That ending got me good.

"Tell me true, has your journey been good?"
followed by pictures of your friends having a good time.

beautiful. <3

Christ. I'm still not over it apparently. Crying my heart out over here.

*Aggressive bawling noises*

Edit: Losing Papalymo was like watching my best friend die in front of my eyes. My first ever character when ffxiv released was a lancer and so I had the closest connection to yda and papalymo than any other character. I had to take a break after that cutscene.

[raevenent]

A lot of these scenes, no matter how many times I've seen them, they still get me.

[XMarksEden]

“We did everything right, everything that was asked of us and still, still it came to this” always breaks me. That storyline was so, so beautifully done

[KujaStar]

My heart was not ready for seeing Haurchefant perish. I can tell you on one hand how few times I've seen it since Heavensward was released and the years have not insulated me against the trauma.

All that power... All that pain... It’s too much... Too much for anyone! The things they’ve done to you. The lies, the betrayal, the endless fighting... Yet there you stand, unbroken. How...? Why...? - Fordola

So no one else has to suffer - Ren Nocturne (my Warrior of Light)

Super wholesome. The addition of the FC screenshots honestly makes it all the better.

“Was my journey good? It was wonderful, but it was not my journey. It was OUR journey. Though we may have only shared a small portion of it together, we did still do it together. Our friends, our foes, the kind, and the cruel. No matter how short our time together, it was still ours. No matter our divergent goals and aspirations, it was a journey we shared together. Even if our time was merely my pulling your cat from a tree, you were here with me. And, I was here with you. No matter what comes, I will carry on. I hope you will do the same. I do this for those I could not save, and for those I might yet save. I hope in time, you also share with me the reason you carry on and the reason we took this journey together.” -Selece Estibule, Warrior of Light

[MissLilianae]

I'm glad you included Master Musosai, a very underrated and underappreciated character in the grand story of FF14.

[MrGoesBoom]

this song/amv just highlights the kudos the folks at Square deserve, they've woven an epic story with complex characters we actually give a damn about....which is why these scenes hurt so damn much

[jrtime]

I suffer all creation, so they won't have to when I am gone. I have lost many a friend and ally on this path I cannot see the end of; but because of them, I carry on. From distant past to enduring future I will march, fight, and persevere. For those I have lost. And for those I may yet save; I will remain the warrior of light. -Kia Fyrelite (my OC).

[PFoxen]

"It has been agony, and suffering, and loss. I can count each step in a friend I could not save. But it has also been redemption, and hope, and new life, and I would not trade one precious moment for all the tears that have been spilled. Rest now, Venat, for your children shall carry the light from here."
Tyria Kaikinos, Warrior of Light, Collector of Aliapohs, Adventurer.

This is beautiful.. this is why I play final fantasy we as warriors lost our greatest friends and still we won’t let it go in vain ❤ I’m proud to be a warrior of Light and Dark 😌

[daniel_a.m.]

Weird how many, and how deep emotions one can experience in a video game :, )

[gsamalot]

The journey we went on was something I will never forget, from the friends we made along the journey to those we lost.

[robikkupegasus]

For all the pain, the loss and the anguish we've been through...

We forge ahead for them, ourselves, and everyone else upon the star!

"Why do i fight? Why deal with a voidsent so? Why suffer? Why not surrender myself to your 'Mercy'? It is easy I was cast out! I was unwanted! I was told I would only ever be wanted if a female found me worthy of being her mate! That is how I was raised... I wanfed none of it! So I left  I left the home and people who abandoded me. I found strength in Limsa. I found purpose with the Malestrom and the scions. I was shown friendship and compassion by Haurchefant. I thought for so long that even the scions were just using me as a means to an end! I was wrong I was their friend! I was part of their family! They were the ones who stopped me from being like Zenos! I simply wanted for power and battle before them now I just want them back. I want to hear the twins bicker. I want to hear the long winded prose of Urianger. I want to see Stola pouring over tomes. I want to hear the confidence in Thancred's voice. I want to hear Raha ask to go on adventures together. I want to hear the sound of Estinien's armor as he leaps into the fray alomg side me. They are why I fight! They are what I suffer for! Yhey are why I came here to the ends of the universe. I came here along side them and now you took them from me! I WANT THEM BACK!"
