"We removed the crossbow for historical accuracy"

[SneedFeedAndSeed]

imagine Altair finding a hidden crypt in Masyaf where John Halo gives him an energy sword

[acidfacejake]

Completely historically accurate. I remember when I was studying for my final exam for my art major in college, I saw a rare prototype sketch by Da Vinci that depicted a bastard sword with a V8 Hemi engine attached to it. The cutting force must have been through the roof.

You can feel the Final Fantasy drip off this crossover scene without even looking at the name. A guy with crazy hair and outfit entering through a portal, a giant magical creature that can conjure swords, the weapons left over looking like if they came from a greaser's imagining of medieval times. The FF team just got that personalized style that you can recognize on the spot.

You gotta hand it to the Final Fantasy art team. You can tell it's their work no matter what game they show up in

[SifGreyfang]

I like how he witnesses all that happen and just goes. "Oh cool free sword and shield."

[darthxerxes]

Bayek: WHAT. THE. FUCK WAS THA- oh cool free sword!

I like how the fact that this took time before AC1 emplies that somewhere in history the universe just decided to stop doing magical things and stick to what's normal
EDIT: Okay so by "normal" I meant what was established with the Esu and Eden pieces, I didn't know this comment would blow up with so many likes so I didn't pay much attention to wording.

lol, when I played this back in 2020 my first though was "wtf is this Final Fantasy looking scene" not knowing that it was, in fact, a crossover dlc thing with FF. I proceeded to play the rest of the game using the weapons and mount from this. Pretty OP.

[leshiy_nd]

Imagine Ezio walking along the streets of Rome and suddenly hearing a calling whisper from under a cardboard box, oh wait

[notsorbie]

that is the absolute last person i expected to walk out there

[BaldorfBreakdowns]

I wonder how many people played this without knowing about the FF15 crossover.

[goodvibestv]

Would’ve been hilarious if every time we got an obviously non assassin weapon unlock a voice would faintly whisper ASSASSINNNN in the background

[Brubarov]

As a historian, I confirm this is historically accurate

[MatheusSoutoferreira]

Ah yes, the ancient Egypt, love that part where a giant mechanical dragon rains energy swords from the sky and a final fantasy character comes out of the pyramids, leaving a mechanical sword and a WoW look a like shield, historical and amazing.

[noirhelios]

…. I’m still sitting here thinking “no frickin way that was real, I had to have just watched a really really good fan animation of a crossover between the two series”

[LadyBug_man]

I remember this cross over event. FF15 created this whole unique experience with fun character interactions and activities and tied it in a fun way with FF15’s lore in a way you could believe or dismiss.

Assassins creed really just phoned it in by having you solve a puzzle a watch a cutscene to get the dlc weapons.

It was a weird time for games. But when is it not I guess.

[BlazerNA]

When I experienced this for the first time, I was actually mind blown by this cutscene. Never expected it to be in the game

[ewkdwbv]

Behold, the most lore-accurate moment of new AC game.
