The final fight against Emet Selch! Or maybe Hades?
Shadowbringers Finale 
Игры
There's something about Emet's line of "very well, the victor shall write the tale and the vanquished become its villain" that really gets to me - just this moment of "all questions of moral high grounds are set aside - it's all down to which of us can fight for our ideals harder"
It's just what it is. Emet realizing that they're arguing from the opposite sides of the same coin, trying to save who they love, with all their power (Emet and WoL). There's no definitive right or wrong in this story. Just the winner becomes the history's author.
How do you write a good conflict?
You make two characters whose goals are completely incompatible. You make those goals personal, to the point where they would have to effectivelly *give up who they are* in order to give up their goal. With that kind of set-up, conflict is inevitable. The characters will fight.
Ran'jit wants Minfilia to be safe, no matter what she chooses. Thancred wants her to make her own choices. Even if it means Minfilia will die. Either Minfilia. Their goals are incompatible, and they cannot give it up without breaking who they are.
Hades and the Warrior of Light are fighting for those they love. Their goals are completely incompatible: in order for one of those groups to live, the other group must die. Neither can yeild. The conflict is personal, and inevitable. The music's tone sells it: the Warrior of Light must give it their all in this fight, *because Hades is.*
Trial. By. Combat.
Very uniquely and well edited. To my knowledge, probably the only double playthrough that exists anywhere on FFXIV. Cheers to you all.
One that I've seen a few times is Cobrak who played the FFXIV story along with his wife. They took turn reading lines and had a great time together.
Cobrak and his wife's playthrough is super wholesome
Lucron did Endwalker with his friends.
brit, k caley plays with her friends. it's pretty cute
@@seekittycat100%! Cob and Sophie's playthrough is precious af
Still get chills every goddamn single time when the theme kicks in
No matter how many times I see someone finish 5.0, no matter how many times I finish 5.0 for an alt, it hits
same. Every time.
Ardbert at the start: This world has no need for heroes.
Emet-Selch at the end: My world will have no need for heroes.
"This world has had its fill of heroes" "My world will have no need for heroes"
"We Ascians know because it is our history, our story" "This is our future. Our story"
The theme to Emet's second phase, "Invincible", really sounds like a choir of weeping singers, violins & trumpets friggin screaming their heads off in pain at BGM 100%
It feels like the first time the boss is actually trying to kill us.
Not just "anyone in front of them," actively _trying_ to kill _specifically_ us.
That moment when the WoL actually starts talking, will forever be one of my most favourite moments in entertainment period. Along with the rest of the entire game, ofc - it just stands out so much
15:20 Emet-Selch says "[...] come let us cast aside tiles and pretenses and reveal our true faces to one another". When the battle starts his title card is just Hades. Unlike other bosses that always have some title or subtitle.
I've always liked that
Besides, he's HADES. He needs no further introduction.
"Weary wander... you've no fight left to fight, no life left to live."
That one throwback to the Shadowbringers trailer hits me so hard every time.
Also, Duty Finder is finally canon.
For me that line never really fits but I'm like "Oh I see, he's trying to debuff me!". Nice try Emet little do you know I get the Axe and Guitar buff shortly. My hype cannot be stopped!
I tear up every time when Ardbert passes the axe. I can't help it, man.
Find yourself someone who loves you as much as Kyle loves the idea of Ascian Space Torture Prison.
"It is true that all we hold dear is fated to fade away. But that is no reason for us to forsake it." A quote I always remember. And what I think of when I think of Ysh.
1:15 "If I were to bring my full strength to bear you would be as leaves in the wind."
5:24 "Be this also thy purpose? And immediate shutdown.
7:40 "It's your time buddy, whachu got?" He's got an axe.
10:10 Not gonna lie, I was cackling like a lunatic at this part. It always psyches me up.
11:08 "I like that first one a lot." So do I. Emet's been testing and challenging us this whole time, now we challenge HIM.
13:11 Exarch made duty finder canon in lore.
19:25 "I did not have "finish 5.0 tanking alongside JC on my bingo card for today" absolutely killed me for some reason."
25:40 Did you catch what he was saying at the end there? "That Light split the world, and every life upon it." He has so much rage at Hydaelyn for causing the sundering.
Who ever had the idea for putting the channel add after the on stream call out of stalling. You are a genius.
As someone with an Anti-Authoritarian streak, it was incredibly pleasing at the time, and here in the video.
7:20 man those cuts to each of your characters is such a chefs kiss!!!
I love that this shows both sides of gameplay and the transitions were good, frankly only thing I love as much as playing through this content is seeing others experience it, it's like reliving that initial moment all over again.
8:40 - Goosebumps! EVERY ... SINGLE.. TIME I see it!
❤ Ardbert!
NAHUEL! That opening edit into the ad!! You monster! Brilliant!
Also those light edits are just amazing!
I wish I could have seen Jesse's reaction to your reaction haha Like him (and many FFXIV players) I am a fiend for reactions to these amazing moments.
Emet-Selch, his seat. Hades, his true name.
I love the character swapping on the light bursts in the cutscene, great edits!
The only guitar riff that will always make me emotional
I've carved my own path, You followed your wrath, But maybe we're both the same
The world has turned, And so many have burned, But nobody is to blame
Yet staring across this barren wasted land
I feel new life will be born
Beneath the blood stained sand
every time i watch 8:40, i feel like i'm watching it for the first time. thank you for taking us on this journey with you
This editing with the clean transitions 😍especially love the cut between the light flashes! Well worth the wait
The editing is SO good!
Ardbert: "Take it. We fight as one."
Garret & Kyle at 11:28: "....... Together, Kyle?" "Together".
It truly is a day for bromances
boy oh boy, the edits went so hard. well done
I have been waiting for months for this moment.
Man I'm so excited for these guys. The game just keeps getting better and better. I'm currently working my way through endwalker for the first time. I'm still of the mind that shadowbringers is the best expansion but endwalker has so much going for it.
@David Moore oh yes... oh we know.
Lol how is Lil Jc somehow in every play through I’ve watched.
He is a particularly hungry vampire.
IMO, this part before the trial is one of the high moments of Shadowbringers, once Ardbert is there. Another high point...is in the next video.
this part.. I can watch it over and over. .it gives me SHIVERS!!!!!
chills. chills every single time
I assumed the light QTE was confirmation that each of the summoned was a Warrior of Light from one of the other worlds/shards
This was 1000% the most epic scene in an mmo ever!
The ending of 5.0 is peak ff14, and the best moment in the game for me personally. My only wish is when you are starting to turn and emet taunts you, they actually have ardbert save you while your actually turning, letting you wonder for just a bit omg are they actually gonna make us become a monster, then ardbro saves us as the last second
I got more and more worried about how late it was getting for you guys because the first time I finished 5.0 I couldn't sleep at all LOL. I'm like oh no how will you kids function the next day?? I hope you guys scheduled a vacation day!
"Your final judgement" indeed
NEVER gets old!!!..
My fav trial of shb, especially the extreme ver
WEEEE FAAAAAALLLLL!
I knew they should've installed railings in that place..
Oooh. The editing *chef's kiss*
yeah, they just keep getting better.
We see it GG, keep it up.
FFXIV has this trend where there is an expansion which blows away expectation followed by one that is around the same level of quality, which has me really excited for the next expansion.
One brings shadow and one brings the shade.
I just noticed that Hades has actual arms. Those larger ones, with the rod and red highlights, are like extensions of his cloak or something?
Other MMOs: "You are the chosen one! And if you group up with other chosen ones... ehm... just ignore that!"
FF14 after Shadowbringers: "You are the Chosen one! And When you group up with others, you are literally summoning yourself from other Universes to fight together!"
this part, hyped me so freaking much, i lost it when i was playing it, too bad i tried ffxiv again a few weeks ago but alone is not the same....
I know this was a year ago but seeing delirium a sitting there not being used in the DRK kit the whole expansion kills me inside
Don't worry. They got better 😂
warrior of light be like, we opposed against the rejoining by rejoining
The Dark Devours
That Light split the world and every life upon it.
Our tragedy must never again come to pass.
By His grace will darkness reign over all.
Death comes for Her servants.
me when I scurry and scatter 🐀 🏃🏻♀️
There are two fights in this game I love seeing in df :)
11:38 --- Synchronised ^.^
