Heavensward: the vault ending, Haurchefant scene reaction. Oh gosh, the tears were rolling in this one. This moment really got me in my feels 🙁 I didn’t expect this at all. I’ll miss my good friend Haurchefant
In this series, I follow the main quest storyline of FFXIV for the first time. This is a playthrough series, so there’s a lot of content yet to come…

Count Edmont's VA was on point
Sad fact: Not only the spear attack in "that" scene gives healing debuff, but Alphinaud's healing spell (of which the act was actually added a couple patches ago because people most likely complained about no one originally using healing spells) wouldn't help anyway because it's only meant to help the body regenerate faster, it has no effect on mortal wounds.
Also I feel you, I had this quest spoiled long before I went through it, but seeing the actual scene actually devastated me. TWICE when I heard Edmont.
I'd love to know how others experienced this moment… did you get emotional too? I was holding myself together until Count Edmont started crying TT
FYI, "gaol" is just an archaic spelling of the word "jail" and pronounced like "jail."
Haurchefant's death was rly sad but I didn't cry.. but the thing broking me was the talk with his dad after it.
Hell! I cried like a baby^^'
the scene with lord fortemps gets me every time… even though the german version hits me harder in that scene
Everybody cries for Haurchefant.
You should try the Classic Spectacles headpiece as a glamour, it think it would fit you.
I love seeing the reactions WoW converts have to that scene. Especially ones that lived WoW for a long time. Seeing people introduced to the concept that a video game can actually have a solid and meaningful story after having played a game that has always treated its story like an afterthought is fun.
And believe me, this game isn't done tugging at those heart strings yet.
Yeah Edmont wrecked me. Good vid!
We are all emotional vampires waiting for this point. If Haurchefant doesn't get you seeing his father collapse does.
I was sobbing at this part. I agree that the part with Count Edmont really drove it home. I was thinking when you said he was one of your favorites in some prior episodes … oh boy, poor girl is going to suffer ….
"oh don't play the sad music now!"
also, he brought us hot chocolate
rear and flank – if the targeting circle is broken, the rear is the place where the circle is missing, the flank is 90 degrees on either side. If the targeting circle is unbroken, your positional work from any position.
Other thing to note though, when handling a bunch of small enemies your aoe attacks will definitely beat single attacks at 3+ enemies hit, some classes and some level ranges at 2+ enemies. And none of the aoe attacks have positional requirements (and of course, its only the melee dps classes with positionals in the first place)
After all these years, his death still gets me.
The "my son" just destroyed me 😭. On the lodestone there is some extra backstory that you should check out after you finish heavensward c:
This might be the only time in a video game I've ever felt such grief for a character
HAURCHEFANTTTTT 😭😭😭😭😭 It's painful again 😭😭😭
.
especially with Count Edmont too 😭😭
This part of the game will never not destroy you. Thank you for playing
I don't think I can actually stand to watch your actual video, but I will comment. This scene was probably the first time I actually have to physically remove myself from a game, get my emotions in check, and then go back. It was completely unexpected, it was heartwrenching, and it still gets me. I literally sat there after the scene just emotionlessly staring at my computer screen. I didn't say anything. I was playing with my partner at the time, he was on PS4. I didn't say anything to him either, even though he was right behind me. After a few minutes I said, "I'm going to go take a shower", so I did. I got up from my computer, took a shower, and I SOBBED. I can't tell you how long I was in there, but, I cried the entire shower. After I got out, I don't think I touched the game the rest of the time. I then proceeded to cry on and off the the next THREE DAYS because of just how devastated I felt. Battling the Knights of the Round at the end was perhaps the most dissatisfying boss I have ever faced in a video game because not only were they pathetically weak, but, I wanted more out of the fight. I wanted to get that revenge for Haurchefant, for his family. Instead it felt like a hollow victory, but, maybe it was intended to be that way. Getting through the post-Heavensward stuff was a slog after that. In terms of storytelling, the FFXIV crew knew exactly what they were doing with this expansion. I really need to actually get to and through Shadowbringers and Endwalker, because I have heard they're just as incredible.
I was waiting for this. >:)
Welcome to Heavensward.
I wanted to write something here, but all my words changed to "Smile Better Suits a Hero"…
I wasn't as much of a fan of Haurchie as you, so his death didn't hit me as hard, but bearing the news to count Edmond hit me like a truck.
The pain of a parent losing their child must be unbearable, and Edmonds VA delivered perfectly.
When he came to join us in the previous fight I cheered with my best friend. "Of course it'll be alright, he's here! No one loves us like he does!" and then the nod on the bridge, I called out, "That's right, bestie, together!"
… I didn't see it coming. I sobbed. I still mourn him two expansions later and still wear House Foretamps jewelry in memory of him and my black Chocobo and I go save the world together for him.
😍👍
