After three expansions... Zenos finally learnt to just ask

[FiendMatadorSlayerOfNoobs]

I had started as a Pugilist waaaay back during 1.0 but eventually kind of just left it alone. Toyed around with it but never became a 'proper' Monk even after ARR.

So seeing my character, a Black Mage, abandon his spellcasting to throw hands with Zenos brought back so many old memories & sent so many chills down my spine like ya wouldn't believe. It was like he never forgot where he first came from.

[Delnoir]

When an expansion's main theme is so goddamned good that it refuses to be constrained to that expansion only.

[TheTruestZero]

This is the "Save Slot to fight THAT boss" moment we all wished could have.

[serinfirelight]

He finally got his best bud to queue up for pvp.

[jaysanj]

Whoever gave the idea of "That, I can't deny." Option and makes our WOL Smirk deserves a massive raise.

[ApexGale]

it's especially great because both Zenos and the WoL are physically half dead and exhausted at this point. You were facing the Endsinger and he was tanking her attacks too. They are both exhausted...

but they have never felt so alive.

[Corrderio]

The only real crime of this fight is there is no way to experience it again unless you do NG+. This game really needs a way to replay solo duties.

[Saihamaru]

"that, i can't deny"
standing here i realize, you were just like me

[SaarkinCho]

FF Fandom Wiki has this to say about Zenos:

_Zenos was brought up being taught all that an imperial heir was expected to learn, including book studies with tutors as well as combat. He spent little time with his father, Varis zos Galvus, and his mother sickened and died shortly after he was born. Varis and Zenos often went months without seeing one another, and to the youth his tutors and servants were little more than automatons. A bright but joyless child, he had little time or inclination for innocence or playfulness._

And then he met *you.* There really wasn't any other boss this expansion could end on.

[amf]

it's still unreal to me that this ending is basically....a pvp duel, glorious

[cr]

This and the Venat fights are why I want difficult single player duties in the game.

[otakamerd]

Doctor: Alright, next I'm gonna check your reflexes

*pops mitigation and runs out of the AoE*

[zephyr]

Zenos had always come across as one who was driven by selfish desire.
But there at the end I understood.. he just wanted to share a connection.

[skyplayer]

You can't end a good party without someone on the floor

[anothertoast]

You know I kinda hate this guy and spent most of Endwalker wishing he'd leave me alone, and yet somehow this entire sequence won me over and it's my favourite part of the expansion now. Genuinely great.

[TheAvengineer]

That, I can't deny.

To think, I went into Endwalker thinking I'd probably end up unsatisfied with Zenos, only for them to give him the rawest fuckin dialogue and the best response available to give him.

Also, going into that last bit of the fight as Monk felt like a culmination of all the punching I'd done so far.

[SilentZed]

Get someone that believes in you the way Zenos believes in the WoL.

[WilliamTheWatchful]

Even Fray was like "No, no. He's got a point."

[CordyBrush]

Roses are Red
just like the Phoenixes.
Zenos now performs
A TEST OF YOUR REFLEXES!
