I dont play anymore but back then when i was feeling the burn out it felt like the game is super lonely. My friends dont come online anymore and meeting new friends feels difficult. It doesnt feel the same anymore. People dont sit down to chat anymore. Everyone's going somewhere. People dont stop by to help with doors, they just use glitches to speed run their day. I haven't had a giant group of people cr'ing together for a very long time. The scenery is still incredibly breathtaking, but theres no one to enjoy it with. The game feels stagnant, like im coming online just to decay in silence. I dont need anymore of it than i already had irl
this is why the game is so shit how can anyone have time to explore and hang out with people when you have to spend hours candlerunning to afford everything (not to mention that people have lives outside of the game) after the moomins season is finished i will stop buying anything for the game, tgc (that greedy company) doesn't deserve my money
Yeah it makes me nostalgic and sad at the same time. Like I didn’t have a contact with my friends, we were mostly casual and having teenager type talks about video games and school, but It still felt like we were good friends. I just kinda want to know if they still remember me and if they are okay now. If I ever play with people again I want it to be with people who feel the same way as I do about the game, I kinda try to communicate these feelings in game but it didn’t seem to connect with people. Have a nice day/night 🌝🕺
I felt this comment so hard, i left the game too for the same reason plus some issues with my old phone and had no time to play cause the school 😭. I recently i started to play again and i think that is better that when i left the game.
I LOVE working my 9 to 5 in a game meant for social interaction and relaxation! Who needs to explore the world when you can repeat the same routine EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.
let's not forget that in order to get the majority of the cool items, we have to pay 10 bucks + 2 months of spare time, just like bills in the real world!! I guess it's time to commit tax fraud in the only world where it's legal! but fr the cost of some of these items literally make my jaw drop. Im not even participating in season of moomin cuz I'm tired of having to pay for cool items that I'm never gonna use 😭
Sky needs a Chapter 2 the storyline feels so unfinished Like- it’s a cycle of us free lost souls, dying, reborn, again and again while the Eye of Eden is still spewing darkness everywhere in the world. Is there no way to stop the corruption for good? I knew they shouldn’t have taken Resh’s Nintendo switch and let him get bored
The story or new stories are just expanded by the Newly added seasons. I know Sky is supposed to be a patient game, but DAMN do them stories take long to come by. After then, there's nothing left to do but repeat candle runs.
That's mostly because Sky was originally planned to be a full complete game for console and pc, like Journey its predecessor. But during the development they decided to switch to mobile devices because at that time mobile games were becoming lot popular, getting lot different players and could easily get monetize, like today games are basically all gacha systems and iaps. So Sky original storyline (and lot other stuff) end up cut, scrapped and reworked made up for a more loop gameplay.
@@StarCoordinate594 oooo a new realm would be nice! Thinking about it, maybe it'd be cool that after doing eden for the first time, a door would open up in the starting area/social space and it would lead to maybe underground ruins, with more lore about the mysterious eden elder(?)
As a veteran of sky who has played 4 yrs of this somehow, the candle running system needs a change to keep players invested. Running everyday for ten candles which is two realms, takes like 30 minutes with some current speedrun strats. It's so incredibly time taking and draining to do one and I don't need another thing that I have to treat like homework. It's not a rewarding system because even after all of that, all of my candles will be gone the moment there's a traveling spirit, and there's not much flexibility in what I'm able to use my candles for even if I do run daily for 30 minutes. Like two weeks is 140 candles, ten candles per day, and that's down the drain for any TS. Can't even work on constellation progress. So it's a game with a huge lack of reward when everything costs so many candles or when I'm barely earning any candles at all. There's so much more things I can or need to buy with candles if I want that has increased over the past 4 years of playing this game, but the amount you earn from candle running hasn't increased much (Ik they did that one update for veterans where you get more wax at the beginning than at the end but the change isn't making much of a difference). I feel as if this system where if new players want to pay for TS, it becomes quite unfriendly. New players shouldn't be playing for hours everyday (if they don't just outright look up how to speed run a realm) so they can work on the basic progression line (constellations) of items and not be able to afford TS, bc even 30 minutes of ten candle speedruns daily isn't enough to be able to afford both.
you'll have enough time to eventually get literally everything (not including iap).. the ts return, so u don't really have to get all the items the first time they appear
I've decided that Moomin season is my last. I kind of have enough candles/hearts to finish the constellations, which has been my goal in the game for a long time. Sky hasn't brought me the same feelings and it has become like a job. Never donated (no opportunity) and I feel inferior against the background of those who can afford it and walk around in incredibly beautiful clothes. For a long time, I was inspired by Aurora's last concert, where everyone gathered for the record - it was wonderful and magical I guess i'm not so alone in these feelings, time to move on
Nowadays I prefer to only get the seasonal cosmetics that I want (without seasonal pass) and the rest of the time I'm practicing music. I really don't see the point of having all cosmetics anymore, it also stressed me a lot.
Same, I will play moomin season because I payed for the pass, I am a fan of moomins since im little, so it was cute and exciting, but having to log in every day for quests drains the joy out of me and makes the experience dull

sky feels so lonely and it's sad. I collect candles every day but the world feels so empty. what even is the point of playing and spending money on this game? What am I doing this for? I wish there was more to the game
This is relatable. Since I saved a lot of candles over the years, I only do my daily tasks and the do the cr for the map that have the daily tasks. However, it’s difficult for me to delete the game due to two reasons. One, some of my friends are in that game and I don’t wanna lose contact even if I almost never see them in-game. Two, If I delete the game then the candles that I have saved up all these years would go to waste and I don’t like that.
@@Silly_Whitepikmin oh gosh, i use the android and PC versions, and the progress is available on both my devices. i assumed youre talking about phone/pc. I'm not sure how it works for the switch. ill come back to your comment if i find smth, but definitely gotta search first before deleting.
I’m so serious nothing in the game aside from actual socialisation and posing with cosmetics maybe gives me dopamine like it’s the same candle run route and the same routine everyday straight for almost 3 years now and I’m so tired bruh. Like I get 0 dopamine yet I still force myself to play for nostalgic and sentimental reasons because I have to admit this game is very important to me but.. man.
Literally the exact same reasons as me. Nowadays I even forget the game exists until 1-2 hours before reset to do quests🌚 I hop on, do quests, make an outfit and immediately hop off
i quit playing sky last month as a paid player and it's been nothing but heaven. For 20 Euros, which usually buys 1 event iap and a season pass, I've managed to score 5 whole games on Steam that were on sale. Webfishing has been endlessly more enjoyable to play with friends and then there's also Amber Isle and the Portal games that i've really been enjoying! Even after years and years of complaints, I always remained loyal to Sky... Which I now know was fomo... but right now? Right now Sky isn't even an option for me anymore in my daily life. The games I value all have what I want and what I can reasonably work towards at my own pace. It's the best choice I've ever made and I hope everyone reading this can find the same rest in other games too
Yeh that's what I do now just buy games on my switch on sale. Just finished Cult of the Lamb (also abbreviated to Cotl, funnily enough 😂)which was great
I also prefer to spend money on other indie games than in cosmetics that I won't even use for too long... Sky is a lovely game but has become sooooo tiring, unfortunately.
Exactly why I quit sky, I miss playing it but really I just got burnt out. It's really only fun if you have friends to play with, maybe someday I'll get back to it
if only i can relive the first time i played Sky, meet my old friends again, never worrying about candle runs and cosmetics, just pure fun and enjoyment. everything is so bland and stagnant now.
Watching this when I haven't played Sky in years... I felt burnt out when candle runs were barely over an hour. I can't imagine what the time must be now
Takes me back to the time when I used to play with my friends on Sky. It's actually been a while since I touched Sky, but I always think about my friends and the old times. I wish I was back in 2022 and enjoying the game. The year might've not been the best, but the game had helped me cope thru sm and the memories and people still remain in my head.
what, i love when games try to implement real life qualities to their games so it feels like a chore and i can't have fun anymore!! !! :3 *im looking directly at you resize system*
I got this in my reccomended, and it just made me sad that the game is like this, even though I don't play anymore. I'm glad that I left during Aurora though, as at least my time ended on a high note.
You 100% had the perfect opportunity to do the reading emote when you sat in the chair next to your bed! Missed opportunity, but video was still great!!
Legit I only really pop into Sky to see if any furniture is worth getting and doing the dailies. I've since given up doing any kind of candle running and embraced that I'll just miss out on cosmetics (the FOMO stressed me out man). I missed when getting candles can be as simple as sitting at Grandma's table with a white candle out and letting the wax come to you :(
I’ve been playing for myself and my two other siblings and I literally only log on for dailies. I love grinding for stuff but cr’s are boring now. The past few times I’ve been on, I’ve just gone to Eden to guide people up to the storm because it’s actually allowing me to connect with others in this *social game*
I am an Eden Uber. I rarely candle run unless it's with my friends. Maybe it's ok if us veterans hang up our capes for a bit, relax, and enjoy what we've built together. :)
think i’ll do this, i love sky but i practically have everything right now and im satisfied so im not in any rush to candle run (still buy the season passes ofc and complete it) - it still doesn’t excuse the issues though
I was already burning out, then played two days of the Halloween event, the first Moomin quest and... just stopped playing. I feel bad, but everything is too much of a chore. All we can do is get cosmetics. We candle run for cosmetics. But the pretty cosmetics are actually paid with real money, f2p get smaller or simpler cosmetics, for A LOT of candles or tickets. Everything is bugged. Everywhere has bugs. As soon as you get used to the bugs they release another event full of bugs and overpriced cosmetics. I- I used to love this game and I'm sad
Nah, yk what I am doing? I am not bothering about TS anymore. I wanted the moomin pass as I loved (and still love) the storyline of the ongoing moomin season, but I tried all my luck and couldn't get the pass. So, I am now even doing dailies at my own pace. Not bothering about missing seasonal candles everyday is a blessing, really. Sometimes, one thing can have both advantages, and disadvantages. I have spent all total $20 in game in my more than 1 year of playing sky (ignoring the bunny accessory, which I think most sky players have it as their first IAP). Do I regret spending them? Hmmmm yeah a bit. Because that value of money is precious for me. But.... at the same time, the happiness I had gotten at that time was unforgettable. My first SP and my first expensive IAP (Yeah I regret buying the cat prop of mischief, but when I get them to a group of people, I immediately start enjoying it 😂). I made a lot of kind friends too, who always supported and loved me (still do btw). Sky is something using which I escape the real world miseries, and I intend to keep the game that way. ❤
Don’t worry guys!! At least we’re experiencing the hard burn out and the never ending cycle of critiquing the devs, getting tired from playing, and watching beta videos for any scrap of hope together!
There's no time to take a break, one day of rest... Bye bye to that cosmetics you want. I called quit when I got burnout & cannot continue playing the game further. Is it my fomo or my sanity that I had to save first and in the end, I choose my own sanity. Everyday is like chore, what's the point when playing the game feel like having 2nd job?
Candle running is the first thing I do after sending light and love to my smol friend constellation 💚 I don't fondly wait for that point when I've done all the stories and spirits 🙊 I might get bored and... Start socializing and making new friends in Sky! I started to play, because my son started to play, because my mom and few of my siblings are playing 😂 Gotta learn all the cool ways to get the easiest candles as quick as possible. Tbf, this starts to remind me of IMVU and getting those free daily points and calculating that if I wanted to decorate my own space nicely, it'd take 2,5 years with the free points 😂😂😂 I think it might take as much time with Sky too 😂
Wow I love coming home from my irl job to spend 30-45 minutes playing my video game job out of what feels like obligation!! 🤩 Wanna get to the point where I'm mainly just playing music again, cuz that's where my heart is 😔
the moment I have done something irreversible just to stay on sky again because of my friends in sky and now I don't even get to play with them since all of us have lives, feel so burned out and wants to reverse my decisions that I made:/
I play Sky since season of Little Prince... I got some seasonal passes since, but nowadays I truly prefer to only get the seasonal cosmetics that I want (without seasonal pass) and the rest of the time I'm practicing music. I really don't see the point of having all cosmetics anymore, it stressed me a lot. They really need to implement more lore into the seasons, we barely know anything about Eden. I also miss moments like Aurora concert.
Beautyful video. For me Sky is a perfect way to relax after work. No difficult riddles to solve, no super hard bosses to defeat. Just a nice game to forget the real life problems for a while. You know, like a walk in the park. It's the same park every day but it's still nice. And occasionally you meet someone you know, greet each other, maybe chat a little. Very relaxing for me. The candelrun and daily quests just happen by the way while I do my walk in the park. ❤❤❤
*_right?_* 😭 i feel like i can't even friend people as much as i used to or send hearts to friends, because i need to save the candles for future events....
THE WAY MY EYES POPPED OUT OF MY SOCKETS WHEN I HEARD THE FFXIV NAMAZU SONG I clicked on this thinking about “haha funny sky meme” and suddenly found another FFXIV enjoyer, bravo for a new sub 💀
Hahahah this was adorable, good composition shots. also mildly relatable... xD;;;; I started playing towards the end of the duets season and ive been having a blast..! Still lots for me to do honestly, but definitely have been falling into the quicker routines as of late with RL gettign a lil busy this time of year. Still. Im enjoying it, and I have fun playign with my friends. uwu
Aaah yeah just pls give us a break x) I love the game but i cant afford to keep this pace >< i would be so happy if we had a longer time with no seasons or events. Just chilling time, appreciating what we got so far :) I wonder how many of you agree with me ^^ ~a veteran from season of sanctuary
honestly sky is a job for me. i get home. i sit around. then i get on sky and flip flop around for 4 hours. daily. like clockwork. and i couldn't love it more 10/10
When I tell you I stay up until midnight each night and then sprint to the geyser before heading to fully candle-run the Prairie through the Hidden Forest to then go to Grandma's -_- it is such a stressful way to end my day, but I do it anyways o7 (also finding out that you can just bow at the quest spirits and get all four at once changed my life)
Wake up, complete daily quests, participate in three timed events, collect treasure candles, and engage in the shard event. If no shards are available, head to Harmony Hall to play music. Bedtime.
Genuinely have not gone online for several months because of this. When I was younger I was a major tgc apologist, but im just super done with their bs now 😭(as a reference, ive been playing the game since I was around 10-11, I’m 14 now.)
Honestly, sky has just gotten boring. Whenever I'm online is the loneliest I feel-- ESPECIALLY for a game that is meant to revolve around socialization. I mean, why even log on at that point? To repeat the same routine you've done everyday for the past 6 months? And for what? To get some fancy cape or maybe be able to afford that one item you've been wanting since forever? Ah but wait! That's an iap which costs $30. Thirty real life dollars. Even if you do buy it, there's always gonna be a new event; new iaps; more and more and more stuff. It's suffocating. I used to love sky when I began playing, but now that I've really gotten into the game it feels like a job; as if schoolwork and personal life weren't enough to worry about. Sometimes I found myself procrastinating to candle run by watching videos. Procrasting. To play a game! Meant for making friends and customizing your character with cool outfits! What?????? Oh, and I'm sorry, friends that I have actually managed to make, I can't play with you and make use of sky's other interesting interaction features because I'm just so busy scrambling to get SEVEN HUNDRED CANDLES for the christmas event that's coming in a month. Guess that's just too bad. I don't even know why I still play
Omg its been a while since I've watched one of ur vids :'), i used to copy ur main outfit like all of the time! (the crab mama cape and juggler's pants combo"
I still love it, although it made me been through much pain ‘cause the people that used to be my friends all left me with different reasons😂 I did something wrong, so do they. And the end we just ended everything 👌 I’m feeling lonely, that’s for sure. But the experience the game gave me is so precious

@@PrinceDexterEND0I cried a little at the little prince season bro and then today's seasons feels so empty
One bad burnout day away from CR'ing myself off a cliff
sky feels so lonely and it's sad. I collect candles every day but the world feels so empty. what even is the point of playing and spending money on this game? What am I doing this for? I wish there was more to the game
i barely do shit anymore all i do is afk, doing full cr only if im in the mood, and doing cr + daily with friend 👁️👁️
Used to play sky to escape reality but the game is just real life simulator atp
actually quit for a while now after playing since season of sanctuary lmao. the burnout is real😭🙏
This is relatable. Since I saved a lot of candles over the years, I only do my daily tasks and the do the cr for the map that have the daily tasks. However, it’s difficult for me to delete the game due to two reasons. One, some of my friends are in that game and I don’t wanna lose contact even if I almost never see them in-game. Two, If I delete the game then the candles that I have saved up all these years would go to waste and I don’t like that.
This is so relatable it hurts
Cost-sink fallacy. I feel you homie. I'm in the same predicament.
you can link your sky account with a few accounts like google and steam and others.
delete the game, your progress will remain there
@@tirone7520 so what ur saying is that if i delete the sky app the progress will remain in the switch account?
@@Silly_Whitepikmin oh gosh, i use the android and PC versions, and the progress is available on both my devices. i assumed youre talking about phone/pc.
I'm not sure how it works for the switch. ill come back to your comment if i find smth, but definitely gotta search first before deleting.
I remember someone called this game "depression simulator"
I’m so serious nothing in the game aside from actual socialisation and posing with cosmetics maybe gives me dopamine like it’s the same candle run route and the same routine everyday straight for almost 3 years now and I’m so tired bruh. Like I get 0 dopamine yet I still force myself to play for nostalgic and sentimental reasons because I have to admit this game is very important to me but.. man.
Literally the exact same reasons as me. Nowadays I even forget the game exists until 1-2 hours before reset to do quests🌚
I hop on, do quests, make an outfit and immediately hop off
Literally me, except Im so broke my house is empty
My house looks like a dungeon

This makes me snort so loud lmaooo so true
i quit playing sky last month as a paid player and it's been nothing but heaven. For 20 Euros, which usually buys 1 event iap and a season pass, I've managed to score 5 whole games on Steam that were on sale. Webfishing has been endlessly more enjoyable to play with friends and then there's also Amber Isle and the Portal games that i've really been enjoying! Even after years and years of complaints, I always remained loyal to Sky... Which I now know was fomo... but right now? Right now Sky isn't even an option for me anymore in my daily life. The games I value all have what I want and what I can reasonably work towards at my own pace. It's the best choice I've ever made and I hope everyone reading this can find the same rest in other games too
Yeh that's what I do now just buy games on my switch on sale. Just finished Cult of the Lamb (also abbreviated to Cotl, funnily enough 😂)which was great
I also prefer to spend money on other indie games than in cosmetics that I won't even use for too long... Sky is a lovely game but has become sooooo tiring, unfortunately.
Lol, it's just comically empty now
Also, neat camera angles!
Exactly why I quit sky, I miss playing it but really I just got burnt out. It's really only fun if you have friends to play with, maybe someday I'll get back to it
if only i can relive the first time i played Sky, meet my old friends again, never worrying about candle runs and cosmetics, just pure fun and enjoyment. everything is so bland and stagnant now.
I came to sky to avoid the realities of life, not partake in them.
Watching this when I haven't played Sky in years... I felt burnt out when candle runs were barely over an hour. I can't imagine what the time must be now
Takes me back to the time when I used to play with my friends on Sky. It's actually been a while since I touched Sky, but I always think about my friends and the old times. I wish I was back in 2022 and enjoying the game. The year might've not been the best, but the game had helped me cope thru sm and the memories and people still remain in my head.
This is truly the Sisyphean task of all time!
what, i love when games try to implement real life qualities to their games so it feels like a chore and i can't have fun anymore!! !! :3
*im looking directly at you resize system*
Sky is basically an mmo. It even has the daily grind.
sky burnout so real they make it so unnecessarily difficult
I got this in my reccomended, and it just made me sad that the game is like this, even though I don't play anymore. I'm glad that I left during Aurora though, as at least my time ended on a high note.
You 100% had the perfect opportunity to do the reading emote when you sat in the chair next to your bed! Missed opportunity, but video was still great!!
Don’t worry I actually did! It’s just a bit difficult to see in that angle xD
413 candles for the shattering spirits was not enough. Why did I need 300 more candles
I've been playing since 2021 and even though it's hard to admit, the game is not the same anymore, it's too lonely. 😞
0:37 I wasn’t expecting that XD
Legit I only really pop into Sky to see if any furniture is worth getting and doing the dailies. I've since given up doing any kind of candle running and embraced that I'll just miss out on cosmetics (the FOMO stressed me out man). I missed when getting candles can be as simple as sitting at Grandma's table with a white candle out and letting the wax come to you :(
oh my you summed it up perfectly lolol
I’ve been playing for myself and my two other siblings and I literally only log on for dailies. I love grinding for stuff but cr’s are boring now. The past few times I’ve been on, I’ve just gone to Eden to guide people up to the storm because it’s actually allowing me to connect with others in this *social game*
Yknow it’s good when Emptea walks into the room and drops another vid
I am an Eden Uber. I rarely candle run unless it's with my friends.
Maybe it's ok if us veterans hang up our capes for a bit, relax, and enjoy what we've built together. :)
think i’ll do this, i love sky but i practically have everything right now and im satisfied so im not in any rush to candle run (still buy the season passes ofc and complete it) - it still doesn’t excuse the issues though
Accuracy in its purest form
BRO, YOU UPLOADED AFTER A LONG TIME, WE ALL MISSED YOU SO MUCH 😭❤️
It’s like working a nine to five 😭
I even quit playing.
I was already burning out, then played two days of the Halloween event, the first Moomin quest and... just stopped playing.
I feel bad, but everything is too much of a chore.
All we can do is get cosmetics. We candle run for cosmetics. But the pretty cosmetics are actually paid with real money, f2p get smaller or simpler cosmetics, for A LOT of candles or tickets. Everything is bugged. Everywhere has bugs. As soon as you get used to the bugs they release another event full of bugs and overpriced cosmetics. I-
I used to love this game and I'm sad
The need to relax from the demand for candle runs but the pain of fomo is never ending 😔
Nah, yk what I am doing? I am not bothering about TS anymore. I wanted the moomin pass as I loved (and still love) the storyline of the ongoing moomin season, but I tried all my luck and couldn't get the pass. So, I am now even doing dailies at my own pace. Not bothering about missing seasonal candles everyday is a blessing, really.
Sometimes, one thing can have both advantages, and disadvantages. I have spent all total $20 in game in my more than 1 year of playing sky (ignoring the bunny accessory, which I think most sky players have it as their first IAP). Do I regret spending them? Hmmmm yeah a bit. Because that value of money is precious for me. But.... at the same time, the happiness I had gotten at that time was unforgettable. My first SP and my first expensive IAP (Yeah I regret buying the cat prop of mischief, but when I get them to a group of people, I immediately start enjoying it 😂).
I made a lot of kind friends too, who always supported and loved me (still do btw).
Sky is something using which I escape the real world miseries, and I intend to keep the game that way. ❤
Don’t worry guys!! At least we’re experiencing the hard burn out and the never ending cycle of critiquing the devs, getting tired from playing, and watching beta videos for any scrap of hope together!
There's no time to take a break, one day of rest... Bye bye to that cosmetics you want. I called quit when I got burnout & cannot continue playing the game further. Is it my fomo or my sanity that I had to save first and in the end, I choose my own sanity. Everyday is like chore, what's the point when playing the game feel like having 2nd job?
A lot of times I don't do cr unless a friend drags me to do it and when I have a lil bit of candles I spend em all on friends
I just finished another school day. I literally jumped to the ceiling when I saw a new vid
Ah! you forgot to take the cinnamon from inside the shop! that gives you light as well
Candle running is the first thing I do after sending light and love to my smol friend constellation 💚
I don't fondly wait for that point when I've done all the stories and spirits 🙊 I might get bored and... Start socializing and making new friends in Sky!
I started to play, because my son started to play, because my mom and few of my siblings are playing 😂
Gotta learn all the cool ways to get the easiest candles as quick as possible.
Tbf, this starts to remind me of IMVU and getting those free daily points and calculating that if I wanted to decorate my own space nicely, it'd take 2,5 years with the free points 😂😂😂
I think it might take as much time with Sky too 😂
You should be thankful you have a bed. Most of us sleep on anything
Wow I love coming home from my irl job to spend 30-45 minutes playing my video game job out of what feels like obligation!! 🤩
Wanna get to the point where I'm mainly just playing music again, cuz that's where my heart is 😔
i love the camera work here!
the moment I have done something irreversible just to stay on sky again because of my friends in sky and now I don't even get to play with them since all of us have lives, feel so burned out and wants to reverse my decisions that I made:/
I play Sky since season of Little Prince... I got some seasonal passes since, but nowadays I truly prefer to only get the seasonal cosmetics that I want (without seasonal pass) and the rest of the time I'm practicing music. I really don't see the point of having all cosmetics anymore, it stressed me a lot. They really need to implement more lore into the seasons, we barely know anything about Eden. I also miss moments like Aurora concert.
i log on once in a blue moon to take pretty pictures and play event quests i missed
i love your film style!!!!!! this is so cute and clever and creative!!!
0:34 Made me burst out in laughter, holy.
Gotta say, the camera work in this was really solid. Great video!
one must imagine being relaxed in sky colt
Beautyful video.
For me Sky is a perfect way to relax after work. No difficult riddles to solve, no super hard bosses to defeat. Just a nice game to forget the real life problems for a while. You know, like a walk in the park. It's the same park every day but it's still nice. And occasionally you meet someone you know, greet each other, maybe chat a little. Very relaxing for me. The candelrun and daily quests just happen by the way while I do my walk in the park. ❤❤❤
3:10 love the angle here
2:17 also the one here
3:22 and this one
Love all the angles actually this is such a good video
I love the way you filmed this! it looks like a vlog haha 😆
That's what I spend the weekend doing when the Warrior of Love visited
Your shots are so cinematic!! Amazing job on the video
*_right?_* 😭
i feel like i can't even friend people as much as i used to or send hearts to friends, because i need to save the candles for future events....
THE WAY MY EYES POPPED OUT OF MY SOCKETS WHEN I HEARD THE FFXIV NAMAZU SONG
I clicked on this thinking about “haha funny sky meme” and suddenly found another FFXIV enjoyer, bravo for a new sub 💀
I love it when I randomly decide to use FFXIV OST in my videos and find other people who actually play the game too lmaoo
Hahahah this was adorable, good composition shots. also mildly relatable... xD;;;;
I started playing towards the end of the duets season and ive been having a blast..! Still lots for me to do honestly, but definitely have been falling into the quicker routines as of late with RL gettign a lil busy this time of year. Still. Im enjoying it, and I have fun playign with my friends. uwu
Aaah yeah just pls give us a break x)
I love the game but i cant afford to keep this pace >< i would be so happy if we had a longer time with no seasons or events. Just chilling time, appreciating what we got so far :)
I wonder how many of you agree with me ^^
~a veteran from season of sanctuary
I do for sure 🤚
-a veteran since inbetween the end of Gratitude and before Lightseekers
I feel Like Sky is so antisocial . No one helps anymore and it’s sad to see . Moomin is my last season unfortunately
Duet was actually my last season before I quit.
honestly sky is a job for me. i get home. i sit around. then i get on sky and flip flop around for 4 hours. daily. like clockwork. and i couldn't love it more 10/10
When I tell you I stay up until midnight each night and then sprint to the geyser before heading to fully candle-run the Prairie through the Hidden Forest to then go to Grandma's -_- it is such a stressful way to end my day, but I do it anyways o7 (also finding out that you can just bow at the quest spirits and get all four at once changed my life)
For a second I thought it was going to be a missing part of the orange candles.
this is so silly what
why is the editing so good-
I’m so burnt out I forgot I PLANNED TO BUY CANDLES for the latest aurora ts cape but missed it 💀
Wake up, complete daily quests, participate in three timed events, collect treasure candles, and engage in the shard event. If no shards are available, head to Harmony Hall to play music. Bedtime.
i stopped caring about crs and saving for traveling spirits. sky feels so much better now:,,)
love your vid!
Cute video ❤❤❤
Happy you’re publishing again 😊
I love how you filmed yourself in the beginning!!
i missed how it used to be. yeah sure i burnt myself being a perfectionist trying cr everyday. but i miss how chill it felt.
It do be like that, hecc i even started to talk to those spirits as if im there, doing my daily missions, so that i wouldnt go insane😭😭😭😭
Ngl, me personally, I'm waiting for the show and lore drop
i guess you could say playing now feels emptea
This game is really nostalgic for me, sucks to see that all this stuff is going on now
Genuinely have not gone online for several months because of this. When I was younger I was a major tgc apologist, but im just super done with their bs now 😭(as a reference, ive been playing the game since I was around 10-11, I’m 14 now.)
Honestly, sky has just gotten boring. Whenever I'm online is the loneliest I feel-- ESPECIALLY for a game that is meant to revolve around socialization. I mean, why even log on at that point? To repeat the same routine you've done everyday for the past 6 months? And for what? To get some fancy cape or maybe be able to afford that one item you've been wanting since forever? Ah but wait! That's an iap which costs $30. Thirty real life dollars. Even if you do buy it, there's always gonna be a new event; new iaps; more and more and more stuff. It's suffocating. I used to love sky when I began playing, but now that I've really gotten into the game it feels like a job; as if schoolwork and personal life weren't enough to worry about.
Sometimes I found myself procrastinating to candle run by watching videos. Procrasting. To play a game! Meant for making friends and customizing your character with cool outfits! What?????? Oh, and I'm sorry, friends that I have actually managed to make, I can't play with you and make use of sky's other interesting interaction features because I'm just so busy scrambling to get SEVEN HUNDRED CANDLES for the christmas event that's coming in a month. Guess that's just too bad.
I don't even know why I still play
Omg its been a while since I've watched one of ur vids :'), i used to copy ur main outfit like all of the time! (the crab mama cape and juggler's pants combo"
Aww this is so cute
I still love it, although it made me been through much pain ‘cause the people that used to be my friends all left me with different reasons😂
I did something wrong, so do they. And the end we just ended everything 👌
I’m feeling lonely, that’s for sure. But the experience the game gave me is so precious
the cycle continues
All im doing is saving right now. There's nothing much to buy until Christmas comes
