I recommended a headpat from Fenie herself. Although she deserves a good life. She is so determined to ensure that her foster parents to meet up again, that unknowingly burning her lifeforce out.
I cried like a baby when they reveal Fenie backstory , that girl deserved the world. Phoenix is a cosmic being and on par with Bahamut is nice. To know that there's previous civilization confirm about Robomi as well as seem legit now cause Phoenix gonna wipe the board time to time.
Spoiler: Phoenix is a nuclear fusion Supercomputer So true, me also almost cry during the Farhana backstory. And if Phoenix can foresee everything, its truly Phoenix come here to fulfill Farhana & Merlin wish and to save Fenie. without her coming Fenie may not make it. The event may be rush, but it is truly a good story
Something I thought during the event when they mentioned Abramelin was alive before the world turned into what it is now is "so why Wardant never woke up before Robomi if he was alive?" but then I remembered the issue Wardant had was *creating* new life with that "Ancient" connection, not being actually Ancient.
Wardant was much before abramelin's time. Robomi's civilazation was present 70.000 years ago. Abramelin and the whole deal with the omnipotent was 6000 years ago. So he doesnt have anything to do with wardant.
Wardant was debunked by MSQ. The Latest ones, that is. Same writer, 'Ube'. It's not meant to be taken seriously. AS in, non-canon. Whether Phoenix 'wipes the board' isn't known. It was just a theory by Raziel.
@@Chrisbun1 It wasnt. We know that the omnipotent arrived on earth 7000 years ago. And humanity was already there as we seen with the precursors and the moondwellers. Robomi's civilisation was present 70.000 years ago. And due to their advanced progress, the universe created an anti-matter law to balance itself, wardant and the abominations. They are referred to as "old world rules", since they are from "our" earth, and not the one created on top of it, by the omnipotent. Phoenix wiping the board doesnt have to relate to this, since robomi's civilazation's dowfall was of their own making. If anything, the fact that Phoenix is 3 milion years old, confirm that many civilizations were present in the past, since earth would have been free from the omnipotent for all that time, and likely more. Phoenix wiping the board is a theory from magus sure, but basic media literacy would suggest that it's something that happened, or giving that information would be useless in that context, plus it's clear that Phoenix and the omnipotent are against eachothers because they are both on earth, and want the other out of it.
I love the callbacks this theme has to early musical motifs from the start of this whole skyfaring journey, the triumphant percussions from Fight with a Primal Beast reborn in a new form feels like a warm reunion with an old friend. Fenie's love transcending what feels like an eternity, even if it's like a brief moment for the Phoenix moved me so much. I'm glad that the 3rd act of this anniversary story was a fun journey from start to end once everything began to fall into place. 🥹 Happy 10th anniversary, Granblue Fantasy! Estalucia;;; soon!
I feel Faa copying Phoenix is how he's gonna appear in Relink. As for Best Momdad moving... Yeah, this is just preparing for the real final arc of the event timeline, maybe also the main timeline as well.
Needless to say, although the 140 event stories so far were very interesting, unique, meaningful and impressive, this story, Heart of the Sun, was absolutely incredible as a 10th anniversary event. The world of the Granblue Fantasy has gradually expanded and the mysteries has revealed mainly in every single anniversary event such as the existence of the eternal, fallen angel, moondweller, cosmos, the six dragons, orologia and history of the war etc. Surprisingly, it became even wider scale! The creativity of scenario writers seems to have infinitude. Thank you for GBF team's dedication and uniqueness. Celebrate the 10th anniversary!
@@DragonMCMultiverse I should clarify, *side story (some major side story I also read). MSQ I never skip since Nalhegrande arc. To the point I havent unlocked the recent Malice raid cause I wanna stack the chapters.
I love how the whole fight is like Phoenix: OH no I have been weaken to this pitiful state I now will embrace sweet death NOT!! And then six dragons show up and she like Phoenix: OH SQUARE UP HONEY!! Also did she just give Faa San a hint on how to escape from the other dimension.
@@doankayz9598 My expectation is that she's going to seek a path to the future, Sabrina isn't going to disrespect Abramelin's rest, she's not disrespectful like that, so odds are she's gonna look for a way to warp her presence into the future, echoing the words and deeds of Fenie
God, the first two part felt so much like a clusterfuck of story, but part 3 ABSOLUTELY knocked it out of the park and concluded everything so well. This year's event is GOATED af.
Especially everytime there is a flash back at first I was just expecting the usual "oh yeah this the tragedy" Then part 3 roll in I have this part of me broken to realize that "oh no he remember it wrong all this time it even more hurt now"
Kinda disappointed Ultra Grand God Kaiser never appeared in this event to fight Phoenix its also a good excuse to add Zooey for this anniversary event considering Phoenix's appearance is obviously going to destroy the balance of the world
@@TricksterPoi It was vaguely stated at the end of the event that Phoenix true intentions appearing is actually to indeed end her life by the hands of the singularity and at the same time let Abramalin choose between finally laying to rest or spend time with his family yet retaining his immortality
@@ExiaAvalancheMkII Did you read the event? Cause none of that was what happened, Phoenix's ultimatum was "Melin or Fenie", either way Melin would eventually die, as he would no longer be immortal Phoenix absolutely wanted us to grasp the Omnipotent's Power, but she did not seek suicide, considering Logia knows Something Is Up and that Phoenix has intentionally goaded Lucilius, I think she seeks for us to have power sufficient to face something beyond even her might Maybe its what lies in Estalucia, maybe its something else
I LAMENT THE LACK OF BANGING ORCHESTRAL ROCK ANNIV OST AAAAA PLS PLS SAIGE I NEED MORE PARADISE LOST, PARADISE LUST, AND PEACE & QUIET This event is pretty nice, but might be unpopular opinion, I think ...and you fits 10th anniv better than this. Tho I dont understand why people seems to complaining abt how Fenie is playable as grand unit immediately bcs she's got quite big role since most of the phoenix we saw in the story was actually her and not the actual Phoenix. I mean, Rei's case back then was way worseeee.
The problem is that its 10th anniv and both the ost and even the story doesn't fit to be a 10th anniv one, hell ...and you seems more a fitting annuv event than this.
@@noirerune3833 exactly! Its story is quite decent but for 10th anniversary it would be rather nice if the story is focused on the player. Though I think they intended to kick the game lore much forward unto the climax with the phoenix appearance.
El hombre habia estado buscando morir por 6 milenios, se merece el descanso eterno. Ademas, esto es Granblue. Con pocas excepciones, nadie queda muerto para siempre.
Part 1 and 2 were boring as fuck 3 went balistic doe. If it was as interesting as how things went on Home Sweet Home or and you (not to mention the entirety of WMTSB), this could have been memorable
It did what it needed to do. Filled in a huge chunk of the lore, and set the stage for the final chapter. The next anniversary will probably be the end of the story. Not that it'll be EoS probably. Just the end of the story. Cygames is probably working on the next game in the franchise behind the scenes. Like how they brought out Granblue right as Rage of Bahamut was getting to the end of its main story.. Though hopefully Bahamut doesn't destroy the world again... Though if you ever look at it, the Grancypher is goddamn massive. And it was built by a guy named Noa(h)....
@@dhanyl2725 Ceodric is actually a really good plot point for contrast In this story. but his character is really insufferable. He embodies the idea that he would kill to bring the power balance and repeat the cycle Something Seofon does not like. and later on Seofon realize they themselves are weak in comparison to Phoenix. and just like Ceodric they rally together to ensure a future for them and not being swept by the strongs decisions. In the end it reminded Seofon on what it is to be weak and hopefully instill something within him But the final contrast is the fact that they had the option to End Phoenix but they did not. Which then Embodies the Creed of eternal crew. Being strong enough to be a deterrent. Now that Phoenix has an equal again. He is no longer strong and capable of being the one to decide but there is a deterrent to keep it in check the same way the eternal limits themselves to being a deterrent for any uprising power trying to shuffle the cycle out of control.
Ceodric sucked all the wind out of every scene by being a black hole of contrived and nonsensical motivations. In that way, he was the perfect host for the Phoenix's power, because she was the same. Emotional scenes between the good Melin and the cute Fenis didn't make up for the character assassination of Sabrina, and that entire subplot was more disturbing than romantic. The final nail in the coffin is Seofon showing up in her fate episode to mansplain her entire internal plight back at her (for the audience's sake). Shame too, since I like the idea, but the way they wrote it just wasn't it.
man, i thought this was just a basic battle song, i can't believe this is a new song, lol maybe i'm hoping too much for it having a lyric in it, really, i thought this theme just a common gbf battle theme, nothing unique
I think it's a nice theme callback for going "full circle", since the event itself is a sequel for the very first event of GBF. So a rendition of the main battle theme is very fitting, thematic wise.
i was playing this battle while working, had it on mute because of that turned up the volume to hear the music in case it was a banger and thought it was regular primal/battle music, put it back on mute after the fact imagine my surprise and disappointment that im finding out the same thing too lmao
@@ezerutan-nx1bo yes, it's meant to be symbolic of "remember when you first started" thing since it's 10th anniversary. Reminds me of final battle of Persona 4 when they just use bits of orchestrated regular battle theme
Are the 6 dragons stupid? They clearly can't take on the phoenix, who can just wait until Danchou dies of natural causes to try and start the second War.
I mean that is endgame for phoenix in the end, it has all the time in the world and can just wait, but the 6dragons are quite finite and don't want their "short" time to be destroyed. By themselves they wouldn't stand a chance yeah but in here they also had the deterrent of blue danchou so the threat had weight in that moment compared to later
That assumes that was even the real goal... Lu Woh cautioned against thinking too hard about Phoenix's true motives, but the facts add up that its goals don't make a whole ton of sense as-is Causing an omni-apocalyptic War using the Singularity is a pretty image up-front, but nothing occurring would actually lead there, the Astrals have no stake in this, the Primals care naught for the Astral Realm neither, and Magus doesn't get to revive Astaroth, so whomst would drag the Astrals into a second war?

It may also be that ending a cosmic force like Phoenix would bring a disaster similar to the one that occurred when Bahamut was split in two, destroying it could have caused another cataclysm.
The plot twist of Fenie actually being the one to visit Abramelin time and time again actually broke me. 😭

Are the 6 dragons stupid? They clearly can't take on the phoenix, who can just wait until Danchou dies of natural causes to try and start the second War.
6 dragons: Nah we'd win
Stand proud, Phoenix. You're strong.
I mean that is endgame for phoenix in the end, it has all the time in the world and can just wait, but the 6dragons are quite finite and don't want their "short" time to be destroyed. By themselves they wouldn't stand a chance yeah but in here they also had the deterrent of blue danchou so the threat had weight in that moment compared to later
That assumes that was even the real goal...
Lu Woh cautioned against thinking too hard about Phoenix's true motives, but the facts add up that its goals don't make a whole ton of sense as-is
Causing an omni-apocalyptic War using the Singularity is a pretty image up-front, but nothing occurring would actually lead there, the Astrals have no stake in this, the Primals care naught for the Astral Realm neither, and Magus doesn't get to revive Astaroth, so whomst would drag the Astrals into a second war? The moon getting involved once things are underway is also implausible, as we know the Moon is still on a slow recovery after the destruction of Diaspora and Omega-3 and isn't looking to re-engage for millenia
And we know Phoenix isn't stupid enough to miss that, its powers of prediction and forethought are sufficient to not only know when and where Sabrina would be born, but what the name of that place would be, so little details like that should have been easily noticed
But if Phoenix merely wished to orchestrate its part in the family reunion, why the huge battle? It could have easily let the reunion happen, kill Abramelin to grant him peace, and levied the ultimatum for his life or Fenie's without the huge battle?
No, I know naught what the purpose of it all is, but there's two very clear things
Phoenix LET US grasp the power of the Omnipotent, an inkling of truth in the motive delivered to Raziel, it put on a grand show but in the end it intentionally let us win, goading even Magus to our aid with its show of weakness
And Phoenix needs us to clash with Lucilius anew, perhaps in Estalucia, perhaps elsewhere, thus why it showed Lucilius an idea of escape
Aside from that, I suspect part of the conflict's orchestration was intentionally to remove Ceodric from the board, in a way that severed his bond with Sabrina, so that she could reconcile the mental mess, to properly fulfill that promise, and also Ceodric was a dickhead who probably was destined to die on the path he was walking anyway(probably by getting mega-ganked by Seofon) so using him was likely minimal disruption to the future Phoenix sees
What other goals it sought to accomplish I am unsure, perhaps driving the Diviners into contact with the Crew was also essential, perhaps that was just an inevitable convenience of Phoenix taking a hands on approach
And amongst all this, I doubt Lu Woh misses that whatever is going on, whatever battle Phoenix is truly fighting, its unlikely to just scorch the world the moment we're gone, if it wanted that it coulda done so before we were born, as easily as after, or just killed us in a way we couldn't stop, remember that Phoenix approached us at the beginning, asked about our memories, whatever game Phoenix is on, its being played above mortal ken, similar to Nereus and Logia's own endeavors
It may also be that ending a cosmic force like Phoenix would bring a disaster similar to the one that occurred when Bahamut was split in two, destroying it could have caused another cataclysm.
