@@coffeeavenger This seems like it should be the basis of a video of its own: just something that combs through the lore and includes everything currently kicking around in the WoL's soul and just how damn crowded it is in there. In retrospect its funny that Endsinger mocks us for fighting her alone, when we have a goddamn soccer team that gets dragged with us wherever we go even without Azem's crystal
Bene: Releases some of the greatest FFXIV shitpost animations ever made Also Bene: Releases some of the most heartfelt and touching FFXIV animations ever made You truly are a master of your craft.
At the End of All Things you can always rely on Arbert, Fray, The Great Serpent of Ronka wearing a Silly Hat, and Eight Namazu carrying your Mikoshi to always have your back.
This is so fitting, too. Ardbert’s not just the WoL’s friend, he’s also a part of himself. They’re both part of Azem. Absolutely wonderful, and emotionally great. Also, the animation’s a 10/10, wish we could get even more of it all. Also, the “If you need a push, I’ll be right there behind you.” is an excellent touch!
They bring this up in Endwalker and in Dawntrail even. It is why the WoL's aether is so denser than everyone else's, they have gone through a WILLING rejoining.
Every time I think I'm "done" having such intense emotions for Endwalker, I'm reminded there's no such thing as being done. I'll be raw forever. Tales of loooooss and fiiiiire and faaaaaith!
The fact that you can just completely code switch between the funniest shitpost you've ever seen to something that makes you as emotional as you were going through the MSQ is a testament to the passion that goes into these animations. Through the good and the bad of this journey we've seen, there's not a single time you've missed, BeneG.
poor Meteor getting hit by repeated gut-punches from Ardbert's song... that is pretty much *exactly* how I felt when I heard it the first time, you got it spot on. and then seeing Fray with the light stick made me crack up so hard XD
I mean, the scribe should probably cover that incident with the motorcycle and the catboy. The alternate history scenario dreamed up by a traumatized sprout might also be a good topic to cover.
@@lchigoKurosaki You can just use WT to level it, or PVP. Still tanking isn't AS stressful in FF14 as it can be in other MMOs, and people can be pretty forgiving.
I'm just imagining the looks on all the ethereal, ghostly scions watching on as WoL has a mental breakdown and has his arm around an invisible person offering them a drink....
Frey showing up was peak. It is all of our WoL bits together in that moment! Shame that they cannot canonize a 'class' for the WoL, but Frey added on that moment would've been genuine perfect for the walk.
Years on, this song brings a tear to my eye without fail. I love it. And this is another such beautiful, heartfelt piece, Bene, masterfully animated. Thank you. ♥ I did burst out laughing at Fray waggling a glow stick though. Hee.
How WoL was reacting was how we _all_ reacted to the final walk... Also they didn't need to say it was Ardbert, they really didn't.. they did it to give us EMOTIONAL DAMAGE!
Inspired by the info revealed from the primals concert a few months ago. More like Ardbert's old lore now....
...I need an explanation. What lore?
@@RetroNutcase It was revealed the song sung in ultima thule was from adbert to wol.
HOW DARE YOU PLAY THIS SONG AND NOT WARN US? YOU BASTARD.
Well, now I'm crying.
@@lucasgalen3101 WHAT that's insane never knew!
@@benedictgg It’s a recent reveal, from the Primals concert in September.
Seeing Frey there. I realize this is all just an episode of "Me, Myself and I"
That made me literally LOL….at my kid’s soccer game….right as a player got hurt. Father of the year award, right here 🤣
Triple Tank Threat inbound
The normal gunbreaker confused seeing the schizo paladin drinkin with his imaginary warrior friend and his drk edgy personality.
I'm not gonna lie, I lost it when Fray showed up. When no one gots me, Frey gots me
@@lukkethelukke3514 Are we sure that Myste didn't take GNB?
Man the fact that Ardbert was a better singer than our WoL (from previous skit) is just funnier.
Love you Ardbert ❤ miss you friend.
All of Azem's vocal and musical talents went to Ardbert apparently, just waiting for an opportunity to shine.
Wait, which one?
Edit:, oh, the lahee one?
@@pyroqwerty yup, that vid. Our WoL has some cursed pipes...
I figured it was more just WoL being a troll when he sang LaHee.
Says you! My WoL is a fabulous bard!
XD
That little shake of the bottle the Wol does at Ardbert when I can clearly tell he's going "Dude I'm singing?!" is so funny!
Bene you can’t keep DOING THIS MAN
He can and he will. 😂
He can't keep getting away with this!
NO KEEP DOING THIS
I beg to differ, and he should.
Keep….*ugly cries* going… just keep going!
Fray being there was a nice touch. Just needed Myste to be there to have all the voices in our head present
what a Mysted opportunity am I right? lolll
Throw in Midgardsormr too. cmiiw he's still sleeping within WoL
Don't forget our voidsent buddy
@@a_sweetroll1627And don’t forget our Reaper avatar!

You truly are a master of your craft.
Truly a Warrior of both Light and Darkness.
Lisan al gahib!
Sometimes in the same video, even
Don't forget Bene also releases some of the most heartbreaking stuff too, that one Haurchefant animation man.....
At the End of All Things you can always rely on Arbert, Fray, The Great Serpent of Ronka wearing a Silly Hat, and Eight Namazu carrying your Mikoshi to always have your back.
And you forget myste who is literally the darkest night for who could love u more than yourself.
well it's seven namazu carrying you and one holding on post-mortum
When the WoL had nobody else to lean on, Ardbert was there. Good guy Ardbert, *OUR* WoL.
I was expecting to see the scions at the end just watching him talk to himself.
@@theruinerofchats ...h-how? They all dust atm...
I know his story was concluded but I kinda hope we see him some more.
And when Ardbert wasn't there, Zenos was there.
@@RicardoSantos-oz3ujZenos knife in hand screaming "Fight me!" But hey he was there!
Ardbert the Warrior, Fray the Dark Knight, and Meteor the Paladin.
Are we SURE Myste hasn't taken up a gunblade yet?
Thancred, in the distance: "IT'S MY TURN!"
@@Zeppelee You hear a disembodied voice coming from all around you, in the air of Ultima Thule: "This is Thancred."
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!!!!
Anyway, Ardbert is the best boy.
the ardbert fucker is here.
Ardbert fucker is here
Wouldn't we all be fucked by Ardbert? He's been inside all of us after all@@benedictgg
@@benedictgg @TiffanyLockheart Anywhere an Ardbert appears, his dutiful stalker follows close behind.
@@PaladinArndt You could phrase that a lot better and less weird ngl lmao haha
"Strong art thou, mortal."
How did you mess up a 4 word quote? 😭
My absolute favorite line from that long walk.
@@CianaCorto Because last time I heard it was 2 years ago, and before that another year.
that one cracks me up in its simplicity
Me: *expects a loporrit behind him with a boombox*
BeneG: how bout some feels instead?
Spent the entire video waiting for the other shoe to drop and the closest we got was Frey with a glow stick.
This is so fitting, too.
Ardbert’s not just the WoL’s friend, he’s also a part of himself. They’re both part of Azem.
Absolutely wonderful, and emotionally great. Also, the animation’s a 10/10, wish we could get even more of it all.

😭 Thank you for this. In middle of crying, I laughed seeing Fray with the lightsticks.
And so unenthusiastic about it, too!
@@Calydor "I'll do it, but I am not happy about it."
Emotional damage
The inclusion of Frey is just 10/10 YOU NEVER MISS.
"Do not despair. You are not without allies."
Save your tears for the morrow. You may be sure we will have ample cause to shed them, be they for joy or despair.
Oh you did not just make me cry again at the "if you need a push" line
Oh he did because you're not crying, I'm crying
This is now the canon scene, you can't convince me otherwise
" If you need a push I will be right there behind you " - Ardbert
By the Twelve this is what I needed to finish Dawn Trail
Man you can just feel the power and emotions come from this song, how much pain and trials had to be overcome, and then being able to press on.
Doing the lip syncing must have been pain, because they are so accurate!
Esteem with glow sticks sent my sides into orbit ROFL
So very 'enthusiastic' about it too.
Every time I think I'm "done" having such intense emotions for Endwalker, I'm reminded there's no such thing as being done. I'll be raw forever.
Tales of loooooss and fiiiiire and faaaaaith!
Meteor just went through the 5 stages of grief within 2:31 minutes. Same bro, same.
5 more minutes
Not even hallowed ground can protect you from this type of damage
The fact that you can just completely code switch between the funniest shitpost you've ever seen to something that makes you as emotional as you were going through the MSQ is a testament to the passion that goes into these animations.
Through the good and the bad of this journey we've seen, there's not a single time you've missed, BeneG.
poor Meteor getting hit by repeated gut-punches from Ardbert's song... that is pretty much *exactly* how I felt when I heard it the first time, you got it spot on. and then seeing Fray with the light stick made me crack up so hard XD
It's been years at this point and damn song can still make me cry.
Bruh, it's only been 2 😅😅
Make it sound like over 11 years... Yet 🙃
It's been almost 3 years. Time flies
“Let’s finish this.”
Start with him. End with him. Forge Ahead.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks that Jason’s voice is a good fit for WoL and/or Ardbert.
I came here for a fun time, but only got depressed...
Great work as always BeneG ^^
Oh! Are we covering lore now?
Implying that BeneG’s previous videos weren’t perfectly lore accurate.
@@InquisitorThomas including emet-selch gun mishap
I mean, the scribe should probably cover that incident with the motorcycle and the catboy. The alternate history scenario dreamed up by a traumatized sprout might also be a good topic to cover.
Damn, came here expecting peak silliness and found peak feels instead - well played, BeneG, well played!
Just how I remember it.
WHY AM I EITHER LAUGHING OR CRYING WHEN I WATCH YOUR VIDEOS?? every time is an emotional rollercoaster...he can't keep getting away with this! 😭
Damn it, this made me laugh and cry. Our overly dramatic WOL and Frey just lightly waving that glow stick, man. Another amazing video in the books.
At least Ardbert can sing...unlike the Warrior of Light's La Hee disaster in Raz-At-Han lmao
Remind me of this incident?
@@dannywolfpero LA HEE
It was a deliberate Shitpost Singing.
LA HEEE
@@dannywolfpero Video "The wol sings" on this channel
Aaaagh I was not prepared for ACTUAL FEELS you MONSTER
this is awesome
Looking together silently into the distance before the end was a nice touch. Well done.
Came for a laugh. Stayed for the feels
This was golden, thank you for posting. The flask wiggle and frey was peak.
i like how you made this both a meme with the WoL's initial reactions, but its also genuinely heartwarming
Wasn't planning to be crying into my cup noodle at lunch, but here we are. Absolutely awesome BeneG!
How dare you make us cry and then laugh and then cry again. Well done Bene!
MOOOOOOOOOOOM, BENE'S DOING WEIRD THINGS AGAAAAAAAAIN!
idk whether to cry or laugh
Why not both?
We here in FFXiV would like to say: "Both"
>Mariachi band plays
Yes
Do both, duh! 'Cause I sure did.
Just got to "Endwalker" last week, when this song started playing I cried more than when I finished Annog and Konogg story
"If you need a push, I'll be right there behind you"
Inspirational words...
Should have had Myste doing the jump lights along with Fray, but still, absolutely amazing as always xD
"If you need a push ill be right there behind you."
Bro, im dead.
I see a BeneG video, I click Like before it even plays, cause I just know.
Still one of the Top 3 Moments in the entire game. 😭😭
Amazing
Beautifully done. Both laughing and crying at the same time.
Didn't need to cry to this again but I have no choice now, damn you Bene
This song still gets me every damn time...
Your Animation quality has really improved!
Amazing video!
Oohh i had a small idea what this was going to be and dang it, still crying!
"If you need a push, I will be right there behind you."
Ardbert, what a G
Another masterpiece. Thank you for all that you do. This is beyond beautiful.
That shot of them sitting on the ground back to back, it's beautiful.
every time there is a new bene g, it makes me binge all his vids again xD
Thank you for this. Merry Christmas everyone.
I'm glad you add Flay here as well/
I laughed through tears seeing Fray. 😂😢
We need our biggest hater and supporter at our time of need.
One day I'll make a Dark Knight and see why everyone likes Flay..I just dislike tanking lol
@@lchigoKurosakilevel it through FL then you can quest at your leisure. No taking involved
@@lchigoKurosaki
You can just use WT to level it, or PVP.
Still tanking isn't AS stressful in FF14 as it can be in other MMOs, and people can be pretty forgiving.
Stuck between laughing and crying through this whole video, thank you.
The feels man...I swear, I'm not crying; it's just a little something in my eye. **sobs softly**
That actually made me a little bit emotional. What a ride it was, and what a beautiful touching way to visualise that songs place in the moment. 👏🥰
Mood of the video : laught, cry, laugh, and cry finally
AHHHH THE ENDING. 😭
I'm just imagining the looks on all the ethereal, ghostly scions watching on as WoL has a mental breakdown and has his arm around an invisible person offering them a drink....
I DONT KNOW IF I SHOULD LAUGH OR CRY . IM CONFUSE
These videos are so expressive. Well done!
This was equally hilarious and completely heartbreaking
Oddly wholesome ngl
Take a sip 😂 1:55
I finally finished EW just over a week ago, this is perfect
Frey showing up was peak. It is all of our WoL bits together in that moment! Shame that they cannot canonize a 'class' for the WoL, but Frey added on that moment would've been genuine perfect for the walk.
Wasn't expecting Fray but that was a nice one! I love it!
WoL: Frey? Bro, when d'you get here?!
Fray: When your depression peaked.
Ardbert: Oh, same bro.
Thank you for remastering this iconic scene from the MSQ..
Fray with the glow stick got me i'm not going to lie. 10/10 would be emotionally attacked again.
Its the final fantasy commercial that came AFTER the video ended that made go "i need to touch some grass "
Right in the feels
On this episode of EMOTIONAL DAMAGE
Thanks to you, from now on when I hear this song, I'll be crying both from emotional and laughter.
Damn i thought you were boutta do this song dirty, but you did it god damn justice
I was listening to Kendrick, but you know I gotta drop it for BeneG
How can you resist not to sing along this beauty of a song.
This is just beautiful. Thank you. Gonna go share thig with everyone once i stop crying over Ultima Thule's bgm.
Man why you had to hit me in the feels...... I love it....
THIS MAN CAN’T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS EMOTIONAL DAMAGE.
Thank you so much for this 💖💖💖
Thank you for the laughs and feels bro.
Me expecting something silly to come in to EMOTIONAL DEVASTATION. Thanks
That was PERFECT!!!!! Bene you just keep getting more and more epic with your skills it's so cool to see :D :D
Years on, this song brings a tear to my eye without fail. I love it. And this is another such beautiful, heartfelt piece, Bene, masterfully animated. Thank you. ♥
I did burst out laughing at Fray waggling a glow stick though. Hee.
How WoL was reacting was how we _all_ reacted to the final walk... Also they didn't need to say it was Ardbert, they really didn't.. they did it to give us EMOTIONAL DAMAGE!
Imagine if when Arbdert pulled out the Mic, all he asked was “Do you know La Hee?””
The song still hits hard after all these years. Thanks Bene for this. We are still here......aren't we...
