welcome to depression… the zone!
God dam music is perfect, execution is perfect.. Man..
I was waiting for this… from the start of your journey….
Edit: I lasted until "Strong art thou, mortal." … many tears were shed.
Yeah this was like I am already broken you dont have to shatter me more … especially that double Fortempt … the Emet Hythlo encore is the grates encore in history … also Emet is a Leaker confirmed
I hear some people say the those Elpis flowers are watered by the tears of the ffxiv playerbase.
THE FLOWERS….. ; – ; NOW I UNDERSTAND
Tears just came watching this again omg 😢
I missed this part live… Waiting so longnto see your reaction to it! Now just gotta wait for the next part ^^
25:55 "That's when it all started…That smile…That damned smile!"
When Ardbert says, “Let’s finish this” I said: “Once and for all”
Emet-Selch isn't just arguably the best antagonist in the entire media series bearing the "Final Fantasy" title, but one of the best-written characters to boot.
It also doesn't hurt matters that René Zagger turned in absolutely stellar performances thus far as Emet's VA, granting a unique personality, a theatrical flair, and yes – that damnable swagger – to a man who loved his world and its people so much that he would see himself become (what some would consider) a wretched, abominable, genocidal villain just to attempt to be reunited with those friends he lost (& sacrificed, in the case of those souls who became part of Zodiark) to the first Final Days and its aftermath.
"But more than that, the future you seek is not the past we loved. That is why we fought, and why I lost." – Hades AKA Emet-Selch, Third Seat of the Convocation of Fourteen

This is how I know Endwalker is special. It has been months since I did this myself.
And I'm still over here tearing up
I kinda love how emet's voice is gentle, after he starts speaking about the wonders that we have yet to see. He starts mentioning them after our reaction his passing. And way he speaks is encoruaging, like as if he is trying to encoruage the next generation to take up the mantle, and carry on the duty of the ancients, of Azem. Same duty which he took it upon himself once upon a time and only recently decided to hand over, after we proved that yes..While ours is a fragmented existence, perhaps it is a right one. Perhaps one needs to be fragmented to see more, to strive through hardship, to adept and learn to deal with. Deal not with the monsters, but of despair of the mankind itself, for unlike the ancients of the unbroken world, we of the fragmented existence grew in despair, knowing our days are numbered yet carrying on marking the sands, and creating a path for the next generations to carry us, the mankind ever forward.
You could say that it certainly is a new dawn for Etheirys, without the mother crystal, and zodiark—And ancients. Mankind on it's two feet, with it's destiny in their hands, and their heads held aloft. Not with pride but with wisdom that was earned from the mistakes they have comitted and overcome, together.
I heard few comparisons, but to me, Emet is one of the best villains we’ve ever faced. Our ideals clashed, we butted our heads, but he had a reason to. He was devastated in what he lost and fought for it. He did it for his greater good and most of us understood that. That line about him being defeated, but his ideals were invincible, that determination what made him an interesting antagonist.
Course, he lost someone really REALLY close, mainly Hythlodaeus. Having to suffer along, knowing his friend sacrificed himself to save the star. He really wanted his friends back. Can’t imagine what was it like for them to finally reunite after so many years and knowing that his friend finally can be at peace and not be stuck near Zordiark.
Then there’s you having to endure so much and remembering all those people that you met and your comrades being by your side again. There’s a reason why people said don’t skip the cutscenes. All that build up really paid off!
Last thing to note is Meteion. Personally, she’s a victim that was overwhelmed by negative emotions and making the song of oblivion with her sisters. When she finally cracked upon seeing the field of flowers, that burden was lifted. The finale awaits!
I told you, torcher 10 fold
Oh they played us dirty with the emotional hits here…boy, did I need a few days rest after this sequence.
From misguided antagonist to staunch ally. He's the GOAT, with a magnificent supporting performance by Hythlodaeus.
Emet Selch like "Have you seen the patch notes for 6.1? 7.0? I have."
I love how in Shadowbringers you kinda assume maybe it was the years of loneliness and resentment that made Emet a salty boi…. but no, he was just always a crusty old man lol.
So having a photographic memory is great until moments like the walk happen. I kid you not every single quote made my mind play back the scenes that they hailed from in crystal clarity (very much an echo moment to put it in perspective) and I was ugly crying the whole way.
First hearing those lyrics when G'raha sacrificed himself, I started feeling considerably emotional.
Losing the twins hit me much harder.
But 'The Walk', as it's called… and hearing Haurchefant's line… I got as far as Aymeric's line before I just had to stop and cry.
Endwalker just knew how to hit us all squarely in the feels. One way or another, Ultima Thule brought most of us to tears along the way.
Dude, why haven't you made a reaction video to DORK SOULS "Wrong Way" yet! 😨
Funny our walk starts and ends with ardbert while the story in a way started with him in HW and ended with him at shb. Ew being the epilogue to that tale. Might be loose but I liked that touch.
Also I cried so hard when hearing him first time. Took me about 20m to compose myself fully. Each time I thought I did I’d suddenly just get set off again with the music or remembering the twins or thinking about how great the story’s been and now it’s almost over. Then Ardbert again! Then when I finally got there… they hit me with Haucherfaunt. Man that was sucky a long walk. Took me at least an hour I’d say 😂
i think the implication that Ardbert's voice at the start and end of tht walks is that he's the one reminding you of all those who are relying on you. It's shown that he's still 'there', thanks to our brief moment in SoS and when we allowed him to take over our body to speak with Seto, so i think the theory has some merit. Even so i just love this part :'3 and i also believe that what was preventing us from reaching Meteion's nest by this point was our own despair, the despair of being alone, of carrying this weight that he had been sharing with the Scions and so many others. it's brief, but we nearly gave in.
Emet is a great villain simply because we are two sides of a coin doing whatever is necessary to restore and preserve our world and our loved one's. To him, we were sundered little ants fawning over what he knew was a broken and incomplete world, and we — not knowing any different — see a "megalomaniacal madman" wanting to destroy everything. In either case, it works out the same — the winner getting to keep (or get back) their world. There was no room for compromise on either side, so a fight is inevitable, and despite his methods being diabolical, you can empathize, and probably see yourself doing the same from his perspective. It's a very good case of morally grey, even though it was very obvious that there was only one way it was actually going to go.
What I like about Endwalker is that they don't put Emet front-and-center again (despite the obvious fan favouritism), but instead, you get to see more of the world he loved, how it worked, how he was before the thousands-and-thousands of lives worth of toil and torment, and all the threads come together and make you understand his side even more — especially in the Elpis finale, where they sacrifice Hythlo as the first 50% of the population to Zodiark. In the end, he bows out gracefully as something akin to an ally rather than antagonist. A very enjoyable circle.
5:34 Nobody said Endwalker would be fair, Krimson. And it isn't. It is made to hurt you.
who is the first voice before haurchefant..? I forgot :'(
