Anyone else kind of forget about Zenos? 😡
The urianger scene. Oh god I always die during that one 🙁 it's so good.
i just finished part 6, and was sad because no more, tehn part 7 shows up o/ yey
Hey no duty fail montage! I am proud of you Brit!
As far as I remember, the Urianger scene was one of the reasons why Endwalker was delayed for an additional 2 weeks shortly before release. They wanted to get the scene right.
Weirdly enough Zenos had a point there, when it suits them Jullus was cheering for the Empire. Cheering for the use of the black rose. Cheering of enslaving the "savages". Cheering for creating weapons of mass destruction not only by Zenos or some crazed scientists but by the Empire on a large scale. An empire that was build for and by the Ascians in the end.
I think that is what Zenos meant, that there is no good or evil. Every side sucks in the end be it the city states of eorzea who treat the wild tribes (or treated) like the Garleans treated them. Be it Ishgard which build their state on a lie. Be it Ala Mhigo with their crazy king, Doma with their own problems like Yotsuyu has shown us. The reason why people dislike Zenos or don't understand him is i think cause he picks no side but rejects the concepts of society entirely. I guess in Endwalker he is the embodiment of nihilism, while we stand for hope and the final days for despair and fatalism.
I remember being in your stream for The Hug and realizing that my face must've looked exactly the same in the moment. When I got to it, I couldn't do anything but sob into a convenient pillow for the next ten minutes. My poor wife came over to check to make sure I was okay, bless her heart. Unexpected and unforgettable.
Smiling along at the lemon antics *Two Hours of fetch quests later* Cuts to Urianger in the crowd.
Oh fuck no! I'm not prepared for this scene again.
Ah, but you cut out the comment Alaise made to Zenos he couldn't respond to…
In which FF14 finally has the technology of making a hug and celebrates the occasion by making us all cry
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with this wonderful story.
What makes the hug hurt so bad is it's a very REAL representation of a family mourning the loss of a loved one. In Urianger's case he was basically son-in-law already to their family, he and Moen were very close and her parents had basically taken him in early on.
So her parents don't blame him at all for her passing, they know he loved her just as much as they did. It's such a refreshing avoidance of the trope of the parents attacking the hero over the loss of their child. Like in Heavensward where Edmont doesn't lash out at us over Haurchefaunt's death. He knows it's not our fault and his son died doing what he believed in.
Are these re uploads? I feel like I watched this reaction already but sat here and watched it again lol just love Brit!
Ohhhh I can't wait for the next episode!
Fun fact: this is the second time you see a hug in the game, the first being when Moenbryda first appears and also hugs Urianger.
Must run in the family, they have all the hug technology
The moment you hear Urianger of all people stutter you know you're gunna get hit in the feels hard
16:33 Explaining that line. He's saying that if he could find some reason why the slaughter of his countrymen was 'acceptable' Then he is nothing but a slavering beast. He's saying it's RIGHT that you should hate me. If you didn't hate me at this point. You wouldn't even be human.
People always forget that Moenbryda hugged Urianger in ARR!
"Where is this stars blasted pudding!?"
16:32 Zenos has committed terrible acts, and Jullus is asking why he would do it, as if there's a satisfactory answer to that question. Zenos responds saying why does Jullus care, would it make him no longer upset if Zenos managed to come up with a reason Jullus considers to justify the damage? Zenos is saying here that if Jullus would be okay with the carnage because he considers a reason justified, then he'd basically be a beast himself. Zenos at this point doesn't believe in or trust the reasoning of others, he goes on to state that every justification of actions has merely been a way for though who caused such actions to maintain control and absolve opposition. Zenos believes that trying to justify your actions is pointless, and that those who simply accept other peoples justifications are mindless beasts. Zenos is pure Existentialism, his ideals being that life has no inherant meaning and that the only meaning to be had is what you want it to be, he's just one who happens to want battle above all else, to him to fight and have a challenge is the only purpose in his life, and that's the lens through which he justifies his actions to himself, the only justification Zenos thinks matters.
This is why u do all side missions it reflects on cut scenes 🤩
That moment with Urianger and Moenbryda’s parents … that hella broke me down into tears.. 😢
I swear, for being such a monster, Zenos has some of the most powerful monologues throughout the entire game about people and how they operate.
the big payoff of all the people you have ever helped showing up to save the world is huge, only a longform story like this can pull it off.
We do a little crying 😭
Whenever I go through that cutscene, I always wait until it's early morning in game. Love the look of the area for that scene at that time
I love your outro song, is it available somewhere?
G'raha: "Good to see you back. How fared your journey to the First?"
WoL: "G'raha, remember how you left a working time machine on the First?"
G'raha: "…there are a lot of implications in that question, and I don't like any of them."
Oh you make ugly crying look so sweet! I was such a hideous sobbing mess from this point onwards heheh. ❤
