No matter how hard I try to re-watch this scene, I ended up teared up and nose cloged hard, no game really made me cry this multiple times with one scene before And it's effects stronger when I watched it as someone felt emotional along witn me lmao
I think it's seriously the best cutscene in the entire game. There are only very few that I have on this level, but this is the one that ties together and recontextualizes EVERYTHING, which hits so hard if you've been playing for a long time.
Finally, a reaction video that I watched that gets it, the music gives so much context and pain to this scene... that watching it without crying seems just crazy to me. I feel so vindicated by you actually feeling something super intense from this
I consider this to be the turning point not just of the expansion, but of the entire game. When all the plot threads and conflicts finally resolve and come together.
I'd just lost my mom to brain cancer just a few days before early access opened so I threw myself into EW as a distraction and HOLY CRAP THIS SCENE HIT LIKE A TON OF BRICKS.
Voice of Aymeric and Kan-E-Senna (and singer of the Heavensward parody theme) here! Glad you had fun! We (the cast and crew) always like watching reactions to these videos. Let us know if you do more!
Me as I watch this depressed laying in bed: Venat: To find the strength to continue, when all strength has left you. To find joy, even as darkness descends. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 This gave me strength to finally get out of bed and do some stuff
I don't have much sympathy for Emet-Selch at that point in his timeline. But MAN can you imagine the absolute soul-deep HORROR he felt seeing Venat coming for him? All of creation and there is ONE person who is not going to accept a single justification or equivocation about what he's doing.
Everytime I hear this version I still tear up a bit... So many artists I've followed for years coming together just brings the chills. The FF14 community is amazing because of stuff like this.
doesn't get any easier to hear Edmont without crying due to the VA died a couple years ago T-T also, "the future you seek is not the past we loved" is such a good line
I started and finished Elpis in one go, it was late night (or early morning) when I got to this scene. I think I was in shock , because actual emotions came to me later, when I couldn't sleep for the remainder of the night. I did cry during this cutscene, but it was nothing compared to the aftermath, when I actually comprehended what and how it was, for Venat, for the everyone, and how it all went with "Answers"... I can't hear "Answers" without shedding tears now. I hate you, YoshiP, and love you so much.
I was very happy to see you were in the celebrity raid. I first saw it in Kougans channel. Jesse Cox was the first YT creator I subbed to a decade ago. Seeing you next to him gave me warm and fuzzy feelings. I really hope you all do this again in the future.
