For anyone wondering, the piano version of this is "Desolation", track 26. I love it!

[gamester]

"But that man. He'd lost everything. He no longer wanted anything. He didn't even want to *live* anymore. And despite that, his life was the one thing he hadn't lost! BECAUSE HE COULDN'T!"

[SuperPlaytendo]

Step 1: Lie down
Step 2: Try not to cry
Step 3: Cry a lot

[KinglyRed]

Pouring one out for my man Jin. To me, he started off as little more than an edgy swordsman and ended up as one of my favorite characters in the entire series.

What a splendid soul he was.

[tuliogirelli]

_"What a splendid soul you were, Jin..."_
That line already made me sob, but after playing through the Torna DLC it just WRECKS me. Jin didn't deserve any of the things that happened to him. Nobody in Torna did.

[flw_contrl]

"Jin, why didn't you kill me when I joined Rex and the others?"


"It wasnt a mistake right? Becoming the blade of someone you trust'


"Jin."


"I did that too once. Rex you have to stop malos he is still searching for his identidy, Tell him your answer."

[cobalt]

"Urgh, what a stench. They let beggars roam free in this town?


...You. You're a Blade, aren't you?
Where is your driver?

Dead drunk in a ditch...? No, somehow I don't think that's it.


...The name's Malos.
I'm the same as you."

[EJKraft]

Everyone talking about Jin when I have to also think about Mikhail. Especially after seeing what a small innocent child he was in Torna, then avenging his friends by destroying Indol. That scene BROKE me.

[SvanEsch]

What I find most heartbreaking is that both Jin and Malos acted according to what they thought the other wanted. Malos showed Jin that there was a path, that there was something he could do with his life, so Jin wanted to destroy the world for Malos. Malos thought Jin was so dead set on destroying the world, and Amalthus made it so that he couldn’t do anything else if he wanted to, that he staked everything on destroying the world, even after Jin was dead. Because that’s what he thought Jin wanted.

[comkorea]

_A wretched tale, isn't it? This whole world is a wretched place!_
_Exactly! That's exactly it! I'm a wretched being too! A hideous monster, far beyond saving!_
Those lines perfectly capture Malos's character, you can just hear his voice breaking in that last line. I get teary-eyed every time.

[president.z]

"O father, why do you not answer when I Mother, I've missed you..."

[ontos]

I just finished Torna The Golden Country.

What a splendid soul you were, indeed.

[deltaluke]

What a splendid soul you were, Jin...
Jin...
*Crying Intensifies*

[ySoSeriousYT]

Malos and Jin were looking for reasons to live as cursed beings, and eventually Rex gives them the answers.
Amalthus lost his mother so he climbed all the way to the World Tree to question the god but still got no answer breaks him...
The Architect sums up that human hasn't changed since he was born - they seek reasons after losing something.

[eggy]

"But that man, he lost everything! He no longer wanted anything. He didn't even want to live anymore. And despite that, his life was the one thing he hadn't lost. BECAUSE HE COULDN'T".

My god this game had me in tears ;-;
Thank you Monolithsoft for this grand experience :)

[Ampharosite]

Seeing Rex break down into tears after Vandham's death was legitimately heartbreaking.

[bitrel]

"Don't you even know what you've done?!"

*cue Mikhail suddenly using the Marsanes as a shield to protect the group as Rex and Co. prepare for the shot from Indol to hit them. After the explosion fades away, everyone looks up to see the Marsanes in front of them as Nia gasps*

"Wh-why?"

"What are you hanging around here for? Go!"

"That voice...Mik? That you?"

"You're chasing Jin and Malos, right? I said go!"

"Why would you-"

"Beats me. I don't even know anymore."

"Mikhail...?"

"I really hate this world. Like, really. And humans most of all."

"You used to BE human!"

*Mikhail simply waves his finger as if gesturing that there's more to what he means* "But you know what? There were people I loved, once."
*a flashback of Mikhail's past 500 years ago plays and ends* "When I look at you guys, it reminds me of them. I wonder... If the people I loved were still around, would things be...different? I wonder that, and I start doubting myself."

"Mikhail..."

"It's Rex, right?"

"Yeah..."

"Have you found your answer?"

"I have, and it's pretty spectacular."

"I see. Well then... I'll leave Jin to you. Now go! Get after him already! Tell him your answer!"

*Rex and Co. take off towards Jin and Malos who are already inside the World Tree as Mikhail makes the Marsanes turn around to face Indol in order to end the battle*

"Hm." *Indol's firepower continues to strike and damage the Marsanes as it charges at the Titan* "Amalthus… Time to end this! *The Marsanes grabs Indol by the neck and spins it around before letting the Titan crash into the World Tree heavily damaging it* "Uwaagh!" *makes the Marsanes rush towards the heavily damaged Titan fist forwards*

"Fool. Who do you take me for?!"

*Indol prepares to release one last desperate blast at the rushing Marsanes as the camera shows Lora's body and Mikhail's determined expression before showing another flashback of how he (Mikhail) met Lora and Jin 500 years ago*

*Lora looks at the young Mikhail with a warm, caring smile* "What happened? Are you alone?"

"Looks like the only survivor. *Jin turns his head to look at the scene* These burn patterns don't look like Malos's handiwork. Must've been humans... Looting and pillaging while the world burns."

"Hey, it's ok. Would you like to come with us?" *Mikhail looks up at Lora* "You don't have to worry, really. We're all good people, promise."

"Can you walk?" *Mikhail simply nods his head saying 'yes'* "You can. Good going."
*flashback ends with Mikhail now traveling with Lora and Jin*

"Forgive us, Jin. We're going on ahead."

*Indol's shot makes contact with the Marsanes destroying it and those onboard while the resulting explosion also causes the already heavily crippled Titan to go down in ruins as it starts to sink into the Cloud Sea as it too gets destroyed*

*Akhos and Patroka stop in their rush to regroup with Jin and Malos as they turn around upon hearing the explosion, Patroka giving a saddened reaction to realizing what just happened while Akhos puts his head down out of respect for Mikhail's sacrifice* "Ah... Mikhail.."

[Thrasher-svjx]

Legitimately one of the best tracks in the game.

[Terranhunter]

“Akhos is dead you bastard! So is Patroka. And Jin.”

“Figured as much.”

[SeriousStriker]

"Words can be a curse, that curse was what kept him tied down there"
