The sad thing is that both Vaas and Jason were both puppets with Citra being the puppet master. Vaas did try to warn Jason in his own crazy way. Both of them broke free of her but they were forever damaged by her. Vaas was with her longer which is why he is more damaged.
i mean, it's pretty much just fc3, except jason and vaas' roles are reversed due to the change in perspective, they were both victims of citra in fc3, it's just that the dlc explicitly says so from the start instead of slowly revealing it in fc3, y'know, because vaas already knew from the start of the game.
For those wondering, the tennis ball is both Jason Brody and Vaas. Since it has Jason's mohawk and Vaas's scar on the head. Showing that him and Jason were the same and pretty much that's why he did that. Symmetry theory or whatever.
It's a meta reference to when Michael Mando was doing performance capture for Far Cry 3, he gave his performances to a tennis ball on a stick to represent the "player" camera.
Weird how Vaas Kinda became the image of far cry, at least in my opinion, and how he's much more memorable then the character we play as, and most of the other far cry villains, vaas was an icon that defined a generation of games, a generation we'll all miss
for me playing as vaas is weird because i’m so used to his glaring into my eyes making him pretty memorable, with this new perspective i can’t see Vaas’s expressions and glaring tone, playing as Jason really helps that he’s obsessed with you which i miss
“Lean back. You’re blocking out the sunlight” was what the cynic philosopher Diogenes told to Alexander the Great after he offered to do anything he wanted.
When I saw the comment before I started the Video I was like why is this guy Quoting Diogenes??? Then when I came to the end of the video. And saw Vaas Looking at Sun. Then I was like Fuck. Vaas Reads Philosophy and I am sure he hates Plato and Aristotle 🔥🔥 Diogenes insulted and won a argument against Plato and said he isn't the right Successor of Socrates as he indulges in luxury and Beauty which Socrates hated. Socrates, his student Plato and his Student Aristotle all the three names every person who knows Philosophy knows. But Diogenes is a underrated philosopher who is not as known as the big three
After seeing the interview Michael Mando did about this DLC, I remember him saying that Vaas is really trying to keep his inner child alive. And in a way, I can't help but think that the Tennis Ball version of himself is his inner child (or rather it represents Vaas's inner child, anyway).

Does anyone else love how the bad guy DLC's really make you connect with the villain, they make you love them even more, and they show their true feelings and motives and make you feel a little bad for them.
I think it's because we all play the villian sometimes. Most people are perceived as the good-guy to most people in our lives. However, SOMETIMES we are the villian to SOME people. A few instances of villiany does not make a good person into a bad person. However, the good person will continue to think about and remember those FEW instances of the bad things they did. And, they will continue to think about those bad things they did while knowing they were BRIEFLY the bad-guy. Seeing a bad-guy redeem themselves (even a little bit) reminds us that we may redeem ourselves as well. There is an old quote which goes: "Is it better to be born good...and, never do evil? Or, is it better to be born evil...and, learn to become good by over-coming the evil?" It seems like that's what happened to Vaas. However, he was born good...was broken by so many factors in his life working against him. He was re-born into becoming evil. Then, he over-came that evil, and returned to good in the end.
Vaas took a blade to the heart yes, but it didn’t kill him, instead he lived and escaped Rook island ( maybe he didn’t and/or is a different island) leaving behind his psychotic nature leaving him stranded and crazy talking to a tennis ball. But if he is the voice of the smuggler then this dlc would take place before far cry 6 meaning that the “big things” he was talking about was most likely smugglin. Maybe that’s where he starts off or if there is something he is planning in the future.
It reminds me of Dennis’s outfit. Idk what do you think? You think maybe Dennis and him met? After all Dennis loved Citra and duel between the two men who loved the same woman.
@@gamevidz8763 oh shit I forgot Dennis wore that cameo jacket! Maybe after Far Cry 3 when Vaas dealt with his inner Demons & Insanity, he visited Dennis, learned that he killed Citra accidentally, then killed him because Vaas wanted to do it himself. Then took his jacket as a sign of Vaas becoming a new man with a somewhat clear mind & new view on life.
It’s poetic in a way. The mind that was trapping Vaas inside driving him to madness and to destroy himself, is the mind that now he broke free from and became his best friend.
I find it funny how the ball Vaas talks to he shaped the head to look like Jason. Guess this confirms the symmetry theory, depending on what ending you deem to be canon…Jason fell into the dark becoming more sociopathic throughout the game and ended with him doing the ritual with Citra while Vaas at the end of this abandoned that as he said Citra was his darkness and by the looks of it he abandoned his ultra violent ways, well as much as someone like Vass can do it. He’s most likely just a drug smuggler but no longer a psychotic war lord. I also find it interesting that he was actually talking planning to start a war with his boss.
i much have rather have Jason abandon that too, so later he, Ajay, Rook, and Dani can team up in later games, he’s the guy that started it all, plus his arc is insanely interesting, i want a Ethan Winters send off for him like Resident evil Village.
@@asscheeks3212 I'm not sure how rook could be continued with the others. Being custom mute character can be solved but FC5's ending is in the way of that, they wrote themselves into a corner, only way out is the bliss theory but I doubt they are going to make it canon they already confirmed the nukes to be real
@@RaRmAn eh they retconned a death, they can easily retconned nukes, after all ubisoft has done some stupider stuff with other franchises like Assassin's creed.
@@asscheeks3212 I love that you think retconning a death is so much harder than retconning a nuclear fallout. And what have they done that’s crazier in AC?
Symmetry theory isn't even really a concrete idea. Its the idea that there are parallels between Vass and Jason. Not that there even the same person or anything. Pretty simple and I don't think the point is if there's a cannon, your clearly supposed to interpret as much as you want.
I could see Vaas and Jason sharing a beer and talking about how Citra fucked them both up and laughing it up in the end. Both of them finally being friends instead of enemies.
For some reason I thought the tennis ball was suppose to represent Jason because of the spiky hair Vaas gave it, then I noticed it had a scar similar to Vaas’s on the left side of his head. Basically he made a mini him
I always thought the tennis ball was supposed to represent Christopher Mintz Plasse because of what happened in the Far Cry Experience short film. (Which is technically canon)
I really like hearing Vaas’s own voice trying to coax him to exit through the doorway. This DLC did a great job at fleshing out Vaas as a character and showing him rising above all the pain he inflicted and endured. I think it’s crucial to note that in the end, Vaas doesn’t attempt to slay the Giant Citra, he just leaves her. I think this does incredible service to Vaas as a character. Despite all the manipulation and mental damage Citra caused Vaas, in the end, Vaas decided to walk away and not try to return the favor. This DLC is not trying to give Vaas a chance to get his revenge, it is about showing how even an incredibly demented and troubled person can achieve some degree of spiritual enlightenment and literally rise above all the bullshit entangled in their brain. In a way, Vaas fucked up Citra in the worst way imaginable, because everyday Vaas lives and enjoys his freedom is a victory for him and a loss for her.
Probably going to be his relationship with Ajay's Mother and Before her Escape and him coming to grips with her Leaving and His only daughter being Killed by Mohan Gale after the Affair with Ajay's Mother and Conceiving a Daughter.
@@John-Stark Since most likely the ending in 4 where he leaves in the helicopter will be canon, maybe they will show where he has been hiding since the events of FarCry 4 and if he ever spoke to Ajay again.
So, the way I see it: Vaas managed to survive Jason's "Fatal blow" due to him not hitting any major organs. Jason vaguely remembers Vaas lookong at him after he "died" but he didn't really care since Vaas probably stuck him with a syringe filled with some kind of drug (in the "Peekaboo, motherfucker" scene Jason remembers being stabbed with The Dragon Blade even though neither of them had it. It hints towards a hallucination). He patched himself up with the leftover meds and just...Kept on living. No one stepped on Vaas' island ever since the day Jason "killed" him. There were plenty of food like fruit and wild game, so he never needed to leave. The place became yet another ruin, forgotten and left to rot. Just like Vaas himself. The story of Vaas Montenegro in this DLC highlighted one thing incredibly clear: It wasn't Hoyt who corrupted Vaas and destroyed him. It was Citra herself. She was a narcissistic nationalist megalomaniac and nothing was ever enough. Not even her own fucking brother. *Women, am I right?* [Sitcom laughter]
I really hope in the next far cry they follow up with this and bring vaas back properly we always seem to play the hero would be good to see what it’s like to play the villain in a full game and who better than vaas
Far Cry, a phrase that defines when something is different, far different, than what we know. A Far Cry from home, a Far Cry from life, a Far Cry of who you are.
That’s so sad, at the ends where he’s talking to the tennis ball and says "I love you more" then looks surprise cause no one has ever said that to him. this vaas character is a tortured soul.
Let's hope they don't make him a villain again (kinda breaks this whole pseudo redemption thing), nor a main protagonist (though this is less abhorrent than making him be a villain again). I'd be perfectly find if he was a side character we did a couple missions for, maybe a gun vendor or something.
Now This is a True Ending , Not a Secret Ending, But TRUE ENDING. Vaas is Finally Found in Peace in a living life..From Far Cry 3 of death to Far Cry 6 DLC of live. Alive is a Life..
@@richardendresz161 but in the end, even he's a villain like vaas of Far Cry 3... The real villain is a real VILLAIN.. the name is Her, Citra... So For That, Vaas must have find his own way..
@@jaime_a_mendozaiii2000 Bro I love that you recognize the real villain of FC3 as Citra. People are like "it was Hoyt" and I'm like bro FC3 is so deep you never realize your were working with the villain the whole time.
Honestly, I like to think that's actually all what he wanted. Just a friend who just loved him and the quiet. So crazy how much a difference life is yes?
10:56 you know ? This scene really made me so sad because vaas here reminds me of myself when I care and think about people who don't care about me and have no value for them
When he auditioned for FarCry 3 the actor just unscripted sat yelling at a tennis ball about the definition of insanity, that little ball at the end was more a call back to that than to the movie castaway.
Honestly this made me sad vaas went literally insane but I can't blame the developers wanting to kill off a character not that he's dead but we will never see vaas again goodbye my old friend
Years later and we see vaas as the same enigma of insanity. When we see him as a old man and all alone and talking to a tennis ball. Trying to live a quiet life on rook island.
Michael Mando was built for this role. It made me so happy Ubisoft brought him back one last time (hopefully not the last). I really hope he returns in the next game.
Really strange how Vaas got so old, he was born in 1984 so in 2012 (far cry 3) he was 28 and in 2021 (far cry 6) he would be 38. 2012 and 2021 being the time both games are set in. So that's odd, unless the cutscene at the end is in the future, years after the events of far cry 6.
@@jakowski630 Vaas did get stabbed as a moment in this DLC we see that event. Vass just got very lucky his stab wounds did not become fatal some how and he survived. I can only assume people assumed Vaas was dead due to him being stabbed multiple times, Jason returning alive, and no one checked his vitals before leaving his body.
Looking back i think vaas was the only rakyat who wasnt insane.... I feel like being raised into the whole Alabama your sister after becoming a warrior thing is what stoked that spark of sanity into a fire that made him lose it. He clearly cherished the innocent memories he had of citra. Wich to me implies the sister fucking thing was something that was expected of him rather than something he wants..... Hence like Oedipus vaas has lost it due to the conflict in his mind between the purity his relationship with his sister should have and his desire to make her happy vs the toxicity it actually was and his inability to reconcile the two In short he wants to make his sister happy more than anything.... Having to fuck her to do it is what broke him
For people wondering how Vaas didn't die, I saw another comment on another video explaining this perfectly: The entire fight with Vaas was a dream sequence. Jason never actually stabbed Vaas, because unlike every other boss in the game, we not only can't see his body afterwards, but we also can't even return to where we fought him. That entire fight was in Jason's head, hence Vaas sitting here on the beach some odd years later.
I'd like to see something where Jason and Vaas get to talk to each other, and then Jason understanding that Vaas did all that just because he was being played by Citra too, and then Jason forgives him.
God, this is beautiful. I wasn't expecting that ending. People called me crazy for thinking that Vaas was still alive somehow, but now. Oh God, the nostalgia. This is defined the best ending for Vaas ❤️
Vaas's DLC is similar to the mini game that Jason plays when Vaas stabs him with the knife in FC3. Both of these events took place in their heads. An inner battle of obsession.
The problem with that is that in 4, you have the choice to kill Pagan Min or let him go, and in 5, Joseph Seed survives a minimum of 17 years into the apocalypse. Vaas outright died in 3 until it just got retconned. Plus, Pagan actually liked Ajay, since he was a part of his early childhood.
@@100nitrog2 i mean, did Jason really kill Vaas in his hallucination? he was stabbed with the dragonhead knife, but somehow found it in his hallucination. I think that vaas just drugged him and left, making Jason think that he died
Did anyone notice that the tennis ball has Jason Brodys hair style? Maybe I’m wrong and it is Vaas Mohawk, but it definitely resembles Jason’s hair. Just an observation
I feel vass has evolved to the point where in the next game or as it stands to be he's like a hurk or Longinus type of character but with a shaky moral compas
God,this both breaks and warms my heart,breaks it as I know this doesn’t happen in the main universe but happy knowing Vaas is living a chill life after all the shit he’s been through being manipulated and such in one world in this franchise
Making Jason the villain, makes sense considering what happened to him throughout Far Cry 3. Going from the innocent party person to a cold blooded killer with intent to murder by the end.
so basically vaas didn't die and the fight between him and Jason happened inside Jason's mind because we never see his body after we kill him , and in fc4 ajay stayed at the palace and pagan min made him the next king , and from pagan's dlc secret ending we know that the nuke that dropped at Montana came from under pagan's palace , so it must be ajay who launched them for some reason , and we know that during fc5's events that a massive conflict between countries was happening , so maybe keyrat and America were enemies and that explains the montana nuking , and yes joseph was right from the start because he predicted that
That'd be dope if they made the ending of 3 where Citra has Jason's child the canon ending, and there was another game where you play as Vaad warring against Citra and her son
Funny thing the tennis ball vass is talking to is a refrence to when they made the game the actor had to look at a tennis ball since it was first person cutscenes.
I literally didn't even realize Michael Mando voiced Vaas in the Far Cry franchise. But in Far Cry 6 it's more funny, because Giancarlo Esposito aka "Gus" also plays a dictator in Far Cry 6.
Love the Diomedes reference at the end. That's what Diomedes, the famous philosopher who had nothing out of principal, said to *the* Alexander the Great when he came to admire his favorite philosopher, right before he went and conquered the known world.
interesting how vaas seems to have dennis's jacket. but again, could well belong to some other dead american merc or soldier found on the island. Still, I like to think dennis was killed some time after the events of far cry 3 to the hands of vaas or one of his pirates
Castillo is nothing compared to Vaas, or even Joseph Seed to be honest. I hope Far Cry returns to such well-written and captivating villains in the next game
Vaas talking with his puppet friend make me cry he was just a broken teenager who try to fix the sh1ts of her sister and become a monster for no get therapy he was a good person he just have a bad luck

Seeing a bad-guy redeem themselves (even a little bit) reminds us that we may redeem ourselves as well.
There is an old quote which goes: "Is it better to be born good...and, never do evil? Or, is it better to be born evil...and, learn to become good by over-coming the evil?" It seems like that's what happened to Vaas. However, he was born good...was broken by so many factors in his life working against him. He was re-born into becoming evil. Then, he over-came that evil, and returned to good in the end.
this is the only good one tbh. The others have no redemption for the villain
@@papoprimearchon9910 not Pagan?
@@etam8099 not even pagan
I only wish they were DLCs for their respective games instead of Far Cry 6.
Vaas took a blade to the heart yes, but it didn’t kill him, instead he lived and escaped Rook island ( maybe he didn’t and/or is a different island) leaving behind his psychotic nature leaving him stranded and crazy talking to a tennis ball. But if he is the voice of the smuggler then this dlc would take place before far cry 6 meaning that the “big things” he was talking about was most likely smugglin. Maybe that’s where he starts off or if there is something he is planning in the future.
He did say he had met with God in near death experience
Maybe Vaas got lucky and Jason missed his heart
@@eggbois6957 that is true recovery for wound like is miracle
Play the game all the way thru and wait for the credits to roll . Youre in for a surprise
maybe, vaas is working with bembe alvarez a black market smuggler as his member.
Seeing Jason as a tennis ball really creeper me out and gave me a huge smile
Its not Jason
It's a tennis ball-shaped head of Jason with pointy hair.
@@TaskForce-js1vy why does it have the same scar that Vass has then?
@@TaskForce-js1vy No it's not. Jason doesn't have a scar on his face and he doesn't have hair like a mohawk.
Pretty sure its both jason and vass
Vaas is wearing his original clothing below the military one Incase someone says something
The question is where did he get the jacket & who it belonged too?
But now his clothing appearence is now more closely to jacob seed. Because both of them wearing army jackets.
It reminds me of Dennis’s outfit. Idk what do you think? You think maybe Dennis and him met? After all Dennis loved Citra and duel between the two men who loved the same woman.
@@gamevidz8763 oh shit I forgot Dennis wore that cameo jacket! Maybe after Far Cry 3 when Vaas dealt with his inner Demons & Insanity, he visited Dennis, learned that he killed Citra accidentally, then killed him because Vaas wanted to do it himself. Then took his jacket as a sign of Vaas becoming a new man with a somewhat clear mind & new view on life.
It’s poetic in a way.
The mind that was trapping Vaas inside driving him to madness and to destroy himself, is the mind that now he broke free from and became his best friend.
I find it funny how the ball Vaas talks to he shaped the head to look like Jason. Guess this confirms the symmetry theory, depending on what ending you deem to be canon…Jason fell into the dark becoming more sociopathic throughout the game and ended with him doing the ritual with Citra while Vaas at the end of this abandoned that as he said Citra was his darkness and by the looks of it he abandoned his ultra violent ways, well as much as someone like Vass can do it. He’s most likely just a drug smuggler but no longer a psychotic war lord.
I also find it interesting that he was actually talking planning to start a war with his boss.
i much have rather have Jason abandon that too, so later he, Ajay, Rook, and Dani can team up in later games, he’s the guy that started it all, plus his arc is insanely interesting, i want a Ethan Winters send off for him like Resident evil Village.
@@asscheeks3212 I'm not sure how rook could be continued with the others. Being custom mute character can be solved but FC5's ending is in the way of that, they wrote themselves into a corner, only way out is the bliss theory but I doubt they are going to make it canon they already confirmed the nukes to be real
@@RaRmAn eh they retconned a death, they can easily retconned nukes, after all ubisoft has done some stupider stuff with other franchises like Assassin's creed.
@@asscheeks3212 I love that you think retconning a death is so much harder than retconning a nuclear fallout. And what have they done that’s crazier in AC?
Symmetry theory isn't even really a concrete idea. Its the idea that there are parallels between Vass and Jason.
Not that there even the same person or anything. Pretty simple and I don't think the point is if there's a cannon, your clearly supposed to interpret as much as you want.
I could see Vaas and Jason sharing a beer and talking about how Citra fucked them both up and laughing it up in the end. Both of them finally being friends instead of enemies.
Then vaas say "hey how's grant" and Jason just gives him the stink eye
@@ExiledJason jason gets a grenade out and they start playing hot potato
@@curtismcpsycho8212 I can definitely see that lol they both are insane now right? Ever since the Citra situation?
@@kennythealpha5437 yeah I feel like if they were both drunk enough one of them would die right then and there
I can actually see that
For some reason I thought the tennis ball was suppose to represent Jason because of the spiky hair Vaas gave it, then I noticed it had a scar similar to Vaas’s on the left side of his head. Basically he made a mini him
I always thought the tennis ball was supposed to represent Christopher Mintz Plasse because of what happened in the Far Cry Experience short film. (Which is technically canon)
he's supposed to represent them both. Basically him saying that they were always one and the same
I thought it more a call back to Wilson from the movie Cast Away.
It’s both of em it’s obviously Jason because of the hair but it’s also vaas because of the scar.
Perhaps the ball represents both of them, the argument of fc3 was that vaas anf jason are the same
I really like hearing Vaas’s own voice trying to coax him to exit through the doorway. This DLC did a great job at fleshing out Vaas as a character and showing him rising above all the pain he inflicted and endured. I think it’s crucial to note that in the end, Vaas doesn’t attempt to slay the Giant Citra, he just leaves her. I think this does incredible service to Vaas as a character. Despite all the manipulation and mental damage Citra caused Vaas, in the end, Vaas decided to walk away and not try to return the favor. This DLC is not trying to give Vaas a chance to get his revenge, it is about showing how even an incredibly demented and troubled person can achieve some degree of spiritual enlightenment and literally rise above all the bullshit entangled in their brain. In a way, Vaas fucked up Citra in the worst way imaginable, because everyday Vaas lives and enjoys his freedom is a victory for him and a loss for her.
Vaas went through his Thorfinn arc
Vaas is the type of guy who uses 5,000 phones playing crypto games all at once.
Now im curious to see what direction they took with Pagan Min. Hopefully that DLC will be as good as this one.
I hope we destroy the Golden Path and retake Kyrat with the FC4 character
Probably going to be his relationship with Ajay's Mother and Before her Escape and him coming to grips with her Leaving and His only daughter being Killed by Mohan Gale after the Affair with Ajay's Mother and Conceiving a Daughter.
@@brandonstowe5849 hopefully we kill Mohan in the DLC, I fucking hate the Golden Path
@@John-Stark Since most likely the ending in 4 where he leaves in the helicopter will be canon, maybe they will show where he has been hiding since the events of FarCry 4 and if he ever spoke to Ajay again.
I think I'm more hyped for that.
Really it makes perfect sense Vaas is alive. The kill wasn’t confirmed like Buck and Hoyt.
Come to think of it, yeh, it didn't show his corpse after the woozy part, just straight to Citra.
Question is how did he survive it
@@quintinwright8487 maybe he didn't got stabbed
@@bigmac1014 true wasn't some of it in Jason's head
Writers did however confirm it.
So, the way I see it:
Vaas managed to survive Jason's "Fatal blow" due to him not hitting any major organs. Jason vaguely remembers Vaas lookong at him after he "died" but he didn't really care since Vaas probably stuck him with a syringe filled with some kind of drug (in the "Peekaboo, motherfucker" scene Jason remembers being stabbed with The Dragon Blade even though neither of them had it. It hints towards a hallucination). He patched himself up with the leftover meds and just...Kept on living.
No one stepped on Vaas' island ever since the day Jason "killed" him. There were plenty of food like fruit and wild game, so he never needed to leave. The place became yet another ruin, forgotten and left to rot. Just like Vaas himself.
The story of Vaas Montenegro in this DLC highlighted one thing incredibly clear: It wasn't Hoyt who corrupted Vaas and destroyed him. It was Citra herself. She was a narcissistic nationalist megalomaniac and nothing was ever enough. Not even her own fucking brother.
*Women, am I right?*
[Sitcom laughter]
Women as always
I really hope in the next far cry they follow up with this and bring vaas back properly we always seem to play the hero would be good to see what it’s like to play the villain in a full game and who better than vaas
Being a villain would definitely fit what the Far Cry series a bit better.
@@ninjaeddy1717 they already did it’s called far cry 2
it’s hard to enjoy Vaas without him glaring at me, he was so menacing and most of the game is in a First person perspective....

Far Cry, a phrase that defines when something is different, far different, than what we know. A Far Cry from home, a Far Cry from life, a Far Cry of who you are.
Also a far cry of what the series used to be.
The newer titles suck ass
Vaas: But what would you say to god, huh?
Also Vaas: i would say.. "god.. Did i ever tell you the definition of Insanity?
Classic
Imagine if they thru in that line somewhere… I would lovenit
Perfect 😂 lol
That’s so sad, at the ends where he’s talking to the tennis ball and says "I love you more" then looks surprise cause no one has ever said that to him. this vaas character is a tortured soul.
now lets hope they dont do nothing with this
that aside honestly really nostalgic and beautiful
Let's hope they don't make him a villain again (kinda breaks this whole pseudo redemption thing), nor a main protagonist (though this is less abhorrent than making him be a villain again). I'd be perfectly find if he was a side character we did a couple missions for, maybe a gun vendor or something.
Ohhh i love this dlc so much, bring back vaas and make it playable is something that makes me appreciate ubisoft so hard.
It's kinda weird how light his voice was in the beginning
Im guessing its young vaas
This is oddly nice. Vaas was and frankly still is crazy but he seems healthier and happier now. Like he now has a chance to be happy.
It just makes him more threatening. The calm, quiet lunatic is 10000x more unpredictable and dangerous than the bombastic loudmouth.
Now This is a True Ending , Not a Secret Ending, But TRUE ENDING.
Vaas is Finally Found in Peace in a living life..From Far Cry 3 of death to Far Cry 6 DLC of live.
Alive is a Life..
We arrived here tough several retcons and bad games and wannabe Vaas imposter villains

Honestly, I like to think that's actually all what he wanted. Just a friend who just loved him and the quiet. So crazy how much a difference life is yes?
I'm just happy Nacho got work while we wait for Better Call Saul.
i love the diogenes and alexander the great anecdote reference
They finally brought back the theme omg yesss

When he auditioned for FarCry 3 the actor just unscripted sat yelling at a tennis ball about the definition of insanity, that little ball at the end was more a call back to that than to the movie castaway.
was the first that came to mind too,Castaway.
Honestly this made me sad vaas went literally insane but I can't blame the developers wanting to kill off a character not that he's dead but we will never see vaas again goodbye my old friend
They obviously have future plans with him “me and you are do amazing things” wasn’t just a throw away line
@@Alecfisher01 I think it was meant to be a hint that he would do smuggling since in the end of far cry 6 the credits show him talking to jaun
Years later and we see vaas as the same enigma of insanity. When we see him as a old man and all alone and talking to a tennis ball. Trying to live a quiet life on rook island.
Michael Mando was built for this role. It made me so happy Ubisoft brought him back one last time (hopefully not the last). I really hope he returns in the next game.
11:20 “Did I ever tell you the definition of insanity”
They should do thats
Woulda been coolish.
Really strange how Vaas got so old, he was born in 1984 so in 2012 (far cry 3) he was 28 and in 2021 (far cry 6) he would be 38. 2012 and 2021 being the time both games are set in. So that's odd, unless the cutscene at the end is in the future, years after the events of far cry 6.
beard and hair can become grey in really short time. so it could very well be in 2021
and also he's a man that has experienced tons of stress so it's easier to grey.
drugs
His skin hasn’t got much signs of ageing, it’s just his beard that’s going a bit grey.
Heavy drug users and people with lots of stress can get grey hair early as 30s
Damn , they even reused the old Far Cry 3 soundtrack- Journey To Madness
Now both Jason and Vaas have outgrown Citra, overcome their demons and made peace with themselves.
I’m pretty sure everyone knew vaas was alive 😂
He opened the eyes in 3 and we never saw his body
Yeah I'm only the few persons knew he was alive when jason got hallucinate
He dead they just retconned for clout
Nope he was confirmed to be dead. This is a garbage retcon.
@@jakowski630 Vaas did get stabbed as a moment in this DLC we see that event. Vass just got very lucky his stab wounds did not become fatal some how and he survived. I can only assume people assumed Vaas was dead due to him being stabbed multiple times, Jason returning alive, and no one checked his vitals before leaving his body.
10:14
Imagine if Nacho Varga survived from Gus and the Salamancas'...
Gah that hit hard
Besides vaas hearing Jason and citra again was so good
He should have said: "God, did I ever tell you what the definition of insanity is?"
damn man you really are going through your joker arc
@@ayokmschangedhisname4393 why so serious
“You never heard of less is more?” Killed me🤣
Looking back i think vaas was the only rakyat who wasnt insane....
I feel like being raised into the whole Alabama your sister after becoming a warrior thing is what stoked that spark of sanity into a fire that made him lose it. He clearly cherished the innocent memories he had of citra. Wich to me implies the sister fucking thing was something that was expected of him rather than something he wants..... Hence like Oedipus vaas has lost it due to the conflict in his mind between the purity his relationship with his sister should have and his desire to make her happy vs the toxicity it actually was and his inability to reconcile the two
In short he wants to make his sister happy more than anything.... Having to fuck her to do it is what broke him
For people wondering how Vaas didn't die, I saw another comment on another video explaining this perfectly: The entire fight with Vaas was a dream sequence. Jason never actually stabbed Vaas, because unlike every other boss in the game, we not only can't see his body afterwards, but we also can't even return to where we fought him. That entire fight was in Jason's head, hence Vaas sitting here on the beach some odd years later.
Writer said before far cry6s existence that Vaas died.
Dude...it didnt just take place in Jason's head. All of Hoyt's men and Hoyt say Vaas is also dead
@@charlesandhisworld

He abandon Citra and join Hoyt, then he kills Jason brother.

God, this is beautiful. I wasn't expecting that ending. People called me crazy for thinking that Vaas was still alive somehow, but now. Oh God, the nostalgia. This is defined the best ending for Vaas ❤️
They rewrote that he died.
@@a.k8185 I mean, there was never a body and Jason was drugged up at the time.
@@hatad321 the writer did say then that he died.
i could listen to Michael Mando dropping F bombs all day ahahah
Vaas's DLC is similar to the mini game that Jason plays when Vaas stabs him with the knife in FC3. Both of these events took place in their heads. An inner battle of obsession.
Vaas has his own wilson lmao
I'm guessing every villian dlc is going to have a secret ending of them being confirmed alive and moving on from their enemies (the protagonist)
The problem with that is that in 4, you have the choice to kill Pagan Min or let him go, and in 5, Joseph Seed survives a minimum of 17 years into the apocalypse. Vaas outright died in 3 until it just got retconned. Plus, Pagan actually liked Ajay, since he was a part of his early childhood.
@@100nitrog2 i mean, did Jason really kill Vaas in his hallucination? he was stabbed with the dragonhead knife, but somehow found it in his hallucination. I think that vaas just drugged him and left, making Jason think that he died

He made the ball look like himself
U mean Vaas Mohawk?
Man at 12:04, I got that "Vaas story isn't over" feeling.
I feel vass has evolved to the point where in the next game or as it stands to be he's like a hurk or Longinus type of character but with a shaky moral compas
God,this both breaks and warms my heart,breaks it as I know this doesn’t happen in the main universe but happy knowing Vaas is living a chill life after all the shit he’s been through being manipulated and such in one world in this franchise
Making Jason the villain, makes sense considering what happened to him throughout Far Cry 3.
Going from the innocent party person to a cold blooded killer with intent to murder by the end.
so basically vaas didn't die and the fight between him and Jason happened inside Jason's mind because we never see his body after we kill him , and in fc4 ajay stayed at the palace and pagan min made him the next king , and from pagan's dlc secret ending we know that the nuke that dropped at Montana came from under pagan's palace , so it must be ajay who launched them for some reason , and we know that during fc5's events that a massive conflict between countries was happening , so maybe keyrat and America were enemies and that explains the montana nuking , and yes joseph was right from the start because he predicted that
This scene is so meta, instead of an over the top caricature of insanity
It's a chill monologue to peacefully end it.
He’s wearing the jacket of the man who killed his sister
That'd be dope if they made the ending of 3 where Citra has Jason's child the canon ending, and there was another game where you play as Vaad warring against Citra and her son
The canon ending was where he saves his friends.
I like that the little tennis ball he has with him is supposed to look like Jason
Do you know the one of the best parts of the Far Cry games, it’s Ubisoft’s experimental DLCs
It seem he succeeded to leave The other place and kinda live a life without doing bad I think
The tennis ball has spiked hair, it’s a bit of a stretch but is that Vaas manifesting an imaginary Jason?
Not at all stretch it definitely is Jason, he was always obsessed with him in FC3 why would it change now?
Damn Ignacio had some extreme headache and turned into a psycho after BCS.
YES VAAS IS ALIVE!!
I cried when the tennis ball said i love you more
Seeing Vaas alive makes me so happy.
In the same game is Gustavo fring and nacho varga
" you were never my light...you were my darkness" that hit hard
Funny thing the tennis ball vass is talking to is a refrence to when they made the game the actor had to look at a tennis ball since it was first person cutscenes.
I literally didn't even realize Michael Mando voiced Vaas in the Far Cry franchise.
But in Far Cry 6 it's more funny, because Giancarlo Esposito aka "Gus" also plays a dictator in Far Cry 6.
Damn vaas looks like he need a vacation 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Looks like he's had too much vacation, and he didn't like it.
Seeing Vaas very old but still the more insane than normal is kinda emotional in my opinion
Kinda annoyed its taken so long to come back to this dude, vaas is such a great character to follow
With vaas still being alive along with pretty much every recent far cry villain I really hope we see Jason and ajay in the future

interesting how vaas seems to have dennis's jacket. but again, could well belong to some other dead american merc or soldier found on the island. Still, I like to think dennis was killed some time after the events of far cry 3 to the hands of vaas or one of his pirates
Castillo is nothing compared to Vaas, or even Joseph Seed to be honest. I hope Far Cry returns to such well-written and captivating villains in the next game
