. I will always be YOUR seraph.
It kind of reminded me of Jorge’s sacrifice in Halo: Reach
For real. Lately ive had on my "Iron Lord" title among others but as soon as Rasputin said "my seraph" i changed to the seasonal title right after. And i vowed that when i beat the witnesses face in with my titans fists i will be wearing that title, and the ship he gave us after. That final dialogue from him broke me. I used to be biased against Rasputin as the "machine who doesnt listen but to himself" but this season changed all that. I came to respect him as an AI and then, as his own being. Loosing him was probably more impactful to me personally than loosing anyone else in the game so far.
@@jacobtyner2524 For realz my man! Even if Travel doesnt send a ghost for him and make him a guardian, he went out a true guardian of man-kind and the greater light in us all.
The camera turn revealing the Travaller hanging over Earth was incredible. Back in 2014 one of the key pieces of art for Destiny was of that image. Bungie has been building to this moment for almost 10 years... Incredible
Even better, that exact shot was the first piece of media we saw about destiny when bungie made the vidoc reveal about the game in 2013.
Final Dawn was one of those missions where you immediately knew the stakes. It invoked a similar feeling to the Red War. Everyone is fighting in this do or die moment where i think we as a community collectively dial in way harder than ever before.
Easily the best cutscene destiny has had, or at least in a while. Rasputin isn’t a character you think you’ll be sad to watch die, but the way they did it made it that much more sad.
Rasputin has been my favorite thing about destiny. I really hope he's not really gone.
@@diceman3616 hes gone man
@@diceman3616 Honestly same, but I highly doubt they'd bring him back.
Red shall be avenged.
There is a chance he comes back as a guardian. But Red? He's gone
Man, Rasputin was one of my favorite characters though. Having a super-A.I. that was pretty much human is so cool, and what set him apart? What made him human? Art, culture, philosophy... music. I'm gonna miss him.
I'm not sayin it will happen, but he fulfills all the requirements for being a Lightbearer and we could bypass going to Clovis for any "help" restoring his personality if we just use that little gift Savathun left us called the Altar of Reflection and blast him with darkness until he remembers Ana...
Destiny doesn't often make me cry, but this one got me. Absolutely wonderful.
I'm so glad you added your reaction to the Traveller being gone in the Tower. It's crazy evocative to load in and see a big empty space where our big magic space ball has hung, for me, at least since the Red War. I know for others it's been even longer.
it was SO WEIRD.
As someone who's played since 2014 it's pretty surreal
I saw the events in the cutscene coming. The signposting was there.
Something that Shadowbringers and Endwalker taught me: Being predictable? Being able to call what will happen? This is not a bad thing. What matters is how it affects the characters in the story. How do they treat it. How does it hit them. Watching Ana collapse as what she just did unfolds in front of her was hauntingly beautiful.
Always great to see another FFXIVxDestiny 2 bouncer like myself. Well hashed worlds and characters where reading and investing in lore adds depth and meaning to players' experiences is one of the best things game devs can do.
Yea being predictable isnt always a bad thing. Its just shows that those kind of things happen and sometimes HAVE to happen to progress. Always nice to see fellow FF14 fans in other games :)
I'd say this shines best with SHB SPOILERS: Graha. We knew he was the crystal exarch, at least if you did the crystal tower raids, but it didn't make that moment where he was revealed and we could say his name hit any less emotional. The music then just like in this scene is just pure perfection too. It really elevates the experience with how it conveys the scene's emotion through the pieces.
Final Dawn sounds very angelic, and as you said its like funeral march. The Seraphim are the highest ranking angels, Gods closest soldiers. Rasputin named his closest companions the Seraphs. Its almost as if the Seraphs, the angels, are guiding Rasputin to the afterlife with their angelic choir. With Ana, perhaps his closest Seraph, unplugging him.
I didn’t even think about this
"Devotion inspires bravery, bravery inspires sacrifice and sacrifice leads to death."
We started the Witch Queen expansion watching Savathun's memory of her being chose as lightbearer with this quote.
We ended the expansion with Rasputin's act of sacrifice for the humanity, reflecting the exact same quote.
It feels whole again.
No matter the state of the gameplay, Destiny’s storytelling is top tier.
I still remember The Last Array very vividly. Some may look back to that mission and think of it as the prime example of the much complained about "Defend Ghost" gimmick.
But to me? That moment when the score "The Last Array" starts playing, and the Hive ships tear their way into the arena, was really special. That was the first time we reawakened Rasputin, as well. Who knew opening up that rickety-ass communication array would lead to such an impactful moment almost 9 years later.
last array is a phenomenal track even now.
As a musician and a teacher, and a lover of this game, I do not think people understand the significance of the music selected by the creaters. It pulls you into the story snd the experience. Amazing video!
I’m glad you appreciate it Jon!
This cutscene is literally the first time I’ve teared up because of a video game.
I was in absolute shock when I saw the cutscene. Mithrax' plea to Eramis, Rasputin's sacrifice, Ana immediately breaking down and Elsie being there to comfort her. Then the Traveler, who was seemingly leaving us, decides to stay in orbit above Earth, referencing the very first Destiny promotional poster. (3:17 in the video) I don't think I've felt such a wide range of emotions in such a short time before. Whether the Traveler chose to stay because it did truly have nowhere to go, or perhaps because it recognized, in Rasputin's sacrifice, the Speaker's words (Devotion inspires bravery speech), Eramis' beliefs have once again been shaken and tested, and it doesn't seem like it'll be long until she betrays her master. Then loading into the Tower, seeing the empty space where the Traveler once hung. I don't think I'll ever get used to that. That, along with Final Dawn starting to play, gives me the sort of disbelief of 'did this actually happen?'. And then again, as the track progresses, it gives off the vibe of perseverance, as if saying 'we have lost a great ally, an even greater friend, but we must keep going, so that his death may not be in vain'. And then, finally, the track comes to an end with the theme of the Darkness, telling us that we know who we must face. This cutscene and this track were both absolute masterpieces, and I am so hyped for Lightfall!
10/10 IGN review. You broke it down very nicely and hinted at the very critical parts of the cinematic.
Very appropriate reaction to that cutscene, had my jaw dropped halfway through too! Hope you read Ikora's dialogue and Rasputin's final message, they name dropped "The Veil" for the first time in the saga to my knowledge and It's a biiiiiig deal.
Also there's a Vidoc coming tomorrow with all the info you need on whats gonna happen in Lightfall! Of course you can skip that if you want a blind experience but 95% of the community will watch them.
im going to watch it just not sure it'll be on the channel!
I legit teared up the first time I saw that cutscene, it was just so good. Plus that music, it just evokes so much emotion.
Man...this song just hits even fucking harder now. Rest in peace Lance.
I haven't played it yet :(
You can tell someone who has played this franchise by their reaction to the Traveler moving. Every person, including myself just straight up shock.
As someone who was a teenager when Halo came out and I even played Marathon, this single cutscene feels like the culmination of everything Bungie has learned as a studio. This is the best cutscene, for me, in all of Bungies history.
Whoever was in charge of the scenes with Ana absolutely nailed her anguish. Makes me tear up seeing it.
Also of note: The Fleet of Pyramids was passing Jupiter. Which means since the last time we saw them, they've made it past all of the outer planets and are now on our doorstep. Let's go Lightfall!
My wife is a Mezzo Soprano, classically trained. I need to get her to sing any of the solo stuff from the Destiny franchise. Yes, Martin ODonnells original score is the best ever but Skye and Salvatori have carried on doing tremendous works.
Oh man that’s awesome!!!!!!!
Ye mccartney's and Marty's score was AWSOME
3:22 is one of Destiny 1's artworks
Playing Lightfall along with watching your reactions is the pinnacle experience
Every time I’ve seen this cutscene, especially when the chorus kicks in, I get goosebumps.
The way Bungie made it look like the original art cover, I damn near cried.
This cutscene is as cinematic as can be! Loved the reaction and I can’t wait to see what you do next!!
The vocals in the OST for this Cutscene and Lightfall are sounding really promising.
Lorewise, I love that there are two potential reasons that the Traveler stayed: The one The Witness believes ("It has nowhere else to run"), and the idea that the Traveler recognizes Rasputin's, and in part Ana's, sacrifice ("Devotion inspires Bravery, Bravery inspired Sacrifice, Sacrifice leads to Death"). It is one of those ways that either or neither or both could be true, but it isn't written as something that feels pedantic or even almost... snobby? I appreciate that.
Also, the little things in this cinematic, mainly Eramis's hesitation before finally going through with it at the silent warning by the Witness, and the sheer sorrow from Ana throughout it just really make this cutscene so much better.
There is also the interpretation that the Traveler never intended to flee and instead rose up so that when the Warsats did fire the Last City wouldn't be collateral damage. By staying up at a higher altitude it draws any attack directed on the Traveler itself away from the City far below.
@@S3Cs4uN8 That was my thought too.
As the speaker said "Devotion inspires bravery, bravery inspires sacrifice and sacrifice leads to death" Rasputin at the end follow that and I feel like became a one of us, a guardian that protects humanity at any cost, this finale cutscenes for this season definitely hits the feels
I nearly broke down in tears hearing the traveler ost. So beautiful and moving. I hope we get some motifs of that in LF or Final Shape. The same way that horn plays the three note sequence at the beginning and end of the piece, it would be fitting for this track to play at the beginning and end of this 10-year saga.
I am routinely surprised how this game manages to make me feel something.
It took 3 watches of this cutscene to finally get tears out of me. The writing was on the wall for Rasputin's sacrifice, I hope the Traveler somehow resurrects him as a Guardian.
Edit: 9:12 This lone horn got me in tears again. Literally the first piece of music you hear in Destiny 1.
Music of the Spheres is still my favourite album in existence.
It would be so fitting and beautiful and heart-wrenching if that sole horn is the last thing we hear in the saga as well.
Oh man this cutscene was amazing. Had chills when I experienced it for myself. Sadness, loss, relief and fear in just 3 and a half mins. Also the call back to one of the original destiny 1 promotional images at 3:20 hits hard. A moment destiny players will never forget. Also another song I shal add to my destiny playlist lol. Just wish we could replay seasonal moments like this😢 And man I gota say Marco this was literally a dream vid for me right now lol. I've been so addicted to listening to the travellers theme for weeks recently and when I heard it I was like oh shit 0_0 no way, hes playing it!! xD Thanks Marco that was awesome :D
Destiny has had a weird and bumpy road to get to where it is now. But underneath all of it its always had a really deep story that you wished would be put in front of you rather than in lore pages. Thats been changing since just after Beyond light, Bungie has been putting so much more care and effort into a lot of aspects of the game, and this finale is only as good as it is because of the long as hell road to get here. So many plot points, character arcs, and emotions all in one moment leading into the next chapter, and I honestly can't wait
Things feel very good rn
Destiny has it's hits and misses but the music is always top notch.
The soundtrack for the Red War (original story) of Destiny 2 campaign will always stick with me.
i'm glad you did this one, such a great cutscene. the music over the shot of the traveler protecting earth like in the d1 art is so good
also idk if you've heard of destiny music archive but they're a great place to find music from destiny's past seasons that bungie haven't uploaded
I had heard of it. I’ll be doing some homework there
This was really cool to get your reaction to the piece! I'm in love with Final Dawn and am excited everyone can finally hear it!
Watching the entire cutscene give me chill down the spine. Big props to the Destiny music team like always.
One thing that's really hit me over the past 1-2 years musically is that every piece of music that references the light, the guardian, the traveler, they've all either become more muted and sombre, or paired up with an equaling track from the darkness. As we are meeting our match with the Witness and his disciples, we're seeing a lot of self-doubt in our ability to handle these threats, doubts in the Traveler and its motives, in what we're fighting for, and it's incredible to hear. Zavala's and Ikora's messages post-finale really hit that home. The Audio team at Bungie really knocks it out of the park every single release.
bro seing marco without a beard hit me harder than the traveler leaving. i turned the video on and i got pikatchu faced.
Thank you for picking up on how they quoted that original D1 "Traveler" theme (dating back all the way to Music of the Spheres) as the Traveler rises into space! When watching the cutscene, I immediately recognized those notes, here recast in a foreboding tone as we don't yet know at that point in the cutscene whether the Traveler will flee, be destroyed, or stay. It gave me instant chills - a perfect illustration of the power of leitmotif.
This season felt like the end of something. I played this game since ps3 back in the beta, all this time, even with the moments I didn't play, there was this little something in this game that felt like they knew where they were going. That final shot of the Traveler floating over the Earth is not just a callback to D1 and that beautiful art. This was planned and not a soul will ever make me change my mind.
Something is ending... and this time I'll be there.
Moments like these help me remember why, even among the cynicism, salt, burn out, I have chosen to follow this game for 8 years. Fucking beautiful Bungie
Very surprised to see this uploaded. It's a welcome one to be sure. This cutscene and mission held so much emotional weight that I think the game really, really benefitted from.
I love your take on this game. Your articulation, your passion, everything. You got my attention
3:14 a little secret but that shot was a direct foreshadow to the original destiny wallpaper/background
I remember the moon in the beta. Crucible combined arms. The intro mission to the moon.
We have come far.
Glad to see ya react to this event. That callback to old D1 with how the Traveller hovers over earth was just a beauty for a veteran like me.
They really nailed the melancholy feel
I didn't even play d1 back in the day, played d2 first and went back to d1 around 2020. When I saw that shot I was actually holding back tears. the music was so beautiful, yet depressing. we've known the traveler for 9 years. And now it's backed into a corner, and the enemy, who's caused us so much torment for so long, is about to win. We've known rasputin for a long time too, and he sacrificed his life to save the traveler. Everything we once knew has ended, the old era of destiny is now over. We are now marching onward to the final battle, and even though I haven't been here for the 9 year road, I feel like this game is a part of me now. It's like halo for me, except this saga may end on a good note.
I am beyond hyped for lightfall...
For sure going on the list of Greatest Destiny Moments that you just had to be there for. Amazing visuals and amazing music.
3:18 I wonder if they had this planned since D1.. This scene.. It's from Destiny 1 way back when at the end of trailers as well..
I wonder.. If it was a foreshadow... And we never caught on.. Or some sort of something.. I don't even know.. Somewhere deep down I want to believe it meant we were going to face some sort of doom in the future... but hell.. that scene was always powerful... This standing image of the traveler seeping light from beneath to the earth and back.
I may have only been here since the Taken War… but this is when our light will be tested… eyes up, guardian’s
This genuinely was breathtaking. An excellent way to end the year and honestly, I don’t think they could’ve done it better.
The music, I’m addicted to it. It’s got this powerful feeling of sorrow and anxiety as we question what the heck the traveler is doing, and for those feelings to be replaced with relief and dread when we realize that the traveler isn’t leaving, but taking better ground for the battle to come. Like you said, it’s like a funeral March, be it for our tumultuous peace, Rasputin, or both. It’s incredibly powerful with its direction and emotion it invokes. I’ve been playing this game since D1 beta, and to see the traveler leave like it did, and for the scene to pan in such a way to deliberately show the initial art of Destiny 1 all those years ago- it’s the end of an age. Makes me realize how old I’m getting lol
As always, glad to have a place where I can appreciate this music with other people, excited to see what you thought about the witch queen
Great analysis as you do. Thanks for the videos Marco, really appreciate it.
Hey Marco, I love that you give attention to this franchise. Destiny series as a whole is a treasure trove of music, but it almost never gets attention outside games own fans, almost no mainstream appreciation or mentions during music related discussions. I'd also love for you to eventually get to Destiny (2014) vanilla music, I'd say it got a somewhat different vibe compared to following instalments, and I'd love to hear trained musicians' opinion on this, especially on Music of the Spheres, it completely stands out on its own. Forsaken OST is also another high point.
i noticed that fact too. So, I'm leaning in, hard. Also I will!
I've seen from leaks what was going to happen but still, seeing the entire cutscene and how everyone reacted it's something else!
This cutscene hurt me in ways that I don’t think I could ever express to anyone who hasn’t played Destiny for years.
That shot of the traveler above the earth is so awesome. Good times loading into the tower not knowing anything about the world or what it had to offer. Forsaken was probably the best multi-player experience I ever had.
This piece is amazing, though I was surprised they didn't use The Tribulation. And that reveal of the D1 cover art hit so hard.
Also, is it me or does the start of 7:18 sound like the beginning / main theme of Bow to No One?
I agree it does sound very similar my guess is it's put as a callback to distinguish the fact that our guardian using both light and dark treads the line and truly refuses to bow completely to light or dark
I hope Final Shape and Lightfall make use of some of the original Music of the Spheres tracks, I’d be stoked
I can’t wait for the rest of your witch queen series videos! Also, sad to see the beard go.
i love your reactions keep it up man, excited for the remaining WQ-Missions and the "Vow of the Disciple"-Raid which cant come too soon tbh :D
Immediate chills down my spine when I saw this cutscene the other day
One of the old Speaker teachings was “The Traveler will leave us” and it happens I’ve been waiting for this for years.
It was a funeral March in a sense. It was Rasputin's dirge. Bungie made me care about him so much this season, and his death heavily hit me, when in D1 I would not thought that I would care about him so much, and when he said "Ana, it's time", the way he said it, the setting, and the music, made me cry. The whole scene really made me question. We stopped the warsats, but at what cost? Eramis thought she was genuinely playing the hero, just to realize that she was played. Information was kept from her. The witness knew the traveler had nowhere else to run and was staying,but getting ready to probably fight, but kept that info hidden from her so she tried to use the warsats to shoot it down so it would not abandon anyone. That can be seen by her shock at realizing it was not running away. Rasputin, in one season, became one of my favorite characters. Rest in peace Red.
@ 03:17,, thats a scene from destiny 1 trailer, its been foreshadow this whole time the traveler would leave us one day. mind blown
the traveler ost... chills all over...
This cutscene reignited my destiny fire when I saw it in game, I am very excited!
Having played this game since the beta of D1, it is absolutely jarring and damn near heart wrenching to _not_ see the Traveler in its usual place above the Last City.
It starts with solemness, uncertainty and fear, and ends with determination and bravery, but the fear never leaves
This cutscene gave me goosebumps. It was everything I expected, but I never knew when Bungie would do it. After almost 9 years, we are finally nearing the end of the Dark and Light saga. Bungie is going full-send on how they want to end this journey.
i was IN TEARS!!!!! such a good season finale!!!
the solo horn reminds me of old war movies - things are dire and a character knows they need to make the sacrifice to win the battle but the war's not over yet. Bungie's music department really carries the story telling of this franchise
As we reach the final hour, let the Light within us burn to the very end. Let our Light overflow. Let us be burnt to cosmic dust if it means we prove the Witness wrong. To avenge Rasputin. To shine as the Traveler once did.
Per Audacia Ad Astra
This is our Destiny
Now who's ready to turn calus into a sidearm
Not gonna lie I was meditating to a muscal mix I've made for myself and when the travel theme motif hit, I was hit huge emotional wave destiny ost is something remarkabler
This was one of the moments that reminded me why I really love Destiny. I am personally a person who is pretty invested in the lore and seeing the traveler start to go out to get milk was terrifying. I was thinking “oh my god, are we about to become the next fallen?” And then, as soon as Rasputin made his sacrifice to save the traveler from being shot down, it chose to stay. I don’t know if it’s truly because it has nowhere else to go or if it sees something special in humanity. And afterwards hearing both Zavala and Ikora express that the road ahead could very well lead to the end of humanity and that we should spend time with the people we care about. It was tough. I love this game.
It’s kind of fascinating how blurry the lines are with what the travelers actual intentions are
I was hoping that you'd make a video about this. Thank you! That cutscene was a real gut-punch. Loading into the tower and not seeing the traveler is so...bizarre. To be honest I am worried about who else we will lose in lightfall :(
I staright up leaned all the way into my desk last night when watching this cutscene, so far I almost fell forward lol!
Your body langjage and expression at 11:00 on out was spot on.
Probably one of the best season finale's ever in Destiny history. And the fact that after years of just getting used to the Traveler in the last city; to it just being gone is so jarring. The hype for Lightfall has grown so much.
Haven’t felt the impact of the destiny music like this since the red war campaign and when journey started to play
I only just joined as of Beyond Light, but I got really into the lore and oh man, this hit me like a truck.
This was not the season finale I expected and holy shit was it worth it.
I have been with this game from the beginning with the original E3 2014 Alpha and this cutscene felt like the perfect culmination of the series so far and the turning point as we move into the end of the saga that has defined the game for almost a decade. We just lost one of our first major allies we met in d1 beyond the tower/Vanguard. The traveler is no longer standing vigil over the city and while we had pyramids in the system already, now, the Black Fleet is here in force and it is time for this conflict to escalate from individual clashes with unrelated parties or smaller factions of followers of the Witness to all out war with the full might of our true enemy
Final Dawn plays now anytime you go to the Tower and every time I just turn to look at the empty sky and anticipation... and concern for what is next.
Same
my favorite part of the soundtrack is the opening. The haunting silence, broken only by the wind and the faint tinkling sounds, you know immediately something bad is happening.
Farewell, Rasputin. Your sacrifice won't be in vain. Let your Seraphs avenge you, with or without the Traveler.
Shit hit hard... Especially this... The Traveler is this icon.. the icon you've seen since day 1 Destiny 1. I've always looked up into the sky in-game and saw it there.. and now it's just.. gone... Shit.. we've always wondered about it.. always wanted it to do something.. always looked up at it.. and now? This huge climax inbound. This massive action coming. The Traveler.. we finally get to see it move... And unfortunately away from us.
Honestly, I think this was probably the most impactful finale in Destiny 2. Those playing through Season of the Seraph likely already knew what was going to happen to Rasputin, but held onto hope that their gut feeling was wrong. Nope, it was very much correct. Before that though, we watch as The Traveler does something that we did not see coming. This was far from a minor event, The Traveler was getting the hell out of there. Then we see a very emotional scene between Ana and Rasputin as the old warmind makes the ultimate sacrifice to a musical score that very effectively sends an emotional punch to the feels. Now Rasputin is gone after finally becoming a real boy and for the first time in Destiny history... The Traveler is no longer at the Last City.
We have waited for over 10 years to see this cutscene, we saw the traveller in this art over the earth for a long time and asked ourselves why? Its over the lash city? And to see this yesterday ist was just breathtaking to see the sacrifice of Rasputin and the „intro“ into lightfall. I Played this game since beta destiny 1 and it just gets me everytime man.
This whole thing was a BOMB dude
Man them recreating the original destiny 1 cover art with the traveler is crazy, does mean destiny & destiny 2 has been a prequel this whole time & LightFall is the real beginning lol
This guy shows so much emotion i am not use to that
that's me!
I feel like that music is a sort of goodbye or loss but at the same time it feels like a new beginning from a end we knew would happen
All ends are beginnings. Just like the exo stranger said at the end of D1.
Favorite destiny tracks: traveler reveal trailer(what you listed to), last array, excerpt from extasy/rose, remembrance, regicide,iron lords theme as well as wotm raid last boss (aksis) theme, d2 music, leviathan raid(especially the pleasure gardens) theme, all of forsaken(the man they called cayde and shell of what was come to mind but they're a lot more), shadowkeep(the pit of heresy doungenn final boss and garden of salvation raid final boss ost's come to mind),beyond light ost(all the deep stone crypt raid music especially 3 encounter, final boss and outside the spaceship(deep stone lullaby)),witch queen ost (vow of the disciple raid final boss theme and "hidden truths" are dope)
I'm not musically inclined, but I was commenting to friends I was playing with, that the brass in the Tower music afterwards felt triumphant but mournful.
Exactly! The people that has played Destiny since D1 will be the only ones that can truly understand and feel the pain that we feel by losing The Warmind! And the anger and confusion that we also feel when we see the Traveler leaving us!
Everything was just right with this cutscene and mission. Bravo Bungie!
The final mission and cutscene were so good it temporarily made up for how I felt about just losing Rasputin after all these years of the writers never finding a good way to use him.
