Why Hythlodaeus Is The Greatest Friend Ever (FFXIV Lore)



Hythlodaeus is the most selfless of all ancients, and all of his decisions serve to lift important characters in the Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker story. I hope you enjoy this discussion on why Hythlodaeus is the greatest friend the Warrior of Light could have ever asked for, including why he’s so key to one of the most powerful moments in the series.

  1. I think the devs did great in design and choice of voice actor for Hythlodaeus. The delivery of voice and demeanor helps make the character give of the sense of friendliness. He comes off as likable, calm, whimsical, and all around pleasant.

  2. is it me or does Hythlodaeus and Hades sound like a old married couple? But jokes aside, we all need a Hythlodaeus in our life, a friend who is there for you and make sure you're the best version of yourself. No wonder why Emet fell so far when Hythlodaeus sacrifice himself.

  3. I loved Hythlodaeus. I can totally understand why Emet was so broken by his death he recreated Amaurot and it’s citizens. He was overwhelmed by the pain of losing his friend that it affected the shade. Now we know why Emet wanted to return to the past to be with his friend once more.
