FFXIV | Cutscenes Before and After Elidibus, Warrior of Light 

I really like the line reading at 2:56. The confusion in the VA's reading sounds very genuine; probably the best delivery he gives as Elidibus the whole game.

"Stay strong. Keep the faith. At duty's end, we will meet again. We will. We will... The rains have ceased, and we have been graced with another beautiful day...But you are not here to see it."

The sad part is that elidibus will never know that we once were his friend in Azem.

Something that just dawned on me. The game's title is a direct link to the player character, the fourteenth.

Out of all the things that makes me bawl like a child, it is strangely the "Chronicle of the Traveler" that makes me absolutely weep upon witnessing it. And I have no idea why. Elidibus' plight is tragic, and very sad. I feel for him. He made a promise to someone to protect everyone, and now he doesn't remember why. But that doesn't make me cry, it just makes me feel guilt for having to kill him. The Chronicle on the other hand, just evokes some emotion in me that I don't understand. And that's interesting to me, because I understand myself very well. I spend a lot of my time alone, I know what emotions things make me feel, but I can't place this one. There is so much history behind that statement, so much backdrop and meaning. Azem was the pride of an adventurer, built into an Ascian. It's intriguing to me that this game can make me feel something I didn't know existed in me. I still struggle to figure out what I feel when I see that line, because even after finishing Shadowbringers last year, I watch it all the time. Again and again. Just like the first Warden vanquish in Shadowbringers at Holminster Switch, which is another scene I tear up watching, but that's mostly because I remember feeling some strange sense of relief and grand happiness that only comes with plain and simple saving the world, and the sheer spectacle of dispatching an entire sky of light to reveal the stars and darkness behind it. Thank god and YoshiP for this expansion. It was one of the single greatest pieces of media I have ever had the good fortune of encountering.

4:41 this was so accurate

Welp. When light isn't enough. Let's go dark.

I cry every time

God FF3 theme is just freakin great for every sad occasion

Sometimes, you die as a hero, or live long enough to see yourself a villain

Your character looks pretty badass, btw

6:19 *plays Giorno’s theme*

For me, this is as much like chopping onions as End of an Era or Flames of Truth are.

your wol is cool as hell

4:42 Weary Ascian, you've no live left to live. No fight left to fight

Huuuuuum...agora entendi, o Elidibus não é o Guerreiro da Luz, ele forjou heróis dos outros jogos para se fazer o protagonista do primeiro jogo, que situação, isso foi golpe baixo. Fiquei com pena do Elidibus, foi bem triste. : (

at duty's end was the aetherial sea. man this hits hard

I’m curious. If we were Azem in the old days, could we have a face symbol thing like the other Ascians, similar to the sundered ones raised to office?

They do, it's just no called prelude and it is a remix of the song.

This hit differently after the Abbysos Raids XD

I wonder how he would have reacted if we gave him the stones before he transformed. But we'd still have to fight him nonetheless

to be honest, thats not the first time the ''no fight left to fight'' comes ingame... Emet says it first

Anyone know the music name at 0:21 ? Ive ben wanting to know for so long. . .

I guess we will see during this raid tier who he swore to.

Sequel mmo could be the rejoined world could be a way start anew.

Somebody knows the name of the theme playing at 0:21?

With the big 3 dead, who all remains of the ascian?
