FFXIV - Papalymo's Moment | Omega vs Shinryu 

Yda: don't you dare Papalymo! I know how that spell works! Papalymo: it's the Lyse I could do

I still love how closely Papalymo's sacrifice here mirrors Louiseux's at Cartenau. Right down to the smile of satisfaction.

"Quite right! Quickly, now! Off you go! The further away the better!" you can hear how scared he is in this line.

He was the person I wanted to die least. My little lala friend :( been with me since I started in Gridania. I still miss you Papalymo. Like Lyse said I will make you proud

Woah, I didn't realize it then, but him saying "I bid thee farewell AGAIN, my dear Yda," is hinting at the thing. You stormblood people know what I'm saying.

May we never forget Potato Jesus

You know Omega is a gamer because he used Arm's Length to counter the Tidal Wave knockback from Shinryu instead of going near the wave.

When this first came out, as soon as i heard the eerie "Answers" playing i started to bawl. I've played since 1.0 and all the memories of the final days before the calamity struck flowed back from then. I was bawling and started yelling "NO NOT ANOTHER CALAMIITY", i didn't even realize papalymo was dead until after that.. ;v; RIP dear friend..

He smiled. Just like Louisouix did. Oh, my heart. I cried at this when I first played it, and even now, I get choked up.

This right here is why you don't just throw magic eyes into pits.

Imagine summoning Shinryu only for it to become Zenos' pet

Started playing FFXIV earlier this year and now in post stormblood but this scene shows three things to me 1. Papalymo saying goodbye to Yda again 2. He really was Louisiox’s greatest student 3. Of all the Scions we lost thus far, he was the only one to go willingly by his own hand and not the hand of another During Stormblood I found myself saying to the screen when speaking to Yda that Papalymo would be proud of her

This part made me cry so much, Heavensward itself made me cry throughout the whole expansion.

Louisouix's Finest Pupil. :`(

I'd imagine hearing that muffled version of hydaelyns voice would put the scare in anyone who played 1.X

The voice acting in this scene, especially from Yda and Papalymo, was excellent. It really added to the sadness of the moment.

At first I didn't want to believe that Papalymo was gone, that he would somehow show up within the post Stormblood quests. But here I am nearly done with Stormblood's patch quests and it's becoming more and more apparent that both of the friends that introduced me to the Scions back in Gridania are fucking gone.

5:12 When you hear Answers and suddenly wonder if the world is about get reset... Again. And this song, so freaking haunting.

Good I'm happy you refused his request to leave. I did as well and ejoyed that he blasted my ass back.

5:07 As a newcomer to 14, I knew about the calamity that destroyed the world once...And man, just hearing this earie music in the back ground was god damn chilling. I didn't know what was going to happen and it made me REALLY invested in what was about to happen next.

Papalymo You'll never be forgotten, old friend.

Every time I watch this, it always ends with me bawling my eyes out. On both of my characters, I've never taking off "The Finest Pupil's Ally" as my title, and I never will. Your sacrifice wasn't in vain, Papalymo. We got him.

Papalymo finally got a decent voice actor and then immediately died 🙂

The haunting hymnlike soundtrack makes the whole scene feel powerful

When I was playing this I literally screamed “NO! WE JUST GOT HIM BACK!!”

Watching this post Endwalker really puts Omega vs Shinryu in to perspective considering how they wound up where they did.

I love how Omega is quickly attacking by throwing missiles just the moment Shinryu emerges, showing how "heartless" it is

My literal reaction to this scene: "Papa no, papalymo nooooo, noooooo pls, pls, pls, dondothis nodontdothisdonot... no... noooooooooooOOOOOOOO... papalymo... my buddy... no...

I didn't even play FFXIV during 1.0 and I understood the meaning and chill of Answers playing.

Omega shows up like "Dragons. I HATE dragons."

*Refuse To Leave* *Somehow get knocked back* "DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiickkkkk.............."

Thancreds expression when he's told to carry Yda away. Man. :(

I’m a new player and this cinematic from everything that’s happened sticks out to me the most. I felt so involved lol and I was sad for ilberd, but also very mad at him. And when raubahn said I’ll get ala migo for you ilberd I just….-takes breathe-

These two been beefing since Final Fantasy 5 its never going end

Ilberd's dubbing is so underrated. It is so goooood.

It never ceases to give me chills whenever that haunting "Answers" starting to play. Also I thought they are re-summoning Bahamut somehow the first time I played it

I remember the wait after this happened was agonizing. So long seeing that blue moon in the sky just reminding us of papalymo before they dropped the next bit of story before we had to wait for Stormblood

I'm still waiting for paaplymo to return

My big bro was watching the cutscene with me, I decided to make myself cry more with playing the song "Anwsers" while the cutscene played. When hydalyn said "WAAAR without strife" it was on beat with papalymo raising his staff In the air. instead of crying more, me and my brother screamed from how on point it was. The song was also perfect because it matched what louisoix did in the Anwsers video.

>tfw you don't Arm's Length in time

Oh it’s been forever since I’ve seen rogue thancred

To the end he kept giving the ladies a reason to call him daddy-lymo.

Its been years and I thought I was over this, but a certain side quest in Old Sharlayan caught me off guard and brought all this back.

My favorite character of the ff14. I cry everytime i see his sacrifice. Why did they have to sacrifice my beloved Papalymo. I miss him dearly and can't stop crying when i think about him. You are my hero Papalymo!

2021 and I still come back to this and cry.

It hits different when you started out in Gridania

Farewell, you best little popoto ;(

Ilberd, you damn bloody fool...

My boi is up there with Donald Duck now.

I remember this. I cried in 3 different languages:(

This still hits me in the feels 😭

That fight was just before Omega's cup of coffee in the morning ironically. Shinryu got really lucky. haha.

Playing his scenario in Opera Omnia made me love him all the more.

S L O P P Y !

Ok the dub for this is actually really really good. my god.

Ilberd out here chewing scenery like its Hubba Bubba. What a great villain.

This game made me cry so much

I miss Papalymo so much...

Imagine the bards' tales that these events would inspire.

does anyone know the name of the ost after this cut scene when yda was talking to everyone

I strongly believe this should've been a cinematic with strombloodpart been the second half.

I now realise that the theme that plays is the exact same theme that played during 1.0 around the time Dalamud was going to fall on eorzea

Whats the sounddrack from 4:40 beginning? The female Voices ? Someone knows?

Lalafell, tiny in size, but no limit to their courage.

This entire cutscene is abso-freaking-lutly AMAZING!!! One of the best videogame sequences of all time! I love that sound effect heard when we see Papalymo's shining smile of absolute self-certainty! Not an ounce of regret for what he has chosen!

Good effort, Omega.... but go and hide while I take care of Shinryu properly, mmkay?

I only knew Papalymo from FFRK, and now you’re telling me he’s dead? =\

I miss this dude.

It's been awhile since I watched that first part. I'm happy to have started in Gridania and to have joined the Flames to have felt just a little bit closer to Yda, Papalymo, and unwillingly, Ilberd, too

Guess you can say Papalymo had his...shortcomings. eh? Eh? I know too soon. I went to dungeon and said joke as mch. Healer said "YOU GET ONE REGEN FOR THAT MAKE IT LAST" Was a fun run. Not gonna lie, the voice acting for this seen was glorious. I knew i was in for a feels train, but underestimated how much so. I wanted to kill this guy since end of ARR, but damn. Never expected this. HW ended with a bang and i had never been so quick to buy dlc/expansion to find out what happens next. I dont think i ever enjoyed an MMO story like this amd highly recommend anyone who wants to try. Also love the dreary version of Answers that played at end of 1.0 it was a fantastic way to make you dread what was going to happen.

Can't wait to go through this content in NG+

I'm still upset I can't seem to find a papalymo tribute

Only got to this part last night. What a powerful scene.

I didn't believe it, I kept expecting him to come back like we see characters do all the time. Imagine my disappointment when I realized he wouldn't be coming back. Took me a long time to accept it

whats the theme in this trying to fidn the song

Rest In Piece Fellow Gridania Lalafell!

This scene made me cry on many levels and screwed with my head for about an hour

This whole sequence is so damn good

I’ll always remember Papalymo 😢 The bravest lala 😭

Just noticed that the same ambient, eerie music that played in the final hours of FF 11 is playing in the background. Amazing.

As soon as I heard Bahamut's theme, I freaked out knowing we were screwed.

Papalymo is the GigaChad of the Scions

Omega was playing with his food XD

All the farthest I got was where can u do trials for the aura Ra ppl in the steppe stopped there lvl70 smn too😥😥 quit was forced

I think scene , along with Ysayle, is the most i've cried in FF14

What's the name of the music at 1:36 ?

Is there an ost for this version of Answers? Been dying to find it

Omfg has it been that long sense I did this?? I feel like I just ran through it but it’s past 2 years ago..... ff14 never cease to amaze me love this game

You know I hate to make his sacrifice seem like it was in vain but man this just created even more problems in the long run. We weren't initially allowed to engage Shinryu because we assumed he was even stronger than Bahamut. So we used Omega which led to a borderline nuclear explosion when he clashes with Shinryu. On top of that we just ended up having to fight an even stronger Shinryu who clearly wasn't as powerful or as destructive as Bahamut. We also had to fight Omega who was capable of rewriting the rules of reality at like 20% of it's maximum strength. Papalymo nearly caused the end of the world.

Also watching this after finishing the omega quests... haha Only wondering what Omega's internal monologue was during this battle

I could be wrong. Just saw this, is that Scathe? The FFXII ultimate Black Magick used by Omega?

When Ilberd goes *SPLAT*

God fucken damnit. I haven't even moved on from the Steps of Faith... or Minfillia and the Warriors of Darkness.. or Ysayle and Haurchefant... Why must this MMO hurt me so

Why it had to be my beloved papalymo. I cry everytime I see this, bring him back already 😢😢

Answers playing in the background KILLED ME 😭😭

it’s honestly pretty fucking stupid that they didn’t just destroy the eyes in the first place instead of chucking them into the abyss

Ilberd's rictis smile is some haunting shit

Something I’m now just realizing is that characters who studied under louisiox all end up dying in similar manners.

the song...what is it?

running msq w/o yda or papalala is just sadness :(
