The rains have ceased. And we have been graced with another beautiful day.... But you are not here to see it.

[SaiyanGamer]

That "Well come and well met my brave little spark" line always gets me. It feels like something a mother would say to her child; not a creator deity to the creature they created, but a tried and true mother welcoming her child home.

[AltruisticWarrior]

I had heard this song only a day after my mother passed away this last December. I have an incredibly small family, 2 sisters, a grandmother and one aunt left. Her and I were pretty close over the years. Anytime I hear this song I like to imagine she's happily flowing through the aether watching her WoL continue on to live a good life full of adventures and good deeds. Thank you for this upload!

The ending shot of the Scions and the Amaurotines has that wonderful messages, at least for me. The Scions forge ahead and move towards the future that they've fought for while Venat and others return to their resting place, finally getting the rest that they all deserve. But even though Meteion is on the side of the Amaurotines, she looks where the Scions face. She now understands the hardships of the past but the WoL has shown her hope and to look towards the future.

Hermes, Hythlodaeus and Emet-Selch walk towards their destination, having now finished the roles that they have to play and while Venat walks among them, she looks towards her children. Passing the torch but still guiding them through her love even though she isn't there anymore.

[effervescerror]

My personal interpretation of this song is that it's a lullaby sung for the Warrior of Light as a way of gently acknowledging everything they've been through so far.

There's one line in particular that gets me every time:
Sinking deeper and deeper in calm embrace
Loving tides sweep in and bear you down
Should you meet a soul rising surface-ways
With your unbeating heart, wish them well.

That line makes me think of when WoL nearly died at the end of their battle with Zenos and how utterly distraught the Scions were over it. Seeing some of them shed tears over nearly losing WoL and the lengths they went to save them had ME in tears. In that moment, my WoL had never felt so loved and so grateful to have these amazing people watching over him.

ANYWAY this song makes me feel a lot of different things and brings back a lot of specific memories, but at its core is, undeniably, a message of love. ♡

[leont]

I well up every time I hear this song. It's such a fittingly beautiful song for such an incredible character. "Thank you, Venat."

[bio]

I found the part ''i'll catch your tears, quench your fears with joy'' really moving..

[otakamerd]

I can never hate Meteion even after what she did because you realise she's just a scared kid who's afraid of what the future holds and places too much focus on "what if"

It's nice that Ff14 paints most of the villains as not being truly evil but just misguided.

Except Asahi, fuck Asahi

[gandalf]

This song helps me grieve my father. The grief that just won't surface, because I have to be strong. Strong for my family, my sibling, my relatives. If I don't let it out, anxiety takes over. This song helps me grieve, and thus my anxiety. I'm not special, nor unique; I know there's more like me out there. With people, there are no coincidences. May your grief pass eventually, just as I hope mine. I wish everyone grieving the same luck as I, and I invoke this great equalizer as a love letter to all of humanity. The sun will rise again, the sun will rise. Even when it rains.

[jerome]

that ending artwork i would pay square enix so much money for a copy of that with my player character drawn into it

[Dotoku]

This song is about the WoL's deaths through the past 12 thousand years. And how Venat is always there to welcome you back to the life stream and ferry your soul into another body to continue to keep hope alive untill the time Meteion is defeated. A lot of people don't realize that for some reason I think.

[andrewan]

"Of this, I have no doubt. For yours is a Light, BRILLIANT beyond measure. Even after I am gone, though not even my soul remaineth...my love will be you forever...my dearest children"

[Calculusman]

How to find me sobbing at 4 a.m., play this song. In fact, any of the vocal tracks in XIV tend to send this 38 yr old man into heavy sobs. much emotion carried in the voices, lyrics, scenes, and players.

[serinahighcomasi]

Venat is Best Mom. Must hug and cherish.

[TransientWitch]

There is so much Endwalker made me want more of...

Venat's line in Elpis...About lands that stretch on forever, about nothing seeming impossible, about her purpose, meaning, and love. I feel that we've taken that on, in all our lives...And I really simply must know if Azem would be as proud of us as Venat seemed to be. We constantly seek new people, places, experiences...We stand up for those that cry out for a champion, we reach out for the closeness of our comrades, we make promises not knowing if we can keep them but determine we will anyway.

It's the one thing, for me personally, that was left greatly wanting from Endwalker. And that is such a good thing, because I feel the World Unsundered, and "The World That Was" is getting its chapters closed, but there might still be a little of Azem to discover waiting out there in "The World That *Is*" ... or, at least, one can hope

[phoenixflamegames]

I don't think I could have cried more this expansion. And then Venat came into play.

[PKMNTrainerEevee]

This song never fails to bring tears to my eyes. So much emotion was Endwalker. I flip between ShB and EW as my favourite expansion but really, they're both amazing in their own ways. I truly love this game.

[SR-wqpi]

This song will always remind me of the greatest time in my life- which is right now. I remember singing this song to myself meeting my nephew for the first time, because I couldn't wait to meet him the day he was born. It was also on my playlist the day my sister got married. This game will always remind me of this incredible snapshot of my life. And I know the sun won't always shine. Like others, there will be peaks and valleys, losses, smiles, tears, and more. I can see this song means so much to so many. I cannot thank Soken and Achen, along with the other musicians, for creating this utter masterpiece.

[scrapox]

To this day I haven't managed to sing this song properly once. Halfway into the song is as far as I go, before my voice gives in to the tears.

[eternamagica]

seen amanda live this year in london performing this... the entire concert was just an embrace of the universe
