When I saw his reaction to Sofia asking if he regretted his decision, it reminded me on one of Altair's memories. Altair and Ezio say mostly the same thing: "How can I regret the only life I've ever known?"
wich proofs that we are not architect of our actions
@@whiteeye3453 You are still the architect of that decision... Even if both are born as assassins... they could just leave as shay patric cormac did... Both choce to remain because they understood perfectly the meaning of the creed.
@@lonelywolf1784 Ezio chooses to leave like 10 minutes after this scene.
@@CenoriaWoah Yes but not because he regrets becoming an assassin but because he is too old to continue this life. He still believe in the meaning of the creed and he proves it in assassin's creed embers where Ezio trains Shao Jun.
@@CenoriaWoah cause he realized his job is done. Ezio was told that he is the conduit of message for Desmond. But Altaïr was told to pave way for the Other Assassins in the future.....that's why thr man had to be an Assassin till age 92.
From an arrogant teenager hellbent on vengeance, to the wise elder that represents why we continue to join these journeys...for us all to grow as people along side him at every step
arrogant?
@@mariaoliveira-ox7uu si an arrogant man, before his blade was tempered.
@@dimitrykrasny6852 he was stubborn, yes. But never arrogant. Give me an example of when he was arrogant
@@mariaoliveira-ox7uu
"The Auditore are not dead, I'm Still here ME."
@@dimitrykrasny6852 that's not arrogance, it's noble, he fough for his family. And he is telling everyone that his family legacy isn't dead. It's a message of hope, of not being oppressed by the society that is represented by uberto and the medicci.
To say that nothing is true, is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say that everything is permitted, is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and we must live with the consequences., whether glorious or tragic
J.P. Sartre, is this you? Were you there so many centuries before with another name?
One of the core philosophies I live by.
I never really understood the creed until i heard that line for the first time
@@Sebbir There is another explanation, I got it from another AC video where Altair and Al-Mualim spoke.
I'll quote.
"the world of MAN is an *illusion* because he builds it based on an incomplete understanding of nature. the ancient definition of a philosopher is one who understands and sees all humanity *within himself,* as well as the workings of nature. peace be upon you, may you come to enlightenment, amen."
That actually is a little true
I always loved how every assassin given the chance to speak on the creed itself has a different interpretation of it.
Ikr. If I recall correctly,
Edward believes that the creed is the foundation to build your own wisdom from. Which does make sense since Assassins encourage freedom and for people to think for themselves.
Arno believes that it is a warning on extreme behavior. Your truth may not be THE truth, and in reality, anyone is capable of anything.
All of them does follow Ezios explanation however, that the creed is an observation of society. Not a command.
Both the assassins and the templars show us how the extremes of freedom and control are the downfall of society and that a balance of both are needed to maintain a society and how blind faith can ruin a person
@@theracerofnightmare i mean it really depends on the period of history. a large portion of templar sects are just straight up authoritarian or fascist.
@un0riginal539 that is what I mean look at how the french revolution started
You know, this part of ACR is exactly why I think Connor Kenway needs another game. In ACIII, he was so busy trying to save his village that he pretty much didn't know or care about the Assassin Order. It would be awesome to see him learn more about the Order and discover the true meaning of the Creed, and what it means to be an assassin.
blaknite16523 maybe but with ac3 we got a got understanding of the templar way and the original intent thanks to haythem in the end. the Ezio trilogy was great but suffered by having the antagonist as typical power hungry villains maybe less so in ACR. However AC3 and later Rogue showed help showed the templars as they should peace through control rather than peace through freedom. Be the yin to the assassin yang.
i find ac1 and ezio trilogy revealed the wrong in the templars. ac3 and rogue revealed the wrong in the assassin's. black flag gives an outside vew of both. Unity showed the stubbornness of both and their similarities. Syndicate.... I am not sure their adaptation to the new modern world?
This this is why I love all the assassin creed games except for syndicate
Colonial assassins suck (as a creed).
@@Morally_Immoral2
wait what's wrong with syndicate?
After all these years I still hear these words and get struck by its wisdom. I'm convinced Ezio's dialogue was written by a poet
“Everything is permitted? I like the sound of that, doing what I like and acting how I please” - Edward Kenway
I was really happy when he learned better over time.
I really need to replay the Ezio trilogy
I just platinumed the ezio collection on my ps4
Same
I’ve only done it once
I have compleated ac 2 brotherhood and revelations 3 times and it made me cry
Literally currently downloading on Switch and is why I came to this vid
By the moment I played this part of the game, tears started to roll profusely. That was the best moment ever in Assassin's Creed for me.
"But it is a merely an observation of the nature of reality"
- Me, doing my best to reach the word requirement on the essay
Ezio breaking the code on his own. How amazing.
The uploader makes a very good point, Ezio is responsible for his actions as an Assassin, it was however the result of actions taken against his family by other people, in that way he's simply saying that his response was natural, it may not have always lead to the best of consequences, but they are ones he must live with just the same.
200/100 of ezio speech
Ezio is the master at giving you the chills
Ezio: The order began thousands of years ago.
Bayek: Hey, I'm not that old!
I do regard Ezio's meaning of the Creed as the most philosophical. The Creed and how Assassins saw it evolved over time, as did the overall aims of the Brotherhood.
Ezio had some of the most emotional speeches in the entirety of the franchise. The speeches Ezio has made to this day make me feel inspired. If you truly understand what he means by "Nothing is true, Everything is permitted." It can be a helpful tool to finding your own peace. I know its just a game, but there's still wisdom in his words.
“To say that nothing is true is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. to say that everything is permitted is to say that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with the consequences, whether glorious or tragic.”
"This life, it chose me".... i felt that..
Back when Assassin's creed was....... Assassin's creed
trust me the time will come. Valhalla was a good step in the right direction it explained a lot of holes in the lore. Now we will probably head to china or India to find out what will happen to Desmond and Layla.
@@MyTonyGames aint going to either of them nice guess though 👍
oh my god shut up
@@RUN_IT_UP_ know this how?
@@MyTonyGames Nope.
Now we know the Templars are real. They are called the WEF.
One of their tentacles, tri-lateral commission, bilderburg meetings, blackrock. Follow the money.
Bayek would be proud
Kassandra would be you mean it killed me saying this
The character development of Ezio rivals only that of Kratos imo. Ubisoft sadly was never able to recapture the magic of the Ezio trilogy. These games will always be in my hearth.

' This life, it chose me.'
perfect answer when people asking reason for you being single for so long.
One of my favorite parts as well, something everybody should live by.
This game and Ezio. Just wow
I have been playing assassin's creed since 2011, at the time I was only a teenager. It took me 12 years to finally understand the true meaning of the Assassin's creed... Applying it to our world nowdays can never be more relevant. The game and the philosophy behind are truly a masterpiece.
It's strange how he says that everything is permitted meaning that we are the architects of our actions and at the same time responding to her that he did not make the choice to become an assassin. A strange even a bit paradoxical statement compared to his own creed.
Well in a way he did both choose and not choose. Sure he decided to become one to avenge his family and later because he thought it was correct. But it would never have happened if his family was left alone.
As I remember it, he made a choice to get revenge and unmask the conspiracy that led to the deaths of his father and brothers, by the time he was initiated he was already in too deep to back out. So he made a choice but also didn't, I suppose.
He made the choice to take up arms and take revenge for his family, the consequences was his life as an assassin.
He was not able to be put here by his own hand but by God, hes saying he has a calling from the master architect
By being human and understanding this
The sentence: "Nothing is True, everything is permitted."
Imo, is the Ultimate Truth!
The way I see the saying is almost if not THE same as Arno Dorian in Unity.”Nothing is true” is something we must accept,there is no real “truth”.If there is,it’s a useless one not worth the effort.”Everything is permitted” is what those who cannot accept that fact will end up thinking.in their search for the “Truth” they will change and bend their morals in hopes for a better chance to find it.The wiki states that’s how Arno views it,as a guide and a warning.
We must accept that there is nothing,or we’ll lose ourselves.
The way Ezio explains the creed is how I interpret things like the Codex Astardes(warhammer), or the jedi code(star wars). None of those are doctrines. It’s how we live by these rules that is the true test of an assassin, or a space marine, or a jedi knight.
"The truth can be twisted, so determine what the reality is in front of you based on your own deductions. We have free will; we can do as we please but there will be consequences to any of our actions based on societal pressures."
1:16 when the same question was asked to Altair from Al-Muallim he answered like that: How could I regret the only life I've ever known?
they were almost at the same place, the garden of Masyaf castle
To say that "Nothing is true" is to realize that the foundation of society is fragile and we must be the shepherds of our own civilization.
To say that "Everything is Permitted" is to realize we are the architects our actions, and we must live with consequences, weather glorious or tragic.
This is actually a good philosophy to live by IRL
I suggest all should live by this
This has never rang so true for me than these past couple of years.
It's interesting how she calls it cynical as if it was a doctrine, followed by Ezio confirming that it would be if it IS a doctrine. Because back when I first heard that saying, I thought it was a doctrine by the Creed. But this explanation actually blew my mind but also it started to make sense considering how we apply that idea to how we see the world today.
I love how they futher confirm this in Origins with the cryptic tomb messages that almost confirm that in Assassin's Creed, everyone is in the matrix.
Oh yeah & to top it all off, Desmond says "Nothing is "real". Everything is permitted."
It is bollocks though.
Nothing is true everything is permitted to say is nothing is true to realize that the foundation of society ar fragile that we must be shepherds to our own civilizations to say everything is permitted to understand that we are the architects of our actions and we must live with consequences whether glorious or tagic
Can someone please tell me what this means in other words? Make me understand please ToT
@@shh__-shadow-__oww7517 it means war is end less and people ar fighting for nothing evey people the way they act is falling apart the world is ending) dats all i csn say :>
@@conner8120 Thank you, fratello mio 😁
@@shh__-shadow-__oww7517 your welcome :)
@@conner8120 more like:
To say society is fragile means people are ignorant and/or arrogant to the point where society sits still. This could result in wars, but also other tragedies such as slavery, famine, injustice and poverty.
The part about being our own architects is saying we must live with the choices we make. Saying "everything is permitted" means "everything is possible", you just have to deal with the consequences of whatever you did, whether heroic or tragic.
I had this same outfit for ezio RIP ezio and altair nothing is true everything is permitted
In another life, Ezio would've been happy with Rosa, just sayin.
She was meant to be in Brotherhood, but the voice actress died in a car crash, so her character was removed from the game.
@@girthquake2390wow that's horrible
This life, it chose me.
The legend:
Ezio Auditore Da Firenze ❤
What similarities Altair and Ezio held. Even there decision to live in brotherhood wasn't there own.
Fine, I'll play the first 3 assassin's creed games again
You mean 4
It's better than Arno's explanation
how so?
@@replsortech2012 it's simpler
@@thiagodosaflitos7899 I feel like ezio describes the theory well but arno goes into real-world applications of such an ideology
My interpretation of this is that, basically nothing that has been told is true, more told to keep us in check,for example religion. It was created because we really had no order back then so someone smarter came up with an official story that had a reward for good behaviour (heaven)and a consequence for bad behaviour (hell) anyway I could go on about how religion is rubbish but there’s to much to say. Strange there’s so much philosophy in the early assassins creed games,I just love it! The way they did a spin on the people In charge of the world ‘theTemplar’s’ but very overblown obviously. The ‘nothing is true’ doesn’t really hold up today with science and everything,but back then everything was false. So it’s a way of saying don’t believe what you’re told, come up with your own conclusions. And the ‘everything is permitted’ is basically there is no laws and no meaning to life,we have come to be just by coincidence so you can do what you want. But remember,just because nothing is true to you doesn’t mean everyone else thinks the same so your actions have to obey the believed laws of the world otherwise you’ll suffer the consequences. Just love the old assassins creed games with it’s deep rooted philosophy on life,now it’s just sad to watch where it is.
I guess that’s what happens when every buggy game they came out with everyone left hate. My guess is they thought “nobody knows what they want so I guess will just make a fortnite type experience with colours and cosmetics” not realising that everyone loved the previous games. It’s just,they had soo many bugs,literal game breaking ones. Shame if they just spent a little more than a FREAKING YEAR! I mean they literally made the games in a year,The employees must of been slaves for sure.
False God is the only way you are creating fantasy in your head his book is older than anyone alive his word will still be here after us let that sink in
@@RUN_IT_UP_ @Game2Game …It has sunk in. Your point applies for any other piece of written work. Still means nothing to anything but us and after we're gone would mean nothing to anything, but of course you believe will go to heaven and live forever in comfort. Ever thought how heaven is just a big reward for living virtuously let that sink in,lol anyone that says 'let that sink in' hasn't given much thought on things, but just my opinion like anything else you hear or read, just someone's opinion. So try not to get offended if my beliefs or others differ from yours.
in the context of Altair's day, and still strongly but slightly less so in Ezio's, (organized) religion would probably have been the most prominent example, but I feel it applies to all ideology and moral codes. Nothing is absolute truth because there is only what people subjectively believe is correct. Blindly believing something without first considering whether you agree with it is foolish, but at the same time every decision of how you want to live your life is an active choice with inevitable consequences that you only have yourself to blame.
Own your shit, or at the very least decide who should, but everything is permitted; never pretend you weren't the one who started walking this path if you don't like where it leads.
Realistically, imo, it's not actually anti-religion at all, just against blind faith without reasoning. Against just letting something else fully dictating what you should do without giving it a second thought. If you personally decide that you agree with what a religion says then all the power to you. But it's all on you, always has been and always will be. Always *should* be, if free will is to have its way.
Nothing is true still holds up. do you think our society is built up on concrete grounds? Our understanding of reality itself could shift with a solid unifying theory, our rules and morals are shifting everyday. It shows there really is no truth.
I can listen to ezio saying altair ibn la ahad for 1000 years
Back when these games cared about philosophy
"Also my great great great grandad domenico wrote in a crypt that the assassin's oppose rulers, not just templars, but for some reason writers keep making us ally with rulers and senators and politicians when we're supposed to be fighting them."
"But who cares about consistent philosophy, right?"
Yeah what’s that all about?
Even the outfit is the best ever made
Ezio trilogy > All the AC after
So ma boy Ezio knew or at least sort of knew WHEN and WHO build the FIRST ever Assassin Brotherhood ? Which for those who dont know, ma boy Bayek of Siwa did it in Egypt at 46 B.C. and then he expanded it in 43 B.C. ? I thinks yes
Kinda looks like ezio is wearying bayek’s outfit here.
The saying nothing is true of all is permitted is beyond society it is infact a spiritual guide to our observational lifestyle. The saying "nothing is true means that all is true, The saying "everything is permitted means nothing is permitted. This philosophy is beyond social construct and more for the human soul. Depending on your lvl of enlightenment the saying will resonate a certain way. Deshi basara 🙏🏽
Rip ezio
if they go in and out of Italian, what language are they speaking to themselves?
He contradicts him self..."we are the architects of our actions "..."this life it chose me"
No he doesn't
He does, but that's just what he knows afterwards. When he was driven by anger and revenge he neither knew the definition nor did he think about it.
not really a contradiction, hes saying your responsible for your actions and becoming an assassin wasn't a matter of a good or bad action when he says this life chose me he means it well more or less chose him because his fathers death accidentally really made him an assassin
We are responsible for our actions. Actions taken by other men of the templar order that killed his family. An action taken by giovanni as he told ezio where to find his assassin gear. An action taken by ezio to kill the man/men in anger and in rage responsible for his families murder. Therefore becoming an assassin in the process. The life chose him because they could of killed another family but he is responsible for his action in taking revenge on them. So it's not contradictory.
Exactly...
High time Ubisoft lets go of AC also.
This life...it chose me
So. Fucking. AWESOME
awesome
Geez, stop moving the camera so much, I'm gonna puke
If this isn't proof they r here still idk what is

Revelations is the best ezio game. Brotherhood is overrated
A great conclusion to Ezio's legendary life.
Too bad the colonial assassins seem to forget the creed and it’s tenets
Yeah, I think the later Assassins don't even know the true meaning of the creed they just use it to justify their madness.
