Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the wonderful comments about the video, I'm genuinely so touched ❤ I learned a lot from when I made my Tomorrow & Tomorrow video and poured my heart into this, thank you so much for watching!

Thanks for making me cry again :DDD seriously
All the scions have their reasons to fight, to forge ahead, to endure. However the one I latched onto in my darkest hour wasn't a scion yet.
I came back in ShadowBringers, seeing an expansion that deviated from the obvious story of Zenos and the war with the Garleans. I was defeated, deflated, and yet I still played through it. I even changed my hair after we were suffering from so much infused Aether, trying to hold onto any shred of personal enjoyment. What hit me hard though was the Exarch. A man being eaten by his own magic, still fighting on and doing what was right. Not just for the good of the world….but in the end, to save us, and to see us go adventuring together, like we promised.
Once he joined the Scions, and seeing his excitement and pure enjoyment for the adventure, it reminded me why I picked up FF14 to begin with. the brand new adventure in a new world, seeing new things, meeting new people, fighting the good fight not because of my level or my gear, but because it was fun. I gave Zenos my answer, and it was like a dam broke, I understood why I wanted to fight him all that time, and he was elated right along with me. Even now as I write this I'm tearing up.
Thank you, Jadey. Thank you for reminding us all in your tribute, of our reason we forge ahead.
The tears coming around all over again. I remember binging the entire game from Summer of 2021 to Endwalker release. That final scene after Endwalker left me so satisfied, but empty. I spent a lot of time thinking about life, and how much of it we let slip by.
Well come
THIS is beyond Perfect! Thank you for a beautiful job & showing us your beautiful soul! FFXIV is my favorite MMORPG of all time! Liked & Subbed, keep up the great work! 😉
Always….
I will always treasure this journey.
The good and the bad.
@jadey Amazing work!! very impressive, Ive watched hundreds of player made videos and made a few of my own, this is one of a few i was impressed by. keep up the great work!
i wonder where ff14 goes from here as someone who started when asmon began i cannot fathom how much the game helped me through dark times
Absolutely beautiful. The tears came back all over again. Thank you for putting together such an amazing tribute to an amazing story.
Final Fantasy has been a game where, no matter what, no matter the breaks and the length of them. I always returned too it, and it always felt like I was coming home. It's been like that since I started playing in heavensward. And Endwalker is the culmination of that journey, and perfectly ruined me into an emotional mess. Flooding me with Nostalgia, memories of my journey's, the friends I've made. And how the story has not only touched me, but helped me in some way, heal my traumas to a degree. I'll never forget what it felt like to play an expansion, that perfectly capsulated my 8 year journey. And honestly, I look forward too it again in 10 years, when the final expansion to this new story, once again, emotionally ruins me.
What an awesome job you did editing and summarizing so many of the best moments of the latest expansions. So many tears shed. And still I can't stop revisiting those moments. Thank you
Beautiful.
This game has given me so much. Having struggled years with severe health problems, I can't do sports nor work. For so long free time, which I have had a lot, seemed meaningless as it has been accompanied with constant struggle with the illness. FFXIV has been an important way for me to escape that sense of absurdity. This is also why Endwalker felt so amazing. It touched topics which I could so deeply relate to; struggle, suffering and finding meaning regardless of the two.
very long shot, but what shade are u using for gshade? Looks very pretty!
Thanks I cried my eyes out ❤🩹
This is genuinely lovely. well done.
Missed emet on the video right before meteion fight
I never expected to be so emotionally invested in a videogame story. Least of all an MMORPG's story. Words cannot adequately explain the experience.
My journey has been good. It has certainly been worthwhile.
Should make a hildibrand one aswell that moment Gigi calls him papa hildy 😆
nice
I am greatful for the tribute you gave to Papalymo, I felt during EW that he was completely neglected, and I was sad about that. So thanks for including him in this amazing video!
Well done.
After Endwalker, one thing I knows “ memory is very important”
This is such a beautifully done tribute to this game. Our answer is as it ever was: it was worthwhile, Venat. Everyone we meet along the way makes it so.
When battling the endsinger and the cutscene of all of them praying played, all i could think was, the long journey that was walked, from the powerless little team that prayed at the time louisoix had to sacrifice himself, to the scions that carry the weight of the future, from a prayer started a long journey and from a prayer it ended.
i just cried for 20 minutes straight, thank you for reminding me how much i love this game
I'm not crying.. you are.
Thank you for sharing this gift with us. Forge Ahead, always ❤
Not even ashamed to admit I was teary eyed for the entire 20 minutes.
This game is so incredibly special to me and Endwalker's undertones and themes about; mental health, hopelessness, hopefulness, forging ahead… All of these messages came at a very much needed time in my life.
This game will never be dethroned as my all time favorite.
Playing the game and watching the story did not bring me such emotions, as this video did. Maybe i was not immersed enough, or i just refused to be immersed due to my character. Thank you for this video, for it made me think of all the story so far, and realise what all of this was about, and enjoy the story much more than i did before.
This tribute is so beautiful thank you for this it’s really amazing the editing is perfect . Yes venat my journey was worthwhile tho we lost many along the way it was there strength and sacrifice that helped us save our star every part of this journey was well worth it we truly forged ahead
I’m not crying you’re crying
The part with Moenbryda's parents broke me. She was a good character. She went way too quick. Who know this game would become so great.
If not for the altering of their memories, i wonder if emet selch would have come out as more a hero then villian
this one hurt… thank you for making this
I come back to this video like once a month. You managed to grasp the heart of the story so damn well and I thank you from the bottom of mine to allow me to reexperience the story and the feels in just 20 minutes :). Really well done!
I literally watch this when I need to feel or when I’m in my feels please oh please I can not wait for dawn trail tribute. This game the community the very best. I am not alone I love you all and please forge ahead no matter the cost
This broke me. Thank you.
I'm not crying, you're crying!
Why must you hurt me?
To answer Venat's question…We are far from done ^w^
After years of this video being out I still come back to it and just remeber everything in my own life as well as FFXIV. I still cry everytime. Thank you so much for making this!
How dare you make feels things. My face seams to have sprung a leak
Now that Endwalker’s final days are here, I can’t help but feel melancholy. We all went through so much during this expansion, and when Dawntrail comes it will all be a far off memory…
And yet, the journey will forever be etched upon us. Our answer to the question, the hope that prevails against deepest darkness, a battle amidst the stars to bring salvation…thank you, Endwalker, for being all you truly needed to be. We won’t forget you, even as we move on to our new adventure.
very beautiful and well done!
