Id totally watch an animated series based on Ff14, so long as we also get a spinoff Hildebrand series with a different WoL every episode. Also it needs to have a different WoL every episode and no one acknowledges the fact that yesterday they were a lalafell and today a cat girl. Everyone just rolls with it.
It's been an honor to collab with you, Husky, Nick and Magitek on this, my friend! Seeing the final result of all of our effort makes me quite emotional, not gonna lie. 🥲 And once again, a huge round of applause for those lyrics YOU wrote! We literally could not have made this project without you, Denmo 🙏🏾
Holy **** guys I've literally had this on repeat for the past hour. This may be one of the greatest videos I have ever seen. Congratulations to everyone involved because this was seriously a monumental feat to pull off and you all KILLED IT!!!
I loved the lyrics so much that I just had to write them down for anyone who wants them. Soul Echoes ------ Faded Reveries, our path is winding. Jaded memories, tempered in sorrow. Silence breaking, our friendships binding. Splendor waking, look for tomorrow. Our hearts we hold unto the sky. (Bathed in Light) We Soldier forward now we fly! Our Soul it Echoes tumbling! Our blood it beckons crumbling down! (The song of hope she dances higher!) Our world may fall to embers! But we will always remember! (Remember us and Soldier on!) Our chorus rings out for... (We Fall!) We walk on as we fade away... (We Fall!) Away! (We fall!)
The last part kinda makes me sad. I've not once seen any of these characters before, but the way this was edited tells me a short story of their companionship, so instantly I care about them. Then the lyrics hits with, "We walk on as we fade away". I hope nothing terrible happens to them! T_T
I can't even begin to tell you the goosebumps this gave me. It was the perfect blend of action and those relaxed, peaceful moments, both of which are so important to our FFXIV experience. And you had such a wide variety of characters, all full of personality. Seeing Minfilia and Elidibus mirrored in Hydaelyn and Zodiark was such a good creative decision and timed with an especially fantastic part of the song. I can't imagine how much work this took, but everyone involved here- from the original creators of those characters to the musicians and the creators/editors of this vid- should be damn proud. This is phenomenal, and I'll probably have it on repeat until the second Endwalker drops.
@@lexysteinberger7725 I took it as Elidibus since the robes matched his, right down to the golden accents and adornments. I can't say with 100% certainty that I'm right though!
Totally worth the wait, this is really incredible. Thank you for letting us members be a part of the project even if it was a really small part! Amazing work
Can I just say how much I appreciate y'all briefly including Baderon at 0:15... I started my FFXIV journey in Limsa Lominsa (as Arcanist), and no matter how far I'll get, I'll never forget Baderon guiding my n00b ass and teaching me the ropes. Plus, he's underratedly funny. Amazing :D
Absolutely amazing work as always Denmo! The love you put into your craft shows! Everything is so seemless, it's really telling how well the parts done by you and Magitek work together!
My absolute favorite small detail was @0:20 when the jobs our protagonist cycles through is the order of the expac poster jobs, even starting with archer from 1.0. This must have taken a lot of work but it turned out fantastically
Jesus christ!!!! I just stumbled across this and as an editor and gposes I HAVE NO IDEA HOW YOU MADE THIS LOOK SO DAMN GOOD???? Bloody amazing through and though!
This needs to exist as a series. Honestly there should be two series where one is the MSQ from beginning to end, and another series that is similar to .hack// with ingame and irl sections. This level of animation is incredible and I'd love to see more. It's funny how this showed up to me today when just yesterday I was finishing the Hildibrand questline and thinking if there was a way to organize a Kickstarter to gather a team to create an animated series of Hildibrand which combines the ingame cutscenes with animated scenes to fill in the gaps and replace the stiff poses and dialogue. Keep up the good work dude this kicked so much ass!
This is such an incredible work of art. You all did an amazing job at capturing all the core elements of an anime opening, from the music to the editing and all the character appearances. Especially that near ending when all the WoLs appear for the power of FRIENDSHIP. FLAWLESS.
Imagine a legit anime where it follows the adventures of your regular every day adventurers with occasional cameos of the main characters from the game. Like imagine going through that tonberry dungeon (I forget it's name) and the main characters of the anime get antagonize by the random npcs in the dungeon but due to curious events when the group finally shakes off their pursuers its because the warrior of light makes a cameo and defeats them so the episode instead focuses on avoiding the tonberries and getting out of the dungeon, except they encounter one final remnant of the curse on their way out after the warrior of light completes his business there.
My favorite part is a scene with Minfilia and Elidibus. The way her expression transitions to his slow to the crystal that shifts from Hydaelyn to Zodiark. So epic in face value, but if you caught up with the plot, its 100 times more epic once you get it.
I knew this would be good, but, twelve be damned, I am absolutely blown away! You guys knocked it out of the fucking park, holy hell! I'm in awe. Had to watch it several times, and in slow-mo as well to really get all those fantastic editing details. I'm just speechless. Wow. Just wow. Absolutely incredible work, my thudes. Absolutely incredible.
I pray. And hope. And dream. When the new expansion comes out in two years time. That everyone and maybe more get together, and do something like this all over again. Because this just gets me hyped all over again!
Lol Denmo's lala getting drunk the whole video, always drinking lol There is only one visual that I noticed that was a little off, but no one is going to notice it lol. This was such a good video. I had to start sharing it with people I know immediately. At least the ones that know ff14. I want to see more videos like this!
This is so cool! My FC and I are already on the hype rocket for EW, but this has got me even more excited! It's always amazing seeing the incredibly talented creators in the community, especially on collabs like this!
I swear that half the excitement of new expansions is waiting to see what you'll bring to the table- I still rewatch Don't Dance Alone Eorzea every now and then, it's a bit of Feel Good video for me by now. This impressive collaboration, at the doors of what's probably the most awaited expansion ever, is just as exciting as it could ever be- Thank you Denmo, and thanks to all the wonderful creators in this community that always put in their effort to make it a better place. See you on the Moon!
D: This is so epic! I love it and you guys for the hardwork! Glad to be a small part of it for something that has no business going this hard. Great job with one of the biggest crossovers in history! Now please make this an anime lol Love you guys!
Oh man, y'all KILLED it! This was a fantastic arrangement by three gr8 musicians, the editing was SUPERB, and I recognized a lot of the faces of the various Warriors of Light (including yours of course.) Thanks to all y'all for making it and sharing. ^^
The fact that this really feels like a legit shonen anime opening is mindblowing, everything from the arrangement to the editing fits together perfectly
0:48 Spoilers below you have been warned! . . . . . I love this shot, Elidibus walking away from Minfilia. Elidibus walking out from behind Minfilia symbolizes their similarities, they both possess the echo and are the emissary of Hydaelyn and Zodiark respectively - however Minfilia has not become emissary to Hydaelyn yet, but her turning to face Elidibus as he walks towards Hydaelyn and then Zodiark foreshadows the fact they'll share a role - albeit for different gods. Furthermore Minfilia is standing still, representing her uncertainty while Elidibus strides forwards towards his path with no hesitation. I might be reading a bit much into that one scene but I love it all the same, great cinematography.
I was gonna get a few hours of sleep before early access but this has pumped me full of so much more hype energy I'm not sure I'm going to be able to sleep!
another absolute banger of a video & music - a supergroup collaboration for sure! seriously outstanding work all around, it's hard not to feel excited and inspired after watching this, love it!
Woow this is so much better then the actual video from Alex, because this is really looks like an anime opening instead of the one from Alex video where they just videos from the story.
The zoom zoom transition effects - that was totally you wasn't it? Very slick. I also love that it has this raw footage feel that this OP has at times, because it feels quite true to how the game really looks for the players.
These are my favorite kind of spoilers. Because I don't understand them until I reach that point. And then I get the HOLY SHIT THATS IN THE OP !!! Moment.
