  1. Aggressive bawling noises

    Edit: Losing Papalymo was like watching my best friend die in front of my eyes. My first ever character when ffxiv released was a lancer and so I had the closest connection to yda and papalymo than any other character. I had to take a break after that cutscene.

  2. My journey has been through pain and strife. I have gained many friends,and lost precious family. But I tell you true now. If i hadn't met my friends? I wouldn't have had the courage to become what I am today. Keep pushing forward. Your happiness will come.- Dr. Zanderia Dischloski (My character)

  4. "It has been agony, and suffering, and loss. I can count each step in a friend I could not save. But it has also been redemption, and hope, and new life, and I would not trade one precious moment for all the tears that have been spilled. Rest now, Venat, for your children shall carry the light from here."

  5. i started the game with a very active FC and a lot of friends. Still have the Pics with them and me around lvl 50. But when i was halfway through Stormblood, they started to be inaktive. At the End of Endwalker, i stood there. Saved the world. Only to just return to an empty FC House. Yes my Journey was worth. More than that.

  6. “Was my journey good? It was wonderful, but it was not my journey. It was OUR journey. Though we may have only shared a small portion of it together, we did still do it together. Our friends, our foes, the kind, and the cruel. No matter how short our time together, it was still ours. No matter our divergent goals and aspirations, it was a journey we shared together. Even if our time was merely my pulling your cat from a tree, you were here with me. And, I was here with you. No matter what comes, I will carry on. I hope you will do the same. I do this for those I could not save, and for those I might yet save. I hope in time, you also share with me the reason you carry on and the reason we took this journey together.” -Selece Estibule, Warrior of Light

  8. "My journey has been a mire of pain and suffering. I never asked for this. Never asked to be a hero. All I've ever wanted was to live my life out on the waters of Vylbrand. I've lost so many people precious to me, and their absence haunts me every night. And yet, I know if given a choice, I would never trade my life for that one of peaceful passivity, idling my years away at sea. Because as I look behind me, I see the smiling faces of the people I've saved. I see the hope I've created by simply standing up in defiance. I know that every tear I've shed, every drop of blood I've lost has helped build a better tomorrow. One where I know my children and the children of my friends will be able to grow up in peace. So yes, it has been worthwhile." Dennwyda Lorenfarwyn

  9. It truly wasn't an easy journey, it was filled with regret on some day's but if I would have the chance to do it again? I would walk the same path again while doing what I always do, My very best

  10. this song/amv just highlights the kudos the folks at Square deserve, they've woven an epic story with complex characters we actually give a damn about….which is why these scenes hurt so damn much

  11. "has my journey been good, has it been worthwhile? Honestly i can not say. When i first returned to this realm, all those months ago, at the doorsteps of Gridania my Memories where hazy, i know this was "home" but why i did not know. At this point i did not know what fate had in store for me, all i wished for was to hone my conjuring Skills at the Guild.

    Who would have thought that i would end up joining the Scions, and that they would become like family to me. I would have never imagined that i would stand face to face with Primals and best them in combat, never could i have imagined i would be embroiled in a new invasion of Eorzea and best the Black Wolf Gaius van Baelsar and his ultima weapon.

    And that was just the begining, i lost people dear to me, people ireplacable to not just me, but the entire Realm, nay the entire world, but i gained so so many new companions, friends, "family" i would call some of them even. After their death, i gave up on my Conjuring staff and dedicated myself to protecting those i hold dear wholeheartedly with my Shield and Sword. I uncoverd conspiracys, and mysterys that shaked the very foundation of City states and Empires, even the World itself.

    more and more i "lost" and "gained" in equal meassures, i changed, gone was the happy go lucky adventurer and here was the Serious defender, who would rather sacrifice herself then let anymore get hurt.

    But even at the edge of creation itself, staring down in the abyss of despair, i never, EVER thought i would do anything differently. This was my journey, and whatever it was good or bad, or even worthwile, it is mine to remember, and mine to keep close to my heart.

    My name is Zera Skiratea, nothing will change that, all these experiences, these loses and gains are what made me who i am.

    So if i had to choose "yes it was worthwile""

  12. I love this video….a constant reminder of our journey to protect who we can and remember those we could not…..this song always makes me cry….seeing you and your friends at the end also brought tears to my eyes, this video is perfect Ciri. Never give up the journey dear, I certainly won't stop my own journey, no matter what hardships I face I will continue to fight

  13. "Why do i fight? Why deal with a voidsent so? Why suffer? Why not surrender myself to your 'Mercy'? It is easy I was cast out! I was unwanted! I was told I would only ever be wanted if a female found me worthy of being her mate! That is how I was raised… I wanfed none of it! So I left  I left the home and people who abandoded me. I found strength in Limsa. I found purpose with the Malestrom and the scions. I was shown friendship and compassion by Haurchefant. I thought for so long that even the scions were just using me as a means to an end! I was wrong I was their friend! I was part of their family! They were the ones who stopped me from being like Zenos! I simply wanted for power and battle before them now I just want them back. I want to hear the twins bicker. I want to hear the long winded prose of Urianger. I want to see Stola pouring over tomes. I want to hear the confidence in Thancred's voice. I want to hear Raha ask to go on adventures together. I want to hear the sound of Estinien's armor as he leaps into the fray alomg side me. They are why I fight! They are what I suffer for! Yhey are why I came here to the ends of the universe. I came here along side them and now you took them from me! I WANT THEM BACK!"
