I think the thing I was most impressed with was the camera work and direction in this story. It helped emphasis so many moments and made them all the more powerful from the horrifying words of Meteion’s truth that she found amongst the stars, to the desperate attempts of all those trying to stop their fate, all the way to their victory of escape and Venat’s resolve as she became Hydaelyn and so much more after this part of the story.
I never noticed the first time given how powerful and enraptured I was in the story but now that I see them again I can see how much effort they put into their craft for storytelling. Even subtle choices like Meteion walking slowly towards the others as the camera follows behind her only for that same camera to fall behind slowly to create as much distance as possible while observing her emphasizes the fear she brings forth with her words and new found idealism alone.
God I’m just remembering the many years that I’ve played this game and how simple everything was and now that we’ve reached the final FINAL CLIMAX of this story arc how much work and effort and time they put in to get where we are now with just the presentation alone. This doesn’t even talk about all the amazing qualities I’m just talking about camera work here. But by god they really did hit this one out of the park!!~
One of the most outstanding scenes in the entire FFXIV story. Hearing Meteion's speech sends chills down my spine. I still think about some scenes in EW despite clearing it days ago. This is also the best expansion FFXIV has made hands down.
As much as I loved this scene and all. Why didn’t emet just… fly through the confluence too? Instead he spent 3 minutes monologuing. These ancients have no sense of urgency.
The sad part is, in some round-about way Meteion is doing what she was made to do. Hermes didn't give her the ability to eat, she has free will(to an extent) but she doesn't live. And she knows what emotions are, bit she can't express them, that's why even though she was hurting in a sense, she needed us, the player, the change the color of the Dynamis flower to show Hermes.
If you recall, Hermes said Meteion was made so that people can understand each other. And in meeting all those failed and dead civilizations, she's fulfilling her purpose in making Etheiryans understand sorrow and despair.
Yoko taro has had way too much influence on the FFXIV writers
When meteion started reporting on all dead worlds it was incredibly kino moment
when i was in the zone doing quest someone said they wanted to adopt meteion and she better not be killed off
This part caught me off guard. Well that and the scenes beforehand. Like wow. Well well well done.
What is the name of the song @ 4:00
If only they would add Meteon as a race. Harpies are cool
Someone needs to upload that menacing song with no other sound. It’s so much better than the Sin Eater theme
I know it supposed to be a melancholic moment, but hearing Emet’s voice actor deceivery on his condition had me laughing out of my chair.
They moved Yoko Taro from designing a raid to the writing team I see
Hello Fermi Paradox!
meteion reminds me of killian from tera o:
Anyone know the name of the first theme? Its driving me mad not knowing.
My heart shattered when Emet told us not to squander the legacy
Welp we know what the next race will be lmfao

"Remember, Remember us" from Emel Selch has another meaning now after this scene from Endwalker
Hythlodaeus is the best character in Endwalker
I had a feeling this would happen but my heart was torn into pieces when Meteion turned…
They found…Despair itself, that hit me deep, the song which she is talking about which was the sound they heard before being filled with fear.
I need this song

Is it just me or did Emet and Hyth realize at the end that we were the Azem they currently know all along?
