Definitely one of the coolest scenes in the entirety of Shadowbringers. Gotta admit the soundtrack here bangs so much.

I always interpret the "remember us" as both all of the ancient people and the relationship between Emet and Azem. This always, always brings me tears. It can't be easy to lose a friend/loved one, and/or, even worse, see him/her alive and then realize that your friend/loved one no longer remembers who you are, what you used to have.
Man, I really, really love how the developers treated Emet-Selch as a character and as one of the chief antagonists of the entire setting. Rather than him just being evil through choice or evil through a lack of empathy, he's portrayed as a tragic monster who is himself a victim of circumstances. Sure, he still chooses to commit atrocity after atrocity, but it's also quite understandable that the trauma of seeing his world sundered, his people's struggles in vain, his paradise destroyed and forgotten, his entire civilization erased, and the only way for him to restore it being those very atrocities…yeah, it's no no wonder he is the way he is. If there was a better way, he'd have gladly gone for it. But he's so lost in his grief, in his outrage, in his loneliness, that he cannot accept the path of just letting the one hope he has of restoring his world go forever, that he cannot accept that his world and people are dead and forgotten and move on.
This also makes him being so accepting and amicable with his ultimate death believable–once it's clear that there is zero chance of his dream coming to fruition, he only asks that you remember his people, his world, and dies with a smile, because he ultimately doesn't bear any real malice towards the people of the post-sundering era, and so even if they're pale shadows of what his people were, they're still A legacy, a small light in the darkness of despair.
And even if he never really admits it, his time with the Scions and Exarch DID affect him. He finally had people he was fully open and honest with, including about his past and his lost people. And the Scions understood and sympathized with his loss and his reasons. In essence, he died knowing that there were still people who knew him, who sympathized with him and his cause, who understood all that he'd lost and wished there was some way to bring them back without being at the expense of everyone and everything else.
