Definitely one of the best gaming experiences for me. Playing through the game, getting all that build up and the reveal of the Ascian's real goal behind their actions was just… breathtaking. I really felt for Emet and that made it such a bittersweet ending for me. Despite everything he's done, seeing his smile at the end entrusting you with the legacy of the Ancients' and remembering them, finally freed of the burden he carried for so long… I can't help but love him as an antagonist. He needed to be stopped, but I will always remember him as some kind of old friend.
Best thing, though, is how it doesn't end here and it just keeps getting better. I already can't wait for your reaction to 5.3 😀 I recommend reading the "Tales from the Shadows" shortstories, when you finished 5.3 btw, they're awesome.
One correction I want to address. The Exarch’s summoning of the other 7 players weren’t sundered souls of you. It’s as he said. They are “champions beyond the rift.” They’re summoned from other worlds, same as you. Doesn’t make it any less cool though. This final battle was quite good.
This did really change my outlook in MMORPG. I was a PvP guy but I discovered there are other ways to get immersed and perhaps feel deeper connected with the game and the community.
What a fantastic, emotional, heart-filling expansion…and Emet, undoubtably, is one of the series best Villains. God, this game just keeps getting so much better with every addition.
Good job, my dude – this has been an especially good playthrough, and I shall continue to witness Luna's rise to further greatness! <3 And now…to continue watching with my snacks, coffee and goofy-ass grin of approval!
It's been awesome watching your videos, especially since you fill in the blanks with your own dialogue, which just works so well. 🙂 I hope you continue to enjoy the following patches, cause the feels keep coming.
Remember Minfillia's quote to Ardbert? "When all hangs in the balance, You must give them hope" 1:17 The first time i saw this when Ardy shows up it finally dawned on me what that quote meant. Minfillia knew all along what Ardy was meant to do which in turn made me think did Minfillia knew who/what Ardy was from the beginning? So much deep lore that could be interpret in so many ways which is why this game can 'mind blown' so often.
What do I say about the ending of 5.0? What CAN I say? Hot damn, the heart swells.
Oh, one minor note that someone pointed out to me in the past – you know how when you fight a new boss, they always have some title that appears over their name onscreen, like 'Cthonic Riddle, Therion' or 'Lightwarden of Rak'tika, Eros'? Hades doesn't have that. Just like he said, he did away with titles and pretense. No Warrior of Light or Darkness, no Ancient Avenger or Guardian of the Dead. Just you…and him.
Been so awesome to see you go through the whole journey to get here. Glad seeing how much you've enjoyed it.
Oh, and I hope we'll get to see your reaction to the Eden Raid questline, since that continues the story with Ryne and Thancred you saw at the end there.
It's a testament to the character writing, that they consistently showed Emet Selch slouched over until after we defeat him. The burden gone, he stands straight for the first time.
Love your videos! You should really do the fights on minilvl though just so you can experience the fight as we did when it released 🙂 you guys are heavily overgeared for this now
Man, what a wild ride! Its been a pleasure to watch your adventure and I'm so so glad you enjoyed the story. Can't wait to see your reactions to content coming up. 5.3 is extraordinary.
Thank god you cheeky bastard, I almost thought I would have to wait another week for the conclusion 😉
Oh finally the fun begins again! Also my favorite stinger as I like to call the "Change in management" with the Empire.

29:39 Y'shtola was right, he did wash up to the shore XD she even looks over at him XD
You got your wish. You get to fight “with” Ardbert and get that W.

One chapter closes as another opens. As stated before, we're not going anywhere. Let us know when you want us on the next parts of your journey!
You and Ardbert are one, now. Every one of your wins from here on out will be another for him.
I loved your reactions, especially to the "I am Hades." Line. And that maniacal laugh, omg. 10/10
Minor nitpick… it's dying gasp, as in last breath of air. More specifically it's also his last gasp as in last words.
Tip, you can mash any button on your keyboard instead of trying to click.

=)
i told you the way back is by swimming
Now… you need to get to 5.3… And Albert is now always fighting with you… He is part of you 😉

29:38 Urianger's here in the water, at the lower left corner of the screen.
Thinking back to your first introduction thereof, hearing you cheerfully yell, "FEO UL!" was cathartic.
Also, did you not notice Urianger down in the bottom left in the last beach shot?
Either you die a hero, or live long enough to become the villian.
Thanks for posting this one so quickly. I've enjoyed the hell out of watching your journey.
And you aren't even to my favorite part of Shadowbringers yet. 😀

I saved a xenoglossy for every time he yells Sorcerer of Eld, and let him have it right to the face! I love your fire, 14/10 sir!

Emet came the way he went, in Gunblade range. 😉
congrats, brother! Welcome to post Shadowbringers!
I will definitely be around as you continue on
