Spoilers for patch 5.3!! Please only watch / read comments if you're caught up that far or you're okay with being spoiled. I just needed to be able to replay this anytime, anywhere. Follow me on Twitch! / ravy_nevermore
This honestly is one of the best cutscenes in the game for animation value because iirc they worked on it while things were stalled for COVID reasons and they had extra time to just pour a ton of love and fun into animating this. 😂
After so many sad endings for characters in this game, I am so happy he got to have a happy one. After everything, he just wants to go on an adventure by your side. I swear we don't deserve him.
@@KenionatusFirst club activity, warm ups with arm wrestling. Next, psyching each other up with punches to the face. And lastly, a fight to the death!
I accept. Henceforth, I shall count myself a Scion of the Seventh Dawn. G'raha Tia, at your service. And in that moment, I wept, smiled and swooned for my lovely lovely catboy.
Can we appreciate the fact that in some parts the VA sounds like his character is acting like, overjoyed inside to finally stand by the WOL and his voice sort of breaks in that aspect and I find it cute 🥺
@@Ravy_Nevermorei’m 3 years late to the “party” (this video not the cutscene itself), but I love how G’raha goes from confident Crystal Exarch to shy kitten surrounded by his favorite heroes in like 2 sentences. You can really feel the CONFIDENCE he has into his abilities… but then is still intimidated when sitting at the “cool kids table”.
I never noticed that! I always read her little smirk as saying she was buying us time to run ahead on our own because she knew how much G’raha wanted to fight alongside the WoL, but also I may be viewing that through ship glasses. 😅
The way he first confidently speak of the Ward of the tower... Only to then stutter his way once he's out of his field of expertise. Pretty damn relatable personatly.
A detail I always find amusing is Alisae patting her chest when she talks about not "[putting] much stock in appearances". Both twins seem a little self-conscious about not hitting their growth spurts yet.
@@margotrosendorn6371 Male miqo'te have pretty expressive ears. Try /joy, /doze, /shocked, /panic. If you have /eureka, their ears perk up like G'raha's did in this scene as well as their tail. ^_^
*Adult Scions got their outfits* Adult Scions: Time to start posing. Alisaie: grumble Alphinaud: Don't worry you will get your turn eventually. Alisaie: I-it's not like I wanted to pose now or anything b-baka brother.
I was genuinely surprised the twins didnt decide to have their new outfits. But Alisaie with her original weapon Urianger gave her does make me happy :) Edit: AS OF THE NEXT EXPANSION I KNOW WHY. SQUARE BAMBOOZLED US ONCE AGAIN
@@Krysta1Rose Alphinaud's one to talk. He still summoning carbuncles at level 80! Alisae at least changed to red mage in Stormblood. *Fingers crossed we get a spellblade class*
While a lot of the story has made me teary-eyed, I legitimately wept at G'raha's grand reveal in shb and bawled my eyes out to this cutscene. Just knowing how much he missed you and how often he thought of you for so long and FINALLY being able to live out that dream just makes my heart hurt in the best way. Shadowbringers is what made G'raha Tia my absolute favorite character (with Ardbert in a very, very close second). Never would have thought that after the Crystal Tower quest line.
I was legit shrieking and I very much regret that I don't have reaction footage or I would currently be a thumbnail titled "Unhinged G'raha Fangirl Absolutely Loses Their Shit - 5.3 Spoilers"
Just experienced this amazing cutscene but I had to relive it again, I love this I love Alisae's expressiveness, and how this really feels like a cutscene and not just character models doing emotes in sequence, also ofcourse THE BESTEST CAT BOY HIMSELF
Sameee i just saw this scene like 3 mins ago!!!!!! And now to finish up ff14 patch 5.5 then taking a break.....been a long journey of playing for 2months non stop just to catch up this moment. Ff14 is one of my favorites now =3
Yup its new from the end of the newest patch! They up the animation quality beginning at the end of HW, but it really takes off in Shadowbringers content!
Meanwhile in the shadows and not disclosed to her friends. Tutarue got the blue prints and made all dat monies. Because when your building an empire, EXSTORTION! Freaking love her.
Gosh, I loved this scene so much, brings a smile to my face every time. Alisaie is an absolute mood, and when G'raha said "scions of the sevenths dawn" it's like he himself could barely believe it and contain his excitement. Love it so much
Alisaie is truly the Soul of the Red Mage, diving in fearlessly to take on whatever challenge awaits. The look of rapture on her face is simply the best -- even more so thanks to "Dawn of a New Era" kicking off as she leaps off the terrace, heedless of it being at least 20 fulms above the next level ground.
God, there's a reason he's best boi and this video clearly shows it. Although, could you exclude either his name or the fact it's the 5.3 ending from the title? I finished the 5.3 patch on time but normally this would've been a big bummer of a spoiler.
Ever since meeting him in the Crystal Tower quest till the end of ShB, I'm so happy that that he wasn't left to his fate on the First. Even if he doesn't think he's a hero, he's sure done his best to live up to those ideals!
Gawd, I freaking LOVE G’raha! He is my precious cat boy. Every time I see him do the ear wiggles I just wanna give him soft pets. Not gonna lie, I so ship him with my cat girl! 🥺🥺🥺
I like how they contrived some in-universe reason for Thancred, Y’shtola and Urianger to keep their redesigns from Shadowbringers. A lot of stories would just gloss over details like that.
I remember that before they all channeled themselves into the crystals, I was thinking "shouldn't I hold anything you'd want to bring back to the Source?" then I remembered that they spawned in without clothes, so it would make sense they disappear without them too. then apparently they've just got some extra clothes and weapons infused into their very souls.
Endwalker is amazing, but I still think Shadowbringers is my favorite expansion. It's its own self-contained story by way of happening in a different universe, so everything feels completely wrapped up by the end. This whole cutscene just reminded me of that.
It was one of my favorite scene of the game thats made me like a crybaby. Graha is a lovely figure and the directors always know how to make us happy. Graha's oath deserves an applaud
after everything is said and done, this really does become the best outcome for G'raha. While the future Exarch kinda does "steal" his younger self's body, the Exarch does have all the memories of that very self, up to our raid in the Crystal Tower and everything that happens after he seals himself away. The bittersweet moment comes from realizing that we don't get to see how past G'raha would have turned out had he not been subject to everything the Exarch went through and more or less just left the tower with us.
@@Ravy_Nevermore Well, it’s my own personal theory, but there’s one line in shb where graha and elidabus have summoned beings from other worlds to give them extra power. So it makes me wonder if that was really grahas body in the first
