Going to miss Zenos SOOOO much and Luke Allen-Gale, the VA. Just LOVE that voice sliding over my skin……………… Personally I don't BELIEVE ZENOS is dead, did ANYONE use white auracite on him ?
Sometimes we dont really need an overly complicated villain, sometimes we just want a villain that enjoys themselves by the despair and destruction they carry though their enjoyment.
I didnt expect such a cover would work.. but it suits so well.. TY for making this. This really sums up the WHOLE Zenos experience w/o the thicc and golf bag memes. TY so much.
Damn. I remember a time where so many people disliked this guy for being the blandest antagonist in the game. Felt like I was the only person who actually liked this guy even a little until now
Zenos sums up what any frenemy is. We fight against each other or with eachother it doesn't matter as long as we resonate. With each torment we strive to be better and make each other better. With the last resounding crash we'll die for eachother because the fight is beautiful and the only reason worth living. Even if right now I am completely dominated by my frenemy every time I will never stop fighting because I love it and this world is so tediously boring
ngl i hated this guy from beginning to end but i can admit he was well written. hes meant to be despised and hes perfectly ok with it..hell he welcomes it himself because its just one more tick on the checkbox of reasons to fight him
At first Zenos didn't really do much for me as a character, but the more we delved into his character and motivations as the story goes on the more I came to appreciate what he brought to the table. I felt a sense of pity for him despite his actions, never able to truly appreciate life or the things in it other than that hunt for one proper, all encompassing battle. And when he called the WoL his only 'friend', even in his own deluded ideas of what that meant, it just hit me right in the feels. I couldn't truly hate the character after that. <3 (Also his voice actor (in English anyway) is arguably one of the best in the game in my opinion. Say what you will about the character, his voice was amazing and fit him perfectly. lol)
I loved Zenos. He's a simple, complicated character. He can not help the simpleness. The man, while exceptional has lived a lack luster life. He never knew friendship or joy. How could he understand what he feels and apply it in an appropriate manner? "I have but one pleasure and it's all I have to give." (Paraphrased) Honestly he did the best he could with what he knew in how to express himself. Seeing him struggle in what should feel natural made me feel for him and appreciate his character. He wanted to share and express that one joy he has only ever known … and that was the joy of beating the absolute fuck out of someone and getting obliterated just as hard in return. It's a sad existence and a bittersweet end.
Goodbye, my dark mirror. Where everyone else wished for me to be a hero, you only wished I'd be true to myself. For as much I enjoy being the savior of the people, as much as I truly care for those I've come to call friends…
I cannot deny… That I am indeed an adventurer, merely looking for the next thrill. Thank you, my closest friend. May our reunion at the source be a clash unending.
My opinion of Stormblood Zenos: "It infuriates me that I cannot fight you without giving you exactly what you want." My opinion of Endwalker Zenos: "I acknowledge that the real reason you frustrate me is because game recognizes game. HOWEVER! Due to a certain incident in Garlemald, you need to either stay dead this time, or come back and join the Scions in a probationary role under my personal supervision, preferably with 300% more chill."
Endsinger: I will end all of reality. Soaking all in death. Nothing can withstand me. Zenos looking at you: Let us dispense with this 'distraction' you and I.
I connected so hard with Zenos and Hermes. I felt like they were the two sides of my personality, the light and the dark. And, in the end, their answers to the question, what is worth living for, I think, were so perfectly diametrically opposed. Ironically, it was the darker half, Zenos, who came to the right conclusion, while Hermes drowned in his own despair. Zenos, in his speech to Jullus, gives the "better" answer. That was, after all, what the game was all about: our answer to that question.
This was so good ;-; loved zenos as a character so much.
This is so, so very good. It sums up his character and arc so brilliantly. Also the usage of Crazy is just…[chefkiss] impeccable.
damn do you work in the movie business or something lol?
Farewell my Old Friend…My Greatest Enemy… May our next reunion scorch the very stars!
this video is AMAZING! I love Zenos so much <3
Going to miss Zenos SOOOO much and Luke Allen-Gale, the VA. Just LOVE that voice sliding over my skin………………

AAA COME BACK ZENOS!!!!!
Until we meet again my enemy, my friend.
Sometimes we dont really need an overly complicated villain, sometimes we just want a villain that enjoys themselves by the despair and destruction they carry though their enjoyment.
If Zenos in DC or Marvel, he might get himself an individual movie and this is the trailer
Men, what’s keeping you from turning into a celestial dragon and flying your significant other out to the edge of the universe to save it?
I didnt expect such a cover would work.. but it suits so well.. TY for making this. This really sums up the WHOLE Zenos experience w/o the thicc and golf bag memes. TY so much.
This editing is beautiful! Thank you for making this!!!
Sounds like Johnny Depp tho. Ah too much court footage
I honestly miss Zenos more than any other character, I cried the hardest for him. I really hope he's not gone forever…
That shot at 1:30 with that dialogue is just perfection. Great job
No youtube, I don't want to continue to the next video. I haven't given my thumbs up yet.
Excellent work! Your composition with the footage, voice lines and song are wonderful. Thank you so much for this

From childhood’s hour I have not been
As others were—I have not seen
As others saw—I could not bring
My passions from a common spring—
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow—I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone—
And all I lov’d—I lov’d alone—
Then—in my childhood—in the dawn
Of a most stormy life—was drawn
From ev’ry depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still—
From the torrent, or the fountain—
From the red cliff of the mountain—
From the sun that ’round me roll’d
In its autumn tint of gold—
From the lightning in the sky
As it pass’d me flying by—
From the thunder, and the storm—
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view—
– Edgar Allan Poe
Fantastic! Thank you! I hated him, until I finally understood. RIP My friend, my enemy.
legit looks like trailer to something epic
oh wait
It's been a pleasure Zenos.
The right thing for Zenos would've been to take away all his power, make him unable to kill himself and teach him to live.
WOW. Great job!!!
…nope. not even epic music and masterful editing can get me to think of Zenos as anything other than a mad dog that needed to be put down.
GAWD I love Zenos and Luke Allen Gale fuckin' killed it on his lines
Zenos sums up what any frenemy is. We fight against each other or with eachother it doesn't matter as long as we resonate. With each torment we strive to be better and make each other better.

1:59 In another life, another time we could be true friends, and we would shake the very ground of which the star clings
Wonderful video. Thanks.
Zenos is 90% voice
Zenos the best frenemy since the Joker
Such a masteful editing!
ngl i hated this guy from beginning to end but i can admit he was well written. hes meant to be despised and hes perfectly ok with it..hell he welcomes it himself because its just one more tick on the checkbox of reasons to fight him
COME THEN! LET US DISPENSE WITH THIS DISTRACTION, YOU AND I!

I cried tears of joy with that one.
