  1. The amount of memories that brought back. I’m crying, I’m so scared but also SOO curious what’ll happen in Endwalker. It has been such a great journey, I’ve never played a game with a better storyline, I feel such a connection with our friends in the game. Everything that has happened got such a great impact on the entire game. It’s honestly insane. I started playing FFXIV exactly a year ago and I never had a dry eye at the end of every expansion. It’s insane how much this storyline has impacted me.

  2. Okay, I found this days ago and keep returning, I have to comment, at first I was like "Is this a dramatic video using take on me? There's no way this works, how odd. I wasn't negative, I just didn't see how something that in it's original form was so removed from drama could work. However, this video is fucking immaculate. Your editing, timing, audio balancing, everything was perfect, and I say this in all sincerity, I get chills part way in when the music swells with the visuals. You did absolutely incredibly and should be very proud!

    EDIT: Oh woops I edited to fix a typing mistake and it removed the little heart from my comment, well thank you, and I'm happy you got to see this! <3

  3. This was simply beautiful. It was a great reminder of so many epic moments we’ve ALL had in this fantasy world. And not just in ShadowBringers, but A Realm Reborn, Heavensward and Stormblood too! You’ve done an OUTSTANDING job of reminding us of that with your video and makes me even more excited to see what awaits us in Endwalker. Thank you, and may you ever walk in the light of the Crystal.

  4. Oh man this is rife with emotions but the scene of Ardbert going back to his friends in the Crystarium cutting to us returning is always a scene that makes me CHOKE. Amazingly put together!

  5. Holy shit your editing skill are amazing. It takes great patience, great empathy, and a deep heart to understand emotion and capture it like you have. People have no idea how much patience and skill it takes to edit like this. Amazing!

  7. I clicked on this video expecting a meme. What I got instead was pure, refined, perfection. And I have never been happier to be pleasantly surprised by a video like this! To all my fellow Warriors of Light, I hope to see you in Endwalker!

  8. "The rains have ceased and we have been blessed with another beautiful day– but you are not here to see it." – Elidibus … The way the voice actor, Matt Stokoe, expresses this with such an ache in his voice… it brings me to tears. The moment is crushing.

  9. Watched this before finishing Heavensward. Hadn’t heard many of the lines. As I come back to this through my journey, each time becomes more heartbreaking than the last as I start to get more and more context. By the end of my journey through Shadowbringers, this might make this hurt all the more. Well done.

  10. There are many words in the English language that I could use to describe this, only one does it justice: perfection. I have been listening to this for two now three days straight. Thank you for making this you fantastic human being!

  12. I can't say how much I adore how well you balanced all the characters- people so often ignore moenbryda, but where she was in the story and how it struck me was very impactful for me when I first played. Now, in endwalker, even more so.
