I love everything about this game expect that i cant get the achievement that i completed the game the destiny achievement (it worked with the hard mode achievement thats strange)
Fighting Shriek made me think of her as a big bad boss. Compared to us she was massive, but realizing in the end she was just a child. One who never had the warmth of parents either in the beginning, or the end. It's so sad..
I found her story to be tragic. It broke my heart seeing she didn’t deserve that. And she didn’t even get any sort of redemption. She had no choice but to return to her parents wings to die.
Shriek snuggling into her parents wings to finally die in peace made me break down in tears. She was born without her parents. She tried to fit in with the rest of her kind but got neglected until the darkness consumed her. The only thing she ever wanted was love, but she never got what she wanted until it was too late. Her tale actually breaks my heart
Where exactly was the peace in this. We killed her, she could barely move and she went back to the only thing she knew. We as light did this to her. And she died in the arms of parents she never had, she was never loved. When you call that peace, because she died throught her wounds, I don't. I was disappointed. Ofc not everybody can have a happy ending, but we actually did nothing for her. And Ori was for me the hope and the light, that touched the heart of many, like Gumo.
@@tenebrousnova636 Why redemption? What does she learn from this? Only pain. She wanted them to stay out of that part of the forest and wanted to keep it like it was, because she was safe there. This wouldn't give me redemption at all
If you look closely at the tree bark at the end as the camera pans up, you can see faces of the other 3 characters hugging the tree (Ori). They are together in the end :)
Before starting the game I thought "I'll be satisfied if this one is just half good as the first", but I must say...they did it again. Amazing masterpiece.
@Carlo Carugati the gameplay objectively is, about the story the first one emotionally hit me more, but this one is still awesome. I think they are bot masterpieces.
Nahh man the story in this one amazing too a little bit lacking as to why the decay grows and spreads but that's not addressed in the first game either, kuro didn't start the death and decay she was a symptom of it. So gameplay wise I liked it, story amazing. This one had just a little bit more oomph to it. However if there was a third installment it could be all about how the death and decay grows and spreads in their world, unless they're intending the circle of life being the reason, but I think it would be a bad reason since there is a concept of light and life being ori the spirits the tree etc etc, but no real concept of the death and decay it just is, and it spreads
@Lemon Bleach yeah, change is hard. Maybe well get another game with ori's child. But it's sad that gumo and naru are gone. Ku may still be around, though. Time's passing is bittersweet.
I know. Let's hope that when Ori's offspring awakens (don't know if the developers would want to do it) and if Shriek is still around, maybe that child could learn from Ori and in turn help her find love and happiness.
Regarding a potential sequel: If you go back and watch the prologue to the first game, you see how Naru finds Ori. Ori was basically a light leaf that got separated from the spirit tree and later became Ori, who Naru found in the forest. Same thing sort of happens here, you can see in the very last scene that a glowing leaf gets blown away from the tree. I do think this is the end of Ori's story (I mean, Naru and Gumo basically die of old age here, and Ku is straight up a Kuro-sized Owl in that shot where she flies by so I don't know if there's anything left to tell), but I imagine the new leaf may become the character of the next installment, if it happens.
To some extent you’re right, but back in the ending of the first installment, you can see an egg hatch which I’d imagine being Ku. So there’s two ways to see it. Either the two games are meant as a cycle where you play both and history repeats itself. But then there’s Shriek who I’d imagine needs saving from herself. So there might be third game that will focus on a new spirit sent by Ori to help her regain her senses and shatter the evil within her heart
Ye, that was the point of that scene I believe. I just wonder how they are planning to keep the title pattern. I know they could've just name it after the new spirit's name but that would make it harder to identify it as a series
@@panlis6243 it could also be that something bad happens, and that cause ori to somehow reincarnate as spirit guardian again. or that she will separate fragment of herself as spirit guardian.
Eman3848 Kuro is there too. I love how even though Kuro tried killing Ori throughout the first game, they still honor her sacrifice and put her picture on their drawing in the den as if she’s a part of their family
@@DiegoMex7 when I saw that I out loud said "why you do that?, oh no, these damn wisps and their stupid will. Ori don't do it, ori, ORI. Damn it he did it. Argh" lol I was more disappointed than anything. Don't like being a tree and want him alive, sigh 😥
The end that brought me to tears in my playthrough... Never have i cried this hard in a game before. I hope they will continue to expand and eventually make more games in this universe they have created~ They made this with their heart. and they certainly made me pour out both my own heart, and my tears.
The first game brought me to tears in the beginning while this one made me cry at the end. Both are fantastic games I hope they still continue with the franchise despite the ending. If they continue to pour their hearts into making more sign me up for more play
I’m gonna be completely honest and say that i started bawling the moment shriek noticed her parents. It’s easily the most heart breaking moment of the entire series because she never truly got the love she deserved and that makes me depressed.
He is alive, he transcended to be a Spirit Tree, so that he could give hope to Niwen and heal the land, as well as heal Ku (and her wing). The family happily moved to Niwen to care for Ori, and as he grew and aged, so did they.
I teared up when I saw Naru lean back and peacefully passed away on Ori's tree. She laid in the exact same position she found her father in when he passed. They were content and that's..... truly beautiful
I want them to make a third game, but if they do it might ruin this ending. I feel like this ending wasn’t just the ending for the this game but was the ending to Ori’s story. So if there is a new installment there would probably would be a different main character.
I read an article where Mahler and Coker were interviewed. When they were asked about another sequel they never said or implied 'No', Mahler even explained if they really wanted an Ori 3, they do have many ideas to use in moving forward.
Ori's offspring will journey to find the elementals, he will face a bird villain who had a fair motivation for being "evil", he will make friends (then they get hurt), he will go after some special light who will save the universe, etc, etc
Both villains in this franchise might somehow show a strong connection to what we called "Love". Kuro - the mother who went panic after witnessing the death of her own children when she tried to protect her kids. Shriek - a pitiful owl desperately grew in lack of protection, seeking out the warmth of love right when she was born just to be rejected by her own kind, until she finally neglected it. In the final moments, Kuro turned things right to save her last child, while Shriek tried to find her way back to where she was born- in her parent's arm. It might be like two ends of the same road - to protect, and lack of protection. In both endings, I think they perfectly wrap up this connection, and somehow, I just feel sad for the villains. The storyteller, the cutscene- all of these things truly deserve my respect.
I think it is an achievement of the game designers to make the player understand the villain better. Compassion and understanding are important in my opinion.
16:10 I just realized the ending cutscene implies that they all died from old age, Naru is struggling to walk with Gumo, they fade away and we dont't see Ku when the tree is fully grown. EDIT: I don't know why the PC version has Naru laying down on her back when she's on the tree but in this clip (xbox version) she's standing, interesting.
If you look closely at the tree while the camera pans up, you will see Gumo, Naru and Ku image hug around the tree. All 3 died and united with tree Ori.
_First, everyone ran from Kuro. _*_Now we hit Shriek in vengeance._* _How angry are we since Blind Forest?_ *_And every time you pause the game, the background moves still. And yet no one captures the nice VFX._*
@Zerebrat Eightyseven At least Ku grows too. *_But we wanted to play with Ku even more..._* 11:08 - *_Now we learned truth. Shriek just wanted to be loved..._*
@Zerebrat Eightyseven It must be. It's the circle of life in the Ori universe. *_Well for Shriek, I hope she will have the love she deserved... She needed comfort... and like every movie, her kin shunned her._*
@Zerebrat Eightyseven *_As if my stories were called "Hyoryuverse", yes._* _That game. Became the number one reason my head was obsessed with magic and fantasy. Now I wanted to create something of my own._
@Zerebrat Eightyseven The leaf is Ori son, like Ori was a son of Nibel tree. Remember what Sein told us when you found a tree with a new skill, they was like Ori and they turn into a tree, that show us what will happen to Ori someday.
When I played it, the beginning didn't really feel that powerful compared to the first. But the end... good God it was incredible and bitter-sweet! Poor Shriek... she just needed love from the beginning. It's so sad that she was alone in the end, trying to cling to whatever warmth her parents' bones could offer. And Ori becoming a tree was a nice way to wrap up his story. I wonder what spirit will be venturing forth next should they make more games in this universe. Now I feel like I need to replay Blind Forest after completing this game.
I got light of Nibel on my credits. I thought it would be different but as soon as I heard it, it really brought me back to when I beat blind forest for the first time
I feel like we at least needed one last reunion between Ori and Ku at the end. I think we, the players, deserved it since Ku was 100% part of the storyline with the first half having us look for her and the second half us trying to heal her as well as everyone else. It seems very unfair and only intensifies the amount of sadness as you realize that the moment where they reunited halfway through the game was the last time they would ever see each other. I know you can’t have everything, especially in this game, but I feel like one last reunion between the two wouldn’t be too much to ask for. It reminds me of the end of Lord of the Rings, but instead of reuniting with Gandalf and the other company, Frodo immediately jumps on the ship and sets off to loo loo land. Like SLOW DOWN Moon Studios!
Shriek made me cry more than Ori, she didn't deserve to die after she was born alone with no one. I got teared when she was yelling while flying made me think that She calling her mother and her father about her Injuries. That should hits everyone more than Ori had.
Why did you have to write this? Because of you, I started crying so hard that I fell off my bed and my mother started scolding me to not watch these kinds of videos...
Am I the only person who lost my shit when you find out that voice you heard the whole time was Ori all along?? I was not ready for the beauty of this game. What a masterpiece!! Cant wait for their next project.
Shriek deserves a happy ending too. I'm glad Ori restored Niwen but it's also Shriek's home. A child never experiencing love in all her life doesn't deserve such a sad and empty ending. There has to be a sequel and Ori's child needs to fulfill what his/her parent set out to accomplish, trying to give Shriek love.
This ending made me cry harder than anything in my life. No movie, show or game has ever hit me so hard. I wish I could forget these games so I could replay them for the first time again.
Never have I ever cried so hard for a video game. Watching Naru died on Ori's lap is so beautiful yet hurts me like nothing else. I want to play the game again for the achievements, but probably won't because I can't take all the FEELS MAN.
This is what Moon studios does. They make you hate the antagonist and then they make you cry because of it. I think this is the perfect ending. Judging by it I think there is still material to continue the story and I hope Moon studios will give us another ori game in the future.
I was expecting an ending like this to happen at the end of a trilogy, kind of makes me sad that this is where Ori's tale ends. Feels too soon. If they do make a third installment I have no idea how they'd do it, or even how they would top this. My guess is if they want to keep the trend of Ori and the __, he will be reincarnated (maybe even as our own custom Ori). If not that then maybe a prequel, and last possibility (which is highly unlikely) is an alternate timeline like if Ori failed to be able to embrace the light or Ku just did not fly to Niwen. Great game regardless. Edit: I just had an idea for a potential sequel. One of the themes that people have pointed out is the cycle. A new spirit is born, becomes strong, and then absorbs the light from the tree to become a new spirit tree, repeat. Well, what if one of those spirits was not pure of heart and instead of using the light to become a spirit tree they keep it for themselves, threatening the cycle and becoming a dark, greedy, power hungry spirit. This is where Ori reincarnates themselves, weakened, finding remnants of his old life, explore familiar places twisted and decayed by greed and darkness, and struggles to become strong enough again to challenge this greedy spirit to restore the cycle and ensure the continuation of life. We could possibly even get assistance from other spirits (because at the end of Blind Forest there were more spirits being born) which could give the option of Co-op play. Ori and the Children of Light, maybe? This is if they intend to continue the Ori and the __ series, which I hope they do. This series is too good to be left to rot. edit 2: another option is a dlc granting an alternate ending.
a Prequel wouldn't make much sense. In the start of Blind Forest, Ori was born/created while the storm raged and found by Naru before the forest withered, so we witnessed Ori's story from start to finish(?)
@@Shakzor1 A spinoff then for the prequel, maybe tells about the spirit who became the first spirit tree, I don't know. I'm just wondering if they're done with the Ori series or if they have something else planned for it in the future.
I was literally thinking the same thing Star. But instead of it being about Ori, its about another spirit having trouble with living with the idea that people pass on. So they try to find out a way so that people don't die, by defiling the light.
I just finished the game. This was a beautifully emotional experience. I was using this as a way to help me with all of the sad feelings I’ve been trying to hold back from everything going on in my life right now. I am now a wreck and I can’t stop thinking about it. It was a mistake to think this would help me with my sadness, but I am still glad I got to experience this emotional journey. I hugged my dog after I finished playing. She was laying on my bed watching me play through it. I always felt that Ori kind of looks like my dog so I always felt it was necessary to play this game whenever she was in my room. Overall, I loved this game. I will keep thinking about it for a long time and of course, I will be listening to the beautiful soundtrack a lot as well.
Same here man, hope things get better for you! This was definitely more than just a game, I keep coming back to this scene every once in a while, it's a bitter sweet ending but a beautiful one, as life itself
This game really tears on your heartstrings. I feel so bad for Shriek. First thing I searched after playing through the ending was if there was an alternate ending where Shriek becomes friends with the rest, but I couldn't find anything. Man... why did they have to do this to us? Poor Shriek. I really don't want to accept that she just died alone like that...
The leaf scene is clearly for a sequel. It wouldn't be Ori tho but it would be still about a Guardian Spirit. Also it doesn't show Gumo's and Ku's deaths so they could show up in a potential sequel
@@panlis6243 they didn't show their death but kinda hinted it, that they died from age. i mean, they stayed near ori (now tree) for decades to grow so big.
@@manaeth Maybe. They are still alive when he's a big boi tree and also I think we don't know anything about their lifespans and everyone of them seem to be a different specie so Idk. I say it's not impossible but it would also make sense for them to be dead
The only sad thing about this ending is shriek. Ori doesn’t die, he just turns into a tree. Still capable of thought and communication, and obviously remembers everything or he wouldn’t be narrating the story to us. It’s a beautiful ending to a beautiful game, I just wish shriek had gotten some closure. Otherwise it’s perfect, Naru and Gumo spend the rest of their time together caring for Ori as he grows into the new spirit tree of Niwen, and we get to see Ku all grown up looking just like her mother.
This game is...not just Art. It is, i think, the best game. By the game i mean First one and Sequel. It's one story. And why it's the best? It tells you basic things about the Life. It makes you happy, makes you kindlier. It makes you cry. This game is must have for childrens. We are all starting to forget about friendship, love, sacrifice, light and dark, caring of nature. I don't know, but this game somehow strongly resembles to me The Land Before Time cartoon for some reason. It was about dinosaurs journey to better place. Have great music and amazing painting of backgrounds too. And themes of life, death, friendship are was there too. Thanks you developers. Feels bad for them a bit, because there is still no patch for game, and audio buzz bug is still here and it breaks mood and flow of the game for sure. And I understand what they just can't finish patch fast because of virus pandemic right now.
the whole ending cutscene is just very emotional omgg and also did the end [ the leaf scene ] show us how the first game started because that was very amazing wow
It seems that the spirit tree of Nibel serve to control and regulate the elements of nature, kind of like an administrator. And the administrator create copies (spirit guardians) to protect the domain (Nibel). The spirit willow of Niwen, on the other hand, mainly oversees the cycle of life and death with its light while seemingly not producing as many spirit guardians as Spirit Tree of Nibel. Both spirit trees have very similar power but they protect the land with different methods. Is it possible for there be a Mother Spirit Tree, Yggdrasil, that produced various spirit trees to oversee the lands? We need a prequel to explain the origin of all spirit trees. Maybe the death of mother spirit tree created the Ori universe.
I really hope that the leaf that broke off the tree gives birth to new spirits.. I want a 3rd game so bad - ori could narrate it as well. Somehow I didn't cry in the ending but still. amazing, amazing game. Masterpiece.
That moment really it what shined me the most, the flashbacks, the music, the struggle, as well Ori releasing Kuro's feather since she and Ku never said goodbye gets me. I never did expect that to come. :'(
I think it would be even more powerful if it also included flashbacks from The Blind Forest. Basically Ori remembering his while journey from the moment Naru found him
Is it just me or is the end credits different on the steam version. I have a black screen instead of the sunset, the music is different and the little murals are also different.
The credits on PC have Light of Nibel from the first game playing. Which I honestly think is totally fine since this is the end of Ori’s story, only appropriate to end it with that instead of just the title theme again, as good as that song is
What a fucking thrill of a fight, the buildup to shrieks fight, the beautiful visuals, the god tier music. This is one of the only games that has made me cry just from sheer spectacle but the music and heart wrenching story didn’t make it any easier. Such a good fucking game
It's bittersweet but Ori definitely lives despite being merged with the light. Hence how he's the narrator. And I like to look at that feather as Ori being reborn as another vessel of light once again to continue the cycle(potentially in a sequel)? Like reincarnation but he's self aware. We can only hope. It's a rather optimistic, happy ending for everyone and these characters at least deserved that. Shriek was the most heartbreaking part for me. I don't think she died but instead just tried to find some comfort in her dead parents from her defeat. Still very sad to me though. Perhaps because she reminds me of myself in some ways. Angry and afraid of change, very spiteful, etc. Her outcome really hurt to watch and it would have been great to see her finally embrace light and love but her arc suits the story. As is with life, some things are just too damaged to embrace any form of change and remain who and what they are. Living with that kind of pain and anger for so long, even if you dont want to anymore, can have you get lost in it and it truly becomes a part of who you are and you'll avoid changing it until the day you die, where maybe THEN you might show just a moment of weakness and regret for not doing so. Just like I think Shriek did. Sorry for rambling lol but this story really hits me. It's so well done.
I just finished the game. 30 hours of gameplay and now I can't stop crying... my first game in a long time and it broke my heart. I cried at the beginning, but I haven't thought a moment that the ending will broke me in pieces. Excellent game and story.
"Ori: Life Begins Anew" Would be a pretty standard title for part 3 if they choose to. it keeps both the previous games story, and also allows for a continuation to be made through his children. this is again with the "if" because they also said in this game that some can be saved, while others choose to remain in darkness. So they could simply leave it at Shriek is past saving since she still chose Darkness. Either way i am SO satisfied by this series. So well done.
If they do make a third installment here’s what I think will happen. So at the ending the leaf that broke from the new spirit tree created by Ori my be a spirit which Ori sent out himself to help Shriek. Some might think Shriek is dead but I don’t think she is, the fight might’ve reminded her about the warmth she never had so she returned to her deceased parents alone and upset. So I think the new spirit may (possibly) be called Ori or something else since Ori gave his current life to support the light. So the journey may venture somewhere else or back in an altered Nibel, as the new spirit ventures with Shriek to find her rightful home.
I play many games but this ooh boy and then that ending, i can say that i'm a emotional WRECK. My eyes really hurt from crying. GAMES LIKE THIS ARE PURE ART
God of war 2018 cant even dream with that epic last fight. On that game you dont even hear the music during bosses. Here is a super important part of the game and it makes it much more epic
My dad purposefully bought an Ori plushie for me the day after I finished the game because he saw me crying because at the time I didn't think Ori was coming back and to this day I still have him and in perfectly condition
Ori is the first game that made me accualy cry, there were some games but they could make me at most sad but never cry. one is sure before i play the next one i need to watch a shit ton of happy things to not cry the moral of this is Monsters are made not born
They said after they want to make AARPG but of course this is not the end of the franchise Thomas Mahler said they not planned to do a second they only do it because the fan wanted a second game
Omg I need to meet every single dev from this game, people behind the art, soundtrack and story. I wanna hug one by one and tell them whay they created is art! Thank you for this thrilling and touching journey. Playing all the way from Brazil
When he said My name is Ori. I think hes still alive, how could he tell the story if hes dead? He could be the new leaf that came off the tree. You can look in the credits scene for clues. The clues in the credits scene is different. Look at images
2:42 Is my favourite part because it reminds me once upon a time before March last year, my height was complete, but after that my heart was crushed, just like the orb of light, and now there’s only darkness the blackest of darkness inside of me August, however, was when I finally snapped.
So, it looks like a lot of time passed in the ending cinematic. Naru and Gumo are implied to have died of old age, but I dont think the same is true for Ku. Also note that there was a second egg in Shriek’s nest. So there is still potential for a spin-off. Edit: i just noticed Ori did not just revive Ku when Ori sacrificed itself, but Ku’s wing was also fixed.
I am Tony. I was here during the corona virus pandemic. I played this game and it made me really appreciate life, as I was starting not to see the value in life. This game was and is a masterpiece. I have never been so emotional about a game. 💘
I have one small nitpick with how the game ended - Shriek's final resting place should've been somehow "acknowledged" after Ori was reborn as the spirit tree. Like I get that she rejected the light/couldn't live with it but I refuse to believe that Ori [even in the spirit tree form] - the emobidiment of whats good and pure didn't turn that final resting place into some sort of meadow or a place where other animals can be born and live free. The ending kind of looks like even in death Shriek has been abandoned and her pain hasn't been ackowledged at all, which pains me a little.
Even though it’s been well over a year since I played this, I can still vividly remember watching the ending. Despite the fact that I don’t usually react much at all while playing games, especially alone, my jaw outright dropped at the “When my name was Ori.” This was a freaking masterpiece dude.
I thought Ku's coma/death broke my heart beyond repair. Then I thought Kwolok's death after succumbing to the decay broke my heart even further. But after seeing Shriek die under the fossilized wings of her dead parents, Ori giving up their form to become the next guardian of Niwen, and the rest of the original main characters growing up and passing away from old age under Ori's tree..... F*cking hell dude. These two games were absolute masterpieces. While it may hurt to think this story has come to an end, it was an adventure the whole way through.
I have played a lot of games, hack and slash action, bloody and violent, i mean i have enjoyed all genres, but this is the first time a game actually made me shed a couple of tears, i mean how on earth did moon studio was able to do that, this game is a masterpiece congrats to all of you who completed the game and even a bigger sheers to all of us who beat the game in hard
9:03 - The music and the bird rising, god i love it
I know right? When is It available?
12am local time on xbox and tomorrow on steam
Thank you, tovarish!
Music is gorgeous. And it is 3 hours long!
I love everything about this game expect that i cant get the achievement that i completed the game the destiny achievement (it worked with the hard mode achievement thats strange)
Fighting Shriek made me think of her as a big bad boss. Compared to us she was massive, but realizing in the end she was just a child. One who never had the warmth of parents either in the beginning, or the end. It's so sad..
The saddest thing is Ori tried to offer her kindness but she was in the dark for too long
I found her story to be tragic. It broke my heart seeing she didn’t deserve that. And she didn’t even get any sort of redemption. She had no choice but to return to her parents wings to die.
I cried so much with that part.
im through, now im sad
love from vietnam
"When my name was Ori"
completely killed me.
Can't stop crying man
Me too
Me too
does that mean that there's not going to be another ori game?
@@lyhthegreat Ori's offsprings more like it.
Shriek snuggling into her parents wings to finally die in peace made me break down in tears. She was born without her parents. She tried to fit in with the rest of her kind but got neglected until the darkness consumed her. The only thing she ever wanted was love, but she never got what she wanted until it was too late. Her tale actually breaks my heart
i'm not really sure Shriek died, i think she just rejected the light, and continued to live in the darkness
She probably died, but in peace, i’m not sure about that one... she looked so scared
Where exactly was the peace in this. We killed her, she could barely move and she went back to the only thing she knew. We as light did this to her. And she died in the arms of parents she never had, she was never loved. When you call that peace, because she died throught her wounds, I don't. I was disappointed. Ofc not everybody can have a happy ending, but we actually did nothing for her. And Ori was for me the hope and the light, that touched the heart of many, like Gumo.
I wish Shriek was able to get some redemption. Ori gave her the chance when the wisp wounded her.
@@tenebrousnova636 Why redemption? What does she learn from this? Only pain. She wanted them to stay out of that part of the forest and wanted to keep it like it was, because she was safe there. This wouldn't give me redemption at all
If you look closely at the tree bark at the end as the camera pans up, you can see faces of the other 3 characters hugging the tree (Ori). They are together in the end :)
for some reason, the texture next to Ku was like Kuro, Ku's mother
Hm
Rudo Mikazuki It probably was intentional. I believe it was definitely Kuro.
Why are you doing this to me, I just stopped crying T_T
didnt even notice this, good find. Thanks for making me cry again
Before starting the game I thought "I'll be satisfied if this one is just half good as the first", but I must say...they did it again. Amazing masterpiece.
@Carlo Carugati the gameplay objectively is, about the story the first one emotionally hit me more, but this one is still awesome. I think they are bot masterpieces.
Nahh man the story in this one amazing too a little bit lacking as to why the decay grows and spreads but that's not addressed in the first game either, kuro didn't start the death and decay she was a symptom of it. So gameplay wise I liked it, story amazing. This one had just a little bit more oomph to it.
However if there was a third installment it could be all about how the death and decay grows and spreads in their world, unless they're intending the circle of life being the reason, but I think it would be a bad reason since there is a concept of light and life being ori the spirits the tree etc etc, but no real concept of the death and decay it just is, and it spreads
They both masterpieces
I am now depressed by the ending, I wanna accept that Ori is still alive and saved Niwen, but I still miss him being a smol light babby...
once i realized it was ori narrating the story... tears
THEY KILLED KU AND THEN THEY HAD THE NERVE, THE AUDACITY, THE ABSOLUTE CRUSHING BOLLOCKS TO TOUCH ORI!!
@@JackEGee-il9mz Ori didn't die. It just grew up.
Big same, BEST GAME EVER. I cried a lot :^(
@Lemon Bleach yeah, change is hard. Maybe well get another game with ori's child. But it's sad that gumo and naru are gone. Ku may still be around, though. Time's passing is bittersweet.
What an incredible journey this was. I felt so bad for the Shriek at the end :/
Shrek 👌
@Arusiek90 Shriek is dead.
@Jimi T. Giving up will to live is basically dead at this point.
Nickos Oficial No
I know. Let's hope that when Ori's offspring awakens (don't know if the developers would want to do it) and if Shriek is still around, maybe that child could learn from Ori and in turn help her find love and happiness.
Regarding a potential sequel: If you go back and watch the prologue to the first game, you see how Naru finds Ori. Ori was basically a light leaf that got separated from the spirit tree and later became Ori, who Naru found in the forest. Same thing sort of happens here, you can see in the very last scene that a glowing leaf gets blown away from the tree. I do think this is the end of Ori's story (I mean, Naru and Gumo basically die of old age here, and Ku is straight up a Kuro-sized Owl in that shot where she flies by so I don't know if there's anything left to tell), but I imagine the new leaf may become the character of the next installment, if it happens.
To some extent you’re right, but back in the ending of the first installment, you can see an egg hatch which I’d imagine being Ku. So there’s two ways to see it. Either the two games are meant as a cycle where you play both and history repeats itself. But then there’s Shriek who I’d imagine needs saving from herself. So there might be third game that will focus on a new spirit sent by Ori to help her regain her senses and shatter the evil within her heart
Ye, that was the point of that scene I believe. I just wonder how they are planning to keep the title pattern. I know they could've just name it after the new spirit's name but that would make it harder to identify it as a series
@@panlis6243 it could also be that something bad happens, and that cause ori to somehow reincarnate as spirit guardian again. or that she will separate fragment of herself as spirit guardian.
@@Kurdati ehhh well shriek is kindaaaa dead soooooo...
trenton adams she didn’t look dead, just sad
I love how at 16:47 when it pans up the tree, you can see the faces of Naru, Gumo, and Ku naturally engraved into Ori
Eman3848
Kuro is there too. I love how even though Kuro tried killing Ori throughout the first game, they still honor her sacrifice and put her picture on their drawing in the den as if she’s a part of their family
Chung Nguyễn
You’re right, I misspelled it. Changed it
I believed I will not cry anymore with this game.
But I failed with you commentary -crying like a baby
Of all the things in this game, Ori letting go of Kuro's feather is what did me in...
Same here, I feel so sad for Ori and Ku, since they never saw each other again without saying goodbye. That's scene with the music is special.
@@DiegoMex7 Technically Ori became the tree so they did get to meet each other afterward.
Yeah it's like, "it's over, all Ori's story is over".
Like letting go this feather is letting go all of his adventures, his life
@@DiegoMex7 when I saw that I out loud said "why you do that?, oh no, these damn wisps and their stupid will. Ori don't do it, ori, ORI. Damn it he did it. Argh" lol I was more disappointed than anything. Don't like being a tree and want him alive, sigh 😥
It's like Ori giving up the one thing she came to Niwen for
The end that brought me to tears in my playthrough... Never have i cried this hard in a game before. I hope they will continue to expand and eventually make more games in this universe they have created~ They made this with their heart. and they certainly made me pour out both my own heart, and my tears.
The first game brought me to tears in the beginning while this one made me cry at the end. Both are fantastic games I hope they still continue with the franchise despite the ending. If they continue to pour their hearts into making more sign me up for more play
Both of you are right, I want this universe to continue too, these are so emotional yet gorgeous games!
try playing RiME, the game itself isnt all to well thought out, but the story to it is heart melting
have you really cried
No game made me cry that much before. so many different emotions in so little time...
10/10
Another game that can make cry because is such beautiful is Gravity rush 2
@@Heimdall66 not even close, sry
@@AlexiosLair excuse me???!!!
Giving a game 10/10 cause of emotions? watch a movie instead of playing something...
@@masterburgn you sound dumb as fuck right now
I’m gonna be completely honest and say that i started bawling the moment shriek noticed her parents. It’s easily the most heart breaking moment of the entire series because she never truly got the love she deserved and that makes me depressed.
I just really wanted Ori to live with his happy family but...I guess this counts
He is alive, he transcended to be a Spirit Tree, so that he could give hope to Niwen and heal the land, as well as heal Ku (and her wing). The family happily moved to Niwen to care for Ori, and as he grew and aged, so did they.
Same here, but maybe that's also cause I was hoping for more Ori games. Maybe something will happen and he'll get his old life back again? Who knows.
And also, we don't know what happened to shriek, meaning he could come back as a villian for the third game.
I am sad):
I hope ori to come back
This game...is beautiful.
11:06. This scene made me open my mouth in shock
It's so sad .... ;_;
What do you know? I just straight cried...
OK seriously who is cutting onions?! ;-;
@@HerrscherOfSenti XD
R.I.P Shriek, may you find happiness.😢
I teared up when I saw Naru lean back and peacefully passed away on Ori's tree. She laid in the exact same position she found her father in when he passed. They were content and that's..... truly beautiful
The only thing that disappointed me, was Naru not becoming stone on the root of "Ori". This would be truly content, at least in my opinion.
I gotta stop reading these comments or I too will start balling
Omg I didn't notice she had passed
I want them to make a third game, but if they do it might ruin this ending. I feel like this ending wasn’t just the ending for the this game but was the ending to Ori’s story. So if there is a new installment there would probably would be a different main character.
Ori's son, the feather could be an indication. Or daughter.
@@Muchinger Ori was not specified to be either male or female, I think, could be wrong. I guess maybe due to them being a spirit.
They start the story with the leaf, end the story with the leaf. If they make a 3rd season, it might break the perfect circle…
How about Creed: Ori's Legacy! ;-)
@I'm A Degenerate yeah I thought so, but when I scrolled through the wiki they said its unconfirmed so I started doubting myself.
Can't wait for a sequel. It would be awesome seeing a giant tree running through the area with its branches behind, Naruto-style.
The next bird villain wouldn't stand a chance, lol
hahahaha
I read an article where Mahler and Coker were interviewed. When they were asked about another sequel they never said or implied 'No', Mahler even explained if they really wanted an Ori 3, they do have many ideas to use in moving forward.
Ori's offspring will journey to find the elementals, he will face a bird villain who had a fair motivation for being "evil", he will make friends (then they get hurt), he will go after some special light who will save the universe, etc, etc
@@BobMcBurger1 so why in the end you can see a leaf leaving the tree, it was the same thing that happened to ori in the first game
Both villains in this franchise might somehow show a strong connection to what we called "Love".
Kuro - the mother who went panic after witnessing the death of her own children when she tried to protect her kids.
Shriek - a pitiful owl desperately grew in lack of protection, seeking out the warmth of love right when she was born just to be rejected by her own kind, until she finally neglected it.
In the final moments, Kuro turned things right to save her last child, while Shriek tried to find her way back to where she was born- in her parent's arm.
It might be like two ends of the same road - to protect, and lack of protection. In both endings, I think they perfectly wrap up this connection, and somehow, I just feel sad for the villains. The storyteller, the cutscene- all of these things truly deserve my respect.
To make it a little brighter, I thought about it like Shriek finally met her parents in his second life.
I think it is an achievement of the game designers to make the player understand the villain better. Compassion and understanding are important in my opinion.
The Ending nearly killed my eyes including my tears.
Ending sucked
The moment 15:17 where i noticed the voice talking is Ori... Goosebumps
cry. cry. cry. Why they didn't call their game a Will of the Tears?!
Ehf Ds kexibt
First game would also be called “Ori and the Feels Forest”
Except it did not even get me close to crying
@@hollow_dbd are you okay?...
Why both games about Ori are so...sad, it's not bad, but i can't stop crying, these are so perfect stories...
I’m glad I’m not the only one that cried a few times 🥲 it was so touching 🥹
I don't cry in games, I'll tell you the top game for my age, if part 3 came out it would be great
16:10 I just realized the ending cutscene implies that they all died from old age, Naru is struggling to walk with Gumo, they fade away and we dont't see Ku when the tree is fully grown.
EDIT: I don't know why the PC version has Naru laying down on her back when she's on the tree but in this clip (xbox version) she's standing, interesting.
Riahisama GOD DAMNIT I JUST STOPPED CRYING
@@shutdown_ec7555 :(
If you look closely at the tree while the camera pans up, you will see Gumo, Naru and Ku image hug around the tree. All 3 died and united with tree Ori.
@@Kenzaki1010 oh shit you are right their images are ingraved on the tree surface wow
I think maybe they kind of 'join' with Ori? You see them in the bark of the tree.
_First, everyone ran from Kuro. _*_Now we hit Shriek in vengeance._*
_How angry are we since Blind Forest?_
*_And every time you pause the game, the background moves still. And yet no one captures the nice VFX._*
@Zerebrat Eightyseven At least Ku grows too.
*_But we wanted to play with Ku even more..._*
11:08 - *_Now we learned truth. Shriek just wanted to be loved..._*
@Zerebrat Eightyseven hope not. Don't want a repeat of Kuro's pain
@Zerebrat Eightyseven It must be. It's the circle of life in the Ori universe.
*_Well for Shriek, I hope she will have the love she deserved... She needed comfort... and like every movie, her kin shunned her._*

_That game. Became the number one reason my head was obsessed with magic and fantasy. Now I wanted to create something of my own._
@Zerebrat Eightyseven The leaf is Ori son, like Ori was a son of Nibel tree. Remember what Sein told us when you found a tree with a new skill, they was like Ori and they turn into a tree, that show us what will happen to Ori someday.
best game ever i seen in my life .. emotion makes the game
Gameplay makes the Game.
Mark Masterburg
Now you’re going to all of the comments criticizing people for getting emotional at this game. Grow up man.
I swear the music and the player simultanously transitioning into her new arena with Ori's theme being blasted is so damn cool.
When I played it, the beginning didn't really feel that powerful compared to the first. But the end... good God it was incredible and bitter-sweet! Poor Shriek... she just needed love from the beginning. It's so sad that she was alone in the end, trying to cling to whatever warmth her parents' bones could offer. And Ori becoming a tree was a nice way to wrap up his story. I wonder what spirit will be venturing forth next should they make more games in this universe.
Now I feel like I need to replay Blind Forest after completing this game.
The ending of Shirek and the moki father was so sad.
komaguy the moki father made me cry too :(
I feel you...
Blind Forest credit song : Light of Nibel
Will of the Wisps credit song : Light of Niwen ?
I got light of Nibel on my credits. I thought it would be different but as soon as I heard it, it really brought me back to when I beat blind forest for the first time
I also got the Light of Nibel, with plain black background…it kinda surprise me when i see this different credit
I think they might’ve changed it after it released for everyone. Every play through I’ve seen before release doesn’t play light of nibel
This end credits uses Will of the Wisps main menu song, while PC version uses Light of Nibel
And maybe next game: Light of Ori.
12:10 through 12:53 would have been 10x sadder if it also included memories from the first game. Regardless, I got hit by a feels train big time.
I feel like we at least needed one last reunion between Ori and Ku at the end. I think we, the players, deserved it since Ku was 100% part of the storyline with the first half having us look for her and the second half us trying to heal her as well as everyone else. It seems very unfair and only intensifies the amount of sadness as you realize that the moment where they reunited halfway through the game was the last time they would ever see each other. I know you can’t have everything, especially in this game, but I feel like one last reunion between the two wouldn’t be too much to ask for. It reminds me of the end of Lord of the Rings, but instead of reuniting with Gandalf and the other company, Frodo immediately jumps on the ship and sets off to loo loo land. Like SLOW DOWN Moon Studios!
Look at the spirit tree trunk. Their faced are printed unto it. Their last reunion.
So sad.
Helluva boss reference there
Shriek made me cry more than Ori, she didn't deserve to die after she was born alone with no one. I got teared when she was yelling while flying made me think that She calling her mother and her father about her Injuries. That should hits everyone more than Ori had.
Why did you have to write this? Because of you, I started crying so hard that I fell off my bed and my mother started scolding me to not watch these kinds of videos...
@@nehh_aksat Sorry, Shriek needed to take her rights...
So, this is basically the Cycle of Light and Dark, but we get friends, and they die near us. Prepare to Cry.
Darksouls intensifeis.
well ye ,but u talk like its like a joke and its not nice
It's all about nature man, this cycle of death and life is the ultimate cliche. It still effective tho, not gonna deny that
"Yes, indeed"
Ori will forever live on as one my favorite games ever. A beautiful, storytelling masterpiece.
Am I the only person who lost my shit when you find out that voice you heard the whole time was Ori all along?? I was not ready for the beauty of this game. What a masterpiece!! Cant wait for their next project.
Shriek deserves a happy ending too. I'm glad Ori restored Niwen but it's also Shriek's home. A child never experiencing love in all her life doesn't deserve such a sad and empty ending. There has to be a sequel and Ori's child needs to fulfill what his/her parent set out to accomplish, trying to give Shriek love.
yeah, LET SHRIEK HAVE A HAPPY ENDING!
This ending made me cry harder than anything in my life. No movie, show or game has ever hit me so hard. I wish I could forget these games so I could replay them for the first time again.
I’m the only one who didn’t cry, but I was very sorry for Ori
Same man, same
Never have I ever cried so hard for a video game. Watching Naru died on Ori's lap is so beautiful yet hurts me like nothing else. I want to play the game again for the achievements, but probably won't because I can't take all the FEELS MAN.
This is what Moon studios does. They make you hate the antagonist and then they make you cry because of it. I think this is the perfect ending. Judging by it I think there is still material to continue the story and I hope Moon studios will give us another ori game in the future.
I was expecting an ending like this to happen at the end of a trilogy, kind of makes me sad that this is where Ori's tale ends. Feels too soon.
If they do make a third installment I have no idea how they'd do it, or even how they would top this.
My guess is if they want to keep the trend of Ori and the __, he will be reincarnated (maybe even as our own custom Ori). If not that then maybe a prequel, and last possibility (which is highly unlikely) is an alternate timeline like if Ori failed to be able to embrace the light or Ku just did not fly to Niwen.
Great game regardless.
Edit:
I just had an idea for a potential sequel. One of the themes that people have pointed out is the cycle. A new spirit is born, becomes strong, and then absorbs the light from the tree to become a new spirit tree, repeat. Well, what if one of those spirits was not pure of heart and instead of using the light to become a spirit tree they keep it for themselves, threatening the cycle and becoming a dark, greedy, power hungry spirit. This is where Ori reincarnates themselves, weakened, finding remnants of his old life, explore familiar places twisted and decayed by greed and darkness, and struggles to become strong enough again to challenge this greedy spirit to restore the cycle and ensure the continuation of life. We could possibly even get assistance from other spirits (because at the end of Blind Forest there were more spirits being born) which could give the option of Co-op play. Ori and the Children of Light, maybe?
This is if they intend to continue the Ori and the __ series, which I hope they do. This series is too good to be left to rot.
edit 2:
another option is a dlc granting an alternate ending.
a Prequel wouldn't make much sense. In the start of Blind Forest, Ori was born/created while the storm raged and found by Naru before the forest withered, so we witnessed Ori's story from start to finish(?)
@@Shakzor1 A spinoff then for the prequel, maybe tells about the spirit who became the first spirit tree, I don't know. I'm just wondering if they're done with the Ori series or if they have something else planned for it in the future.
Children of Light is already another iPhone game and there’s Ubisoft’s Child of Light too but good ideas!
Ori and the Flowers of Dawn 🌷
I was literally thinking the same thing Star. But instead of it being about Ori, its about another spirit having trouble with living with the idea that people pass on. So they try to find out a way so that people don't die, by defiling the light.
I just finished the game. This was a beautifully emotional experience. I was using this as a way to help me with all of the sad feelings I’ve been trying to hold back from everything going on in my life right now. I am now a wreck and I can’t stop thinking about it. It was a mistake to think this would help me with my sadness, but I am still glad I got to experience this emotional journey. I hugged my dog after I finished playing. She was laying on my bed watching me play through it. I always felt that Ori kind of looks like my dog so I always felt it was necessary to play this game whenever she was in my room. Overall, I loved this game. I will keep thinking about it for a long time and of course, I will be listening to the beautiful soundtrack a lot as well.
Same here man, hope things get better for you! This was definitely more than just a game, I keep coming back to this scene every once in a while, it's a bitter sweet ending but a beautiful one, as life itself

"Cry Baby"
No words for how much Beautifull this masterpiece game and story with art and music is. Forever in my mind.
This game really tears on your heartstrings. I feel so bad for Shriek. First thing I searched after playing through the ending was if there was an alternate ending where Shriek becomes friends with the rest, but I couldn't find anything. Man... why did they have to do this to us? Poor Shriek. I really don't want to accept that she just died alone like that...
That would ruin all the feelings of the end of this game. Right? Better leave it like this.
Kuro to Shriek: Who are you?
Shriek: I'm you, but stronger.
I wonder if moon studios is done with Ori for now... I don’t see any way to continue this story unless it’s a spinoff. Kinda makes me sad
The leaf scene is clearly for a sequel. It wouldn't be Ori tho but it would be still about a Guardian Spirit. Also it doesn't show Gumo's and Ku's deaths so they could show up in a potential sequel
@@panlis6243 they didn't show their death but kinda hinted it, that they died from age. i mean, they stayed near ori (now tree) for decades to grow so big.
@@manaeth Maybe. They are still alive when he's a big boi tree and also I think we don't know anything about their lifespans and everyone of them seem to be a different specie so Idk. I say it's not impossible but it would also make sense for them to be dead
Even so its for the best of the story
@@Shrimpstan Pretty much
Good lord, I never expected to get emotional over this game. What a great game.
The only sad thing about this ending is shriek. Ori doesn’t die, he just turns into a tree. Still capable of thought and communication, and obviously remembers everything or he wouldn’t be narrating the story to us. It’s a beautiful ending to a beautiful game, I just wish shriek had gotten some closure. Otherwise it’s perfect, Naru and Gumo spend the rest of their time together caring for Ori as he grows into the new spirit tree of Niwen, and we get to see Ku all grown up looking just like her mother.
The soundtrack of this game is an absolut masterpiece..
This game is...not just Art. It is, i think, the best game. By the game i mean First one and Sequel. It's one story. And why it's the best? It tells you basic things about the Life. It makes you happy, makes you kindlier. It makes you cry. This game is must have for childrens. We are all starting to forget about friendship, love, sacrifice, light and dark, caring of nature. I don't know, but this game somehow strongly resembles to me The Land Before Time cartoon for some reason. It was about dinosaurs journey to better place. Have great music and amazing painting of backgrounds too. And themes of life, death, friendship are was there too. Thanks you developers. Feels bad for them a bit, because there is still no patch for game, and audio buzz bug is still here and it breaks mood and flow of the game for sure. And I understand what they just can't finish patch fast because of virus pandemic right now.
the whole ending cutscene is just very emotional omgg and also did the end [ the leaf scene ] show us how the first game started because that was very amazing wow
Yeah. It's a cycle. As it was stated in the sand ruins.
It seems that the spirit tree of Nibel serve to control and regulate the elements of nature, kind of like an administrator. And the administrator create copies (spirit guardians) to protect the domain (Nibel). The spirit willow of Niwen, on the other hand, mainly oversees the cycle of life and death with its light while seemingly not producing as many spirit guardians as Spirit Tree of Nibel. Both spirit trees have very similar power but they protect the land with different methods.
Is it possible for there be a Mother Spirit Tree, Yggdrasil, that produced various spirit trees to oversee the lands? We need a prequel to explain the origin of all spirit trees. Maybe the death of mother spirit tree created the Ori universe.
Boy I love your thoughts, I hope they will expand more of Ori lore.
I really hope that the leaf that broke off the tree gives birth to new spirits.. I want a 3rd game so bad - ori could narrate it as well. Somehow I didn't cry in the ending but still. amazing, amazing game. Masterpiece.
Did anyone else notice that Ori's walk to Seir is the reverse of the the end of the first scene in the first game?
yep
I noticed it was very very similar yea. Its cyclical. As it says at the end "life begins a new" it ends where it started.
I cried so hard at the mere struggling Ori had getting to Seir, it was literally the beginning of the first one ;-;
That moment really it what shined me the most, the flashbacks, the music, the struggle, as well Ori releasing Kuro's feather since she and Ku never said goodbye gets me. I never did expect that to come. :'(
I think it would be even more powerful if it also included flashbacks from The Blind Forest. Basically Ori remembering his while journey from the moment Naru found him
I'm crying, this game is awesome !
Is it just me or is the end credits different on the steam version. I have a black screen instead of the sunset, the music is different and the little murals are also different.
The music we got on pc is better than this one, the sunset is beautiful though
The credits on PC have Light of Nibel from the first game playing. Which I honestly think is totally fine since this is the end of Ori’s story, only appropriate to end it with that instead of just the title theme again, as good as that song is
@@froakie1404 I finished it last night on Xbox one X and got the black background and light of nibel music
It depends whether you 100% the game or not
PC master race my friend
What a fucking thrill of a fight, the buildup to shrieks fight, the beautiful visuals, the god tier music. This is one of the only games that has made me cry just from sheer spectacle but the music and heart wrenching story didn’t make it any easier. Such a good fucking game
It's bittersweet but Ori definitely lives despite being merged with the light. Hence how he's the narrator. And I like to look at that feather as Ori being reborn as another vessel of light once again to continue the cycle(potentially in a sequel)? Like reincarnation but he's self aware. We can only hope. It's a rather optimistic, happy ending for everyone and these characters at least deserved that.
Shriek was the most heartbreaking part for me. I don't think she died but instead just tried to find some comfort in her dead parents from her defeat. Still very sad to me though. Perhaps because she reminds me of myself in some ways. Angry and afraid of change, very spiteful, etc. Her outcome really hurt to watch and it would have been great to see her finally embrace light and love but her arc suits the story. As is with life, some things are just too damaged to embrace any form of change and remain who and what they are. Living with that kind of pain and anger for so long, even if you dont want to anymore, can have you get lost in it and it truly becomes a part of who you are and you'll avoid changing it until the day you die, where maybe THEN you might show just a moment of weakness and regret for not doing so. Just like I think Shriek did. Sorry for rambling lol but this story really hits me. It's so well done.
I just finished the game. 30 hours of gameplay and now I can't stop crying... my first game in a long time and it broke my heart. I cried at the beginning, but I haven't thought a moment that the ending will broke me in pieces. Excellent game and story.
A rare gem in my games collection, this game is a masterpiece!
"Ori: Life Begins Anew" Would be a pretty standard title for part 3 if they choose to. it keeps both the previous games story, and also allows for a continuation to be made through his children. this is again with the "if" because they also said in this game that some can be saved, while others choose to remain in darkness. So they could simply leave it at Shriek is past saving since she still chose Darkness. Either way i am SO satisfied by this series. So well done.
If they do make a third installment here’s what I think will happen.
So at the ending the leaf that broke from the new spirit tree created by Ori my be a spirit which Ori sent out himself to help Shriek.
Some might think Shriek is dead but I don’t think she is, the fight might’ve reminded her about the warmth she never had so she returned to her deceased parents alone and upset. So I think the new spirit may (possibly) be called Ori or something else since Ori gave his current life to support the light. So the journey may venture somewhere else or back in an altered Nibel, as the new spirit ventures with Shriek to find her rightful home.
Shriek died, didn't she? In the arms of her parent's skeletons.
I play many games but this ooh boy and then that ending, i can say that i'm a emotional WRECK. My eyes really hurt from crying. GAMES LIKE THIS ARE PURE ART
God of war 2018 cant even dream with that epic last fight. On that game you dont even hear the music during bosses. Here is a super important part of the game and it makes it much more epic
My dad purposefully bought an Ori plushie for me the day after I finished the game because he saw me crying because at the time I didn't think Ori was coming back and to this day I still have him and in perfectly condition
I spoiled myself. AMAZING!!
I love that the main melody from the blind forest is included in the will of the wisps but in a different version.
Is this how my childchood end? Isnt it? From Born of Ori to when he become tree.
Sometimes some of the story end in like that way my man. :(
Wait is that mean no more Ori??
@@vendetta7531 probably... But we dont known yet.
@@jalinCZE what i only know its that white leaf
@@FurroTheWolf
Since Ori became a tree the new character will be New Ori (Nori for short)
So the game will be named "Nori and the Fate of the Light"
Ori is the first game that made me accualy cry, there were some games but they could make me at most sad but never cry. one is sure before i play the next one i need to watch a shit ton of happy things to not cry
the moral of this is
Monsters are made not born
This game is so so underrated. I almost hear nobody talk about it in GOTY lists, when arguably this game is one of the best games made in 2020
I really hope this isn’t the end of Ori and that a third game comes in the future.
They said after they want to make AARPG but of course this is not the end of the franchise
Thomas Mahler said they not planned to do a second they only do it because the fan wanted a second game
Omg I need to meet every single dev from this game, people behind the art, soundtrack and story.
I wanna hug one by one and tell them whay they created is art!
Thank you for this thrilling and touching journey.
Playing all the way from Brazil
I finished the game like 10 minutes and I’m not afraid to say I bawled my eyes out at this ending.
When he said My name is Ori. I think hes still alive, how could he tell the story if hes dead? He could be the new leaf that came off the tree. You can look in the credits scene for clues. The clues in the credits scene is different. Look at images
He bacame the tree.
The leaf could be ori's child so if there is a new game there would be the child of ori as protagonist.
@@Muchinger I think it's more of an incarnation
Ori was the spirit tree all along. He was the narrating the stories till now.
2:42 Is my favourite part because it reminds me once upon a time before March last year, my height was complete, but after that my heart was crushed, just like the orb of light, and now there’s only darkness the blackest of darkness inside of me August, however, was when I finally snapped.
Max's wife JaeJae is going to be pissed at the ending, and I am not going to spoil it.
So, it looks like a lot of time passed in the ending cinematic. Naru and Gumo are implied to have died of old age, but I dont think the same is true for Ku. Also note that there was a second egg in Shriek’s nest.
So there is still potential for a spin-off.
Edit: i just noticed Ori did not just revive Ku when Ori sacrificed itself, but Ku’s wing was also fixed.
Poor Shriek, she deserved to know joy and love, she didn't deserve to die alone, please Moon Studio leave her alive.
Man the Shriek Story and the final of this game makes me cry :(
Wow you must have head ups in every upcoming console game
I love that I didn’t see the ending twist coming right until just before it happened and it made me teary eyed
I am Tony. I was here during the corona virus pandemic. I played this game and it made me really appreciate life, as I was starting not to see the value in life. This game was and is a masterpiece. I have never been so emotional about a game. 💘
13:39 those small particles that appeared were either Oris physical form breaking down or the seed for the spirit tree burrowing.
I have one small nitpick with how the game ended - Shriek's final resting place should've been somehow "acknowledged" after Ori was reborn as the spirit tree. Like I get that she rejected the light/couldn't live with it but I refuse to believe that Ori [even in the spirit tree form] - the emobidiment of whats good and pure didn't turn that final resting place into some sort of meadow or a place where other animals can be born and live free. The ending kind of looks like even in death Shriek has been abandoned and her pain hasn't been ackowledged at all, which pains me a little.
So beautiful
Literally bawled my eyes out at finishing this game
The arial fight makes me go insane
Even though it’s been well over a year since I played this, I can still vividly remember watching the ending.
Despite the fact that I don’t usually react much at all while playing games, especially alone, my jaw outright dropped at the “When my name was Ori.” This was a freaking masterpiece dude.
Oh my GOD. I feel soo bad for Shriek. That moment when he crawls back to the corpse of his parents. It fucking broke me
I thought Ku's coma/death broke my heart beyond repair.
Then I thought Kwolok's death after succumbing to the decay broke my heart even further.
But after seeing Shriek die under the fossilized wings of her dead parents, Ori giving up their form to become the next guardian of Niwen, and the rest of the original main characters growing up and passing away from old age under Ori's tree..... F*cking hell dude.
These two games were absolute masterpieces. While it may hurt to think this story has come to an end, it was an adventure the whole way through.
It's the greater lesson of what cycle life and karma are in games. Incredibly beautiful, thank you so much :")
I’m gonna be honestly I cried a little during the ending cutscene
I've just finished the game and I don't know what to say, just crying for half an hour.
Ori isn't gone.
He's just not here right now.
Until the new leaf falls and settles on the grass.
I want more
I WANT MORE
No Ori more Game , final chapter Ori
