FFXIV: Endwalker. Endsinger and Shinryu Zenos.

[SammehEatWorld]

"Hungry still for our reunion, I rode the light of the stars to you." is some of the most romantic shit anyone has ever said in this game

[GrahamChapman]

"So this is the cosmic, life-ending horror, huh? So why isn't it dead yet, are you the BITCH of Light now or something?"

[Ravage]

Endwalker is the story of your buddy trying to rush you through the MSQ so you’ll pvp with him

[diegomo]

“I had assumed you would be above something so banal as despair.”

This is actually really motivational

[BroadwayRonMexico]

I've said it before and I'll say it again. If G'raha Tia and Allisaie made a Warrior of Light fan club, Zenos would not only somehow get in without anyone knowing how, but would become the president

[jajimenez]

"Why does it live? Surely it is no match for you" Didn't care much for Zenos before Endwalker but this line was gold

[Muzzle]

WoL: shouldn’t the power of friendship usually be something that carries me victory?
*zenos enters*
Zenos: at the end of everything I find you my friend.
WoL: friendship really is that strong…

[ScreamStarr]

"Surely I am the most dramatically anime character ever"—Endsinger right before Zenos busts in

[jgrif]

"I had assumed you above something as banal as despair. Was I mistaken? "

Never has anyone talked shit to me while given me a pep talk so eloquently.

[GrandiaKnight]

The final fight is you at the edge of the universe fighting an ancient god of despair who throws planets at you while riding on the back of a dragon who is your mortal enemy. I LOVE THIS GAME!!

[XtremeSuperJason]

So much hype when Zenos breaks through. "I take it this is your prey?" He barely acknowledges her. Meteion is just an annoyance to him. She is dog shit that he stepped in on his way to find the warrior of light and now he's gotta clean his shoe before he can continue walking forward.

[Elunev]

This is my favorite cutscene in the entire game by miles. I always liked Zenos's character but they so gracefully gave him the push he needed to become a good and dare I say great character in the context of the series. There's so much to appreciate about this scene and of course what follows after but Zenos hard carried the ending to EW imo

[SushiBurritoPapi]

The simplicity of Zenos is what makes him so great. Him and Emet are my favorite enemies in this game, although both could be said to be your friend in a strange way.

[carbodude]

Zenos' indifference to Endsinger perfectly highlights how the two are polar opposites when it comes to the inherent meaningless of existence

Endsinger: Nothing matters so everything should die!

Zenos: Nothing matters, whoop-de-fucking-do. Now where's my fight-buddy?

[wooootles]

Zenos coming in with MAD DISRESPECT to the Endsinger!

[TheAzulmagia]

I was talking to in XIV about Endwalker, and somehow the conversation shifted to Venat. They said her name was weird, and I told them that it was from the similarly named character in XII. I then jokingly started to reply "At least this Venat didn't fuse with an imperial prince to turn into a giant Bahamut-inspired dragon".

...And then I realized.

[SchrödingerKousae]

I never thought my clingy psychotic ex would save my life.
This shit was so fucking cool.

[hopscotch_]

"I take it this is your prey."

Endsinger:(stares in fear)

[lolo]

The fact zenos not only eat a massive crystal turned to a fucking dragon flow a cross the god damned universe tells you a embodiment of disappear is week shit and beneath you to said embodiments face and then tanks like 200 planets being throw at his face and still is 100% ready to fight you is some straight up sigma male shit

[EdgeKisaragi]

Zenos is and always will be your biggest hype man
